“What would we do without Maria?! Even on a hit day, Maria makes th effort to give our dog a long walk, providing both exercise and affection. So grateful!”

About: I grew up with multiple family pets and have always had pets since being on my own. I have watched and cared for family and friends animals when needed for many years. I am fortunate to be able work from home and make my own hours with my current job. This allows me the opportunity to have a flexible schedule. I will care for your pet as if they were my own at your home and/or take them for a walk according to your instruction and preferences.

“Miranda was our first dog walker and we are so happy that we decided to book! She made us comfortable by staying in contact with us and making our doggo comfortable. Miranda was very accommodating and friendly! Will definitely use again and recommend! Thank you!!!”

“So nice and great with the dogs. Definitely made me feel better while I was away from home :)”

“I cannot say enough good things about Shannon! My dog is very shy and cautious towards strangers, but, as shown by the daily adorable photos, they bonded, and my dog even did tricks for Shannon--something she would normally never do for someone who's not me or my wife. She frequently took my dog on longer walks than expected, and even left us a bunch of baked doggy treats on her last day. We've already rebooked her for later in the fall. Highly, highly recommend!”

About: I’ve done overnight and day visits with dogs and cats for years and do multiple days during the week now for a family member. I work well with large and small dogs. I am available all days of the week and have a very flexible class schedule so can easily fit in a visit with your pup! I am available for overnights every night as well! I have babysat for people who have both fenced and non fenced yards so I can easily work with leash using dogs. I myself have much experience with stubborn and large dogs on leashes so can handle tough pups!

About: I’ve had my own animals, both cats and dogs (mainly cats) since I was 6 years old. I’ve had to administer insulin before to my diabetic cat that has since passed. My experience with dogs are mainly of the bigger size (I had a pitbull/boxer mix and a pure bred chow chow). I’m currently working as a Direct Support Professional overnights 9pm-9am Thursday through Saturday (technically Sunday 9am). So I’m pretty open for picking up last minute gigs if needed. I would love to have a break down of your pets day to day. Typically when they are most ready to play or eat. When potty breaks need to be done around.

“This was my first experience entrusting my puppy with a dog walker, and Lydia exceeded my expectations. She’s very communicative, open to my requests, and took great care of my little girl. Lydia also takes the cutest pictures! I’d recommend her, and I’ll be a repeat client for sure.”

“Leydi does a great job and is very flexible with booking schedules. I have a very active dog and she gets a great workout!”

About: Hey, Rover friends! My name is Alex (he/they) and I absolutely love dogs. Growing up with an 85-pound yellow lab, I fell in love with these gentle giants as a kid, and volunteered at the local animal shelter during high school. I have experience with various types of training, including crate training, teaching loose-leash walking, and doing socialization work in public places. Over the past four years, I have sat for dozens of clients, both through Rover and for family and friends. I also serve as a regular dog walker for several others. I have experience with a wide variety of dog breeds and ages. From rescue mutts to the stigmatized Bully breeds, family dogs, and herding dogs, I believe that each dog has a unique personality and can thrive given the right circumstances! In the next couple of years, I hope to adopt a rescue dog myself, but right now, Rover gives me the chance to be around lots of different animals despite my busy lifestyle. I am a PhD candidate, and I work from home a good portion of the week. When I teach, I am typically gone for 4 hours at the most, so I am able to check in on dogs frequently. I am also a very active person and enjoy strolls through the park, long hikes, or easy tempo runs on local cross-country trails. For doggy daycare and boarding, I have a comfy crate that is adjustable to your pup's size, and for their safety, I typically crate them if I leave the house until we have built a relationship. I have a small fenced-in backyard which is perfect for potty breaks, fetch, and short training sessions. I live close to Washington Park, and frequently take pups on the loop around the lake. I also enjoy taking day trips to the Adirondacks and Catskills for hiking :)

About: I’m a good dog walker and can play with them and feed them too. I’ll make sure they are treated right and feel safe around me. I’m around and free whenever possible to take care for pets for friends and family if they need it. I treat them as family and make sure they have fun too I will make sure they are on a leash when we go for walks outside of the house. Won’t leave doors open and make sure to car them if needed too.

About: I have always loved dogs and being around them. I have been caring for my own chihuahua for about 10 years, I also use to dog sit my aunts dog whenever she was away. Daily walks, belly rubs and play are always included in my schedule. If any oral medication need to be given I can most certainly do that. I like to make dogs feel comfortable and calm around me, so I will always be there to show them love and play throughout my stay. I always send daily updates! Pictures and videos are my favorites to send, I believe it makes the dog parents feel close to their babies - while also giving them a sense of security that their dog is ok while they are away from them. I am currently only available 3 days out of the week at the moment! I am trying to slowly ease myself into pet sitting/walking again after losing my Chi in August. Safety is number one. I will always put the pups well-being as a priority. So making sure I know of any animals in the area that might be dangerous or if we are in a clients backyard; if there are places the dog can escape from.

About: I’ve taken care of animals my whole life, I’ve owned multiple dogs & cats that are sadly no longer with me. I love the joy going for a run or walk can bring them. Bathing your furry friend is never an issue. I do have a cat named Zelda who loves animals but she’s the only one I have now. Offering boarding services for holiday times coming up! I work part time and go to school full time as well as being a mother to my daughter. We can always talk about what works best for us both & your furry friend(s). I do have an open backyard but I do have extra long tie outs so they will be able to run. I have no problem taking them to a local dog park or a walk around the neighborhood. If you’re going on vacation & your furry friend can’t come, we can easily discuss what works best for scheduling.

About: I've been involved in dog rescue for over 20 years and often board former foster pups. I give a lot of attention and soft play to minimize the stress of their owners being away. I recently completed a 220 hour veterinary assistant certification. I am semi-retired and have a lot of flexibility to handle midday let outs/walks/medication administration etc. Every morning I walk the Capital Hills Golf Course. In the winter I walk it in the morning and afternoon. I am available most weekends, holidays and school vacations. Pets in my home enjoy lots of exercise and soft play--fetch, tug of war, etc. Dogs that prefer to stay home will have a minimum of 3 visits per day for feeding, exercise and play. For golf course walks, I offer free pickup within two miles of the route from my house to the course.

“Kassandra was fantastic! She walked my 50 lb doberman/vizsla mix over the course of a week, and was great with her. She's flexible with scheduling and was so accommodating despite my insane schedule. Book her if you get the chance!”

About: I've been taking care of a wide variety of animals for a long time. I have experience in all around basic boarding care for dogs, cats, and various reptiles and small animals; dog training basic obedience, fear or frustration aggression/reactivity, high drive dogs, and anxiety behaviors. Pet Care is not only an important part of my life, but it's a passion of mine. Caring for your animal like I do my own is what makes life rewarding for me. When your pet is with me it becomes a part of my family and is treated as such. I look forward to training or caring for your animals! I can train your dog in a multitude of ways. I work a lot of animals with anxiety and behavioral issues. I can easily crate your dog, cat or any other animal if needed. I have access to multiple fenced in yards for your pet to run around in and play. I have a fully trained purebred smooth collie who is extremely gentle and can make friends with anything. I have multiple rooms and spaces in order to accommodate your fur baby's needs. I pay attention to detail and carry out all care with the highest level of standards I can.

“Wonderful! We’re so lucky to have worked with Sarah! She was so great with Louie. Excellent communication and took the best care of Louie on his walks!”

About: I have loved animals all my life and your pet will have a great and safe time with me. I will make sure they are well cared for and that they get out a lot during the day. I am usually home all the time but if for some reason I have to leave they will be safe in one room. I have a 15 year old son who also loves animals and really wants a dog and this will also be an excellent opportunity for him to really learn what it is like taking care of a dog. your pet will be in great hands. So give us a call and we will treat your pet like the family member I know every pet owner wants

“Net did a fantastic job with our dog’s first Rover experience and we were happy to get the photos, update and report cards - assurance our dog was being treated great while we were away. We will be booking with Net again!”
