“Our beagle mix had a wonderful time on his walk with Gloria. She was very punctual, and she understood Charlie's need for a slow pace since he has to sniff everything!”

“Candice was so communicative and made me feel at ease before she even arrived at the house. This was my first time using Rover and first time having someone walk Mocha without a previous introduction. It was so nice to know that Mocha was in good hands and Candice went above and beyond in making sure she got a good walk in and had time to pee/poop. I'm so appreciative of Candice and would recommend her to anyone!”

About: I am a licensed veterinary technician with prior experience working at an emergency veterinary hospital. If your pet needs medications administered or has special needs, I am able to care for them. I have been pet sitting for friends and family for many years and have cared for cats and dogs of various breeds. Currently, I live with a Boxer, a Miniature Poodle, and a white Turkish Van breed cat. I will make sure that your pets are comfortable and have a good experience while you are away. I am working on starting a dog grooming business from my home, so I can adjust my schedule to be available for your pet. Your pet's normal schedule of feeding, walks, and medication administration is important, so I like to stick to that as closely as possible. I can stay overnight at your home if that is preferred, or I can come over early in the morning to take care of your pet. I will always leash walk your dog unless you give specific instructions for your dog's activity.

“Very professional! Would recommend to anyone looking for services for their pet! Treated Javi very well, and always felt safe and secure when she was walking Javi.”

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and currently I am a pug mom. My pug has been highly socialized at doggy daycare‘s both in New York and out of state. Dogs have free reign in my home and plenty of toys to play with. I work from home full-time, so your pup will have constant care while he or she is here. I try to go for a few walks every day and will take your pup with me. I have a very friendly pug at home, and your pup will have free reign in my house to explore. I work from home and I’m available for a potty breaks and outside play all day. My property is NOT FENCED IN, however I have a large private backyard and live on a dead-end street in a quiet neighborhood.

“Andre is always reliable and easy to interact with. He’s great at handling our 82 lb dog who likes to pull when he gets excited. We are always at ease knowing Andre is out walking our dog when we are far from home.”

“I can’t say enough wonderful things about Jacquelyn! She has gone above and beyond in caring for my elderly dog and cats, providing them with not just the essentials but genuine love and attention. From the very start, she has been incredibly kind, communicative, and dependable, always keeping me updated with messages and pictures that give me peace of mind. Caring for senior pets requires patience and extra effort, and Jacquelyn has shown both in abundance. Whether it’s taking extra time on walks, administering special care, or making sure my cats feel just as loved, she has exceeded all my expectations. It’s clear she truly cares about the well-being of the animals she looks after. I wholeheartedly recommend Jacquelyn.”

About: I've loved and cared for 11 family dogs and countless friends' dogs and cats since I was 12. I have a deep respect for animals and am very attentive to their signals and communication. I will absolutely adhere to your routines and ensure your pet is comfortable in my home and with me first and foremost. For me, pets are family, and I treat your babies as I would my own! My day always starts with coffee and my dogs. Your dog will receive 3 walks per day, minimum, and will be free to roam the lower level of my home, where I work from my home office. My dogs have their space upstairs in our main house, and my guests downstairs with me. This ensures I can attend to my boarders' needs immediately and help them get acclimated to a new environment with new smells. I have direct access to my backyard from my downstairs space and will keep your dog safely leashed when outside.

“Alexis was very punctual, respectful and caring of Bella’s time and needs. She took her time with her, getting to know her and eventually enjoying a walk together. Communication was a priority as well, as she kept us informed of what Bella was up to and how her walk went. Bella also seemed to enjoy her time with Alexis. Will definitely consider her again when in need of pet care. Thanks Alexis!”

During school holidays and long weekends, I’m usually home and happy to offer a safe, cozy place for your dog while you’re out visiting family or traveling. Please note I only host one dog at a time, or up to two dogs from the same household. When caring for pets, I prioritize their safety, comfort, and happiness. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, preferences, and specific needs (medication, feeding, anxiety triggers) and follow any instructions to maintain a consistent environment. On walks, I use a secure leash, follow your preferred route, and stay mindful of traffic, other animals, and surroundings to make it safe and enjoyable. In your home, I treat your space with respect, keep it tidy, and provide regular updates with photos and messages so you always know how your pet is doing. Your dog’s well-being is my top priority, and I strive to offer them love and care as if they were my own.

“Walfredo has been tremendous! He is reliable, responsive and our dog loves him. Walfredo keeps us informed of everything and is communicative ahead of time if there are any changes. I highly recommend Walfredo to anyone looking for dog walking and pet sitting services.”

About: I have had dogs and cats my entire life. I have dealt with kittens/puppies, adults and seniors. Gave meds, washed, groomed and trained them. Large dogs and pitbulls are my favorites. I also had a house rabbit for 9 years. My pets had long happy lives I have a part time job, so my schedule is flexible. With enough lead time, I can swap my shift and be available whenever I am needed. I can care for pets in their own home. The pets are happier and less stressed when they are at home. Pets should say home whenever possible.

About: I believe that life is better with dogs. I like to exercise with my pups, play fetch, cuddle and take a lot of pictures. I love all dogs but have a soft spot for huskys (my family dog is a Siberian Husky). I am located in Mahopac, NY. I’m currently unemployed and looking to use Rover as much as possible. There’s nothing like getting paid for doing something you love and have fun with. I treat someone else’s dog like my own. At my home, the pups are allowed to hang out with me on the couch, watch movies in bed and relax in the backyard. In someone’s home, The same applies. I will follow any guidelines and rules that are needed, to ensure a safe and fun environment.

About: My background in vet care and animal behavior helps me handle dogs of all sizes and energy levels. I’m confident with seniors, shy pups, and dogs that need medication. I give safe walks, follow your routine closely, and keep you updated with photos every visit. I’m home from college for winter break and have a very open schedule, so pet care fits easily into my day. I’m available mornings, afternoons, and evenings for walks, drop-ins, or longer visits. I plan my day around the pets I’m caring for, making sure they stay on their normal routine with consistent feeding, playtime, and walks. In a client’s home, I follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I handle feeding, walks, litter boxes, playtime, and any medications exactly as instructed. I keep the home tidy, respect your space, and make sure your pet feels safe and relaxed. I always provide photo updates and communicate after every visit.

About: I take pride in the impact I have on animals. My deep and tender care for them is unmatchable and it brings me so much joy to help them live their lives more easefully. I have done sporadic work my whole life with animals; having pets of my own, always being the one to volunteer to help neighbors, friends, and family, working on a farm, and even hosting class pets. In 2020, I started working for a pet service and was helping them walk dogs consistently, as well as occasional cat visits. The position felt really natural to me and I enjoyed the connections I made with the animals during that time. Erica pulled her business out of Philly and things shifted. Since then, I have helped families/friends with dog walks and cat visits. I am looking for something more consistent on Tuesdays! I have a reliable car and currently not willing to host any animals at my home. I’m currently working part-time and looking to add some pet care services to my schedule. Just a bonus day of work while being surrounded by fluff and love! When I take dogs on walks, I make sure to keep a tight grip on the leash and keep an eye out for other animals and walkers around. Locking up the doors to the client’s home when coming in and out is another safety concern I find important.

“Carolyn was so easy to communicate with and did a great job walking both of my frenchies. She even made sure that they had water after their walk. I will be reaching out to Carolyn in the near future.”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my genuine love for animals, paired with hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages and personalities. Whether it’s helping a high-energy puppy learn good habits or giving extra patience and comfort to senior pets, I tailor my care to meet each pet’s unique needs. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine—it’s something I truly enjoy and prioritize. I’ve structured my schedule to allow plenty of time for walks, feeding, play, and one-on-one attention. Whether I’m doing drop-in visits, walks, or pet sitting, I make sure each pet gets the consistent care and companionship they need. I create a safe, comfortable, and welcoming space where pets can relax and feel at ease. I provide plenty of supervised playtime, regular walks, and lots of love and attention throughout the day. I stick closely to each pet’s routine—including feeding schedules, crate time, medications, or special needs—so they feel right at home even while they’re away from theirs.
