About: Hi! I’m Maydalis — a lifelong dog lover with over 20 years of experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I’ve walked and watched dogs for friends and family while they were on vacation, and I also volunteered at the Pleasantville Animal Shelter, where I enjoyed socializing and walking the dogs. I have two dogs of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy and loving to care for your pets. I currently work a full time job Mon-Fri 9-5pm. I am available for walks or to stop by your home on weekends at any time and on weekday evenings after 5pm. The safety of your pet is my #1 priority while also making sure your pet enjoys our walk. I can go to your home and feed your pet's and/or let your pet's out for bathroom breaks.

“James and his sweet family took excellent care of Maggie! I have never left her except with a friend who knows her well. That now will change as I feel so confident she was well cared for as the many pictures sent and neighbors commenting! One neighbor saw James wiping her paws before coming into the house! How awesome is James!!! ❤️”


About: Dogs and I get along very well. I’ve had dogs all my life, and I have been responsible for their care and training throughout their lives. I have also gotten a lot of experience doing photography with dogs, which can be difficult, and I worked at green leaf pet resort taking care of dogs in a laid back but structured environment. I love taking care of dogs, and as I am not in a position to own a dog currently due to my living situation, I would happily share my love of animals with your dogs, seeing that all their needs are met, and that they are truly living their best life. Please reach out to me if you want someone who will truly put your dogs needs first. Thank you My schedule is flexible but requires creativity. I am always happy to find time to take care of someone’s pups. I love dogs more than jobs Generally dogs get along with me immediately, but for any who require a gentle touch or are nervous, I take the time to show them that I’m a caring friend.

About: I've taken care of dogs of all sizes and personalities, from playful puppies to calm seniors. Since I was 10, friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their pets. I’m attentive, responsible, and always make sure each dog feels safe, happy, and loved. I work full-time starting at 5 PM, so I’m fully available during the day for walks, drop-ins, or daytime boarding. I'm also available on weekends and holidays depending on your needs. I don’t currently have pets at home, so your dog will have my full attention. I can care for pets in your home or mine, and I'm comfortable with crates if needed.

About: Seeing a dog can turn the worst day into a happy one! Shared responsibilities with our family golden retriever for duration of his life, and I love making them feel appreciated, cared for, and satisfied with all of the attention and pets they want! I’ve been known to get our dogs to take their medicine in creative ways! Dogs big and small are welcomed! I’m a full time elementary school teacher, so I have a consistent schedule and availability during most holidays, breaks, and weekends outside of weekday afternoons. Depending on location, first visits can be done starting at 4pm any given day. Stopping by to see your loved ones after a long work day would be my pleasure! Due to my job as a teacher, my Friday boarding availability begins at 4:30pm until summer unless noted below: With our home recently pet-free, we have the ability to board animals in our home. We live near a dog park, a great walking trail, and a chance to board multiple pets at once if needed. During drop in visits, I can be quick and efficient, or spend time playing, walking, or making sure your friends are set up perfectly while they’re home alone. However your pet would like to be interacted with works for me! I can also offer litter box scooping for cats or helping give medications orally for cats or dogs.

Most likely, they will be in the client’s home, meaning I can take care of them as similarly as possible to how you do!

“Elizabeth was my first rover sitter and I was so so impressed. She came over A-day early to meet my animals because my dog can sometimes be difficult around new people. Very patient and loving with him and when she did her drop in she would send me loads of photos videos and a written report on what happened during the visit. She was amazing with my rat Zin and the kitties and her videos always made me laugh. She was a previous vet tech at my vet so I felt very reassured of my zoos care of something should happen. She is wonderful and I had such peace of mind leaving my animals in her care. 15/10 stars”

Marlee B.
“Marlee has been a pet caregiver for my almost 4 year old cat, Zeke, on multiple occasions. She is a true animal lover! Very caring and considerate. She will treat your pet like one of her own. She has gone above and beyond for Zeke! I highly recommend her to other pet parents that need either a short visit or 2, or even an extended stay. Thank you, Marlee, for your kindness and dedication to our furry friends!!”


Maydalis M.
“I wholeheartedly recommend Maydalis as a dog walker and pet sitter. She has taken care of my dog on several occasions, and each time she has gone above and beyond. Not only is she incredibly reliable and punctual, but she also has a calm, kind energy that animals really respond to. My dog can be a little shy at first, but he immediately warmed up to her and was always excited to see her after that first walk. What really stood out to me was how attentive and communicative she was. She always kept me updated with how the walk went, shared photos, and even let me know if she noticed anything unusual with my dog’s behavior or health. It gave me real peace of mind knowing my dog was in such capable and caring hands. Maydalis is responsible, trustworthy, and genuinely cares about the pets she works with. I wouldn’t hesitate to leave my dog in her care again, and I truly believe any pet owner would be lucky to have her on their team.”

Joseph A.
“I have known Joey for over 15 years, and he is a wonderful, compassionate, hard-working human. He has provided excellent care when boarding my high energy, 80 pound fur baby. I am always cautious when booking care for my dog because he has a habit of getting into stuff when he is bored, which can be destructive or dangerous. When my dog was boarded with Joey, I knew he would be kept safe! Joey walked him regularly, kept him safe, and made him feel right at home with snuggles. He was happy to provide an update whenever I was missing my pup and he sent plenty of pictures! I absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their pup. I would absolutely board my dog with him again.”


Sydney T.
“Sydney has taken care of our now 5 year old Australian Shepherd since we brought him home as a puppy! She is very caring and responsive. Our dog looks forward to her arrival!!”


Mahek P.
“Every single time Mahek sees a pet she automatically tries to see if she can pet them. She is a genuine animal lover through and through. She has dog sit for me on multiple ocassions before, and every time she puts in so much effort to make sure my pup is happy and active. Sometimes I think my dog likes her more than me! But I love her dearly and I would trust her with my pet anyday and you guys should too!”
