“We are thrilled to be back with Ashley walking our dog Cagney after a two month break this winter. She is so kind and loving, patient and above all professional. She has also done a bit of training with him. Cagney gets so excited when the buzzer rings and runs to greet her. Definitely an asset to Rover!”
“We were very happy with Mandel After being screwed over by wag, he came over and saved the day. Athena looked like she got a good walk and Mandel took a lot of pictures to keep me updated. Definitely using him again!”
About: • I worked at the Howard beach animal clinic as a veterinary assistant where I assisted veterinarians with vaccine administration, blood draws, and wellness checks for both cats and dogs. I also learned how to administer medication to dogs/cats, give cpr to dogs specifically, handle hyperactive, anxious, and/or aggressive dogs/cats, and work with all kinds of breeds ranging from chihuahuas to Great Danes. • Before that, I gained experience working with dogs by volunteering at nyc pet services in Astoria, where I took care of many different kinds of dogs by supervising the area and ensuring all dogs were happy and safe. • My love for animals started with my golden Labrador and poodle at age 5, then at age 12 I got a Maltese whom I’ve grown up with and is now 16 years old. My experience not only includes dogs and cats of different breeds and sizes but also temperament, behavior, and personality. All of this experience has taught me how to read dogs and cats better, know when to approach sensitive dogs, and the best way to interact with said sensitive dogs. I can accept same day request due to my very flexible schedule, because of my flexible schedule I can focus on your pets happiness! I will have plenty of time to take them out on long walks for exercise, play time, and feedings. I love to spend time with dogs and cats, they truly make my day so much better! If it’s too hot out we can have play time indoors with some nice AC and play with some enrichment puzzles! I can assure your best friend will be in good hands and I’ll take care of them as if they were my own. I live in a pet friendly building, I’m on the first floor so your pets can enjoy jumping and running as much as they want! I have a park nearby where we can enjoy long walks and play time. A large living room that they can explore and take comfy naps. I can also make them tasty treats if you’d like! I have a small senior Maltese, she’s 16 years old and enjoys taking many naps but will still love to make new friends. She’s very chill due to her age so you can rest assured that your pups will be safe, but if you’d rather them be separated I have a divider that will ensure that! My priority is that both the owner and pup are comfortable and happy :)
About: What sets me apart as a sitter is my reliability, attention to detail, and hands-on experience working with animals. I’ve volunteered at Sean Casey Animal Rescue, where I helped care for dogs with different temperaments, energy levels, and backgrounds. That experience helped me develop a strong understanding of animal behavior and how to provide calm, patient, and compassionate care. In addition, I often take care of friends’ dogs when they travel or are away, so I’m used to maintaining routines like feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and making sure pets feel comfortable while their owners are gone. I’m especially attentive with young pets who need structure and positive reinforcement, and I’m also comfortable caring for senior dogs who may need slower walks, extra attention, or medication reminders. I prioritize safety, consistency, and keeping pets relaxed in their environment. I also make sure pet parents stay informed by sending regular updates and photos, so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is to make every pet feel secure and cared for, and every owner feel confident their companion is in good hands. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I have a flexible freelance schedule and currently no full-time job. This allows me to dedicate consistent time and attention to the pets I care for throughout the day. I’m able to plan my work around walks, drop-ins, feeding schedules, and playtime, making sure each pet gets reliable care and attention. Because of this flexibility, I’m also available for morning, midday, evening, and weekend visits when needed. My routine allows me to be dependable, responsive to pet parents, and fully focused on providing safe, attentive care for every pet. I provide attentive, reliable care that keeps pets comfortable and safe in their usual environment. In a client’s home, I follow the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible—feeding on schedule, providing fresh water, taking dogs on walks, cleaning up after them, and making sure they get plenty of playtime, exercise, and affection. I also monitor their behavior and well-being to ensure they are happy and healthy while you’re away. For drop-ins or walks, I make sure pets get the physical activity and attention they need, along with bathroom breaks and any specific care instructions you provide. I respect your home, keep things clean, and send regular updates and photos so you know your pet is doing well. My goal is to make pets feel safe, loved, and stress-free while giving owners peace of mind.
“Ocho loves Thoselin! She’s been very conscientious and reliable, and I trust her in my home and with my baby. Ocho can be anxious and hard to get outside, but she’s been flexible and, judging by the photos she sends, he has a great time with her!”
About: I’ve been a dedicated dog owner for 9+ years, caring for my French Bulldog through every stage of her life—from playful puppy to senior years—which taught me patience, attentiveness, and how to adapt to a dog’s changing needs. I now have a Cavapoo and love going through all the puppy milestones again, including basic training, routines, and socialization. I’m especially attentive to each dog’s personality, whether that means keeping up with an energetic pup or providing gentle, patient care for older dogs. I genuinely treat every dog like my own—making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I currently have a flexible schedule and am not working a traditional job, which allows me to dedicate focused time and attention to pet care. I’m starting with weekend availability so I can provide consistent, reliable care and ensure each pet gets my full attention. As I get established, I’m open to expanding my availability. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and can easily plan my week around their needs When caring for pets in their home, I prioritize their safety, comfort, and routine. I always do a quick check to make sure there are no hazards or anything unsafe within reach, and I follow the owner’s instructions closely to keep their routine consistent. I give pets time to warm up to me at their own pace, using a calm and patient approach to build trust. Once they’re comfortable, I make sure they get plenty of attention, play, and care based on their energy level and personality. I also provide regular updates with photos and messages so owners feel reassured and connected while they’re away
“I was away on vacation for 15 days. Melanie made every day stress free when it came to my Siberian husky. Blanco really enjoyed expecting her every day for walks and treats and he loves the little training she does with him too! Blanco and my cats fight for her attention all the time. <3 Although Blanco makes a mess on occasion Melanie is always happy to help out with that, which I really appreciate. As always, I am super grateful for you Melanie!!”

About: I am the go to person for my friends when they need someone to take care of their dog, so I thought why not expand my love!

My apartment has a large private patio with high walls so it is safe for your pup to run around and play but I also live down the block from a park for longer walks
“Amazing as always. My dog had a great time with her, and immediately chugged water when he got home from the walk. He hates drinking water! Glad he got some exercise, or at least as much as his little Chihuahua legs will allow him.”
“OMG like you’re the best!! Our dog loves you so much ? we will definitely keep in touch when we travel again, plus Baxter Met so much new friends!! Thank you again for being a really great walker for him!”
“I can’t reccomend Carly enough. I know that our pup is in good hands with her whenever we’re not home. She’s punctual, accommodating and most of all has excellent experience caring for and loving all dogs. If you leave your little one with Carly, they’re in great hands!”
“If you haven’t booked Irene yet I’d suggest you do so. She’s amazing and it’s clear she absolutely loves animals! She was so awesome with Stoney. Stoney is super energetic and tends to pull on walks. Thanks for your patience! I would absolutely book with her again!!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - South Richmond Hill
William was excellent with our dog Coco. Coco was quite nervous and apprehensive at first but William knew exactly what to do to make Coco feel better. And coco really enjoyed his walks with William. We will definitely be asking William to walk Coco in the future.
We are thrilled to be back with Ashley walking our dog Cagney after a two month break this winter. She is so kind and loving, patient and above all professional. She has also done a bit of training with him. Cagney gets so excited when the buzzer rings and runs to greet her. Definitely an asset to Rover!
We had a great experience with Julian watching Hazel, our Shih Tzu mix, and Louis, our Nebelung cat, for 10 days. He provided drop ins and walks and kept us updated throughout the trip with great communication and lots of photos, which we really appreciated. He was reliable and handled situations that came up during our time away, which gave us peace of mind. When we got home, both pets seemed happy, content, and very well cared for… Hazel even wanted to go with him when he returned our keys! Our home was also left pretty much exactly how we left it. We’re very thankful for the care he gave our pets and would absolutely book with him again.
Diana is wonderful. When we first met her, she took the time to meet our dog Cagney before starting to walk him, gaining his confidence (Cagney is a "Velcro" dog who spends a lot of time at home with my husband) and assessing our dog's needs as well as ours. She is patient, kind and professional. She is punctual, and communicates regularly with us if any changes need to be made. She is a big help to us since we can't always walk Cagney. Cagney looks forward to seeing her and she updates us on his progress during his walks as he becomes more accustomed to being with her. Five stars and much thanks to Diana!

Every walker on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have.

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in South Richmond Hill. On Rover:
- 87% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
