About: Hi! I'm Jewel, a dedicated animal lover who truly enjoys caring for pets of all kinds. I love both cats and dogs-friendly, playful cats and all dog breeds are welcome! Animals naturally gravitate toward me, and I take pride in making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I have hands-on experience with many types of dogs, including reactive, friendly, and senior dogs. I've owned Chihuahuas, a Blue Heeler named Ava, and I currently have my own puppy, Romeo. My experience has helped me understand different temperaments, energy levels, and care needs. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, in-home sitting, and overnight stays. For social dogs, I can also bring my puppy along for companionship-with your approval. Your pet's safety, happiness, and routine are always my top priority. I genuinely love what I do, and I treat every pet like family. You can count on me to provide reliable, attentive, and loving care. I look forward to meeting you and your fur baby! I am currently working full-time from the comfort of my home, giving me maximum flexibility all days of the week and weekends to care for your pets. Sometimes I may just need to bring my computer or iPad along with me to stay on top of work. I have wide open availability ! Safety is my absolute number one priority! I hold a professional security license, as well as official certifications in pet CPR and First Aid, so you can rest assured that your beloved pets are in highly trained, capable hands. For in-home visits, I love working directly from your environment because it keeps your animals comfortable, stress-free, and in their familiar routine. I always treat your home with the utmost respect, care, and cleanliness while keeping your furry family members perfectly safe and sound
“I am very happy with Carolina. I have two very different dogs. One is high energy and very dominant while the other one is very timid. She handled both for the very well. I would definitely recommend her.”
“Laura is awesome with my dog Samson. He looks forward to seeing her and loves his walks! Laura is extremely timely and dependable which I need because I have a little one. I recommend her services to anyone!”
About: I’ve been a dog mom for more than 15 years of my life. I have a small senior dog who gets along with everyone. We love having other dogs hang out with us. I’m very active and enjoy taking dogs for all kind of fun walks. I currently work from home 3 days a week and spend lots of weekends at home taking care of my senior dog. I am the go to person with all my friends and family when it comes to pet care. My senior dog spends much of his time in a giant play pen sleeping in our apartment. We still make it out for 3 walks a day. My apartment is very pet friendly.
“Alexis is so sweet and patient with my dog Frank and his needs. He’s an older dog and very quirky but she’s so gentle with him and goes above and beyond. So glad she’s his dog walker!”
“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: Im reliable, communicative and caring! I try my best to accommodate every owner as a pet owner myself. I have had dogs, cats and even reptiles. I work from 8-4PM and my husband who will be assisting me works from home. Located in Woodhaven Queens I work Monday through Friday from 8-4PM. My husband works from home and helps me if I ever need anything. I’m available up to 3 times per day and can adjust based on preference. For in home visits I can check in every 6-8 hours for any owners traveling. I include pictures, videos , and updates to share all the details of our visit. I’m very easy to communicate with and am willing to adjust to your needs and expectations!
“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!”
“Once again Melanie was amazing with Daisy! She is a great communicator and very thorough. I felt at ease leaving Daisy in her hands. I know she is someone i can trust and will continue using 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
“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!”
“Catalina is so excellent and took such great care of our Kevin! Our senior frenchie needed to be let out to go potty in the middle of a longer day alone. He usually only goes outside for a few moments to eliminate and rushes to go back inside, but Catalina made sure he had a little midday adventure! So much more than we expected and it was so comforting to know our little guy had a bit of fun! She arrived right on time and sent many pictures and updates! So cute! Thank you, Catalina!!!”
About: I’ve had pets my whole life and taken care of other people animals as well (: I’m very pet friendly have a few rescue animals myself I’m currently a stay at home mom but my son is enrolled at school and I’m looking for a way to mix my hobbies into a profession I have one dog friendly cat and one cat friendly dog. Both are very well trained and maintain a pretty funny dynamic between the two (:
“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!”
“I feel very fortunate to have Tedy to care, walk and entertain my Jack Russell when I am working. She has been taking care of my dog consistently for close to 4 months and it feels like family. She keeps me informed of everything so I don’t have any worries. Tedy will be excellent at any and everything she does and I have complete confidence anyone would say the same.”
“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.”
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.
“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
Heidi was wonderful with my dog, Rocco! This was his first time walking with her, and she made me feel very comfortable. She kept me updated, sent several photos during the walk. Rocco was excited to see her and seemed happy and relaxed with her. She is kind, professional, and clearly cares about the dogs she walks. I will definitely book Heidi again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker!
Hillary is amazing! I accidentally gave the wrong address because I just moved and didn’t realize I hadn’t updated my profile, and she was so understanding and went to the second location anyway. I am so grateful! She was very communicative before and during, and I’m so thankful she was able to help me with my pup !
Tedy has been walking our dog Willa regularly over the last few months and doing a great job! Tedy is respectful of our space, gives us full reviews of the walk (with great photos), and is easy to communicate with! We appreciate Tedy’s scheduling flexibility as well. We will continue to use Tedy as our regular walker!
Dongju is absolutely amazing! She is caring, patient, loving, and, most importantly, trustworthy. She took wonderful care of my dogs and gave me complete peace of mind. I would recommend her to everyone I know without hesitation. If you're looking for someone reliable who truly loves animals, Dongju is the perfect choice!
Nusta has been absolutely amazing, and I can’t recommend her enough! She’s incredibly responsive, reliable, and always communicates so well. Patsy absolutely loves her, which gives me so much peace of mind every time they’re together. One thing I really appreciate is how accommodating she is—whenever I need an extra walk, she’s always willing to help if she’s available. She’s consistently respectful, kind, and clearly cares about the dogs she looks after. It’s obvious she genuinely enjoys what she does, and that shows in the way she treats Patsy. We’re so grateful to have found her!
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!

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your South Richmond Hill. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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.
