“It was a pleasure to have Rose walk our dog on the Easter holiday! Rose came for a meet & greet .... and quickly made friends with our dog. She came on time, followed all my written directions, sent pictures.... and properly locked up. It was so great to know our dog was cared for and we could enjoy the holiday with family.”


“Ashley was incredible during the short time she walked my dog. She is such an animal lover and is overall a sweet person. My dog was a little hesitant with her at first but Ashley was extremely patient and persistent. Her communication is above and beyond that you will never worry how your pet is doing. I look forward to working with her again in the future!”


About: I had a dog for 14 years who just recently unfortunately passed away. Having a furry friend in my life made such a huge impact on me and I love caring for them. I grew up not only having a dog, but pet sitting for many people in my community. I would love to care for your pets as it brings you peace and comfort and it is a joy for me to do so. I’ve been a dedicated pet sitter on Rover for over 3 years with 5-star reviews and plenty of repeat clients. I’m excited to be moving to Poughkeepsie, NY and am now accepting new clients in the area! I treat every pet like family and prioritize clear communication, reliability, and lots of love. Looking forward to meeting your furry best friend! I just graduated college so I will be working on rover full time and will be home all days of the week with your pet! I am moving into a new apartment which is dog friendly with a nice dog park downstairs. I will be doing rover full time and whatever your needs may be I will obtain them:)

“Paul was great very attentive. I have an older dog and he has arthritis, Paul let me know right away the day my dog was limping a little. very sweet guy great with my dog!!! Thank you”


“My dogs LOVE Bradley. He’s been so helpful to my family and I - always showing up on time and even helping us out last minute - I cannot say enough good things about him and would highly recommend him to anyone !”


“Stefanie was wonderful with our two dogs. The little one can be a handful, especially when she’s on a walk with the bigger one, but Stefanie was a total pro and was able to keep both our pups safe and happy! She was very easy to work with and I’d highly recommend her.”


“Mario was absolutely amazing! He kept me updated with lots of texts and photos while he walked Osito. And Osito loved him so much. I felt like my pup was not only in good hands but that he got to have a really fun time with Mario! Highly recommend.”

“We needed a dog walker on extremely short notice, and Danielle truly came through for us. She was wonderful—kind, accommodating, and professional.

About: I had two felines for over 15 years but they recently passed away. They were my best friends, but they hated dogs, which brought me to Rover. I love dogs big and small, from german shepherds to a Maltese, I have never had the living situation to have one. I understand the importance of a routine in a dog's life and want to make them as comfortable as possible, especially when their human is not around. I love taking them out to play in the park or snuggling on the couch. Depending on the dog's needs I will take them for a short or long walk. We will make a plan catered to your specific pet. I have experience with giving medicine. I have experience with walking, overnight care, and in-home pups. I've always wanted a dog, let me give yours all the love I have to share. I have a flexible schedule and keep my rover calendar updated! I am an early riser and like to get moving so if you need morning help I am happy to do so. I try not to be out super late so unless I am doing an overnight the latest I'd do a visit it 9pm-10pm. Unfortunately, I can no longer offer home care in my house. For pet parents, I will arrive within the designated time, greet the pet with a warm hello, check the water to make sure it is clean and full, check the food to confirm the amount eaten, take the puppy outside to relieve itself, and/or change the puppy pad if required. Give the dog some good scratches and pats and maybe a treat if available. If the dog wants to play tug-o-war or fetch I'll do some of that too. I would like to tailor the visit to the dog's routine, so as not to cause any undue stress.

“Angie was amazing! She agreed to a meet and greet to "get to know" both us and our dogs. She attentively listened to our instructions on how to care for them, where to walk them, and what their personalities were like. She was on time, and provided their walk with professionalism.”


About: For the past 10 years, I've been lucky enough to have an amazing dog in my life. I've watched him grow from the tiniest puppy into a grouchy yet snuggly old man. Keeping him safe, satisfied, and healthy have been priorities whether that meant walking in the rain or making him a hot meal. He is without a doubt one of the most important parts of my life. I understand what it is to place your trust and your pet in someone else’s hands. As a sitter/walker, I would treat your dog as one of my own. I’ve worked with seniors and puppies, walked, played, and trained with them. All animals come with a story; whatever health, safety, and behavioral information you share would be respected and observed. I look forward to meeting you and making sure that your furry loved one gets the attention and services they deserve! As someone who works primarily from home, I have the flexibility to prioritize my dog’s care throughout the day. He gets a minimum of a 1.5-mile walk every single day, rain or shine, and always enjoys a hot meal made with a special mix of healthy, human-grade ingredients added to his kibble—because I believe that quality food equals a happier, healthier pup. I also make sure he has a yard break every 2-3 hours, along with two medium to long walks daily to keep him active and engaged. My routine is built around making sure my dog’s needs are met consistently, and I approach all my pet care with the same level of attention and dedication. Whether it's a regular walk, a healthy meal, or a quick yard break, I ensure that my pets are always well taken care of, just like I would treat your own furry friend! When it comes to dog walking, safety and trust are my top priorities. I’ve learned to anticipate potential issues, whether it’s a skateboarder coming around a corner or a squirrel teasing from the street, ensuring that any situation is handled before it becomes a problem. By understanding an animal’s triggers, I can make every walk a positive, stimulating experience while maintaining control of the leash at all times. For home sitting, whether it’s a dog or cat, I take care to respect the space—both for the animal and the owner’s peace of mind. I always follow the house rules and make sure any specific needs or routines for your pet are respected. Trust is key, and I’m committed to providing a safe, comfortable environment for both you and your furry family member.

“Shanea is always great—punctual, communicative, and accommodating. I highly recommend her! She's the first walker we've had in a veeeeeery long time who's consistently available on short notice, incredibly easygoing, and truly attentive to our dog's needs. We're so grateful to have found her! 😊”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was about 12 years old and moved in with my dad. He had two red nose pitbulls who I loved and adored. I would play for hours and pet for hours. I would be the one responsible for their walking, feeding, and hygiene (baths, nail cutting, ear cleaning) and I genuinely enjoyed it. My grandparents had a Pomeranian for some years prior, and I would every weekend ask to go and see the dog. I loved him and he loved me, he would jump so high every time I walked through the door! I taught him how to do “paw”, roll over, and many more tricks. When I reached a driving age, my grandparents asked me if I would care for him while they were out of town, which was often. I would either stop in 4x a day for potty breaks and food checks or pick him up and bring him for a car ride and long walks(weather permitting) with a nice treat after. I currently work full time, and am available to care for your pet(s) Fridays after 6pm-Sunday night, perfect for pet parents who planned a weekend getaway! I will treat your pet as if they were my own. I talk to them, I give them endless lovin’. I am very observant and take note of what they do/do not like, to avoid upsetting them. Even things like if they were needing to be brushed, have their eyes/ears wiped, I will do it without issue because I would do the same if it were my pet.

About: I work for 2 local school districts and am a true animal lover. I am very respectful, responsible and dependable. My friends and family have always come to me for help and advice regarding their fur babies. I’ve taken care of my own and others loves for over 34 years. I’m looking forward to helping you and your family! With what I do for a living I have lots of down time where I am able to care my time with the fur babies . I will follow exactly how you want your fur babies to be taken care of in your home. Over the years I have learned that it is stressful to move your pet when you vacation or have to go for work. The babies seem to do much better in their normal environment . I will also provide the extra love, kisses and belly rubs . I do need to mention that I will watch your home and take care of the fur babies needs but I do not sleep at my clients homes.

About: I owner trained my service dog. I’ve fostered countless dogs. I truly love dogs more than people. We don’t deserve dogs for all the amazing things they do for us. I own my own business so my availability is very flexible and I’m always with my pups and my cats! I’m off Monday’s, Tuesday’s and Wednesday’s. I have a big yard. We have multiple leads in our yard. We also have two dog friendly dogs! In addition to a toddler who loves pups too

About: I have shared a deep and meaningful connection with animals (my own pets and those of loved ones) since I was a child. My intention is for your pet to feel their healthiest, and for your own peace of mind. I am working part time and I am available to care for your pet's needs. I am available for drop-ins, and dog walking as well! I care for your pets in the comfort of their own environment. My drop-in service offers in-home care, as well as dog walking in the area they feel most comfortable in.


About: I’ve taken care of multiple different animals. From house sitting the nervous puppies to long happy walks and happy play and training. Experience with providing insulin. I’m currently working on a shifty schedule. Weekends are more solid but I can cater to any schedule needed. Will hopefully be on a fixed schedule. I will be very careful with fenced yards. I am very mindful and trained with different harnesses and leashes. I make sure everything stays neat and organized as best in my capacity.

About: Full time paramedic, taking online classes and looking for other ways to pay for those classes. I have plenty experience with animals and am very flexible, I’ve taken care of dogs from 7 months-end of age. I have worked alongside dog trainers and can fulfill special requests from the owner if needed. Specific training may be subject to price increase. I can house sit, host, day visit, or just walk. I can house sit/visit cats, but unable to host them. I can handle multiple pets simultaneously if needed; other experience includes terrarium based pets, hamsters, and birds. Availability can vary, my current days for any service is Tuesday-Thursday( all hours) and varying Sundays(all hours). I currently live in a house with a well kept yard and no pets. I do not use any toxic chemical sprays for insects, nor do I have any potentially harmful scent products (candles, incense, oils, etc.) Any questions fell free to reach out via call or text!

Spackenkill dog parents share their Rover experiences
Emma was wonderful! I needed a dog walker at the last minute when my usual walker was out of town. She did a fabulous job - Watson loved her - and I’m sorry she’ll be graduating and leaving the area. But wish her all the best on her adventures and hope others get to benefit from her love of animals!
