About: I take pride in my work and strive to treat each and every animal I care for as I would my own personal pets. I personally understand how difficult it can be to trust someone with your furry family members and do my best to make the experience as amazing as possible for both pets and pet parents. I have worked in the pet care industry for over ten years now. I began dog walking in NYC, then managed a luxury boarding/daycare facility for dogs in East Syracuse. Since then I have also branched out into working in animal rescue as well. I also am currently pursuing a certification in dog training. I currently work for myself so my hours are flexible. I can accommodate dog walking most mornings, afternoons and nights. I currently offer in home boarding but limit it to three dogs per night to ensure the best quality of care. I understand that allowing someone into your home to care for your pet can be nerve racking, so I strive to be as mindful of this as possible. Some of the ways I ensure I do this are by speaking with the client before hand to go over anything specific they need done, entering the home in a safe and respectful manner, greeting the pet I'm caring for with enthusiasm, creating a bond with them & making the experience as fun and stress free as possible.

About: Super flexible schedule! located in Goshen, NY. ** I have experience with reactive dogs, 100+ lb dogs, and a specialty in small animals incl. rabbits, birds, guinea pigs & more ** Whether your pet is in need of a walk, medication or feeding routine, time at home, assistance to their special needs, or checking on their wellbeing, I will ensure your babies get everything they need with a stress-free experience! I would be more than happy to help with pet sitting or dog walking, no matter your pet’s size or age. ♡ I have fully open and flexible availability. I’m able to dog walk and do home drop-ins in Orange County. I can usually squeeze in last minute bookings. If owner would like to opt-in for photos, I’d be more than happy to take some photos of your pet and send them over to you!

“Maddy was excellent! I booked her as a walker when I was in a pickle last minute, she is very kind and quick to respond. She also makes the extra effort to make sure your fur baby is taken care of, the way I, as an owner would want. Definitely would recommend!”

About: I have personal experience with two dogs (Sunny and Roland) and a cat (Loki). Additionally, I have taken care of the pets of family and friends for years without complaint. I have worked as a dog sitter/walker for over 5 years now, and 3 of those on Rover. Unless my employment status changes, I am available 24/7 over summer, winter, fall, and spring breaks. My time is also very flexible and I don’t mind if I need to work at odd hours. I try to be as gentle and friendly as possible towards pets and will do more than the bare minimum when it comes to exercise and entertainment. I also have experience with cleaning up all kinds of potential messes.

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Shannon and Justin have been absolutely wonderful with our puppy, Aria! They are reliable, communicative, and clearly care so much about the dogs they look after. We always feel at ease knowing Aria is in such good hands. She gets plenty of attention, playtime, and care during their visits, and they give us great updates each time. It’s such a relief to know we can trust them when we’re at work or away. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for dependable and loving pet sitters!”

About: I have life long experience taking care of dogs, between my own personal dogs, to my siblings dogs as well as close friends and family. I have this connection with animals that I can't describe which makes me the favorite uncle amongst my furry nieces and nephews. I have experience training my own dogs and my siblings dogs as well in the past. I also have experience with elderly dogs. I have a full and open schedule during the week and I am flexible with time. The weekends can be discussed further upon request of service. We are currently set up for only walks and visits. so care for pets will be at client residence to ensure they fell safe in their environment

“Tessa takes great care of my rescue dog, Glen, who can be a handful at times. When I come home he is way more relaxed than stressed, and this is a credit to Tessa. I am fortunate and grateful that she is able to take care of him.”

About: I grew up on a dairy farm with all sorts of animals around. I have had many dogs, cats, parrots, chickens, rabbits, rats, and horses over the years. I have a degree in Equestrian Science and have taken care of animals my entire adult life. I have always been an avid hiker as well and love to take the pups on walks around the area. I currently own 3 dogs, a parrot, and 2 chickens and will give your animals the same love and attention that I give my own! I'm currently working part time and so have plenty of time to play with your fur babies. I am currently available for house sitting, drop in visits and dog walking. If your dogs get along with mine I might be able to do boarding as well. I have a dog door at my house with a fenced in yard along with 5 acres of fields to walk in. When coming to your home, I use my deep knowlege of dogs, cats, and other animals to keep your animals happy in their own home where your pets are MOST comfortable. They have the comfort of knowing they are safe in a place where they can learn to trust me and we can develop a bond so I can give your pets the same level of love and care as I would give my own pets.

“Julia was terrific! She showed up for a last minute request. She was friendly, prompt and flexible. My dog was very comfortable with her at the outset. I was so impressed that since she needed to address something at home she offered to take my dog with her rather than give me less than the full hour walk.”

Marcy R.

“My first time trying Rover and it was a great experience. Erika took great care of my pups while I was away. I highly recommend her and I will use her again.”

About: I’ve spent over a decade helping dogs and the people who love them build better relationships. My background includes professional dog training, developing an animal-assisted intervention program in a special education school, working with therapy dog teams, supporting rescue dogs, and educating handlers using positive reinforcement methods. As a former teacher, I bring patience, observation, and a thoughtful approach to every dog I care for. I believe every dog is an individual, and I take the time to understand their personality, communication style, comfort level, and what motivates them. Whether I’m taking your dog for a walk or stopping by for a visit, my focus is on more than just exercise. I pay close attention to body language and stress signals while providing enrichment, safe exploration, and positive interactions tailored to your dog’s needs. I love giving dogs the opportunity to sniff, explore, and enjoy the world while building confidence and trust. I have experience with puppies, adolescent dogs, senior dogs, and rescue dogs adjusting to new homes. I incorporate positive reinforcement principles, including concepts from Puppy Culture, to help puppies develop confidence, healthy habits, and a strong foundation. For dogs who enjoy adventure, I’m also happy to offer longer enrichment walks or easy hikes on dog-friendly trails (with owner approval). These outings are a great way for active dogs to get additional physical and mental enrichment while exploring safely at their own pace. As a dog owner myself, I understand that your dog is family. My goal is to provide the same thoughtful, reliable care, communication, and attention that I would want for my own dogs. I also have experience caring for cats, including living with a senior cat, and I understand that cats often need a different approach than dogs. I’m happy to provide thoughtful care while respecting their individual personalities and boundaries. Every visit/ walk, you will get text updates and photos. As a pet mom myself, it always puts me at ease to see a happy picture while in the care of a trusted sitter or walker. I’m looking forward to meeting your furry family members! Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions! ☺️ I currently offer walks/ hikes Mondays & Wednesdays: 9:45-12:30 Fridays: 9:45-11:15 I can do check-ins and occasional walks on scheduled weekends and evenings as well. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I believe every dog and cat is an individual, and I take the time to understand their routines, body language, personality, and needs before providing care. For walks and drop-in visits, I follow your instructions closely and maintain a safe, calm environment for your pet. I use thoughtful handling practices, pay attention to stress signals, and make decisions based on what is best for each individual animal. I always make sure they have fresh water upon return from our walk, and during check-in visits. As a longtime pet owner with dogs and a senior cat of my own, I understand how important it is to trust someone with a member of your family. I treat each home and pet with respect, provide reliable communication, and will always prioritize your pet’s well-being.

“Thank you for caring for Buster !”

About: As a lifelong animal lover, I have multiple years experience caring for dogs, cats, pocketpets, rabbits, fish, parakeets, reptiles and chickens. I also have experience providing care in a rabbit/cat/small animal rescue and in stables so I am very well rounded when it comes to all manner of pet care. I am comfortable walking, feeding, playing, etc. Currently my schedule is generally Monday-Friday 8:00am-5:00pm with a bit of leeway here and there. I can do walks and drop ins on evenings and weekends. Knowing what your pet needs in advance makes it easier for me to set my upcoming schedule to accommodate them. And as an added bonus when it comes to working from home: House sitting is a breeze! I am able to give tons of attention during the work day and use my breaks to take pups out for walks and play time. For my own pets I have two cats and guinea pigs. The guinea pigs have a large cage in my spare room/office and there is plenty of room to board other pocket pets if need be. For other people's pets I will absolutely treat them with the same care and attention as my own. I understand that each pet and family is different so I will use your guidance and details to know exactly what your pet needs to make them happy and comfortable!

“Natisha is a very rare find. If you’re wondering whether to book her or not do yourself and your fur babies a favor and just do it. We are two medical professionals and our schedules suddenly overlapped in a way that our bully girl needed someone to take care of her twice a week in the middle of the day. Natisha to the rescue! So responsive, so responsible, so punctual, so loving and caring to our girl! Now we’ve permanently retained her twice a week. Five stars isn’t enough stars for Natisha’s service.”

“Amy is Fantastic! She is very reliable and always prompt to respond. I had complete confidence in leaving our dog in her care. Highly recommend.”
