About: I have tons of experience, I love to see pets at their happiest and enjoying their life. I love to help people and make sure they have the best experience possible. I am currently working part time so I have tons of free time all week and on weekends. I'm at home most of the time and would love to keep your pup company. I have a dog of my own to keep your pup company, I give all pets the love they deserve! My yard is not fenced in, so I will walk dogs around my yard on a leash, and around my neighborhood.
About: Ever since I was a kid I have been taking care of pets. From fish, to hermit crabs, to birds, to hamsters, to cats, to dogs, I have a lot of experience when it comes to taking care of animals. I have about 2 years of dog sitting experience under my belt, and I make it a priority to leave a home nice and in order. I am willing to walk dogs, care for cats, and watch your house while you're away. I am available 7 days a week to care for your pets. I will be working as a full-time sitter for the summer so just check the calendar and reach out! As a sitter, I will ensure that your pet is well fed, well loved, and well taken care of. I am flexible to you and your pet's needs.
About: While in high school in New York, I volunteered at the Greenburgh Nature Center and the Humane Society of Westchester. My family also has our own dog, who we've owned for almost 3 years. I usually handle most of his care during the day, including feeding, walks, and play/exercise! I'm also good at caring for a home, and I'm very meticulous about cleaning. I'm currently free all day, any day! I am currently unemployed, so I'll be able to dedicate as much time as possible to your fur babies! I will discuss your pets' needs beforehand to make sure I can provide them with the best possible care. Every pet is different! That's why learning their preferences, behaviors, and needs is very, very important to me. When it comes to caring for the home, I will need to know any of your preferences, locations of cleaning supplies, and whether or not you have a particular way you want things done. I'll also need to know what to do/who to contact in case of an emergency.
“Cassidy is an AMAZING walker for my Millie girl! She gives her all the love and I trust she’s in capable hands every day for her midday walk. Millie can be a bit of a puller/barker on walks and Cassidy handles her perfectly. She is a great communicator with anything going on (even random repair people showing up at my house). I so much appreciate the love she shows my baby.”
“Maria is fantastic. This was my first time working with her and she went above and beyond to reassure me that my dog was well taken care of. Not only was she flexible with my schedule, she was also very proactive - making the process seamless. I felt completely comfortable leaving my dog in her care and I will definitely be doing it again.”
“Sandra was so great with Luna on their walks from the very first walk. She was excited to see Sandra each time she showed up to help me during a tough time when I couldn't walk her! Thanks so much Sandra!”
About: I was working in a Dog daycare for 5 years before I started my own business. In that time I also received my dog training certificate. I have worked with puppies all the way up to senior dogs in my time working with animals. Pet care is my full time job. All I need are the days you're looking for and I can add you onto my schedule. I also offer limited services on the weekends I travel to my clients for the services requested. Depending on the set up of the clients house determines how I go about looking after the animal. I always request that vet information be readily available just incase anything happens and I generally like to meet the animal first to make sure they are comfortable with me before I commit to working with them.
About: I have a lifelong passion for animals, backed by professional experience and education. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Veterinary Medical Technology and have worked in a small animal clinic for two years, where I gained hands-on experience. My background also includes two years at a pet store and a history of caring for family and friends' pets. This professional experience has given me confidence in handling various tasks, from giving medications to performing nail trims. While I'm comfortable with all types of animals, I have a special affinity for cats, as I have two of my own. Good news for your furry friends! I work remotely Tuesday through Friday, 8 AM - 4 PM, so I'm readily available during the day to cater to your pets' needs, including walks, playtime, and feeding. If it suits your needs, I can even work directly from your home. Mondays are my in-office days, so my availability is more restricted, but we can definitely discuss arrangements beforehand. Rest assured, I have complete availability after 4 PM on weekdays and all day on weekends. New to Rover?

I will care for them as if they are my own and would enjoy getting to know them. I will follow any special instructions given to a T.
About: I have been an animal lover all of my life, and was raised with 5 huskies. Since then, I’ve had a variety of animals, including a salamander, chinchillas, ferrets, dogs, cats, and hamsters. I'm looking for clients who will not mind if my son tags along for a visit or a walk, and an excuse to get us both out of the house (walking is a bonus!). I have experience working as a dog trainer with shelter and rescue dogs, so difficult behaviors are no issue! I would love to take care of your fur babies as if they were my own! I currently work 3 days a week and have availability Fridays thru Mondays to help care for your critters while you take weekend getaways :) I treat a client’s home with respect, and do my very best follow routines as closely to what you do as I can. My goal is to provide safe, secure care thag you can rely on.
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and was put in charge of feeding them and letting them out at a young age. I also have plenty of experience cleaning up accidents in the house from the years that they were puppies and from other dog sitting I have done. This is most likely going to be my main job over the summer, so I’m free almost anytime to dog sit or walk! My preferred days would be Saturday, Sunday, Tuesday, and Thursday. At home, I feed our two dogs every night and let them out immediately after on leashes since we don’t have a fence. Every time we let them out we give them treats to reward them for going outside. I also have a cat that is my responsibility to take care of, so I feed her, scoop her litter box, clean out the litter box, and of course play with her!
“Diana accepted a last minute request (day before). She came to pick up key that day and did meet ‘n greet with husband to get instructions. On day of walk, she was on time, called when our fickle front door stuck in the humidity. On the call, after the door opened, it was clear both her and Lizzy our maltipoo were excited to see each other. We got picture and walk info. She left the key in our drop mailbox as she left so we didn’t have to worry or track her down. Very professional! We would definitely book Diana again.”
“Emma went above and beyond and walked our dog Huck a full hour (likely due to his stubbornness) when we had only booked a 30 minute walk. She also made time for a meet and greet before our first walk and was very professional and courteous. My husband and I would highly recommend her!”
About: I have never lived without a dog until I came to college and missed my pups at home :( I hope to share my care for dogs with owners who want to get away for a little! I am available most days to care for your pet! Please let me know at least 1 week in advance so I can plan accordingly. I live in the woods surrounded by plenty of trails and space for dogs to explore (on-leash of course). If I am visiting the dog, I can bring my walking legs and an eagerness to entertain your pup!

“Kassandra is so great with my two dogs. She walks them every weekday at lunch. This allows me the opportunity to focus on work all while knowing my dogs, Jawn and Goose, are well taken care of. Goose is a senior dog at the age of 15 and Kassandra handles him with care. Jawn is still a little more rambunctious being only 9 years old. He and Kassandra play off his energy for his afternoon nap, and then they are both ready for me when I get home around 4. 5/5 Stars!”

We appreciate Lydia’s communication- pictures and texts. It is fun to see what she and Chandler get up to- dog parks, hikes, farmer’s market. The dog gets a vacation too when he’s with Lydia!”
Swatara dog parents share their Rover experiences
Maria is the most amazing dog sitter! I couldn't imagine having someone better. She is so caring and fun – our pup is absolutely in love with her. She provides very frequent check-ins with photos and videos, so I never have to wonder or worry. I'm only jealous of how much fun they seem to be having with her! She is also very flexible to our needs, and she makes it feel like we can always really count on her. I also love that my pup gets to spend time with Maria's own dog, which is so amazing because they're perfectly matched playmates! My dog has always been crazy high energy all the time, so it's a blessing to come back home to a dog who's ready for naps and cuddles because of the enrichment she gets being cared for by Maria. With Maria, I know my pup is in the best possible hands. Look no further for the most perfect dog walker/sitter!
