“Peyton came in last minute to help with Lenox’s daily walks while we were away and our regular walker canceled. She was very communicative about how he did on his walks, sent great pictures, and was even extra gentle with him when a storm strolled through that made Lenox anxious. Would hire her again!”

“Tere is an excellent provider. She is easy to communicate with, is prompt, and went above and beyond to make sure my dogs were comfortable and extremely well-taken care of. Highly recommend.”

“Kathryn is all the things you’d want in a dog walker! Clear communication, always on time, and so caring of our dog. We get thorough and funny updates after each walk and super cute pictures of our pup! 😄🐕🐾”

“Andrea dog walked Cody on one day earlier this week (3 times during the day) and I couldn't be happier. Her communication was outstanding, plenty of photos and even documents how many times he pee-ed and pooped on each walk. She was accommodating when I had to adjust my schedule and was very reliable. She even washed out his dog food container when it was empty, which was beyond the call of duty. Andrea has a lovely manner, is very pleasant and eager to please. Would definitely work with her again.”

“Jenn is so great. She is very responsive and dependable. She is a dog lover and a very nice person! Penny is always excited to go for a walk with her. Thanks for being there when I need you, Jenn!”

“Cheryl and Elmar took such great care of our dog Peanut! They were even able to accommodate us when we needed emergency doggy care on short notice after our flights were canceled - we are so grateful! Peanut also had so much fun on his walks with them, he was so excited and waited by the door for them! Highly highly recommend!”


About: I’ve cared for pets my whole life and have 19 years of experience with dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and personalities. Friends, family, and neighbors trust me to feed, walk, play with, and care for their pets like they’re my own. I’m patient, dependable, and pay close attention to each pet’s needs to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m very flexible and available most days, so I just appreciate a little notice ahead of time instead of same-day requests. Pet care fits easily into my routine, which means I’ll have plenty of time and attention to give your pets. I enjoy spending time walking, playing, feeding, and making sure every pet feels comfortable, cared for, and loved while their owner is away. I make sure every pet is cared for in a safe, calm, and loving environment. I pay close attention to each pet’s routine and personality so they feel comfortable while you’re away. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I keep things clean, stress-free, and fun, with plenty of attention, playtime, fresh water, and love. I’ll also keep you updated so you can feel at ease knowing your pet is in good hands.
About: I will ensure your pet will get exercise and love when they are with me. I will play with toys, and give them endless belly rubs. I walk my dogs frequently throughout the day. I play with them as much as they want to play, and I give them lots of love and attention. I do this for all of my family members’ and friends’ pets as well, whenever I care for them. I am available to start caring for your pets today up until July 1st, which is when I will be getting my work schedule for my nursing career. After that, I am willing to work around my nursing schedule to care for your fur babies. I have a 3 year old mini Goldendoodle and a 12 year old golden retriever. I take them on multiple walks through out the day, feed them twice daily, ensure they have enough exercise and give them lots of love and play time. I will do the same for your family pets!
“Jolie was fantastic with my Alize! It’s clear that they formed a bond and my pooch trusts her. I am so happy to see that my dog was so well cared for. Will request again for sure! Thank you!!”
About: While I am new to Rover, I have a lifetime of experience loving and taking care of dogs. Whether I am stopping in, taking them on a walk, or boarding — I guarantee your pet will be loved, exercised, fed, happy and safe. I am also happy to set up a meet and greet to ensure the perfect fit. I’m currently a graduate student looking for part time work. My schedule is flexible. Please message me with any of your scheduling requests and needs. I am happy to care for your pet right in your home where they are comfortable or in my apartment with a small outdoor patio, if needed.
About: I’ve had experience with dogs all my life, with dogs of all ages. From lifetime pet owner to puppy fostering, I’ve enjoyed opening my home to many doggies over the years. I am working from home currently and would love to spend time with your pups while you are away. You can have peace of mind knowing they are having a great time too. I have a fenced in area, tons of doggie toys and enjoy daily walks, so your pup will get plenty of activity.. and I’ll be sure to send pictures so you can see the fun they’re having. I look forward to meeting you and your doggy!

About: My life has always been measured in the animals who’ve walked beside me. My very first furry friend was a dog my mother rescued the day I was born; a stray who chose us as much as we chose her. She watched over me as I grew, and when she passed, our home filled again with life: a white German shepherd, a Siberian husky, a Chesapeake Bay retriever, and two rescue dogs who completed our pack of five. Alongside them were rabbits, birds, and fish, each one a small heartbeat that shaped my understanding of care, patience, and love. I grew up feeding, walking, grooming, training, and comforting animals of every age and temperament. I’ve raised puppies from their first steps, and I’ve supported senior dogs through their gentle final years. I’ve administered medication, helped dogs with mobility needs, used ramps, changed diapers, and adapted to whatever made them feel safe and dignified. To me, these things aren’t chores, they’re acts of love. During my undergraduate studies, I also trained to become a veterinarian, deepening my understanding of animal health, behavior, and compassionate handling. As part of that training, I traveled to Thailand for two weeks to volunteer at a dog and cat shelter, where I supported stray animals and assisted licensed veterinarians with spay and neuter procedures. Despite switching my studies to social work, my experience strengthened my belief that animals are more than companions, they are beings who trust us with their safety, their comfort, and their hearts. Caring for them is both a responsibility and a privilege, and it’s one I carry with deep respect. Most recently, I rescued a senior “big brown dog” whose owner passed away. He now lives with my mother, but he’s still part of my heart. Even though I don’t currently have animals in my home, caring for them has never stopped being part of my life. I regularly board, walk, and look after family members’ dogs and cats, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I don’t see animals as “pets.” I see them as family; quiet companions who trust us with their whole hearts. They deserve to be cherished, comforted, and understood. They give us their loyalty without hesitation, and I believe the least we can do is return that devotion with gentleness, patience, and joy. If you choose me to care for your family member's needs, I will honor the love you have for them. I will treat them with the same tenderness I’ve given every animal who has shaped my life. Your dog won’t just be watched; they’ll be welcomed, respected, and cared for as the family member they are. I’m a part‑time student, and my partner works from home, so your pet will always have company, attention, and a consistent routine. I adapt my schedule to fit your pet’s needs, whether that means frequent walks, medication timing, extra potty breaks, or a slower pace for seniors. You’ll never have to wonder how your furry family member is doing; I’m happy to send photos, videos, and updates throughout the day so you always feel connected. I’m easily reachable by text and respond quickly, making sure you feel supported and informed while your pet is in my care. My goal is to create a seamless, comforting experience for both you and your beloved companion. Your pet’s safety and comfort guide everything I do. I live in a pet‑friendly apartment building where other dogs are present, but I’m always able to keep your animal completely separate if they prefer people over other pets. My home is a bi‑level space with hardwood floors, and I’m attentive to accessibility needs. If your four‑legged family member can’t manage stairs, I’m more than willing to carry them or stay downstairs with them so they feel secure, supported, and never alone. I live right next to a dog park for pups who love to socialize, and I’m surrounded by green spaces and the Charles River for peaceful walks, fresh air, and enrichment tailored to your pet’s personality. Above all, I create an environment where your animal is treated with gentleness, respect, and the same love I give my own.
About: After working at an animal hospital for three years, and volunteering at animal shelters I knew that I was meant to work with dogs. Their time on this planet is shorter than ours so it's my mission to make their time on this planet a happy, loving, and nurturing one! I have experience in dog handling from working with groomers and working at an animal hospital. I also help pet owners learn how they can improve the quality of life of their dog's life by removing chemicals and toxins from their home. Before moving to the Hudson Valley I lived in the city where I would walk dogs and bathe them for a living, so I am thrilled to be able to do that again in my new home!

About: I grew up caring for both big and small dogs (and horses!), so I love dogs of all ages and sizes! I promise to treat your furry family like my own while helping to maintain your pet's daily routine, including walks, meals, play (in the home and/or at dog parks), baths, cuddles, and whatever else your pet loves. I currently work as a research assistant at Columbia University/ New York-Presbyterian, so I spend most of my day talking with people. Here, I continue to learn the value and importance of connecting with others. As your pet's sitter or walker, I prioritize communication and comfortability with you to ensure that you feel excited about your pets care. I know I am! I currently work as a research assistant at Columbia University/ New York-Presbyterian. I spend my mornings at the hospital from about 10am-2pm. On any day, I am available either early in the morning or afterwards for walks or play time with your pups. On weekends, I am available for boarding. Every third week, I work from home and would love to board and/or care for your furry family for the week. It's priority to me to maintain the routine your pup knows and loves. I hope to get to know you and your pet so I can incorporate your pet's favorite walking routes, parks, toys, food, and general activity into the care I provide. On a side note, I am a distance runner! If you would like your pet to get some extra energy out, I would love to run with them.
“Kerri has been wonderful! Her communication is excellent—she keeps us updated and is always responsive. We're so glad we found her and are looking forward to having her watch our pups when we travel. Highly recommend!”

Andrea was wonderful with Genie! Even though she is new to us, she proved to be extremely punctual, knowledgeable, and professional right from the start. Most importantly, Genie seemed to really like her and took to her immediately. Highly recommend her services to anyone looking for great pet care!

Jimin is an exceptional dog walker. If you are looking for someone to provide serious, high-energy exercise for your pet, she is unmatched. She provides brisk, vigorous walks that are perfect for active dogs. Beyond her energy, Jimin is incredibly reliable; I have total peace of mind whenever she takes Genie out for a run.
