About: With over 10 years of experience in pet care, I have developed a deep understanding of both dogs and cats. My services extend beyond the basics of feeding, walking, and supervising; I am skilled in administering medication and providing thorough baths when needed. This extensive experience has equipped me to handle a wide range of pet needs with compassion and expertise, ensuring that each furry friend receives the best possible care while their owners are away. I’m currently working part time and will have plenty of time to care and take care of your pet. I will walk as much as you would recommend and also go for runs. I have a fenced in yard with plenty of space within the house. I always have an eye out and will block off areas when need be. I keep a clean and tidy home and no scraps are ever left on floor.

Jared L.
“My 9-year-old chiweenie suffers from severe separation anxiety and is very particular regarding the humans she connects with. Jared has been more than sensitive to her needs. His kindness, patience, and obvious love of animals were instantly apparent upon our first meeting. And his efforts have more than paid off since. My dog has a new human friend now! Yay! And I have a dog walker/sitter I can rely on whenever I go out of town without her. (Double yay!) I would highly recommend Jared. He is clearly a dog lover, and his dedication to the well-being of my little girl has been a huge relief. 5/5 stars *****!!!”

The Rockaways pet parents share their Rover experiences
Tara is amazing! She is very caring and kind. I felt very at ease having her watch Gyro and Charlie and will absolutely ask her to do so again. Caring for a 20 year old chihuahua can be daunting but Tara was confident and up for the task. I came home to two happy boys and everything was great!
We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter than Abby! She took amazing care of our furry crew. She was thoughtful, reliable, and went above and beyond to make sure they were happy and comfortable while we were away. We especially appreciated the daily updates and pictures - seeing them so well cared for gave us such peace of mind. We highly recommend Abby to anyone looking for a kind and responsible person ❤️
Mary-Grace was Exceptional !! She is Very Highly Recommended. We went out of the country, and she gave us 100% peace of mind that our precious pets and home would be taken care of safely. It snowed 9 inches while we were gone, and she perfectly managed things. She is timely, communicative, friendly, caring, and dedicated. We came back to a clean home and happy pets. We were so grateful for Mary-Grace and you will be too.
