“Wonderful , I was so nervous but Julia won over our dog immediately and she was clearly very happy during Julia's stay. The house was immaculate when we returned . Very highly recommend Julia”

About: I currently have a 9-month-old puppy who is pure 50 pounds of energy, so I'm comfortable walking dogs of any size and temperament. Plus, I've had to train him. I do not currently have a full-time job, so I take care of my dog most every day. I can happily do the same for your pet. I will socialize your pet, take your dog on walks, feed them, clean up after them, and whatever other services you may require of me.
“Denisse was amazing with my pups! I have 3 dogs so they kept her busy but she handled it like a pro. My mind was put at ease knowing such a trustworthy person was taking care of my pups and home while I was out of town. The dogs got plenty of love and cuddles while I was away. Communication was frequent and loved getting pictures of my dogs comfortable in their surroundings like I never even left. Denisse was sweet and watered my plants for me and grabbed my mail. I will absolutely book her again and would recommend her to anyone.”
“Belkys was amazing! Our first time leaving our elderly dog with a sitter for so long, so we were nervous at first. So glad we chose Belkys- she did such a great job keeping us updating and making sure our pup was well taken care of. Would definitely book again”

“Cindy was an absolute delight and an immaculate housesitter! We were nervous about taking our first trip away from our kitten, but Cindy's quick responses, clear enthusiasm, and thoughtful check-ins (with photos!) put us at ease. We truly appreciate that Cindy went above and beyond for us on a holiday weekend, and we'll look forward to being repeat clients in the future - thank you!!”

“Andrea is every fur baby mom’s dream sitter. She’s timely, responsible, and loving. Every day I was given multiple updates about how my babies were doing and what they did that day. It eased my mind so much knowing they were safe, loved, and more than well taken care of. I could not recommend Andrea more!”

“Cecelia took great care of our two dogs and house sat for us while we were out of town for a week. She sent us multiple pictures of each of them every morning and every evening, they looked happy and like themselves in every one. We came home to our mail collected, a clean house, and two very happy doggies! Would definitely use again!”

About: We've had 2 puppies come into our home since 2013 and I have LOVED loving them & being loved by them more than anything in the world. I was one of those kids who wanted a dog more than anything else growing up and to finally have had a puppy was the best day of my life! However, I have been a student in the area for a few years now and have been missing having a pet to share my love with. Though this is my first time as an official pet caretaker, I have cared for my own dogs as well as many of the dogs in our family as if they are my own throughout the years. I’m a medical student with senioritis so I will be pretty flexible in the coming months! Currently visiting CA for a few weeks before returning to NY. I will most often be available for early mornings, evenings, and weekends! I do not have a yard or ability to care for pets in my home as it is not pet-friendly; however, I am in close proximity to the parks of Tarrytown/Sleepy Hollow!
About: I’ve grown up with dogs all my life, over the last few years I’ve fallen even deeper in love with our 4 legged companions. From pet walking, talking, games and I’m currently in the process of learning how to groom and train dogs. I also live with two other Rover caregivers so your dog has 24/7 care I have the privilege of having dogs being able to cover a large portion of my life expenses so I have a lot of time for our four legged furry friends. I work and I work out but I always give the dogs time attention and love via walks games and keeping them active. I also live near a beautiful forest and field so they have the opportunity to run and be free the way they should be! I have a fenced in yard with an upstairs and down stairs. I also have multiple rooms for the dogs They have their own space for eating and sleeping if they wish and I also have a small doggie couch in my room

“Jennifer did a fantastic job. She was always easy to reach, sent pictures, and kept me immediately apprised of any issues. She is a trainer so knows how to handle my sometimes difficult dog. She cared for my apartment and kept things near and clean. Highly recommend! Will be using her again!”

“Becky was absolutely amazing with our 10-year-old dog while we were away for a week. She gave our dog her medication reliably and sent us frequent updates and photos. This was our first time leaving Nala with someone who was not our family or friends but Becky took care of our girl like family. On top of that, she went above and beyond by caring for our home and helping with things like bringing in our packages while away. We came back to a happy, healthy pup and a clean home—couldn’t recommend her more!”

“We were fortunate to have Grace taking care of our elderly cat AND our elderly home. On Christmas Eve, unprecedented low temperatures knocked out our heating system. Grace rose to the challenging occasion. A cautionary tale for Rover care providers, when offering their house sitting services. *@&t happens. Happy to report both elderly subjects are healthy, warm & cozy! Thank you Grace.”

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was a child, all my life I have been surrounded by pets, therefore I know their care and I love them, friends and family have trusted me to feed them, walk them, bathe them or show my affection towards them, I describe myself as a person responsible, honest, patient and very kind. Nowadays I’m working part time, so I’m available to take care of your pets on weekends the full time or mornings 8am to noon during the week days. I am willing to take care of them in the house of my clients, I am a very organized person so I can easily follow instructions and know important things about the house and location of the necessary utensils for pets according to your likes
About: For over two years of my teenage life, I voluntarily cared for my elderly disabled dog, Chandler, who needed full support in his final year. Simultaneously, I also provided compassionate cancer care for my childhood dog, George, at the end of his 13 years. For the past four years, I’ve cared for my American Staffordshire Terrier, who is my trained ESA and lives part time with me, on campus, and with my mom at my childhood home. My life-long care and soft spot for dogs including experience with senior dogs, medical needs, and training, sets me apart as a patient, reliable, and attentive sitter for your loved one. I can promise you I will treat them as my own, ensuring sure you leave your pet with me feeling secure and confident. I’m currently working part time on campus st my University and I am a full time graduate student. My schedule varies on the weekends but I am available for check-ins and walks. The week days I have 1-3 hour breaks between classes and work to do check up’s and walks as well as time in the early morning for walks. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on following their established routines to keep them comfortable. I have experience with crated dogs as well as dogs that are fully trained and able to walk calmly on or off leash. I’ve also handled difficult or strong dogs (up to 75 pounds) on walks and manage them with patience, consistency, and care to ensure their safety and happiness. I will walk your dog where they feel most comfortable if you have suggestions and I would be more than happy to drive your dog to a park or for a hike.
“Excellent sitter! Aiden kept my pup happy and active! He went above and beyond; hanging with Harry and keeping him active and well cared for while we were away. Highly recommend!”

“Danny was so fantastic with our two dogs, Hudson and Bella. Hudson tends to jump up and bark at other pups, while Bella is a nervous dog and gets startled easily. Danny was great with both of them and their unique personalities. Danny was also super communicative, sending pics/videos, which was helpful and reassuring while we were away. I'd highly recommend him and will use him again in future when we go away.”
