About: I’ve had welcomed my first pet ever when I was 10 years old , then in 2012 I’ve have welcome another fur baby to the family . Being around my own personal pets made me love doing dog sitting a lot more so starting in 2013 I’ve decided to volunteer and also become employed with the services of onboarding , dog walking , etc . I love doing my job when it comes to pets because I think of them as my own. I am currently working Monday - Friday but my schedule is also very flexible. I am free on the weekends if services are needed as well. When caring for your pets in your home or my home they are well taken care of between any medications, a routine that they follow I will make sure that while your away they will be left in great hands .
About: I’ve been passionately caring for dogs since I was 13 years old. Over the years, I’ve fostered and adopted multiple dogs, specializing in communication-based training, housebreaking, and custom communication techniques. I’ve successfully trained dogs to express their needs clearly—whether signaling to go outside, asking for water, or communicating when it's mealtime! Currently, I balance my college studies with working professionally as a dog handler. Because of my professional background in canine behavior and training, I understand how dogs think, learn, and communicate. Whether your dog needs structured exercise, high-energy playtime, or just a calm, confident handler while you're away, they will be in expert hands. Current Fall Schedule (August – December) I balance professional training and college courses, which keeps my routine structured and consistent. I am available for bookings on specific days each week: Morning Shift Days (Work 6:00 AM – 2:00 PM): Fully available for afternoon walks, drop-ins, evening visits, and overnight house sitting starting after 2:30 PM. Evening Shift Days (Work 2:00 PM – 10:00 PM): Available for early morning walks, breakfast drop-ins, and mid-day visits up until 1:00 PM. Overnight House Sitting: Available regularly! As long as your dog can be left comfortably during my work/class hours, I provide full overnight care, evening exercise, and morning routines. Winter & Spring Availability (Starting January) Beginning in December, my college semester ends and my availability expands significantly. I will have full, open availability alongside my standard work shifts for drop-ins, walks, and boarding/sitting. When staying at or visiting a client's home, safety, clear communication, and keeping your dog happy and comfortable are my top priorities: Potty Breaks & Routine Maintenance: I stick strictly to your pet's established routine for outdoor breaks, feeding times, and bedtime to keep their environment feeling familiar and stress-free. Appetite & Engagement Solutions: If a dog is feeling anxious or hesitant to eat in a new routine, I use low-impact playtime, light exercise, or gentle mental stimulation to help them settle in, relax, and get their digestive system moving naturally. Home Security & Respect: I treat your home with total respect—keeping doors securely locked, maintaining a clean space, and following all specific instructions regarding gated areas, crate routines, or security systems. Constant Communication & Updates: You will receive regular photo updates, routine check-ins, and immediate communication so you always have total peace of mind while you're away. (Note: I currently do not offer boarding services inside my own home, focusing 100% of my attention on on-site house sitting, drop-in visits, and walking.)
“Jocelyn goes above and beyond! And our dog just loves her! It is clear Jocelyn treats all dogs like her own, and we are so happy to have someone we trust who our dog loves!”
“Ariana was a fantastic sitter for our babies! She came on time or even a little early and got fantastic photos and updates of the kitties and ratties. And yes, she took care of our little rodent friends, making sure they had food while we were gone for a long weekend. Would definitely recommend Ariana and would love for her to sit for us again in the future!”
About: I have grown up with dogs and cats (and a few fish, turtles, a bunny, two goats...) have volunteered to care for dogs, and have pet-sitted for a few friends! I love every furry (or even non-furry!) being, big or small. My family currently has 4 dogs, and while I was back for college when we first got Tommy, our oldest, I would take care of him every day, playing around and feeding him as a small puppy, as my mom left for work and errands. Our dogs are now grown, and it's been beautiful being able to spend time and play with them. I have taken care of cats as well, especially my friend's, and I take being safe, precise, and clean seriously! I currently have a part-time job and several events going on, so I will try to keep my calendar as up to date as possible, but my schedule will change weekly. I typically should be available after 6:30 PM on days that I work, but please feel free to check with me for availability! I would also be happy to stay with a pet for an extended time. Unfortunately, my car is not very economical, so I do have to take distance into account. Unfortunately, I cannot host any pets as I don't yet have a place of my own. However, I am perfectly comfortable with visiting and staying with pets over extended lengths of time! I like to keep a close watch, play, and cuddle, but I also respect any pet that needs their space or alone time. Pets, especially dogs, feel like small children to me, and I take their well-being seriously.
“Rachael was prompt in responding, helpful during the booking process, reliable and communicative during visits! Really appreciate the time and effort, will definitely be reaching out again for future cat sitting needs!”
“MaryAnn was wonderful! She took great care of our older cat while we were on vacation and sent regular updates on how he was doing. We’d definitely recommend MaryAnn!”
“Jennifer is the *purrfect* kitty sitter! She recently cared for my two senior cats and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. They liked her instantly, even if it took them a little time to fully come out of their shells—but by the end, they *loved* her! Jennifer clearly understands cats and knows how to build trust at their pace. She was reliable, communicative, and sent the sweetest photo updates while I was away. It gave me such peace of mind to know they were in such good hands. If you're looking for someone who will truly connect with your cats and care for them like her own, Jennifer is the one!”
About: I just have an intense love for all animals and think they are all angels. If I had more self-control, I'd be vegan. I am open to taking care of any animals but mainly have experience with dogs and cats. I'm still looking for full-time work so currently, I have an open schedule. I would prefer to work Mon-Fri. I am open to discussing weekend availability. I would prefer to take care of the pet in the client's home, because I have pets of my own. My pets are both pretty unique, so it would be more efficient to do it in a space that's familiar to the pet.
About: I have extensive experience caring for dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to senior dogs needing extra support. I grew up with at least 2+ dogs at a time and have cared for multiple families’ pets, and am comfortable with medication administration, senior mobility needs, and sticking to structured routines. This year I’ll be substitute teaching and with a flexible school schedule, I have plenty of time to give your pet the love, attention, and care they deserve — plus I keep owners updated with regular photos and messages. I will be working part time as a substitute teacher so I get out early and have afternoons and evenings free. Whether it’s sticking to a pet’s regular schedule or adjusting as needed, I’m able to prioritize making sure they feel happy, loved, and well cared for. I treat every pet like family! I have cared for many pets and homes with the same attention I’d give my own — keeping pets safe, happy, and following their routines. I’m also mindful about home security and send regular updates for peace of mind.
“Wendy is the best! She is super nice and will make sure you have no worries at all when leaving your family member in her amazing care. This is our second sitting with her and we are very happy with everything she has done. 11/10! Looking forward to many more future sittings! Thank you Wendy!”
About: I’ve been around dogs since I was 12 and have always enjoyed their company. This gives me the opportunity to be around pets because they bring me so much joy. My puppy is the sweetest and loves playing with other dogs. She is at her happiest when with another dog. They’ll become besties! I’m currently a student in college looking for the opportunity to fill my spare time with something I love to do. I’m available late mornings through early evenings for all dog care needs. I have a fenced backyard with space for their fun and a sectioned off turf area. I will provide treats, water, and plenty of opportunity for them to exercise as well as giving them an abundant amount of attention.
About: I’m a lifelong dog lover who will treat your pup like family! 🐾 I’m patient, reliable, and attentive to each dog’s unique personality and needs. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, or companionship, I’ll make sure your pup feels safe and loved. I’ll also keep you updated with photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away! 🐶❤️ I’m currently working remotely, which gives me flexibility throughout my day. I’m available during my free time for walks, drop-ins, playtime, and plenty of attention. I’ll do my best to accommodate your pet’s normal routine and schedule. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my priority. I’ll follow all care instructions closely, keep a watchful eye on your pup, and make sure they receive plenty of love and attention. I’ll also provide updates and photos so you can feel at ease while they’re in my care. 🐾❤️
About: Hi there! Proud pet owner and animal caretaker for over 15 years now. I’ve had cats for most of my life, as well as fish, birds and turtles.

About: I have had dogs my entire life and currently have a 8 year old maltipoo named Ivy! My partner and I did Rover 6 years ago and loved it, so we’re back to meet more new doggies. I’ve cared for both big and small dogs, any size is welcome. We have a very spacious three bedroom townhome with lots of space. We have a large unfenced yard where the dogs can play on tie-outs. Love getting out and being active, so your dog and I can go on energetic walks or even runs with my partner. I work from home most of the week so my schedule is very flexible and happy to help! I’m currently working from home 2 days a week and my partner is home the other 2, so we will be able to offer a very flexible walk/potty schedule depending on eat dogs needs. My dog goes out every 2-4 hours and she gets lots of love throughout the day, but we have a backyard and are able to takes dogs for potty at any time! My backyard is unfenced on 2 sides a with a tree barrier on the unfenced sides, but we have many tie outs to make sure no one gets lost. I have lots of toys inside for playing and we treat all pets like they are our own. There is plenty of space in our 3 bedroom and 2 living room home and lots of dog beds for cuddling.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Tuckahoe
We love working with Jorge. He is the gold standard for professionalism and consistency. With other dog sitters (private and on platforms) we’ve seen a pattern where they are engaged at first and then trail off, but we have been working with Jorge for a long while and he has never given less than 110%. Best caregiver we have worked with for our sweet girl!
Karen is wonderful and took great care of our dog and cat, Taffy and Minnie. She was very thorough and professional and very loving towards our two. Taffy and Minnie were so happy and relaxed when we got home after four days, I’m not sure they noticed we were gone, no stress or anxiety. I can’t recommend Karen any higher, she’s great! Jennifer von M
Bruna took great care of our dog, Daphne, and made our first experience hiring a dog walker a fantastic one. She was reliable, communicative, and gave us peace of mind while we were away. Daphne was happy and well cared for, and it was clear she was in great hands. We wouldn't hesitate to book with Bruna again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to care for their pet!
Vicenzza showed up on time and was reliable, communicative, and caring throughout the visit. She took great care of Tucker, and I felt completely comfortable knowing he was in good hands. The whole experience was easy and stress-free. I would definitely book with her again.
She was amazing! She did everything exactly as requested, including changing the pee pads, refreshing Oreo’s water, cleaning up after him, giving him his lick mat, and spending time playing with him. She also kept everything clean and followed all of my instructions perfectly. I really appreciated the care and attention she gave Oreo, and I felt completely at ease knowing he was in good hands. I would definitely book her again and highly recommend her!
If we could give Darianny 10 Stars we would. We have a newly diagnosed diabetic 12 dog. She wears a diaper and she needed to be medicated with insulin via syringe. Both of her needs were met with care, skill and love. She care for our dog fur babie E. and her sister P every day for 5 days. She was punctual, kind to our girls and never rushed her visit. Our dogs need to be fed and let out has well. We would highly recommend Darianny B. for your healthy pet, but more importantly, a dog who needs some medical attention. Darianny is a Vet tech, and that her even more valuable as a caretaker. We can't thank her enough and will used her again and again if she is available

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Tuckahoe choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone.
