“Claire came over last minute to take care of our baby Maggie and she did such an amazing job. Maggie has a broken foot and is super stubborn and Claire worked so hard to get her to be able to exercise her foot. We haven’t left Maggie alone since she broke her foot and Claire did everything to make Maggie feel safe and loved. Will definitely be requesting her again!!”

“Wei walks our pup on a weekly basis. She’s reliable, attentive, caring, and she provides quick updates on each walk including photos so you’re aware of where they went and what they did with each walk. She also flags any concerns or additional notes that may be helpful to know, as needed. Her experience with having her own dog is a huge plus for us as she knows the ins and outs of caring for a dog.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats my entire life, and spending time with animals brings me the greatest joy. My grandmother was a dog breeder so I have witnessed it all - from puppy hood to the senior age. I’m currently a WFH post grad living in NYC and I’m excited to meet your pet! I work from home during the day with a very flexible schedule. Currently working to pay off my student loans, which is where Rover comes into the picture! During my WFH days my walking times remain flexible as I can schedule them when need be, and house sitting I will give great attention since my current role is not demanding of me. I treat every pet like they're my own. Before a first visit, I like to get a feel for the pet's routine, including feeding times, favorite toys, and any quirks or anxieties, so I can keep things as normal as possible while their owner is away. On walks, I stick to a consistent pace and route based on the dog's energy level and comfort, always keep them leashed and close, and stay alert to other dogs, traffic, and hot pavement. I bring waste bags and fresh water on longer walks. For drop-in visits, I follow the owner's instructions exactly for feeding, medication, and litter box or cage cleaning, and always leave with fresh water topped off and the space tidy. I send photo or video updates so owners can see their pet is happy and comfortable. I care for pets exclusively in their own home rather than mine, since my building has a strict no-pet policy. During a house sit, I maintain their normal schedule, keep the home clean and secure by locking up and bringing in mail or packages, and treat the client's space with the same respect I'd want for my own. I send regular updates throughout the stay so owners can relax knowing their pet, and their home, are in good hands.

About: Hi! My name is Yingxin and I have been walking dogs for my family members and friends since college. I love taking dogs for a walk as I enjoy seeing them being curious about the world, discovering new things, and making dog friends on their walk. Right now I can't remember a time when I don't have dogs around me at all when I take a walk! Besides, I just successfully raised my first little baby samoyed from 2 months old to 1 year old so I also have experience in walking little puppies (he stays with my parents-in-law now as he loves to play with his dog friends there!). I am also working on my animal CPR certificate as I cherish every dog's life very much and their health & safety are always my first priority. I am currently available Monday to Friday from 10am to 6pm, and Saturday from 9am to 6pm. However, if any of the time above doesn't work, we can communicate another time that works for both of us. For the dog walking service, I would provide: - Video recording of the full walk: You would know what your dog did and where it went during the walk (please let me know in advance if you don't want your dog to be filmed). Video is available for 24hrs to be downloaded and is shared via Google drive by EOD - Full, undivided attention to your dog: I only walk one dog at a time - Personalized walking-route: Based on your preference (or if you have no preference, the route will be planned using my best judgement) In addition, I will provide a quick overview right after the walk and a detailed breakdown of the walk for your reference

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was in 3rd grade. I grew up surrounded by dogs, and have volunteered with multiple rescues. Friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets from dogs to cats to guniea pigs to fish! I love all animals as if they are my own! I'm currently working part-time as a baker and have two dogs of my own. I personally use rover often and want to assist others with their pets as well. I know and hate the feeling of leaving your pets home for too long, or just not having someone to help with your pets. I’m here to ease that feeling just like many rover walkers have done for me! I love to pamper all pets. Whether that's cuddling on the couch and watching our favorite shows, to going for a run in the park. I love to do what's best for the animal I'm watching!

Euitae has been fantastic to work with. He arrives promptly, is thoughtful, warm and loving towards Stella (which every pet parent has to love); and takes the time to focus on her particular habits/needs. He also took time to get to know me and my preferences regarding her care. He keeps me updated during her walks and does not hesitate to ask questions if needed. I feel that Stella (a dog who LIVES for the love of humans) is safe and happy with him. And I am thrilled that I found him. Highly recommend!!!

Claire is absolutely amazing!!!!! She took care of Levi like he was her own dog. She is so sweet, caring, and attentive, and she sent me so many pictures and updates throughout the day, which made me feel completely at ease. Levi absolutely LOVED Claire, and I could tell he felt so comfortable and happy with her. I felt 100% safe leaving Levi in her care, which means so much to me. I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From now on, Claire will definitely be my first choice whenever I need someone to take care of Levi. I highly, highly recommend her!!! ❤️
