“Arsenii was wonderful with my dog Genevieve while we had to be away for a family’s memorial. He was always kind, understanding, and sent me updates with pictures everyday without me having to ask. He also brought all her things (bed, food, toys, etc) back to my car when I picked her up, which was so generous. Genevieve also had the best time with them, and was very happy and relaxed. I’ll definitely be asking Arsenii to help out again in the future. Fully recommend him!!”
“Jessica was so amazing!! I felt so confident with my sweet girl Daisy being in her and her daughter’s hands. She got so much love and care. Jessica was so in tune with her needs and incredible at communicating with me. I could tell Daisy was so happy and comfortable. Highly recommend Jessica!”
“Natasha and Hamir took wonderful care of our beagle mix. They sent updates and photos daily. He was very comfortable with them which made our trip more enjoyable to know he was in such great care.”
“Richard and Karen continue to be amazing. I appreciate how much they enjoy watching Maeve, and the feeling is mutual - her whole butt wagged when we walked up to their door for drop off! I know she feels comfortable there and I trust them 100%. Thank you both!”
“Jessica and her husband were clearly so patient and understanding about sitting for a senior dog. Salto came back happy and excited! They sent regular photos and updates. I would absolutely have Salto stay with them again if we are in the area.”
“Maddie was wonderful! Took perfect care of Sasha and checked in often about her during her stay. She was also very understanding and accomodating to some unfortunate tummy troubles Sasha had. Would definitely recommend Maddie!”
“My dog Keke had a great time with Maxine, her family and their dog, Skyler. Keke is a runner and there is plenty of space for running, hiking and more. I recommend Maxine and will surely have Keke stay again in the future. Thanks”
“Stephanie was great! She watched our 11 month old German Shepherd puppy on very short notice when we had to put our older dog to sleep and wanted some time for her to have the house to herself. Stephanie is very knowledgeable about dogs and is very friendly. She has a nice set up with a fenced in yard that Odin liked to play in. He also got to play with some of the other dogs she was watching. He had a blast and didn’t want to leave!”
“Thank you Sam! She’s our go to for help with our puppy Ruby - Sam is so sweet with her as she takes a while to warm up to new people, she takes very good care of Ruby, reaches out with questions and always follows our sometimes wordy instructions!”
“Barbara took wonderful care of Bernie during our long trip. She stayed in touch via photos and videos and showed us that he was well taken care of and was having a good time at her home. I would highly recommend her.”
“Grace was excellent with our dog, Leni. He had some serious separation anxiety when we dropped him off and went on a hunger strike for several days. Not only did Grace keep us hell informed, she went above and beyond in trying to make Leni feel comfortable in her home and went as far as spoon feeding him to get him to eat. We're so thankful for all that she did to take care of Leni. I would highly recommend Grace to anyone looking for a loving and caring home in which to leave their pup while traveling. Thank you, Grace!!”
“I’m so grateful to have found Maureen to care for my sweet Lola while I was away! Lola can be a bit shy and isn’t always great with other dogs, but Maureen knew exactly how to handle her with so much patience and love. She really took the time to understand Lola’s needs and quirks, from giving her the cuddles she loves to making sure she had her peaceful walks without any stress. I could tell how happy Lola was when I came back—she was relaxed, content, and clearly well taken care of. It’s not easy to find someone you can fully trust with your fur baby, but Maureen exceeded my expectations in every way. I can’t thank her enough for giving Lola the attention and care she deserves. It was like she was on her own little vacation! It’s clear Maureen genuinely cares and goes the extra mile to ensure pets are happy and well cared for. I’ll definitely be booking with her again! Thank you Maureen!!”
“Sridevi is a great host for my kitten, Mochi! He stayed with them over the holidays. She made him feel at home with lots of care and toys and activities. She provided frequent videos and photos and kept me updated. She also provided video call. Highly recommended!”
“Thank you Lieb and family for taking such great care of Rocket. I can tell he had a terrific time with you while we were away. And thanks for the pictures and updates etc! We really appreciate your dedication to the dogs.”
About: Hello, My name is Candice. I am a fur Momma to two Dogs. Princess Lola is a 7 year old Chocolate Labrador who is my gentle giant. She enjoys long walks with her dog friends and playing with her human brothers and sisters. Scrappy is a 14 year old Westie/ Bischon Frise mix who enjoys snuggles from his family and his bed. He is blind but navigates and acts like he can see. I did have a third fur baby that crossed the rainbow bridge last year as he lost his fight with cancer. My Brodie was a 13 year old Long Haired Chihuahua/ Papillon mix and in his younger years enjoyed playing nose soccer with his family. In his senior life he enjoyed snuggling up with his brother Scrappy most. My husband Craig and I are raising our 4 children ages 4-11. They have lived their entire lives with dogs. We are a family of dog lovers and cant wait to meet your fur babies. I have experience in caring for dogs ages ranging from puppy to senior. I also have experience administering oral medication. I have been a stay at home mother and homemaker for the past 11 years which allows me to have a very flexible schedule to care for your dog. I offer a variety of services. Outdoor dog walking from little to no incline for older dogs or dogs with walking difficulties to uphill or hiking for more active and energetic dogs. I can provide care in my home with my family or care in your home for play time, feedings, or to give medicine.
About: Hi! I’m Jess, and if my friends had to describe me, they’d probably say I’m the human version of a golden retriever friendly, energetic, loyal, and always excited to make new friends (especially the furry kind!). While I haven’t owned a dog myself, I’ve spent years helping care for dogs belonging to family, friends, and many of my personal training clients. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, or simply keeping them company, I genuinely love spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. As a personal trainer and health coach, I’m very active, dependable, and attentive to details. I’ll treat your dog like family and make sure they get plenty of exercise, affection, and care while you’re away. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I would be honored to be that person for your furry family member. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine right now. I currently have a flexible schedule and am looking to stay active and productive throughout the summer while doing something I genuinely enjoy. I love animals and see pet sitting and dog walking as an opportunity to help both pets and their owners. I know many people have vacations, family events, long workdays, and summer plans, and it can be stressful worrying about leaving a beloved pet behind. My goal is to provide loving, dependable care so pet parents can enjoy their time away with peace of mind, knowing their furry family member is getting plenty of attention, exercise, companionship, and affection. As someone who is active, responsible, and caring, I enjoy spending time outdoors, going for walks, and giving pets the love and attention they deserve. I look forward to helping families this summer while building meaningful connections with both pets and their owners. 🐾💛 When caring for pets in my client’s home, I do my best to keep their routine as normal and stress free as possible. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, medications, playtime, and any special needs. I make sure pets have fresh water, a clean environment, plenty of exercise, and lots of love and attention throughout the day. Every pet has a unique personality, so I take the time to build trust and make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owner is away. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playing fetch, cuddling on the couch, or simply having someone nearby, I’m happy to accommodate their needs. As a personal trainer and health coach, I lead an active lifestyle and love spending time outdoors, making me a great fit for dogs who enjoy walks and playtime. I also understand how important pets are to their families, so I treat every animal as if they were my own and provide regular updates, photos, and communication so owners can have peace of mind while they’re away. 🐾💛
“Freddy loves Arianne and family and we LOVE that they provide such good care and attention to him in our absence. We already rebooked because there is no one we feel more comfortable with taking care of our pup!”
“Nahomie did an incredible job taking care of Lucy while we were away for a week! Nahomie is so warm and caring, a great communicator and her house is impeccably clean and in a quiet area close to a nearby park. She made sure that Lucy had her daily walks, meals, medicines and supplements right on schedule. We could tell that Lucy was so well taken care of and happy—we couldn’t have done a better job ourselves! Regular pictures and detailed check-ins about their daily adventures also helped us feel reassured that Lucy was having the best time possible. Would definitely recommend and bring Lucy back to Nahomie for sitting again!”

“Chris was a delight to work with! He stayed with our 4 kitties for a week and took excellent care of them, despite their shyness/fussiness. It had been so long since we had traveled for an extended time and it was a great relief to know our fur babies were in good hands while we were away. Will definitely reach out to him in the future!”
About: Cats have been part of my life for as long as I can remember, so caring for them feels very natural to me. I’m comfortable with all kinds of personalities from affectionate, social cats to shy or the ones who pretend they don’t need you… until they do. I understand cat body language and know when it’s time to interact and when it’s better to give them space. I take a calm, patient approach and let each kitty set the pace when it comes to trust and interaction. I’m experienced with daily routines like feeding, litter box care, playtime, and enrichment, and I always respect a cat’s boundaries, even when those boundaries change five minutes later. I keep a close eye on behavior, appetite, and overall mood, and I’ll let you know right away if anything seems off. I also love sending regular photo and video updates, so you can feel relaxed knowing your cat is comfortable, safe, and being treated like the little boss they are.
About: My petsitting career has always included cats. As such I have lots of experience working with a wide array of cats from kittens, ferals, extra friendly love bugs, and also special needs kitties. I've been the go to person for several diabetic cats and am trusted by my clients to keep their cats healthy and well. I have lots of medication administration experience with cats and in general tend to be well liked by cats. Even very shy or feral cats tend to warm up to me rather quickly as I am very calm and have good cat handling and trust building techniques I follow to ensure im not seen as a threat and instead a friend. I have a kitty of my own at home named Sesame, you can see him hanging out on my shoulder in my photo. I hope I get to make friends with your cats as well 😊 🐾
“CeCe did a great job looking after and playing with my very shy cat. She was also very responsive and kept a close eye on things. As a result, I could enjoy my time away from home without stress.”
“Emily was fantastic! She was so communicative and flexible when we had to switch the drop in hours. Our cat seemed very happy and well taken care of. Highly recommend!”
About: Looking for care that goes above and beyond? I make sure to try and provide everything your cat needs, not just food, water, and a clean litter box. I try to tailor care to the individual cat, so whether you have a loner cat who likes his privacy or a social kitty who needs lots of love I will do my best to meet their needs.
“Camila was the BEST sitter for my kitty - she went above and beyond to share updates and photos and took excellent care of her while I was gone. I felt like I was leaving my cat with a family member and would absolutely book her again.”
“Melissa was amazing! Our cat has been really picky with food and Melissa went out of her way to try different options to make sure she ate. When we came home, we honestly think our cat was disappointed it was us and not Melissa, lol. The house was in beautiful shape, and we never once felt nervous about being away from home. THANK YOU!!”
“Margaret was on time, paid great attention to my two lovies, along with have me updates and pictures on how they were while away. She was also there the entire time she said she was, which meant a lot to me.”
“Wow - I booked Cynthia to watch over my two cats while I was away and I was blown away by the attention, care and love she provided them! My cats do not take very well to strangers but Cynthia has a way with animals and they warmed up to her immediately. I couldn't believe it. She sent me detailed information describing her visit and how she played with them, brushed them and took care of food/water/litter. She took great photos to assure me they were doing well and even watered a couple plants for me that I forgot needed some love too. I will definitely be using Cynthia for my next trip, I felt so at ease with her warm energy watching over my fur babies! They miss her already!”
About: Alongside dogs I’ve taken care of cats when necessary since I was young. The thing I love about animals is that they all have such unique personalities and cats often have some of the most unique I’ve ever met. I love meeting new cats and look forward to learning more about them.
“It was such a relief to be able to go on vacation and know our cats weren't just being fed, but truly taken care of. Stacy was very communicative and we could tell she made good friends with our cats - they still ask when shes coming back. She came over in advance to get a lay of the land and meet them and learn all their hiding spots. She even took the litter when she left so we wouldn't have to deal with it. Stacy really was wonderful and knowing our cats were being loved by someone with such great experience while we were away was such a gift!”
About: I have been taking care of pets since I was a child! My love for animals has motivated me to enroll in vet tech school, starting this fall. I specialize in small mammals, such as rabbits and hamsters, and have owned my own. I have also cared for guinea pigs, parakeets, and aquariums. For dogs, I have experience working with both small and large breeds! I regularly look after my neighbor's dog, and love every opportunity I get to spend time with her. For cats, I have primarily done drop in visits, but have experience with administering medicine to shy cats by building trust over time. I currently do not own pets of my own, so I will be able to give your pet my full attention and care! I am currently spending my summer before starting vet tech school working part time, volunteering at local shelters, and shadowing at clinics. I work weekends, but can still do an early morning or evening visit if needed! Your pet's comfort and safety is my number one priority and I will care for them as if they are my own! Communication and trust is important to me, so I will update you regularly on their happiness and health.

“Richard & Karen are very friendly & caring. This was our first time using their services and look forward to having Jinga over with them again in two weeks.”
“Travis and Roberta were critical in helping us get our dog settled the first week we had him! They were so kind and patient with him. He loved going over to their house when we couldn’t be home! Their dog was older than ours and was also patient and gentle with him, so it was great socialization for our pup! We will definitely be booking with them again in the future!”
“Alicia was patient and calm with Frisky, who takes a little while to warm up to new situations. I felt completely comfortable and confident leaving him at Alicia’s, and would not hesitate to use her again. Frisky had a great time hanging out with her dogs. I picked up a happy and tired pup!”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care Maple received from Nahomi! We needed to board our puppy for the full day, and Nahomi instantly made her feel so comfortable and happy that the goodbye was completely joyful. Nahomi was meticulous about her feeding, walks, and updating us throughout the day. We would happily use her again and would highly recommend her to anyone.”

I create a calm, structured environment that adapts to your dog’s personality whether they’re high-energy or a little shy.
About: I have extensive experience caring for animals because I truly love them. In my home country, the Dominican Republic, I cared for three Yorkshire dogs, a cat, four cockatoos, and a horse. I have also rescued abandoned animals, supported their recovery, and placed them in responsible adoptive homes. I am patient, reliable, and very attentive to each pet's individual needs. Pet care is my full-time job, so it is my main daily focus. I provide in-home care and am available throughout the day to offer constant attention, supervision, walks, timely feedings, playtime, and companionship. I carefully follow each pet's routine and individual needs to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and at home.

I make sure to remove any potential hazards and keep doors and areas secure at all times. I carefully follow the owner’s instructions, including feeding, walks, medication, and specific routines. I provide constant supervision, loving attention, and a comfortable space where pets feel relaxed and at home.

About: Hi! My name is Anjané, and I have 4 years of professional pet care experience through pet sitting, dog walking, drop-in visits, boarding, and house sitting.

As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to have someone trustworthy caring for your pets. I provide regular updates, photos, and communication throughout every booking so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is receiving excellent care.

She is the reason we adopted Buddy, he is a special needs dog with anxiety and a multitude of issues we have been working through.

About: Looking for more than just a quick walk or a busy kennel? I provide personalized, one-on-one care tailored to your dog's personality, age, and energy level. Whether your dog enjoys a neighborhood walk, a wooded trail hike, a sniff walk, puzzle games, fetch, or simply relaxing with companionship, my goal is to make every visit enjoyable, enriching, and stress-free. I have over 14 years of hands-on experience with dogs, including supervising groups of up to 30 dogs in a professional dog daycare and caring for puppy groups under 4 months old. For more than five years, I also organized dog hikes throughout Westchester County, NY, and Fairfield County, CT, giving dogs a safe, structured, and fun way to exercise and explore. My experience is strongest with Golden Retrievers, Labrador Retrievers, Doodles, Cavaliers, and other friendly companion breeds that thrive with individualized attention, exercise, enrichment, and companionship. While I welcome many different breeds, I always schedule a meet-and-greet first to make sure we're the right fit for each other. My own Golden Retriever, Kobi, was my best friend and adventure partner for over 12 years. Together we explored hiking trails, beaches, kayaking trips, road trips from Maine to Florida, and countless daily walks. He taught me that every dog is an individual with unique needs, and that is exactly how I care for every dog I meet. I believe many dogs are happier with personalized care than large-group environments. Over the years, I have learned to read canine body language, recognize stress signals, manage different personalities, and create a calm environment where dogs feel safe and comfortable. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, oral medications, and dogs that simply need extra patience and attention. My home has a fenced yard for supervised outdoor time and is just a five-minute walk from beautiful wooded trails. I intentionally keep boarding and daycare small by accepting only one guest dog at a time, or two dogs from the same family, so every dog receives plenty of supervision, affection, exercise, and individual attention. I also have a playpen available for puppies and young dogs who benefit from structured rest time. My apartment is on the second floor, so dogs should be be comfortable using stairs. While living in England, I helped care for a Golden Retriever, and later in Spain, I cared for a Yorkshire Terrier. These experiences, together with years of owning dogs, leading dog hikes, and working professionally in dog daycare, have given me experience with many different breeds, personalities, and energy levels. My approach combines practical experience with a calm, patient mindset. I am certified in Reiki and Emotion Code energy work and believe dogs thrive when they feel safe, understood, and respected. While every visit focuses first on your dog's physical needs, I also pay close attention to their emotional well-being. Services I offer: • Dog walking • Adventure walks and hikes (up to 2 hours) • 30-60 minute drop-in visits • Puppy visits and enrichment activities • Limited home daycare • Limited boarding for approved dogs For everyone's safety and comfort, I require a meet-and-greet before accepting new clients. I look forward to meeting you and giving your dog the same love, attention, and care that I gave my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I am self-employed as a bookkeeper and real estate agent, which allows me to work primarily from home and maintain a flexible schedule. While I occasionally leave the house for appointments, errands, or property showings, I am able to plan my schedule around the needs of the pets in my care. This flexibility allows me to provide frequent potty breaks, exercise, playtime, companionship, and close supervision for dogs staying in my home. I provide a safe, calm, and personalized environment with plenty of individual attention. My home has a fenced yard for supervised outdoor time, and I live just a 5-minute walk from wooded trails for walks and adventures. Dogs have access to a comfortable sofa, toys, and puzzle games for enrichment and mental stimulation. I live in a second-floor apartment, so dogs should be comfortable using stairs. I only accept 1 dogs at a time or 2 from the same family to ensure each dog receives plenty of supervision, exercise, and companionship.
“Maria became my pup's new best friend:) Nala has only been working on house training for a few days so is doing well but not 100%, and Maria had her on a schedule that was successful for her. I felt Nala had a safe, fun time. We will be using Maria again:)”

“Chris is a friendly and reliable dog walker! He is very communicative, and cares very much about Bonnie. He sent Rover cards and plenty of pictures of my big baby.”
“I totally lucked out finding Griffin through Rover. He was friendly, communicative, and quickly got to know my dog, Poppy's, personality and needs. I felt very secure having him take her out for walks while I was working. He was safety minded; thinking about the right place to walk with her, using a harness, and being mindful of ticks. I think Poppy loved her time with him and I wouldn't hesitate to use him again.”
About: I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities from calm, easygoing pups to nervous or strong dogs that sometimes think they’re training me on the leash. I stay calm in challenging situations and handle them safely without adding stress. I always follow owners’ instructions closely and keep routines consistent, but I’m also comfortable making quick, responsible decisions if something unexpected comes up. I’ve helped with medications, senior pets, and special diets when needed. I’m patient, attentive, and very observant with animals. I pay attention to changes in behavior, mood, and energy, and I always keep owners updated with photos and videos so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine, as I spend most of my time at home and can give pets consistent attention throughout the day. I’m available any day of the week, including weekends, and I’m always home overnight, which makes me a great fit for boarding and extended stays. My flexible schedule allows me to adapt to each pet’s routine and provide a calm, home-like environment where pets feel safe and well cared for. Safety and comfort are my top priorities. Pets in my home are supervised most of the time and cared for in a calm, structured environment. If needed, I can separate pets or use a crate provided by the owner to ensure everyone feels safe. During walks, I always use the owner’s equipment and follow their preferences closely. Walks are kept calm and controlled, and I avoid crowded areas. Pets are never off-leash unless explicitly approved. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I strictly follow house rules and handle keys or access responsibly. I communicate promptly about any concerns and will contact a veterinarian immediately in urgent situations.

About: I've owned and cared for animals my whole life, from cats and dogs to snakes and chinchillas. My fur babies are everything to me - I even have them forever tatted on me! My current English bulldog, Stella, is half-blind and all crazy. She is a protector and lover of my two girls, who have known and grown up with animals their whole lives. While a sweetheart, she remains separate from my boarded friends. I also enjoy volunteering at two of our local animal shelters and am raising a future veterinarian. I believe animals are the purest form of love and require nothing less in return. Whether my own or yours, you can trust that I'll care for them all the same ♥️ I'm available most days of the week and weekends. Pet care and motherhood are my full-time roles, and my daughter may often accompany me on my walks. My home has large yard and a separate family area where my boarded friends can have their own quiet, private space to hang out with me: hang on the couch, watch TV, or play outside. I have a large crate if needed and plenty of space.
About: As a mature and caring pet lover, I have had animals in my life for as long as I can remember. Years ago, I worked as an assistant at a veterinary hospital, giving me valuable experience in pet care and handling. Also, I have 30 years experience as a medical massage therapist, and I will gladly massage your babies to help with stiffness or for just the pure enjoyment of it. Your furry friend will be treated like my own with love, patience, and attention to their needs. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just some good belly rubs, I’m here to make sure they feel safe and happy while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your pet! I am retired and am very open to most days and weekends for attending to your pets needs. I can pretty much head out at a moment’s notice. Since I have two cats of my own, I could not bring any animals into my house. My cats are lap cats and always sit where I sit. They so enjoy being massaged and loved on. Looking forward to caring for your pets the same way at your home.

About: With six years of dedicated experience, I am a passionate dog sitter who adores animals. My home offers an open space where your furry friends can roam and play freely. Trust me to provide exceptional care for your beloved pets As a part-time student with online coursework and a part-time job, I'm at home during afternoons and weekends, a highly flexible schedule.

This may include feeding, exercise, playtime, and ensuring a comfortable environment. My goal is to create a safe and happy experience for your furry companions.
About: I have been taking care of pets since I was a child! My love for animals has motivated me to enroll in vet tech school, starting this fall. I specialize in small mammals, such as rabbits and hamsters, and have owned my own. I have also cared for guinea pigs, parakeets, and aquariums. For dogs, I have experience working with both small and large breeds! I regularly look after my neighbor's dog, and love every opportunity I get to spend time with her. For cats, I have primarily done drop in visits, but have experience with administering medicine to shy cats by building trust over time. I currently do not own pets of my own, so I will be able to give your pet my full attention and care! I am currently spending my summer before starting vet tech school working part time, volunteering at local shelters, and shadowing at clinics. I work weekends, but can still do an early morning or evening visit if needed! Your pet's comfort and safety is my number one priority and I will care for them as if they are my own! Communication and trust is important to me, so I will update you regularly on their happiness and health.
“Samantha was absolutely fantastic with our high-energy puppy, even on a rainy day!! She went above and beyond to take care of our dog, and our dog absolutely loved her as well! I would highly recommend!”
“I'm so grateful for Kristine and her help with my foxhound Cersei. I'm a single dog-parent and Cersei is a lot of work. Kristine is punctual, attentive, includes photos (in which Cersei is always smiling), and goes above and beyond to make sure Cersei is cared for. I can't recommend Kristine more highly!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs my whole life and developed a sense of understanding a dogs behavior and body language. Friends and family have always rely on me because they know I am great at meeting a dogs needs and dependable when needed. I am home several days of the week and have time for walks, playtime, and belly rubs. I’m also available on the weekends where I can provide consistent check ins, and walks. I will care for every pet as if they were my own whether they’re in my home or in yours I will make sure they feel safe, comfortable.

“Arsenii was wonderful with my dog Genevieve while we had to be away for a family’s memorial. He was always kind, understanding, and sent me updates with pictures everyday without me having to ask. He also brought all her things (bed, food, toys, etc) back to my car when I picked her up, which was so generous. Genevieve also had the best time with them, and was very happy and relaxed. I’ll definitely be asking Arsenii to help out again in the future. Fully recommend him!!”
“Jessica was so amazing!! I felt so confident with my sweet girl Daisy being in her and her daughter’s hands. She got so much love and care. Jessica was so in tune with her needs and incredible at communicating with me. I could tell Daisy was so happy and comfortable. Highly recommend Jessica!”
“Natasha and Hamir took wonderful care of our beagle mix. They sent updates and photos daily. He was very comfortable with them which made our trip more enjoyable to know he was in such great care.”
“Richard and Karen continue to be amazing. I appreciate how much they enjoy watching Maeve, and the feeling is mutual - her whole butt wagged when we walked up to their door for drop off! I know she feels comfortable there and I trust them 100%. Thank you both!”
“Maddie was wonderful! Took perfect care of Sasha and checked in often about her during her stay. She was also very understanding and accomodating to some unfortunate tummy troubles Sasha had. Would definitely recommend Maddie!”
“Stephanie was great! She watched our 11 month old German Shepherd puppy on very short notice when we had to put our older dog to sleep and wanted some time for her to have the house to herself. Stephanie is very knowledgeable about dogs and is very friendly. She has a nice set up with a fenced in yard that Odin liked to play in. He also got to play with some of the other dogs she was watching. He had a blast and didn’t want to leave!”
“Thank you Sam! She’s our go to for help with our puppy Ruby - Sam is so sweet with her as she takes a while to warm up to new people, she takes very good care of Ruby, reaches out with questions and always follows our sometimes wordy instructions!”
“Barbara took wonderful care of Bernie during our long trip. She stayed in touch via photos and videos and showed us that he was well taken care of and was having a good time at her home. I would highly recommend her.”
“Grace was excellent with our dog, Leni. He had some serious separation anxiety when we dropped him off and went on a hunger strike for several days. Not only did Grace keep us hell informed, she went above and beyond in trying to make Leni feel comfortable in her home and went as far as spoon feeding him to get him to eat. We're so thankful for all that she did to take care of Leni. I would highly recommend Grace to anyone looking for a loving and caring home in which to leave their pup while traveling. Thank you, Grace!!”
“Sridevi is a great host for my kitten, Mochi! He stayed with them over the holidays. She made him feel at home with lots of care and toys and activities. She provided frequent videos and photos and kept me updated. She also provided video call. Highly recommended!”
“Thank you Lieb and family for taking such great care of Rocket. I can tell he had a terrific time with you while we were away. And thanks for the pictures and updates etc! We really appreciate your dedication to the dogs.”
About: Hi! I’m Jess, and if my friends had to describe me, they’d probably say I’m the human version of a golden retriever friendly, energetic, loyal, and always excited to make new friends (especially the furry kind!). While I haven’t owned a dog myself, I’ve spent years helping care for dogs belonging to family, friends, and many of my personal training clients. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, or simply keeping them company, I genuinely love spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. As a personal trainer and health coach, I’m very active, dependable, and attentive to details. I’ll treat your dog like family and make sure they get plenty of exercise, affection, and care while you’re away. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I would be honored to be that person for your furry family member. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine right now. I currently have a flexible schedule and am looking to stay active and productive throughout the summer while doing something I genuinely enjoy. I love animals and see pet sitting and dog walking as an opportunity to help both pets and their owners. I know many people have vacations, family events, long workdays, and summer plans, and it can be stressful worrying about leaving a beloved pet behind. My goal is to provide loving, dependable care so pet parents can enjoy their time away with peace of mind, knowing their furry family member is getting plenty of attention, exercise, companionship, and affection. As someone who is active, responsible, and caring, I enjoy spending time outdoors, going for walks, and giving pets the love and attention they deserve. I look forward to helping families this summer while building meaningful connections with both pets and their owners. 🐾💛 When caring for pets in my client’s home, I do my best to keep their routine as normal and stress free as possible. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, medications, playtime, and any special needs. I make sure pets have fresh water, a clean environment, plenty of exercise, and lots of love and attention throughout the day. Every pet has a unique personality, so I take the time to build trust and make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owner is away. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playing fetch, cuddling on the couch, or simply having someone nearby, I’m happy to accommodate their needs. As a personal trainer and health coach, I lead an active lifestyle and love spending time outdoors, making me a great fit for dogs who enjoy walks and playtime. I also understand how important pets are to their families, so I treat every animal as if they were my own and provide regular updates, photos, and communication so owners can have peace of mind while they’re away. 🐾💛
“Nahomie did an incredible job taking care of Lucy while we were away for a week! Nahomie is so warm and caring, a great communicator and her house is impeccably clean and in a quiet area close to a nearby park. She made sure that Lucy had her daily walks, meals, medicines and supplements right on schedule. We could tell that Lucy was so well taken care of and happy—we couldn’t have done a better job ourselves! Regular pictures and detailed check-ins about their daily adventures also helped us feel reassured that Lucy was having the best time possible. Would definitely recommend and bring Lucy back to Nahomie for sitting again!”
About: Looking for more than just a quick walk or a busy kennel? I provide personalized, one-on-one care tailored to your dog's personality, age, and energy level. Whether your dog enjoys a neighborhood walk, a wooded trail hike, a sniff walk, puzzle games, fetch, or simply relaxing with companionship, my goal is to make every visit enjoyable, enriching, and stress-free. I have over 14 years of hands-on experience with dogs, including supervising groups of up to 30 dogs in a professional dog daycare and caring for puppy groups under 4 months old. For more than five years, I also organized dog hikes throughout Westchester County, NY, and Fairfield County, CT, giving dogs a safe, structured, and fun way to exercise and explore. My experience is strongest with Golden Retrievers, Labrador Retrievers, Doodles, Cavaliers, and other friendly companion breeds that thrive with individualized attention, exercise, enrichment, and companionship. While I welcome many different breeds, I always schedule a meet-and-greet first to make sure we're the right fit for each other. My own Golden Retriever, Kobi, was my best friend and adventure partner for over 12 years. Together we explored hiking trails, beaches, kayaking trips, road trips from Maine to Florida, and countless daily walks. He taught me that every dog is an individual with unique needs, and that is exactly how I care for every dog I meet. I believe many dogs are happier with personalized care than large-group environments. Over the years, I have learned to read canine body language, recognize stress signals, manage different personalities, and create a calm environment where dogs feel safe and comfortable. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, oral medications, and dogs that simply need extra patience and attention. My home has a fenced yard for supervised outdoor time and is just a five-minute walk from beautiful wooded trails. I intentionally keep boarding and daycare small by accepting only one guest dog at a time, or two dogs from the same family, so every dog receives plenty of supervision, affection, exercise, and individual attention. I also have a playpen available for puppies and young dogs who benefit from structured rest time. My apartment is on the second floor, so dogs should be be comfortable using stairs. While living in England, I helped care for a Golden Retriever, and later in Spain, I cared for a Yorkshire Terrier. These experiences, together with years of owning dogs, leading dog hikes, and working professionally in dog daycare, have given me experience with many different breeds, personalities, and energy levels. My approach combines practical experience with a calm, patient mindset. I am certified in Reiki and Emotion Code energy work and believe dogs thrive when they feel safe, understood, and respected. While every visit focuses first on your dog's physical needs, I also pay close attention to their emotional well-being. Services I offer: • Dog walking • Adventure walks and hikes (up to 2 hours) • 30-60 minute drop-in visits • Puppy visits and enrichment activities • Limited home daycare • Limited boarding for approved dogs For everyone's safety and comfort, I require a meet-and-greet before accepting new clients. I look forward to meeting you and giving your dog the same love, attention, and care that I gave my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I am self-employed as a bookkeeper and real estate agent, which allows me to work primarily from home and maintain a flexible schedule. While I occasionally leave the house for appointments, errands, or property showings, I am able to plan my schedule around the needs of the pets in my care. This flexibility allows me to provide frequent potty breaks, exercise, playtime, companionship, and close supervision for dogs staying in my home. I provide a safe, calm, and personalized environment with plenty of individual attention. My home has a fenced yard for supervised outdoor time, and I live just a 5-minute walk from wooded trails for walks and adventures. Dogs have access to a comfortable sofa, toys, and puzzle games for enrichment and mental stimulation. I live in a second-floor apartment, so dogs should be comfortable using stairs. I only accept 1 dogs at a time or 2 from the same family to ensure each dog receives plenty of supervision, exercise, and companionship.
“Sara was the perfect choice for Dory while we were visiting town. She was focused on ensuring she understood Dory’s needs before and during her stay. Dory came home happy and tired… and Sara provided us with great reports during her stay and at pickup. We highly recommend!”
“We were very pleased with Jadyn and her care for our 100 pound Cane Corso. This was the first time we had used Rover for these services and were were nervous, but Jadyn was very calm and reassuring. She kept us up to date on his care with pictures and messages. She did an outstanding job!”
“Kristine was an exemplary and loving sitter. We felt very much at ease leaving our Luna girl with her. She was extremely communicative with us, sending pictures of Luna and letting us know how Luna was settling in and having fun over the course of her stay. Her attentiveness shows that she puts herself into the dog owner’s shoes and that goes a long way! It was our first time leaving Luna for an extended amount of time and it was tremendous peace of mind for us knowing she was in the perfect place–a home in a tree lined quiet residential area with barely any traffic with a caring person and family. Luna is an elderly dog and Kristine was gentle and sensitive to Luna’s needs as she moves more slowly than a puppy or a toddler dog! She also connected with us to take Luna to our vet nearby to check on something with her paw and included us on all communications to ensure she was taking all the right steps for Luna’s wellbeing. Kristine went above and beyond and we have zero qualms about being a repeat client! Thank you for taking amazing care of our baby girl! ~ Marni & Tom”
“Hayden is a very kind and easy going. We love his flexibility and accommodating approach to dog sitting. Zorra enjoys her time with Hayden and family. We trust Hayden implicitly with our baby and would highly recommend him to anyone.”
