“First time we ever had to leave for a whole month and could not take Hattie with us. So happy to have found Nina and Augustine. Their little family took Hattie right in and gave her a home away from home. Hattie and Clementine just hit it off too. Constant photos and videos of Hattie that made us wonder if she might get bored when we took her back home. If you are looking for a relaxed family atmosphere for your dog with a built in playmate in a safe place look no further. Recommend very highly.”
“Diana is a lovely person and did great with our 2 dogs. This was our first time bringing them to a sitter and she made us feel at ease. She is very communicative and flexible, and sent us daily updates. I highly recommend her and we will definitely be booking again on our next trip!”
“Rene always takes great care of Cory. She noticed that he was itchy and has some skin irritation so asked if he could have some Benadryl, and always sends pics and videos of him playing and having a great time.”
“Brody absolutely loved staying with Danae! Usually when I pick him up he’s excited to leave but in this case he was sad to leave his friends ❤️. If you are a crazy obsessed dog owner like me, I strongly recommend that you book with Danae- your pet will be in wonderful, caring hands!”
“She was absolutely amazing! She accepted our booking at the very last minute and still took the time to keep us constantly updated on his behavior throughout the entire week. I am super grateful to have had her watch my baby doggy. Highly recommend!”
“Robert did a great job with our pups! He took them on lots of adventures, gave them plenty of opportunity to play outside in the yard, and kept us updated with pictures, etc. Also, he was so kind and flexible when our flight back home got delayed! We will definitely be using him again when we go out of town.”
“We are very happy to ask Maureen for our Chamonix. Maureen was waiting for us in front of her house to do a first meeting before sitting. She’s very reliable and responsible. She kindly updated how Chamonix’s doing through her stay. We will definitely return to her if we needs someone next time.”
“Our senior pup was well cared for during his staycation with Doreen. Doreen was kind, professional and kept us informed of how our boy was doing during his stay. Highly recommend Doreen!”
“Sunny is the best caregiver. Attends to all details and takes notes for any quirks and preferences. I feel as close to my dog as when I am at home because she constantly gives updates with details and pictures/videos.”
“We loved having Rafaelina and her family watch Turbo for the weekend. She provided lots of love and exercise for Turbo and she came home very happy and tired. Rafaelina provided many photo and updates throughout the weekend and made sure she understood our dogs schedule and preferences. Would definitely book again. THANK YOU!!!”
“Anat is the best! She took great care of Freddie, sent updates and photos, and assisted with pick and drop off. Thanks to Anat we could travel without worry. See you on our next vacation 🙏”
“We couldn't ask for a better dog sitter! Jax is treated like part of the family every time he stays, and it gives us complete peace of mind whenever we're away. We never have to worry because we know he's in the best hands. The biggest sign of all is how excited and happy he is every time we drop him off. We highly recommend Kevin and he wonderful family to anyone looking for someone who will truly love and care for their dog!”
“So happy I found Jennifer to care for my 2 dogs while I was away. I have only ever left them with family and was more than a little nervous. However after the meet and greet I was confident they would be in good hands. The daily updates were great and put my mind at ease that they were being well taken care of. Thank you Jennifer!”
“Charmaine is great!! Friendly, professional, great communication. Our 10-yr old chihuahua mix was in good hands and we received daily updates and photos, which were much appreciated!!! Thanks Charmaine!!!”
“What a great experience. I love getting updates, and being reassured that my pup is having a good time and also getting what he needs. Valerie is conscientious, for example, she walked my dog before I came to make sure that he had his needs met before a long drive with me. Got an along well with her dog, in a family setting with a backyard — really appreciate her care.”
“I had a fantastic experience with Andrew while he watched my dog for the week. Andrew truly cares about the dogs he looks after. He was very considerate of our dog’s needs and extremely responsible throughout her stay. She got in plenty of walking time, which she loves. It was great to hear how well she got along with his dogs and he sent picture everyday and kept us informed of her experience. It made me feel more at ease knowing she was in such a comfortable and friendly environment. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with him again.”
“It was my first time using the Rover app and needed someone to care for my 6 month old puppy. It is scary for me to leave her in a kennel, her being so small. I am pleasantly pleased with the services provided by Raymond. His calm demeanor and welcoming spirit made the process for my puppy so much easier. She loved her time with him and his family and I am extremely happy to say I will be utilizing Raymond in the future. Looking forward to working with Raymond again!”
“We’re very happy with Liza. She was very conscientious and loving with our dog. From the very start, we felt completely comforted knowing that he was in such good hands. She provided daily updates with pictures and videos throughout our 10-day trip. We will definitely book her again!”
“Stephanie was fantastic! Super easy to work with and was very communicative. She was kind enough to bathe our dog sunny after they went outside and had some tics. Sunny seemed to have a very good time and loved Stephanie 😊”

“This was our first time using Rover, and Danae was exceptional! She kept us updated with our cats, and she was flexible when we had to make adjustments to our care plan. Highly recommend!!”
“Abhilash was reliable, communicative, and took wonderful care of our three cats, including a new 7-month-old kitten on his first time alone! Even with some kitten mischief, he handled everything patiently and kept us updated throughout. We came home to happy pets and a clean, well-cared-for home. We felt completely at ease knowing our trio were in good hands and will definitely book with him again. Highly recommend!”
“Helena did a wonderful job watching my senior dog for a week. She was incredibly attentive to her specific routine and slower pace. I received regular updates and photos, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. It is clear Helena truly cares about animals. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a compassionate and reliable pet sitter.”
“Maria took excellent care of our cat for a week, 2 visits a day. She was there like clockwork - and sent us photos, which we loved. I appreciated how communicative she was, especially with a snowstorm coming. Would 100 % use her again.”
“Bella was the perfect sitter for my baby while I was away. I was never worried about her in the slightest and it was such an amazing piece of mind to know that Bella had her in good hands. I can’t recommend her enough!”
About: I have a deep appreciation for animals, which stems from growing up with various pets. I've had dogs and cats I trained and cared for since they were puppies or kittens. Even had a pair of parrots, turtles, and a snake! My genuine respect for animals is why friends and family continue to trust in my enthusiasm to extend reliable and loving care to their little ones. I hope to provide you with the same peace of mind that your pawed bestie will receive a happy and nurturing experience. **Please note: I am not offering pet boarding at my home. I will go to your home for Drop-In Visits or House Sitting (no overnights). I have found it's less stressful for your little one(s) if they are in a familiar environment. I currently work part-time with flexible hours, so I can be free to meet your pet's schedule! With advanced notice, I can try to accommodate any schedule. I want to carefully learn your pet(s) routine so I can provide a similar environment for them. I know it can be nerve wracking leaving them behind, so I'll make sure you receive updates from your bestie!
“Jocelyn did a great job taking care of our three cats and we would definitely reach out to her again the next time we go on vacation. Jocelyn is very responsive and attentive and we would highly recommend her.”
“Elena was a great pet sitter, I absolutely loved her! She took care of everything my cat needed and that we agreed. She took the time to get to know him and the attention was all focused on him. It was the best sitter I had so far. Definitely booking again! Thanks Elena, it is so great to have peace of mind even leaving the little one.”
“Truly the cat whisperer. I have struggled in the past to find somebody who could not just care for my diabetic cat, but make sure he gets his insulin injections without stressing him out. She took such great care of my fur babies, I am so glad I found her.”
“Andrea was great! She seemed comfortable to be at my place and with my 2 cats which is what I was hoping for! She is kind, caring and enthusiastic! Would absolutely use for future needs and would recommend to anyone needing pet care!”
“Jacqueline is not five but six stars! She truly goes above and beyond! She’s not only reliable—sticking to our schedule perfectly for 10 days, even on Christmas, or during a snowstorm, and freezing cold—but also a sweet, pleasant person to deal with. Her excellent communication, updates, and heartwarming cat photos eased our anxiety as first-time users leaving our fur babies. She’s now “our” cat sitter. Highly recommend her! Thank you from the heart.”
“Marta is fantastic! I could tell from the moment I met her that she would be very confident and responsible. We have a very nervous and shy senior cat on prescription food, pill and supplements for kidney disease, and he hid under the bed when she came twice a day and at one point stopped eating. She was very patient and diligent about messaging with me and following instructions for different foods and treats to get him to start eating again. The house looked very neat when we returned. We already booked her for our trip in September!”
About: I use to work at a Doggie Hotel. I worked in the kennel area and use to manage the cleaning as well as the food distribution for every dog in the facility. I love taking care of my neighbors pets while they are away for vacation. I'm very hands on when it comes to puppies and training, I've done similar things at my last job as a kennel worker/day care dog counselor. I own 2 bearded dragon and take care of my parents dog from time to time! I make sure to give them special attention everyday. I make sure that each animal gets love and attention every hour of the day! I make sure that they have eaten, and if not I try to encourage, and make sure they are mentally stimulated with some play time! I also like to incorporate exercise when playing!
“Rene was great with Thor. She didn't let his grumpiness deter her from making sure he was checked in on & fed. She took lots of pictures of Thor which I appreciated. She even checked his litter which was above & beyond what I expected.”
“Doris was great! Very professional and experienced, and kept us updated throughout her check-in/walk. We felt very comfortable having Olive in her care, and we look forward to her looking after Olive again in the future!”
About: Though I have never had a cat on my own, I have lived with one for the past three years and it has been very enjoyable for me. Aside from this, I do have experience with petsitting cats of different temperaments. I’ve worked with incredibly cuddly cats as well as ones who dislike attention, and I believe that I could support your cat according to their individual needs. I can do wet or dry food and well as litter box cleanings! I also have experience working with various exotic and unpredictable animals like snakes, lizards, chinchillas, and more from my nature center summer job. I am always willing to learn about your pet’s individual needs! **a special note about outdoor cats. I do not have much experience with them, so please inform me of any protocols needed.

“Sasha had a great day with Diana (and Wendy). Diana sent updates and photos throughout the day and took great care of Sasha who is very attached to me but seemed really happy to be with Diana too. She was very patient with Sasha too. We will be back for sure.”
About: I’ve been a dog lover since I was six years old, growing up with pets back home in Guatemala. Over the years, I’ve cared for all kinds of dogs—big, small, playful, and shy—and I’ve gained experience with everything from daily walks to giving medication. I currently don’t have pets of my own, which means I can give your dog my full attention. You can expect lots of walks, playtime, love, and regular photo and video updates. I live in a calm, pet-friendly environment and I’m home all the time, so overnight care is never a problem. I’m here to make your dog feel safe, happy, and right at home! I work part-time in the mornings and am free the rest of the day, and I’m available to board your dog anytime that works for you. Since I work nearby, I can easily accommodate your schedule for drop-offs and pick-ups. I spend most of my time at home, giving plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship. I especially enjoy taking dogs on walks—it’s a great way for them to get exercise and have fun. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I love being active with animals and making sure they feel happy and loved all day long. I live in a calm, pet-friendly environment where your dog can feel safe, relaxed, and loved. My home is free of harmful plants and other hazards, I always keep the space clean and comfortable. I have a big yard where I can walk and play with your dog throughout the day, giving them plenty of exercise and attention. I take time to get to know each dog’s personality and needs so they feel right at home. Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities, and I’m happy to follow any routines that help them feel secure. I know trust matters, so I always keep pet parents updated with photos, videos, and clear communication.
“Simone & Sean K were terrific! Kind, attentive to our dog's sensitivities and took great care of her. She had a great day with them. We highly recommend them and will definitely be booking future dates.”
“Ashley and her family did such an amazing job taking care of my 2 year old schnoodle. She welcomed me in and gave me a brief tour and low down of her cozy and immaculate home and yard, and made sure any questions or concerns I have were addressed. She kept open communication with me through the app, and I felt he was in great, safe hands until I picked him up nearly 10 hours later. He took a few walks along with their dog, and had a great time and made new friends. Hope to use them again soon!”
“Valerie took great care of my pup! I appreciated that she was flexible and available for an initial meet and greet. During the care, she sent plenty of updates - photos, videos and was responsive to messages.”
About: I have over 20 years of experience taking care of dogs. I have owned dogs for the past 16 years straight, the last 10 years with two dogs. I have a lot of experience with all types of dogs (from chihuahua to Great Dane) and connect easily with them. After all, I am a dog myself (per the Chinese Zodiac!) Currently I have two rescue dogs: A special needs (epilepsy) Healer/Aussie Shepherd mix named Ace and a senior Supermutt named Maisie. We lost our senior Boston Terrier in early 2023 due to Cushings and Cancer. So, I have experience taking care of dogs from puppy through hospice. Medications and special food needs are no problem. NOTE: As I have two dogs of my own.....if your dog is not well socialized and does not get along with all other dogs, big and small, or has a history of aggressive behavior, please do not put in a "Boarding" booking request. Socialized, friendly dogs only, please. No excessive whiners or barkers and dogs must weigh 35 lbs or less. Thank you! Reliable, Responsible, Mature. I'm currently retired so am able to spend all of my time caring for my animals (and yours). The most i'll ever leave the house for is 2-3 hours for an appointment, but this is rare. We start our days with breakfast at 7am, take a morning hike in the woods or trails or town. Then some relax time at home before lunch and a 1pm neighborhood walk. Then more home time and play or naps until our 4pm hike. Then dinner at 5. All meal times adjustable for your dog's needs. I am able to be home 99% of the time so am always able to focus on the pets needs. I have been an animal lover my whole life and care deeply about the health and well being of animals in my care or under my stewardship. We live close to many hiking trails and nature preserves so the dogs always get plenty of sniff walks and exercise and socialization. Always on leash and always careful of meeting unknown dogs that may be receptive. I'm pretty good at sussing out a dog's behavior signals, if we should meet or not, after so many years.
“Tracy is on top of his game. Communication and care for our pup was thoughtful and clearly executed. Bear is a covid pup and anxious in new environments, but she quickly warmed up to Tracy. Bear looks forward to her next visit!”
“Omar is AMAZING!! Walter felt at ease from the first moment they met. He walked right in as if he has known Omar all his life. He looked forward to seeing him every morning. Omar kept me informed throughout the day which I truly love and appreciate. Cannot say enough great things about Omar. 100% recommend!”
“I had to extend Gaucho’s stay for a day at the last minute because of travel and Jennifer and James were very gracious and kept my rambunctious little guy entertained for a few extra hours. I know Gaucho had a great time because he immediately and happily passed out from exhaustion when we got home.”
“The best! She does a great job and our dogs had such a wonderful time. Their excitement was our confirmation. She’s great and has a very sweet and kind persona. We will absolutely book her again! Thank you Jocelyn.”
About: What sets us apart is how much we genuinely love dogs. We are dog parents ourselves, so we understand how much trust it takes — and how worrying it can feel — to leave your dog in someone else’s care. For us, dog sitting is more than just feeding and walking. We love spending time with them, playing with them, and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. Because we know how much owners miss and worry about their dogs, we always try to send photo updates in the morning and evening so you can see how your pup is doing and feel at ease. We have hands-on experience caring for different breeds, including Samoyeds, Weimaraners, Shetland Sheepdogs, and Golden Retrievers. Since we have friendly and social dogs of our own, we carefully supervise all interactions and focus on creating a safe and positive environment for every dog. We follow each dog’s routine closely and give them the attention, care, and love they deserve. On days I accept bookings, I’m home all day to give dogs my full attention, provide close supervision, and make sure they get plenty of walks and care. I provide a calm, safe, and dog-friendly environment in my home. All dogs are closely supervised, especially during playtime and interactions with other dogs. I carefully follow each dog’s routine, including feeding schedules, walks, and rest time. Because I am a dog owner myself, I understand how important safety and trust are. My goal is to make every dog feel comfortable, secure, and cared for like a member of our family.
“Lorenzo is a top notch caregiver for your furry kid. He watched Duke 3 days in a row while I worked. Everyday when I picked Duke up he was happy and tired from all the fun he had. If your looking for quality care, I highly recommend Lorenzo!”
“Had a great doggy daycare visit with Laura this week! Her attention to detail and genuine love of dogs is what has us coming back again. I loved her desire to really get to know my dog and make accommodation for Lola's little quirks and upside-down scheduling. Thanks Laura (and Chris too) for giving us a new safe haven for Lola!!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs for over 17 years. Besides raising my own dogs, I’ve also cared for friends’ dogs for stays ranging from one week to two months. My Goldendoodle loves making new dog friends, and many of our guests have become his best buddies. I work from home most of the week, so I have plenty of time to care for dogs throughout the day. They get regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and lots of attention, and are rarely left alone. I have fenced yard where my dog loves to play fetch. I usually let my dog out around 8am to play until 9am. All the dogs are welcome to join to play together!
“Kiara and her family were wonderful with Zeus! I especially loved seeing how excited her kids were whenever he came over. Kiara was also so accommodating with our schedule! We greatly appreciated her care and flexibility.”
“Our dog Matcha seemed to love her stay with Tatiana! She had plenty of other dogs to spend time with and not worry about how she wasn't at home. If you have a furry friend that doesn't like being home alone for extended hours, I'd recommend Tatiana.”
“We're so happy to have found such a great pet sitter in our new area. Katherine is a gem... very experienced with dogs, dependable, professional, friendly, and really good with our little pup. Our Meggy had so much fun with her on 6 days of daycare, and looked forward to seeing her. They went on many walks and Katherine sent several adorable pictures and videos. We will definitely be calling Katherine again. ?”

About: I love all types of animals all shapes and sizes and welcome them into my home. I would be honored to have your pet in my care and would treat them as if they were my own. I would provide them with anything they needed and any type of service. I would never mistreat any living thing. I am able to care for animals with any type of special needs or if they need to be given any type of medication. I have a very flexible schedule, so if you needed me on very short notice, I would be there without a doubt. I really hope to be taken into consideration when a family needs their pet to be taken care of. I would be a great choice for your dog! 😊 Also, FYI, the prices on my profile can be negotiated, those were just the default settings so I left them as they were, let me know if you want to discuss different prices, I will be totally fine with that! I currently work at a Doggy Daycare/Pet Hotel so I am very used to being around pets of all shapes and sizes! My usual day consists of picking up after all the dogs, making their food feeding them. And of course, playing with them! my favorite part of my job is when it’s camp time for me and the dogs! I hang out with them in a playroom and we have so much fun that they’re so tired by the end of the day! I have a large, fenced yard with plenty of room for your pet to run around as much as they want! I also have a small cat and a pug. My pug is very friendly and will welcome your doggy with open paws 🥰
“Abhilash always takes good care of my dog. I can tell she enjoys it a lot, and he also always takes pictures, and I really like seeing her enjoying the walk in the pictures!”
“Sophie is incredibly friendly and kind. She greeted our large, silly dog warmly. Skylah had a wonderful walk with Sophie. We’re thrilled to have her take care of our furbaby!”
“Bella is wonderful. Not only is she great with my dog (and I'm sure everyone else's) she has her own dogs and cat....so she really understands how pet parents feel. The minute she met my dog, she came into my house, and started brushing him & rubbing his ears...you should have seen his FACE - He nearly fell asleep, lol. She definitely loves animals and she gets it. If she offered boarding/daycare, I'd totally trust her with my dog and I am VERY protective of my dog bc daycares in Riverdale allowed him to be attacked and harmed. She is careful and she actually cares.”
“Lorenzo did an amazing job walking our baby! Latte doesn’t need much: just a little walk to pee and poop and then he’s ready to head back in. He did just that and it was a great help as I work a hybrid schedule so I’m unable to walk Latte when I’m in office. Having someone come over while we’re out of the house and tend to our baby’s schedule is just something we need, especially with such a trustworthy dog handler! Latte was very amicable with Lorenzo, so this is definitely a great start to something new.”
About: I've been caring for dogs and cats since I was six years old and have always played an active role in their daily care. From feeding, walking, and grooming to providing plenty of love and attention, caring for animals has been a natural part of my life. At 16, I began dog walking for friends and neighbors, gaining experience with pets of different sizes, breeds, and personalities. Over the past two years, I've expanded my services to include in-home overnight pet care, allowing pets to stay comfortable and maintain their routines while their owners are away. I genuinely love animals and enjoy building trusting relationships with them. My experience, reliability, and passion for pet care help me provide a safe, loving, and stress-free environment for every pet in my care. I currently work a part-time job with a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time to pet care. I often have two days off during the week and am available in the mornings and evenings before and after work for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, and quality time with your pets. My flexible availability helps me accommodate a variety of schedules while ensuring your pets receive the attention, care, and consistency they deserve. Your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. Before caring for a new pet, I like to do a thorough walkthrough with the owner to learn about their pet's routine, training methods, preferences, and any special instructions. I believe consistency is important, so I strive to maintain the same structure and expectations your pet is used to in their daily life. When entering a client's home, I always proceed carefully, opening doors slowly and ensuring pets cannot slip outside. I make it a priority to keep fresh water available, follow feeding and medication schedules as instructed, and closely monitor pets during walks and outdoor time. If a pet is in the yard, I always check that gates are secure and fencing is safely enclosed before allowing them outside. Above all, I treat every pet with patience, kindness, and plenty of love and attention, helping them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away.
About: I’ve always loved dogs, and started walking them about 6 years ago. Now I’ve mostly worked with senior pets, usually medium sized dogs. I’m always eager to learn more about any animal in my care, and will stay in touch with daily updates. I’m almost always available, and I have plenty of time to give your pet individualized care and attention. If you need me, I’m there for your pet! I prefer to schedule a meeting to meet you and your pet before sitting for them. That way I’m familiar to them, and I can hear directly from you about any special needs, medications, habits, and things to look out for.
About: I have two dogs and have dog sat and walked many times before. I love to go to the waterfront with my dog and take long walks! I am first aid certified in humans and dogs. i hope you plan to book me ! Ps I also work at an emergency vet! I currently work full-time at one vet office . I know all the basics of dog struggling and such but I love to take long walks. I work at an and a primary veterinarian and understand dog behavior. Safety is the number one priority for me. Never let them be off leash
About: Hi all! My name is Lily, and I am finishing up a marine studies degree with an anthropology minor. The things I love the most in the world are animals and children. Most of my previous jobs have been babysitting as well as house and petsitting. For petsitting, I had stayed the night with cats and dogs, just stopped in for feedings, litter box changes, walks, and anything else that could be needed! I have also worked five summers as a camp counselor. After two summers at a regular camp, I got hired to work as a counselor at a nature center near my home town. Here I learned husbandry skills and behaviors of creatures from ferrets, to sulcata tortoises and lizards, to chickens and goats. I am currently an online student and I have asynchronous classes. I have a lot of availability during the week and weekends. I’m sure I will have the time to help out your pets! As of now I am living at home with family. I have boarded friends’ dogs and rabbits before, but I do prefer housesitting or house visits. Our home is currently pet free though, so if boarding is your preferred option please contact me and maybe we can work it out!
About: I have been pet sitting and caring for friends pets since high school. I have taken care of cats, dogs and bunnies. I would love to help take care of your pets! I am available for mornings and afternoons. I work on a shift schedule right so my hours do change but that also means I have a lot of flexibility! I am a very patient person and will always do my best to sense the animals needs. I will let them come to me so they know they are in a safe space. I will follow the instructions left for me by the pets owner.
About: Hi! I’m a caring, reliable, and animal-loving pet sitter with hands-on experience in veterinary and animal care settings. As a pre-vet student, I’ve developed strong skills in animal handling, observation, and compassionate care through clinical and research environments. I worked as a veterinary assistant at Cornell University Specialists, where I gained experience working alongside veterinary professionals and strengthened my understanding of animal health, behavior, and safety. I also have a 11-year-old cockatiel and two cats of my own, so I truly understand the daily care, attention, and trust it takes to look after someone’s pets. I prioritize patience, attentiveness, and routine, making sure every pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, or special care needs, I treat every animal like my own! I am flexible and available throughout the week for dog sitting and house sitting. I am happy to help with daily visits, walks, feeding, and check-ins. I do not offer overnight stays, but I am reliable and willing to help wherever needed during the day. I provide attentive in-home pet care focused on safety, comfort, and routine consistency. I make sure pets are always in a secure environment—checking doors, gates, food access, and removing any hazards. I closely follow owner instructions for feeding, medications, and behavior routines to keep pets stable and stress-free in their home setting. With my basic medical knowledge from animal care experience, I am comfortable recognizing early signs of illness or distress (such as changes in appetite, vomiting, coughing, or lethargy) and responding appropriately by notifying the owner promptly and seeking guidance when needed. My goal is to ensure pets feel safe, cared for, and as close to their normal routine as possible while their owners are away
About: I know your dog is more than just a pet—they're family. That's why I'm committed to providing the same level of care, patience, and attention that I'd want someone to give my own. Who Am I As a long-time pet owner, I understand that caring for a dog goes far beyond providing food, water, and exercise. Dogs thrive on structure, purpose, consistency, and companionship, and I believe these qualities are essential to their overall well-being. My goal is to provide more than just a walk. I strive to make every visit a positive experience by giving your dog the attention, consistent care, and mental stimulation they deserve while you're away. My hope is that your dog feels safe, comfortable, and happy while you enjoy the peace of mind of knowing they're in good hands. How I Got Started My passion for caring for dogs began by helping neighbors and family members with their pets. I later had the opportunity to work for a private pet walking company, where I learned more about professional pet care, punctuality, and the importance of building trust with both dogs and their owners. That experience strengthened my commitment to providing dependable and compassionate care. What Can Clients Expect My goal is simple—to provide your dog with a safe, enjoyable, and positive experience every time I visit. I strive to build trust with every dog through patience, consistency, and genuine care. My hope is to become someone both you and your dog can rely on, while being a positive addition to your dog's quality of life. Thank you for considering me as your dog walker. I look forward to meeting you and your dog very soon! Pet care is a priority in my daily routine. I maintain a flexible schedule so I can accommodate weekday, weekend, and last-minute requests whenever possible. I treat every dog as if they were my own. I follow your instructions closely, maintain a safe environment, and make sure your dog feels comfortable, secure, and well cared for while you're away. My priority is earning your trust by providing dependable and compassionate care.
About: My parents got me my first dog Tokyo, when I was 9 , a beautiful short-haired black and brown mutt and I've been dog-crazy ever since. I recently moved to New York leaving my 10-year-old Great Dane, Maxine, with my parents, which breaks my heart . I mostly work from home, so I absolutely jumped at this opportunity to walk and look after other people's dogs. From dogs that are larger than life, and drag you from place to place (like my own), to the smallest and petite of canines (my sister had a Maltese terrier), I have a life-time of experience . I'm really feeling the absence of my friend and will happily take your dog for some fresh air. I'm an artist, I work from home, so I am fully flexible. I write at night as that's when I'm most inspired so I'd love to use to my days to do something I love. I have a lot of experience with larger dogs, I can crate them, walk them and give them their medication. When it comes to cats, I let them do their thing and give them attention should they ask.

“Rene always takes great care of Cory. She noticed that he was itchy and has some skin irritation so asked if he could have some Benadryl, and always sends pics and videos of him playing and having a great time.”
“She was absolutely amazing! She accepted our booking at the very last minute and still took the time to keep us constantly updated on his behavior throughout the entire week. I am super grateful to have had her watch my baby doggy. Highly recommend!”
“Robert did a great job with our pups! He took them on lots of adventures, gave them plenty of opportunity to play outside in the yard, and kept us updated with pictures, etc. Also, he was so kind and flexible when our flight back home got delayed! We will definitely be using him again when we go out of town.”
“Our senior pup was well cared for during his staycation with Doreen. Doreen was kind, professional and kept us informed of how our boy was doing during his stay. Highly recommend Doreen!”
“Charmaine is great!! Friendly, professional, great communication. Our 10-yr old chihuahua mix was in good hands and we received daily updates and photos, which were much appreciated!!! Thanks Charmaine!!!”
“Stephanie was fantastic! Super easy to work with and was very communicative. She was kind enough to bathe our dog sunny after they went outside and had some tics. Sunny seemed to have a very good time and loved Stephanie 😊”
About: I've been taking care of dogs my whole life and they all have good experiences and they are very comfortable with me. I love dogs Pet care is already part of my daily routine. I have my own dog, Ziggy, and I’ve had my service dog, Eclipse, for two years. Living with and caring for dogs every day has taught me patience, responsibility, and how to understand each dog’s unique needs. As I prepare for college, I have a flexible schedule and look forward to providing dependable, loving care for your pets. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. As the owner of Ziggy and my service dog, Eclipse, I’ve learned how important routine, patience, and positive care are. I’ll carefully follow your instructions, provide lots of walks, playtime, and attention, and make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Amazing host! They offered a meet and greet before boarding. During boarding, they shared many photos and updates such as what they’ve played and their appetite. I felt very comfortable having them watch over my dog.”
“Henry and Kyungwon did an excellent job watching Coco. They made sure her medicine was given on time and sent regular updates. Coco was calm and content when we returned. We plan to use Henry and Kyungwon again.”
“William and his family have been amazing. I received updates and pictures every day I was away from my pitty and will absolutely be sending her back in the future. Thanks again William!”
“Alexis and her husband took great care of my fur babies. They spoiled them and shared their special moments with me. My doggies are super happy and had a great time. I highly recommend her. Thank you, Alexis.”
“Thandi took wonderful care of my family's dog while we were away for vacation. She's friendly, responsive and conscientious, and sent regular updates and pictures.”
“This was an amazing experience! Our dog Max is very hyper and loves the attention of people. Lorezno assured he would take good care of our pup. While Max does enjoy playing with other dogs its great knowing Lorenzo only boards one dog at a time. Pictures were provided of the boarding space as well as daily updates. Great environment for boarding as well as a lovely neighborhood”
“Kiara has a lovely home with a backyard which is a huge plus in my eyes. My dog gets nervous/shy when going to new places and she was really great with him. I definitely plan to return and highly recommend her!”
“Tracy was kind, super responsive and great with our dog! He has a great setup in his yard and home. He gave me great photo and written updates during her stay. Will definitely use Tracy again.”
“Dana provided wonderful care for Axl, our Brittany spaniel who is full of energy. She sent updates and photos daily, so we knew he was happy and in good hands. She’s experienced, knowledgeable, and her loving care enabled us to enjoy our vacation without worrying about him. Highly recommend Dana and plan to use her for our future vacation coverage needs.”
