About: I am a lifetime lover and owner of dogs. While other kids watched Saturday morning cartoons, I watched shows about dog training and dog breeds. I grew up around dogs of all types and have always loved having one by my side. Our family recently lost our dog, and while I’m not ready to commit to dog ownership full time, I miss having one around and want to help other families. I have experience walking different types of dogs that have varying levels of leash skills, managing special dietary and medication needs and can adapt to their activity requirements. If you have a dog that’s used to being part of an active family, or at least around one, I could be a great fit for you. I shared availability that accommodates long weekend boarding needs. This is when I consistently work from home or am off so that I can be around and give your dog the best care. You can expect regular breaks and walks for your dog on my work from home days. On the weekends, I will include your dog in my family activities. While busy, I am at our home base a lot, and much of the activity involves walking the borough, going on mini adventures in nearby parks, or hanging at our house with friends. Including a furry guest into my family-centered lifestyle is easy (and fun!) for me to do. I have a fenced in yard, live in an extremely walkable neighborhood, and have a gated off mudroom when your dog needs a little more space or down time. My kids understand animal boundaries well for their age and are used to respecting their space. While they will not be responsible for your dog’s care, they will be around. My cat is suspicious, but typically tolerant of dogs once he gets used to them.
“Donte was very kind and helped me out with a last minute weekend booking. He took on my dog and accommodated her easily. I had to ask for pictures and videos a few times but overall worked out great!”
“Eleanor Kevin and their extended family of lovely children were great with our 2 labradoodles during our extended stay. They showered our dogs with love and playtime. They were very communicative through the whole process, flexible around a last minute pick up time request and were also very kind sending pictures to us. We know our dogs had a blast and we know we will be going to them in the future!”
“Diana was amazing with our pups. It was such a last minute need when we found out my mom had Covid and couldn’t watch our 2 dogs for Memorial Day weekend. Diana was right there. She took them in, cared for them, took pictures and asked essential questions. The pups were happy and healthy when picked up and clearly had a great weekend. We are so grateful for her and would highly recommend her to anyone.”
“Richard and his family were awesome! They treated Zoey with love and care! Sent pictures often and gave her lots of snuggles and love! I recommend him highly!!!”
“Laura was the absolute best!! I couldn’t ask for a better person and environment for my dog. I didn’t have to worry at all while I was away - I was confident that my dog was being loved and cared for. Thank you!”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care our dog received! Craig was absolutely amazing—attentive, kind, and clearly a true animal lover. From the start, communication was excellent. He asked all the right questions about our dog’s routine, preferences, and quirks, which immediately put us at ease. While we were away, he sent photos of how happy our dog was. It was clear our pup was getting lots of attention, exercise, and love. Craig is a true professional. We highly recommend Craig to anyone looking for reliable, compassionate pet care. We’ll definitely be booking again!”
“Khaing took such good care of our beloved cat! As a first time Rover user, she was so helpful regarding processes on the booking itself, and of course how she would care for our Kitty. From her regular updates and photos, I can tell he had an absolutely delightful stay - and it was a vacation for him! Her set up is absolutely wonderful for a cat, with multiple cat trees and lots of engaging toys. Khaing is an excellent communicator, and a fantastic cat sitter with a big heart.”
“Meredith took great care of our dog Taco! He enjoyed his stay with her. He liked being out in the yard and all the pets and snuggles he was given. She took him on walks, spent time with him and was able to give his meds in his pill pockets. We would use her again!”
“This is my first time using this website. It was last minute. Zenith accepted my request. Zenith is an excellent sitter, she took great care of my princess. She keep communicating with updates. I would highly recommend her, and would certainly use her services in the future. Thank you Zenith.”
“We had a funeral to attend to and found Yuiko on Rover last minute. We were so pleased with Yuiko’s attentiveness and the numerous pictures we received during our out of town funeral. It put me at ease and was so comforting to know our dog was well cared for. Picking up our dog was easy , punctual and a bitter sweet goodbye. My dog appeared to be well fed and happy upon returning home. We will definitely book again with Yuiko.”
“This was the first time I left My young Frenchie with anyone and I was very nervous. Aaron was interested in getting to know her before the trip and he was organized and communicative. When I picked her up she was comfortable there and she was fine! I will 100% leave her with Aaron again. Very thankful to find someone who cares a lot about taking care of her.”
“Christine did a great job with my nervous dog Mochi especially since this was our first time leaving Mochi with anyone. Thank you Christine for your special care of Mochi and look forward to bringing Mochi over again!”
“Corra had the best time with Dolly and her sons. She was well taken care of with plenty of walks and cuddles. Dolly also kept us updated with frequent pictures. Will definitely book Dolly again !!”

About: I have devoted my life to learning about animal behavior and enrichment, and I am always eager to use this knowledge to give any pet I care for the best time possible. I have cared for several species over the course of my life, including dogs, cats, fish, rodents, birds, reptiles and more. I am also someone who is very passionate about dog training using fun, reward-focused techniques to build a strong relationship and help work through any challenges a pup may have. I have volunteered at multiple animal shelters, where I cared for both dogs and cats through cleaning their enclosures, walking them, playing with them and ensuring their needs were met. Overall, I have a very well-rounded knowledge of what it takes to go above and beyond for any pet I’m working with. I am currently in college and I plan for pet sitting to be my major professional focus during this time, so rest assured that your pet will be my top priority when it comes to my work schedule! Because of my intense love for animals, I am always happy and willing to fit any pet into my daily routine and I try to keep an open schedule to accommodate your care needs. Your pet’s safety and happiness is my top priority in all situations. Whether I am in your home, going for a walk, or just checking in, all of my energy will go to making sure that your pet is having the best time possible in a kind, supportive environment. Every pet I look after is treated with the same amount of love and care that I give my own on a daily basis.

I love to go on hikes and explore, so any energy level for your dog is great. I also own my own car and have a license so transportation will not be a problem. I am willing to travel to walk dogs if that helps. Hope to be able to walk dogs as a part-time second job (I am registered nurse as my full-time job) and am willing to work for whatever rate you choose. Please consider me for your dog walking needs. Thank you!

“Ben, Julie, Winter and Rosy were wonderful hosts to Sox! Thank you for taking great care of him - having that peace of mind makes traveling a whole lot easier. I know Sox had a great time!! Thank you again and I have no hesitation in recommending Ben!”
“I knew Kate before I found out that she was a dog sitter, which was great since I liked her from the start. Kate is mellow, kind, soft spoken, and easy to talk to. These are the perfect qualities that I wanted for my tender and loving Sunshine. Kate bonded with her in the most gentle way to make our special girl comfortable. Kate deserves not just 5 stars but accolades for making “us” relaxed/reassured with daily communication and such terrific pictures when we were away. I sincerely commend her and already told her about our next vacation. Anyone who wants or needs to be away from their dog should book Kate without hesitation!”
“Carly is truly an exceptional animal carer. During my dogs' weeklong stay with Carly, she provided thoughtful and kind updates with lots of photos about my buddies' stay with her. She was also very flexible and professional.”
“Emelie took great care of our dog Stanley for his first night away from us. She let us do a meet and greet and was able to answer our questions ahead of the stay. There were a couple of other dogs there which was great for Stanley, who is a very social pup. Her house is set up well for the dogs with a big yard and different rooms inside. We plan to bring Stanley back!”
“All the hype about Dante is true! He’s communicative, accommodating, and really great energy. He asks a lot of questions to ensure my Kado was well taken care of. Dante is someone who truly loves what he does and that makes me happy. I think Kado and I found a permanent sitter until Dante retires us lol”
“We can’t thank you all enough for taking such good care of Candy❤️ And for being so understanding of our circumstances It is a huge weight off our hearts to know candy has a home away from home in the future Thanks again Francine, Heidi and all”
“Tamikia was a breath of fresh air. She was very welcoming and cared for our Bella like one of her own..She gave updates and sent pictures the entire stay. I highly recommend her services. Bella also was taken for walks and fed great. We are glad we chose Tamikia. Don't hesitate with your pets for her care/ services.”
“Thalita is the absolute best! We have used her for overnight dog sitting multiple times. I truly wouldn’t trust anyone else except Thalita to watch our dog. I can’t recommend her enough!!”
