9. Lauren P.
“Lauren is an energetic and truly caring person. She’s fantastic with dogs and other pets (all animals actually) providing them with immense love and care as if they are her own. Not only does she tend to their needs, but is great at educating and teaching as well. You might come home to find your pup has learned a new trick or command after a visit or two from Lauren. While she incorporates her own flair on the job, she is respectful of your specific commands and requests. Don’t hesitate to contact her for any needs you might have - you will be more than happy with her services and pleasant attitude!”

I would highly recommend Nicole to anyone who is looking for a dog walker/sitter. She is great!”

About: I am available to sit both cats and dogs. I know how hard it is to leave your fur babies when you are out of town. Cats and dogs have their routines that help to keep them feeling safe and secure. While you are unable to care for your pet for whatever reason, I can visit them and provide excellent care for them. This will help to give you piece of mind knowing that they are well cared for, and not too lonely while your not home. I have 2 cats of my own, and a dog. I have loved and cared for animals my entire life, and will treat yours like my very own. I used to volunteer and the North Shore Animal League taking shelter dogs for much needed walks. I enjoyed it just as much as they did!! I’m highly responsible and love to care for all animals.


12. Robert L.
“RJ is fantastic! He's super flexible with scheduling, which is a huge help with our busy work life. Plus, he always sends me updates and adorable pictures of Skye's walks. I love knowing that my dog is in such good hands. RJ's communication is top-notch, and he clearly loves what he does. My older dog is blind so its a little difficult to take her on walks, however RJ does a great job with her in making sure she is happy and enjoys here back yard strolls.”


13. William B.
“Bill is one of the most amazing people and works so well with peoples pets. Whenever I am not available to see one of my clients and I suggest him to take over. I’ve seen him care for a multitude of different dogs and handle each and every one of them with amazing love and care. Highly recommend”


14. Iyana H.
About: I’ve assisted my mom during her Rover experience for two years, I’ve rescued and TNR’d neighborhood street cats for two years, and I have a 7 year old and a 5 year old dog. I’m a full-time college student going to school Tuesdays and Thursday, the other five days of the week I’m home taking care of my own dogs (or working), in which I’m responsible for providing medication for my dogs, feeding them, bathing them, and walking them. I currently am not offering to Pet Sit in my own home as my dogs struggle to connect and be friendly with animals they do not know, but when watching other peoples dogs I take the same precautions as I would with my own dogs as you can never guarantee their behavior and how they respond to situations or other people. I would ensure the environment is safe, and if we go out into the community, I would be aware of my surroundings and take every precaution as if they were my own.


15. Karitza G.
About: Animals are family and family should never be forgotten. I would care for them as if they were my own, that’s why I would be the perfect person to take care of your fur baby! They would get so much love, affection, my undivided attention and more! I can set up times for walks, playtime and exercising. I can work Thursday’s and Friday's at any time, even overnight and for the rest of the week. I’m available at random times, all I need is a text and I can tell you my availability! And if you have an upcoming vacation I would be glad to set aside my schedule to meet yours. I am also trying to start my own business for pet sitting so feel free to contact me at any time!


16. Eli & Tara P.
“Eli is amazing with animals. He has always had a pet and provided training along with a nurturing and safe environment. Eli would be an excellent caregiver, as he is very attentative to the needs and love required to care for aninals.”




17. Daniel S.

“Dan (and Denise) are about as big hearted as you can get. They have watched over my Vizlsa multiple times and while it pains me to say, my little girl looks at me with those eyes when I come to pick her up as if to say.., "cmon dad, do we have to leave?" She clearly loves it there, and if you know Vs, they can be quite energetic! Walks are abundant, but the big expansive fenced in back yard is the selling point. We live in Brooklyn so off leash opportunities are far and few in between...so going to uncle Dan's is a treat. My V is sensitive when it comes to food allergies and Dan understands that, she is always well fed never shows signs of being fed table scraps.The enjoyment is mutual which is important. It is more of a temporary adoption as than a dog vacay,..as my V instantly becomes part of their family. They are loving and patient and it shows. I fully endorse Dan to be your four legged host. You won't regret it.”


18. Farrah L.
“I have known Farrah Leone and her close-knit family for years. Farrah possesses all the qualities you hope to see in more young adults her age. Farrah is responsible, respectful, kind, caring, creative, hard-working and most of all her love of nature, our environment, and all animals is without a doubt inspiring. She has babysat for both my daughter & my dogs & I would highly recommend her for any & all jobs that she commits to! I guarantee you will delighted in hiring Farrah!!!”


19. Jennifer C.

“Jenn was great! It was last minute and she was very accommodating! Brea loved her! She is super sweet! Texted me after the walk to let me know all went well! Will definitely use again! Thank you!!”
