“Krstine is AMAZING. This was our first time hiring a dog walker/sitter outside of the family and I could not have chosen a better person than Kristine. She is so caring and attentive and you can tell is a true animal lover. She made sure to know everything there was to know about my dog, made sure the temperature in our home was cool enough for her, made sure her water bowl was full and she had her pre-approved treats, and sent me updates and pictures. Every picture my baby had the biggest smile on her face and I am so happy to have found someone that I quickly came to trust so completely with her. Thank you Kristine!”
“Lyndsey was super! I requested her help late Monday night and she answered right away and was able to help us for the week starting the next day! She was super attentive, listened to my novels, and handled our new pup with ease despite his sometimes less than perfect behavior on walks. She showed up on time, paid attention to Hudson’s preferences, and was super communicative with me while I was away. I knew Hudson was in good hands and he now has a new friend both he and I appreciate more than we can say! We’ll definitely be using Lyndsey again and have already recommended her to friends!”

“Thank you Caroline for being available last minute! She was able to handle my crazy, energetic pitbull with ease and also took great photos! Would highly recommend her.”

“I can't say enough great things about Jorge! He treated my two dogs as if they were his own. That was not easy with one very senior dog and a one year old. No hesitation highly recommending himm.”

About: I have been around pets all my life I love to go on long walks, I believe that pets are our companions and should therefore be cared and treated as such. Going the extra mile for them means the world for me considering they are always there for us during both our highest and lowest moments in life. I am available daily for walks during the morning and afternoon. Being active is apart of my lifestyle and incorporating it by walking pets makes it even more enjoyable. I will keep an eye on all pets assigned to me which will not be a problem since I love playing with pets, and keeping them active. I will especially keep a close eye on puppies and kittens as I know from personal experience that they are very curious and need constant care.

About: I’m a college student with 4 years experience who loves dogs, enjoys spending time playing with them, and really likes meeting and caring for new dogs whenever I get the chance. I have experience caring for dogs and puppies through helping family members with their pets, including feeding, walking, playtime, and providing loving, reliable care to keep pets safe, happy, comfortable, and well cared for.” I follow a daily schedule to care for my cats, including feeding them in the morning and evening, cleaning litter boxes regularly, providing fresh water, and spending time playing and bonding with them throughout the day. I provide a safe, trustworthy, and comfortable environment for pets by following their routine closely, ensuring their space is clean and secure, giving them fresh food and water, and offering gentle, attentive care and companionship.

About: I have over 7 years of pet care experience, providing reliable and loving support for pets of all kinds. I offer overnight stays when needed to ensure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for in your absence. Over the years, I’ve built sweet, trusting bonds with every pet I’ve looked after, treating them like my own. I work part-time, so I have lots of time in the afternoons and evenings to give your pets the attention, care, and love they deserve. I’m flexible and happy to work around your pet’s routine. I treat every pet like my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for in their environment. I stick to their routines, whether that includes feeding, playtime, or quiet time. I’m happy to go on long walks with dogs to keep them happy and exercised, and I also offer overnight stays for both dogs and cats so they’re never alone and can feel at ease while you’re away.
About: "I don't just 'watch' your dog; I seamlessly integrate into their existing routine. My commitment is to zero stress for your dog by maintaining their preferred feeding schedule, exercise intensity, and favorite cuddle spots. "My real estate career allows for incredible flexibility, which is great news for you! Need a midday walk that changes weekly? No problem. I'm happy to work around your ever-changing schedule to ensure your pet gets consistent care exactly when they need it." I have a back area off of my kitchen and I have a dog lead back there. I live close to all the parks. I also have a small puppy pen if needed.

About: I have grew up with animals since I was in my mommy’s belly. I was always taught to treat animals the way we treat our kids, neighbors, family members etc… at the end of the day our pets are our family and I stand by treating your family the same way I would want mine to be treated. Animals have shown me the true meaning of love, empathy and loyalty and I hope to give what I learned back to every animal trusted in my care. I have owned a german shepherd so I know how to be stern but playful when needed and that body language matters and has a great impact on how animals act and it’s important to show our best for them :) I currently go to school for ultrasound, I attended school M-W-F from 8am- 5pm. For the most part I am free after school and on Tuesday and Thursday all day, I give as much time as I can to my pets and want to be able to do the same for other people’s pets while also being able to help pay for tuition. I understand that animals have a schedule and getting off schedule can mess up the flow of everything with them, I am planning to make sure I can integrate whatever they need into the schedule made for them to continue to make things work the way they need to.
“Manny is great! My dog gets so excited when he comes to get her. He is professional, handles my dog well, (she’s a husky and not the easiest to handle), and reliable. I highly recommend him.”

About: I’ve taken care of both dogs and cats for as long as I can remember. Currently, I have two cats of my own and I occasionally walk my friend’s dogs and check in on their pets when they’re away. I currently just graduated college with a biomedical sciences degree so I’m completely free this summer before I do my masters in Syracuse this fall! Depending on your cats personality, I’d either give them their space or play with them so they can release pent up energy! I’ll make sure they have everything they need and clear litter boxes as needed. I’m pretty good at following instructions, so if there’s anything specific that you’d like me to do, just leave me a list or send me a text!
“PJ is the BEST!!! He's super reliable, always on time, sends the best pictures, gives Chewbacca lots of love and attention and communicates just the right amount. No wonder Chewy loves him. Maybe a little too much?!? Makes me a little jealous actually. But what's better than knowing your dog loves seeing his "second best friend!" I know he's in great and caring hands with PJ!”

About: I started working with pets at the start of the pandemic, when my mom surprised the household with an energetic and anxious goldendoodle. He was 50 pounds and 5 feet long, and insisted on peeing in every corner of the house. I dedicated myself to training him, and he now serves as a service animal for mental health disorders. In the last six years, I have worked with dogs of all breeds and sizes, rabbits, birds, and cats. I can't wait to get to know your fur-baby :) I am available everyday between the hours of 9:00am - 3:00pm, but am able to make other arrangements if needed.

West Mount Vernon dog parents share their Rover experiences
I was honestly really worried about hiring a dog walker because my dog is very reactive, but Tatiana has been amazing. She is not only professional, arrives on time, but clearly experienced, which has put me at ease. I especially love the detailed updates in the app—it shows me everything about my dog’s walk and gives me total peace of mind. After just one walk, my dog already gets excited to see Tatiana, which says everything. I’m so grateful to have found her and will absolutely continue to use her services. Highly recommend!

5 STAR ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ experience — she was so kind, patient, and flexible, and sent beautiful photos throughout the walk. My dog came back super happy, and everything went so smoothly. Would DEFINITELY book her again. She also brought her own pup along, which was such a pleasant and much appreciated surprise since my dog does better with a support dog by his side.

Bella was really great with our Yogi Bear! It was his second time walking with her, and he already has grown attached. She is very dedicated and even worked with us to align schedules when there was a family emergency. We look forward to booking more future walks with her 🙂🐾.

I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and caring dog walker! She is incredibly professional, always punctual, and truly treats my dog like her own. It’s such a relief knowing my dog is in such loving and capable hands. She provides updates after walks and pays attention to the little details, which shows how much she genuinely cares. My dog gets so excited whenever she arrives, and that alone speaks volumes. She’s kind, and goes above and beyond every time. I’m so grateful we found her — she’s absolutely wonderful!

PJ is the BEST!!! He's super reliable, always on time, sends the best pictures, gives Chewbacca lots of love and attention and communicates just the right amount. No wonder Chewy loves him. Maybe a little too much?!? Makes me a little jealous actually. But what's better than knowing your dog loves seeing his "second best friend!" I know he's in great and caring hands with PJ!

Ana is the absolute best. She’s great at working with all kinds of dogs and through every dog’s unique personality. I continue to use her and even increased her number of days because of the rapport she developed with our young puppy. She helps make life easier since my wife and I work long hours. Thank you for everything Ana! I wish I could give you a sixth star! =)

I want to give so much thanks to Stephanie and Corey for walking ocean while I was away on vacation. They were always on time and provided updates on oceans walk 🌊. Ocean doesn’t normally do well with new people so quickly. Corey was patient with ocean when picking him up with ease. If you want someone patient with your pup who is shy and nervous around new people. Corey and Stephanie are the people who will make your furry friend comfortable. Don’t look no more and book with them. Finally ℹ appreciate yall for walking my shy and nervous pup and look forward to working with yall in the future.
