“First time ever using the app so I was really nervous about it, but DAMACIA made me feel completely at ease. She listened to all my concerns and how to take care of my sweet boy because he is hard of hearing. She took him on a walk around the neighborhood and Maximus seemed to enjoy it. Now that the walk is over my sweet boy is passed out on the couch probably for the rest of the day. Will definitely be using her services in the near future.”
“Red was a happy boy when we got home! It was a big relief to be able to leave for a long day and know he’d be able to get out for a walk and go to the bathroom while we were gone.”
“Danielle was the absolute best with my doggies. She was sweet, responsive and reliable. The dogs loved her and she was very accommodating. She also took photos for us! I’d absolutely use her again for any pet needs.”
“Shannon was huge help walking our dog Nora after my foot surgery. She was responsible, communicative, and took some cute pictures of Nora during their walks! We will definitely book again.”
About: Hi! I am a graduate student with a flexible schedule to accommodate your busy life. I offer reliable and trustworthy pet care services, ensuring your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness. I have grown up with dogs and cats my entire life, so you can count on plenty of patience and special attention for your fur babies. Whether through regular walks, playtime, or feeding routines, I provide compassionate care tailored to each pet's individual needs. I especially love going on walks and spending time outdoors. From pet owners, I prioritize clear communication in order to meet expectations, maintain consistency, and bring peace of mind. My routine is centered around my class schedule. I am free to prioritize sitting on the majority of weekends, so that’s my main source of availability. On weekdays, I’m generally open early mornings and evenings after 5:30. Quick visits throughout the day may be possible, depending on the location, so just reach out with the details and we can coordinate. As a dedicated pet sitter with years of experience, I ensure your four-legged friend remains happy and healthy. I pay close attention to body language to know when it’s playtime or if space is needed. I always respect boundaries, though I am also adept at implementing discipline at the owner’s discretion if necessary. Getting to know your pet’s unique personality as well as their favorite toys or games is the best part of the experience for me. Look forward to receiving photo and video updates of your babies while under my care. My method of sitting revolves around specific instructions from the owner regarding their pet’s routine, preferences, and any special requirements.
“Marlowe is awesome! She loves (and can handle!) my very excitable pit and is great with her. Lisa is always tired after a visit with Marlowe. It gives me so much peace of mind to know that Lisa can get some quality play and snuggle time during the day with Marlowe. I would recommend her to anyone.”
About: I have two amazing dogs, Milo and Winter, that play constantly! They are best of friends and always welcome new friends. Milo is an 8 month old puppy still learning house training and making amazing progress. I found him at a rescue in Philly when I was visiting March 2026- love at first site! He clicked so well with my German Shepherd mix Winter, that I rescued in June 2025. Prior to falling in love with these two rescues, I helped foster several dogs through a local rescue- while healing from the loss of my dog of 13 years, Bella. She was a one dog household kind of girl, but Winter was just the opposite. I could tell she needed a friend, and Milo came into our lives at just the right time. I so look forward to helping care for your fur babies and will give them all the walks, plays, and cuddles they might need. I’ll ensure all your care is personalized to your dog’s specific needs. Also, would love to send you pic updates while you’re at work or adventuring! If your dog is in my care for doggy daycare, I will be home with them, unless otherwise discussed with you. If I’m hired to come walk your dog, I’ll give you a detailed update of our walk! I am home and available 7 days a week, unless I’m traveling. My dogs get lots of attention and walks. We love the James River Park system 🫶 I will ask for lots of detail about your pets specific needs so I can curate their care so they feel right at home! A home away from home.

About: Call me Libby :) Dogs are my absolute passion in life! I was raised in a home with dogs and I’ve been a personal pet owner for over 10 years. I have experience raising and fostering puppies, seniors, and everything in between! I’ve had dogs in hospice care, with special needs, medical issues, etc. I have basic training skills and there are no stairs in my home in case your dog can’t use them. I have a large fenced in yard for play time or sunbathing in a safe and quiet neighborhood. They will be treated as if they are my own and loved on for every minute they are in my care! I run my own business so my work hours are flexible. I never leave the home for more than 4-5 hours at the absolute maximum. My 2 dogs and I go on evening walks everyday (after it’s cooled off in the summer time) and lots of outdoor time in between. My life revolves around my dogs needs so yours will fit in perfectly! I have a large fenced in yard and crates of different sizes if you need or want them to be crated. I have two friendly dogs so your baby will never be alone. My youngest dog will be a loving companion to your pet and make sure they feel like they’re at home. Whether that’s playing or napping, he will fall in love with them instantly!
About: Hello! I am a SAHM to a little boy born in May 2025, and have spent my life loving on animals, always having pets in the home and taking care of neighbor dogs. My little one will often come with me, as his dad travels for work, but he remains in a carrier during our visits and is used to our three dogs at home. We currently have 3 wonderful rescue doggies ranging in size from 11-100lbs that I love with all my heart and would love to spread some of the care to your sweet pet. I am a brand new mom and have availability to work around my newborn’s schedule. I work part time on Mondays and Tuesdays as a virtual therapist, so those days are sometimes more full to work around. Due to my little one’s schedule, I am not usually available for visits past 7:30pm! I think it is so important to make your pet feel comfortable with me and the environment. I will always take their lead for what they need whether it be space to process a new person, or lots of cuddles and play.
“Mark took great care of our puppy. He was very quick to respond to my request (it was somewhat short notice) and was a lifesaver. He kept us updated and paid attention to our dogs needs. I highly recommend Mark and will be using him in the future.”
About: I’ve been a pet parent for years, so I totally get it—leaving your fur baby behind is tough! I’ve spent plenty of time caring for the pets of family and friends, so I’m a pro at helping a nervous pup or kitty feel right at home. I’m a big fan of getting outside, so if your dog has energy to burn, we’ll hit the local trails to make sure they’re tuckered out and ready for a long nap. I also have hands-on experience with diabetic pups and am fully comfortable administering insulin injections, so your senior or special, needs friends, are in safe hands with me! Currently working part time, so I have a flexible schedule during weekdays and weekends. I am looking to ger outside more so I look forward to the pup walks. I have a fully fenced-in yard with plenty of grass and shade trees, perfect for afternoon sniffing and exploring! Plus, I have two dog-friendly cats who are totally unfazed by pups, making this a great spot for socialized dogs to hang out and relax.
About: i've watched cats, dogs, lizards, fish, all kinds of animals and i'm very familiar with how much love a pet needs to feel comfortable. i'm very attentive and i would love to watch your cat/dog/animal. at the moment, i am not working, and so i have lots of free time to watch animals at any point during the day. I go to group meetings twice a day, and that ronly takes an hour of my time so any time during the day works.

Dogs will be leash walked in the wide front yard but we can also go across the street to the dog park, too!
About: I specialize in thoughtful, low-stress care for cats of all personalities—from social and playful to shy and selective.

I also have many families I’ve worked with who can provide references to give you extra peace of mind.

Westchester dog parents share their Rover experiences
Damacia was dependable and great with the pups. We met her ahead of her walking our dogs for the week we were away, and she immediately made the dogs feel at ease. Our pup is a bit nervous as a rescue and doesn’t always take to people. She made Millie feel comfortable immediately. I would highly recommend her. She clearly loves dogs and is great at what she does.
