Jared and Karen are excellent with Wally. Wally already loves them and looks forward to his daily walks. Both Jared and Karen are huge animal lovers and it shows. I feel very comfortable with them walking Wally because I know they take great care of him.

About: Hi, I'm Robyn, a lifelong animal lover with over 10 years of trusted experience caring for dogs & cats of all breeds, ages, and personalities. I've grown up with a variety of animals my entire life (cats, dogs, guinea pigs, turtles, mice). For the past decade, I've been the go to pet sitter and dog walker for family and friends. Whether it’s high energy pups or senior cats who just want some company, I treat every pet like my own with patience, love, and attention to their unique needs. Before I was old enough to work, I spent time volunteering at a local animal shelter during my teen years. It gave me early hands on experience caring for animals with all kinds of personalities and needs, and helped shape my lifelong love and respect for animals. Right now, I share my home with a 5 year old beagle named Scout who I’ve raised since he was a puppy. Whether you're looking for reliable walks, drop ins, or overnight care, you can count on me to keep your pet safe, happy, and loved while you're away. I send regular updates and photos, and I always follow your care instructions to the letter. I can’t wait to meet your furry family member! As a stay at home mom, I'm home and active throughout the day, which allows me to easily fit pet care into my regular routine. I'm available for walks and visits from 9am-2pm during the week, and I have full day availability on Sunday. I'm used to planning my days around care and routines, so incorporating pet care feels like a natural fit. Whether it's a morning walk to start the day, a dinner time drop in, or extended weekend care, I make sure every pet gets the time, attention, and consistency they deserve. When caring for pets in their own home, I always follow the pet parent's instructions closely to ensure consistency and comfort for their pet. I'm very detail oriented and make sure routines, feeding, medications, and preferences are followed exactly as requested. I also let the pet guide the pace of our interactions whether that means playtime, cuddles, or simply being a calm, reassuring presence. My goal is to make them feel safe, respected, and as relaxed as possible while you're away

Kim was amazing with Milkshake! Not only did she respond quickly, but she fit us into her busy schedule last minute. Kim was kind and took such good care of my pup. She made sure that she got all of her energy out and was so easy to work with. 10 out of 10 will definitely book her again. Book her. You won’t be disappointed.

About: I’ve had pets of all species, shapes, and sizes. I love taking care of pets, hanging out with them, and ensuring they’re safe and comfortable. I have a dog of my own and have done well training him. I’ve had dogs since I was five and deeply enjoyed taking care of them. I have cared for family member’s cats and dogs and I also have experience with some reptiles and rodents. I’ve even helped stray dogs throughout my life, managing to make them feel safe with me until an owner was found. I’m good at gaging an animal’s individual personality and acting accordingly. Shy? I am patient and gentle. Outgoing? I am ready to play. Your pet mainly likes privacy and naps? I’ll respect their space. I love animals and would love to care for yours when you need it! I’m working part time, which allows me plenty of time in the morning and afternoon to help care for your pet! I’m available from about 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Tuesday-Saturday and after 8 p.m. I am free all day on Sundays and Mondays. I will notify if there are any days/times that I become unavailable. I have a friendly dog of my own who would love to play and keep your dog company, if needed. I have also cared for dogs, cats, and even reptiles and rodents, since I was a kid. I am gentle, patient, and fearless when it comes to animals. I will give the utmost love and care to your pet!

About: I've grown up around labs since my grandparents were breeders. All my aunts have had labs (usually more than one at a time), so I've gotten the chance to look after them and give them walks when they were away on vacation. My most recent experience was with my roommate's St Bernard. Optimus is the largest dog I've ever cared for let alone lived with. He's been a ton of work considering his previous owner's unfortunate lack of care. We've dealt with ear infections and bulking up to a healthy weight. Throughout all, patience and determination prevailed and he's our big buddy. I'm currently working three 12-hour shifts each week providing me evenings on work days and full days twice during week and all weekend for caring for cats. I'm unavailable Wednesday evenings and weekend mornings for religious reasons. I have a clean home vacuumed every morning with plenty of windows for looking out of. Scratching posts are in every room with plenty of toys and treats to go around. I love petting cats and giving belly rubs if that's their thing.

About: I am an ANIMAL LOVER! My name is May Fredericks. I am 21 and a student at King’s College. I major in environmental science and strive to be a wildlife researcher or open a rescue center for animals. To me, animals are the ultimate example of unconditional love and teach us humans more lessons than we realize. That’s why caring for them means so much to me. I am a full time student at King’s college. Most days I have class from 11am - 2 pm. Tuesdays are my long days. I am in class from 12:30pm- 5 pm. But I’m available all day during weekends and holidays!! I have a fenced yard and my neighborhood is quiet, safe, and friendly. I don’t usually board pets in my home, but I am open to it.

About: When I was young I had 5 cats, Yuna, Spooky, Toby, Rose, and JD, rest in peace, I loved them all a lot and they were with me for a long time, especially Yuna. But now I have 2 Cats, one of which is in the room with me as I write this Bio. His name is Spuds, there's a second one, a Black Cat called Casper who's definitely a handful, but regardless I love the two beyond measure. I've taken care of the two as long as I've had them. My experience isn't just limited to Cats, as I've been around Dogs just as long as I've been with Cats. My mother growing up was a Dog Walker, so I naturally have a lot of second-hand experience with Dog Walking and know the basics. She'd take me and my sister all across Brooklyn 5 days a week to walk 3 Dogs, sometimes more. Furthermore my big brother has a Pitbull mix, whom I've also walked plenty of times. This may be my first time as an actual dogwalker/pet sitter, but I'm certainly not inept. This is my first job, so you better believe I have more than enough free time to take care of your pet, no matter what time of day. Unless of course I have other things to do, such as errands, or any other responsibilities that come up, but you will obviously be warned and told about said responsibilities in advance. I play and cuddle my Cats a ton everyday, along with feeding them and cleaning their litterboxes. And with Dogs, I know how much they need their outside time, so I'd obviously take them outside for Walks or fresh air routinely. I may have less experience with other pets, but so long as you give me proper details on how to take care of them, I could care for just about any pet you ask. Be it Rabbits, Turtles, Lizards, etc.

About: I’ve taken care of and loved dogs for as long as I can remember! My favorite part of the day is seeing their tail wag! I am currently working part time with a very flexible schedule!

When at a clients home, I treat the space with respect and make sure to stick to the pets routine.

About: I've taken care of dogs of all shapes and size dogs for over a decade. I've had two dogs personally that recently have passed away and I am looking to help fill that missing piece by helping other pet lovers. I have experience in feeding, walking and caring for dogs of all ages from puppy to senior, my late Husky kept me very active so if you fur baby requires extra-long walks and adventures, then I am the perfect sitter for you. Caring for your pet is something I take very seriously and will care for them as if they are my own. I work from home, so I am open an able to care for your pet throughout the day, depending on their needs and your request. I work from home, so my daytime schedule is flexible because of that. I can pop in or work from your home to care for your pet. I live alone with a fenced in yard. I had two dogs of my own (recently passed) so my house is already puppy proof, but if the dog sitting is in your home, I will follow any instructions you provide with in-home care and to pop in for dog walking.

About: I was raised around all kinds of animals, and have cared for cats, dogs, snakes, and rabbits. I love them all unconditionally and believe they should be raised to know full bellies, warm cozy nights, and endless love. I have experience working as a groomers assistant and a kennel attendant professionally for about 3 years as well, so I know how to handle special needs ranging from anxiety to aggression. I also understand what it's like to be tight on funds, and the need to budget tightly in order to properly care for your furry friends! If my Rover prices are too high for your budget, shoot me a message and I can help you stay in your range! I'm flexible, especially since all pets are different and require different amounts of work! I'm currently transitioning into working a typical full time job, so my once very wide open schedule has slimmed down a lot. I can best typically do check ins and walks in the early morning and in the evening. I'm assuming that I'll be doing a typical 9 to 5, so anything before 9am or after 5pm is within reach for me to make sure your pets are well cared for and loved while you're away. ❤️ You can reach out to me with any schedule questions and I can try to work something out with you! I always do my very best to be as gentle as possible with all pets! I tend to avoid using "alpha" proving tactics unless it is necessary for my or your pets safety (ex. scruffing, using chokers tightly, using the shock option over the buzz option on an electric collar). I see these options as only being necessary when the pet is acceptionally aggressive and may hurt myself, itself, or others. I'm also very cautious around doors as I know many pets would take the opportunity to bolt it into the street if they could. I can handle bruises and scratches well from excited pets! I'm usually always covered in them from my own fur babies.

Daniela is great. I book her walking service whenever I'm away and she'll continue to be the first walker I reach out to whenever I'm in need. My dog Fetty really likes her and I feel very at ease knowing she'll be with someone that will take great care of her. Very accommodating and keeps me updated every walk with photos.
