About: I’ve had two furries, a cat and a dog and they are currently with my family living in NYC. I have experience taking care of them for over 3 years since they are just a kitten and a puppy. I helped my puppy Labrador Retriever break her potty and other aspects of training. I am calm and resilient. At the same time, I truly care about the furries and try to match my energies to theirs when it comes to exercise! I enjoy taking care of paw friends including Labrador Retriever, Rottweiler, German Shepherd, Husky, Australian Cattle, Pomeranian, Forkie, and more. I go for a jog or a run during the weekend no matter what. So, your paw friends would be part of it in the mornings and evenings. Generally, I will give a morning run or a walk for 30 minutes and potty breaks every 2-3 hours during the weeks/ends. Before dinner time, I’d make sure to give them a brief walk as well, as I need one to wrap up my day. During the weekend, I will take your furry friends everywhere I go, unless I have to go dining somewhere/church for 2-4 hours. You let me know if you'd like me to let you know in advance so you are comfortable with it. I have two Nest Cameras installed in the house specifically facing toward the entrance door, balcony, too, and of course your furry friends. I can always see the alert of what’s happened throughout the day + anything that happens will be recorded for safety purposes!

About: We both grew up with dogs. We currently have 1 cat which we have had for 10 years, a large dog, and a medium sized dogs. This collection of pets gives us a good amount of experience in caring for different types of pets as well as how they interact with each other. In addition to our own pets we have also cared for some of our friends pets overnight on many occasions and have shared houses with roommates who have also had dogs and cats. I have no prior professional experience caring for others pets, do I m a behavioral psychologist who has worked with neurodivergent children for many years and can apply these concepts to pet care. One of us works from home 5 days a week and the other works from home 2 days a week. With the exception of some meetings, can be flexible to provide care at most times of the day. In our experience, that dogs and cats crave more than anything else is safety, trust, and an understanding of the ways they attempt to communicate with you. Our pets are capable of being on their own when needed, but when we are around they never leave our sides even for a moment. They are obedience as trained through positive reinforcement and socialization through meaningful experiences. They look to us for guidance, but we also like to challenge them to think for themselves to solve problems such as getting a to out of reach or navigating to us when the path is not visibly clear. I give this level of attention and support to every pet I meet and know how to build a relationship of trust and respect quickly and effectively. Even pets belonging to former roommates tend to follow me more than their owners after enough time.

About: i have had dogs, cats and other pets all my life. i have decades of experience caring for animals—different types, in different settings, with different needs. i am very attentive to and meticulous about the details, so your four-legged family member will be in excellent hands! i am emotionally in-tune to what animals are feeling. i can monitor and sense how they are feeling quickly and easily. i really enjoy being outdoors, so we will have a great time on longer (and shorter) walks. i am also good with animals who may be a bit shy and helping them feel calm when outside of their home; also helping them feel safe to engage with and make new friends. I LOVE TO PLAY! so, we will have a great time together. schedule with me today! (lower case type is a deliberate decision to invite quiet to my words.) i am a very flexible about booking shorter and longer stays. weekend bookings, up to weeks at a time, are all perfect for me. i am currently self-employed as a breathwork and meditation guide so, i create my daily schedule. it is very easy for me to spend all day at your home to ensure scheduled meal times, walks, outdoor play, etc. are exactly the same as if you are home. all of my work on my platform, with clients, for events, etc. are completed on the computer, so i am completely remote. i want your family member to feel at ease and calm. i prioritize maintaining the daily schedule you have for them. i am always checking in on them, listening out for them, offering pets and cuddles, refilling their water, playing with them, etc. i treat your home as though it is my own. daily, i clean up after myself and your four-legged family. you can be confident that you will return to your home exactly as you left it. general cleaning and upkeep related to your fur family, and myself, are included in my house-sitting services (i.e. bowel remnants, kitchen, furniture and floors). if there are any issues with appliances, power, etc. i will contact you immediately, so it can be corrected quickly. any upkeep, troubleshooting, management, clean-up, etc. that are not related to fur friends or myself will incur additional fees.

About: I have been caring for dogs for over 40 years, off and on and for the last 6 years. I work part time from home and my teens are homeschooling so I have time at home to play and care for your loved ones. In my home, pets are family and they are treated as such! I have a big, enclosed backyard for lots of playtime fun and doggy door access from the house so they have plenty of places to roam and explore. I have 2 small dogs (Coco 5yrs. is a Pug Mix and Luna 4 yrs is a Pug), both rescues. Luna we raised from 3 months old. They love meeting new friends and playing in a pack! I have been using Rover myself, for almost eight years, whenever we go on vacation and I love this service! My dogs have so much fun when they are away with their sitter family and I want to help other dogs and families feel the same peace of mind while they are away! I am lucky enough to be able to work part time from home and assist my homeschooling teens. Because I am home everyday, I make time to get outside often. I include all of the dogs in our playtime and the more, the merrier! I live in a house with a fenced in backyard. I have easy access to the backyard with a doggy door. I allow dogs on our furniture. They are part of the family, after all. My home is dog proof and I gate off areas they are not allowed, such as kids rooms. Dogs sleep in my room, either in a dog bed or kennel, whatever you prefer. I have extra beds & blankets as well. We spend time doing outdoor play a few times a day.

Danielle was a great find! She did drop in visits with our two senior dogs when we were gone for 12 hours. She spent a long time with them each time she dropped in, and gave them tons of attention. They were so happy! She was prompt and responsible and so nice, even sent us update photos. Will definitely book again if we have the chance.

Arash took great care of Leo during our time away. Communication was excellent throughout the booking, and we appreciated the updates after each visit. Leo did very well with Arash too, and it was clear he was well cared for. We came home to a happy, relaxed dog, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. Arash went above and beyond, and we would happily book with him again.
