About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I was a kid. I have 2 cats and a boxer dog currently, who are my life! I provide peace of mind to clients that their animals are in great hands while they are away for a few hours, over night, or even a week! I currently work full time but I have plenty of time to care for your animals whether it be morning, afternoon, evening, or weekends. I am dedicated to providing custom loving care to each furbaby I meet. Leave me some instructions and I will make sure I follow them to a T! Walks, crating, litter box clean ups, feedings. Whatever needs your pet has, I can help.
“We had a very positive experience with Jupiter walking our greyhounds! Communication was prompt and easy, and Jupiter was even able to add an additional walk day last minute. We greatly appreciate the care provided and would use walking services again in the future!”
“Julia is also fantastic with my pups and today she was able to pull through on a clutch, last minute need when our other dog walker was sick. She let me know when her availability freed up right away and took my babies out on a cold, snowy adventure (which they LOVE! even when it’s hard for the humans to stay warm!!). I always highly recommend her and today just added to my ongoing recommendation. She is a trooper and true animal lover!”
“Rebecca is so great. She walked my fur baby Brutus and did a fabulous job. He looked so happy in the picture she took. I will definitely be booking her again should the need arise.”
“After our first week with Jamie, we can confidently say we are thrilled to have her! She is so attentive to our pup and we feel good knowing she’s in such good hands.”
“Holly is so amazing and caring! You can tell she truly has a love for animals and their well-being. She is great with communications and responds quickly. She looked out for my dog like if he was her own and that really meant a lot to me. I would definitely hire her again and recommend her to anyone!”
“Lori has been so wonderful with our pup! He can be very attached to us at times and she's been so patient with him. Now he is scratching at the door to walk with her when she arrives! We feel so lucky to have Lori as our dog walker and know Maverick is in such good care!”
About: Since age 12, I’ve cared for dogs and cats for family, friends, and neighbors—walking, feeding, and overnight sitting. It’s truly one of my favorite things. I work from home on Mondays and am available weekends, making pet care flexible and convenient. I’m highly responsive, adaptable, and will love your pets like my own—whether for walks, check-ins, or extra attention. In my home, pets are fed breakfast early each morning and supper around 5 p.m. Dogs enjoy multiple daily walks, while cats lounge in sunny windows. Litter boxes are scooped often, and I keep their space clean and comfortable. In a client’s home, I’m happy to follow any instructions provided—whatever keeps their pets happiest and most at ease.
“Sylvia is incredible! She noticed my dog wasn't feeling well on his walk and immediately let me know. She then stayed with him until I was able to rush home and take over. Your furry friend is in the best possible hands with her!”
About: Caring for animals is my passion! Hi, I'm Caroline! I'm an experienced pet carer who is happy to fill the unique needs of you and your furry family members. I began pet sitting at 10 for family and friends, and grew my network by word of mouth over a number of years, and am now looking to expand this role through Rover. I have experience working at dog boarding and daycare facilities and have worked with and owned several senior animals with complex medical needs, such as blindness, epilepsy/seizures, and hip dysplasia. As a poodle owner, a former german shepherd owner, and having cared for a dog with many skin issues, I also know how important grooming routines are too! I'm happy to accommodate whatever your pet needs. If you are looking for someone who is willing and ready to care for your furry family members, please feel free to reach out to me with any questions you may have! I work remotely as a freelance writer so I have plenty of time to give care and attention to your pups! I am extremely flexible on schedules so I am sure I will be able to meet your needs. I am a stickler for routine and training, so please let me know how to best serve you and your family! I have raised several dogs so I understand how important keeping up with training and maintaining proper food times, walk times, and bed times are, so you can rely on me to meet whatever schedule you have set up.
“Rosemary was wonderful! So communicative and prompt. Always keeping me informed of everything going on. My little guy was a little shy at first so she brought her own dog as a companion and it worked like a charm. She's great!”

I raised 2 cats for about the same time and they're now living with my mom. I work from home & have housemates that enjoy pets as well, so your fur baby is well tended to and has company around the clock! Fenced yard they get let out in to play, sun & use bathroom throughout the day. Water always stocked. Bones provided if approved.

About: I’ve been around my dogs since I was born. I am someone who truly loves dogs and will do anything to make them as happy as they make me! I am a new graduate registered nurse looking for a side job! I just graduated from Endicott College in May! I have much more time on my hands! I am free any day of the week and would love to become best friends with your furry friends! I am always taking my 13 year old German Shepard for walks, car rides, giving her new toys and anything that makes her happy! I will do whatever it is to make your and your dogs happy!
“Bethany was great with our dog! She came and walked her while we were away and she was patient and accommodating with our shy girl. I loved getting her updates and pictures! Highly recommended!”
About: I adopted my dog 8 years ago and have been lucky enough to also be surrounded by family and friends who are also pet owners. I pride myself in being the first one they call when they need pet assistance and do so without a second thought. I will consistently make your pet feel at ease and give them the companionship they need. If they need a walk or just some company I am confident you will find your animal is well taken care of and treated as if they are my own. I currently am offering dog walks and feeding/companionship but if your dog is mellow enough to deal with my chihuahua terrier mix who likes to keep to himself, I would love to offer more services!
