My dog responded to Sarah’s calm demeanor very well at their first meeting. Sarah is extremely patient with her and she sends me updates and photos after each walk, which I love. Ghost seems to be taking to her very well. I feel very fortunate to have found Sarah!!

About: I've been around dogs and cats of different ages, backgrounds, sizes, temperaments, and health conditions since I can remember! My family has done fostering and rescuing with dogs and cats since I was a kid. My professional experience includes a 6 month veterinary internship in High School, and a year of experience working in different dog daycares and boarding centers. I've had many years experience in pet sitting for family and friends! I'm working on Rover as a pet sitter full time this summer, and will be returning to school as a full-time canine training & management student at SUNY Cobleskill. With drop in visits, I'm always thorough when reading instructions and always double check what I'm doing. It's my priority to make your pet feel safe and well cared for! When walking your pup, I'll make sure your dog gets the movement they need!

About: I am currently attending Long Island University College of Veterinary Medicine to become a veterinarian!

I want to make sure everyone including the pet is comfortable!

About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all ages, from energetic puppies to gentle seniors and I treat every pet like my own. I’m reliable, patient, and always focused on keeping pets comfortable. With experience in walks, feeding routines, medication support, and giving plenty of affection, I make sure every pet feels at home while you’re away.

Lianna was wonderful! I knew my fur baby was being well taken care of. She knew I was anxious leaving my baby so she sent me multiple pictures of every outing so I could see how Tessie was? She was prompt, fed Tessie and made sure she took her medicine everyday for her chronic condition. I highly recommend Lianna if you are in need of pet sitter/walker. I have already booked her again for my next out of town trip when I cannot take my baby.

About: First time clients can use the promo code below for a discount on your first booking. DAWNA60239 My profile: https://www.rover.com/sit/dawna60239 I have taken care of dogs since I was in my early teens. In addition, through the years, I have also been a pet parent to a horse, guinea pigs, hermit crabs, tropical fish, goldfish, and hamsters. Family and friends routinely ask me for pet care advice since I have had pets for so many years and trained my own puppies through self teaching. I also have experience administering medications. I care for my own four dogs on a daily basis ranging in age from 3 to 17 and have raised them from puppies. We have play time and snuggle time at different times each day. There is plenty of extra time and love each day to care for your fur baby too. I have a fenced yard on just under 1/2 acre, and my four dogs love to romp and play which is part of their daily routine. They also love long walks or going for a car ride. They are all crate trained and feel that their crate is their special place, so the doors are always open for them to have their alone/rest time when they want to after play time (if they are not trying to claim a spot on the couch or in the recliner). One especially likes the couch and the others love to sleep in bed at night.

About: Calm, Reliable Overnight Dog Sitter with Large-Breed Experience. I understand that every animal is different. Some dogs love long adventures, others prefer quiet walks. Some cats demand attention, others just want you to refill the food and leave them be. I adjust my care to match your pet’s needs — whether that means a hike, a cuddle session, or just respectful presence and clean routines. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs, cats, and small animals with all sorts of temperaments — anxious, energetic, elderly, or aloof. I offer overnight stays, dog walks, drop-in visits, and special outings (like private Sniffspot walks for dogs who need extra space). I provide consistent updates, clear communication, and take your animal’s physical and emotional safety seriously. If you’re looking for someone who will meet your pets with kindness, attentiveness. — I’d love to help. I’m happy to accommodate longer stays or multiple dogs — just send a message to discuss your needs! Booking messages are checked and answered at 8 daily. I work part time and make my own schedule. I am frequently available and aside from house sitting I can offer anything from early morning walks to late night check-ins I have reliable transportation and I make sure to provide updates as needed, extra treats and supplies always on hand. Long walks in safe places are a specialty.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs ever since I could remember. I love them so much. Everyone calls me the dog whisperer whenever they need a helping hand with their fur babies. I do charge an additional fee for gas, due to gas prices being so high and the high intake I receive from my guests. I currently work part time but I’m available usually after 9am throughout the week. I do work weekends usually but I can be flexible with stopping in the morning and evenings times for your fur babies. I am temporarily in a transition moving right now, for the Army National Guard. I am living at Home until I receive my new orders. So I will come to you for any of your visits you need for your fur babies!

About: I have two fur babies of my own, so I understand that trusting someone else to care for your pet can be challenging. However, sometimes we don't have a choice. With me, you won't have to worry at all; I will love and spoil your furry friend just like I do with my own. I absolutely adore dogs and wish I could have more! You can rest assured that your pet will be in good hands and will have playmates to feel comfortable with. My female dogs are very loving and playful. Bella is 6 years old and weighs 33 lbs, while Chloe is 4 years old and weighs 68 lbs. I would love to care for your pet and provide them with a warm home filled with love, attention, and furry friends. I work from home several times a week. I am home on the weekends. While your fur baby is in my care, they will receive my full attention. While your pet is in my home, they will be loved and treated as a part of the family. They are welcome to sit or lie on the sofa, and I also have pet beds available if they prefer to use those or they can bring their own.

About: I have 15 years experience caring for dogs of all ages and sizes, as well as small animals and exotics. I foster dogs for a breed specific rescue, with medical and severe behavioral issues so I’ve seen it all. (Dog and human aggression ect…) If dogs are boarding in my home they must be crate trained and/or fully dog and cat friendly. We can always work something out, message me! I do not board cats but would be happy to stop by and spend some time with them. I’m home full time right now! I may go out for a couple hours for dog walking, but other than that someone is always here. We have a spare room if they need their own space. We have lots of experience fostering and crate/ rotate. We always make sure to spend equal quality time with each dog. If I am caring for your pets at your home I will spend the night there with them.
