“Yazmine was able to jump in at the last minute and provide some quick care to Loki when my schedule changed! So grateful. Despite not having met each other before, he warmed up to her and allowed her to put on his harness (a bit achievement for a first meeting!). She was communicative and thorough, very responsive to instructions. Thank you!!”
“Tere is an excellent provider. She is easy to communicate with, is prompt, and went above and beyond to make sure my dogs were comfortable and extremely well-taken care of. Highly recommend.”
“Katherine is a life saver. Shes always ready and will work with your schedule! Very respectful, always updates, and it’s evident that Snax ADORES her! So glad we found her as our walker.”
About: I have a dog of my own. He’s a miniature poodle I learned how to potty train him in the home and also trained him to see his crate as a safe space. I’m currently a college student that’s home for the whole summer, with 100% free time. I am free Sunday to Saturday, most likely all day. I've watched dogs my whole life! I also have a dog of my own. I know the ins and outs! I will get them to their daily walks on time, I will feed them on time. I will treat your dog as my own. Dogs bring me joy and I would love this opportunity to build a relationship with yours!
“Manny is great with Cammi. She can be a handful and Manny is always up to the challenge, and he has been incredibly positive, helpful, and flexible with our schedule.”
“Essence is so wonderful with my dog Winnie. she goes above and beyond with a smile and a sense of humor. I’m very fortunate that she agreed to walk my pup, who isn’t the easiest to walk. Highly recommend Essence!”
About: I grew up with both Cats and Dogs and have experience as a pet owner as I have 2 cats of my own. I also have a lot of experience as a sitter/boarder and professional dog walking! I’m comfortable administering medicine and dealing with aging pets needs. I have some experience with puppies and kittens as well. I have equal experience with cats and dogs and love them both! House Sitting, Dog Walking, and Drop-Ins: I have experience with house sitting and drop-ins so no need to worry. I am very trustworthy and dependable! I’m good at following directions. I’ve seen it all :) I know a lot of beautiful walking routes in the area. I took a break from rover for a while, but I’ve continued to pet sit and dog walk the entire time just not on here. I can provide more references if needed. I have two cats that are comfortable around dogs for boarding. Let me know if you have any questions. I’m a student so I have plenty of time during the summer months. Sitting and drop ins work fine with my own cats schedules as I have roommates they love to hangout with while I’m gone. I drop by to feed them dinner and they snack on dry food in the mornings. My schedule is flexible and open! I listen to owners as they know their pet best. Willing to follow even the most hyper specific directions to ensure everyone is comfortable and safe.
About: I provide consistent reliable care; adhering to feeding schedules, outside/indoor activities, spending quality time, and administering any required medications. I also provide ample cuddle time! I’m pretty flexible with my daily and weekly routine. I have an open schedule, which allows me the time and flexibility to meet your pets’ needs. I love spending quality time with pets - providing affection (if your pet consents), mental stimulation through activities or toys, and overall providing a comfortable place for your pet.
About: I’ve cared for dogs since I was 4, growing up with two pups—one large and one small—until I was 15. More recently, I raised a puppy for a year before helping them find their forever home. My experience spans all ages and sizes, from playful pups to strong large breeds. I’m confident, patient, and truly love connecting with each dog’s unique personality.

I have every evening free, as well as all day Friday, which I can fully dedicate to your pet’s care. Whether it’s regular walks, feeding, playtime, or just keeping them company, I’m available when it matters most to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved.

I’m gentle, patient, and always alert to your pet’s behavior to ensure they feel secure and well-cared for. I create a calm, loving environment—whether it’s giving them space to relax, playtime to stay active, or simply being present so they never feel alone. Building trust with both pets and their owners is what matters most to me.

Sadyn A.
“Sadyn has been walking and pupsitting my dog weekly since September 2024. My dog loves her so much -he think she's just a friend that likes to hang out with him when I'm gone - and I don't know what we would do without her. My dog is about 60 pounds, has a strong prey drive, doesn't like meeting other dogs when he's on a leash, and yet wants to stop and greet every. single. human. being. he sees outside. I can trust Sadyn's judgement **completely** and I know I don't have to worry when he's in her care. She keeps him safe and in line with consistency, warmth, and clear expectations for good doggy behavior. She's also very organized, always shows up on time, walks him for as long as we have agreed on, and lets me know if anything comes up (I mean that literally, he's a puker). Your pup will be in excellent, capable hands with Sadyn. :-)”
Santos B.
“Santos provided several walks, was communicative, punctual, and professional. Frida can be difficult when being picked up, but no issues here! Highly reccomend.”

Talia R.
“Talia R. is a very responsible, kind and loving dog caregiver. Talia has cared for my Havanese dog named Sophie on many occasions over the past 2 years. I am very grateful to her because she was very attentive to Sophie's needs when I could not be there to watch her myself. Sophie has anxiety & cries when I leave the house. Sophie would not eat when I was gone and begun to lose weight. When Talia helped us out by caring for Sophie, I saw a huge turn around with Sophie. She had bonded really well with Talia. No more messes in the house by Sophie when Talia cared for her. I knew Sophie received proper care like dog walks, dog hugs, dog hair care, dog playtime, dog chowtime and doggie treats. Sophie even howled when she would see Talia leave. Sophie and I give Talia 4 paw stamps & a wagging tail of approval. Thank you Talia for watching my Sophie.”
Lesly R.
“Lesly is one of the very select few people I fully trust to care for my cat, Bucky, when I’m away—and that’s saying a lot. She has looked after him during multiple extended weekends while I am away in Pennsylvania visiting family (I live in Westchester, NY), and each time, she’s gone above and beyond what anyone would expect. Bucky has a reputation for being sneaky—he’s managed to unplug his automatic feeder more than once—but Lesly always checks it thoroughly to make sure he doesn’t miss a meal. She also ensured his self-filling water fountain was working properly (he no longer uses this product), since he went through a picky phase of only drinking dripping water. Even though his litter box is self-cleaning, I know Lesly would have no problem handling it herself if kindly requested. She’s reliable, detail-oriented, and never overlooks the little things that make a big difference in pet care. But what makes Lesly truly special is that she doesn't stop at logistics. Without any prompting from me, she makes sure Bucky’s toys are spread out across the apartment to keep him mentally stimulated, and she even plays with him using his favorite wand toy for a good 30 minutes (if not more) during every visit. That kind of care—loving, thoughtful, and engaged—is what makes her exceptional and gives me peace as a cat dad. She doesn’t just “watch” pets; she connects with them because she genuinely cares for the pet's overall wellness. Lesly is compassionate, intuitive, and incredibly dependable. Any pet would be lucky to have her, and any pet parent would have total peace of mind knowing she takes the trust you place in her to see after your best friend. —Christopher B.”
Selina O.
“Selina has watched my dog on multiple occasions and I can honestly say she is the most responsible individual, who will do her upmost to take care of any pet in her care. She doesn’t just sit around (like previous dog sitters I’ve encountered) she took the dog on walks and to the park to interact with other dogs. It’s peace of mind knowing I have someone like her to call on when I have to go out of town!”
Lakeema V.
“I would never hesitate to book lakeema. Her children were wonderful with my yorkie. Lakeema is my go to when it comes to me finding a sitter for my baby.
