“Alyssa was amazing! Otis can be a very picky, very eccentric dog; but he seemed perfectly comfortable with Alyssa and even asked for a snuggle in the morning. If he could talk, he’d probably rate her a 10/10. We would definitely book her again and recommend her to anyone with a more timid or anxious dog looking for an alternative to boarding, as well as anyone else!”
“Lavinia could not have done a better job looking after Ollie for 4 days last week! She communicated really well throughout the week, was super punctual, and went above and beyond as far as any request we made. Ollie had a fantastic week and we are looking forward to Lavinia taking care of him again! Thank you again, Lavinia!”
“Draco spent some time with Bethany this past weekend. She was amazing. Communicated amazingly and sent a ton of photos which I appreciate. I was super nervous leaving him but it seem like it went really well and he was happy when we got back to get him. We will be leaving him for 10 days coming up and after this past weekend it has put me at such ease knowing he is going somewhere he is loved and cared for.”
“I recently used Alicia for the first time, but it certainly will be the last! She took care of my dog and two cats for a week. My dog is a rescue who can be nervous around new people, but Sadie warmed up to her, and Alicia sent me lots of pictures of the cats on her lap, and Sadie sitting right next to her. That’s all I needed to know to know Alicia was great at what she does. The house was clean when I returned home, and everyone was happy. I highly recommend!”
“We were so happy to have found Kelli to watch our beagle and 2 cats while we were away for 5 days. Her communication was great, with many updates and pics, and we came home to happy pets and she even washed her sheets. Would definitely have her sit for us again!”
“Nikole took great care of our boys during the holidays! Our youngest pup can be a handful but everyone was happy and healthy when we got back. We so appreciate her help!”
“David is the first sitter we have used on Rover for our dogs and cat, while we were away for the weekend. He is phenomenal; our nervous pups took to him immediately and I got pics of relaxed, cuddling dogs - and our GSD is not typically a cuddler so this was even more remarkable. All the pets were calm and happy when we came home. He took great care of our home as well. We will definitely rebook! We are very happy with his care.”
“Emily went above and beyond in caring for our pets! She frequently communicated and sent pics. The animals looked well loved and happy giving us peace of mind. She also took care of unexpected problems with our pool and home without worrying us about it until she had found solutions to keep our stress low. She is the best!”
“We were very pleased with Linden. He sent us a lot of pictures of the dogs that showed us how relaxed and comfortable they were with him. We would have him again and have already referred him to a friend who may need his services.”
“Rene was great. She did everything asked of her. The best thing is that she spent most of her time at my home with the dogs! Most sitters only had a few hours they could be available through the day, and then would just sleep here. Rene dedicated her time to being here with my fur babies, which was the most important thing for me”
“Nina was a great sitter for our three dogs. Even before the booking and meet/greet, she asked questions to get to know our dogs and their routines. She’s very thorough and detailed. Nina communicated throughout the stay with pictures and updates on how they were doing. She kept the house clean also. Would recommend and book again!”
“Excellent sitter . Very good with updates and pictures during the sitting . I was very impressed with the attention given and the observations about the dogs needs as the sitting went on . Highly recommend .”
“Anika came to dog sit our two dogs (one adult and one puppy). She was so lovely and sweet - our dogs loved her. She was on time and provided photos throughout the day. We are very grateful to have found a trustworthy sitter!”
“Daniel was fantastic with our 8 month old chihuahua. Daniel sent photos and updates on our pup often. He was courteous and respectful of our home while we were gone. Our dog was clearly tired when we got home, which showed that Daniel played and spent a lot of time with him. I would definitely recommend Daniel as your next dog sitter!”
“Suzanne stayed in our house with our 2 dogs for 9 days and did an awesome job. She was a great communicator - we got daily updates which gave us so much peace of mind. She stepped in at the last minute after other plans feel through and dealt with our older dog's medical issues smoothly. And when we returned she had clearly put a lot of effort into making sure the house was clean and ready for us. Maybe the most impressive thing about Suzanne's work is that both of our dogs were really calm when we returned - happy to see us, but not overly crazed like they often can be.”
“Jada was amazing with my 3 dogs and cat. We had to go out of town for a few days and she stayed at our apartment with them and took such good care of them and the apartment! She updated me on how they were doing and sent a lot of pics without me needing to ask. We don’t leave our pets very often but Jada handled all their stress and behaviors like a champ. Already have her booked again and will definitely be using her for all our future pet needs!”
“Barbara was kind enough to provision and meet my 2 elderly pups, one with special needs. I am very happy with her services and highly recommend her for overnight house sitting. Thanks Barbara.”
About: I have been surrounded by animals my entire life. As a child my family would rescue dogs and cats and give them the life they deserved. I currently work at a doggie day care/rescue and it has been the most rewarding experience. I have lots of experience with puppies and seniors and everything in between. I have experience administering medications and caring for animals with special needs. I also feel comfortable caring for animals with different behavioral needs. If you are interested in any of my services I would love to set up a meet and greet :) I currently have a full time job at a dog day care / rescue. I normally work 5 days a week for 8 hours a day. I am willing to work around my schedule to help care for your pets. I would prefer a meet and greet before watching your pet for everyone’s safety and comfort. I will follow any rules and guidelines you have for your pet and keep you updated on our visits !
“My dogs were excited to see us but not out of their minds. That means they were happy and content while we were gone. Everything went very well with the care of our dogs.”

We couldn't have asked for a better housesitter! Joey took incredible care of our entire menagerie — dogs, cats, horses, chickens, ducks, fish, and even our axolotl! He went above and beyond, sending us daily pictures and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Communication was super easy and friendly from start to finish. He handled a couple of unexpected issues without any trouble and kept everything running smoothly. In addition to caring for the animals, he also watered the garden, brought in the mail, collected eggs, shocked the pool, and left the house spotless. We came home to happy animals and a clean, well-kept home. Five stars without hesitation — we’ll definitely be booking with him again!
We couldn’t be happier with Alex and Bethany as our home and pet sitters! While we were away, they cared for our three dogs and 4-month-old kitten in our home, going truly above and beyond. From the very first meeting, it was clear they genuinely love animals and would treat our girls like their own. Alex and Bethany took the time to understand each of our pets’ unique personalities and gave them all the care, patience, and attention they needed. We received daily (sometimes multiple) updates with the sweetest photos and videos, which instantly put our minds at ease. The dogs enjoyed plenty of playtime and cuddles, and our kitten was showered with affection and kept happy and entertained. We returned to four content, well-cared-for pets—and a spotless home! It’s rare to find sitters who combine such love, attentiveness, and professionalism. We are so grateful for the peace of mind they gave us and will absolutely be booking with them again.
It was such a relief having Hannah sit with our dog while in Rochester for an event which required our absence for long stretches of time. She was flexible with our schedule and sent us a video of how he settled in after we left. She carefully considered our requests and made suggestions based off of her knowledge of the area so that our dog would have an optimal experience - much appreciated! We are very happy with the care that she provided and will definitely request her again whenever we are in the area. Thank you again, Hannah!
Ashlynn took wonderful care of my dog while I was away for a long weekend. She sent multiple updates each day with pictures and info about his day. She took good care of the house and left it tidy as well. I would reccomend her to anyone needing drop in or overnight pet care.
Thank you so so much Jada for taking wonderful care of our very high maintenance animals! Pet sitting for a diabetic cat, an elusive cat, and a quirky dog who only walks where and when she wants to is not easy but they are all doing wonderful. Thank you again!
Maria is amazing! We have been repeat clients because she always takes great care of our dogs, and they absolutely love her! She provides us with at least a couple check-ins daily and plenty of photos to show how happy and well taken care of they are while we are out of town ☺️
Rene was great! My petsitter plans for the weekend fell through last minute, so I was happy to find her. We only adopted our pup 5 mo ago, &, being a rescue from a puppy mill, she is still scared of new people. But I knew Rene would have the patience & kindness needed for her. Rene stayed at the house, so my dog & cat had plenty of attention. And Rene kept in contact with me, including sending me pictures. She will be the one I contact next time I need a pet sitter!
Anna has been an amazing dog sitter for us more than once! She is responsive and sends many pictures. Our animals are calm and excited to see her. She watched our pets few multiple days in our home and left our home clean - even helped with our plants while we were away. I would highly recommend Anna!!
Annaliese made an initial visit with Chester to get to know him. Chester is 14 and has mobility issues so we talked about his requirements while we were away for about six hours. We were impressed with her approach to Chester - he's sometimes protective when visitors come into the house. They got along great! It turned out we had to cancel our plans so we didn't need a sitter. However, I wouldn't hesitate having Annaliese as a pet sitter.
I have booked Emalee for overnight dog sitting a number of times now. She is my go to when I am out of town and I want to rest easy knowing my pup is well cared for when I am gone. Thank you for treating her like one of your own. Not to mention the updates are so reassuring to get. Emalee is so respectful of the house and the space going above and beyond to make sure things are left tidy!!
Rohila was super responsive and great with our dog, who unexpectedly got really upset we were gone and ended up being a handful. The cats--even our normally super shy and nervous one--seemed calm and happy when we got back. And I couldn't even tell someone had been staying in our house. Thanks so much for everything, Rohila!
Cassidy was amazing! Our dogs loved her and she really took her time to get to know them and their routines. She was very respectful of our home and gave our dogs all the love and attention while we were away. We have already booked her again for future trips.
Drew was fantastic! It was my first time using her and as I got to learn more about her I learned she is very much trying to pursue a career in taking care of animals. I have a Pomeranian, who we all know can be high strung and bark a lot. She did not complain at all about his barking and said he behaved very well. She even cleaned and washed the blanket and pillow cover I gave her to use. She obviously did my dishes too. I already plan to book her again next year. She's a great find! And very sweet!
