“Laura was absolutely amazing as a pet sitter and went above and beyond in every way. She took wonderful care of our two cats, making sure they were well-fed, had fresh water, and that their litter boxes were always clean. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about their well-being. It gave us complete peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. I highly recommend Laura to anyone looking for a pet sitter who provides exceptional service and truly treats your pets like her own.”
About: Hi! My (preferred) name is Daisy & I've been taking care of dogs ever since we adopted my very first canine best friend in 2011! Friends and family have trusted me to take care of their fur babies and I've been handling & working with dogs almost every day for almost two years as a doggy daycare attendant, kennel staff, special pup advisor, and group coordinator. I love taking them on walks and practicing sits, stays, downs, give paws, etc... I absolutely love all animals and promise to take care of your babies as if they were my own! I currently work part-time so I'll have plenty of time to check in on & spend with your pets! I'm available Saturdays before 12pm, Sundays all day, & most holidays before 3pm. Weekday hours vary and I will always be super transparent about my availability! Your pets' safety is important to me so please feel free to leave detailed instructions and I will follow them to a T. I will also keep consistent contact with you, providing (p)updates with photos! I can crate your dog(s) if needed as well. I'm also Red Cross animal first aid certified. I've handled several scuffles and am able to remain calm in any situation that may arise. Your pet will always be safe with me!
About: Hi, I’m Sabrina and I am 30 years old based in Williamsville, NY! While I am new to Rover, I am not new to pet sitting :) We always had at least one dog in the house as I was growing up, and I’ve lived with dogs of all sizes, from chihuahuas and pomeranians to goldens and labs. Family and friends have trusted me to watch their pets since I was 16. I walk them, play with them, make sure they have food and water. I’ve bathed them and given them medicine. Often I’m staying over for days at a time, but I’m also happy to pop in and out when needed. I recently returned from living abroad and am taking some time before looking for full time work again, so I have a lot of flexibility to provide services as needed, any time of day, any day of the week :) I treat every pet I meet as if they were my own, giving them lots of love and meeting them where they’re at - whether that is with exercise, playtime, cuddling or simply existing near them so they aren’t alone. I love sharing update pics with owners when requested. Your pet’s schedule becomes my schedule, not the other way around. It’s important to me they maintain their routines and I’m always happy to oblige.
“Erica is amazing. She made sure the air conditioning was working after it turned off so the kitty was comfortable and she kept is litter box clean and happy. Will definitely book again”
“Madison is very thoughtful and I felt very good about her watching my cats:) she checked in frequently with pictures and updates! My cat is diabetic and she was so helpful with her pictures and updates! Would book again!”
About: I have loved animals all my life. I think they really are a part of a family, and they deserve to be absolutely spoiled and shown all the love they can take I am self-employed so I have a very flexible schedule. I don’t work a regular 9 to 5 so I am home longer than the average person I make sure to take care of all of their needs. Make sure they are fed, always have water, entertained, played with, loved on and completely taken care of
About: Hello! My name is Jessica. I have been a licensed veterinary technician for 4 years. I work part time at an exotics only clinic. If you have any small companian animals, reptiles, or feathered friends that need care please feel free to ask me! The goal of my job is to relieve the stress you may have from not being able to come home to your beloved pets, or to know that they are in safe hands if you go on a trip. I do have a full-time job near Clarence, NY. I work 7:30am to 4pm Monday through Friday. I do get hour long lunches and can stop for lunch visits if you are close. As a veterinary technician I can monitor your pet more closely in case they are sick. Since I do not know your pet or how they react in certain situations, I would take extra caution when going outside or for walks to make sure I keep them safe.
“Christina was communicative and more than willing to work with our kitties! Pictures and videos were sent to show me how our cats were doing, and she was respectful of our (and their) boundaries. She was also flexible with key pickup and return (which was very appreciated with my schedule). I would absolutely recommend her for caring for your fur babies.”

I also come from a long line of vets and vet techs, which makes me confident. I adopted my own dog in May of 2022 (whom is a great foster sibling!) so all inquiries must be comfortable with a well trained 30lb resident dog. Please message me with any questions, I am super flexible and willing to accommodate! I currently work a hybrid position, allowing me to take Rover Requests on most Sundays, Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays! I am hopeful my availability will increase in the future! Dogs ARE allowed in my apartment, and I have paid all fees incase of any damage. Your pup will stay leashed outside of unit. Depending on the dogs size, age, temperament, etc., we have various equipment of our own including a crate (s), play pen, toys, dishes, blankets, beds, etc. My commitment to your dog includes care, but additional love and affection as well. I do photography on the side, and your dog is guaranteed to be a model!
“This was our first experience with Rover and we couldn’t have found a better sitter than Michelle. One of cats is a special needs pet and Michelle was not phased by it a bit. We knew they were in good hands with her attention to both cats. Michelle gets two paws up from us!!”
About: I’ve had three dogs of my own for about 12 years. I have two pugs and one frenchie. My oldest dog is 12 and I give him his medicine and help him get around.

About: Throughout college, I worked at a grooming shop and walked and babysat a handful of dogs for several years. I have experience and am comfortable with big, small, shy, nervous, aggressive, sick, traumatized and old animals, so I can handle whatever your pet might throw my way. And I love to run; I'm happy to run with your dog if they want. I'm also comfortable administering medications, transporting animals, bathing, blow drying, and following training instructions. I wouldn't want to undo any of the hard work you have done. Most importantly, my clients have always trusted me to be an honest and dependable person. Can't wait to meet you and your furry friend! I’m a full time student and have a part time job. I have availability on weekends for drop in visits and dog sitting in your home. I also have a car. My dog at home is not good with other dogs, so I will come to your home and follow instructions that you give me about security.
