“Ayah is wonderful! We are new to Rover and she has made our experience nothing but positive. She is so amazing with our dog Doug and takes the time to send us a review of their walk and take pictures of him! It truly is the best part of our day. She is reliable, caring, and a natural dog lover. Thumbs up all the way! We look forward (and Doug) to continuing to work with her!”


“I recently had the pleasure of hiring Jessica to walk my pit bull, Roxanne, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Jessica is incredibly professional, punctual, and has a natural affinity with dogs. Roxanne, who can be quite energetic and strong-willed, took to Jessica immediately”


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.

“Melissa was great and Dizzy loved her! She was a great help while I was traveling and Dizzy needed a midday walk while my wife was at work. We will definitely book Melissa again in the future!”


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: I’m a fun, patient, attentive and big-hearted animal lover with a lifetime of experience caring for pets. Growing up with a variety of animals, including dogs, cats, and reptiles, I’ve developed a deep understanding of their needs. I’ve cared for pets ranging from reptiles and fish, to senior dogs and cats, to puplies and brand new kittens. At 19, I adopted my first dog, a Bull Mastiff, and raised him from a 6-week-old puppy to a 140-pound adult. I’ve also cared for my family’s cats after my mother passed, and I lovingly adopted a 12-year-old Cairn Terrier, providing him with care until his passing at 16.5 years. While I have no formal training, I have a natural ability to train animals with patience and love, always using a firm yet gentle approach. I’m experienced in handling a variety of species, including reptiles like ball pythons and geckos, and have even assisted with rescuing wildlife. What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals, my diverse experience, and my ability to provide both playful and responsible care. Your pet will feel loved, safe, and well-cared for with me! I live alone, lost the last of my own critters, and am a seasonal traveler. I go to Argentina for a couple months every winter so I can’t responsibly own pets of my own, but I am built to be around them! I need animals in my life so this is as much for me as it is for you. I work remotely so I have a lot of flexibility especially when it comes to sitting or walking from my home or town. I can be very attentive to your animal to whatever fits their comfort level. I am very active so am I game for hikes, walks, and lots of playing, but can also enjoy a nice sit and snuggle with an elderly friend. I live alone so there would be no triggers from children, other animals, etc. once they’re in my house. I live walking distance from several trails and parks. I also love taking dogs for car rides! Whatever they wish. I am very attentive so I ensure your baby will be content and cared for to the best of our ability.

I carry treats to encourage trust and respect boundaries.


About: I have a big house with room to run and play. I'm happy taking care of the puppies and dogs that aren't quite fully potty trained. My family dog in Florida is not spayed so I have experience with females in heat. I don't mind cleaning up messes because the house is all mine. I have 2 small dogs living with me that are very spoiled. My little Einstein has allergies so I buy him special food, shampoo, conditioner, etc to help with his itchy skin. He is a quiet little one who loves meeting new pups. My little Lola loves to cuddle and chew on her bone. You can be certain that your dog will be spoiled too. I also have 2 cats, Harley and Quinn, who have their own room where they love to play. As for me, I'm a Preschool Teacher. My work is right down the road so I come home and let my dogs out during lunch. My dogs go out every couple hours when I'm home. Spending time with my dogs and cats is probably one of my greatest joys.

About: I am a compassionate, loving and caring person who has always had a love for animals, especially a great love for dogs! My family has always had dogs, so I am experienced with all different breeds, ages and sizes. My almost 13 year old Westie is diabetic and blind, so I am very aware of senior dog needs and can perform any health care or give meds as needed. I am working part time from home, and can create my own schedule, so I am available to tend to your fur babies anytime of any day! I am here to make sure your baby is safe, healthy, happy and having fun. I am ready to play with a high energy giant dog, or walking a 6 pound mini pup!

About: Hi! I’m Mary. I am a stay at home mom of 5 year old twins and a 12 year old shihtzu mix. I became a dog walker 5 days a week in September of 2024 by chance and realized how much I love it. I’ve been around animals my whole life, currently including my 8 chickens! If you’re looking for a dog walker, I walk in all weather. I can also just pop in and hang out for a bit and let them out for a potty, change litter boxes, feed, etc! I am experienced with all types of dogs, cats, and other animals and I hope to meet yours too! Currently booked for weekly walks 12-1pm on Monday Tuesday and Fridays. Only other commitment is school drop off and pickup for my twins, otherwise open! I am open to all types of animal care and have experience with elderly dogs. I have cared for big and small dogs, cats, chickens, fish, etc.

About: I am a true dog lover! I have been fostering with a local rescue for a few years now. I don’t have any pets of my own, so your pup will have my full attention. I have experience with lots of breeds as well. I know how to read dog body language, and I have dealt with all different personality types from shy and timid to outgoing and high energy. I would love to spend time with your furry friends! If exercise for your dog doesn’t fit into your busy schedule on the weekend, I would be happy to help! I am a very responsible, loyal and trustworthy person who has lots of experience with dogs. Your dogs safety is my # 1 priority always.

About: My family has had dogs my whole life of different types and sizes, now I raise a mini Bernedoodle. I have taken multiple puppy training courses which I could apply to any age dog. I work in law enforcement. My schedule is flexible due to my job and I will update my availability ASAP according to my work schedule. I spoil my dog and will do the same for any that come into my home. No human food is my big rule. My Mini-Bernedoodle is just over one year now and raising her has been very rewarding. I have taken multiple training courses on training young dogs but could apply these concepts to any age dog. I have a good size yard which I am able to walk my dog around when she goes to the bathroom. My yard is 3/4 fenced in and my neighbor doesn’t have any pets.

“Marcella was WONDERFUL! Due to some health reasons my mom couldn't walk her pooch. Marcella came 3x a week to walk her dog for a few weeks. She was prompt friendly & the dog loved on her the moment they met! I highly recommend Marcella & wouldn't hesitate to hire her again if the need arrises.”

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.

Christina G.
“Christina adores her orange tabby kitty. He’s enjoyed living with her for an amazing fifteen and a half years so far. Since he’s geriatric with a few health issues, Christina ensures he gets his daily medicine, keeps him well hydrated and fed, and makes sure he has plenty of toys to play with and cozy spots to relax in. As much as she would like more animals, she knows her cats personality well enough to know he would be happiest in a single pet home. Christina has watched my two cats while I’ve gone on vacations before. Each time, I’ve had no issues. The litter boxes were clean, she fed them as directed (I had very specific instructions since my one cat had kidney disease, was on a prescription diet, and liked his food warmed up with a little water mixed in), and she always sent me pictures and videos since she knew I missed them so much. You can trust your fur babies with her!”
