“Marti did a great job staying with my girls for a few days! I had lots of updates and pictures and my ladies just loved Marti! Great communication and an excellent experience.”

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.

“Shelby is WONDERFUL with both my high energy beagle/lab mix and with my little old shih tzu. She sends pictures while I’m gone, is very meticulous with notes at a meet up and updates as well. I trust her in my home and with my pups. Highly recommend.”


“Great with our dog! He’s a 90 lbs husky/malamute who gets daily medication and a special diet. Kelly was excellent with him! She was great with the medication instructions and feeding, took him on long daily walks, and was very caring towards him! I would 100% book with Kelly again”


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.

“Rachel was wonderful with our Maggie! She was very responsive to our text messages and also so flexible with our schedules and everything involving our dog. She stayed in our home with Maggie, and we returned to our house the way we left it. We highly recommend Rachel for your next pet sitter!”


About: From the first moments I could remember, I have always been around and caring for dogs and cats. I'm also a professional equine bodyworker, with medical experience that is easily translated over to our smaller, 4-legged friends. I take a gentle and intuitive approach with animals, focusing on positive reinforcement. I will care for your pets as if they were my own. I have plenty of flexibility in my schedule. If staying at your home, I will never be gone for more than 8 hrs at a time. Weekends are usually no issue to schedule around either While staying at your home, I stick to the routine you have developed with your pets to make it as stress-free as possible. I recognize the importance of structure with dogs and cats, and losing that while their humans are away can be a big stressor. I will do my best to act as an extension of you while you are away to ensure the most personalized care.

About: I have had and taken care of dogs since a very young age. I have always taken pride to help care for dogs. Even with special abilities or medical problems. My dog Luna was Diagnosed with Epilepsy. So I am experienced and know what to do it high risk situations I work a full time job Monday through Friday from 8:30-5. I am free anytime after 5pm during the week. I am unable to do weekends or stay over nights. So if your looking for a 4-5 hour sitter. I'm your person! I will not be able to take your dog to my house. I can crate, walk, watch, or anything you would like me to do.

About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong dog lover with plenty of hands-on experience caring for pets. I’ve owned many dogs throughout my life and currently share my home with two happy, well-behaved four-year-olds who are walked, bathed, and spoiled with love on a regular basis. Friends and family often rely on me to pet sit because they know I’m attentive, trustworthy, and caring with animals, always making sure their specific needs are met. I also have a 2-year-old daughter who adores animals just as much as I do, so your pets will be surrounded by lots of love and attention in our home. I’m happy to host your pets here or care for them in the comfort of your home, whichever makes them feel most at ease. You can count on me to treat your pets like family, because to me, that’s exactly what they are Accommodations can be made to adjust to whatever your needs may be. I currently work a hybrid model that offers flexibility and only need to be in my office three weekdays. The remainder of the week, I spend working in my home office (making sure I take plenty of breaks for puppy snuggles) My house is set up to meet the needs of a dog owner and the location is very quiet and streets are not busy. There are gated areas in my home to prevent dogs from going into rooms they shouldn't be in, or to simply give anyone space if needed. We love to play with our puppy friends in our fenced in back yard. My pets follow a daily routine and I am excited to see how I can help care for your pet while you are away!

“Sarah took amazing care of our dog while we were away! Frequent pictures and responses put our minds at ease knowing that our dog was well taken care of and happy. We will definitely be booking with Sarah again!”


“We had Sofia house sit and watch our dog while we went out of town and she was awesome! Sent lots of updates and took such good care of our pup and our home! We will definitely be requesting her again!”


About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities since I was 20. Over the years, friends and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and love on their pets like they were my own! I’m comfortable with cats, shy pups, high energy breeds, and older dogs that need a gentler approach. I haven’t worked in a professional kennel or daycare but I’ve spent my whole life around animals and know how to keep them safe, happy, and relaxed. I work full time during the day, so I’m available for evening visits, weekend care, or early morning visits. My schedule isn’t flexible during working hours, I’m reliable, communicative, and always on time when booked in advance. I currently live in an apartment so I don’t board animals in my home but I take safety and boundaries seriously when visiting clients’ homes. I’ll follow your instructions closely and send updates so you always know your pup is in good hands.

“Melissa took amazing care of my two pups, sent regular updates and made both myself and them feel at ease. They haven’t had a sitter in years that they didn’t know prior, and one of my pups has alot of anxiety with new people, but warmed up to Melissa at lightning speed and I could tell from the photos she was having a blast. Absolutely recommend Melissa!”


About: I've always had a passion for animals since I was very little. I was never able to have them of my own growing up because my dad was highly allergic. Once I graduated high school I moved out and rescued my first dog from a backyard breeder. He is a Pitbull mix. 4 months later I rescued my golden saint from a hording situation which ended up in all of her animals getting taken away. I realized I wanted to help save more animals so I ended up becoming a foster mom. My first foster was a 7 year old Rottweiler named Sabrina. I only had her a short 3 months before I was told she had a stomach tumor that was not curable. I unfortunately made the decision to get her cremated and the last words I said to her was " I promise I will save as many animals like you as I possibly can." I kept that promise to her after 8 years already and plan to for many many more! Fast forward to today, I have the same 2 dogs and added one more to my little family. He is a Catahoula Leopard dog and was my first foster fail. I wanted to extend my experience even more so now I pet sit/dog walk as well! I am experienced with senior dogs, puppies, aggressive dogs as well as dogs with high anxiety I have taken care of all sorts of animals such as hamsters, Guinea pigs, birds, snakes, miniature pigs, and of course cats and dogs! I treat every animal like my own and I guarantee I will become their best friend! My goal is to eventually own a building and name it in Sabrina's memory:) I am currently working part time at UPS from 4am-8am (for the health benefits) so I will have plenty of time during the day and night to play with your fur baby! I am available for in home stays in your own home, overnights, drop ins, and dog walks on week days and weekends. If you see a date that is marked unavailable please still reach out to me as I might have some spots open or a last minute cancellation for those days. It is first come first serve so book while the dates are still available! In home/overnights- This includes play time, bathroom breaks, food and water replenishment, medication administration, baths if needed, multiple walks, picture/video updates, and lots of snuggles! Drop ins- This includes food and water replenishment, bathroom breaks and a little bit of play time! Dog walking- I offer 1/2 hour walks and 1 hour walks

“Shauna was great with out two dogs. She took great care of them and took care of the house. She kept us updated and sent pictures throughout her stay. I highly recommend her and will be asking her to dogsit again.”


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 view pets as part of the family and will treat your fur baby same way. I can come walk,play give treats and pets. Make sure water is clean and full. I am knowledgeable in meditation administraton and care for senior dogs as well as puppies and dog behavior in general. Working part time. It would be great for weekly but also here and there works too! Let me know what your looking for hopefully we can make it work! I am a foster mom and volunteer for Buddy's second chance, so I have lots of exposure and experience. I also have a fenced yard and taught my dogs neighborhood etiquette but have lots of leash walking experience and I am well versed on dog behavior. I carry treats to encourage trust and respect boundaries.

“Due to medical reasons my husband and I had to go to Pittsburgh. We needed a pet sitter on short notice, we found Ciara. She was pretty booked up,but, we needed her for 3 days. She wanted to help us, so she came to our house for a meet and greet, discussed what was needed for our Clifford, we only needed her to come and let him out a few times a day. She was great, and you can just tell she is an animal lover. texted us when she was at our home, shared pictures of our boy, and even gave him a bath!! So, when we need a dog sitter again she will be the one we call, hopefully she wont be to booked up.”
