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.

“Melissa is great with communication and my K9 kids LOVE her. I've booked her for two separate upcoming weeks while I'm away for work. She's also officially my permanent sitter.”

“We booked Madison for drop in visits with our dog Milo. Madison was responsible and wonderful with Milo! Her love for animals certainly shines through her personality! Thank you Madison!”


“I'm so happy with the care that Sadie had received this past weekend from Audrey L. She was awesome and treated Sadie like she was her own. I would definitely book with again and highly recommend her.”


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.

About: Hi all! Thanks for taking the time to view my profile! Some of my experience includes in-home sitting for various dogs for multiple years, fostering with Boot n' Kit Canine Rescue with over 16 8-week-old puppies, fostering with Buddy's Second Chance Rescue for dogs newborn-senior, and volunteering in general with Buddy's Second Chance Rescue. 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!

“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.”

About: I work as a nurse during the day, but what i love more than caring for people, is caring for animals. I’ve always grown up with lots of dogs and cats and now i have a beautiful farmhouse that’s perfect for sitting. I promise to provide the best care possible for your loved ones 🫶🏻 I currently work as a nurse during the day but i have flexibility in my schedule to stop for potty breaks and playtime. When i don’t have my toddler, it’s just me so sitting will work perfectly into my schedule. My house was built for dogs and cats with a built in water bowl and doggy door. I don’t have a fenced in yard but i have a large yard out in the country surrounded by fields. I can always use a long leash that allows for plenty of space to run as well. My house is on a back road so it’s perfect to safely walk and run with animals too!

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.

About: I’m a part-time esthetician and devoted dog lover, ready to shower your pup with the same care, love, and attention I give to my clients! I’m currently working part-time in the evening, so I’ll have plenty of time to care for your pet during the day! Available: Monday & Wednesday 7am-5pm I can board or watch your dog in their own personal home, providing loving care, playtime, and cuddles to ensure they feel comfortable and relaxed while you’re away.

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.
