Emily was fantastic. She took great care of our pups, house sitting for us for a few days. she sent us pictures and updates while we were away and took the initiative to ask questions if she didn't know something. She was very attentive and reliable. I would book her again and would recommend her services.

Barbara was committed through the house and dog sitting and patient when I was unable to communicate quickly due to my travel schedule. My two dogs had lots of time playing outdoors with her, and I feel like her stay helped my younger rescue pup come out of her shell to ‘strangers’ more :) She’s even been easier on the leash since I got home! :)

Ozzy was amazing! They stayed at our house and watched our golden retriever Scotch and cat Persephone while we were away for the Thanksgiving holiday. They sent us pictures & video of our fur babies and kept us updated on how they were doing. It’s important to us to have our pet sitters stay in our home while we are away, our animals get stressed in new environments, and Ozzy was so great! Our animals need alllll the attention, and Ozzy did not disappoint! They came over a week before to meet our Scotch & Percy and learn about the house. They even left a card for when we got home! Ozzy is fantastic, our animals loved them and we will definitely use them in the future when we go away. Thank you Ozzy!

About: Hello, thank you for reading my profile! About 20 years ago, one of my coworkers asked if I would be interested in caring for her Border Collie and cat while she was away. Being an animal lover, I jumped at the opportunity. I thoroughly enjoyed hanging out with her pets at her home and taking her dog for regular walks around their neighborhood. Word quickly spread among my coworkers, and I became known as our program's pet sitter. :) Soon, I was invited to care for one coworker's Golden Retriever, rabbit, and cat; another's two Labrador Retrievers; another's two cats; another's dog, fish, pony, and two horses; another's Old English Sheepdog and cats; another's cat and flock of chickens; another's Labrador Retriever, etc. Everyone told me I did a great job, thanked me for my warm and loving care of their animals, and said upon their return that their animals seemed happy, relaxed, and very well taken care of. :) Years later, my husband and I bought a house with a fenced yard, adopted a young dog from the Mohawk Hudson Humane Society's animal shelter who loved to play with other dogs, and started to watch other people's dogs at our house. Now that our dog is a senior dog, he seems to prefer quiet time more and to not enjoy having so many different dogs at our house as much as he did when he was younger, other than his two best dog friends. I still love taking dogs for walks, playing with cats and dogs, and cuddling with cats and dogs, so I decided to offer the service of house sitting instead of boarding. I truly enjoy caring for animals, and I would love to care for additional animals. Thank you for reading my profile, and please contact me if you would like to schedule a meet-and-greet! I look forward to meeting you and your pet(s)! Currently, I work remotely during the week, and I work as a care companion for older adults in their homes on Friday evenings and Sundays. I provide pet-centered care, knowing each animal has unique needs and preferences. I understand the importance of maintaining routines in fostering an animal's sense of contentment and wellbeing, and I will do my best to maintain familiar routines. I am detail oriented and follow instructions carefully. I am a homebody and am quiet, but I love spending time in nature with animals, particularly going on walks with dogs or playing fetch with dogs outside. I will care for your pets as I do my own. :)

This is Ashley’s fourth time staying with Lola, and I think it’s safe to say they are forever friends. Ashley was able to accommodate a late return home with an extra walk/feed which I greatly appreciated—but always, the best part is that I know she is taking great care of Lola, so I have peace of mind when I travel.

About: ❤️😻🐶❤️🐾I’ve been an animal lover my whole life!! I was a dog walker for one year, but there was too much driving involved everyday so I had to stop unfortunately. The pet sits I’ve done since then and now have been through close friends, not Rover, which may explain the little history I have on this app, but I have a lot more experience in real life. Thank you. I truly cherish any time that I get with a furry friend because they are so inherently loving and pure. I’m a fan of Ceasar Milan’s work and have learned a lot from him about animal communication and training. My best skill is being loving. I bring a calm and peaceful energy that works well with most animals. I can also be energetic and active if that is what is needed as well. I’m the person who might go to a party, but you’ll find me tucked away with the animals in the house hanging out with them instead! 😂 I’ve been a dog walker, and have sat for many different cats and dogs of my friends who unfortunately are not on Rover, but any one of them would vouch for me! I’m available most mornings and evenings because I’m working part time at 2 jobs that have varying and flexible schedules. I would love to sit for your pets on the weekends. And, if you are local to Albany, I can drop in several times during the day. I am respectful of each pet's and clients varying needs. Directions I will easily follow, and go above and beyond any way that I can! I being a loving and peaceful attitude to all environments I work in, you can believe your pet(s) will be in great hands..

About: I have had the opportunity to care for young puppies and elderly dogs over the last three years. Both ends of the spectrum require different levels of care, but more importantly, it requires love and patience. I am able to go for as many walks as needed, administer pain and behavioral medications, or just snuggle on the couch. I would be able to stop by for pet care in the morning before 9AM, during my lunch break around 1PM, and then after 5PM. All animals are on different schedules, but my flexibility hopefully will mesh with yours! I would first like to meet your animal before officially becoming their sitter. I want them to become acclimated with me and see if we would respond well to each other, especially with me entering into their home. For dogs, I can administer medications, go on walks, observe back yard play (if applicable) and provide them with all the food and treats they’re allowed. For cats, I can scoop and deeply clean litter, brush and maintain their fur if needed, and again, provide all the food and treats! Both also deserve some indoor play time as well, so more then happy to participate in play time

About: Ever since I was four years old I had my first puppy. I loved her with everything I had, I believe that love me and my family gave her made her have such a long life. She was a Pomeranian and chiwawa mix, she was said to live till 6 she lived till 15. I have also rescued each of my pets so I understand how to handle and gain trust from anxiety and scared dogs. I also have experience with puppies so I expect to have to clean messes and I am fine with that. I am 100% a dog person. I want dogs to be living their best lives and give them as much love as they give us. I handle stressful and intense situations well, I am good under pressure. I love all dogs little chiwawas to huge great danes, no pup phases me. I am also felxible! I currently work from home which makes dog care easily in my schedule. I have a dog in my apartment named Elton and I go by his schedule. We go on both a walk and to the park everyday. In home I like to keep my dog busy with toys and running around. When he needs outside time I will bring him on walks or to the park. I know of both a park with no dogs for those who prefer alone time and parks with kind dogs for those who like to play.

I'm sure I wouldn't travel as much if it wasn't for Jenna. To have someone you can depend on and feel 100% confident with your beloved pets, isn't an easy situation to find. It has been over six years, that Jenna has been my pet/house sitter. I am so lucky to have found that perfect someone that makes my time away from home that much more enjoyable. When I leave Jenna to care for my pets, I never worry. I know both my cat and dog are in very good hands. She is loving, caring and always there to take on the job. I trust her whole heartedly. I know many people who will not travel because they are afraid to leave their pets. I am blessed to know that all the fears and anxieties associated with leaving my furry friends, does not existent in my world, all thanks to Jenna :)

Andrea has taken care of my dog Sadie many times. Sadie is a nervous and sometimes difficult dog, especially with new people. Andrea has been fantastic with her. She loves Sadie and its mutual; she also is super reliable and communicative about clarifying when and what care is needed. She spends extra time caring for Sadie. She also has cared for other friends' animals for years, and I know they all would say the same. I recently had a bad experience with another dog sitter and it makes how great Andrea is stand out all the more. I give her the highest possible recommendation.

About: ❤️😻🐶❤️🐾I’ve been an animal lover my whole life!! I was a dog walker for one year, but there was too much driving involved everyday so I had to stop unfortunately. The pet sits I’ve done since then and now have been through close friends, not Rover, which may explain the little history I have on this app, but I have a lot more experience in real life. Thank you. I truly cherish any time that I get with a furry friend because they are so inherently loving and pure. I’m a fan of Ceasar Milan’s work and have learned a lot from him about animal communication and training. My best skill is being loving. I bring a calm and peaceful energy that works well with most animals. I can also be energetic and active if that is what is needed as well. I’m the person who might go to a party, but you’ll find me tucked away with the animals in the house hanging out with them instead! 😂 I’ve been a dog walker, and have sat for many different cats and dogs of my friends who unfortunately are not on Rover, but any one of them would vouch for me! I’m available most mornings and evenings because I’m working part time at 2 jobs that have varying and flexible schedules. I would love to sit for your pets on the weekends. And, if you are local to Albany, I can drop in several times during the day. I am respectful of each pet's and clients varying needs. Directions I will easily follow, and go above and beyond any way that I can! I being a loving and peaceful attitude to all environments I work in, you can believe your pet(s) will be in great hands..

This past summer, our cat Augie had a medical emergency while under Kenedy's care (to no fault of theirs). Kenedy acted swiftly and thoughtfully in responding to Augie's needs. They were communicative and professional from start to finish. My partner and I are incredibly grateful for Kenedy being there and catching this issue before it progressed. Augie made a quick recovery and it was all due to Kenedy's quick response. I highly recommend Kenedy for all pet-sitting jobs.

About: Ever since I was four years old I had my first puppy. I loved her with everything I had, I believe that love me and my family gave her made her have such a long life. She was a Pomeranian and chiwawa mix, she was said to live till 6 she lived till 15. I have also rescued each of my pets so I understand how to handle and gain trust from anxiety and scared dogs. I also have experience with puppies so I expect to have to clean messes and I am fine with that. I am 100% a dog person. I want dogs to be living their best lives and give them as much love as they give us. I handle stressful and intense situations well, I am good under pressure. I love all dogs little chiwawas to huge great danes, no pup phases me. I am also felxible! I currently work from home which makes dog care easily in my schedule. I have a dog in my apartment named Elton and I go by his schedule. We go on both a walk and to the park everyday. In home I like to keep my dog busy with toys and running around. When he needs outside time I will bring him on walks or to the park. I know of both a park with no dogs for those who prefer alone time and parks with kind dogs for those who like to play.
