“Shannon visited our cat everyday for a half hour as we requested. She updated us each day and Boots seemed to respond well to her. She did a great job! We would definitely use her again.”
“Kate was outstanding in taking care of my cat. I was completely at peace on my vacation seeing daily updates and pics and knowing my cat was having a good time. I would definitely get Kate to watch my cat again.”
“Colleen was absolutely wonderful with my dog this weekend! I reached out on fairly short notice and she was incredibly accommodating with her schedule. She was also very flexible when it came to timing and working around my specific needs. Colleen's communication was excellent throughout. She kept me updated and gave me peace of mind while I was away. It's clear she genuinely cares about the animals she watches. I wouldn't hesitate to book with her again and would definitely recommend her to other pet parents!”

About: I have many animals at home and love taking care of them. I have watched and taken care of many pets throughout my childhood and find a connection with eat pet to help them trust me. I’m currently looking for a new job so I will be available at any time for your needs! I can do any time during the week besides Sundays! I will follow any direction given to me to take care of pets and make sure they are happy and safe! I also will make sure to watch them and make sure they are happy and healthy!
“AlexMatthew was such a pleasure to work with! He not only cared for my animals, but noticed that someone else had been in my house while I was away. (Just my daughter :)... ❤️ I truly appreciate all he did & will not hesitate to ask for him again!”
About: I’ve taken care of and loved my own animals growing up, I have my own dog and two cats who I love dearly and work at the local Humane Society where I take care of 50+ dogs and cats on a daily basis!! I’m very experienced with behavior, giving medicine, you name it! I’m currently working full time, 4 10hr days so my availabilities are sunday- tuesday for dog walking. Sunday-Saturday for check ins! I’m hoping with time I can expand my hours and offer more availability! My dog Arrow loves all and any animals, I can bring him with me to play your pets and keep them comfortable and happy! Working at the shelter I’m very diligent at monitoring the animals and will make sure your pet is kept safe, and if I have any concerns I wouldn’t hesitate to reach out.
“Landry and her husband did a great job taking care of our cat. They did a good job with the basics (food, water, etc) and gave him his medication. I got pictures from each visit when they were playing with him.”
“This was the 2nd time using Terry and I couldn't be happier! Very reliable and goes the extra mile when needed. Definitely took the worry out of leaving Princess Molly for a week.”
About: Large dominant dog experience. Drop in visits and walks during the week available at this time. New puppies to seniors and special needs that need some love. Early morning and late day drop ins and walks. I work mid shift with flexible hours. Looking to help with short potty breaks before pet parents can get home from out of town. We use crates but understand it's not necessary for all dogs at home. I need to know the client's local veterinarian in case of emergency and if the dogs know basic obedience when coming to your home.
“Stephenie was amazing with Minnie. She stuck to routine and scheduled times (super reliable). Minnie was spoiled with lots of exercise and attention, not caring that her family was away at all. We'll have Stephanie back anytime we need a dog sitter.”
“Hunter is very reliable and is always so good to our pup! She even sends us pictures of our dog during her visits so we know that he is taken care of 😊”
“Julia was great! She made everything easy and did exactly what we asked during her visits. She sent us some really sweet photos of our cat Cowpoke, who’s usually shy around strangers but seemed at ease and friendly with her! It was a smooth experience overall. I’d definitely recommend her to other cat owners and would be happy to book with her again!”
About: I have lived with and cared for dogs of every kind since I can remember. Friends and family rely on me to care for their dogs, whether this be feeding them, walking them, or even just check ins I am currently attending school full time so I turned to Rover which allows me to work part time and work on my free time I can do check ins, overnight care, or even date night care! I currently do not own any dogs but as an active young and personable person, I will make sure your dogs are well taken care of
“Jamie made sure both of my kitties had plenty of food. He stayed for an hour each time. They were warming up to him by the fourth day. He will do what you want him to do to take care of your kitties. Thank you, Jamie”
About: My whole life I have always had dogs. I absolutely love all animals. I have experience with puppies and senior dogs. It is so much fun to meet new animals! I have no job as of right now and I only go to school from 9:10 am-2:26 pm with an hour and a half break everyday from 11:22 am -12:58 pm. I will do anything asked of me to help take care of your fur babies to cause you no stress while you are away! I will even take them to the groomers and vet if needed.
About: I have watched my friends dogs, walking them, feeding, cleaning and watching them over night up to 2 weeks at a time. I love dogs, they truly are a man's best friend. I make sure to give them the attention and love they deserve and make sure they are fed, quenched, happy and never bored. I love being outdoors so I can make sure they get to walk, run, play at the park or walk around the block. Watching my friends dog for 2 weeks while he was on vacation was an amazing experience. I grew very close to the dog, named Toby. He slept in my room every night, I walked him every morning, bathed him, fed him. I am grateful I got the chance to dog-sit.
About: I've had experience with an assortment of animals for a large part of my life. I volunteered an animal shelter in Scottsville, NY for about two years walking dogs of every size and taking care of cats. I have also housed two large German Shepherds and three Dachshunds, both of which are very demanding breeds. I currently reside in Owego, NY, and I work part-time in Endicott, NY Monday through Wednesday from 8AM to 5PM. I may provide brief surfaces on evenings these days, such as a walk or stop-in. Any other day is fair game. Per the restrictions of my apartment complex, I won't be able to care for or bring pets in my home. However, I would be sure to respect any client's home I may enter.

Alaska Y.
“Where can I start?!?! Alaska is absolutely amazing. She comes to my home when my girl is all by herself and rescues her from loneliness to enjoy her company. My girls get so excited when she hears her coming up the stairs and greets Alaska with lots of hugs and kisses. Sometimes I’m jealous of how happy my girl gets and I think she loves Alaska more than me. She takes her out for walks, rides, playtime, and she even gets special doggy ice cream dates. And let’s not forget to mention a nice doggy bath. She updates me with pictures daily and just melts my heart to see she’s so happy. She has even made a run to my house when I was stuck at work and worried about my girl when it wasn’t her scheduled time. She sat at my house with her, hand feeding her to get her to eat. She really shows love and compassion for animals and I was so lucky to have found her. She has given me great advice when I’ve questioned things going on and always had an answer.”

Robyn S.
“I’ve known Robyn for 7 years now and she is still my go-to for all things dog related! Her depth of knowledge is impressive but beyond her years of studying breed structure, pedigrees, health issues and judging trends is a woman with a huge heart for all things canine. Robyn always puts her dogs first in her life, and I would trust her with my own dog any day. In fact, I have! Robyn has taken my dog to Cornell for a non-emergency procedure and I had full faith everything would go fine, and it did! Robyn has helped me both in and out of the show ring and is always a listening ear, or quick to give advice. You will not be disappointed in the care your dog will receive with Robyn, either on the end of a leash or cuddling on a couch!”
