“Shannon gave me wonderfully detailed updates about my pets while I was away. Everyone was well taken care of and happy under her care. I recommend her and will use her in the future!”


“Amazing! She was very good at communicating, such a sweet person and so wonderful with animals. I loved all the photos she sent. Will definitely be having her come back in the future!”


“This was Dee and Dennis’s first time meeting a stranger and they were expectedly shy. But Kate did a great job making sure they had everything they needed and kept me updated on that they were eating and drinking plenty even if they hid during a visit. They still came right back out when I got home so they were clearly well taken care of. Thanks Kate!”


“Always contacted me on the status of my shy pets. Bonnie tried patiently to engage with Ravin and Gracie. She was successful, and shared this with me with messages and pictures. I felt confident leaving my pets with Bonnie via Rover. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.”


“Hannah was AMAZING! She treated my dogs as if they were her own, even my small chihuahua mix who is scared of everyone and pretends to be a pit Bull. By the end of the second 30 minute visit they were on the same side of the doggy gate spending time together. She took tons of pictures which made us so happy to look at while we were gone. She even included pictures of the dogs food to show they ate and how much! (Our dogs only eat a little when we are gone, so refreshing to see they felt comfortable enough to eat with her). I recommend her a million percent she was extremely professional, easy to deal with, and again loved our dogs as if they were her own!”


“Alex was awesome to work with! He came the day before for a meet and greet, followed instructions, took great care of our puppy and communicated very well before/during/after visits. 10/10 recommend him for all your pet care needs!”


“Terry was wonderful! I felt comfortable leaving my cats in her hands. She communicated really well, kept me fully updated, and took great care of my boys. I'll definitely be booking with her again.”


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!

“Fantastic sitter. Very communicative while I was away. Stephenie was understanding and accommodating during my absence. I have a nervous rescue dog and she knew exactly how to approach him in order to make him feel comfortable. I was able to concentrate on what I had to do while I was away without worry. She will be my go-to sitter in the future. Highly recommended!!”


“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: Hi there! I’m Nicole — a young mom, grad student (finishing my degree this December 🎓), and full-time teacher with a lifelong love for animals. I’ve had dogs my entire life and can’t imagine a home without them! As an active, outdoorsy person, I’m happiest when I’m walking, hiking, or playing fetch — and I’d love to share that energy with your furry friend. Whether your pup needs a brisk walk, a snuggle session, or just some extra attention while you’re away, I’ll treat them like part of my own family. Reliable, caring, and experienced, I’d be honored to be your pet’s caregiver! 🐾 I am currently attending school full time and working 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! As an active young and personable person, I will make sure your pets are well taken care of!

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.

“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'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.
