“Margaret took great care of our senior dog Rocco, and cared for my aquariums too! The neighbors now know and like her as they run into each other on walks. Dog party! We are very happy with her care and we don’t worry knowing she’s there.”
“Kendra always does such a great job with our pets! This is our second time booking with her and definitely not our last. We are so happy to have someone who can watch our babies when we have to go away. Thanks again Kendra!! :)”
“Kristi was amazing with our crew !! She knew we had just taken in our Gracie as a rescue pug and gave her all the extra love and snuggles that she needed to feel safe and loved ....she spent lots of extra time in our home to ensure they didn't feel our absence even working remotely at our place which was great for our pugs/cats. She kept us informed of daily events and sent lots of snuggle snaps which made us feel better. Kristi even left us homemade biscotti for our return home. I can say with full confidence that Kristi is motivated by love of animals and helping others...we will most certainly hire her back to our home for all our Rover needs :)”

“Diana stayed overnight with our two dogs for two nights. She stayed inour home, Both dogs were happy and content when we arrived home. She gave us several photos and updates throughout the two days.

Thank-you, Diana.”

About: I have helped take care of the pets in my family since I was little! I love the distinct personalities and quirks that different animals have. Spending time with animals is good for the soul and I would love to help take care of them in my free time! I am currently working part time, and need to be in Oswego on Wednesdays and Fridays until 4. I particularly enjoy going for walks on these days to move after a drive. I am free the rest of the week and available on weekends! I follow the directions given to me for petcare, and make sure animals get plenty of attention and play time while their owners are gone while being respectful to their space.
About: While growing up, there were always 6 dogs in the house ranging from chow chows to a small morkie. With my friends and family, I’m the first one on-call to watch their furry friends. I’ve taken care of a Great Pyrenees puppy all the way to a 15 yr old chihuahua. I’m open to overnight pet sitting or even a simple walk :) I typically work Tuesday through Saturday during the day. So I’d be available for morning walks, morning and afternoon potty breaks, or even overnight stays! Sundays and Mondays I have open availability! Since every dog is different, I try to gauge the typical day based on the information provided. If your pup is very social and loves to explore, I’ll bring them on a scenic walk. If you have couch potato, that’s no problem at all!
“This is the second time we’ve booked with Susan for her to stay multiple nights at our house to watch our boys. There’s a reason we re-booked! She’s super helpful, caring and communicative. Our animals are in good hands when Susan is around.”

Brighton pet parents share their Rover experiences
Nia took care of our 3 big, lively dogs in our home while we were overseas for a week. She did a fabulous job with their various idiosyncrasies, including one who is reactive with other dogs. She communicated well, giving us a daily report and pictures, and also kept us informed of issues concerning the house. She administered supplements and kept an eye on an injury. The boys got plenty of exercise and playtime, and she seemed to genuinely love them. We would hire her again in a heartbeat.
Elle took great care of our dog while we were away, sending us pictures and updates daily. She was respectful of our space, and left our apartment spotless. It was great to know our dog was well taken care of and we would highly recommend her as a pet sitter to anyone!

This included text and pictures. We are very happy with the care the dogs received. She walked and cuddled them and allowed them to sleep with her. Most importantly she asked questions when unsure. Thank-you, Diana.
We have a special needs dog who doesn't prefer meeting new people. Hannah was great about understanding our dog's needs and was patient about meeting him several times to allow him to get comfortable before the first longer stay. She was great about communicating and sharing pictures. It was a relief to know our dog was at home in good hands while we were traveling!
So happy that Savannah took care of my fur babies! I have a dog and a cat, and I enjoyed the daily updates and photos. She was always so pleasant to communicate with and took wonderful care of my home also. My cat, who is not friendly with everybody but immediately came over to meet her when she came in the first time, and I thought that was pretty impressive. I highly recommend her for any fur baby and house sitting gig!
Cate is awesome. She was very enthusiastic to stay with my dogs. She kept me up to date with messages and pictures. She was respectful of my house., paid lots of attention to my dogs and even cleaned up a mess my dogs made while she was out. I hope she is available next time I need a sitter. I would definitely have her come again.
Rachel was awesome! I will definitely book her again. I have a very handsome eight-year-old German shepherd who has separation anxiety. He is not a fan of anyone that he doesn’t really know watching him. He usually won’t come out of our bedroom, go outside, and he also won’t eat. None of this was a problem with Rachel! She won him over by giving him a bowl of whipped cream and turkey, daily. It was very comforting knowing he was having a nice weekend with her. She is definitely an overall great person!
