“Jackie made it possible to leave on a 2 week vacation. All 3 of our dogs were well taken care of. Jackie did everything we asked. We will definitely ask Jackie to take care of our family again. Thank you”
“Melissa is fantastic, and I won’t be taking my pal anywhere else from now on. She was accommodating to my busy travel schedule and sent me update pics while I was gone! Also, he came home tired so I know he enjoyed his stay. I wish I could leave more than 5 stars!”
“As for the first timer, the sitters exceeded my expectations. Normally I don’t leave my dogs with strangers however with this first time experience I have read other reviews about the sitters and their reviews have kept true to their words about the experiences and I have to say I stand by other of the reviewers with my dogs. They have kept up to par with communications and pictures and I felt good knowing I made the right choice with the sitters. I would not mind having them again for my dogs ❤️”
“Mindy was fantastic with my Argyle sending daily updates with photos and video. I would definitely recommend Mindy and have Argyle stay with her in the future.”
“Erika and Nick were wonderful while watching my pup! They were very communicative right from the beginning, even took time to meet up with me before drop off to a sure that our dogs got along. They were very communicative the entire time they were watching my pup and sent lots of great pictures so I can always know how things were going. Will definitely be using them again!”
“So pleased with how easy everything went. Meet and greet went great, drop off went great, pick up went great. Kimberly kept me updated the entire time with pictures of my girl and what they were up to. Certainly my go-to dog care taker!”
“Amanda, is the best sitter in Buffalo. She is great with my dog. She communicates really well and Selena loves going there for boarding. Thank you so much!!!!”
“ABSOLUTELY love Alena keeping my fur baby. She spoils him tooooo much...lol. He comes home super happy & energetic. I'll only book with someone else if she's not available.”
“We had left Willow with Meghana for about a week and she and her partner were super accommodating to our dog! She constantly gave us updates and pictures on how our dog was doing. Our dog is a rescue so she is a bit timid and shy upon first meet. Meghana made sure Willow was comfortable and relaxed - they respected her space and she opened up to Meghana right away! They also frequently updated us on how Willow was doing, and it seemed like Willow made some new friends. We appreciate her service and her ability to care for our Willow for the week. Will definitely be reaching out again for your services! We really appreciate the care you provided. Thank you!”
“Our usual dog sitter canceled and I was able to secure Michele that same day.. She met us with a warm welcome and a smile that reflected her love for animals. She also was adaptable to our needs and willing to adjust the times. We would definitely ask for her again. As an added bonus, a fenced in yard!”
“At first I was skeptical about using Rover to find someone to care for my German Shepherd that I just adopted and because of moving reasons I needed a place for him to be until my place was ready. I came across Jin, and she was immediately available, and I couldn't be more lucky to have found such an amazing human been, she took care of my Tony so good, with constant pictures and follow ups about his activities. I will only use her services to care for my dog. She us the best. Thank you so much for taking care my big baby tony.??”
“Very responsive and sent multiple pictures of our dog daily.”
“Valerie was amazing. She Made me feel so comfortable with leaving my service pup for first time 🙏🏻💕 her place is more than enough for a large pooch. So grateful! Will definitely return”
“Miranda is such a blessing. She takes care of my dog when I go away, and she always does an incredible job! I always know he’s well taken care of!”
About: I have watched many friends' dogs, cats, and even turtles over the years! I love understanding a pet's unique needs and how to best help them feel comfortable. I am a grad student with flexible hours - I don't need to be on campus that often, so I usually work from home and can stop by to check on or walk your pets. I am a cat mom myself so I understand the love you have for your pets and promise to extend the same care to yours as I would to my own. I only need to be on campus (UB North) for grad school part time, otherwise I work from home! I therefore have a pretty flexible schedule, but please let me know when you request. I have experience walking dogs as small as 8lbs to as big as 80 lbs. I can crate pets who need to be crated. Dogsitting: I will respect your space like I would my own, and am also happy to water any plants while you're away :) Boarding: I live in a spacious second floor apartment. I do not have a yard but I live in a walkable neighborhood and can take your dog out on walks when they need. I do have two balconies that pups love hanging out on to get some fresh air. I do have two cats so I will ask that your dog is cat friendly. I separate them when possible but sometimes the cats get curious.
“We were very happy with Denae and Mark taking care of our dog Daisy. We received pictures and updates every day letting us know how Daisy was doing. Daisy seemed to settle in quickly and was able to relax on the couch and sleep in bed. She was taken on walks. Denae and Mark have a very nice home and really love dogs! Would definitely recommend and we would use them again!”
“We've been using Rover for several years now but Scout's stay with Annalisa was by far the best experience. Right from the first few minutes Annalisa was warm and excited to see Scout and he reciprocated. During the his stay we received pictures and daily updates, which was appreciated and helped us to relax and enjoy our time away. After we picked him up, for the first time ever, he did not whine or whimper on the way home...it was very apparent that he had been made to feel right at home...and that was pretty amazing.”
About: Current student and lifelong animal lover with dogs of my own. Experienced, caring, and dependable. I treat every pup like family and love making tails wag! I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, including energetic puppies and senior dogs who need gentler support. I pride myself on creating a safe, stress-free environment and adapting to each pup’s personality, energy level, and comfort zone. As a student who studies from home, I have a flexible and consistent schedule that allows me to give pets the time and attention they deserve. Whether it's daily walks, playtime, or companionship throughout the day and evening, I'm able to adapt to your pet’s needs and routine. Pet care easily fits into my lifestyle, and spending time with animals is one of the best breaks from studying! I create a calm, pet-friendly environment where animals feel safe and loved. I follow each pet’s routine closely, keep spaces secure, and always prioritize trust and comfort. Whether in my home or yours, I ensure a clean, low-stress setting with lots of attention, play, and care.
“Jillian was so awesome to work with! She was easy to communicate with and was flexible with making plans for our last minute booking. She treated our cat like a king and sent video/picture updates the whole time we were gone! I will only be using Jillian for all my cat’s sitting boarding needs in the future.”
“Bev watched my chihuahua for the first time. She came home happy and playful. I could tell she had a wonderful time. Also Bev’s comment was she sure loves her tummy rubbed which I knew meant if all she wanted was Bev to rub her belly she really liked her and trusted her. I will definitely be using Bev again soon.”

“Triniti is an amazing pet caregiver! She balances raising her own three well-trained dogs while in medical school, with each learning their own tricks! She’s consistent with routines, grooming, medical care, and socializing her pups with people and other dogs. I’ve trusted her to watch my dog multiple times, and every time my pup comes home happier, better behaved, and even learning new tricks. Triniti has even helped ease her separation anxiety. She’s responsible, loving, and incredibly dedicated your pets will be in great hands with her!”
