About: I have over 10 years of experience taking care of babies/toddlers, cats and dogs. I currently have my own dog but have lived in a multiple animal household (2 dogs, 2 cats and a kitten) as well as taken care of 2 toddlers that lived with 3 labs. Family, friends, or by word of mouth, I have been relied on to take care of their fur babies. I will care for your pets as if they are my own. I work full time throughout the week but I am remote so I am home for most of the day. I will be available to let out as many times as needed as well as stay as close to their normal routines as possible. I enjoy going for walks throughout the day to get away from the computer so they will enjoy some walks (weather permitting). I prefer to keep your pets in their own home where they are most comfortable and familiar. They will have company throughout the entire day unless I have something planned in the evening. If I do have something planned, I will run it by you to ensure that I know their routine for when they are left alone. For any drop ins or walks, with me working from home it is not hard for me to transport myself for the day or to take breaks. If a pet needs to come to my home, it is an upstairs apartment located by a park which is great for walking and a very calm neighborhood. With whatever service you decide, I will send you daily pictures/videos so you are able to truly enjoy your vacation knowing that your fur baby is being taken care of.
“Emma was amazing! She took care of our Great Dane, Max. In constant communication with us to let us know how Max was doing. Would definitely recommend this sweet girl to anyone who has a dog that needs looking after.”
About: I grew up taking full responsibility for my two dogs, handling their daily feeding, walks, playtime, and overall care. Dogs have always been a big part of my life, and I truly enjoy spending time with them. Friends often trust me to look after their dogs when they need help, and I treat every dog as if it were my own with patience, attention, and lots of care Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I’m available all day during the week as well as on weekends, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, regular walks, playtime, and consistent care throughout the day I care for pets with a calm, attentive, and safety-first approach, whether in my home or a client’s home. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, playtime, and rest. I live close to a park, which allows for regular outdoor walks and exercise. I’m very careful during walks and always stay alert to my surroundings to ensure pets are safe and comfortable at all times
About: I have had a variety of fishes and turtles that have survive for very long time 10+ and have had the best care possible. I have had dogs when I was a kid and have friends and family who have dogs and other lovable 4 legged animals I am home from college for the summer and am looking to make some extra cash. As well as gaining experience for getting my own pet soon I will play with the dog/cat and give it all the attention it will need as I am a huge animal lover and want one of my own very soon

“I was very nervous at first leaving our Lucy with anyone again since she had a bad experience with another boarding place but with meeting Alexis, she made me feel immediately comfortable. Throughout the boarding process she was very communicative and even sent pictures and videos of Lucy having a good time with her kids and family. If I ever need another sitter I absolutely will be using her again!”


“This was our first time using Rover to find a non-family member to watch our dog while on an extended vacation. We have a young Australian Shepherd Mix who wants to be around (read: herd) his people so I was hoping to find someone who could take him into their home, rather than boarding him in a facility. Based on her profile, I felt that he would be in good hands with Ciara. From the initial contact to our meet-and-greet, Ciara put me at ease and was very open about her past experiences and comfort level with watching a high-energy dog like ours. Once on our trip, we received daily updates (with pics!) and it seemed to be going well for all involved. He was excited to see me when I picked him up, and when I mentioned their names later, he seemed just as excited as he was earlier, so I could absolutely see us booking Ciara again to watch our boy!”

About: Hi there! I'm Caitlin, and for the past 13 years, I have gained extensive education, training, and experience with all types of animals. I have been with Rover since 2014 and have had over 190 clients through the years. As a proud professional, the experience under my belt includes: - Solo management of a small, rural cat shelter - Behavioral and adoption staff at a large urban animal shelter - Dog and cat training - Fear free certification - Management staff for boarding and daycare - Professional bathing/grooming - Exotic animal handling - Bachelor's degree in Animal Behavior Besides my professional experience, I have been a pet owner my whole life - dogs, cats, and exotics included! Right now - I have four beloved cats. ** Currently, my preferred clients are cats, small dogs, seniors, and more relaxed pets. I am not suited to care for strong, energetic dogs who need extensive exercise. ** In-home boarding and dog daycare are services I vet very extensively and am particular about due to my cats. While I do offer the services, it is always better to choose a house sit/drop in visit with me instead - these I can be much more flexible about. Some other services I provide beyond the basics include: - Wedding pet care and assistance - Pet transportation - Travel pet care and assistance - and more! I am a FULL TIME pet sitter! While some others may need to step out for a full work day, I commit my time to YOUR pet(s) and YOUR pet(s) only - which sets me apart from other sitters. You may see that my husband, Josh, is also on my profile. He will occasionally help me with some services, but I am the primary sitter. I will always let clients know if he is going to be present for any services. Safety for pets and myself is and always has been my top priority. I am proudly fear free certified and have worked on extensive safety training measures in all of my professional working environments. I know how to use all types of equipment (leashes, collars, harnesses, e-collars, etc) with ease.
“Jennifer is amazing! My rescue German shepherd mix is always very anxious away from home, and cannot do a crate. Jennifer made every accommodation for her and they had a calm overnight! I will be boarding with Jennifer exclusively from now on! ❤️❤️❤️”

About: I have past experience working for Wag where I walked a number of different dogs over the course of about a year and a half. I also have experience with raising, training, and caring for my own pups as well as my two cats! I work as a freelancer currently, so I will have plenty of time to stop in and care for your pet any day of the week you need me! I can accommodate any and all needs that your pets have while you are away from home! In my experience with Wag as a dog walker, I entered and re-secured many homes while owners were away.
“Lynn was FANTASTIC with Sawyer! Her home is definitely dog friendly and loving. Big backyard with a doggie door and always someone there to keep my furbaby company. She was awesome and understanding with my short notice request and sent pictures showing how happy Sawyer was. I will definitely use her again! (if she is available) I think I found myself a new dogsitter and I’m sure Sawyer is very happy with that too!! A+++”

“Catia was incredibly attentive to my dog while she was boarded. My dog was incredibly well taken care of and had exciting enrichment opportunities (playing with others, trips to the park, time in the backyard, and quality snuggle time indoors). Catia offered a safe and fun home for my dog to board while I was away and sent many updates while I was away. I would absolutely book with Catia again!”

“I cannot thank Rakym enough for taking such good care of our dogs (especially at last minute too). Rakym was really responsive and helped calm my anxiety about leaving them after I had bad experience with a previous sitter. Both pups came back happy and tired which is always a plus after a long trip. I highly recommend!”

About: I’ve always taken care of pets when I was younger, I’ve walked and watched my family,friends and even my neighbors pets! I have always been good with animals. Your dogs will enjoy their daily walks with me I’ll take care of your pets and home like it was my own. When your puppy stays with me they will feel love, safe, and care while you are away.

“Richard was very accommodating. Last minute booking and my dog who is a lil bit reactive and anxious became super comfortable with him after a few hours and played with his other dogs. She enjoyed her stay and big thanks to Richard for accepting our dog. Will definitely rebook with him again.”

“Charlene and her husband along with their dog, Dora, provided Ella with a wonderful experience from the moment she met them until we picked her up. Charlene sent us numerous photos of Ella enjoying herself both inside and outside their home. We were very comforted and reassured by the eases with which Ella adjusted to her first experience with being cared for by anyone other than us since we adopted her 3 1/2 years ago. We will request that they look after Ella whenever we return to the Niagara area.”

“Sydney is the best!! It was the first time she watched two of our dogs and they had the best time, she sent us lots of pictures and both of our dogs were so happy to be with her and her dog Jessie ☺️”

“Collin was wonderful to have looking after my precious Luna. We met before my vacation to put my anxiety to rest. He had my kitty for 9 days and treated her very well. The communication and care he offered was appreciated. I received regular photos and videos during my trip. He even bought her some new toys. I forgot her scratch post when I picked her up and he dropped it off for me subsequently. Thank you so much Collin!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Buffalo
It's been a long time since we had to board Milo, a rescue, and this was the first time since we lost his brother, who Milo was strongly attached to. This didn't help his separation anxiety and other issues, baggage from an abusive puppyhood. But none of this phased Jackie. She took Milo in stride and provided a welcoming temporary home for him. Her place is spacious, offering room to roam and corners for curling up. Confident that we've found somewhere Milo is well cared for and secure, we will plan our future weekends away and vacations around Jackie's availability.

Amanda was wonderful with Loupy! I was a bit anxious as this was my first Rover experience, Loupy can be a bit of a nervous nellie, AND I was going to be completely out of service for four days, but Amanda was so easygoing and sweet with her that I immediately felt at ease. Loupy had a great time! I will absolutely be reaching out to Amanda again the next time I'm out of town.

Jaddua was amazing. He was kind and made me feel at ease when dropping Mando off. He showed me where mando would be staying and going out. You can tell Jaddua genuinely loves animals and Mando was loving all the attention Jaddua gave him. Couldn’t have asked for better people to take care of Mando while I was gone. I missed Mando so much, thankfully Jaddua provided the most adorable photo updates. If I’m in Buffalo again definitely request Jaddua again. Thank you! Love - Mando and Jasmine :)

Joyce and Patrick went above and beyond to care for our orange cat Harvey . They are truly amazing in the way they cared for him . They not only took care of his every need they gave him love and affection . Communication with us was awesome ! We loved the pictures and videos they sent us . We are so thankful for the kind people they are .
