Dasher was happy to have a friend when I was out of town. Elizabeth is very reliable and I never hesitate to leave my cat if she’s going to be coming by.

Ciara goes above and beyond when taking care of my boys. From her detailed check ins assuring me all is okay to her genuine care and enthusiasm for animals, she is by far the best sitter I have had (and I’ve had many!). I can enjoy going away because I know the boys are in good hands and my place is taken care of. She is also just lovely and has a great attitude. Cannot recommend her enough!!!

This was my first time using Rover, and I chose Sarah specifically because she has so many repeat customers, and it's easy to see why! My cat normally hides from strangers, but walked right up to Sarah at our meet-and-greet. The biggest thing for me was, there was a huge snowstorm coming while we were gone, and Sarah made sure to come over extra early on the day the storm was due to hit, to make sure our kitty had more than enough food and water to last her a bit longer if needed. And it WAS needed, the storm was so bad there was a travel ban put in place for days, but because of Sarah's pre-planning our kitty did just fine until we could get home to her two days later. Sarah, I can't thank you enough!

Emma was fabulous in taking care of my boys! She was even able to get my stubborn kitty to take more of his meds than I could, no small feat. She was great about providing updates and following complex care instructions.

About: I have been able to take care of animals (dogs and cats) since age 5 as I had pets throughout my whole life. I have also briefly owned horses building the skillset of hygiene care for larger animals. I absolutely love dogs. I have had experience with small dogs all the way up to English Mastiff and Ridgeback sizes. I have been a helpful pet sitter for many family members and some friends. I absolutely love animals and plan to incorporate them into my therapeutic process with clients in the future. Please send them my way and I will give them all the love and empathy while you're away and as needed! I am a graduate student with an internship which entails the need for a daily routine. I am more flexible for weekends and holidays, and I am also willing to make other days work given enough time notice in advance. I love to be outside year-round, especially fall and winter, so I will be active with animals in snow/cold or sunshine which means walks and playing! I have three cats who have everything they need including love and grooming! I have a three-legged cat who requires more care for hygiene and grooming, so he gets lion cuts every so often. All of my cats get treats and are spoiled with love. I am flexible and willing to work around whatever is needed for safety and the environment. I would prefer to do house visits and drop-ins to feed/let outside, etc. I would need to be provided equipment like leashes, crates, food bowls, food, etc. I do not want to disrupt your pet's routine or familiarity of their own materials.

Ariana was very responsive and came out to meet and greet with Dasher and I before the scheduled sit which I really appreciated since it was our first time, and last minute on my end. Dasher took to her right away and her reports were always detailed and with lots of pictures. Dasher was a happy camper when I got back. I wouldn’t hesitate to schedule with her again.

Jenna is literally the best sitter we've ever had <3. She took care of our cat Scrunchie for a week and we'll definitely rebook her in the future. She was super thorough, sent detailed updates during every visit, and took a ton of pics and really cute videos that we loved. Our cat is very picky about humans and she absolutely LOVED Jenna! Can't say enough great things about her -- Jenna is the best!!

About: I have grown up with animals always in my life. Currently, my family has two dogs and three cats! Needless to say, I am a pet loving individual! From raising and training a puppy, to caring for a reactive senior, I am always on board and excited to spend time with animals. I am a college student! I am a student, which gives me lots of free time to get to know and play with your pet! Safety, trust and environment are all very important to me when it comes to animals! I have a large fenced in yard and lots of toys. When I am caring for the pets in any home, both my own and others, I focus on what the pets are most comfortable with so I can prioritize their well-being! In a client’s home, my focus is both on the well-being of the pet and on any information the client provides me with!

About: Hi there! I'm a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for both dogs and cats for friends, family, and neighbors. I currently have a 3-year-old rescue cat named Nugget, who came from a difficult situation. Watching her grow into a happy, playful, and trusting cat has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. I understand that pets are family, and I will care for yours with the same love, patience, and attention that I give my own. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having a calm and caring companion, I'm happy to tailor my care to their needs. I'm currently training for my third half marathon, so I especially enjoy staying active and would love to take energetic dogs on walks, runs, and adventures. I also love photography and will happily send plenty of photos and updates so you can feel connected and confident while you're away. Communication is very important to me, and I'll keep you updated on how your pet is doing throughout my time with them. I'm also reliable, organized, and happy to help with small household tasks when needed. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! As a local Buffalo resident who works a hybrid schedule, I have the flexibility to provide dependable care throughout the week. My work-from-home days allow me to be available for visits, check-ins, and quality time with your pets. I'm also very active and enjoy incorporating walks, playtime, and enrichment activities into my daily routine. Whether your cat needs a quick check-in, some extra attention while you're away, or a consistent routine, I'm happy to provide reliable and attentive care. I care for my own cat with lots of love, patience, and attention, and I would bring that same level of care to your pets. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I will do my best to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you're away. If I'm house sitting, I will help keep your home tidy by cleaning up after your pet and maintaining their space. My goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible for both you and your furry family member. Whether your pet enjoys playtime, cuddles, or simply having someone nearby, I will make sure they receive the same love and attention that you would give them yourself.

Celeste was communicative, reliable, and flexible when my plane was delayed and I got home later than expected. Two of my dogs are seniors and they can be a little extra work, which Celeste was very kind about. She sent pictures and even mopped the kitchen floor which I was not expecting. Most importantly, my dogs were happy and safe when I camd home. Thank you Celeste!
