About: I've always been surrounded by animals. I have experience with puppies, kitties, senior dogs, reactive dogs, and large breed dogs. I would love to care for your fur babies! I am available to love on your babies full time! Whatever their routine is, we will be able to stick to it. I am happy to stay overnight with your babies, or get to them as early as needed. I will make sure all their needs are met. Food and water will always be handled as instructed, play time and pets go without saying, and a potty break will never be missed! I have been in a situation where my sitter did not let my dogs out in a timely manner, and I would not put someone through that stress. Your babies don't deserve that!
“Allison just walked our active dog still puppy stage for the first time. She handled her really well. Allison also came by yesterday to meet Mabel and was energetic, friendly, professional, and kind. I highly recommend her and look forward to using her again.”

“Jessica went above and beyond to make sure the cats were checked in on while I was gone and even when my street was unable to be driven down, parked at the end and walked down. Wonderful human and would book again!”

About: Hi! I’m Emma, and I absolutely love animals! 🐾 I’m a proud pet mom to a husky mix, a cat, and a bearded dragon, and I truly believe pets are part of the family. I’ve cared for all kinds of animals, including dogs, cats, guinea pigs, fish, reptiles, and hamsters. I also worked at a doggy daycare in college and have experience with dog walks and drop-in visits. I love taking long walks, teaching dogs new tricks, and, of course, giving lots of cuddles! Whether your pet needs a long walk, some playtime, a little extra attention, or simply someone to keep them company while you’re away, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’ll treat your pets like I treat my own—with lots of patience, attention, and love! ❤️ My schedule is very flexible, especially during the summer! I’m freely available for most of August, so I have plenty of time to give your pets the attention and care they deserve. Once the school year begins, I’m available for pet care before work on weekdays until 7 AM and after work starting around 4 PM. I’m also available throughout weekends, school holidays, and breaks. I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and do my best to accommodate your schedule! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities! I’ll take the time to learn your pet’s routine, personality, and specific needs and will follow your care instructions carefully. I’m attentive to details and will always make sure doors, gates, leashes, and other safety measures are secure. I’m comfortable caring for pets with different personalities and energy levels, and I’ll never force interaction if your pet needs space or time to warm up. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos so you know how your pet is doing while you’re away. I’ll treat your home and your pets with the same care and respect I would want from someone caring for my own animals. ❤️🐾

About: I’ve always been the person my family and friends went to and trusted to watch after their furry ones while they were away. I’ve grown up with both cats and dogs my entire life, and caring for animals has always been a huge part of who I am. I currently have five pets of my own: three cats and two dogs, and they truly mean everything to me. Because of them, I understand just how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your pets like family. During my junior and senior years of high school, I attended Harkness BOCES for Animal Science, where I gained hands-on experience in grooming, safe handling and restraint, CPR, medication administration, and understanding animal behavior, along with many other essential skills. I’m currently continuing my education in animal health and behavior to build a career dedicated to caring for animals and being their voice. I’m comfortable administering medications as needed and have experience working with pets of all ages, sizes, and breeds. Whether your pet needs extra patience, playtime, or specialized care, I’m here to provide a safe, loving, and attentive environment. I am currently a full-time college student, so my schedule is flexible and allows me to dedicate plenty of time to pet care. Animal care is something I genuinely enjoy, and I make it a priority to work around each pet's individual needs and routine. I am happy to coordinate schedules with pet owners to ensure their pets receive reliable care, attention, exercise, and plenty of love while they are away! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I take the responsibility of caring for someone’s pet and home very seriously, and I will always follow the owner’s instructions, routines, and any specific safety precautions they have in place. Whether that means crating a pet at night, keeping them securely leashed during walks, supervising outdoor playtime, following feeding instructions, or administering medications as directed, I make sure their needs are met. I also respect each client’s home and do my best to maintain a safe, clean, and comfortable environment for their pets. I want every owner to feel confident and at ease knowing their pets are receiving the same love, patience, and attention I would give my own!

About: I’ve taken care of my childhood dog for 15 years up until the end. So I’ve worked with puppy stages and loving runs until enjoying a slow stroll. I am a very active person usually getting 15-20k steps a day. With summer approaching I’d like to enjoy more time walking outside. Since I’m unable to get a dog in college I’d love to help others get there dogs more chances to get outside I believe a dog should follow its routine and it’s already known behavior. If the dog is usually crated while family is away or in a specific room which ever works best for the dog and family.
“We have gotten Lauren’s service in long and short term. She is reliable and caring to our oreo cookie. Our dog loves her. I can tell she has been very nice to our dog. I recommend her.”

About: I am currently a part-time dog daycare attendant. I am a cat mom to two sweet, kind, loving boys, Sam and Dan. As well as a pet sitter for friends and family. Pet care is a part of my daily life. Both work and home have a routine, love, care for, play and help the pets live their best lives. Caring for pets is totally what the clients wish. People care for their fur babies in different ways. My job is to keep their pets safe and happy in the client's absence.
About: I have been caring for and about pets since as long as I can remember. I have almost 10 years of professional pet sitting and doggie daycare experience under my belt as well almost 10 years of teaching groups classes as well as private lessons for dog training. Prior to my professional, career orientated, experience I have been watching pets for friends and family since i was 17. I was actively involved in the animal rescue world for 10 years starting when I was 18. Your pet will be treated as one of my own and will integrate into my household with my family right alongside my pets. I will adhere to your household rules. If your pets are allowed on furniture, not a problem my couch is basically an oversized bed for my own pets. If you prefer your pets not be on furniture I will discourage that with them to not send them home with any bad habits. I have had many repeat clients over the years and have loved them all as I do my own pets. I have recently resigned from my employment that took me away from the home for longer hours so that I may focus on pet sitting at a full time level. I am home full time now to allow caring for your baby to be my main priority. My repeat clients have become an extention of my own family. I love and care for all the pets as if they are my own. I can often times accomodate last minute requests for REPEAT clients as a meet and greet will no longer be needed. Meet and greet is a mandatory requirement for any new clients. I do request that drop off and pick up be completed no later than 8 pm, 7 pm being preferred latest time. Daycare is only offered from the hours of 7am to 6 pm. Any booking requests past 6 pm should and will be considered boarding. The latest accepted drop off or pick up times is 7 pm. Thank you for your understanding. My yard is fully fenced to allow for lots of outdoor playtime (weather permitting) as well as frequent potty breaks. While your furbaby is with me they will be able to play with my 2 friendly and respectful dogs. During the warm weather months your pup can enjoy the kiddie pool or learn some new tricks with agility equipment. Pets are never left unsupervised while outside and will be crated for their safety when necessary. I remove collars to avoid any risks either in a crate or during play. I REQUIRE all dogs be current and on flea and tick prevention as well as up to date on rabies and dhpp vaccines with proof provided. I HIGHLY encourage the bordetella and leptospirosis vaccines but they are not a requirement. Your dog's safety and happiness is my number 1 priority.
About: ✨ 8+ years experience | Medical care | Reliable & dog-savvy ✨ 🌞 6/1/2026: Please keep in mind that this is a busy time of year! Blocked spots on calendar indicate booked gigs outside of Rover. If you see any availability, please don’t hesitate to reach out! 🌞 Hi there! My name is Izzy! I have been working with dogs for a little over 8 years now, both in formal and personal settings. From managing a doggy daycare/salon to my own personal care sessions (which have been requested in state and international), I value all opportunities because it allows me to learn, grow and become more confident when caring for animals. I have worked with and taught commands to dogs ranging from puppies to seniors. I have also worked with animals who had behavioral issues, medical conditions such as seizures, liver problems and diabetes. I have administered medications and proper substances when needed. I believe that maintaining a routine is essential when watching animals because their world is a little different when they aren’t with their primary care taker. With this being said, if an animal has heath condition and/or specific needs, I would appreciate that they are disclosed before sessions. It is important that each animal is treated with care and is given lots of love. It is also necessary that the family feels comfortable with individual who cares for their pet and that they can trust them. I haven’t touched on all my experiences so if there are any questions or concerns, please feel free to share! Looking forward to connecting with you and your pets! Side note: I’m also comfortable caring for lizards and small pets, and can offer light home cleaning services during longer stays if requested. Additional fees may be required. I build my schedule around my pet care clients, so availability for drop-ins, walks, and sitting can be very flexible — including mornings, evenings, and weekends. If you’re unsure about timing, just message me! I’m happy to coordinate! I believe that monitoring activities like playing with toys and distributing treats should be supervised at all times. Having a routine is important so sticking to that routine essential when it comes to caring for a pet. I do not have a yard but dogs would be taken on walks everyday (rain or shine) if they were to stay with me.
About: While moving around and apartment living has not allowed me to have pets currently, I have years of experience with animals in general, specifically dogs. I live in WNY now but grew up in rural PA on a mini farm with lots of animals doggies included. We mainly owned Belgian Sheepdogs and I trained/showed in the 4H program through my teens. Life changes took me away from continuing in that lifestyle and unfortunately from owning pets at all. However, I've been jonesing for some dog time and also an extra side hustle is always helpful! I've dealt with dogs with from all ages and anything I'm not familiar with I'm always open to learn and implement what works best for your situation. I would love to meet you and help out with your fur babies as needed! 😊 I am trying to get into pet sitting as a side hustle but I have a flexible schedule right now so I'm pretty open! I don't have a home that accommodates keeping pets in but can travel to you! I can only do in client home care but will care for your pet(s) to your preferences! I am not offering overnight stays at this current time but can do drop ins or stay for a duration of time.
About: All 3 of my animals I've owned throughout my life have lived full, happy lives. They also, however, required close supervision. Both cats were outdoor cats which required consistent grooming, tick repellant, and even medicine administration for when they ate something they shouldn't have, or developed infections (administering pills to a cat is a skill I'm proud to put on my resume.) My dog Connor developed an autoimmune disease, and required prednisone administration daily. He was also a very reactive dog to other dogs, so those behaviors I am very well-versed in handling. The same can be said for my partner's family's two dogs (black lab mix and white Dogo Argentino), and my sister's pug mix. Dogs are reactive for a reason and I do not judge them for it, I'm happy to accommodate their predispositions. I work completely remote (and to be truthful it's a pretty chill job day to day) so I'd consider myself the best option as someone who has a full time job outside of Rover! Plus, I love the company of pet sitting during the week. I'm of the belief that cats and dogs belong on the couch and the bed, so in my home they are allowed wherever they please. That being said, if you have more strict rules for your animals either inside my home or yours, I completely understand and have no problem carrying out your wishes (obviously.) My care style is attentive. I know that's another obvious answer, but I've always loved interacting with animals, playing with them, etc. It makes me happy.
About: I have had dogs my whole life. I currently watch my family's pets when they go on vacation. I've watched everything for little dogs to xl dogs and fish, lizards, hamsters etc. I currently work full-time and work from home part time I am willing to do weekdays and weekends and nights, pretty flexible for most schedules I have a fenced in yard. I do not have current animals in my house and I have my sister living with me along with my six year old nephew.
About: I have a sweet cat named Pepper and an energetic orange cat named Turmeric that lives with me and I grew up with a small terrier. I have always taken care of my neighbors pets growing up while they were away and I do the same for my neighbors today here in Buffalo! They have even connected me with their own friends as well. It has become something I love doing-helping out and getting lots of licks and cuddles as well! I have experience caring for older pets who need special accommodations as well as administering medications or giving any such as insulin shots and SSRI’s I am available for any walks, chow time or playtime on weekends anytime and after 4:30pm on weeks days but I can be very flexible and help out in mornings before my day job as well! Unfortunately, I have a furry friend at home that may not be open to sharing a space but I am happy to help out any furry friend in your home! I always make sure my pets are in good care and have everything they need to be happy 😊

Madeline is so wonderful to work with. She tries her very best to work with you and make sure your animals get the care that need. Right from the start I felt comfortable trusting her to come into my home and care for my pup. During her visit she was in contact with me and sent pictures. I’m so happy with found Madeline. So is my pup!

Zachary is totally awesome! Zach took the most amazing care of my baby girl Remy . Everyday sent me pictures and updates about Remy without even having to ask. Remy was extremely happy with Zach and that’s a humongous plus for me . I will definitely be booking again with Zach without a doubt. I totally recommend anyone looking for someone who is very prompt and really does care about our fur babies you should book with Zach.

Kara was great with my beagle! We set up a meet and greet that went well! She helped us out when our other pet sitter had a conflict. There was a small miscommunication about the 1st arrival time but was quickly corrected. She did 2 drop in visits on a Saturday and spent an hour each time. Wore my baby out on the short walks and my pup slept great. Kara is very responsive and loving. Would definitely use her again!

My babies are typically not too comfortable with people they do not know. Tatyjana Communicated with me that the dogs went under the bed but did not give up. She said she was trying to get them to warm up to her and they did. We will definitely have her back again.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Cheektowaga choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
