“Michelle was amazing! She was available on short notice to watch my dogs and cats in my house. Her level of care is outstanding. I had no worries while I was gone because she was there to take care of all my fur babies. I would definitely rebook her”
“Jack and Emily took very good care of Riley. They spoiled her and made her comfortable as it took her a day or two to adjust to her new surroundings. Jack was good about sending pictures and updates. He even sent her home with a special treat. Thank you for watching her for us!”

About: Hi! My name is Alicia, I'm 29 years old and from Rochester. I mostly model for a living, but I miss having something to do during the weekdays, hence the new second job. I have always been an animal lover. I've had dogs all my life, and I'm very experienced with animals. I have not only helped trained my dog when she was a puppy, I also have been dog walking and house sitting in a professional setting for a couple years now. I have experience with small dogs, medium and large. My dog is my world and I don't think I could be anymore of an animal lover. I would love to become your dogs next best friend :) I am always up to the task of caring for animals, no matter how high energy they are. I love connecting with new animals and learning their routines. I am always on high alert with everyone, especially if I am the main care taker of an animal, so I always have their best interest in mind
“Melissa and her husband made time to accommodate my dogs needs and kept our plants alive.”
About: A little bit about me, I am going on to my second year at MCC and after plan on joining the Air Force! I currently have a part time job at restaurant but have gotten the unfortunate news that they will be shutting down my store so I am looking to make this my full time job until the near future. I have been taking care of animals since my early teenage years starting off with a close family friend and her 2 poodle mix’s. They would be dropped off at my house around 9:00 am and then get pick up at 6:00pm. I have bathed, cleaned, and even trained some dogs (simple commands). In addition, I have also taken care of multiple furry felines and have had many cats of my own so I am also quite familiar with their needs as well. I am wanting to soon be Pet CPR and First Aid Certified. I have always been interested in pet-care I just didn’t know how to go about it until I found out about rover! I will be putting all my focus on pet-care as my full time job. Since I am just starting out I will only have weekday availability 11-9 and will only offer drop in’s and walk services at this time. I have been around pets for a long time and feel I am able to pick up on signs if anything might be wrong with your furry friend.
“Ray did an excellent job watching both of our cats. He followed instructions perfectly and was prompt, professional, and respectful. Thanks, Ray!”
About: I enjoy being around dogs, as i have one of my own now, i had dogs growing up and they have always been a friend i needed. I’m always the person at the gathering that spends more time with the dog rather than people lol. I have wanted to become a veterinarian since a kid, although i grew out of that, i know my purpose is to work with the voiceless, animals. (although they have their own voice lol). I’m currently doing this for experience due to being in school full time/work. I plan on advancing my knowledge in animal behavior. I am currently working full time Friday-Sunday. I am free Monday/Thursday. Thursday is not open as a service because i am only available until 12pm. I am very aware of surroundings during dog walks and aware that dogs will be dogs. I’ve studied multiple breeds and i am one to know that some breeds react differently than others, such as my own dog. I think dogs are misunderstanding and people don’t realize they do not think like humans. It is not easy to trust someone with your furry loved one, trust your intuition. I treat others peoples pet like i would want mine to be treated, with respect, patience and love.
“Ilysia was fabulous watching our giant dog overnight. She sent photos and was very communicative. We are gladly going to boom with her again!”
About: College student who loves dogs. I already pet sit now for family members. Their pets love me and I love them. I’m very friendly, open minded, and I love to have a good time. I have a very positive attitude and I’m free most of the day to do whatever service is needed. My prices may be cheaper than others but that’s because I’m just excited to meet new pets and take care of them. I would treat your pets as if were mine. Giving them all the love and attention that they need to grow. I’m excited to meet new owners and new dogs/pets as well. I’m the right person for this job. Affordable but also efficient is the way I go. Thank you.
“She is amazing! I left her with my almost 3 year old 80lb Black Lab/ German Shepard mix for 10 days! Right away when we met her and my boy Shadow( who is still intact) you can tell she is great with dogs. She stayed in my home was very respectful of my home and things. She sent alot of pictures. Just amazing . I will be using her again!!”
“Brianna did a great job looking after Diesel. He looks happy in the photos she sent us. She does sometimes do more than 1 booking at a time but is upfront and honest about her schedule.”
“I searched for quite a while to find a pet sitter that my fur babies would be comfortable with. Also someone who would put my mind at ease while I’m away from them and from home. Someone patient, trusting, responsible, kind and has all around good vibes. When my fearful dog (who does not like anyone except her family circle, especially did not like the last pet sitter) was not afraid of Sydney, I knew my babies were in good hands. Sydney took care of my 3 dogs (age 7, 4, and 7 month old puppy) & 2 cats ( age 11 & 12) as if they were her own. By day 2 of house sitting, they were relaxed and cuddling up with Sydney and in their usual routine. From the start of the day, Sydney made sure to communicate with me throughout the day and send pics. I highly recommend her!”

About: My name is jaiden, I’ve owned and trained dogs since I was 11 years old, mainly large breed dogs including pit bulls, German shepherds , and labs. I’ve been recommended to friends and family for my remarkable success with training even the most difficult dogs. My motto is patience , kindness , and consistency when it comes to working with animals and I believe that our fur babies deserve as much care and love as anyone else. I also would love to become a veterinarian after college and I am currently saving up for that. I have open availability throughout the next couple months. I do accept same day requests and I will be available Monday - Sunday at any times. Each pet has their own personality, it’s important to get to know them before going ahead with standard routines. I take my two dogs on 30 minute walks 4 times a day as well as off leash yard running time and they are fed meals 3 times a day. They have a play time in the backyard as well as rest time and this is not even half of their routines :) both my dogs enjoy different meal preparations and I make sure to make any necessary changes to their foods to keep them happy and healthy and will do the same with my clients pets
“Our dog seemed content when we returned but not overly anxious about us being back. Our dog sitter kept Diesel happy and content while we were gone. House was in good shape. Overall pleased with her assistance. Would recommend her to others.”
About: I’ve owned cats and dogs for about 20 years, growing up we always had Akitas as the family dog and had 3 cats at one point (one of which needed seizure medication consistently so I do have experience there). I work remotely making calls most of the day and our family dogs passed a few months ago so I’d love to be around animals again just not ready for my own right now I currently work remotely making calls most of the day Monday-Friday and can step out to make sure your pets get all the care they need, weekends I’m also available as needed. I live in a small apartment along the canal so I’m happy to take them on plenty of walks along the canal if boarding is needed

Curtis B.
“Curtis, is truly a caring person for people and animals. When he sees a pet on campus or anywhere he likes to go up and pet the animal and get to know its name. He enjoys learning what type of breed the dog is and playing with the dog to keep him active. The one time at school there was a dog outside his dorm room so went to go pet and play with the dog because he wanted to learn more about the process the dog was going through to become a service dog. Curtis would be a excellent caregiver because i would fully trust him when he would take care of my dog when i was gone on vacation. Curtis is very responsible and his personality would make him an excellent dog caregiver.”
