“Took great care of our dog which was accompanied with cute pictures consistently throughout her stay. Also appreciated how they accommodated to our last minute request and was such a welcoming and sweet couple!”

“Mindy took such great care of our Troops! This was our first long trip away in a very long time and we wish we could have brought him with us but are so happy that he had Mindy to take care of him! She updated all the time on what he was doing and we were all so excited to see all the pictures and videos! She is top-notch,highly recommended, I wouldn’t want to trust anyone else! 🐾🐾🐾”

“I cannot say enough wonderful things about our experience! Charlotte was absolutely phenomenal with Pistol and took such great care of him while we were away. She kept me updated, sent pictures, and made sure I knew he was doing well, which gave me so much peace of mind. She was also incredibly sweet and her children and made them feel comfortable. On top of that, she was understanding and accommodating when I experienced a flight delay, which I truly appreciated. Charlottee has a beautiful family, and it was clear that Pistol was in a loving and caring environment. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, and attentive to their fur babies. We will definitely be using her again in the future. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of our Pistol! ❤️”

“My dog Jordan was well taken care of. I highly recommend Raisa for dog boarding. She let me know how my pup was doing and sent pictures. She was very kind and I am grateful to have found her. Would definitely go through her again. 10/5 stars!”

“My cat Vlad was well taken care of and loved with Julio! I got consistent updates and pictures of how he was doing during his stay, and would recommend Julio to anyone needing a trust worthy sitter for their furry friend! I’m excited to continue using his services in the future!”

“I was nervous with this being Hercules first time at a sitter that wasn’t family. But we had a introduction a few weeks prior and I realized I had nothing to be nervous about!! Hercules had great time at Beverly’s. Beverly and her husband were wonderful, and Hercules loved them both! We received many updates, and pictures throughout his stay. Highly recommend Beverly. We will definitely book again with her.”

“I appreciated that Jessica sent photos of our pup and even tried to dress him up for Halloween. He looked so comfy and happy in the photos. Booking with Jessica is easy and out pup is always well cared for.”

“Katie was an excellent sitter for our dog Louie, while we were on a long vacation! This is the first time using Rover, as well as having someone outside of our family, watching our pet and it was an excellent experience! She sent daily updates and pictures which helped in dealing with the separation anxiety! Recommend highly and will use again!”

“Hi Everyone my name is Tonka! Woof! I'm 9 and a really fun girl. I love to lounge and eat, yeah, yummy eating anything!!! But don't get me wrong I love to play. I was a little shy at first but snapped out of it fast because Dana and Jeremy took really excellent care if me, belly rubs, letting me on their stuff, and setting up a king size doggie bed for me to watch all the happenings outside the window, Woof!. And they have a great huge awesome fenced in yard to keep me safe but allow me to play! And Jeremy plowed me a path but who needs that, I love to barrel and tunnel right though the snow. Even with my short little legs. Bathroom time and play time combined. It was great. Woof! Oh well they did listen very well to my mom's instructions for feeding. Ho hum, grr, well I like to eat, but they kept me to my feedings and treats allowance. I couldn't pull one over on them. Come on a girl needs to try. Woof! Well that's it for now. I won't be afraid next time my mom goes away, I know I'll get to see Dana and Jeremy and have a blast while she's away. So give them a try, you'll love it. Woof! <3 Tonks”

“I’m so happy that I found Melinda! She took great care of Genie. Lots of updates everyday and always very responsive! Definitely would love to have her sitting Genie if there are needs in the future!”


“Morgan is so sweet and communicative! She really treats my little guy so well! She’s watched my dog multiple times for extended periods of time and I would trust her with him again and again! Couldn’t recommend more!”
“Noelle took such good care of my cat - I just needed Noelle to watch her for the day and everything was so smooth. Great communication before and throughout the day, I didn't have to worry about anything. She also sent pics throughout the day so I knew everything was going well.”

“Dan and his family were excellent dog sitters for our pup who stayed with them for 3 nights. She is 7 months old and this was our first time leaving her with anyone so I was very nervous. We did a meet and greet and Dan and his family made us feel comfortable right away. During her stay, he was very responsive to texts and gave multiple updates about what they did and even sent pics! They have a nice background where our girl was able to run around and play and their house is very spacious and clean. They took her on multiple long walks during her stay and when we picked her up on Sunday and brought her home I could not believe how exhausted she was! She’s a puppy with lots of energy so to see her passed out means she must’ve had a great time getting lots of attention and exercise! I definitely would not hesitate to have Dan dog sit again for us and I’m grateful to know I now have someone that she & I both trust & feel comfortable with. Thanks again to Dan & his wonderful family!”


About: I’m an outdoorsy girl with a big heart for dogs and a love of adventure. Seeing them happy genuinely matters to me, and I’ll go the extra mile for a wagging tail—whether that’s a walk full of interesting sniffs, extra playtime, or quiet company. With so much nature around me, there’s plenty to explore. Sunny days or snowy ones, I’m happy to head outside when it’s safe, always keeping your dog’s comfort, routine, and energy level in mind. I treat animals like my own children. Your dog’s little quirks, favourite games, and need for reassurance matter to me, because I want them to feel loved and secure while you’re away. Spending time outdoors is already a part of my life, so walks, fresh air, and adventures fit naturally into my routine. When caring for a pet, I plan around their feeding times, bathroom breaks, exercise, and need for company. I make room for both the practical care and the little extras—playtime, cuddles, and time to settle in and feel comfortable. I care for pets like they’re my own children... with love, patience, and attention to the little things that help them feel safe. Before caring for them, I take time to learn their routines, preferences, and any special needs, so I can follow your instructions and keep things familiar. In your home, I respect your space and keep your pet’s usual routine, from meals and walks to litter care and favourite resting spots. In my home, I focus on helping them settle in comfortably, with introductions and time to explore at their own pace. Walks, playtime, and outdoor adventures are always suited to your pet and the weather, with plenty of rest and affection along the way. I’m also happy to share photos and updates so you can see how your loved one is doing.
“We were traveling out of the state and needed someone to take care of our 2 dogs while away. I’ll just say Liz is truly amazing. She took very good care of them. Playing and lots of cuddles. She sent daily updates with pictures and was so attentive to them. Always mentioned how they were doing and eating. I will definitely keep her as my repeat for any future vacations. Thank you again Liz!!”

“Emmy was awesome and super caring with Brownie. She immediarely welcomed him and made him feel at home. Her home has a really nice backyard with plenty of space for dogs. I know Brownie had a great time with Emmy and her family!”

“I loved the way they treated my dog... excellent communication, lots of photos, and status updates... it made me feel like my dog was safe... I absolutely loved it and will definitely hire their services again.”

Kiara and Yves are such a lovely couple! We really appreciate them accommodating our super early drop-off for Max before our flight out of Buffalo. They kept us updated throughout his stay, which gave us peace of mind. Max seemed to have had a great time and really enjoyed his stay with them! We’re so grateful and will definitely book with them again whenever we travel.

I don’t have enough words to explain how amazing Jessica is! She is truly incredible. I felt so calm and relaxed during my trip because she always kept me updated and made me feel like I was still there with my babies. 🥹💗 She took them on lots of walks, made sure they were comfortable, and gave them so much love and attention. Her dog is also absolutely amazing—so friendly and sweet, and helped my girls feel even more comfortable and at home. 🐶💕 I’m so glad I chose Jessica to take care of them. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and amazing with dogs! 🩷

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 :)
