“Elisabeth was a great sitter. We booked her for our two cats and also for some indoor and outdoor plant watering. She was timely, responsive, and took care of pets and home. We had a fluorescent light randomly break (or maybe not randomly considering cats lol) in the basement and she let us know immediately and also took the extra step to clean it up. Would recommend!”


“Christina is top notch! She is so kind and caring my cat instantly took to her. She took amazing care of her and even brought in my mail and watered my plants. I had zero worries while I was out of town. 10/10 would recommend!!!”

About: I grew up with animals: goldfish, rabbits, birds, and dogs. I currently have a rambunctious Shiba Inu that loves to keep me on my toes! I have also taken care of my friend's dogs from walking to dog/house sitting, volunteered at local animal shelters throughout my life. I am a resident physician at the Jacobs School of Medicine, and I would love to get to know you and your pet! I am a full-time resident physician. Currently, my schedule changes every 2 weeks but in general, I get at least 1 full day off a week. I am generally free after 5pm on most weekdays. On the weekends I am generally free after 1pm. I’m happy to work with your schedule and find a time that works best! Safety trust, and communication are the biggest things for me. I don't offer boarding services as of now, so all walks and drop-ins will take place in your residence or around your neighborhood.
“This was our first time using Rover, previously we have only left our animals in the care of immediate family. Ray was outstanding! The pictures that were sent each visit, documented the time we missed with Sofie. I couldn't be more pleased with the care and attention Sofie received from Ray.”

“Kate was so good w max! I had a last minute family emergency and she was able to do a drop in visit w Maximus & walked him fed him etc! Max was super excited and loved her! She also communicated with me the entire time! Will use her again for sure! THANK YOU KATE!!!”

About: Various friends and family members have entrusted me to care for their animals and they know they can rely on me because I know their animals needs and I follow their rules exactly I work full time 1st shift for a packaging company and I work over 40 hours per week. My schedule is Monday-Friday 7am-3pm. I currently take public transportation and bike everywhere. My new apartment allows cats only. I currently don’t have any pets in my care, but I have watched various friends and family member’s pets while they had to go away for a few days. My new neighborhood is very pet friendly.
“Bri was wonderful to work with!! She took such great care of our kitty and gave her medication with no problem. Bri went above and beyond and left everything super clean and tidy and sent us tons of pictures. 11/10 we absolutely recommend Bri!”

“Jessica was great! She was responsive and I loved getting updates and pictures from her when she came to check on my cat Arya. One day she wasn’t able to get in my house because of an issue with my automatic lock and even came back a few hours later because she wanted to make sure she was able to check on Arya. I’ll definitely book with her again next time I go out of town!”

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!

About: I have walked dogs at the shelter, cared for family’s and friend’s cats and dogs, and worked at a vet. I grew up with 4 dogs, 1 cat, and 3 birds. I will keep you updated on everything that happens so you have a peace of mind. I am willing to take the dog to the park or follow any specific instructions. I am flexible with scheduling; we can work out a time that is convenient for you! I look forward to working with you to hanging out with your best buddy!
About: ⭐️ My pet sitting experience began in 2016 when I took care of my uncle’s black lab every day after school, my senior year of high school. ⭐️ That same year I took care of my aunt’s two cats for a week while house-sitting. ⭐️ My formal pet sitting experience began during the pandemic. For over a year, I stayed at my friend’s house for about 8 hours while she was at work. I would take her precious pit bull, Lala, out for walks; give Lala and her cat-sister, Sophia, their meds with breakfast, and treat them like the princesses they are. 🕰️ Monday through Friday, I work in the Village of Williamsville, from 8:30 am to 4:30 pm. 🗓️ My weekends are usually free 😇 ✅ Because my parents live nearby, they can keep my cats company so I can accommodate any house-sitting time requirements (e.g. “do not leave the house for more than two hours.”) ♥️ I care for my clients’ pets the same way I care for my cat-sons Remy and Kai. 🫶🏻 I give them all the attention they desire, and I do the less-than-desireable things—like washing the litter boxes monthly—with a smile because I know it’s what’s best for them.
About: I’ve always had a lot of dogs in my growing up, and have had to help take care of them. For the last 3 years I’ve dog sat for multiple different families. I am currently working full time day shift. I have plenty of time in the afternoon on weekdays to walk dogs and also have a lot of availability on the weekends. I am very comfortable caring for dogs in other peoples home. I have house sit and dog sit for multiple different people I’ve the last few years.

“Alyssa was so amazing with my fur babies. She sent daily photos and was extremely communicative. Also cleaned up behind them when they were being a bit naughty (knocked over plants lol) Ultimately, I came home to a clean litter box and extremely happy kittens. I am certain they will miss her and I intend to rebook with Alyssa in the future.”

About: I’ve taken care of pets ever since I was 8, when I ran my own pet service. I have experience with senior pets and with puppies, as well as more difficult temperaments. I’m a full time student, part time pet caregiver. I can take care of pets pretty much any time around my classes. I have always been a pet person, and am excited to pamper your pet. I can crate train the pet and I’m able to accommodate a variety of requests. I am unfortunately unable to take care of pets in my own home, due to lease issues.
About: I have take care of dogs and cats since I can remember. I’ve always had family pets that I looked after. Recently I started to pet sit professionally and have looked after pets with all manners of personalities and needs. I am currently working full time with a hybrid schedule. Monday through Wednesday in the office and Thursday through Friday remote. I am free every weekend and anytime after 5pm. Because each pet parent is unique and has their own ways to raise and care for their pets I strictly adhere to their rules and guidelines. That includes areas they have their pets walk and house rules for those that request house sitting.
About: I have taken care of my parents, family friends, and roommates animals since I was a teenager. I’ve house sit with cats and dogs. From hyper puppies to laid back kitty cats I am here to help. I’ll walk, feed, give lots of love, and attention to your beloved pet. ***I apologize, I will not be available all of August or the beginning of September 2023. I am in the process of moving. I will update my location soon. Thank you for your understanding.*** I do work full-time Saturday through Wednesday, it’s best for me to do check in’s and dog walks for a couple hours in the day. I also do house sitting with your pet, so they aren’t alone at night. I live with my roommates kitty named Nelly, I love her up and feed her whenever my roommate isn’t around. However, I cannot bring animals to my home, because I rent the property and other animals are not allowed. I would be happy to come into your home and provide care and love to your fur baby.

About: I have experience with seizures and strokes in dogs, am able to administer any kind of medication, and have some experience with animals struggling with anxiety. I am a graduate student just looking for some fulfilling part time work. I am available at any point during the weekdays and after October 31st on the weekends I will not be able to host any animals, but I plan on prioritizing the pet’s comfort within their own home and making sure all needs are met

It's my first time having Meg as my cats' sitter and she did not disappoint. She is so much hands on to them and she talks to them like I do. I forgot to specify some instructions on her first day and my Ahlee threw up, and she took care of everything. Other cat sitters I got had just sat and didn't interact with them after they give food and have cleaned the litter box, but Meg would try her best to pet and play with them everytime she visits. We are booking her again for our December trip.

This is our second time using Amanda for our cats and she is just lovely. We have anti social cats I don't think she's ever even seen, though she did send me a picture of some eyeballs peeking at her from the stairs! Even though she doesn't get to see and pet the boys, she still comes over twice a day and makes them their Friskies soup and even leaves them little Temptations piles. Amanda is very sweet in person and we absolutely will be booking her again whenever we go away.

Martha was so kind and attentive with my cat, Sophie. She made sure Sophie was fed and played with and sent lots of photos. She even went the extra mile and cleaned up Sophie’s mess when she wrecked my apartment. I’ll definitely be booking with Martha again when I go out of town!

Emma was wonderful with Knox! She followed all of our instructions, kept us updated throughout her visits, and sent the sweetest photos. Knox clearly loved having her around. We felt completely comfortable knowing he was in such great hands and would 100% use Emma again!

Ciara is everything you could ask for in a pet sitter and so much more!!! It’s a lot easier to find reliable dog lovers than cat on Rover, so I was extremely lucky to find Ciara! I have never felt so confident and secure about leaving my cats in the care of another person, I was finally able to enjoy my vacation without constantly worrying. It is an amazing feeling and I couldn’t have ever expected it. I am forever thankful for Ciara’s kindness and cat hearted spirit. She made even my anxious baby fearless and cuddly. I will absolutely be requesting for her services again!!

Elisabeth was a great sitter. We booked her for our two cats and also for some indoor and outdoor plant watering. She was timely, responsive, and took care of pets and home. We had a fluorescent light randomly break (or maybe not randomly considering cats lol) in the basement and she let us know immediately and also took the extra step to clean it up. Would recommend!
