“My dog absolutely loves her!! Highly recommend. She keeps me inform with my pet. I was worried about leaving my pet with someone and she eased my worries.”
About: I’ve been taking care of my two lab mix dogs for 14 years and many others before Annie and Copper. Annie is a senior with issues such as she’s almost totally blind and her hips are very stiff but she still loves her walks. I’m patient and don’t mind cleaning up her accidents. My son flies me to Long Island 3 times a year to cat sit for Thea and Ollie and they are a joy! I would never rush and will always provide quality time with your pet. I took an early retirement in 2020 during Covid so I have plenty of time and I enjoy walking. I try to get in an average of 12,00 steps a day. I’m very respectful of other people’s property. I couldn’t care for a pet in my home because of my two dogs. They’re older and very set in their routine. I’m very used to feeding and washing out their bowls and making sure they always have water. Picking up after them is something I try to do asap. It’s more sanitary to always keep up with it and it also keeps them from stepping in it the next time they go out. I also cat sit for my neighbor and my son so scooping is no big deal either. If needed, I can brush your pet, wash their face, wipe their feet and even bathe if necessary.
“Mackenzie attended to our 2 cats while we were gone for the week on vacation. She was very reliable & responsive to our cats needs. Communication was excellent, updating us with pictures and texts.”
“Jessica was amazing! I was a nervous wreck leaving my babies for the first time but Jessica made sure they got their medicine daily, gave them pets and took care of them. I got daily pictures of my kitties and she even included the resident neighborhood cat that visits every day too! Would definitely recommend!”
“Nina took great care of our two senior kitties while we were traveling abroad; she even went to the post office to pick up the pet meds that didn’t arrive on time prior to our departure. We returned home to two relaxed, happy cats. Your pets will be well looked after!”
“Jessica was so amazing with our kitty while we were away. Even though he isn’t that social she did an amazing job keeping him engaged and distracted him from us being away. Highly recommended!”
“Mackenzie took good care of our bashful cat, Virgil, on her drop in visits. I was extremely glad that she was able to interact with him as he usually hides. She takes pictures not only of the cat but the areas dedicated for Virgil’s space.”
About: As a kid we raised bassett hounds. My mother was a cruelty investigator. I helped her on cases from time to time. We raised ducks as well. I have owned many pets through out my life. I currently have 3 dogs and a service dog in the making. I worked at a kennel where I was the caretaker for two buildings taking care of close to 200 puppies a day. I cleaned up after them, sanitize their living area, fed them and gave them water. I fell in love with a little guy who kept being passed over. He had been there for 8months. I decided to bring him home and make him part of the fur family. It was very rewarding especially when they got a new home. No aggressive dogs please! All dogs must be current on their shots!
“Dave did a last minute drop in which we were sooo appreciative for that! The pups looked like they had some fun and lovin!”
About: I've been in animal rescue for 20+ years. Dogs, cats and small animals. I own 3 senior dogs and they have been my family since they were young pups. I enjoy walking with dogs, playing with them even cuddles to assure them they are in good hands until mom or dad return. Im available for daily visits. Up to an hour visit at a time. Also available for boarding kitties. I do require 24 hour notice on all drop in appts. Also available to schedule daily visits on a weekly schedule. I do not care for you dog in my home but while caring for them in yours I assure their safety and well being as if they were my own. I have never met an animal I didn't adore.
About: Growing up with and subsequently having my own pets, I understand the importance of having a trusted contact to call on when needed. My specialty lies with young, middle age and senior dogs. I love how each pup has their own personality and I do what I can to help them shine! Whether they are really active and need lots of attention or like to snuggle inside, I let them be themselves! I also have experience with cats and guinea pigs and am open to taking on more diverse pets. I am available for daily walks, overnights or day time activities for animals of all types! I am currently self-employed and make my own schedule, so I am able to fit in any kind of hours necessary! I am also available for overnights, extended stays and vacations. I am available to come to your own home to keep your pet(s) comfortable and safe within their spaces and routines. If extended overnight care is needed, we can explore the option of coming to my own home as well. I have a very large fenced in yard in a small, safe community.
“Elizabeth is capable and friendly, and easy to communicate with. She clearly knows how to care for animals, and my two dogs and cat took to her right away. I feel secure in leaving my pets in her care.”
“Second time having Natalie come and check on my cat while I was out of town. Natalie did an amazing job taking care of my cat and giving her the medications that she needs. Her attention to detail and caring attitude make going on a trip worry free.”
About: I have been dog sitting neighbors and friends dogs since I was 10. I have lots of experience with it. Whatever service you need me to do even if it’s not a service on there I will do as much as I can to help you. I’m currently working from home so I can take care of dogs at any time I’m always available! I am very flexible as well and work with you if need be.

About: I have experience with all kinds of pets. Especially dogs and cats. I have had dogs my entire life and cats of my own for about 2 years now! I currently work and go to college.

I also have experience with taking care of dogs and cats if drop in visits are needed. I am also extremely gentle with all animals and love them with all of my heart
About: I grew up on a farm and have experience taking care of most animals. I love spoiling my family dog and look forward to being able to take care of your pet(s)! I’m in charge of my work schedule! The three day notice will just help me make sure that my job is properly staffed while I’m gone. I’ve taken care of multiple dogs in other people’s homes. I usually get a list of how much/how often feeding should happen. Along with any special medicines/things that may be needed. NOTICE: I ONLY will be accepting jobs through Rover. Please don’t try to get me to do work that isn’t through here unless we’ve already met in person. I will not be accepting those jobs.
“We were very happy with Emma! We had a last minute need for drop-in dog care, and Emma did a great job. We felt very comfortable leaving Winston in her care, and he had a great time with her.”
About: I have walked and interacted with various sizes and types of dogs and puppies. I have worked with pure bred dogs, stray dogs, and multi breed dogs. I am retired and working part time at a horse farm. My schedule is flexible, and I would love to meet your pet(s) and provide them with the best care possible. I am able to provide drop-in services at your home. I will keep your pet(s) cared for and your home clean. While I am new to Rover, I have cared for animals while people are away and can provide references at any time.
About: I have grown up with dogs and rescued my big hunk of love Leo. I love dogs of all sizes, breed and ages and cats as well. I actually like dogs more than people. I also am a cute cat lover too! I have two black beauties that love to snuggle up but also play when they are feeling up for it. I have a pretty flexible schedule as I am a personal trainer and I teach fitness classes so I don’t have a typical 9-5 job. Feel free to ask questions. I crate my dog when I am at work. He loves going in it and waits for me to shut the door every morning before I leave.
About: **Currently available M-F all day/times** UPDATE: ALL animals must be on flea prevention when staying at my house for daycare/boarding (natural flea treatments are OK) Going to a Bills game? I'm very close to the stadium! Perfect for you to go tailgating and pick up your puppy after the game! I am an experienced dog owner, dog rescuer, trainer and rehabilitator as well. If you have a hard time finding somebody to take care of your large breed or special needs pet, I'm your girl! I am also experienced in administering medications, both pills and injections. I also have experience with exotic animals as well - I am available to care for arachnids, reptiles, amphibians, fish, birds and other small animals. I will follow your care instructions to the best of my ability, first. I never leave pups unattended (if I do it is for work and they are under camera supervision) as I believe they should have full watch while under my care. FOR BOARDING: Please make sure your pup is crate/kennel trained and on flea prevention 😁♥️ If I am boarding your pet at my home, they will be free-roam unless I step out for work or errands in which they will be in their crate. Proper crate training is necessary when boarding with me. Following your care instructions is my priority while creating a calm, quiet environment while I am taking care of your pets. I follow all safety precautions and I also utilize camera supervision while I am away from your pet.

He was always getting dressed up for every holiday and he seemed to enjoy it. She is always around her mom and sisters dogs as well. I would trust her with my animals with no worries. I highly recommend her!”
