“Kara was on time for the meet and greet. She was engaging and showed genuine interest when we were talking. She has a quick smile which I liked. She got to meet Smoky but Joey was hiding under the bed because it was raining really hard and he hates the rain. It was a very positive meeting and we booked for Easter weekend. Gail”


“Alyssa was excellent in checking in on our cats while we were away for a week. Both cats warmed up to her quickly, even our shy one. She followed their care instructions perfectly and I would highly recommend her for cat drop in visits.”

“An amazing sitter! She went above and beyond for us. So thankful for her and being able to drop in last minute for us. I would recommend to anyone. She handled our crazy pups so well.”

“Jackie is outstanding. She took the time to come meet our dog before accepting our request which we really appreciated. Jackie took time on every visit to play with Bella and take care of all the necessities. I highly recommend Jackie and she will be our first choice for any future pet sitting needs.”

About: - I have a 3 yr old rescue named Maisy who deals with reactivity so we no longer offer boarding or daycare in our home. I also have a 9 year old Belgian Malinois who my boyfriend rescued from animal fighting. She is sweet as pie and a people lover. Both of my dogs have undergone training programs at the art of dog. Maisy has also done training at the happy hound. Both girls are healthy and up to date on vaccines. - I previously fostered for Buffalo Underdogs Rescue, which gives me a chance to help save many amazing dogs, learn to potty train and care for puppies and young dogs - I volunteer at white whiskers dog sanctuary where I have learned to care for elderly and special needs pups - I grew up dog-sitting for neighbors and friends and also have a family senior dog who I grew up caring for - I have volunteered as a dog walker for a local animal shelter I work remotely on Fridays and can be home all weekend. Monday through Thursday I work in the office in downtown Buffalo near canal side. I am open to services on these days after 5pm. I will follow the specific instructions left for me by the owner. I ask for a thorough and detailed list of information regarding how to make your pet happy and well taken care of so I can be sure to provide the best care I can. I will treat your pet like they are my own.
“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.”


About: I have experience as an overnight pet sitter, drop-in visitor, and dog walker, providing dependable and attentive care tailored to each pet’s individual needs. I truly love dogs and all animals, and caring for them is something I genuinely enjoy and am passionate about! One of my greatest strengths is communication. I understand how important it is for pet owners to feel informed and at ease, so I make it a priority to provide regular updates, photos, and quick responses. I treat every pet like they are my own and work hard to ensure both pets and owners feel happy, comfortable, and confident in my care. As a college student home for the summer, I have a very flexible schedule throughout the day for dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting. Along with my nannying experience and active lifestyle, caring for pets fits naturally into my routine. I’m dependable, organized, and love spending time with animals, whether that’s going on walks, providing overnight care, or stopping in for visits and playtime. I always make it a priority to keep pets comfortable, safe, and on their normal routine when I’m caring for them in a client’s home. I follow all feeding schedules, walking routines, medication instructions, and any specific care requests to make sure each pet feels as stress free as possible. I love spending quality time with animals through walks, playtime, cuddles, and attention based on their personality and needs. In a client’s home, I make sure to respect the space, keep everything clean and organized, and provide regular updates with photos and communication so owners feel comfortable while they’re away.
“Jenna was a pleasure to communicate with, she sent many pics with the cats, and was always on time. All the pets seemed very happy on our arrival home! Highly recommend and will hire again!”
About: I’ve helped take care of dogs since I was 10. I helped train our Bernese Mountain Dog puppy at a young age, and played a great role in taking care of her for the next six years. I’ve dog sat and dog walked friends and families dogs plenty of times over the past few years. Some of these dogs were beagles, labradors, retrievers, and collies. I’m currently an undergraduate student, I only have two or three classes a day and then I’m available for the rest of the day! When I’m on school breaks, I work a part time job, giving me a lot of free time to watch your fur baby. My house has a fenced in yard making it easy to take out your pet. I have no other pets currently, ensuring you a safe environment if they’re at my home. I can easily put your pet in a crate if needed, and I’m very attentive!
“I highly recommend Vidya to anyone in need of a responsible, caring, and professional dog sitter. She truly went above and beyond, and I will definitely be booking her again in the future. Thank you Vidya for taking such wonderful care of Simba”

About: I’ve taken care of friends dogs when they went on vacation. I am happy to follow any guidelines you have for your dog and can stick to a schedule you give me! I am a current student on summer break and am able to care for your fur baby and give them all the attention and love they deserve. I do not have any other pets so there is no need to worry about your dog getting along with other pets in the home. I also have a spacious backyard and can take the dog on long walks around the neighborhood.
About: 30 year old located in Cheektowaga who has reliable transportation and experience with pet sitting since high school. I’m organized and responsible as I have grown up with dogs ranging in weight/ size my whole life as well as having my own currently. Therefore, I feel confident and comfortable helping you and taking care of your pet whether it be walks or administering medicine as needed! My most recent dog watching includes a house with one small dog that has been reoccurring over the past 3 years, and another house with two dogs (one small, one medium), a cat, and a bird. Both dogs require specific diet instructions. I look forward to chatting with you and the opportunity to make a new fur friend! I do work full time Monday through Friday during the day, but I do not have any children so my nights and weekends are extremely flexible! In my own home I have a completely fenced in yard, but walk my dog almost every day (weather permitting). Daily playtime and snuggles are also part of our routine!
About: I’ve always grown up with dogs and cats in the house since I was born and miss it since I’ve moved out here! I was responsible for feeding, walking, administering medicine, and it all. My girlfriend and I currently work from home so am available 24/7 for anything your pet needs. I take breaks throughout my day that can accommodate walks, play time, and feeding. On the weekends, I’m never too far from home and will be just as attentive as the weekdays. Yours pets safety and comfort is first priority! Accommodating them to ensure they feel safe and lived away from home. I live downtown and have close access to parks/bike paths while living in a building with 24/7 security.
About: I have been a dog lover since I was young, my dad was a breeder/trainer of labradors for field trials. I have experience with training and handling of many kinds of dogs. Last summer our family said goodbye to our two dogs (a lab and a miniature dachshund) and in December we added a new mini dachshund to our house! I still have plenty of time (and energy!) to help out other pet “parents”. I will give your pets all the love they need!! I am mature, responsible and love being active! My profile might be a little confusing since I spend summer months in Minnesota, winter in Florida and “shoulder seasons” in western New York but I love staying busy no matter where I am!! I am currently not working in a structured job so will have a very flexible schedule. I can make most times work on both weekdays and weekends! At this time I am not able to care for pets in my home—will be happy to take care of your dogs at your home.
About: My family always had pets. I love all animals but especially dogs. Size and breed do not matter to me, I will give your dog the best care. I am happy to provide care services in my home or your home. I love the outdoors and I am used to high-energy dogs. I will make sure your pet is healthy and happy. I love taking the dogs out on long walks and playing with them in our fenced in yard. If your dog is used to going to dog parks, I am happy to take them. I will also perform baths. My dog Wally is 6 months old. He is well socialized and has obedience training. Your pets will be in a safe, fun, space where they can gain socialization experiences.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - East Amherst
Kelly was awsome! I will definitely be hiring her again to watch my dogs when needed. During the meet and greet she came with a pen and paper to write all the instructions down. She even took note on how to tell the dogs apart!. My oldest dog Zoey would not walk without a treat which she demonstrated during the meet and greet. This did not deter Kelly she was very patient with her! During the visit she kept me informed by texts and pictures. She even sent me a video! I definitely recommend her!

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a East Amherst stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 East Amherst 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.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in East Amherst with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
