About: I have taken care of my sister dog for 7 months her name was chichi. I had lots of experience with taking her to walks, making sure she used the bathroom on her walks, also bathing her. I am very playful with dogs and make sure they eat and have a clean bowl of water. I work at my other job during the afternoon but I still am available to take care of your pups from 11am - 2:30 pm. I will always keep your pup in company. I love to watch over playful dogs and love to teach them new tricks. I’m a very kind and generous person and comfortable to be around with dogs.
About: I have been a dog owner for 15 years. I have experice from Puppy to Senior age. My service comes with a walk depending on the weather of course. I work full time from home and love the opportunity to spend time with other dogs. I love how every dog has their own personality. I usually take my lunch break and go for walks with my dog or clients dogs. I will always clean up after them outside and abide with your pets schedule. I home-cook my dogs meals. We love playing endless fetch, we have movie nights on Friday where we watch 101 Dalmatians or another dog themed movie. Go for walks, depending on the dog i sometimes take with me for a coffee date.
“Michelle was great! She seemed very friendly over messages and was very responsive. She came over for a visit with my cat, Juniper, while I was away. She took some super cute pictures of Juniper on her visit. Juniper had a pretty full food dish and plenty of water when I got home too. I highly recommend Michelle. She did a great job!”
“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 had dogs my whole life, can't imagine life without them! I've dog sat numerous times for friends and family that have a variety of different dog breeds. I have a 2 year old chocolate lab at my home in Buffalo,NY named Jaxon and it has been so amazing to get to train him and see him grow, he's the best! When I'm away at school I miss him so much so I'm on rover to get my puppy/dog fix until I go back home! I'm a graduate student who just wrapped up an athletic career at SHU so now have loads of free time since classes are online and at night! I have a lot of experience with dogs in various settings. I've had an old dog and a young dog so I understand the difference in care each age group needs.
“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.”
“Karen was great with my 2 babies! My very timid and very shy of strangers, Shadow, came out for her even after hearing her sister, Sumi, getting all the loving attention! Wholly recommend her and would hire her services again. Very kind and thoughtful and responsive.”

About: I have had many pets throughout my life. From fish to birds and bunnies to cats and dogs. I have had much experience caring for pets since being young. I currently am working as a massage therapist so my work days are relatively short. I work Tuesday through Saturday with most days being 6 hours or shorter.

That being said, I want you to feel 100% comfortable that you’re leaving your dogs in good hands. I’m more than happy to send regular updates and photos while you’re away. I hope you consider me the next time you are looking for a dog walker, leaving for a trip and need someone to stay with your dog or just need someone to stop in for a potty breaks. I am currently a junior in college. I have a fairly open schedule with classes so I can work around whatever works the best for you! I will pay close attention to the instructions given for each animal. It can be difficult trusting people to take care of your animals but I can ensure you that I will treat them like they are my own.

About: While moving around and apartment living has not allowed me to have pets currently, I have years of experience with animals in general, specifically dogs. I live in WNY now but grew up in rural PA on a mini farm with lots of animals doggies included. We mainly owned Belgian Sheepdogs and I trained/showed in the 4H program through my teens. Life changes took me away from continuing in that lifestyle and unfortunately from owning pets at all. However, I've been jonesing for some dog time and also an extra side hustle is always helpful! I've dealt with dogs with from all ages and anything I'm not familiar with I'm always open to learn and implement what works best for your situation. I would love to meet you and help out with your fur babies as needed! 😊 I am trying to get into pet sitting as a side hustle but I have a flexible schedule right now so I'm pretty open! I don't have a home that accommodates keeping pets in but can travel to you! I can only do in client home care but will care for your pet(s) to your preferences! I am not offering overnight stays at this current time but can do drop ins or stay for a duration of time.
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.

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. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
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 .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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.
