“We had another phenomenal experience with Jenny where she went absolutely above and beyond! I cannot express how grateful I am to have someone so wonderful and trustworthy to have look after our cat whilst we are overseas. She sent daily photos and updates. You could tell from the love eyes that he made in photos he was happy and she'd won him over! She experimented with new toys and activities and found some things he loved - now he gets so excited when we play Jenny-Games with him! I cannot recommend Jenny enough!”


“Margaret is very reliable. She showed up every day like clockwork, fed my cat, gave her her medication, and played with her. She also sent me plenty of pictures for peace of mind. I'm very relieved that I found such a reliable sitter, and would definitely use her again in the future.”


“Bridget went above and beyond when taking care of my little kitty boy! She made my vacation so much better by taking such good care of him! Will definitely be booking again!”


“Meghanne was absolutely wonderful with Bubba. He’s newly diagnosed diabetic and she was able and willing to give him his injections each day. He was a grumpy boy upon arrival but he warmed up and was very happy with his stay at her house. We will absolutely utilize her services again. Thank you so much, Meghanne!”


“Ali and Rob are amazing! They went above and beyond to make my shy girl comfortable and content on our first trip away, and shared lots of pictures and great notes for peace of mind. Would absolutely recommend!”


“I recently hired Moriah to cat-sit my notoriously grumpy cat, Bagheera, for the weekend. From the moment she stepped into my home, I knew Bagheera was in good hands. Despite his hisses and skepticism, Moriah remained patient and calm and provided daily updates, including photos and anecdotes that assured me Bagheera was not just being fed, but was truly being cared for. What truly impressed me was Moriah's understanding of Bagheera's personality. She respected his boundaries while still ensuring he received the attention and care he needed. I highly recommend Moriah to anyone in need of a cat sitter, especially for challenging or grumpy felines. Her dedication, patience, and genuine love for animals shine through in every interaction. I returned home to a content and relaxed cat, thanks to Moriah's excellent care!”


“Anne was absolutely amazing with Kylo!! She gave him all the same love and attention I would if I was home. She was great about keeping me updated and sending lots of photos. I will absolutely use her services again and reccomend her to everyone!!”


“We had them take care of our two super needy cats while we were out of town for two weeks and couldn’t have been happier with our experience. Frequent updates, lots of pictures, super friendly and easy to work with and everything was clean and perfect when we came back home! The cats were happy and so are we!”


“Kailyn is great! I’ve been gone two weeks and Squeekers is happy and healthy. She is also great with me, the nervous cat mom who will be away for a month. I was nervous about leaving Squeekers with a new person, but when Kailyn came for a Meet and Greet, we knew it was a great fit. I highly recommend her!”


“Chelsea was great! She took care of my two cats while I was on vacation and they absolutely loved her. She followed instructions perfectly and I would definitely recommend her!”


About: I grew up with dogs and all sorts of pets so I have been around them my entire life! I currently have an English Bulldog and a Boston Terrier who I trained when she was a puppy! In addition to this, I petsit for multiple families in my neighborhood! This ranges from overnight stays to just walking/playing outside. I am experienced with dogs of all sizes as most of my clients from home have large breeds! I also work at a dog daycare/boarding facility in the summer and volunteer at the CNYSPCA during my free time in college :) I’m currently a student at Syracuse University so during the week I have class certain days but am free before/after that and free over the weekends as well. I am very flexible when it comes to weekday scheduling as I am always willing move things around to make everything easier for you! I am a huge animal lover so know that I treat every animal with kindness and love. I will always make sure they are fed on time, have clean water in their bowls, can go on frequent walks/let outside, and lots of cuddles!

“Sarah was wonderful to work with, very professional and friendly, and we were very happy to have her help. Knowing that she'll be available for future visits makes planning for trips and events so much less stressful!”


“Sierra did a wonderful job caring for my three cats for a week. They quickly warmed up to her and she gave them lots of attention, playtime and treats! I appreciated her daily updates with photos which let me know that everyone was doing great. She had a concern about their food intake at the beginning of the week and contacted me right away so we could discuss. She is very attentive, trustworthy and responds promptly to messages. I highly recommend her and will hire her for future pet sitting needs.”


“Zuhal was so sweet! My cat stay over her place with her other cat, and they were so sweet and kind. Zuhal made sure to keep me updated throughout the trip. i Definitely an amazing sitter!”


“Cammie did a great job taking care of our cats. She came on time and provided pictures while we were out of town, which reassured us that they were okay while we were away.”


About: I’m not just a pet sitter — I’m a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience that goes beyond the basics. I’ve volunteered at a local dog rescue, fostered dogs in need of extra love and care, and have looked after beloved pets for friends and family for years. What truly sets me apart is the level of compassion and experience I bring. Whether it’s a high-energy pup, a laidback senior dog, or even a small pet like a hamster or guinea pig, I take the time to understand and care for each animal as if they were my own. You can trust that your pet — no matter how big, small, or quirky — will be safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Caring for animals is already part of my daily routine. I have a guinea pig named Chewy, and making sure he’s happy, clean, and well-fed is just part of my day. I also help care for our family dog, Pierre, whether it’s taking him for a walk after work or helping my parents with him during the day. Because of this, I’m already in the rhythm of daily pet care—from feeding schedules and exercise to playtime and attention. I don’t just make time for animals—I naturally build my day around them. When caring for pets in your home, I always treat the space with the same respect I would want in my own. I follow your rules closely, pay attention to routines, and make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable in their familiar environment. I’m a rule-reader, not a rule-bender—whether it’s specific feeding instructions, leash preferences, crate routines, or off-limit areas, I make sure to stick to your expectations. Your home is your pet’s safe space, and I’m there to keep it that way.n

Kailyn provided excellent care for my spicy calico kitty over the weekend! Her updates were very thorough with great pictures, which helped ease my worries about leaving my girl with a stranger for the first time. Best of all, she accepted my cat's behavioral quirks, let her lead their interactions, and made the experience a very positive one for my cat! She was also very flexible and communicative about the timing and duration of the booking. I will definitely be booking with her again ❤️

Alex did a great job, as always, of taking care of our two cats while we were on vacation. She followed our instructions, and the cats were obviously happy to see her. Everything was in good shape when we returned. I would not hesitate to have Alex take care of them in the future.

Cori & Jamie were wonderful. My first time using Rover and was quite worried. They kept my pets schedule and instructions on care and feedings. My cat even came out of hiding for some lovin'. I'd definitely recommend them and will be requesting them for future needs.

We have had Chelsea care for our cat multiple times now, she was always very reliable and communicative. She sends multiple photos and responds quickly if I have a question. Also our cat, who is a bit of an elderly grouch, likes her and looks forward to her visits!
