“Sheryl is the absolute best! She takes such good care of our guys when we are away. It makes our whole trip that much better knowing they are in such good hands while we are away. Thank you again.”

About: I’ve grown up caring for dogs, cats, lizards, and hamsters! Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I truly adore pets of all kinds. Whether they’re energetic, shy, scaly, fluffy, or somewhere in between, I treat every animal like my own best friend. I work remotely, which gives me a very flexible morning schedule and the ability to create my own hours. I love spending as much time as possible with the animals, making sure they feel loved, stay active and engaged through play, and are always safe and well cared for. I live in an apartment complex, so I generally take my dog out every few hours so he can get his exercise, use the bathroom, and enjoy the outdoors. I do the same with those I’m sitting for!

“Eric took such good care of my dog, going above and beyond when I needed help. He even stayed longer when I was going to be home later than expected. Would recommend to anyone.”

About: I grew up on a farm in Cambria/Lockport, NY and have been surrounded by animals my entire life. Caring for animals has never been a job to me, it’s just how I was raised. Growing up, I helped care for 50 baby calves, 2 horses, 18 cats, 8 dogs, a miniature goat, and over 1,000 exotic birds and parrots since my mom was an exotic bird breeder. I’m comfortable with dogs and cats of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels, including senior pets, shy pets, and high energy dogs. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet because I feel the exact same way about my own little dog, Bambi, who is spoiled and loved like family. I’m dependable, patient, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, cuddles, medication reminders, or just someone calm and caring around them, I will treat them like they’re my own. I currently have a flexible schedule and am available for dog walks, drop in visits, potty breaks, feeding, playtime, cat care, companionship visits, and overnight in home stays while owners are away on vacation. I understand that pets thrive on consistency, attention, and comfort, and I truly enjoy spending quality time with animals throughout the day. I am dependable, communicative, and willing to work with different schedules whenever possible to help pet owners feel comfortable knowing their pets are being cared for like family.

“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!”

About: I provide reliable, compassionate care for both cats and dogs, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. My responsibilities include feeding, providing fresh water, walking dogs, cleaning litter boxes, administering medications when needed, and giving pets plenty of exercise, playtime, and affection.I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, so I take the time to follow each owner’s instructions closely to help pets stay comfortable and reduce stress. I am dependable, patient, and committed to treating every pet as if they were my own while giving owners peace of mind that their companions are in caring hands. I work full time Monday through Friday from 7am to 3pm, but I’m available for pet care before work, after 3:30pm on weekdays, and any time throughout the weekends. I can provide evening walks, drop-in visits, overnight care, and weekend boarding. I’ll always communicate with you, follow your pet’s routine, and make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, and quality care while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a large fenced yard for dogs to enjoy, and the driveway entrance is securely blocked off whenever pets are outside. Cats are kept safely indoors in a calm environment. I have two friendly, well-socialized dogs, and I always introduce pets carefully while supervising all interactions. I can keep pets separated if needed, follow your pet’s routine, and provide regular updates with photos so you know they’re happy and well cared for.

“Delen was a wonderful caretaker for all of my pets! My cats love her and she is very knowledgeable about animal care requirements. We will definitely use her services again!”

About: I have taken care of my own two dogs for 10 years now. I also cat sit and care for friends and family; including giving medications and special dietary needs. I work a flexible job from home and can do my best to meet your needs! I am home to take walks on my lunch break and let the dog out for frequent bathroom breaks. Fenced yard with two small dogs of my own (very friendly). I prefer to watch pets in my own home for extended stays and can be flexible.

About: Hi, I'm Lindsey! Having grown up with dogs my entire life and now caring for my own dog and two cats, I know exactly what it takes to keep pets happy and thriving. With a background in social work, I bring a deeply empathetic, patient, and highly responsible approach to pet sitting. I focus exclusively on care in your home, ensuring your pets stay comfortable in their familiar environment. My work as a barista gives me great daytime flexibility, making me the perfect fit for midday walks, fresh water refills, and plenty of affection while you're away. I am calm under pressure, a great communicator, and will treat your home and your fur babies with the utmost respect! i work as a Barista so my schedule is flexible and I have availability during each day and night to provide consistent pet care and walks. Depending on what works for you, I can be flexible. My respectful and empathic nature makes me a great fit for in home pet care. Building trust and safety is the most important thing to me.

About: I have always had pets (i.e., cats, dogs) growing up, training them on my own, helping out close friends and family members, and have always enjoyed my time spent with the furry animals. I have been around all types, ages, and breeds, making my experience vast! I currently have the ability to work from home full time during the week or go into the office, but I gravitate towards working from home most of the time. I have a good amount of flexibility which allows me to conduct drop ins for walks during the day or overnight stays. I have always felt a strong connection to animals/pets and so it comes as second nature understanding what the pet needs at the time. I can follow instructions if there are any specifics to adhere to but will also tend to your pet as if it was my own and care for it like my own.

“Jamie was a lifesaver after my normal sitter moved out of state. She was prompt and provided me with plenty of updates and pictures of my fur babies. I would highly recommend her if you ever need someone to care for your pets when you are away.”

About: Hi, I'm Sarah, your local full-time petsitter! I've been a volunteer at a no-kill animal shelter since 2013. I've handled animals of every size and disposition with love and care in my time volunteering. I've been pet sitting independently since 2017, starting with a household of nine amazing fur and feather babies . I've worked with senior animals and those with special needs, caring for their unique physical and emotional needs when their parents are away. I've had practice giving medications orally, in-ear, subcutaneous injections, and am capable of following detailed instructions. I've been pet sitting through Rover since 2020, and I've also photographed pets professionally for several years, having worked with many different types of animals with patience and care. Besides all that, I was a cat mom for seventeen years and loved every second of it. CATS ARE WELCOME TO EVERY SERVICE I PROVIDE. I only book one family at a time, so there are no conflicts with other animals. I've always had an affinity for caring for animals and will always do my best to make sure they are comfortable, healthy, and happy. UPDATE for 2022: At this time I am no longer accepting new boarding appointments. I have however kept boarding open as an option so that new clients can find me. I know some families are skeptical of having someone come and stay at their home, but I find this is the best option for the welfare of the animals. If you are looking to board, but would be open to housesitting, please read my reviews (mostly gained from housesitting) and get in touch so we can set up a meet and greet. I look forward to hearing from you! DROP-IN Requests can be scheduled for up to 2 hours at the listed rate. Please message me with the details of your request if you would like longer than the standard 30 minutes. Notice of rate increase: As of February 1, 2025, single pet rates will be increasing from $65 to $70 in order to keep up with inflation. Multi-pet rates and drop-ins will remain the same. If you have booked with me already or have a booking pending, your rates will not go up for those bookings. Thank you for understanding, and thank you for being part of my Rover family! Since early 2020, I have made petsitting my full time career. I typically take one client at a time in order to provide the best care possible for animals that may struggle with separation anxiety or have set routines that their parents would prefer they keep while away. When I take a job caring for an animal, they become my priority. When I sit for a client in their home, their pet's environment, I dedicate the utmost respect to privacy and personal space. It's my job to care for an animal and I do that by observing their behavior, fulfilling their needs, and offering affection to the degree they are comfortable with; whether that's waiting for a shy animal to come to me for a sniff or to be pet, or an animal which has no concept of personal space at all (not an issue for me, I love cuddlers!). As for your home, I love to have a tour during meet and greets and get to know what rooms are accessible to me as a guest. I am very respectful of other people's homes and belongings and will always ask first if there's something I can't find or unplanned that I need to access during my stay. I pride myself on being trustworthy and tidy.

“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've had dogs and cats almost my entire life. My family and I are huge animal lovers and supporters. I always care for animals as if they are my own because pets are a member of your family and deserve the best. My schedule is pretty flexible so I am able to accommodate requests. Please contact me and I'm sure we can arrange days and times that work for both of us! We can discuss what you need for your pet while I care for them in your home. I can do check-ins, walk them, play with them, feed them, etc. Just let me know!

“Five out of five stars! Was great knowing that my pets were in good hands while I was away- didn't have to worry!”

About: I have had dogs and cats, and taken care of other small animals for my family for years. I understand the bond of families with their animals and respect that! I am retired from full time work, but do participate in volunteer activity. A part time role of caring for your pet as needed will best fit my schedule. Or providing in home care for your pet while you travel will work as well. I am happy to come and take care of your pets in your home, where they are comfortable in their own environment. I respect the pet owners preferences on how best to care for their beloved pet.

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.
