“I can't say enough good things about Stacey. She is truly outstanding in every way when it comes to taking care of Scotch. I always have complete peace of mind knowing my Scotch is in such capable and caring hands. Whether I’m away at work or out for the day, I never have to worry—my dog is happy, safe, and well cared for.”


“Deborah and her daughter were amazing with my dog, Rudy! I got a lot of updates during the day, which I loved. It is such a relief knowing when your fur baby is in good hands, and you definitely get that here! They will 100% be my go-to sitters. Thank you Deborah!!”


“Ashley was great! She was on-time and flexible with our schedule. She was available on short notice, which was very helpful! She sent us a video of our pup relaxing and watching a movie on her lap while we were out and about, which made us feel good about his doggie day care experience.”


“Kristen is lovely, and our shy doodle took to her rather quickly. Add that she is exceptionally easy to work with, clearly cares about our pupper and makes sure we feel comfortable leaving her, and you have an ideal pet sitter. 5+ stars”


“Ginger siempre tiene un buen día con Suanny. Siempre está entusiasmada por regresar y ver Suanny y su familia. Adicionalmente, Suanny es muy amable y flexible con un horario difícil y la necesidad de cambios de planes en el último momento. Es evidente que ella le importa ambos la mascota y la persona.”


“Eden was wonderful! She’s very kind and calm and comfortable with the dogs, so they immediately felt comfortable with her. She asked many appropriate questions, and answered my questions clearly and wisely. The dogs enjoyed their daycare stay and I got a wonderful report card at the end, as well as some pictures during the day. Their home is perfectly set up for dogs, and we definitely will be enjoying her services again in the future!”


“Ginnie was wonderful with my girl.. I couldn’t have asked for someone better. She provided thorough updates and sent photos and was able to accommodate my baby girl’s needs. I am grateful and would go to her again!”


“My little dog, Honeybun, has separation anxiety. Leidy was so patient and kind that it put Honeybun right at ease. I definitely recommend Leidy and will be using her for doggy daycare in the future.”


About: With 20 years of experience caring for dogs and cats, I bring a lifetime of love, dedication, and expertise to every pet I watch. From playful puppies to senior pets with special needs, I’ve cared for them all. I commit to ensuring they feel safe, loved, and completely at ease while you’re away! As I work on launching my own business, I’m thrilled to have the flexibility to care for yourpets. This means I can adjust my schedule to meet your pet’s needs, whether it’s early morning walks, midday playtime, or evening cuddles. Building my business allows me the freedom to focus on providing your furry family member with the personalized attention and care they deserve, whenever you need it most. I know how important it is for pets to feel secure and maintain their routine. I prioritize consistency, exercise, and plenty of affection, making sure your pet feels like they’re at home, even when you’re not. For high-energy or nervous pets, I give them the extra patience and love they need to thrive.

About: I have operated a pet sitting biz for 20 plus years in central NY. I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. I am retired and available everyday anytime of the day to care for your dogs, cats in my home or yours, so you can get away without a worry. I love cuddly, playful, pups, And its quiet and calm here for the nervous ones. I currently have Sabrina and ziggy that are always friendly and reassuring. I have 2 friends labs. I have lots of time to devote. Big yard we go for plenty of walks or just snuggle on the couch. I have a life long love for dogs, cats and horses. Your pet will be welcome in my non smoking, clean place or happy to house sit also. Whichever is better for you and your pup(s)

About: No dog deserves the kennel! Why settle for the pound when they can spend a night in a home with an owner-on-loan; either in your house on in a house that has raised two other pets from puppyhood to old age? Admittedly, there are stairs and hardwood floors in my house, but I have bought several carpets for my old dog to move around on and can lay them down for your dog’s convenience. We also have a big backyard that your dog will love to run around in (and no predators, unless you count woodchucks and geese) and a long leash that can go all the way to the end of the property line. I love dogs and after a day with me, your furry friend will mistake me for his mother. I’m most busy Wednesdays-Thursdays, so I marked them out on the calendar, but if petsitting is required for several days, that is easy to accommodate! I also don’t mind waking up every few hours to take a dog out—I have not quite reached the age where sleep is important. I won’t allow your dog to roam around outside unleashed (sorry, but I don’t want to lose them!), but when they’re outside, I’ll make sure they have the freedom to run around to their heart’s content. Additionally, I’m willing to walk them in any weather they’ll put up with and even let them sleep on the couch/spare bed, if they’re not too dirty.

About: Hi! We are Jared, Emily, Winnie & Aidan. We recently used rover for our pup Ruthie when we went on vacation and decided to sign up to watch dogs since we love them so much! Our pup Ruthie loves meeting new friends and playing! Our big yard will provide hours of fun! We love to snuggle our pup so yours will be allowed on the couch to snuggle with us as well! We have a 10 year old daughter and 1 year old son who love dogs but we do need to make sure the doggies we watch love kids as much as they love them! We have a great neighborhood for walking and we love taking walks to tire everyone out! Jared works a hybrid schedule and is home on Thursdays. Emily’s job allows flexibility to be home when needed and she is home on Fridays. We are both home on the weekend! We are always ready when your pup needs us! We have a large yard that our pup and your pup will have so much fun playing in! When they are outside we are always out watching them. We have a bunch of toys for them to play with and Ruthie is great at sharing! We allow the pups on the couch to get comfortable and also snuggle with us! Our dog sleeps in our room and yours is welcome to as well! Your dog can also sleep in a room we have dedicated for our dog on a very comfortable tempur pedic bed! We also have plenty of room to set up a crate if that's what your dog is used to! We have a camera to check in on them if we have to run out at any time! We want our clients to feel comfortable and at ease leaving their 4 legged family members with us. We love our dog and will love yours while they are in our care!

About: I grew up with a Rottweiler mix pup who became my best friend as a child. Understanding the importance of that relationship now is why I want to help others look after their pups. I currently have a 8 month old male border collie/ poodle mix who is my driving force. When we need assistance with him, we want someone who will love and care for him like we do when we’re away. I’m usually free on the weekends and understand a lot of people are busy and feel guilty leaving their pups home. Therefore I’m excited to be available on the weekends. I have safety gates inside the home at the bottom of the stairs to keep pups on one level. My backyard is partially fenced. We go on leashed walks around Onondaga Park in the Strathmore area.

John R.
“I can't recommend John enough as a pet caregiver on Rover. He has a natural gift with animals, especially dogs, and his empathy and dedication truly shine through in everything he does. For the past two years, John has been the sole caretaker for our elderly, disabled childhood dog. His commitment and love for him have been unwavering, even during the most challenging times. John's deep bond with animals is evident in the way he goes above and beyond to ensure their comfort and well-being. He doesn’t just take care of pets; he builds meaningful connections with them, ensuring they feel loved, safe, and cared for. He has a strong sense of responsibility and he approaches his work with seriousness and integrity. I have full confidence that any pet in his care will receive the highest level of attention and love. As our dog nears the end of his life, it's clear how much he means to John, and it's been incredibly touching to witness his devotion. His genuine affection for animals is unmatched. He is interested in becoming a pet caregiver because he loves to spend time with animals, and I know he will bring the same level of care, compassion, and responsibility to every dog he looks after on Rover. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pet like family, John is a wonderful choice.”
