“Andrea was excellent with our pups! We have a new puppy who is very timid, but Andrea got her to warm up to her after only one visit. Our older dog had no issues warming up to her as well. She also helped clean up some messes when puppy had an accident which was much appreciated!”
“Ariana took such good care of our lil man, Mr. Teddy. 💞 The pictures were fantastic as we were away. And she handled giving his daily oral medicine extremely well. 10/10!”
“Stacey was a wonderful cat sitter while we were out of town. It was our first time using Rover and couldn’t have gone smoother. Stacey was great with communication and sent us regular updates and pictures.”
“Elizabeth was such a huge help! My circumstances were changeable as I planned my trip. Elizabeth was very accommodating. She was very thorough and watchful over my senior cat who has some health issues. Thanks again!”
“Gretchen dropped in on my pup and I couldn’t have asked for a better caregiver! Ziggy has separation anxiety and she made sure he was well taken care of. She was very communicative and proactive before and during her visits. Would absolutely book again!”
About: There hasn't been a time in my life that hasn't had multiple pets in it. I have worked on farms and in a vet hospital and the joy of making an animal happy never goes away. I currently have 2 small dogs and 3 cats, the oldest being 20 years old. I would love the opportunity to help you care for your animals. i work remote and therefore have the ability to schedule my work around the needs of any animals I might be taking care of while their humans are away! Having a dog with behavioral issues for years taught me a great deal about how to work with and understand dogs better. Each animal is unique but I find that with enough patience and scritches you can make most tails wag.
“Jillian was amazing with our three needy kitties! They were very well taken care of and she was communicative with us the whole time - we will be booking with Jillian again!”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was a little girl. Growing up, my family always had at least one dog in the house, and I would usually convince them to get more! I’m always asked to pet sit by family and friends as my love for animals is known by all. Since I’ve moved into my own apartment, I’ve volunteered at the SPCA and have fostered multiple dogs! I always need to have dog interaction in my life, so since I’m not quite ready to adopt, I take care of shelter pups or other people’s dogs when they need the help! I am currently an undergraduate student at University at Buffalo. I have a fairly flexible schedule as all my classes are on Tuesdays and Thursdays, giving me a generous amount of free time during the remaining days of the week. I currently live in an apartment with no dog of my own, however, I grew up in a house that always had a dog. I still consider my mom’s dogs my own, and visit them quite frequently. I’m the type to sit down and spend lots of quality one on one time with a pup. I never get tired of playing and would love to go on long walks around the neighborhood. I am also a sucker for spoiling dogs with treats :)
“Abby is great!! She stopped in to let my eight week old puppy Luna out. She was prompt and very responsive! She was even willing to stay a little longer to make sure Luna was taken care of. I would definitely recommend her!!!!”
About: I've been taking care of cats and dogs for friends, family and coworkers for years. I love all types of personalities and enjoy spending time with pets of any age. Our fur babies mean so much to us and as the saying goes … “It takes a village”. I'm currently working two part-time jobs, one I create my own schedule for. Looking for something to fill the rest of my time that brings me joy! (Weekly schedules can be made after the first booking!) I have a friendly dog to keep your pet company but a ton of extra space in the home to keep separated if necessary or requested. I am in walking distance to many trails and enjoy taking a nice stroll.
About: I grew up with dogs, so I am pretty comfortable around them. My services for dogs is mainly taking out for walks and feeding them when you're unavailable. Not much luck in the job department as of late, so I'd rather do something to keep active and make a little something from it. The reward is getting to meet your pets and knowing that I am helpful in the time of need. I am available on weekdays anytime after 8am. I will do as the future client suggests when it comes to caring and feeding their pet. I will treat their pets as if they were my own.
“It was a wonderful experience to have Lana look over our three cats. She very quickly became friends with all three even two that are normally very reserved with new people. She went above and beyond with live updates, photos and videos. Made me feel totally happy that the fellas were in good hands while we were away. Would ? recommend Lana to anyone needing Roger services. I totally love this app/service and how it can connect you with people like Lana who are so good with our furry friends. ?”

Marine did a great job taking care of Chidi, who I know can have his behavior quirks and difficulties! She was very responsive and a pleasure to work with- I trusted that Chidi was in good hands when I had to take a last minute trip out of town. I received lots of pictures and Chidi looked like he had a great time. I would definitely have her care for Chidi again and recommend her to anyone looking for A+ cat care!
Heather has been cat sitting for us for a couple years now and her attention to detail and level of care for our cats is phenomenal. We always receive amazing daily updates with lots of pictures. We know our cats are in good hands with Heather and can enjoy our time away.
Meg was absolutely wonderful with my dog, Roscoe! She gave him so much love and attention, and I could tell she really cared about making him comfortable and happy. She was very attentive to both his needs and mine, and I appreciated how flexible she was with the changes in our schedule. I felt at ease knowing Roscoe was in such great hands. Highly recommend Meg!
Jessica was absolutely fantastic. She was prompt and on time for each visit. She came over before she was scheduled to allow us to show her where things were and how to give our cats meds. Took plenty of pictures for us to let us know our cats were okay. This was the first time we had left our cats alone since one of them was diagnosed with a congenital heart disease. The peace of mind she gave us can not be overstated. Also, she was very understanding when we had to change the schedule last minute. Thank you so much!
