“I can’t say enough wonderful things about Gillian and her family. We’ve used her a lot this year and will continue to trust her to take care of my pup. Cooper is 15 years old, he sleeps a lot but still has a pep in his step. Gillian makes sure he gets outside time and walks along with lots of snuggle time. He isn’t hesitant when we get to their house like he was with other sitters. And he’s acting more like himself there which tells me he is comfortable. I get multiple texts, pictures and videos when he’s there, so I know he’s doing well.”


“This is the 2nd time Mike has watched our 2 dogs, and this time it was for 2 weeks!! The dogs were happy and well cared for and we were able to enjoy our time overseas with no worries. Thank you Mike!! Apollo and Luna miss their friend Bear already!”



“Kyle is an outstanding sitter. Everything was perfect for caring for my pup. I will use her again every time I need a sitter in the immediate area.”


“This was our first time boarding with Sue, but hopefully not our last! She was very communicative throughout, and accommodating when we had to switch our pick up time. She sent multiple updates and pics/videos while he was with her. Our normally anxious dog felt at ease right away and even survived a thunderstorm while there. He normally won’t eat at first when he is away from home but he ate his dinner the first evening there and throughout the weekend. Would definitely rebook with Sue!”

“Maegan accommodated my schedule to pick Hadley up a different day than we originally booked. She left a birthday party just so I could pick up our pup after our trip!”


“We are so glad we found Brigid. Our dog, Roscoe, was comfortable with her right away when we had our meet-and-greet. Brigid asked good questions and took notes. She and her house are well-suited for a little dog visitor. She has a nice, fenced-in yard. Her couch is a cozy spot for napping, snuggling and looking out the window. Brigid stayed in touch with us leading up to our trip and while we were away. It was so fun for us to hear and see pictures of how Brigid and Roscoe were spending their time. I felt that they had developed a special bond and I can't wait to book Brigid again. I think Roscoe feels the same way.”


“Natthinee did a wonderful job taking care of my Moose! She sent lots of pictures and videos of him having a great time doing all of his tricks and playing with their dog. He will definitely be coming back for more visits!”



“Lourdes is amazing! Prince had the best boarding experience. She provided continuous updates and also shared ample of pictures. I will definitely recommend Lourdes to anyone looking for pet boarding!”


“Stephanie made our dogs feel right at home! They were loved on, taken amazing care of & she even took special care with their meds. One of our dogs was fresh of a surgery & there was not 1 hiccup. Stephanie provided lots of updates & pictures which gave us real piece of mind.”


“Anna was wonderful. We didn’t want to leave our doodle in a kennel because he becomes anxious in a crate. Anna was the perfect “homey” option. She was so accommodating, friendly, and professional. We trusted Anna for a full week with our goofy boy and she hit it out the park. We got frequent updates and pics. When we picked him up he was happy to see us, but not in an anxious “omg get me outta here” kind of way. He was just happy and looked healthy. Highly recommend.”


“Vera kindly agreed to host our Piper with less than a week’s notice. She was super communicative, sending a reminder packing list prior to the visit, as well as detailed updates and lots of photos. Piper had a terrific time with Vera and returned home a happy pup. Thank you!”


“Mu loved his stay with Brad and Mery! I received many cute photos and sweet texts while I was away, which warmed my heart and made it so I could relax and enjoy my time away knowing my boy was being cared for like their own. They have a beautiful home and fenced in backyard that truly is like a doggy oasis (a human one too lol). They all bonded right away and it truly was just too cute. It was the first time I had ever left my dog with anyone besides family, safe to say I will choose Brad and Mery again and again and again. They are like angels and so amazing at what they do.”


“Alex and her family were incredibly loving and attentive to my senior pup’s needs. Lots of updates and pictures. Their home was warm and inviting. My dog had a wonderful mini vacation. We will definitely book again.”


“Tiffany is a phenomenal dog sitter! Kept us updated with lots of photos and videos. We deeply appreciated how she treated our pup just like one of her own! We will definitely be using Tiffany again for all our sitting needs ?”


“Asher loved his time with amber and copper he was so well taken care of Asher is back again. It’s a place he seems very comfortable and happy being at and a happy pup means a happy dad!”


About: I’ve grown up all my life around animals. I love for all animals and have much patience and detail. I’ve taken care of animals years I’m a special ed teacher. I work Monday through Fridays 8:30 AM till 3 PM.. as you can tell, I have much patience, love and care I live in a townhouse so I don’t have my own backyard or fenced in area, but I do have a golden retriever who is four years old. We take three long walks every day either at a cemetery or in a park.

“It was a great experience!! It was a last minute booking and they did everything they could to help out and I greatly appreciate it. There is no doubt they care about their clients. I will definitely use them again.”


“Tatiana was great with our Bandit. We're always uneasy about leaving him with strangers, but Tatiana put any fears away. She made us feel comfortable from the start, and Bandit seemed to have enjoyed his stay. We would highly recommend Tatiana and hope she is available next time we're in Schenectady.”


About: I don’t have specific set of skills other than the fact that I am a dog mom. My dogs are my world and my main priority. I have a lot of love to give and I think animals deserve it the most. I’m currently unemployed as I recently left my job as it just wasn’t the right fit any longer. I will make myself available to be with your pet as much as needed and wanted by the client. I’m 44 years old with an older son who is 28. So for people my age who normally have small children I have my 2 dogs and my 2 cats. They are my children My animals are always considered in any and all plans that I may have. They are my top priority and your animal would be no different. I am a nurturer by nature. When I was in need of dog sitter Rover provided me with someone who took care of and loved my dogs just as much as I did. It motivated me to want to be that person for other people. I will love and spoil your animal as if they were my own. Allowing you to leave them knowing they are being well taken care of. I have a fully fenced in yard and I would make any special arrangements as far as feeding, crating etc that would be needed for your animal.

Fort Hunter dog parents share their Rover experiences
Tracy was absolutely wonderful. She has a big beautiful yard for my old girl to sniff around. And Tracy was extra attentive, because Loosey will run off and has absolutely no recall. I will happily hire Tracy over and over. Loosey came back to me happy and healthy. Couldn't ask for anything more.

I can’t say enough about Brad & Mery, they are like grandparents to our Millie. It’s like her second home and I am so grateful that I found them. They love Millie like their own and treat her with such love and compassion . If you are looking for an extension of your family to care for your pet..book now!

Oliver stayed with Alexa and her family for two nights and had the best time making new friends. The family provided a warm and hospitable environment so Oliver felt happy, secure and safe. He will definitely want to stay again if/when that time comes.

Kim is friendly and easy to deal with. She kept me updated and took great care of my dog. I highly recommend her.
