“I'm happy with the service Sabrina provided. She was easy to work with, followed all directions, and took good care of my pets while I was away. I'd be happy to book her again.”

“Thanks so much Amanda! My grandoggie had a good day, thanks to you. She was in good spirits when I got home but I could tell that going out with you during the day met her needs. I will certainly book you again!”

“Kelly is an amazing cat whisperer who has taken wonderful care of our skittish cat. She goes above and beyond daily care and our cat actually sits on her lap. Very good with communication. Highly recommend!”

“Abigail was great with my pups and always arrived on time. She made sure my dogs got a bathroom break and treats, as well as making sure they were comfortable before leaving. Highly recommend her for any pet care needs!”
“Carey took excellent care of our 3 cats! She provided daily updates with pictures and letting us know what they were up to. She was also very accommodating with making sure my kitten who just went into heat was doing ok. I would recommend her to anyone! She’s awesome and our cats loved her ❤️ 👏 🐱”

“We are so grateful to Candace for watching our chickens while we were out of town for our wedding! It was an enormous relief to have someone capable and trustworthy to leave them with, and she went above and beyond to communicate and let us know updates. We look forward to working with her again!”

“Allison took excellent care of our 3 month old puppy! She even did a meet and greet with us before we had her take care of her. She was very communicative and took care of everything we needed!”

“Best sitter we've had from Rover so far. (We have talked to several sitters, we liked and were highly qualified). Scott was above and beyond. He had Gremlin be a lap kitty (which he isn't usually, unless he'sstressed) and gave him extra love. It was Gremlin's first time w/o his people since he lost his housemate Dany. Will definitely be our first go to from now on.”

“Angela is reliable, cat friendly and makes you feel at ease knowing she drops in. She made friends with my unsocial cat. That has made us especially glad we had her services.”

“Really appreciated Alie's visits. Was a first trying Rover for a one week trip. Alie sent pics daily and followed instructions well. She even won over our shy kitty:)”

About: I am someone who has truly connected with animals of all breeds and sizes since a young age. I work at a pet boarding resort caring for dogs, cats etc. I love my job and I look forward to continuing in pet care!🐾🩷 My work schedule varies week to week. I am always available early morning, early afternoon, and in the evening. I am always open to discussion! 🐾☀️ Our pets are family in our house. With that being said, every pet is unique inside and out just like all of us- and I love that! 🐾🩷
About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was 5 years old, when I got my very first dachshunds—Peanut and Sweetie. By the time I was 9, I had adopted a shelter dachshund and raised two more dachshund puppies, bringing my total to five dogs at once. I personally trained all of them, which gave me a strong foundation in understanding dog behavior, especially with independent or energetic breeds like dachshunds. Throughout middle school and my teen years, I helped neighbors by dog sitting, walking, and doing drop-in visits, often just for playtime and companionship. One of the dogs I cared for regularly was a sweet senior named Duke, who I’d take outside and spend time with while his owner was away. These experiences taught me how to adapt my care for both high-energy pups and older dogs who need a gentler, more patient approach. In addition to my pet care experience, I am also a dancer, choreographer, and educator. Through years of teaching and working with students of all ages, I’ve developed strong skills in patience, attentiveness, and understanding individual needs—qualities that naturally carry over into the way I care for animals. I also have years of experience caring for cats—both my family’s and now my own sweet cat, Tom. I understand feline behavior, how to earn their trust, and how to create a calm, safe environment where they feel comfortable while you’re away. As a stay-at-home mom to my 2-month-old baby, I’m home often and have a flexible, attentive schedule. I truly value creating a calm, safe, and loving environment—for both pets and people. Whether it’s puppies, seniors, small breeds, or shy kitties, I bring patience, love, and reliable care to every visit. I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. Pet care fits naturally into my daily life. I genuinely love spending time with animals, and I build my schedule to be available when pets need me most—whether it’s morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening playtime. I’m flexible, dependable, and happy to accommodate different routines, including weekend or last-minute needs. Caring for pets doesn’t feel like a chore to me—it’s something I truly enjoy. I prioritize each pet’s safety and comfort above all else. In your home, I follow your routines closely to ensure your pet feels secure and stress-free. I always keep a close eye on surroundings during walks, avoiding unsafe areas or triggers. I’m familiar with handling pets with anxiety, special diets, or medication needs, and I treat every space with respect—leaving it clean and exactly how I found it. Whether I’m in your home or caring for your pet during a walk, you can count on me to show up with calm energy, attentiveness, and love.
About: Hello! I'm Selena, a student at Skidmore college, doing research over the summer. Back home, I'm the owner of one dog as well as two cats, and I regularly dog sit for my friends and family members. My love of animals is well known and I'm always their go-to for pet sitting, as they know I'm always happy to do it. My current Bernedoodle has been with me since she was just a puppy, so I'm very aware of how much care and attention puppies need. I've also cared for dogs on the older side, and I'm open to dogs of all ages and sizes! Caring for pets is very important to me, so much so that when I do not have an animal to care for (i.e. when I'm alone at school), I become very sad. Growing up, taking care of animals every day was very important to me. I am unfortunately a college student living in on-campus housing, so I am unable to care for pets in my own space. However, I make sure pets are happy in my client's home and makes sure to keep the space maintained well!
“Brenna did an excellent job taking care of our kitties. She is very trustworthy. She took multiple pictures of our girls which made us feel at ease that they were doing good & in good hands while we traveled.”

About: I grew up with dogs my whole life, and they’ve always been my absolute favorite companions. Caring for them has never felt like a chore-it’s something that brings me joy every day. My husband and I both love animals, and together we’ll make sure your pets feel completely at home while they’re with us. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or long walks, we’ll treat them like part of our family. We know how important it is to feel confident when you leave your furry friend in someone else’s care. You can count on us to provide a safe, loving, and fun environment, and to keep you updated so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing. I’m on a flexible schedule. Your pets will be never alone, or neglected! I take care of the dogs like our own children even tho we have none! I have a beautiful 5+ all fenced in yard. We are living in a quite neighborhood. Your pet will never be unsupervised in the yard.
“I’ve never left my kitties behind when I travel and was quite worried about it. I’m VERY pleased with the job Jack did. Although my cats are super shy and wouldn’t be social and play, Jack sent a daily pick to reassure me they were fine. I’ll definitely rebook with Jack should I need to travel again.”

About: I just lost my 13.5 year old shepherd, I have been skilled in taking care of him and his old age and needs, I spent his whole life training him in German and English. I spend all day with dogs and know dog behavior very well, I have worked in boarding facility’s giving meds and food and walking dogs and learning their specific personalities. I groom dogs during the week when I’m done working I am free and certain days i have free time to care for others loved babies Care for your pets in your home where they are safe and happy, teach me how you and they like to be loved and cared for and I will always follow every direction given.
