“Kelsey did such an amazing job with our cat! Like most cats he needs a little time to warm up and she was so patient with him. He was loving all the playtime he got and by the end even crawled into her lap for attention. Her updates and pictures were detailed and we were able to enjoy our trip knowing our cat was happy, healthy, and enjoying time with Kelsey. The next time we need a sitter we'll definitely be booking with her again!”
About: I have hands-on experience from working at a doggy daycare, where I cared for dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. I’ve also provided regular dog walking, in-home sitting, and medication support for friends and family. Whether it’s a playful puppy, a shy rescue, or a senior dog with special needs, I’m confident, patient, and ready to meet them where they’re at. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priorities. I can’t wait to meet your pet and give them the care and attention they deserve! As a nursing student studying at D’Youville University in Buffalo on summer break, I have a very flexible schedule and am available every day from Monday to Sunday. With plenty of time to dedicate to pet care, I’m reliable, attentive, and happy to keep your pets comfortable and cared for while you’re away. In your home, I stick to your pet’s routine to make sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home—even when you’re not. Whether it’s feeding, meds, walks, or just some good company, I’m there to give them the care and attention they’re used to. I’ll keep you updated along the way, so you always know how they’re doing. My goal? Happy tails, comfy naps, and peace of mind for you.
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.
“Elizabeth cared for Dasher while I was away for a few days. She was great to communicate with and since I was going to be out of touch for a few days she agreed to keep my sister informed as well which was much appreciated.”
“Haley was exceptional in caring for our dog! Our dog is overly shy/anxious and Haley was amazing in how she approached getting our dog to trust her. It wasn’t easy, time consuming, and didn’t happen in a day but kept trying until she earned our dog’s trust! She stayed longer than she needed to when our dog was being skittish to ensure she got the necessities during a visit. Haley provided updates for every session including an overview of the session, pictures, videos, and even did some training with our dog! She played with our dog/took her for walks when she noticed our dog needed to burn some energy. She also reached out to us with any questions and asked for our opinion when needed. I will definitely be using Haley to watch our dog in the future!”
“Rachael did an awesome job. Between quick communication and taking great care of my cat Tinkerbell at my home, I would highly recommend her. She answered any and all questions timely and sent pictures every day. Thank you Rachael!”
“This was our first time using Rover, previously we have only left our animals in the care of immediate family. Ray was outstanding! The pictures that were sent each visit, documented the time we missed with Sofie. I couldn't be more pleased with the care and attention Sofie received from Ray.”
About: My first family dog came into my life when I was 6 years old, and I have loved and lived with dogs ever since. I love all shapes and sizes, and have a special fondness for the big and fluffy types. In addition to caring for my own dogs over the years, I have dog-sit for friends any time I had an opportunity. I can offer walks, backyard playtime, and snuggles on the couch (with mom or dad's permission, of course!) I know many dogs and their families have a certain routine that they don't like to deviate from, and I always do my best to keep your dogs on the schedule they're used to. I get to make my own hours for my day job, so I have lots of flexibility! I'm available mornings, weekends, some evenings, and most holidays. I come to a pet owner's home with the awareness that I am a stranger encroaching on your pet's space, and will treat your home and your fur babies with the upmost respect. I am great at following detailed instructions to a T and will adapt depending on what helps your pets feel the most comfortable.
About: I grew up with dogs and took care of them my whole life. I get so excited and look forward to meeting new furry friends! I have 4 children : 2 black labs, a Staffordshire mix, and a Russian blue cat. I have experience with walking and caring for both large and small dogs. It makes my day seeing how happy dogs get from a single walk or a belly rub. Dogs are my passion and would love to make their day by giving them endless compassion as they do for us. I am almost always available during the summer. I'm a student athlete at Buffalo state, so my summer weekly routine is very flexible for your pets needs I live in a great neighborhood which is very dog friendly. My street I live on is very peaceful with plenty of dogs and very low traffic. My house has a medium sized unfenced backyard.
“Ciara was super responsive and helpful when I needed a new cat sitter on really short notice! She wanted to know absolutely everything abt my cat's routine to make him as comfortable as possible while I was gone, and he loved her so much even though he's often pretty skittish around new people. I got lots of photos and detailed reports every day, she was really attentive to his behavior and making sure he was okay, and overall was just fantastic!”
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 :)
“An amazing sitter! She went above and beyond for us. So thankful for her and being able to drop in last minute for us. I would recommend to anyone. She handled our crazy pups so well.”

Ashly E.
“Ashly is a very compassionate young woman who loves dogs dearly. I adopted a dog a year ago and she was there while I was receiving him; she would always be gentle with him and play with him. She has also helped me care for him whenever she would visit me, such as helping me feed him, helping me teach him tricks, and she has given me valuable advice that would keep my dog safe and happy. She has always proven to be reliable and is always there when I need help caring for my dog. She has taken care of him whenever I am not home and makes sure that my dog is fully taken care of, whether that's with feeding, playing, or walking him. She is a very responsible person and I trust her to care for not only my dog, but other dogs as well. I highly recommend her for this position.”
Jamie M.
“Jamie is one of the kindest and thoughtful caregivers I've met. She loves all animals and it certainly shows in her level of investment to ensure the safety, comfort, and happiness of those under her care. I have seen her engage with dogs and cats of all ages, from puppies with all of the energy in the world to our 19 year old cat who somehow still has a skip in her step. From walks to grooming to providing medication accurately, Jamie is trustworthy and consistently goes the extra mile.”

Grant Ferry pet parents share their Rover experiences
Ciara was amazing! She left detailed descriptions of the day's that she visited and took care of our Orangies which made us Cat Parent’s very at ease on our vacation, knowing they were in good hands. She sent lots of pictures and some videos which brought us joy to see! Ciara was incredible when we did our meet & greet in person and she remembered all the little things that we mentioned to keep our babies happy while we were away. She gave them.treats, played with them each day, and set the timed feeder for their dinner each visit. Thank you so much Ciara! We will definitely rebook!! 10/10
Emily was wonderfully patient with our shy but sweet cat and quickly made him feel comfy enough to come out for cuddles and play time. Communicative and took the cutest pictures along with the updates. Next time we're out of town we'll definitely be booking again with Emily.
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!
Gabby was amazing! She met with me beforehand to have an initial meeting with my cat Muse to learn about her care and sent me many cute pictures of Muse while I was away! Definitely will be contacting Gabby again in the future when I need a sitter. Thank you Gabby!
