“Jessica has been an incredible dog sitter for my pit bull, Roxanne. Every day, Roxanne jumps with joy and eagerly waits for Jessica to arrive. It’s clear that Jessica takes great care of her, providing not just the essentials but also lots of love and attention. I couldn’t ask for a better person to look after my furry friend. Highly recommend her services!”
“Kate was very professional and did a fantastic job with our anxious dog. She showed up right on time for multiple visits and took our dog on a nice walk. She made sure he was appropriately fed and taken care of. We'll be asking her to watch our dog again!”
“Andrea was super kind and communicative, and really patient with our relatively high energy/touch sensitive dog. I really appreciated her taking the time to let me explain her care during our M&G. She sent pictures regularly and played Mizzy's favorite games with her! I'd absolutely book with Andrea again :)”
“Ariana truly went above and beyond for Leo! She was incredibly attentive to his needs and kept us updated throughout the weekend. I felt completely at ease knowing she was checking in on our cat. We will definitely be rebooking with her in the future!”
“Elizabeth did an incredible job watching over our 2 senior cats! She’s was kind, responsive and provided my husband and I with a wonderful sense of safety for our fur babies. I highly recommend her!”
“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: 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.
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 :)
“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!”
“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!!!!”
“Claudia was very communicative and easy to work with. We have a last minute trip out of town and she was super willing and flexible when we needed a sitter for our cat. Definitely will be using her again!”
“Madeline is our go to pet sitter!! Our cat can sometimes be easily spooked, and Madeline is so caring and gentle with her-allowing our cat to warm up to her in her own time :) Madeline is thorough, reliable, and kind!”

Grider pet parents share their Rover experiences
Tara is the absolute best and I will never go to anyone else. She takes such good care of my fuzzy duo and they love her to bits. She always let's us know if something seems off and is the first to act on it! I can leave the state with peace for vacations and family emergencies when Tara is around to check in on the huskies
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.
Lydia was great with my 2 cats. She kept in constant communication with me and made sure I was always in the loop if she had to come a little later than expected. I was nervous leaving my cats with someone else, but they really seemed to like her! Highly recommend- she really does an amazing job.
I requested Marine to check in on my two cats while I was away on vacation, and I couldn't be happier with her service! From start to finish, the communication was excellent, giving me peace of mind knowing my fur-babes were in great hands. She not only made sure they were well-fed but also took the time to play with them and give cuddles, keeping them happy and entertained. I received regular updates, including multiple photos on each visit! It's clear she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. I will definitely be requesting her again! Highly recommended!
