“We had a very last minute trip that Nina was amazing in accommodating! She is so sweet and communicative, always making sure we knew our dog was safe and having fun while we were gone. We will definitely be booking with her again!”

Kristin K.

“So responsive, knew how to work with a dog that is needy! Sent tons of pictures, since I was nervous leaving him. He loved her from the start, she has a great vibe that dogs can read. Very impressed, definitely will hire again!”

Mackenzie E.

“Cari was great with both of our dogs. She was patient with our larger dog who is very timid. We appreciated her kindness and patience with the dogs. Would recommend and will book again!”

Kelsey W.

“Ryan was absolutely AMAZING, and I am so happy we found him! He kept us updated the entire time we were away, and allowed us to fully enjoy our vacation knowing our boy was in good hands. Every video he sent us was our dog crying because he was so happy to be around him. We will absolutely be using him for future get aways and cannot rave about him enough. I am so happy we found out go to person for get aways and I know our dog is obsessed with him and would love for him to stay again. I cannot thank you enough for taking great care of Denver while we were away! We will speak to you soon when we get another trip planned and I am sure Denver will be overjoyed to see you again! 🙂”

“Mickey took excellent care of my older pup. She kept me well informed and sent lots of pictures. I came home to a happy and healthy pet. I would highly recommend Mickey and will definitely use her again in the future.”

Heather E.

“We can’t say enough great things about Jason and the wonderful care he provided for our energetic 3 year-old pittie. Jason is extremely professional and responsive, and he took excellent care of Leo (and our home) during his stay. He provided frequent updates and pictures, which we really appreciated. We felt all the more comfortable leaving Leo in Jason’s given his medical training and his obvious love of dogs. We look forward to booking with Jason again soon!”

About: I have been taking care of animals for as long as I can remember and have been pet-sitting since age 10 for family, friends, and neighbors. I have almost always lived with at least one cat or dog (or both!) throughout my life. I also have experience caring for rabbits, ferrets, gerbils, fish, parakeets, bearded dragons, and cockatiels. I currently live with two indoor tortoiseshell cats who are comfortable with dogs, and one of my cats is leash-trained. I have raised and trained at least 11 dogs from puppies to adulthood (3 as my own and the others for my parents). Most of my cats I adopted as teenagers, but I have raised a few kittens from a young age. I have done extensive dog training with the 3 dogs I raised as my own in the past, and I am familiar with both dog and cat training techniques. I live in a cabin the woods in Boston, NY, on a power line gravel road. Although I do not have a fenced in back yard, your dog will enjoy going on leashed walks down the power line road multiple times per day! I earn a living through a mix of substitute teaching (summer starts June 25th!), remote research and writing gigs, tutoring, child care, and pet care. I have a flexible schedule and incorporate pet care into the mix as much as possible because I love animals. If I am boarding a dog at my home, I will not be house sitting at that time (and vice versa). While boarding or house sitting, I will consider dog walking and drop-ins depending on the needs of the client and driving distance. If you board your dog at my home, my cats and I wake up early (about 6am) and I like to go outside for a walk down the power line road right away, and then eat breakfast. Your dog will be able to spend time with me all day (on a leash when we are outside), and if I need to leave my house, they will be in their crate for no more than 4 hours (2 is my strong preference). We will go for at least one more walk before dinner, too. I will be sure to give them plenty of play time and exercise throughout the day (depending on their level of activity and how hot it is outside). No matter what, they will get a lot of love and attention! I live in a cabin in the woods in the Town of Boston, NY, so although I do not have a fenced-in yard, there is very little traffic or people around. I will be able to go on long leashed walks with your dog down the power line for exercise, and there are a few friendly neighbor dogs that would love to say hello if your dog is up for that. I do live with two cats: one of them will hide a lot while your dog is here, but the other is very dog-friendly and will want to interact with your dog. I will monitor and separate them as needed (I have a spare room). I have always crate-trained my dogs and so long as your dog is comfortable in their crate, I will use it as a safe place for them to be while they are staying with me.

About: I was raised on a small family farm, and have cared for goats, chickens, ducks, pigs, and more while a part of that. As a child and teenager, I trained dogs through my local 4-H program, and later on started petsitting for family friends. I've cared for puppies, senior dogs, cats, chickens, cows, pigs, goats, turtles, geese, canaries, ducks, and so many others, and I'm always willing to learn something new! I work full-time, night shifts during the week and mornings on weekends, but I'm typically only gone 8 hours max, so there's still plenty of time for me to provide plenty of care and attention to the pets! I typically stay overnight, and will either crate the pets if needed, or let them sleep with me, I wake up with them and spend my day hanging out with them, playing or just relaxing. I do my best to care for each pet as their owner would, to help minimize stress.

“If we could give more than 5 stars, there’d be no hesitation. She goes “above and beyond” and that alone is such an understatement! Not only does she provide constant updates, pictures, and feedback, but her background knowledge in the veterinary animal-care field is an added bonus that I believe EVERYONE will benefit from. We were skeptical at first with using Rover to watch our 3 dogs, as we’ve never had anyone pet-sit for us before. Not anymore. Bri provided excellent communication skills, displayed confidence and proved it very effectively. Thank you again for everything you did for us while we gone. We truly appreciate you!!!”

“Alyssa went above and beyond! Alyssa was great and was in contact when our one dog had an upset tummy. Took such great care of the boys and had the house looking better than when we left it. Will definitely book with Alyssa again!”

Jordan R.

“Mary was wonderful! Even though she was just stopping in she sent us so many updates and pictures! Archie doesn’t always warm up to strangers easily but within that short time they were snuggling and playing! We couldn’t have been happier! I would recommend her to anyone!”

“Judith made fast friends with our pups and I felt incredibly comfortable with my pups having her as company. She gave them plenty of attention and stuck to their schedule very well. She also provided consistent updates with pictures and videos which helped our peace of mind. The house was left in excellent condition after she left, and she even cleaned a bit. Judith was a fantastic sitting and I would recommend her. We're very thankful.”

About: Hi! My name is Sophia and I have a lot of experience with dogs and other pets. I own a 9 year old golden retriever and 3 cats. I have pet sit in my neighborhood plenty of times for families needing last minute assistance! Let me assist you with your pet needs! I’m currently on my summer break from college! I am in the Orchard Park/Buffalo area. I’m looking for some extra side hustles while taking online courses :) With my own dog, I take him on many walks since he recently had a surgery. More walks are crucial for his recovery! I feed him 3-4 times a day depending on how hungry he is. Water bowl is never empty.

About: My mother had a boarding company so I spent a lot of my childhood helping care for all the doggos. I have also volunteered at numerous shelters & farm sanctuaries & have helped care for even more than just cats & dogs. I also have an 8 year old chocolate lab & 2 five year old kitties myself that I love & care for every day. I am currently working part time, with availability anytime after 4 pm Monday through Thursday! In the next 3 weeks my availability will open up a little bit more! I was raised around both cats & dogs & have a very good understanding of how to read both animals. I have a very soft calm aura as well as a lot of love & patience to build trust with the fur babies.

“WOW.. I don't know where to start. Ann is a genuinely hearted animal lover. Educated, Experienced and Everything a fur mom is looking for when needing pet care. Communication with Ann was effortless and she responded instantly. My fur babies really took to her and I as well. I just can't say enough and I hope that Ann will always be available whenever I go out of town. Definitely will have her over and over again!!”

“Katelyn has stayed with our English bulldog Ozzy several times and she is fantastic! Our initial meet and greet was very detailed and made me feel very comfortable leaving my dog in her care. She not only takes great care of Ozzy, but she sends lots of updates and makes sure your house is nice & tidy after her stay. Highly recommend Katelyn.”

Sydney P.

“I was nervous using a new person from Rover after moving here and losing my old dog sitter. Jessica did great. She kept in touch with me as I am a crazy dog owner who has a boujee princess cockapoo whom I love like my child. Sent me a lot of pics too. Marlee loves her immediately. Will use again ?”

About: Hello! I’m Claudia Giallella and I’ve always loved caring for animals. In recent years, I have played and cared for chickens, bunnies, cats, and dogs. I love to send pictures and videos of your pets to show they are having fun and are happy while you are away! Caring for animals has always brought me so much joy and I love to meet new families that are in need for short or long term care for their pets! I am currently working part time at a hair salon, but am mainly focused on pet care. In my daily schedule I have plenty of time to do multiple stops a day to care and play with your pet(s)! I follow the instructions given and make sure I know exactly how you want your pet cared for. In addition to caring for your pet, I make sure the environment is tidy and clean prior to leaving each time.

“Elizabeth is great! Punctual, neat and follows all specifics. Baxter definitely looks forward to her visits and is pooped when she leaves ☺️”

“Haley is a wonderful person and an excellent caretaker for our dogs! She is very prompt, thorough, helpful, understanding, and shows a lot of flexibility. We knew when we left for a week that our dogs would be well cared for and loved by her. Hands down we would 1000% book her again!”
