About: I have been taking care of my neighbors, family, friends, and my own dog/pets for 10 years including walks, feeding, watching, and helping train. I have experience with puppies and older dogs as well as injured or sick dogs. I am currently in a local college for health care. I am free all day Saturday-Monday and after 3 Tuesday-Friday. I have transportation and can drive a reasonable distance. I would follow any rules you have set for your dog (ex. food allowed, walking requirements, type of leash/collar for walks, and if they need to be crated or not) I would be able and willing to provide any medical care needed as long as I am shown how to correctly.
“Sydney is the best! She is extremely helpful, professional and attentive to my dog's needs. She is always on time and thorough with her visits. Couldn't ask for a better sitter!”
“Pam is a very good doggie day care provider. I felt instantly comfortable with her and I could tell with her interactions with my dogs that she truly loves animals. She was with my dogs the whole visit and sent me pictures of them. So good to find a person like Pam when you need help with your fur babies.”
About: New to Rover! Intro rates through August while I build reviews — message me with questions! I treat every dog like my own and specialize in calm, loving care for all ages and energy levels. I provide trustworthy, compassionate, and reliable care tailored to your pet’s unique needs and personality. Pet care is an important part of my daily and weekly routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and providing each pet with personalized love and attention to keep them happy and healthy. I prioritize a safe, trusting environment where pets feel comfortable and secure. I create calm spaces, supervise closely, and build strong bonds based on respect and gentle care every visit.
About: I had a deaf dog for two years in college and have experience caring for my family's dogs, including walking, bathing, and feeding. I have cat/house sat for weekends and dog sat for weeks at a time with twice-daily visits. I work from home 50% of the time (usually Wednesdays, Fridays, and every other Monday) and can stop by for pet walks, visits, and care while I’m home. I am around most weekends. I will provide individualized care for dogs on walks and in their homes, including careful walks and wellness checks after each. I love playing with cats and dogs, so I will keep them entertained!
“Lindsay was amazing with the care for my dog while I traveled abroad . She kept me updated and sent pictures. This is the first time I left him for longer then 3 days and she made sure he was happy and safe.”
About: I have previously worked at a cat shelter (approx 250-300 cats), I have been a cat owner consistently for 21 years, I have sat a “zoo” before ~ dogs, cats, birds, a frog, fish, etc. I love to spend quality time with pets, not just a quick 5 minute drop in. I will happily rub their belly on top of feeding them. I have never, ever met a cat that didn’t like me! Typically the complete opposite & they end up adoring me. 😅 I work full time during the day til 5:00 and am remote 3 days a week (mon, tues, fri), with a compressed workweek that makes it possible to have every other Friday off. M-F I could do an evening visit only, and on days off (every other Friday or weekends) I could do one visit in the morning & one in the evening. Thanks to summer hours at my FT job I am available after 1pm every Thursday through August 28th. My cats are spoiled ~ there’s 2 litter boxes, 2 wet food dishes, 2 areas with dry crunchy food, and a water fountain. They get Churu’s or treats every once in awhile. I keep the floors clean so they don’t find some random thing to chew on. So needless to say I would treat your cat like royalty pretty much. 😊

I’ll provide plenty of attention, affection, and keep your pet comfortable and safe while you’re away.

Guilderland pet parents share their Rover experiences
We needed a dog sitter on very short notice as my partner unexpectedly needed to attend a business trip with me. Samantha was able to help us out, and took excellent care of Hazel for us! She sent tons of photos and detailed updates, and was very communicative the entire time. We highly recommend Samantha, and look forward to working with her again!
I couldn’t be happier with the care that Pamela provided for my dog while I was away. She was punctual, communicative, and sent regular updates and photos, which gave me great peace of mind. My dog looked great when I returned. I especially appreciated the attention to my older dogs’ needs. She went above and beyond to keep my dog happy. I highly recommend Pamela to anyone who wants a caring and responsible pet sitter!
I really appreciate how well he took care of my dogs. He listed to all of my instructions and was a great person to interact with.
Stacie was awesome, and took incredible care of my cat while I was away! She ensured Nala received her food and medication on time and spent time with her each day.
