“Beth was fantastic. Sent great updates (even when my cat was being skittish) and made last minute extra drop ins for my cat when we got delayed getting home. Very friendly and communicative.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats for 15+ years, from playful Lab puppies to senior rescues needing medication and mobility help. Growing up on a small hobby farm, I learned early how to read animal body language and keep routines calm and safe. Today I share life with my own Labrador, so I understand how much trust it takes to leave your fur‑kid with someone new. I offer daily photo updates, walks, and custom playtimes—whether that’s a pond‑side swim, a gentle neighborhood stroll, or indoor enrichment games on rainy days. I’m comfortable with crate training, basic obedience, and administering oral or topical meds. Your pet’s happiness and your peace of mind are my top priorities. I work for a school, so I’m out at 2:30 every day and have summers off. I also have scheduled school breaks, which gives me extra flexibility. I treat every home and pet with the same care and respect I’d want for my own. I’ll always follow your instructions closely—whether it’s locking up, feeding routines, giving medications, or keeping your dog on their usual walking route. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and happy to send photo updates so you can feel confident your pet is safe and happy while you’re away.
“Naomi did a wonderful job taking care of our two cats, fed them and cleaned the litter boxes. She kept in contact and updated us with pictures, we will definitely ask her to take care of the cats again!”
“Elizabeth was fantastic with our dogs! She was reliable, communicative, and clearly loves animals. We returned from our trip and found our animals were happy and well cared for. Elizabeth went above and beyond and made sure our dogs had comfort during fireworks which typically cause them to have high anxiety. I’ll definitely book with them again!”
“Thank you so much for caring for our baby boy while we are gone. We have such peace of mind knowing you are visiting him each day and we love our photos we get. Again, thank you!!!”
“Mary was amazing! She was professional, accommodating, and thorough. She was patient and thoughtful about addressing each my pets’ needs. Mary was clearly experienced in dealing with dogs with shy/fearful personalities and did really well with my dog (a rescue) who can be challenging to dog-sit. She was incredibly kind and treated my pets as if they were her own. I felt so comfortable leaving my pets in her care, which gave me such peace of mind while I was away. I couldn’t have been happier with the pet care service that Mary provided! Thank you so much! Highly recommend!”
“Emma was extremely reliable and communicative. She let Leo express his needs (play, cuddling, chilling) and gave him the attention and time he needed. Her updates and pics let me know my cat was in good hands. I would highly recommend Emma for your cat sitting needs!”
“Venita was so amazing! She did a drop in and my pup was sick. She cleaned up his crate and played with him. She communicated well throughout everything. She even stayed later when asked, which I appreciated immensely! She sent photos of my pup as well, which was great. Will definitely book her again.”
“Candyse was such an amazing help over the holidays while we were traveling. She checked on our cat while we were away and gave great updates on him each time, even sending us photos each time. She went above and beyond in helping us out. I would highly recommend Candyse to watch your pet.”
About: I've loved and cared for dogs and cats since I was a child. I now work remotely, so I can be quite flexible in terms of care and stays. While I live in Homer, NY, I currently work remotely. My schedule is extremely flexible, even with short notice. And I love pets of all types of sizes. While I do not currently have pets of my own, I lived as both a kid and adult with both dogs and cats. I'll keep them safe and shower them with love!
“Aubree was great and showed up on time both days! She sent us pictures of our cat Teddy and he looked super happy. When we got home he had a full food dish and water so she is very responsible! Would definitely recommend her for drop ins with cats!”
“Gabriela was absolutely wonderful when visiting my cat Mittens for a week when I was on vacation. She was punctual, communicative, and left me with lovely pictures and written updates about my fluffy man every day I was gone. I would highly recommend her for anything you may need here on Rover!”
“Chantal was easy to get a hold of and provided feedback every time she visited. My cats and fish were all happy and healthy when I returned home from my week long trip.”
About: I’ve taken care of our family dogs, cats and chickens for over 20 years. Our animals are a part of our family and are treated as such! Good exercise, healthy food and regular grooming are essential to taking good care of our pets! Although I am a full time teacher, our dogs are walked twice daily. Our dogs are brushed out daily to maintain their coat. I ensure that our animals receive the care and attention needed to feel loved by and connected to us. Our dogs have a fenced in back yard for fetch and a nice neighborhood/pond area for walks. I will take good care of your animals by ensuring good exercise and care taking.
About: I have had two dogs my whole life and I am in college, which means I’m dogless. I’ve taken care of my dogs since I was old enough to hold them, sick or just in need of exercise. With COVID my class schedule is easy but 3-6:30 is hard due to my practices. Other than my practice I am rather flexible in my schedule. I’m a total dog person and I am patient with animals. As far as COVID I get tested about twice a week from my school.
About: Hi! I have taken care of my friend’s dogs for 8 years, while they’re out of town or just at work, from puppies to adults, and it’s a lot of fun! I work full time with a food delivery service, but I’m all over town all day and can be super flexible on when I need to take breaks As far as safety goes, I always walk dogs on a leash, and treat them with the same love and care as if they’re my own. I am happy to follow care instructions for any clients
“I couldn't ask for anything better. Lindsay is simply fantastic. She was exceptional caring and loving with my cats, while extremely respectful when doing her tasks at my home. She went above and beyond my expectations.”
“I was curious when Jacob would come so I peaked on my doggy cam. It just happens when I did he was entering my place. I must say, for a first time coming in and gaining my dogs trust, Jacob was the sweetest. Very patient and I could easily see he is extremely familiar with dogs and this situation. After seeing the first encounter I knew my pup was in great care! I highly recommend Jacob ?.”
“Sarah was great! She was very caring with my cats and followed all instructions while visiting them. She's very reliable and professional. I will definitely having her caring for my cats in the future.”

Aaron F.
“Aaron is one of the most kind, gentle souls I’ve ever met. I’ve known him for over 22 years, and I can confidently say there are few in this world I trust more than him. Every animal I’ve ever seen him with, including my own dog, is both safe and loved in his presence. I never let anyone other than my mother watch my dog, but if I needed to, I’d hand her to him without a second thought. He’s trustworthy and dependable in ways most could never achieve. I couldn’t possibly recommend him more to care for anyone’s pets. He is a diamond in the rough, and your pets will always be in great hands.”
