Angie was great. She took wonderful care of our two senior kitties! Such a relief to know that they are well taken care of while we are gone.

Gretchen was great with my girls! She was on time for her drop-ins and stayed to play with them the whole time. She did a meeting with me to meet the girls before she came to watch them which was great! She strove to understand what I needed from her and what the girls needed with their behavioral issues! Very professional and kind!

About: I've loved caring for pets for family and friends over the years. Moved away from home so looking to keep that same experience around here. I'm generally off on Sundays and Mondays for work, and live close enough for potty breaks and I make my own schedule if enough notice is given. I have a fenced in yard which has been home to dogs the size of a Great Pyrenees down to a Yorkshire Terrier before. The home is large enough for multiple pets to have their space.

About: I grew up on a farm and have been around all sorts of animals. I have experience with all types of dogs, from Great Danes to Chihuahuas. Neighbors, friends, and family have previously relied on me to house sit and care for their pet(s) while they’re away. I’m currently working part time, so I have lots of free time to care for your pet(s). Even on days I work, I can do potty breaks before and after. I rely on what the client tells/gives me. I like to keep animals in their own home so they can feel comfortable and not anxious with another person and at another home. It’s good to keep one of those neutral.

Cassandra did an amazing job taking care of my 3 cats. She was very quick to respond if i had any question or concerns and showed real genuine care for my animals. She was my first sitter on Rover so i was kind of nervous about the whole process but she really made everything very easy and i was able to focus on my vacation and what i needed to get done.

This was my first time ever using Rover and Samantha made everything so comfortable & smooth! My boys adored her. I knew based off of our initial meet & greet & her daily pictures my boys were safe & well taken care of! Lots of pictures of my boys snuggled right up with her, soaking it all in! She treated my home like her own. Couldn’t have asked for anything better!

About: I have always lived in a home full of cats, dogs, hamsters and guinea pigs. Since I was old enough to stay home by myself, I was old enough for pet duty. This year my two childhood dogs passed away so I would love to enjoy the love and warmth that other peoples pets bring. Aside from teaching, I have also nannied therefore i used to working with others schedules/rules and expectations. I am a teacher at Schuyler Head Start. Being employed in education gives me the luxury of having summers off so I have loads of free time to spend with your pets! I live in a pet friendly apartment complex, with a spacious two bedroom apartment. I will be able to walk dogs at least four times daily and have a spot for a litter box. I have my own puppy pads and doggy bags in case of accidents or pups in training.

Valkyrie enjoyed her time, Mika didn't have to take the garbage of cat litter out to the trashcan and she went above and beyond. Will be using her again when I go out of town for long times!!

Staci took very good care of my two cats. We had her do two visits a day and she was very prompt and you could almost set your watch by her. She followed the feed and care instructions to the letter and even went above and beyond to make sure Oliver, who has CKD, was comfortable. I would recommend Staci if you're looking for a good reliable pet sitter.

About: I’ve pet sat for family members but I’ve also and still currently pet sit for previous teachers. I’ve done an internship at a vet clinic. I completed boces which made me a certified veterinary assistant. I worked at the SPCA while finishing up college. Volunteered at Tanglewood Nature Center. Depending on my work schedule I spend as much time as possible outside of work with your pets. I don’t leave them alone for long at all. I’m easy going, my dog gets crated when I’m not home. I will make sure nothing is sitting out that could potentially harm an animal

About: I am looking to be a cat sitter, feeding and caring for your cat while you are away. I understand how important it is to have good pet care (I have 3 rescued cats) when you are away and would like to provide that for you to ease your mind while you are away. I am available daily morning and evenings to feed and play with your cats. I have a very flexible schedule to accommodate your pet's needs. I am able to feed wet and dry food, change water bowls, clean cat litters, brush them and play with them in your home and make them feel loved while you are away.

Laura was great! We gave her the flexibility of coming whenever she wanted, and she consistently came right after dinner, to give the kitties some regularity.

Amanda took care of my cat dropping by once a day for a week. My cat seem in a great shape and I believe Amanda did a great job. She provided timely updates and was able to socialize and earn the trust of my otherwise shy cat.

About: I have had dogs and one cat since I was a child up until about a year ago. I trained and socialized my dogs so they were always people, child and pet friendly. I am patient and I will understand they will be stressed when their family is not with them. I love walking dogs, playing whatever games they enjoy or just spending time with them for comfort. I work from home full-time and have a flexible schedule during the week and weekends. My work week is normally done by noon on Thurs., so I have long weekend availability. I would treat your pet as I would my own. Give extra attention as we know animals miss their family. I will provide in home care so your pets are more comfortable when you are away.

Ellie was wonderful, responsible, and kind to my cats. She did a great job following their needs, and I even noticed Seraphina ate very well for her! She really likes her new friend! Ellie is the kind of cat sitter I have been looking for for years.
