Ona stayed with our sweet but reactive dog while we were away on vacation for 5 days. It went great! We felt our dog was very well cared for. Ona was easy to communicate with and she went above and beyond with house/pet sitting duties. I hope she'll come back again!

Absolutely trust worthy companions caretaker & very fun house sitter. I was pleased to find my pups as happy as jumping beans and the house looked and seemingly smelled more homey upon return.

Natalie was great with our dogs while we were out of town. She even came back in the late evening to let them out one more time before we got home since she knew we’d be late. We would definitely have her back anytime. Thank you so much Natalie!

Paulina was a lifesaver for us and was able to accommodate a very short request period and provided excellent care. She continually reached out to us with pictures and videos of our puppy and let us know how the day was going. She had very appropriate questions regarding his care and completed all of our requests without issue. We're very lucky to have found her and appreciate the work she does!

I can’t say enough great things about Camille! From the moment we met, it was clear how much she genuinely cares about animals. She gave lots of love, attention, and playtime—and kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Camille is reliable, kind, and professional—we will absolutely be booking again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for top-notch care. ★★★★★

Kevan was really great with our boy Ruckus, who can sometimes be a handful! Kevon was very communicative and kept us updated on everything. He was also able to sit for us last minute and responded quickly to our request. We've already booked him again for an upcoming trip. It's great to know our fur baby is in good hands!

David is the first sitter we have used on Rover for our dogs and cat, while we were away for the weekend. He is phenomenal; our nervous pups took to him immediately and I got pics of relaxed, cuddling dogs - and our GSD is not typically a cuddler so this was even more remarkable. All the pets were calm and happy when we came home. He took great care of our home as well. We will definitely rebook! We are very happy with his care.

Working with Natania for looking after our dogs and cats has been really smooth. We have four senior animals, each with a particular wrinkle to caring for them, and Natania was super open to their needs. She obviously cares deeply for animals and is a very conscientious caretaker. We are very confident working with her again!

About: I worked for a veterinarian throughout high school, undergrad and grad school. Had cats of my own (not currently). Have watched friends dogs over the years. I'm a hiker, so I walk often. I have the summers off. Able to watch/walk/visit your pets most weekends throughout the year. I can walk/play with your dog as early as 4 pm during the week I have a 20 x 20 fenced in patio with pea gravel and acres of green space in my development. There is a high school across the street and I often hike in Webster parks.

Jess did a great job watching our dog Eudie for our wedding day and the morning after. She played with him, fed him, walked him and snuggled him. It was really helpful seeing all the updates and check ins from her too! Very communicative so we weren’t ever wondering how our boy was doing without us.

About: Hi, I'm Tom! I've spent over four decades living with and loving animals, and I've never lost that "avid" spark for a day spent with a dog. I'm an active person who genuinely enjoys being outdoors, so if your dog has energy to burn, they've met their match! I truly enjoy working with dogs of all shapes, sizes, and ages. Whether it's a slow, gentle stroll for a senior pup, a playful walk for a growing puppy, or a high-energy trek for a large breed, I adapt my pace to meet your dog's specific needs. While I love the little guys, I am also more than capable of handling "gentle giants" and strong pullers with confidence and care. I'm well-versed in using various walking gear, from standard leashes to front-clip harnesses, ensuring every dog stays safe and controlled regardless of their size. Whether it's a brisk neighborhood power-walk or exploring local trails like Durand Eastman or Lucien Morin Park (two of my dog's favorites), I tailor every outing to your dog's fitness level. I'm not just there to "do the job"—I'm there to make sure your pup gets the physical exercise and mental stimulation they need to be happy and tired by the time they get home. In my personal life, I am also a primary caregiver for my mother, who manages daily medical conditions. Because of this, staying on a strict schedule, managing precise routines, and being deeply observant is second nature to me. I bring that exact same level of patience, compassion, and structure to every animal under my supervision. I'm available every day from 11 am - 3 pm Dog walking: 30 or 60 minute neighborhood strolls. Drop in visits: Short check-ins for feeding, potty breaks, or playtime in client's home. Pet Taxi: Adventure Excursions: for trips to the groomer, vet, and daycare. Doggy Shuttle: Solo or group hikes and adventures at some of our fine local parks Senior and Medical Care: Medication administration (pills or injections) and gentle strolls with backup wagon assist if needed. Puppy specialized care: Frequent short visits tailored for training and socialization needs of dogs under one year old. No extra charge for basic feeding or oral medication administration... Safety is my top priority, and I take a proactive approach to ensure every pet in my care is secure and comfortable. With over 40 yrs experience, I've learned that anticipation is key especially with large breeds. I am always vigilant about my surroundings and focused entirely on your dog. Gear check: I perform a thorough check of all leashes, collars, and harnesses before every walk to ensure they are in perfect working order. On-leash Only: For maximum safety, I keep all dogs on leash during our outings, even in off-leash areas, unless we are in a 100% secure, fenced in yard. Environmental awareness: I avoid interactions with unfamiliar dogs or people on walks to prevent any unpredictable situations. I am also highly mindful of the weather, ensuring paws are protected from hot pavement and that pups stay hydrated. Home Security: When entering and exiting your home, I use extra caution to prevent "door dashing." I treat your home with the same respect and care I give my own. After our visit or walk, i take a moment to send you a detailed "Report Card." You'll get a summary of our route, their behavior, and-of course- at least 2-3 great action shots from our time together. I treat every schedule with the same reliability I'd want for my own pets. Rochester weather can be unpredictable! For the safety of your pet, I may shorten walks during extreme heat (90+) or dangerous wind chills. In these cases, we will spend the remaining time playing indoors or doing mental enrichment challenges, so they still get their energy out. Depending on your specific dog's tolerances and needs...

Edward did a great job for us. He and our dog Buddy got along famously, and he was especially diligent about keeping us informed about Buddy’s time with him. Edward stayed with Buddy for five days and kept us up-to-date throughout. Additionally, the house was left in perfect condition. We will certainly use Edward for our next trip away.

We could tell they were comfortable and well cared for while we were away. She also treated our home with so much respect and left everything clean and organized. It gave us real peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. We highly recommend Caitlyn to anyone looking for a trustworthy, responsible, and compassionate sitter through Rover!

Jess was wonderful! She made sure to come by the house to meet our boys before we confirmed booking. While Jasper, our anxious pup, refused to eat (normal for him when we are away, he lets anxiety take over) she made sure to double check with me before introducing peanut butter to coax him into eating more normally. She also sent plenty of photos and went above and beyond and was sweet enough to even bring our mail in! We would happily have her back to watch our boys! Thank you so much Jess!

Portia was the perfect person to house sit and take care of Tupper while we were on our honeymoon. From our first meeting with Portia, we had zero concerns about leaving him with a near stranger for 10 days. Portia communicated efficiently and regularly, she met every expectation we had and we came back to a well taken care of boy. We would recommend Portia to anyone and look forward to working with her again!

Addison cared for our dogs while we were away for a week. While our dogs aren’t hard, they can be needy and my senior boy has the start of doggy dementia which can make it hard. Addison was amazing! We knew from the moment we met her our dogs were in good hands. They all loved her and took to her instantly. Addison communicated and sent pictures throughout the time we were away and even asked how to help our old man through this hard transition. Nobody should hesitate to hire Addison. She’s great with all dogs and we came back to our house in top shape.
