“Maia has been our dog sitter for quite some time now. She is always on time and has adapted well to our crazy pup. He is just so happy to see her! Maia is a lovely young lady, kind and gentle. So glad she is with us.”


“Marti is fantastic! We had a meet and greet couple of weeks ago. That sealed the deal for me. She had a calming effect on my 16 month old Maltipoo. Missy snuggled up to Marti and trusted her. Marti offered to drive me and pick me up from my eye doctor appointment . It worked out great. Missy was such a good girl riding in Marti’s car. Very pleasant, stress free experience for us. Marti is a kind, smart lady. Her past experience is evident. She will watch Missy again in December at my house for a weekend. So happy to have found Marti.”


“This was our second time with Jackie and it went great! She sent daily updates, which were much appreciated. Jackie also took really great care of my home and left things very clean and tidy!”


“Samara did a great job! Our dog is anxious and has her quirks and Samara took it all into consideration when watching her. For some reason our dog was even more anxious than usual this time and Samara was very patient and allowed for her to warm up to her on her own time which we appreciated greatly! We would highly recommend!”


“Haley is hands down, the absolute best, end of story! Our rescue pittie has been with us for about 8 months now and he's come a long way so we decided to see if we could entertain the idea of traveling a bit but know he was in the best care. Haley house sit for us as a trial overnight and our dog immediately took to her calm approach, energy and the care she took while initially meeting him and then as she house sit for us. Her attention to detail, not only to our care guide we put together and her own expertise, but the frequency she communicates, as well as the respect she has for our house and belongings, put us at ease we made the right decision. Can't recommend Haley enough and we are so thankful (and lucky) she is here for Rueben!”


About: Hi, I’m Sabrina and I am 30 years old based in Williamsville, NY! While I am new to Rover, I am not new to pet sitting :) We always had at least one dog in the house as I was growing up, and I’ve lived with dogs of all sizes, from chihuahuas and pomeranians to goldens and labs. Family and friends have trusted me to watch their pets since I was 16. I walk them, play with them, make sure they have food and water. I’ve bathed them and given them medicine. Often I’m staying over for days at a time, but I’m also happy to pop in and out when needed. I recently returned from living abroad and am taking some time before looking for full time work again, so I have a lot of flexibility to provide services as needed, any time of day, any day of the week :) I treat every pet I meet as if they were my own, giving them lots of love and meeting them where they’re at - whether that is with exercise, playtime, cuddling or simply existing near them so they aren’t alone. I love sharing update pics with owners when requested. Your pet’s schedule becomes my schedule, not the other way around. It’s important to me they maintain their routines and I’m always happy to oblige.

“Samara had no issue working with Georgia during her hyper time of day. She corrected her behavior and informed us what worked for her, as we were open for ideas. We look forward to being able to watch the bond grow between the two of them when she is needed from time to time. She also included updates with pictures which was a huge plus for us.”


“We entrusted our beloved furry friend to Rave’s care for six nights while we were away on our summer vacation—and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. Rave was incredibly easy to communicate with and kept us updated every day with thoughtful messages and adorable photos of our pup. It gave us such peace of mind knowing our buddy was not only well looked after but genuinely happy and comfortable. We truly appreciate the care and attention Rave provided and wouldn’t hesitate to book again!”


“Ciara was a fantastic dog sitter!! She stayed overnight for a couple days with my two dogs and she kept me very updated (with pictures) the whole time we were gone which was great! I would definitely recommend!!”


“Forest is a great sitter for our pets. We were fostering a dog last minute and Forest was able to take that on unexpectedly. He was super patient with a dog that was totally new to us and pretty fearful. He sends lots of updates and pictures. We appreciated his help tons!”

“Katie was amazing! She watched my dog, Molly, for the day. Katie was very accommodating to my schedule, communicated effectively and most importantly kept Molly happy and safe! I would highly recommend her to anyone.”


“Bear loved spending time with Christina! Lots of walks, playtime, and cuddles! We greatly appreciated the updates and pictures she provided while we were away as it gave us peace of mind! She also took great care of the house. We are hoping to book with Christina again!”


“Amy was great! So chill and easy going. Our German Shepherd and Shihtzu have occasional squabbles and it was so great knowing they were safety under Amy’s care. She stayed the night with them— didn’t mind them hogging her space or all the shep hair and she left our house like she wasn’t even staying here. Thank you, Amy!”


“Miranda was wonderful. She clarified anything she wasn’t sure of immediately and sent us pics throughout the week- just enough to keep us informed but not too many to have us focused on back home. House was as clean as we left it, and our animals were happy and healthy. Will use her again!”


About: I have had and taken care of dogs since a very young age. I have always taken pride to help care for dogs. Even with special abilities or medical problems. My dog Luna was Diagnosed with Epilepsy. So I am experienced and know what to do it high risk situations I work a full time job Monday through Friday from 8:30-5. I am free anytime after 5pm during the week. I am unable to do weekends or stay over nights. So if your looking for a 4-5 hour sitter. I'm your person! I will not be able to take your dog to my house. I can crate, walk, watch, or anything you would like me to do.

About: I have always had a dog as a pet and the dogs who have passed are still very much alive in my memories. They are an invaluable dispensary of love. I currently have 2 dogs of various ages that love attention and love their daily walks. Food, Snacks, Walks, Snuggles, what can be better? I have flexible hours and can work with your schedule. Contact me for details at anytime Boarding is always a great option. I am a school teacher during the year and am off in the summers. That currently means lots of attention and flexible outside time for your pets. :) I have a fenced yard with lots of space. My dogs love to run in the yard and play. I have big water bowls for the dogs to be able to stay hydrated and plenty of snacks available at the owners requests. I also have 3 different dog beds around the house that the dogs can lay in at their own convenience and comfort. During the school year I am a teacher. Until September I am taking time off to give my family and my dogs the extra time that they prefer. Currently our dogs go for about a 30-40 minute walk everyday. My son is 11 and is the main reason we had 4 dogs of our own at one time. He loves to spilling them with cuddles and run outside with them. I have a modest sized fenced in yard and currently two of my own lovable dogs. I always have dog food available and dog treats but am willing to follow any and all of the dog owners instructions. I also tend to use cleaning supplies that are non toxic, kid and pet friendly.

About: I am a medical student at UB, and I am passionate about providing quality care for anyone in need. I grew up around cats and dogs, so I understand the kindness and compassion they deserve. I have open availability which varies week by week due to school. Most evenings and weekends are free, and I will communicate to best fit your schedule! Respecting owner's and pet's needs is important. My cats are back home while I'm at school, but I know that each pet may need specialized care. I am happy to work with you to make sure your home and pets are respected and cared for!
