About: I've been a dog owner and lover my whole life, and I've cared for dogs of all ages — from wiggly puppies to sweet senior babies who just need a little extra patience and TLC. I have hands-on experience with small breeds and understand that little dogs often have big personalities and specific needs. My home is calm, safe, and welcoming — no chaos, no stress. I've also cared for dogs with special needs, so I'm comfortable with medications, mobility issues, or anything that requires a little more attentiveness. When your dog is with me, they're not just being "watched" — they're being cared for like they belong here I work from home in a calm environment. I have two cats that are very well behaved and one dog who is a little crazy. She is deaf with some separation anxiety and OCD, but she is such a little sweetheart. I spend all day waiting on these guys hand and foot, what’s one or two more? 😊 My sweet, friendly dog will keep yours company all day long. I live on a cul-de-sac and we take several walks throughout the day.
About: I’ve had dogs in my home since I was a baby, so caring and loving animals has always been a big part of my life. I started dog walking and dog/house sitting at the age of 12, and have loved it ever since. I absolutely adore animals, especially dogs and cats, and I believe every pet owner deserves to leave the house feeling as though their pets are safe and cared for. I currently have a very flexible work schedule, which allows me to care for your pets whenever needed. I’m available for services any day of the week and am happy to work with you and your pet’s schedule to the best of my ability. Because I have a reactive dog at home, I am not able to host pets in my home. I prioritize the safety and comfort of your pets in their own environment, and I will always treat your home and property with respect, kindness, and care
“Chelsea is amazing!!!!! My little Boston terrier is a very anxious pup and I am always a bit nervous leaving her with people. She quickly became besties with Chelsea and I feel so as ease. Chelsea is so responsive and always accommodates my last minute needs- I can't even express how much of a relief she has brought to our lives!! Thank you Chelsea!!!!”
“Janyl went above and beyond to provide amazing care to my two cats while I was away for two weeks. I was nervous to leave them for this amount of time especially because one is elderly and has some health issues. Janyl immediately put me at ease during our initial meet and greet. She was very thorough, asked great questions, and was clearly very knowledgable. Janyl had great intuition when it came to the cats' temperaments. She checked in with me daily, sent lots of pictures, and gave me a detailed run down of what she and the cats did each day. She even clipped their nails during her visit and vacuumed. My home was neat and tidy when I returned from a long travel day (so nice). The cats seemed to be very comfortable with her and I was able to enjoy my time away knowing they were in such good hands. Thank you, Janyl!”
“Christopher was very professional. He took great care of my Kitty. He communicated with me regularly with updates , questions and photos. He did a great job. He played with her and gave her lots of attention.”
“Maria & my dog, Tank, got very close very quickly. We were pleasantly surprised with her efforts and continuous communication, and we’d definitely recommend her to a friend.”
“Andrew was absolutely fantastic! He took care of my Loki for 15 days and I couldn't have asked for better service. He was incredibly reliable and flexible, which made my trip so much less stressful. Amazing service – 5 stars!”
“Crystal was awesome! Helio is very shy and she was only able to see him when she came to get the key. So instead of play pictures Crystal took pictures of his food for us. I'm hoping after a few trips he will be curious enough to come out when he hears her. In time I'm sure they will be buddies ?”
“Nora did a fantastic job with my cat! On our first meeting with her we felt very comfortable. I was quite nervous about how my cat would be but she sent pictures and comments everyday to ease my mind. I would highly recommend Nora. She is so sweet with my pet and very reliable. I hope that she will be available in the future! Thanks Nora!”
About: Have taken care of over 75 families animals and would be happy to assist with any related type of help while you are away too! I have winter availability any Monday-Thursday. Every day before 9:30am and after 6:30pm in addition. Guaranteed peace of mind/satisfaction. Always feel free to contact me.

“Naomi did a great job with our three cats! She was thorough in completing all the tasks asked of her, and updated us on each of her visits so I was a little less anxious being away. I'd definitely hire her again!”
About: I would not be where I am today without the incredible impact animals have made on my life all throughout my years of living. I am a dedicated animal lover and give immense care and love to my furry friends. I have 3 furry friends of my own! I have a Bernedoodle named Samoa and she is the sweetest girl and loves everyone ☺️ I have 2 cats named Ollie and Maisie, they are bestfriends! Maisie is my fierce calico and Ollie is my handsome tuxedo boy. There has never been a time in my life where I did not own or care for animals. I look at them as my own children and would do absolutely anything necessary to make sure they go through life happy 🫶🏼 I am a full time pharmacy technician, my work schedule is pretty flexible, but I am mostly free on the weekends. I include pet care into my routine before my scheduled shift on days that I do work, and after work. There are days that I do have off. I care for my pets and other people’s pets in the best way possibly. I will provide lots of love with pets, scratches, toy playing, running, and everything else in between. Whatever your furry friend is okay with, I’m okay with too!
About: I started pet sitting for neighbors when I was 16 years old and have been pet sitting for over 10 years! I was raised with every animal under the sun and have so much empathy and love when it comes to animals. I had an active profile on Rover for several years and am now getting back on to reconnect with past clients and make new connections! I love staying in communication and sending photos of your pets to give you that peace of mind. It’s my goal to make sure you’re 100% confident and comfortable and know your pets are in the best hands. ❤️ I work full time but I am available in the evenings and weekends for walks and drop in visits. I am also available for house sitting and staying with your pets and making sure they get all of their care before and after my day job. I like to make sure my clients provide me with any and all information regarding the care of their pets. I will make sure to come in and do exactly as instructed to ensure my client, the pets, and myself are all well informed and comfortable.
About: I have been a pet care provider for 16 years. I love all dogs and enjoy being with them. I am good with puppies and training. I received my certificate as end of life pet doula in 2024. I adore the senior dogs. The only type of work I do involves pet care. I can come to your home and take care of your fur babies. I love them all! I will take the best care of your dogs and see that they are always loved and feel safe with me. I strive to make this an enjoyable experience for them and me!
About: I don't remember a time when I haven't had an animal in my life! I grew up with both cats and dogs and enjoy taking care of both! Family members, neighbors, and friends have had me watch their pets of all ages and breeds from puppies to senior dogs and yorkipoos to labs! My favorite breeds are golden retrievers and black cats! I love playing with pets and giving them the love and attention they deserve! I recently moved back home to the Syracuse area and looking to spend some time with pets in my free time while I'm searching through the job market! Happy to come to you and your pet to give them the care they need! All I need is clear instructions to provide care and I’ll be excited to shower your pet with attention and affection!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Kirkville stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Kirkville choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Kirkville with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
