Alyssa was so amazing with my fur babies. She sent daily photos and was extremely communicative. Also cleaned up behind them when they were being a bit naughty (knocked over plants lol) Ultimately, I came home to a clean litter box and extremely happy kittens. I am certain they will miss her and I intend to rebook with Alyssa in the future.

I’m so grateful for Erika ! They took my cat in last minute and treated him like their own. They kept me updated the entire stay with photos and messages, which really gave me peace of mind. I could tell my cat was well cared for and comfortable the whole time. Highly recommend!

About: Hi! I’m Katy! I am a veterinary assistant working at McClelland Small Animal Hospital, and I’m pet sitting not only due to my love of animals, but to use the extra funds to help pay for my dream wedding! I’ve had pets my entire life, and I’m so fortunate to be able to help care for others' pets every day. I will love and treat your critters like they are my own, as taking care of animals is truly my passion. I currently work full time at an animal hospital and own 3 dogs, 2 cats, a crab, and even a jumping spider, so pet care is truly second nature to me. When I’m entrusted in caring for your pet and your home, I will be there all night and in the morning before I head into work. I will check on them during my lunch hour so they can have a potty break, lunch (if needed), play time, cuddles, and plenty of attention, before I'm back with them right after my work day. I'm always incredibly respectful of my clients homes, ensuring things are just as neat and tidy (if not more so) than they were when I arrived. Mail will be brought in, trash taken out, and bed linens cleaned. You're on a vacation, why worry about cleaning up when you get home?! The animal hospital I work for has a boarding facility for dogs and cats. When I’m not caring for others pets at work, I’m tending to my menagerie at home! As the owner of pets who have trouble being removed from their “safe space,” you can rest easy knowing that your pets will receive plenty of love and care in the place they feel the most comfortable. During a meet and greet, I come prepared with an information sheet to fill out so that I can make sure I cater to each pets specific needs. Everything from feeding times, food sensitivities, and jotting down your pets favorite toys and activities!

About: I’ve had cats my whole life so those are what I’m most comfortable with, however I have a lot of experience with dogs as well. Many of my family members have dogs that I’ve taken care of when they go away on trips. I’ve cared for senior dogs for friends in the past and have a special place in my heart for them. Particularly, I have experience caring for senior dogs who are blind and deaf who need special accomodations. I currently work from home 3 days a week so I have plenty of opportunities to take care of your pets within my current schedule. I’m not able to care for your pets in my home, however I’m able to come over as much as necessary to care for your pets.

Ciara was so great with our girls. Both my cats came right up to her and she was so friendly and so communicative throughout the whole process. This is our first experience using rover and we are very excited for a dependable and kind sitter for our kitties. 10/10 - highly recommended!

About: Thank you so much for considering me to care for your furry family members! I’m a proud dog mom to three pups (one of whom is blind and another is a senior). And also a cat mom to one fabulous feline. Having a special needs dog and a senior dog have given me firsthand experience with caring for pets who need a little extra love and attention — and I’m more than happy to provide it. With over a decade of experience fostering both dogs and cats, animals have always been a huge part of my life. In fact, I like to say I work so my pets can live their best (and most spoiled) lives! I offer a variety of pet care services, including: Overnight care in your home Walks and potty breaks Playtime and feedings Medication administration Multi-pet household care Weekend availability My work schedule is Monday–Friday, 8:00 AM–4:30 PM, so I'm available most weekday evenings and throughout the day on Saturdays and Sundays. Whether your pet needs a walk, some cuddles, or just a reliable human while you're away — I’ve got you covered! Work full time, but available after 430pm during week and flexible on weekends. Overnights also available on Friday and Saturday nights. Can do quick 30 min check or Potty breaks before 8am during week. Set schedules not a necessity. Long term or short term accepted. I currently own three dogs and 1 cat. They are super spoiled, but they deserve it! Key is to make sure they feel safe, have their own space and have needs met.

About: I've grown up with pets my entire life and have had 2 of my own dogs. They both had medical issues so I am very familiar with administering medications and preparing special meals. My home is currently pet-free and I would be so happy to spend time with your dog while you're away. I have plenty of time to spend with your fur baby. I currently work part time and always have Wednesdays and Fridays-Sundays off. I also have some Tuesdays off, and if I do work on Tuesdays it is only from 8-2. Mondays can be discussed. My house has a fully fenced in backyard and I never leave dogs outside unattended. Dogs are welcome to snuggle on my furniture and in bed with me if they like. If your dog is crate trained, feel free to bring their crate or I have a large one they can use. There are no other dogs or children in my home so your dog gets my full attention!

About: Hello, I’m Deanna! I have lived in the Buffalo area all my life & previously have had 2 dogs. I currently have a 3 year old dog at home. I have done 100+ services on another platform with a 4.98/5 rating. I am looking for some doggy’s to socialize with, provide them with activity & get some energy out! I work remotely and am available during day for pets that need often check-ins. If your dog cannot be left alone for 4+ hours, I am your girl! I will follow instructions left by owner and check in with the owner if questions arise; everyone has their own routine and I want pet & parent as comfortable as possible.

Autumn took good care of my two kitties for drop-in visits. She followed directions well, took good pictures of the cats, and gave me short updates about the visit and the cats' activities. She was respectful of my house and property, and I definitely felt like Daisy and Franklin were in good hands while we were away. Thank you, Autumn!
