This is the 3rd time we’ve booked with Mariah to check on our senior cats while on vacation. She is very reliable and responsive. Have recommended her to friends and family for pet sitting needs.

About: Hello, my name is Jessie. I am an experienced animal care provider who is extremely excited to meet your babies! I have worked at dog daycare, pet boarding and grooming facilities for 10 years and have taken care of animals of all types! I have always been a pet owner and lover. I have experience with puppies and kittens as well as senior pets, animals with behavioral issues and with medical needs. In 2021 I graduated from Canisius College with a degree in Animal Behavior, Ecology and Conservation. During my time at Canisius, I completed an internship at the Erie County SPCA in the wildlife department; where I helped to care for many different exotic and wild animals. I have also taken classes for and have experience with dog grooming. I currently have a shetland sheepdog, a rottweiler, a miniature poodle and two cats who are my entire world. I am mostly available during the evenings on weekdays and all day on weekends. Regardless of this, I’m always able to provide your pets with wonderful care. I do work during the week but will be able to stay with your pets over night and check on them during lunch break and back again after work. If you have any specific questions, feel free to contact me at any time! When I am not at work- I’m pretty much always home! I have plenty of time give your babies all the love and care they need! I will always provide your pets with as much love and care as you would! I will follow all instructions to a tee as far as their feedings and other needs. Whether it’s frequent potty breaks or a specific way they like to eat their dinner; you can rest assure that they will be cared for to the highest standard.

About: Having cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages for over 15 years, I treat every pet like family. I understand that each dog has unique needs, whether it’s energetic play and long walks, patient puppy routine reinforcement (crate training, gentle redirection, and potty breaks), or calm, gentle comfort for seniors. ​I take pride in creating a structured, safe, and positive environment so your dog feels completely at home. You can expect frequent photo updates, open communication, and thorough attention to routines, feeding schedules, and favorite quirks while you’re away. Pet care integrates seamlessly into my daily routine thanks to my flexible schedule. Because I work independently from home, I have wide availability throughout the day to provide attentive supervision, frequent potty breaks, feeding, and interactive play sessions. I can easily accommodate weekday drop-ins, walks, and daycare, as well as overnight boarding and weekend stays without leaving your pet unattended for long stretches. Safety and peace of mind are my top priorities. In my home, pets enjoy a clean, pet-proofed environment where routines are respected and separate spaces can easily be arranged for feeding, rest, or crating whenever needed. When caring for pets in your home, I treat your space with complete respect, following your precise safety rules, leash protocols, and emergency procedures. You will receive regular photo and text updates so you always know your pup is safe, relaxed, and having a great time.

Trish was great with our puppy. After the initial meet and greet, we were very comfortable having Trish come to our house and care for our puppy. She is clearly an animal lover. Her communication is excellent. She also sent us pictures and an overview of how things went during each visit. We are looking forward to having Trish care for Betty again.

About: I grew up with a variety of animals all around me, but I have especial experience with dogs and cats. I am a cat mama of 1 sweet, docile senior kitty. I am a 1st year medical student at the Jacobs School of Medicine, and I would love to take care of the furry friends in my new community! I am a full-time medical student. My first priority when I return home is my sweet old kitty, and your pet would join him in that spot as well! I am prompt to give abundant attention and play, and I follow a diligent feeding schedule. My cat is very socialized (grew up in a household of 7 people and 4 other cats/dogs), and he is fully up-to-date on his vaccinations. I love animals and would love to give a little extra care to others’ fur babies when I can! The safety and wellbeing of my cat is my number one priority, and I treat all animals to this same standard. I love showering my cat with attention, and I of course would pour my love into your pet as well. I am extremely mindful of respecting animals’ boundaries as well, and playing to the tune that is right for them. I love to embrace the unique animal personalities which come my way, and I am happy to accommodate pet needs as they present!

About: Hi! I’m Julian, and I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet. My goal is to provide dependable, compassionate care that keeps your dog safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away. Whether your dog needs a midday walk, a drop-in visit for food, water, potty breaks, or a fun day of companionship, I’ll treat them like they’re my own. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine and personality so they receive the attention and care they’re used to. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, including large breeds, and I understand that every dog has different energy levels and needs. During every visit, I’ll provide plenty of exercise, playtime, affection, and positive interaction. I’ll also send photo and message updates so you always know how your pet is doing. Reliability, communication, and your pet’s safety are my top priorities. I look forward to meeting you and your four-legged family member! I do work a full time job. Night shift 1030pm-7am, rotating weekends. I think this is perfect for pet care because i work when all the dogs are asleep. I have time to walk the dogs give them some love and attention in the mornings. I then nap and usually up and active by 1pm and have plenty of time to help take care of your pets. I walk my own dogs so much i figure i can spread the love. I have a fully fenced yard. I have 3 friendly dogs who are eager to play. A Rottweiler, a cavalier King Charles spaniel mix, and a Yorkie/bichon mix as well as 2 cats, one shy female and a male orange cat who thinks he’s one of the dogs

About: Hi! I’m an educator with a lifelong love for animals and a passion for providing them with the same patience, care, and attention I bring to my work with children. I’m also an active dog foster, which has given me hands-on experience caring for dogs with a wide range of personalities, backgrounds, and needs. Fostering has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and helping animals feel safe and comfortable in a new environment. I know how important it is to have someone you can truly trust with your pets. I’m dependable, responsible, and attentive to each animal’s individual personality and routine. Whether your pet loves long walks and playtime, prefers lots of cuddles, or just needs a calm and reassuring presence, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at. I’m comfortable caring for both dogs and cats and understand that every pet has their own needs, quirks, and comfort level. I’ll follow your instructions closely and make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I also know how reassuring updates can be, so you can expect plenty of photos and check-ins during our time together! 🐶🐱💛 I’d love the opportunity to get to know you and your pets!

About: I’ve spent years caring for dogs of all ages, breeds, and temperaments—whether it’s daily walks, overnight stays, or just providing companionship while you’re away. What sets me apart is my deep understanding of animal behavior, my calm, patient approach, and my genuine love for every pet I meet. I’m also confident in my ability to follow detailed care routines, and great at building trust with shy or anxious pets. Safety, reliability, and creating a stress-free experience for your furry family member are always my top priorities. Whether it’s a long walk, belly rubs, or just keeping your pet company, I treat every animal as if they were my own. Pet care fits naturally into my routine and brings a great balance to my life. I currently work part-time as a waitress, which gives me the flexibility to dedicate consistent time and energy to dog walking, sitting, and overall pet care throughout the week. I recently graduated with my master’s degree in Occupational Therapy from D’Youville University and am currently studying for my national board exam to become licensed in New York State. During this period, my schedule remains highly flexible, allowing me to provide dependable care, whether it’s daily walks, drop-ins, or extended stays. Spending time with animals is not only something I enjoy, but also something that keeps me grounded and motivated as I prepare for the next step in my professional journey. Whether I’m caring for your dog in my home or yours, their comfort and safety are always my top priority. At my home, your pet will be treated like family. I have one dog of my own—Stella—who is the queen of our house and loves making new furry friends. She’s extremely friendly and gentle, and would be a great companion for your pup. We also have a fully fenced-in yard, perfect for safe outdoor play and exercise. If your dog is more comfortable in their own home, I’m happy to care for them there as well. I understand how important routine is, and I always make sure to follow your dog’s regular schedule to help them feel secure and relaxed. Whether it’s in my home or yours, I strive to create a calm, loving environment where your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for.

Ciara is hands down the best pet sitter on this app. We’ve had multiple experiences that have lacked actual care and respect towards our family pets and home. She is incredibly energetic and passionate towards animals and goes above and beyond in every aspect. Thank you for the great service provided and look forward to rebooking in the future. Thanks again

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Lackawanna

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Lackawanna on Rover is $21.09 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 913 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Lackawanna. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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 Lackawanna 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 Lackawanna 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 Lackawanna with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lackawanna. On Rover:

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 89% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

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.
