“Marissa took in my elderly greyhound on short notice. He can be anxious in new places, but he looked like he was at home within 24 hours. The house is clean, safe, and accessible for dogs with mobility problems. Marissa herself is kind and responsive. The pooch and I were lucky to find her.”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was young, helping neighbours, friends, and family by walking, feeding, bathing, and giving lots of love and attention. Pet care is naturally part of my routine. I can set aside time each day for feeding, walks, and play to ensure pets stay healthy, active, and well cared for. In my home or a client’s home, I make sure pets feel comfortable and cared for. I follow their usual routines with feeding, walks, playtime, and rest. I also provide plenty of attention, keep their space clean, and ensure they feel safe and happy while their owners are away.
“Emma was amazing! She took care of our Great Dane, Max. In constant communication with us to let us know how Max was doing. Would definitely recommend this sweet girl to anyone who has a dog that needs looking after.”
“Kendra was wonderful! Very communicative before booking and during the stay. Sent us lots of photos and updates. Dogs had a great time, briefly acknowledged us and immediately went to bed snoring away. Would definitely book again.”

About: What sets me apart is my versatile experience caring for dogs, cats, and rabbits. Beyond daily care and managing my own two-year-old Siberian mix, Jiaozi, I specialize in positive reinforcement training for puppies and administering gentle, patient care for senior animals. As a doctoral student, my schedule offers a great deal of flexibility, making it easy to seamlessly integrate pet care into my day. My daily routine is already anchored by morning and evening care for my two-year-old Siberian mix, Jiaozi. Because I spend a significant amount of time studying and working from home, I can comfortably accommodate midday dog walks, frequent potty breaks, and consistent feeding schedules while providing plenty of companionship. Whether in your home or mine, safety and routine are my top priorities. When caring for pets in your home, I strictly follow your instructions regarding feeding, walking, and house rules to ensure your pet feels secure in their familiar environment. I also treat your space with the utmost respect and keep it clean. In my own home, I maintain a calm and safe atmosphere. I have a two-year-old Siberian mix named Jiaozi, so any visiting pets will have careful, supervised introductions, and I can easily separate spaces if needed to ensure everyone remains comfortable and stress-free. No matter the location, I always send plenty of photo and text updates so you can have complete peace of mind.
About: I am an animal lover and have owned dogs for over 50 years. Additionally, I am extremely knowledgeable in dog behavior and practice pet safety. I am currently retired and have plenty of time to provide care, exercise and affection to each furry friend in my home. I am very flexible with my schedule and can meet the needs of most pets in my care. My home has a large, fenced in yard and it is free of objects which may harm pets. I provide constant supervision and practice pet safety at all times.
About: I do not have a pet on my own due to my frequent travel schedule but that only means that your pet will get that extra love I have to share. I am caring and attentive, I notice the little things—each pet’s quirks, moods, and routines—and respond with patience. Your little or big friend will not get bored while in my care. I am a drafter working for an architectural company in Cheektowaga, my schedule is 8-5 every weekday. I love long walks after work in the evening, so don’t hesitate to shoot me a message even if the walk is needed within an hour! I will do my best to comfort your pet while you are away, I can play and train them, go on long walks, also if needed I can take a dog to a dog park or to vet appontments.
About: I have past experience working for Wag where I walked a number of different dogs over the course of about a year and a half. I also have experience with raising, training, and caring for my own pups as well as my two cats! I work as a freelancer currently, so I will have plenty of time to stop in and care for your pet any day of the week you need me! I can accommodate any and all needs that your pets have while you are away from home! In my experience with Wag as a dog walker, I entered and re-secured many homes while owners were away.
“I loved the way they treated my dog... excellent communication, lots of photos, and status updates... it made me feel like my dog was safe... I absolutely loved it and will definitely hire their services again.”

About: As a fellow pet parent, I know how much trust it takes to leave your dog with someone new. That’s why I treat every pet like part of my own little furry family—warm cuddles, silly moments, and all. Your pet’s happiness and comfort mean everything to me. I’m available for boarding pet care on the weekends mainly. Also, open to be flexible and accommodate special requests. Please message me with your questions. I have a smaller fenced yard for quick potty breaks throughout the day and take my own two doggies for regular walks in the neighborhood as well. A minimum of 2x per day, rain or snow.

“Guy was wonderful in taking special care of our elderly dog Oli. We would recommend Guy for dog care, he was very tentative to Oli’s special needs. Guy kept us updated on how Oli was doing and even sent a picture. Thanks again for taking care of him while we were on vacation! Lorraine and Rich”

“First time my young dog stayed at a private home, and so there were an issue or two. Vidya dealt with them like a pro. She kept me informed and sent photos so I knew my dog was smiling and having fun.”


“Monica is so friendly and kind. This was the first time we used Rover for Sophie and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. You can tell she is a dog lover and I felt totally comfortable leaving Sophie with her for the week. Loved that she sent me pictures throughout the week too!”

“Melissa and Gregory were incredible! This was our first time using Rover and they put us immediately at ease. They welcomed our rambunctious puppy into their home with open arms, making us feel confident that he would be well taken care of. He had some tummy troubles going on when we had to leave and they were so understanding, telling us not to worry. He made a mess in his crate one night because of this and they were so understanding, not bothered at all. They cooked up his brat diet (ground beef and rice) for several days until his stomach was working better. Leo came back to us healthy and happy. I highly recommend Melissa and Greg - they are just super!”

“Alexa and Florian were awesome with Sophia. Really took a lot of stress off of my mind knowing she was in great care. The updates were much appreciated and Sophia had a great time. Thank you so much!”


“Mindy and her family were wonderful with my Livi! I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing she was loved and cared for. I highly recommend Mindy and will definitely use her again!”

“Tammy was absolutely wonderful. I felt completely confident and at ease knowing my dogs were in good hands. She was so understanding and attentive to their needs. I’ll definitely be rebooking with her in the future.”
“My dogs had a wonderful time with Monique and her dogs. It was like Canada’s Wonderland for dogs. Would definitely have her watch my dogs again and I highly recommend her services.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lackawanna
My mom’s dog was so well taken care of, was comfortable with Alena & Regina. We were sent a video & multiple picture of Molly with their dog, and laying on the couch. Molly is a rescue so it usually takes her quite some time to get comfortable around other people & especially other dogs. But, she fit right in!!! We are pleased with Molly’s exceptional care and will definitely leave her again the next time we are out of town! Thank you again!

Mere words cannot describe how wonderful our experience with Denae and Mark was. They cared for Ringo as if he was their own. This was the longest I have ever left Ringo and I felt so relaxed knowing that I was leaving Ringo with Denae and Mark. The pictures that they sent me said it all. My little guy looked relaxed, comfortable and looked like he was having fun. The star rating only goes up to 5 but they deserve 500!

Michaela took great care of my dog when I went out of town for a few nights! This was my first time leaving a pet with Rover so I was very nervous - after doing a meet and great I was at ease with leaving my dog with her! She sent a lot of photo updates which I really appreciated, and my dog looked happy and relaxed in all of the photos. I would absolutely leave my dog with Michaela again!

Once again Jessica provided the best care for our dog. He came back happy to see us, but also quite content and not the least bit stressed. Jessica is willing to provide pictures and updates, but is never bothersome. We absolutely trust her with our dog and will continue to look to her first.

Marissa was the perfect sitter for our girl. She has a cozy home complete with all the essentials - dog blankets, chewies and sidewalks for walks. More than that, Marissa is a dog lover and made my dog her priority during the stay, with the photos of her tucked in under blankets to prove it 😂 I’m very lucky to have found her and will def be booking again!

There are 327 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Lackawanna. About 95% of Lackawanna sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in NY ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
