“Nafisa has been incredible! It brings me so much peace during my workday knowing that she’s checking in on my dogs when I can’t be there. She’s reliable, communicative, and my dogs warmed up to her immediately! My dogs definitely have their quirks and she’s taken it with stride. I appreciate her endlessly!!”
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.
“She spent extra time on the first day to allow my three cats to get to know her. We appreciate having a reliable person with her experience taking care of our little ones.”
“Ciara was great! Our cats have different diets and one of them gets meds. They are shy and don't come out but Ciara knew how to get the job done. We would definitely leave the kitties in her care again.”
“Callie was great! She was super prompt and stayed the entire time(I’ve had other sitters not so this was extra appreciated) and June seemed happy in all the pics! Would recommend and use again!!”
“Lauren was a great sitter for my Lucy! Communication was excellent everyday while I was away… sent pictures too which made me happy to see that Lucy was okay. She even got Lucy to play and interact!! Would definitely highly recommend Lauren!”
“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.”
“Ciara was super responsive and helpful when I needed a new cat sitter on really short notice! She wanted to know absolutely everything abt my cat's routine to make him as comfortable as possible while I was gone, and he loved her so much even though he's often pretty skittish around new people. I got lots of photos and detailed reports every day, she was really attentive to his behavior and making sure he was okay, and overall was just fantastic!”
“We booked Madison for drop in visits with our dog Milo. Madison was responsible and wonderful with Milo! Her love for animals certainly shines through her personality! Thank you Madison!”
“Elisabeth took incredible care of my cat while I was away! I got plenty of photos and she was even kind enough to give in to his daily demands to be brushed. It was such a relief to know he was well taken care of while I was gone for two weeks. Elisabeth was able to step in and extend her visits when my return trip was delayed for a day. Highly recommended!”
“Jonathan was awesome with my dog Thor. Absolutely loved every picture he sent on all drop in visits with him while I was away for a weekend, Thor was always super excited to see him and it was like he had been taking care of him for years based on his reaction. Highly recommend”
“Alyssa swooped in and saved the day a few times when we were out of town for a week. Our little Princess loved her from the start and we felt good knowing she was in such good hands.”
“Sara arrived promptly and asked all the right questions. She was mindful of understanding any rules or boundaries we have set for our fur baby, who is an energetic Siberian Husky. We had an stress-free Mother’s Day knowing Sara was taking care of them! Thank you Sara!”
“Colleen did an amazing job watching our Phoebe. Communication was excellent, she provided great updates and pictures and went above and beyond to care for our dog. She played with her and her various toys and kept her engaged while we were away. I can’t express the benefit that such a peace of mind provided us. We looking forward to working with her again. Thank you, Colleen!”
“This was the second time I have used Barb and Rover. My dogs needs have evolved and Barb adapted well to the increased complexity needed to care for my dogs. I feel confident that I can rely upon her again when I need to.”

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Lackawanna on Rover is $21.09 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

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.
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.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
