“Jamie was so good working with our anxious dog why we were away for a week. She sent lots of pictures and provided updates after each time she visited our dog”
“Margaret was very kind and attuned with my 2 corgis. They absolutely loved her and would cry around the time she’d arrive because they were so excited to go on a walk with her. Will definitely be using Margaret’s services again!!”
“Adriana—Thank you for being flexible with the scheduling when I had to cancel one of the days due to illness. You’re always so helpful and make pet care less stressful.”
“Alison and Robert were amazing! They did everything we asked in terms of taking care of our kitty and more. We loved the daily updates with pictures, which were great, and looked forward to them every day during our trip. Would definitely have them back again. We can tell William already misses their visits!”
“As usual, Cori was amazing. Previously, our cats would have been freaked out by the time we returned from a trip. Whenever Cori takes care of Bob and Alice, when we return they kind of look at us with a look that says, "why did you come back? We were perfectly happy playing toys with Corey." While we're really jealous of her relationship with B and A, we're always comfortable with the care they get when we leave them in Cori's capable and caring hands. And the photo updates are always a welcome treat. Thanks Cori!”
About: My journey in animal care began in 2017 as a kennel technician, and over the past 8 years, I’ve grown into a skilled veterinary assistant with extensive experience caring for dogs, cats and exotic pets of all breeds and temperaments. When I go home, I hug my 2 cats and 2 dogs after a long days work. I also have owned a hedgehog who is now in heaven, and I had the pleasure of growing with and caring for my childhood dog who is also in heaven with my hedgie. From daily walks and enrichment to assisting in exams and treatments, I’ve had the privilege of supporting our furry friends through every stage of life. I’m trained in administering medications—whether it’s a pill, injection, or special diet—and I always prioritize comfort, safety, and trust. Whether your fur baby is playful, shy, or needs a little extra TLC, I bring patience, experience, and a whole lot of love to every visit. I work weekdays 7a-3p, so I am available M-F after 3-3:30p. Saturdays and Sundays I am usually away. I can answer any questions on availability and openings for walks and drop ins! I fully acknowledge that I am entering into your home and that alone is the biggest reason I go above and beyond on building trust with you and fur babies. Safety is my highest priority — I want everyone to feel safe before I ever step foot into your home. I require a meet and greet to start the process; this is to make sure your pet(s) get familiarized with my presence, then I assess compatibility after 1-2 bookings. If I’m concerned about temperament, we will next steps and gauge whether or not we can move forward with future bookings. There are times when pets display signs of stress or protective/territorial behaviors when a stranger enters their home, especially if it’s for the first time. While I’m comfortable caring for an array of temperaments, the last thing I want is your pet to be stressed and unhappy. I am transparent about this process upfront as I prioritize safety for all parties. Upon meeting you and your pet for the first time, I will ask you (many) questions and write all information provided down and go over everything with you before ending the meet and greet session. This will include questions regarding specialized care, diet, temperament, etc. I will also ask for an emergency contact and veterinarian information in the case there is an emergency while you’re not home. For all of my services I make sure to accurately follow all instructions provided with consistent text and picture updates. I NEVER touch anything in your home besides pet-related items disclosed at our meet and greet unless I have permission. After services are completed, I refill all food/water bowls, put back all pet related items such as food and toys where they belong, tidy up if permitted, and give your pets some extra TLC before leaving!
About: I’m new to Rover but not to dogs! I have worked in a veterinary kennel, a daycare/boarding center, completed a PennVet summer program, and volunteered at the SPCA for years. Let me walk your doggies! I love them all. I am free daily until late August, barring my 5-8 pm tutoring shifts, a few weekly appointments, and random engagements. I have lots of energy in the morning so I can do early morning walks if needed. I am very respectful and caring towards others’ animals, spaces and belongings, and would love the opportunity to take care of your pet in your home so that both of you have the least anxiety possible.
“Sarah came to meet Greta before our schedule drop-ins, and she immediately put this nervous dog-owner at ease -- didn't hurt that my pup immediately rolled over to let Sarah rub her belly! Dogs are a good judge of character. :) Sarah dropped in just when she said she would, sent photos from her visits, and I came home to a calm and happy dog.”
About: While growing up, there were always 6 dogs in the house ranging from chow chows to a small morkie. With my friends and family, I’m the first one on-call to watch their furry friends. I’ve taken care of a Great Pyrenees puppy all the way to a 15 yr old chihuahua. I’m open to overnight pet sitting or even a simple walk :) I typically work Tuesday through Saturday during the day. So I’d be available for morning walks, morning and afternoon potty breaks, or even overnight stays! Sundays and Mondays I have open availability! Since every dog is different, I try to gauge the typical day based on the information provided. If your pup is very social and loves to explore, I’ll bring them on a scenic walk. If you have couch potato, that’s no problem at all!
About: I volunteered at the animal shelter Wanderes Rest all throughout high school. I have experience with many different kinds of animal behaviors. I work as a vet assistant for my job. Which means I know how to handle and take care of your precious fur babies. I can teach new commands if requested. I have experience with giving oral medication to both cats and dogs. I have experience with taking care of both senior cats and dogs. I will be attentive and detail oriented to their needs and care. I have experience with responding to emergencies in a calm and efficient manner. As well as keeping you updated about your pets wellbeing with LOTS of pictures. I've had stray dogs and cats approach me. Without doing anything to get their attention. Animals seem drawn towards my energy. Which is why I believe I'm the best choice when choosing someone to take care of your fur babies with Love and Attention while you are away 💕 I currently work weekends which means I am available during the week Mon - Fri. To drop by and check in on your precious babies. The only times I'm not available are 1-2:30pm since I walk dogs during those times. I am attentive and detailed oriented. I will follow your instructions word for word. Treating your fur babies like my own fur babies with Love, Attention, and Playful energy.
About: I have helped take care of the pets in my family since I was little! I love the distinct personalities and quirks that different animals have. Spending time with animals is good for the soul and I would love to help take care of them in my free time! I am currently working part time, and need to be in Oswego on Wednesdays and Fridays until 4. I particularly enjoy going for walks on these days to move after a drive. I am free the rest of the week and available on weekends! I follow the directions given to me for petcare, and make sure animals get plenty of attention and play time while their owners are gone while being respectful to their space.
About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs, including feeding, providing fresh water, and ensuring they get regular exercise through walks. I have looked after my friends dog on multiple occasions, taking responsibility for their daily needs and giving them plenty of attention, playtime, and affection. I’m actively looking to walk dogs as I enjoy walking them during the evening time. I’m a teacher so during school year, lm available 3 pm and onwards I am only offering dog walking service since I live in an apartment, it will be very difficult to take care of the dog here.
“Kira did an absolutely amazing job with our two kittens and tripod cat. I felt very confident that she could handle anything they threw her way (especially because they aren't fully integrated yet and I wasn't sure how nice my older cat would be with the kittens!) Kira facilitated them safetly getting to know each other, provided them a clean safe environment, and loads of love. I can tell she loves cats by the second she greeted them. She filled out amazing thorough reports everyday that made me feel like i wasnt missing anything even though we were gone for a week. She was a wonderful cat sitter and I can't say enough good things about her!”
“Anne is the best around. Very responsive and provides great pics fusing her visits! Anne’s consistency and professionalism gives me peace of mind when leaving my bff in her care.”

Isabel V.
“Isabel is a wonderful and empathetic person who pays a lot of attention to animals. She helped me with Fred, a chocolate Labrador who lived with me until recently and Wolfe, the German Shepherd in my care now. Both dogs eat a diet of raw meat only, and require at least 2 walks a day. The Fred was very food motivated, and always enjoyed getting treats for doing tricks. One thing that Isabel taught me that I didn't even realize is that he sneezed whenever he was excited, especially when he knew it was 'treat time'. She also took great care of Wolfe, who is a very energetic and playful dog, and played with him even more than I do when she took care of him. She also was eager to help maintain his training when I mentioned some of the tricks he knew, but didn't really ask her to take care of and even expressed interest in teaching him to find treats. She also taught me how to wrap treats In a towel to keep his busy brain active. I've been impressed with her enthusiasm for animal care and her willingness to go above and beyond for the animals to meet their needs. I would highly reccomend her to take care of your animals.”
