About: I have 5 plus years of experience taking care of puppies and adult dogs! I love dogs so much, I foster puppies in need whenever I am able to. I treat your pets as if they were my own! I am fortunate enough to be able to work from home, so am able to be home with your pets most of the day ! I provide a safe, loving home where pets can feel comfortable and happy. I have a secure 6 foot fenced yard for plenty of outdoor time, along with daily walks and lots of play to keep them active. I only board for one family at a time so your pet would get plenty of attention, affection, and cuddles so they feel right at home while you're away!
“I am super happy I found Alex. He cared for my two cats, dropping by throughout the weekend while I was away. He sent me lots of great photos of them playing and hanging out, and regular updates as he took care of their needs. Super communicative, even offered to do a couple things I hadn’t thought of. I’m always super nervous to leave my pets with someone, especially someone new, but Alex helped me feel comfortable that they were getting good care.”
“Paulina was amazing! She was able to accommodate for a last minute request and she did such a great job! I would recommend her 100%, definitely going to be booking again!”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my background in K9 training and management and my genuine passion for working with dogs of all ages and personalities. I’m currently studying at SUNY Cobleskill, so I bring both hands on experience and current training knowledge into my care. I’m especially comfortable with puppies, helping with basics like leash manners, crate training, and building good habits, and I’m also very patient with senior dogs, making sure they stay comfortable and safe. I pay close attention to each dog’s behavior and body language so I can adjust to their needs, whether they’re energetic, shy, or reactive. I’m not just there to watch your dog, I’m there to understand them, support them, and make sure they feel safe and cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits easily into my routine because I’m currently on summer break from SUNY Cobleskill where I study K9 Training and Management, so I have a lot of free time and flexibility in my schedule. This allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day, including walks, playtime, feeding, and check-ins. Since working with dogs is something I’m passionate about and studying for, I enjoy making it part of my daily routine and making sure each pet gets the care, exercise, and attention they need while their owners are away. When caring for pets in your home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I follow your instructions closely for feeding, walks, medication if needed, and any specific care the pet requires. I also make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and exercise depending on their energy level and personality.
About: I’ve taken care of my calico cutie for almost 10 years, as well as having dogs durring my childhood. Also, I’ve dog sat for a family friend for nearly 4 years. Currently I am working part-time as a barista a few days a week, my availability reflects the days i am off, or what time before/after work i am available so there shouldn’t ever be any time issues! I will treat your animal as my own, but I understand that I’m coming into your space and their space. I will be very courteous of my surroundings & work efficiently with you to create a positive experience.
“Jen was great, she did a great job taking care of our kitty's! We have a special needs cat, and Jen handled her wonderfully! We would definitely recommend her, and we would definitely have her take care of our cats again! 10/10”
About: I’ve been around dogs/cats for years and have built experience throughout my years of working at a daycare. They will get all the love and care they need. I work full time but my days usually end by 1 or 2pm. I have a very flexible schedule. I can always tweak my schedule around for your pets needs. I do have a fenced in yard. They can be crated if needed. I will work according to their schedule as best as possible. They will get a lot of attention.
About: Hi! I'm Lauren :) As a school teacher, responsibility, patience, and safety are naturally built into everything I do, so you can rest assured your pup is in highly capable hands with me. I recently lost my beloved dog and absolute best friend, Charlie, and pet sitting has become my favorite way to channel all that leftover love into spoiling, pampering, and protecting other people's furry family members. I am a new homeowner, which means your dog will get to enjoy a spacious, fully fenced-in backyard that is perfect for safe outdoor playtime, fetch, and afternoon zoomies. Since I am on summer break, my schedule is completely wide open for boarding, housesitting, or check-ins and drop-ins to let your pup out. I know how tough it is to be away from your pets, so I make it a priority to send picture updates throughout the day so you always have total peace of mind. Whether your dog needs a high-energy or calm play space, I cannot wait to welcome them into my new home! I am a teacher, which means I am available all summer long. If your pet needs care in the mornings, evenings, or nights, whatever your schedule needs, I am there! I have a house with a spacious, fenced-in yard. I do not have other pets, so I would love to share my yard with some furry friends. Your pet will be my main focus, receiving lots of love and attention!
“We have an anxiety 2 year old cocker spaniel that truly has the best time with Arian & Lilia. They made our trip so much more comfortable knowing they were okay. I truly and highly recommend them! They came to meet the dogs twice and were so sweet”
“This is the second time that Nancy watched our cats while we were on vacation, and it is so good to know that your cats are well taken care of so that you can go on vacation worry-free! I love the daily texts and pictures of our cats as it really gives me peace of mind that everything is okay. I would not hesitate to have her watch our cats for any future trips!!”
“Trevor took excellent care of our lab Daisy while we were away. He kept us informed and sent pictures of everything they did. It made us feel at ease knowing she was in good hands.”
About: Hey there! I'm Jeanna, and I'd love to be considered as your new reliable pet sitter. Not only did I grow up with various pets, but I've been the go-to pet sitter for my family and friends as well. My friends joke with me for having a "pet hotel" at my house - with a new four legged guest every so often. So I figured I'd give Rover a shot and pursue what I love to do. With over 20 years experience, you can count on me to give the best care for your pet and love them like my own. I'm a huge dog lover and pit bull advocate. I have experience taking care of dogs with seizures, dogs with mobility issues (degenerative myelopathy & blindness), and caring for multiple dogs in the same home. Age is just a number - I've been responsible for caring for puppies and elderly dogs as well. And I don't mind getting cuddles from small or large breeds either! If you like what you've read, I'd love to chat more about how I can provide the best care for your pet! My schedule can be pretty flexible for the most part. I work remotely and don't mind working out a timeline that works best for your pets. I've hosted pets at my house, but I'm currently not taking any at this time. I live in a very dog-friendly condo development, so it's great to meet new furry friends on walks, but we often host a non-friendly pup that we currently need to keep our home available to for last minute occasions. Please note: I'm allergic to cats & rabbits, so the most I can do right now for homes with those pets is drop-ins for feedings throughout the day (no overnights).
About: A deeply passionate pet sitter-with lots of hands-on medical experience working in a hospital setting for humans, and a lifelong love for animals of all kinds (just no cat boarding, please-I'm allergic!). My daughter and I currently share our home with a bearded dragon and an axolotl, and throughout the years we've lovingly cared for dogs, birds, turtles, tortoises, geckos, and even a friend's water dragon. We've maintained aquariums with blue lobster crayfish, shrimp, and a wide variety of freshwater fish, and I was raised around saltwater tanks thanks to my father's passion for marine life. Together, we've hand-fed cherry red tortoises, cared for koi ponds, and welcome baby birds each season to the seven birdhouses in our backyard-it truly feels like living in an atrium. My daughter competes in horseback riding and has hands-on experience with goats, chickens, llamas, pigs, and even zonkeys. We've hand-fed kangaroos and giraffes, pet penguins, cuddled bunnies and guinea pigs, ridden camels, and even fed alligators. We're fully comfortable with live feeding for reptiles and amphibians-crickets, worms, and more. Dogs are our biggest joy! We offer backyard agility play, trick training, beach days, boat rides, paddle boarding, park play and runs (my daughter is a competitive track athlete). We love dressing pets for fun occasions (always safe and functional), providing custom feeding routines, and yes-even holding special chew treats to make your pup feel spoiled and secure. We're also experienced anglers, and my daughter has worked as a mate on various fishing boats, giving us even more hands-on animal care and outdoor experience. While I can't host cats due to allergies, I'm happy to provide walks or drop-in visits for dogs even in homes with cats. And if you have animals that are a little outside the box-just ask! We have a true passion for wildlife and Iove exploring new animal care opportunities. Hi there! I currently work per diem, so my schedule is very flexible and I’m available most days and weekends. I also offer holidays and last minute get away watching if you are you are ever in a pinch! I offer a safe, calm environment with a fully fenced-in yard and no other dogs—so no scruffles or stress! I also have a large vehicle that can easily transport supplies or pets if needed. Whether it’s a day visit or overnight care in my home, your pets will be in good hands. Feel free to reach out with any questions or to schedule a meet-and-greet!
About: I’ve worked with pets of all ages, sizes, and energy levels—from playful puppies to slow-paced seniors. I tailor my care to each animal’s unique needs, whether that means reinforcing good leash manners, sticking to medication schedules, or simply providing comfort and consistency while you’re away. What sets me apart: • Experience with puppy training basics (crate time, potty schedules, leash work) • Comfortable with senior care, including slow walks, joint supplements, and extra TLC • Clear, consistent communication with photo updates you’ll actually look forward to • Flexible scheduling and a calm, confident approach to any surprises Every pet is different—I pride myself on learning their quirks, respecting their routines, and becoming a familiar, trusted presence while you’re gone. Pet care is my main focus and part of my daily routine—I do it often and love every minute of it! My schedule is flexible, which means I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays throughout the week. Your pet’s needs are my priority, and I make sure they get consistent, loving care whenever you need it. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or mine, their safety and comfort come first. I follow all care instructions closely, keep environments clean and pet-friendly, and never leave animals unattended in unsafe situations. I respect your home like it’s my own—locking up securely, tidying up after visits, and making sure your pet feels relaxed and loved the entire time you’re away. I also give regular updates so you can feel confident and connected, knowing your pet is happy, safe, and in good hands.
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life . Bringing home and caring for strays as a child. I will treat each pet as if they were my own. I have 2 pit bulls. Tinkerbell and Peter Pan 🩷💙 I work remotely and can easily fit your dogs routine into my own so, I can ensure that they get the care and attention that they deserve. I always meet your pet first so we can get acquainted and you can tell me about their personality and any special needs treating each pet as if they were my own. I strive to make your fur baby feel at home and ease. any worries, you may have.
About: I have cared for the furry friends of my family members, friends, and neighbors. Since I was very young, I had always had a passion and love for animals. I grew up with Rottweiler's in my home that were my best friends. In 2020, I adopted my first kitten that was orphaned by her mom at just 4 weeks old, from an overcrowded shelter. Since then, I have began pet sitting my neighbors 7 cats, as well as raise (2) new Rottweiler puppies, and take care of elderly pets who take medications na have medical issues. I work from home with a very flexible schedule that can be adapted to most schedules and needs. I love to walk and would be happy to go on very long walks with all pups! My cat is an indoor only cat for her health and safety. I have pet insurance for her and keep her the perfect weight to keep her healthy! I care very much about animals health and well being!

Olha has been a huge life saver. Our dog has anxiety and is fearful of new people. Olha came 3x to make sure Abbie was comfortable before we went on a vacation . We even see her waving good bye. I can’t not say how truly appreciative we are for her. Anyone that needs a dog walker or sitter please idk olha!
I used Dillan yesterday for my 8 week old golden retriever puppy. I was very hestinant at first as an owner of two other dogs ages 11 & 4 I never used a sitter to help out with my dogs, however Dillan make the process so easy and help ease my nerves about having someone care for my dogs. He answered my messages on a timely manner and even shared pictures and a cute video of my pup Dunkin playing in the yard. I would highly recommend Dillan to care for your pets. He also followed the many rules and expectations that I’ve asked of him I Look forward to using him on a regular basis. Overall 10/10 service.

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.
