“Catie is excellent !! Her love and care for our 2 dogs was evident. When we returned from our trip they were so content. She went above and beyond the basic instructions. Professionally Catie exuded excellent customer service. Promptly returned my calls, set up an interview, and each, and every time showed up on time. Highly recommend this wonderful young lady.”


“Joey was amazing as a dog walker and house sitter. We were gone for 10 days and he totally held down the fort! Our dog bonded well with him. Joey did a great job of taking care of our cherished family member and home. We’ll use him again and highly recommend.”


“Marty’s stay helped make my vacation away even more relaxing, knowing that the pups were so well taken care of! She was communicative with adorable updates & pictures of the pups enjoying their usual activities. It was a great feeling knowing we were all at ease. Marty will be my first choice sitter going forward & I’ve already recommended her to others as well.”



“Elizabeth watched Maya for five days while we were away. Maya LOVED her time with Elizabeth. Elizabeth kept her on a walk/play/eat/sleep schedule and sent periodic pictures so we knew how everything was going. She also vacuumed and mopped before we got home, so there wasn’t dog hair everywhere. Because of Elizabeth, we got to truly enjoy some time away without having to worry about home. Thank you, Elizabeth, and I HIGHLY recommend her!”


About: Ive had animals of all kinds growing up. My family, friends and neighbors have all felt safe leaving their fur babies in my car when they need to leave them for a day or more. You can trust they will be in great hands. Im currently work full time. I can be at your home in the morning, after work and overnight any day of the week. I can also go on my breaks depending on location. I will keep your babies in their normal routine or a temporary routine. I will follow your instructions to a T. I will give them lots of love and playtime. I can follow any dietary needs. I also have experience in medications if your babies require them.

“Bethany is an amazing sitter. She sat for my dog that was recovering from an injury and wearing a cone. She had to give her medicine and keep her comfortable. My dog is picky about who she feels comfortable with but she liked Bethany! She is also very conscientious, punctual, and just really nice! I highly recommend her and will use her again.”


“Jack and Emily took very good care of Riley. They spoiled her and made her comfortable as it took her a day or two to adjust to her new surroundings. Jack was good about sending pictures and updates. He even sent her home with a special treat. Thank you for watching her for us!”


“This was our first time using Rover.com and we were skeptical however Kayligh was amazing. Our dog and cat loved her and when we got back we couldn’t even tell she had been there. The house was how we left it. We will definitely be booking again. She also stayed an extra hour which was really nice, walked the dog, cuddled and played with our dog and sent us pictures. She also got back to us really quickly when we had questions which made us feel like she cared.”


“Suzanne stayed in our house with our 2 dogs for 9 days and did an awesome job. She was a great communicator - we got daily updates which gave us so much peace of mind. She stepped in at the last minute after other plans feel through and dealt with our older dog's medical issues smoothly. And when we returned she had clearly put a lot of effort into making sure the house was clean and ready for us. Maybe the most impressive thing about Suzanne's work is that both of our dogs were really calm when we returned - happy to see us, but not overly crazed like they often can be.”


About: From the first moments I could remember, I have always been around and caring for dogs and cats. I'm also a professional equine bodyworker, with medical experience that is easily translated over to our smaller, 4-legged friends. I take a gentle and intuitive approach with animals, focusing on positive reinforcement. I will care for your pets as if they were my own. I have plenty of flexibility in my schedule. If staying at your home, I will never be gone for more than 8 hrs at a time. Weekends are usually no issue to schedule around either While staying at your home, I stick to the routine you have developed with your pets to make it as stress-free as possible. I recognize the importance of structure with dogs and cats, and losing that while their humans are away can be a big stressor. I will do my best to act as an extension of you while you are away to ensure the most personalized care.

About: I’ve had family dogs for my entire life! I currently own a sweetest dog named Rocky! Everyday I feel like I get to attached with them more than I do with people! Love taking them out on a walk, dog park, or wherever they want me to take them! I have a summer break until like beginning of September! Would rather have weekends to myself until 2-4pm! If you need me during weekends we could definitely make it work! I live in an apartment so it would be better if your fur babies want to stay at their homes! I can do whatever works the best for them!


About: I have been trained in the pet department for country maxx! I work independent contract gigs full time and I have a very flexible schedule! I am a full-time aid to a young woman who loves animals. I work from 9am-4pm on weekdays, and am completely free on weekends! For day checks and walks, I can bring along the woman I care for as long as I have your permission. I can not offer night services at my apartment, but I will gladly house sit or check on your pups at night! I'm a super flexible person who is always looking for new opportunities!

About: Hi there! I’m Laney, a recent graduate who works full time, mostly remote, which means I can spend the day with your pets, giving them company, playtime, and care while you’re away. I have experience with a variety of animals, including dogs from playful puppies to senior pups who may need medications, as well as cats, guinea pigs, and chickens. I’m more than happy to accommodate to meet your pet’s needs. If you have any questions or would like to discuss how I can help, please don’t hesitate to get in touch! Looking forward to meeting you and your pets! 😊 I work full time, primarily remote, which means I can stay with pets throughout the day to give them company, playtime, and care. With few commitments outside of my 9–5, I have the flexibility to adjust my schedule as needed. When I receive bookings, I structure my day around the needs of the pets and their owners, ensuring each animal gets the attention and care they deserve. I carefully follow any specific instructions to maintain the pets’ routines, whether it’s feeding, walking, or playtime. I’m very communicative and happy to share updates and pictures while you’re away, so you can feel assured that your pets are well cared for!! I also make sure the home stays tidy, leaving everything as I found it.😊

“Sarah was fantastic! Hands down the best sitter we have ever had. One of our dogs has separation anxiety and Sarah was great at keeping him calm and happy! Sarah is punctual, reliable and great with communication. She made it so easy for us to feel comfortable and confident going out of town. Thank you so much Sarah, we appreciate you!”


“Vicki is a God send! Reliable, responsible, courteous and absolutely wonderful with my two dogs. I have utilized Vicki for both drop in visits and overnight stays, which have ranged from weekend stays to full week stays. Vicki is great with open communication and provides regular updates, including photos. She is also very flexible with her schedule and answers reservation requests within 24 hours. I would highly recommend this pet sitter! A+++”


About: I’m a professional handler making a pivot to personalized individual care. I have experience in the training world; I’ve even trained my own service dog. I’ve also worked in behavioral health as a Canine Care Technician. I’m currently a student a RIT studying for a career in Public Safety. I do almost exclusively afternoon/evening classes and am willing to wake up early just for the special cat or dog in your life. I am certified in Fear Free/LIMA techniques and have a grasp on positively-reinforced Balance training. I will default to your family’s system to maintain a safe environment for your beloved pets. With your consent, I will leave the house better than I found it; dishes (including water/food bowls) will be washes and the floor swept. We will agree on appropriate times for me to send updates and you will get as many photos as you could possibly want (I have mastered portrait mode on my phone as it relates pet photography. You can ask for previous works.) Thank you for the opportunity to help you optimize your pet’s day. It will be a day full of joy and whimsy!

About: I understand that the worst part of your day is leaving your dog. I absolutely love dogs and will guarantee that your dog will feel safe and happy at home when he/she is with me. I am the one amongst all of my friends that watch their dogs or simply take them out for a hike because they don’t have the time or energy. I have watched dogs from malamutes to Yorkies, and I’m a very active person that loved to exercise my late dog (as of March this year) with hikes to get his energy out! However, if a walk is all he needs or lots of attention at home I am happy to do that. I am a physical therapist and have just completed my canine rehab certification to work with animals and have also recently lost my Aussie of 10 years but not ready to have another, missing my dog interactions! I’m currently working PRN around western NY- I definitely have availability at nights for the long walks they may need and daytime hours are variable according to my work schedule, just ask ! I have availability to a fenced in yard, my apartment would require stairs however. I take frequent walks and can accommodate to your dogs schedule.

“Ronnie was quick to respond, easy to communicate with and loved on our pups while we were away. We are super grateful for her time with and attention to our fur family. We would definitely recommend her to anyone in need of help with their pets!!”

Makaila M.
“Makaila has watched my Dog and cats for over 6 years. I always knew when I went out of town that they were in great hands. She made sure my Aussie (Becky) who was a senior dog of 15 had her meds when needed and gave her plenty of love. My animals adore her and have always felt comfortable with her around. She has even taken them to appointments when I was unable to. She treats every animal as if they were her own. I will always recommend her to anyone to watch over their animals when they are out of town.”

I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet caregiver.”

Melissa O.
“Melissa has been amazing with animals since she was a young girl. Many times while in vacation I felt fortunate to have her as a neighbor to keep track of our beloved pets. From my daughter’s little critters like hamsters and even rats to our Family Great Danes she has always just taken such good care of them while we are away. She even took a friends Quaker parrot for a week while she went on vacation and did a great job with him. I highly recommend Melissa , and know she can handle the care of most any pet.”

Westley-Morgan T.
“Wes is a really good friend of mine. He’s also the uncle to my dog Onyx. I am going to school to become a veterinary technician. I met Onyx on my internship. Wes was the first person I told about him. I knew that when I saw Onyx I loved him but I was so mad. He’d been shot and had to be rescued because they were going to kill him at the shelter over his leg. I helped with doing his X-rays with Cassidy who rescued him. He still had the sweetest smile after everything that had happened to him. I knew we had to do everything to care for him but that included having to amputate his leg. How could anyone hurt this sweet boy? Why would anyone try to hurt a puppy? Months later Onyx is now running through parks and greets everyone with a smile, he loves to eat, and passes out from food comas.He has that same goofy smile for belly rubs and out the window of my car. Wes has for years been a trainer and caretaker of animals. He’s worked in daycares, trained dogs as well as service animals. He’s a lover of all animals no matter big or small and is well aware of how much you and I care about our furry friends. He’s the first person I ask for help to care for Onyx. He’s had years of experience taking care of dogs in daycares and caring for his own fur babies. He’s a gentle hand and genuine passionate reliable person. He was a huge support during Onyx’s recovery just by being kind and now he’s having conferences with Onyx about how he feels about dinner. That’s just a part of who Wes is. Uncle Westifer the first one to get on the ground to play and Onyx is having a blast, 3 legs and all goofy. He’s the first person who I know will take care of Onyx if something would happen. He will just send updates of Onyx’s cute face to checks in and I know he’ll be a phone call away even from across the country. So I know Onyx is being taken cared of and having a blast with someone I trust who will take care and love him just as much as I do.”


Bethanie M.
“I have been working with Bethanie for a long time and she has been so fantastic. I have a black lab and a beagle and she treats them like they are her own and I’ve never felt so comfortable leaving them in someone else’s care. She is attentive, responsive, listens, and truly cares about the details and always goes above and beyond with what’s actually asked of her. After time with Bethanie my dogs are happy, relaxed, and tired (in the best way!). She even sends updates, pictures, and videos of her time with the dogs, which always puts me at ease when I’m away from them. I feel so lucky to have Bethanie in my pup’s lives. I seriously can’t recommend her enough!”


Ronnie O.

“Ronnie was quick to respond, easy to communicate with and loved on our pups while we were away. We are super grateful for her time with and attention to our fur family. We would definitely recommend her to anyone in need of help with their pets!!”
