“Jessica was awesome! Our normal cat sitter had something come up and couldn't do the last couple days of our booking and we had to find an alternative fairly quickly. We were nervous about it, given that we were going on an international vacation, but we were at ease from the check-in onwards. She provided regular updates and was super communicative, and went above and beyond to care for our kitties. I would definitely recommend Jessica and use her again!”


“Elizabeth did a great job watching our cat and we’d definitely consider rebooking in the future. She was very responsive and provided photos/updates.”


“Kelsey is literally the best ever! I have a timid Great Dane and and Boxer Mastiff, and they love her and get so excited when I ask or tell them Kelsey’s coming today! I recently was im a bind traveling for work and Kelsey has been a lifesaver. She literally goes above and beyond without asking and I look forward to the Rover reports! Can’t say enough great things about her and definitely trust Kelsey with my furr babies.”


“Rose is such a great person and extremely trustworthy. We will always hire her to watch our pups! Thank you Rose!!”


“Callie was amazing! She took expert care of our Phoebe; treating her well and attending to her needs while keeping her entertained. Highly recommend!”


“Rachael did an awesome job. Between quick communication and taking great care of my cat Tinkerbell at my home, I would highly recommend her. She answered any and all questions timely and sent pictures every day. Thank you Rachael!”


About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was a little girl. Growing up, my family always had at least one dog in the house, and I would usually convince them to get more! I’m always asked to pet sit by family and friends as my love for animals is known by all. Since I’ve moved into my own apartment, I’ve volunteered at the SPCA and have fostered multiple dogs! I always need to have dog interaction in my life, so since I’m not quite ready to adopt, I take care of shelter pups or other people’s dogs when they need the help! I am currently an undergraduate student at University at Buffalo. I have a fairly flexible schedule as all my classes are on Tuesdays and Thursdays, giving me a generous amount of free time during the remaining days of the week. I currently live in an apartment with no dog of my own, however, I grew up in a house that always had a dog. I still consider my mom’s dogs my own, and visit them quite frequently. I’m the type to sit down and spend lots of quality one on one time with a pup. I never get tired of playing and would love to go on long walks around the neighborhood. I am also a sucker for spoiling dogs with treats :)

“Nafisa is amazing. She sent multiple pictures and detailed updates during each drop in. My dogs (and bunnies) loved her!”



“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.”


“Shannon is excellent! I feel comfortable going away knowing my fur baby is being well taken care of. Shannon put me at ease with sending updates and pictures throughout the time I was away. I highly recommend Shannon and I hope she is available in the future!”


“Amanda took excellent care of our guinea pig Teddy over the weekend. We've had bad pet sitter experiences in the past but Amanda was very descriptive and sent lots of pictures during her stay. We highly recommend hiring her.”



About: I love dogs and I've been caring for large dogs for over 5 years. I love walking them and play with them. I believe dogs are human's best friends. They're the best listener when you need to talk to someone :). I would like to take care of your dog while you can't. I will make sure they're being taken good care of. I have a large fenced yard and close to a dog run. I like taking them there when the weather is nice. I will tailor your dog caring style and make sure your best friend feels like he's home. Thanks for your time, and remember to enjoy the rest of your day and you know you can have a peace of mind :)

“An amazing sitter! She went above and beyond for us. So thankful for her and being able to drop in last minute for us. I would recommend to anyone. She handled our crazy pups so well.”


About: I’ve cared for pets since age 10. I am a stay at home dog mom ready to care for all your pets wants and needs! Stay at home pet mom who loves to care for animals. Available anytime and always willing to travel if it’s needed. Always reliable to work Any animal in my care will be treated like my own animals. They will be loved, kept on routine and given anything they will need

“It was so reassuring to know my dog was in such good hands while I was away! Caitlin gave detailed daily updates and was flexible around some unexpected tummy trouble. I highly recommend working with Caitlin!”


“This was our first time using Rover, previously we have only left our animals in the care of immediate family. Ray was outstanding! The pictures that were sent each visit, documented the time we missed with Sofie. I couldn't be more pleased with the care and attention Sofie received from Ray.”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for most of my life. It’s very important to me to provide the best care I can to them! I currently have 4 cats, and I grew up with dogs as pets. I love them both equally! I am currently working full time, but I can pet sit before and after work (8:40 AM - 3:40 PM). Furthermore, my weekends are free! My cats are all indoor cats, but we keep them occupied with lots of toys and have consistent feeding schedule. We had a similar routine with our dogs, taking them for long walks each day.

About: I've grown up with pets my entire life and have had 2 of my own dogs. They both had medical issues so I am very familiar with administering medications and preparing special meals. My home is currently pet-free and I would be so happy to spend time with your dog while you're away. I have plenty of time to spend with your fur baby. I currently work part time and always have Wednesdays and Fridays-Sundays off. I also have some Tuesdays off, and if I do work on Tuesdays it is only from 8-2. Mondays can be discussed. My house has a fully fenced in backyard and I never leave dogs outside unattended. Dogs are welcome to snuggle on my furniture and in bed with me if they like. If your dog is crate trained, feel free to bring their crate or I have a large one they can use. There are no other dogs or children in my home so your dog gets my full attention!

“Lydia was great with my 2 cats. She kept in constant communication with me and made sure I was always in the loop if she had to come a little later than expected. I was nervous leaving my cats with someone else, but they really seemed to like her! Highly recommend- she really does an amazing job.”


“I requested Marine to check in on my two cats while I was away on vacation, and I couldn't be happier with her service! From start to finish, the communication was excellent, giving me peace of mind knowing my fur-babes were in great hands. She not only made sure they were well-fed but also took the time to play with them and give cuddles, keeping them happy and entertained. I received regular updates, including multiple photos on each visit! It's clear she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. I will definitely be requesting her again! Highly recommended!”

“Kaitlyn is one of the most loving and affectionate people you could every meet. She is a huge animal lover and dotes on her pets. In addition to being her friend, I have worked with her in a professional setting and she is responsible, motivated, and makes a conscious effort in everything she does. She would be a phenomenal pet caregiver.”


Brie O.Star Sitter
“Brie is the only person I would ever trust with our dog. She has watched our 3 year old rescue pittie numerous times and has loved her and cared for her as if she were her own. Our girl is a shy and timid rescue dog, and Brie handles her with the extra bit of reassurance that our dog needs with other people. Our dog absolutely adores her and I think sometimes loves her more than she loves us (haha). Earlier this year I gave birth to our daughter and Brie watched our dog the entire time I was in the hospital. It was one less thing I had to worry about, knowing my dog was well loved and taken care of. If you hire Brie to watch your dog, rest assured she will stop at nothing to make sure he/she has the absolute best care possible.”
