Samantha L.

“Andrew was on time and totally respectful. He was very calm with our hyper puppy and did a great job of letting the pup come/warm up to him. We had a few requests (sitting at sidewalks and heeling by people) that make walking the pup a little more work. Andrew was more than happy to work with all of our requests. Definitely recommend!”

Synnove V.

About: Hi! My name’s Misa and I’ve been an animal lover since I was a kid. Once my family got our first dog when I was 8 years old, we were inseparable. She was my partner in crime~ Now I have a cat of my own and he owns my heart! He’s pretty food motivated so I clicker trained him, and he knows about 10 tricks :D He also has some health issues so I’m familiar with giving cats medication. I recently graduated with my master’s from the UR and I’m still in the process of looking for a job. Which means my schedule is super flexible to hang out with your pet! I’m detail oriented, reliable, and respectful of your space and your pets~ I'm currently on the job hunt after finishing my master's degree so my schedule is very flexible to accommodate drop-ins in the morning or afternoon as well as the evening~ I'll do my best to adhere to your pet's normal routine and of course be respectful of their boundaries. I'll follow any instructions given and reach out if any further clarification is needed!

About: I have been providing dog and cat care for friends and family over 30 years. I am very attentive to animal emotional and physical needs. I am currently unemployed and available at any time with reasonable advanced notice. I can do overnight or day sitting as well as potty break/walking visits. I have plenty of outdoor space to take pets on leashed walks. I also enjoy taking dogs on nature hikes with difficulty based on age and ability.

About: Hi! My Name is Sam I’ve had pets my entire life and for the last four years, I’ve started caring for others I recently just joined Rover and am excited to be able to help care for more animals while their families are away. I have experience caring for puppies, dogs with special needs, and of all different sizes and breeds. Growing up, I had a Pitbull, German Shepherd, and a Chihuahua. I also grew up with a cat that had special needs and rescued a litter of kittens and provided all necessary medical care to the four kittens to ensure they were healthy and able to be adopted to great homes. From pet sitting, long or short walks, and boarding I’ve got experience with it all! My goal is to make sure your animal enjoys their stay away from home and is as comfortable as possible. I will maintain any schedules you have for your pet, administer medications if needed, and of course give your pet extra love and attention during your time away. Your pet will get lots of walks, cuddles, and attention. They have free range of the home unless requested from pet owners we do not crate any pets in our care, and we work from home your pet will never be alone! Daycare drop off and pickup hours are between 6 am and 7 pm. Any time after 7 pm would need to be booked as boarding and pickup for the following morning. I offer extended stays as well.

Staying home and just being a companion to them is of course a totally legitimate need and an easy ask as well. My top priority is their comfort: and we can discuss that in detail so you know your and their needs will be met.

“Barbara has been a blessing to me and my golden retriever. My mom passed away about a month ago and she watched over the dog while I was at work so I was in a situation where if I couldn’t create a life for my dog during the hours I’m away from home I would have to think of giving her up and that would have been devastating. Barbara agreed to come out twice a day to take care of Cassidy and she has been the most dependable, caring, and compassionate person to my beloved dog. She was so patient with Cassidy, she was going through a big adjustment with the loss of my mom. Barbara truly spent a lot of time establishing a bond with her and slowly they have developed a nice routine of playing in the backyard. They relax in the sun, play ball and with all her toys. I am very thankful to Barbara for the dependability, her caring nature and the smile on my dog each day I come home let’s me know I chose the right service and the perfect person to care after my dog. Thank you Barbara!”

About: I’ve grown up with all kinds of pets! My family owned an English Mastiff breeding and showing business. We had 5 mastiffs and they were all my best friends. I also had 4 cats. I’ve always been the go-to pet sitter for friends and family. I’ve watched all different animals of different sizes, ages, and needs. I will be happy to send updates and pictures! I’ve recently lost my old dog (Rex) that I cared for and I miss having pets around. My happiest self comes out when I’m with animals! Feel free to contact me with any questions at any time! I’m available on the weekends now for boarding and drop-in visits since I work full time Monday-Friday. I can do some drop-ins and walks on weekday early mornings and evenings as well! My home has a fenced in yard, mounted food and water bowls, a dog bed, dog gates on every stairwell, and I even have extra dog food. There are stairs to get into my house, but I used to carry my old mastiff up and down them so it should be no problem for me.

“Meredith was great! She had excellent communication with me, she was reliable/timely and my dog loved her! I will definitely use her again when the need arises.”

Carrie M.

“Michelle had been fantastic with both my dogs, will definitely be booking again!”
