“Savana has been a godsend for my puppies! I work long hours and didn’t want to put my pets in a kennel. Since our first meet and greet, Savana has been professional, wonderful with my four-legged friends And they look forward to seeing her on every visit.”


About: I’ve been pet sitting since I was about 8 years old I remember helping my mom walk my aunt’s cocker spaniel who we watched very frequently. I also had helped feed and clean litter boxes for my uncle’s cats when I lived with him. From there my love for animals blossomed. I have also been a dog groomer for over 13 years. I currently have a dog, 3 cats and a gecko. I do work full time Wednesday-Sunday but if I’m dog walking I can usually go to your home before work and after work. I can housesit and can stay overnight I would just be at work during the day. Just ask my exact availability and we shall see if we are a good fit!! If I were to come to your home, I would provide the upmost care for them. Just let me know what your pet likes to do during the day and I can flow with their daily schedule.

“I HIGHLY recommend Anastasia to be your fur-child sitter! I will definitely rebook her in the future! I had to go out of the country and had no care for my beloved dog and cats. Frantic, my colleague recommended Rover. I was skeptical because I never used a pet sitter before. But I took the chance and was pleased. Anastasia was very prompt, kind and professional. She listened to what the needs of my pets were and catered to their individual personalities. She sent me frequent pictures and videos of the day and really tended to them. Anastasia was so involved, playful and loving with my them that once I returned, I can tell her presence was missed. She was playful, caring, attentive and energetic with my fur-children. Without hesitation, I HIGHLY recommend Anastasia to take care of your fur-child and I will definitely rebook her in the future!”


“Vicky watch my dog Prince for a week while I was away in that time Print became sick with a cough. Vicky kindly stayed in communication with me as I scheduled a vet visit. Photos were sent daily and Prince had a good time. Her price was slightly lower than other Rover’s which I liked! She did a great job and I would choose her again in the future”


About: Hi I’m Mallory! I genuinely love caring & spending time with animals & I get paid too? AMAZING!! Sign me up!! :) This is my full time job! My schedule is completely open for you! I can accept last minute bookings, late night bookings , whatever you need!! I am energetic & fun but also patient and responsible I have owned & cared for dogs & cats my entire life. I’ve always considered myself a dog person until I got my own cat & fell in love. I love all animals, not only pets but also wildlife, I once had a pet Raccoon named Patches, don’t worry he stayed outside but he was still my buddy & came for his cat food dinner every night! I feel love & compassion for every single animal & I believe there is no such thing as a bad animal. Being an animal lover is a huge part of my identity. I have volunteered at shelters on & off for 10+ years. Through my experience volunteering I have also received dog training by a professional dog trainer. Rescuing stray cats from the streets and finding them loving homes is also a passion of mine! To this date I am very proud to say I have helped so many stray cats and kittens find their forever home! I have fed, walked & cared for every size & every breed of dog/cat you can think of, no matter how sweet or how difficult, I truly believe I have never met a “bad” one. I also have experience adopting & loving senior dogs until their last days. Through adopting & caring for senior dogs/cats I have gained experience in administering medicines, changing diapers & recognizing & providing specialty care catered toward each individual dog. I walk around with my purse filled with cat treats & food to feed the strays around my neighborhood:) They say dogs/cats are amazing judges of character so why not set up a meet and greet with me & let your pet decide :) I am so fortunate to be able to do Dog walking/sitting as my full time job, I have my regular customers that I walk/drop in on through out the day, However I am always accepting new clients! My availability is very open, any day , any time, as early or as late as you need, I am able to arrange my other jobs in a way that I can always fit you in! If my availability says open than the appointment is all yours! I am also able to take appointments at the very last moment most of the time so for all you last minute planners please do message me! I live in Goshen, NY so my arrival time would be based on how far your home is located from this point. I AM NOW ACCEPTING clients in my home! If you would like more information please ask. Meet & greets are always free & you are always welcome to come check out my place beforehand! Same goes for dog walking, drop ins & house sitting at your place , we can schedule a meet & greet before hand just so you can meet me & I can’t meet you & your dog! Making sure you are comfortable is my #1 priority , if you are leaving your dog in my care , I want you to feel at ease and totally comfortable. I know how nerve wracking it can be to leave your pet alone with a stranger so anything I can do to ease your mind and make you feel more comfortable, I will happily do! :) I am currently not providing services out of my home but I do provide house sitting services in your home. House sitting in your pets environment is a great alternative to boarding. Pets are way more comfortable in their home & receive so much more one on one time and attention.

“Teresa like always was very good with communicating. She sent me pics and videos of my dog constantly and asked questions to make sure she was taking care of him correctly. I felt very calm leaving my dog under Teresa’s care!”


“Andrew watched my dog while I went away for a work trip and did an exceptional job. He sent updates and continued my dogs training while I was away. Andrew is very dependable and I will be using his services again”

About: I'm Jonathan (though I mainly go by Jack). For years, I've been providing top-quality pet care in the New York area. I put in the time to get to know your pet's unique needs. I take my responsibility to care for your animal very seriously and will do whatever it takes to help them (and you!) feel safe and happy. Trust me to be there for your beloved pet when you can't be! My schedule is currently very flexible. I'm available for daytime drop-ins, walks, feeding, etc. for dogs and cats. Very open for overnight stays, though I may need to go visit other clients. I can't take pets at my home, but I'm willing to do whatever it takes to care for your pet at yours. I do a quick "get to know you" session before agreeing to a new client, so that I can meet you and your animal, get acquainted with your home, ask important questions about your and your pet's needs, and make sure that I understand exactly how to give your pet the highest level of care!

“My two Jack Russell’s had a great time with Shannon while she did a 5 day house sit with them. Shannon regularly kept us up to date on their wellbeing with pictures and texts. She also was able to help us out for an extra day when our flight was delayed returning home and ensured the dogs were still taken care of while we were delayed getting home. The house looked great when we got back and we had two happy pups. Thanks again Shannon!”

“Bridget did a wonderful job house sitting for us over a weekend and taking care of our dogs. She provided very attentive care and sent great photos and updates. Highly recommend!”


“We could not be happier with Jade! She came to our rescue when a kennel reservation fell through and stayed in our home for four nights with our eight month old Samoyed puppy and three year old bengal cat while we traveled out of state to a family wedding. Jade exudes an immense amount of compassion and sensitivity, as well as the utmost professionalism. Her communication is awesome, and her experience/knowledge as a petsitter and caretaker of animals really shows. She took remarkable care of our beloved cat and dog, and just as importantly she cared beautifully for our house while we were away. This was our first time working with a pet sitter, and actually opening our home to someone while we weren’t there, which was totally nerve-wracking! We are so grateful that Jade was the person we connected with.”

Vicky watch my dog Prince for a week while I was away in that time Print became sick with a cough. Vicky kindly stayed in communication with me as I scheduled a vet visit. Photos were sent daily and Prince had a good time. Her price was slightly lower than other Rover’s which I liked! She did a great job and I would choose her again in the future

Jade Marie was very helpful, kind, and understanding in the whole process. She was extremely helpful since I was coming from out of town for an event and needed someone to watch my dogs. She understood what was needed with both of them, and not only did the things need per instructions given, but also took them on several walks, and also sent me a bunch of pictures to update me throughout the day! I'm super grateful to have found a great person on Rover to watch my dogs! I highly recommend Jade Marie!

Alexis was a lifesaver! My job sent me on an assignment across the country with only 3 days notice and Alexis was able to watch my dog while I was gone, even with the short notice. She regularly kept me updated on how things were going and sent pictures as well. She was great with my dog and followed all of his trainers instructions as well! I would definitely recommend Alexis to anyone looking for a sitter for their dog and will absolutely be using her services again in the future!

We were so pleased to have had Greg care for Boone & Gracie while we were away. Greg was very affectionate toward our pups and as a result they were both very happy upon our return. Greg is highly responsible as one dog requires medication twice daily and very conscientious about our home while we were away. We are looking forward to calling Greg again the next time we have to travel as we know Gracie & Boone will be in good hands!

I’ll start out by saying it is hard for me to leave my dog anywhere especially with someone new. We needed to go away for the weekend for a wedding. When doing the meet and greet with Leslie I can see she has a passion for watching dogs. She is very caring. She did a great job with both my dog and my brother’s dog. I did not have any issues. She left the house the way we left it upon leaving. She even brought in a heavy Amazon package that was on the doorstep (didn’t even expect her too).
