“Kendra was so lovely to work with - she was friendly, understanding, and communicative. She was great about checking in with regular updates, and she took excellent care of our dogs and our home while we were away. Would definitely love to work with her again!”

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up with three schnauzers and have over 5 years of experience caring for dogs of all kinds. From pups to senior dogs, shy pups like Luna, playful rescues like Moose, and spunky dogs like Pippa, I have loved getting to know them all. I have experience with feeding, administering medications, and maintaining consistent daily routines. My patient and attentive approach helps me connect with all types of dogs. I love giving them plenty of playtime, cuddles, and walks; one wag at a time 🐾 As a recent college graduate, I have a remote job that gives me the flexibility to work from home. I can take dogs on walks during my breaks or stay with them at home. I am available during the weekdays and weekends to ensure your dog has consistent attention, companionship, and care whenever you need it. Every dog I care for becomes part of my family. I provide walks, playtime, and plenty of cuddles, making sure they have a safe, comfortable space to relax. I follow their usual routines, whether that’s lounging on their couch, resting in their crate, or engaging in activities. I’m happy to help with anything that makes them feel most at home, including discussing any medication needs in advance to ensure their care is safe and consistent.

“Emalyn was great - she was communicative, neat and clean, helped us out when our travel plans changed, and most importantly kept our dog happy.”

“Diana was fantastic and we would 100% book her again. Our two dogs took to her quickly at our initial meeting, which put me at great ease. She stayed in our home for 3 nights with our 11 month old puppy and our 14 year old dog. They both have completely different personalities and needs. Diana sent us videos and photos of the dogs, and little updates each day. The house was also well taken care of and looked as if no one had been here. We were able to enjoy our trip without worry and knew the dogs were in good hands. I would definitely recommend her for anyone looking for a sitter.”

“Kristi was amazing with our crew !! She knew we had just taken in our Gracie as a rescue pug and gave her all the extra love and snuggles that she needed to feel safe and loved ....she spent lots of extra time in our home to ensure they didn't feel our absence even working remotely at our place which was great for our pugs/cats. She kept us informed of daily events and sent lots of snuggle snaps which made us feel better. Kristi even left us homemade biscotti for our return home. I can say with full confidence that Kristi is motivated by love of animals and helping others...we will most certainly hire her back to our home for all our Rover needs :)”

“Julie is incredibly kind with Romina and treats her as if she were her own cat. She kept me updated with photos throughout the stay, which gave me so much peace of mind. She made sure Romina was well fed, spent time playing with her, and even slept beside her. It was clear that Romina was loved and cared for the entire time. I’m so grateful and would absolutely trust Julie with Romina again.”

“Adriana does such a great job managing our two younger (read: energetic!) dogs while protecting our elder dog from their antics and still making sure all three have what they need to be happy and well. It's such a blessing to be able to leave town without a single worry, knowing they are in such good hands.”

“Marie was wonderful with Bailey. We were away for long stretch and Maria sent many photos and videos which helped being away less stressful. Maria was very communitive and respectful. I would not hesitate to ask Maria to take care of our Bailey.”

“Riley is great! He met with our Poppy girl and even with her being such a leash reactive dog and very shy, he chose to sit her. I’m so grateful for him. She did great with him and he was giving us updates regularly. Thanks Riley!”

“Macenzie was absolutely wonderful with our pup! She was super communicative, sent photos throughout the day & kept us informed with her coming & going though it was not requested. Left the house is wonderful shape as well! Highly recommend !”

About: I’ve had pets since I was a child. Dogs, cats, rodents, reptiles, birds - you name it. I’ve always been an animal lover and even wanted to be a veterinarian until I found out was euthanasia is. In my adolescence, I began pet sitting and volunteering with the SPCA (where we adopted all of our pets); small and big dogs, and sometimes multiple at a time. I started to experiment with training and enjoyed teaching tricks and obedience commands. When I turned 19, I inherited my family dog, Rocco, and we became best friends. My favorite memories from those years are taking him to parks and reserves across New York State. In 2025, he got sick and I learned a lot from taking care of him through the end of his life. It was important to me that he felt like a happy, special dog during his last days because he filled my life with so much joy. The day before his euthanasia, I invited everyone who knew him to celebrate his life. He was showered in presents and treats and cuddles and surrounded by humans he loved. Animals share such unique bonds with us. Now, I am looking for opportunities to share my love of animals through Rover. I hope you consider me as your next pet sitter. I am available! My best times are evenings and weekends, with sporadic availability midday during the week. I work 8-4 Monday through Thursday at a local farm collective in Kirkville and a community garden in South Syracuse. In my free time, I enjoy making art in all kinds of media and being outside. I am looking to spend my time with animals and make their lives happy and bright! Trust and safety is my utmost priority. Through many years of being around different animals, I learned the important of an initial bond based in trust and respect. I hold myself with strength and create an energy of a safe and inviting environment. I am able to gauge an animal’s personality and demeanor, and adjust accordingly. For pets that love to play, I am always happy to bring out my goofy and fun-loving side. For more reserved companions, I enjoy taking things slow and doing calmer activities. Most of all, a pet’s joy and comfort is my number one goal!

“Nick was great in watching my dog, Remy, for over a week. He stayed at my apt, left everything clean, and made significant efforts to make Remy feel comfortable when I was away. Initially, I was nervous to leave my dog with a stranger but Nick's communication throughout his stay made me feel at ease. Would highly recommend his services to other dog owners.”

“We had an excellent experience with Yelitza as dog sitter and would happily book with her again. From the very beginning, she was incredibly communicative, sending frequent updates and lots of photos, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. What impressed us most was how quickly our dogs warmed up to her during the meet and greet. One of our dogs is extremely shy and nervous around new people, so seeing Richard immediately comfortable with our sitter was remarkable and spoke volumes about her calm, caring demeanor. She also went above and beyond throughout the stay. Not only did she take wonderful care of our dogs, but she cleaned up after them without being asked and even brought in packages that arrived while we were away. Those thoughtful extra touches were such a pleasant surprise. We returned home to happy, well-cared-for dogs and felt completely confident that they were in great hands. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring pet sitter.”

“Rebecca was great, super communicative and flexible to make our schedules work for housesitting. Nacho is very happy and I would definitely rebook and recommend!”

“Hannah is fantastic!!! She was communicative, caring, and on top of it while taking care of my 2 dogs. Two things worth noting: 1. one day she came home and discovered one of the dogs had eaten a Reese’s peanut butter cup. And she immediately called me to see how I wanted to deal with the situation 2. She came and went as if no one had stayed in the house. Everything is just as I left it, and the dishwasher was running. Dogs love her, and she sent me so many photos! Will DEFINITELY be hiring her again.”

About: I've been taking care of animals since 7th grade. My family had their own dog and I used to care for animals around the neighborhood including cats and other animals. I take care of my former co workers dogs and my dad's dog. I'm a very active person, so I love to play outside and go for walks. I work as a teaching assistant full time and school gets out at 2:15 so I have plenty of time in the afternoon most days and could always take time off if needed for a long weekend. Plus school breaks I have plenty of time. I live in an apartment that has small dog parks outside. I'm very comfortable with letting dogs out in fenced in areas and taking them on leash for walks.

“Kara bonded with my cat, which is not easy to do, but important to my cat's and my peace of mind! She was great at communicating and sending updates & pics. She took good care of my home. Kara is an interesting person also!”

“Molly was fantastic! She communicated well, she sent daily updates, and our dogs seemed so happy with her stay. Can't recommend Molly enough!”

“John did a fantastic job watching our lively golden retriever, Ranger. He took him for outings and fun things other than just walks. John stayed in our home and was respectful and treated it as if it were his own! I highly recommend John for any pet care.”

“Tyler did an awesome job with our 2 high maintenance Border Collies who are rarely left at home. They were well cared for and extremely happy upon our return. Tyler also house-sat and everything was in perfect order. We will definitely call Tyler again.”
