“Riley was great to work with - we even had a tricky lockout situation while we were away and Riley worked with us every step of the way to get it resolved. Strongly recommend Riley.”
“Alexandrea was absolutely amazing with our two cats! Communication with her was easy and she sent us pictures everyday of our cats. First time trying rover and she went above and beyond for us. Not only did she take great care of the cats, she even cleared snow when there was a storm while we were away, so above and beyond what she came to do! I would recommend her to anyone for care of your pets while you’re away.”
“My first time working with Camille, all I can say was she did a terrific job looking after my tortie kitty. She was timely with her visits, wrote comments about every visit, and handled every duty around the house we had agreed upon. Camille is a real Pro, the best I have worked with.”
“Great experience with Melinda :)! She made the effort to come beforehand fro a meet and greet and she was great with my cats. It was so nice to be away and not worry about my fur babies :).”
“Rebecca was great to communicate with in advance and during her drop in. We would gladly work with her again!”
“Gabriella has been a true blessing for us this holiday. Having two senior pets with special medical needs, we are constantly worried about them. We were very nervous to leave home, but Gabriella was truly caring, professional, and dedicated. Upon our arrival home, we found Christmas presents for our babies waiting on the table. We are so grateful for the wonderful care our pets received from Gabriella and highly recommend her!”

“Could not recommend Phil anymore! He was the absolute best to our German Shepard”
About: Hi! My name is Jessica and I would love to take care of your pet while you’re away. I have unofficially been a pet sitter for several years. I have been fortunate to have friends and coworkers ask me to help with their pets and since then word of mouth has given me the chance to pet sit a lot more, which I love! I have always loved animals and have had the chance to watch and help out with many dogs, cats, chickens, lizards, and even a couple horses. I have two cats who are my world and I intend to make your pet as much of a priority my own. If you were to hire me I would make sure your pet(s) have a schedule as close to normal as possible. I have no issues staying over with your dog or cat. My favorite thing to do while I dog sit is take them for walks, so that is not an issue at all and I will always make sure your dog is well secured and watched throughout any time outside. I am typically busy Monday - Friday from 7:30 AM - 5 PM which is why I said that I can’t be available full time during weekdays, but I am free all day during weekends. I have no issues with staying over or popping in several times a day if that is what you prefer. Safety for your pet is my #1 goal, but I also am there to spend time with them, play, and take them for walks. I know leaving your pet is stressful for you and them, so I always try to distract them and make sure they get lots of love and attention. I also am more than happy to provide a lot of pictures and updates to ease your mind as well! Unfortunately, my apartment building does not allow pets, not even to visit, so I have no opportunity to board your pet.
“Jeanne is awesome in checking in my two young puppies when I work in the evening. They are a handful but Jeanne is always willing to follow our latest training techniques to control behaviors. We are looking forward to continue to be able to use Jeanne for occasional drop-ins when I go out for a day trip.”

About: I’ve had my own pets or taken care of pets belonging to family and friends for most of my life. I recently retired and am looking to fill my time and make a little money in the process. I’m an Army veteran and worked for NY State for 27 years. My Gizmo passed away 2 years ago. I’m unable to have my own pet right now due to my living situation so the next best thing is to help others and be around their pets. I’m retired and available most days and evenings when I’m not bowling or traveling to visit family. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! I can’t have pets in my current residence but I am available to stop in for a walk or a potty break for your pets. I’m also available to stay in your home for short or long term boarding.
“Amy was fantastic! Henry enjoyed her visits and I would highly recommend her!”
“Anna provided thorough updates and quick responses on our cat. Great visit performance.”
“As a professional dog walker myself for 23 years, I was pretty picky about who I wanted to walk our new puppy on the weekends. Brenna was prompt and enthusiastic, and handled our Rottweiler puppy's antics easily during the meet and greet. It's great knowing we can depend on Brenna to give our puppy a break while we run errands.”
“Alexxis is very responsible She has managed our two dogs very well with one being anxious and high strung Highly recommend!”
“Ava did an amazing job with Rey, my American staffy. Ava took lots of pictures and kept me well informed of how Rey was doing! Would highly recommend ??”
About: Animals of all shapes and sizes hold a special place in my heart and I try to do everything imaginable to give them the happiest life they deserve. I have previously watched family friends dogs, some with special needs and have been asked back time and time again. I take my responsibilities very seriously when caring for other people’s pets and will treat them as if they are my own! I am working on my own home-based bakery (I make pup cakes too!) and just love being able to help wherever possible! Your pet will be given everything they need to live the happiest life!! I currently work full time at a local daycare 7-4 and typically have my weekends mostly free. Sometimes I have bakery events here and there but can always make room for a few drop ins here and there! I can adapt very well to whatever your animals are used to! I know my pets are very used to a schedule and it’s always easiest to keep on that schedule!
About: I have owned and loved dogs and cats all my life, and I can’t wait to get to know yours! I am excited to take your furry friend on my adventures around town. I will walk, run, bike, or skateboard with your dog - whichever will get your dog’s tail wagging the fastest! I also love to spend time outdoors and would be thrilled to have a four-legged companion to accompany me on my hikes. As a bonus, I have played tennis since I was 7 years old, so I am an expert when it comes to playing fetch with tennis balls. I have extensive experience dog-sitting all kinds of dogs and cats, including a large dog with severe anxiety, and I am fully (and happily) able to meet your pet’s needs, whatever they may be! I am fully available any time after 3:30pm when I get off of work every day (I am a carpenter!). I am available any time on the weekends! Whatever safety rules you have for your pets, they will become my safety rules! I am very serious about trust and safety, and I will always make sure you feel comfortable ensuring your pet’s care to me. Whatever your pet needs, let me know!

20. Allegra C.
“Allegra is, without a doubt, the most interested a person can be in dogs. She has tons of experience (with her own dogs and others' dogs) and is consistently trying to find a way to be around dogs. Sometimes, if we go on runs together, she'll insist on running on the side of a passerby with a dog so she can see it a little closer. I would absolutely recommend Allegra to anyone in need of dog-sitting or dog-walking.”
