“So grateful I found Joanne! She checked in on my two cats while we were away for the weekend. They took to her right away. Joanne included pictures with her updates and brought them toys to play with. I would highly recommend Joanne.”


“Ryane was great! Our cat received lots of love and attention and he seemed well taken care of while we were gone. We also received little updates and pictures daily, which we really appreciated. I highly recommend Ryane!”


“Vivienne is the best! She’s so detailed with her visit notes. You can tell she just loves animals. She was prompt and precise. My cat loved her! She also came through on a last minute sitting, she’s a lifesaver. Will certainly rebook with her in the future!!”


“Julie was wonderful with my 4 cats. They were a little shy and she was very patient. I had piece of mind while I was away knowing they were in excellent hands. I’m thrilled to have found her!”


About: I’ve had dogs my whole life from small to big, Terriars, Rottweilers, German Shepard, etc. I currently have a yellow lab named Rory. I have experience with all age dogs from puppies and elderly dog. I currently work full time 8-4:30 on weekday so I would be willing to come early morning, late afternoons, or nights. I am free anytime on weekends. I have an overly friendly Labrador at home who is very well trained. He goes on a walk at least once a day if not more but absolutely loves his big side yard where he gets to sunbathe! He has his spot on the couch where he naps most of the day away.

“Eileen was great! She took care of my kitten (Charlie) for 20 days and updated me with pictures and information about him throughout his stay with her. At first she was slow to respond to my messages before taking Charlie in but was great during his stay. I would be happy to recommend her to anyone.”


About: Since childhood my family has always had dogs. At one point we had 4 dogs at once, 3 pit bulls and a lab. Now, at 35 years old and married, my husband and I have rescued 3 angel pit bulls, Esme, Umi, and Luna, and a black cat, Jax. They are our whole world! Now that I am home full time, I would love to help others with pet care needs because I know how hard it could be to find someone that is not only trustworthy, but experienced! I am currently home full-time and I wake up early (around 5am everyday)! Any day during the week works for me and weekends if enough notice is given! We have an invisible fence at our home for our 3 dogs. Our cat is an indoor cat only and has his own room upstairs to get away from the dogs and have some peace and quiet if he chooses! I’d be willing to walk your dog or just hangout on the couch if they are the potato type!

“Exceptional sitter for our 2 dogs while we went on vacation to Arizona! Very thorough, thoughtful & prompt! Will definitely use Kim next time we need a sitter!”


About: Having pets since I was 7, I have long understood the importance of animal care. Since I was in high school, friends, family, and neighbors have asked for my help in pet sitting and house sitting. Over the years I have taken care of horses, goats, sheep, rodents, reptiles, insects, fish, birds, and of course dogs and cats. Needless to say, I am not afraid of any animal and believe all living creatures deserve the top quality care. I have two years of experience majoring in Wildlife Care, and have taken many courses in animal husbandry. This, along with my Dog and Cat first aid certification through the Red Cross, has made me fantastic at caring for the medical aspect of animal care. I can administer medication and handle emergencies with a clear head and a focus on the animal's well being. In the past, I have taken care of my own elderly/disabled dogs as well as those of my friends and family. This includes dogs in hospice care that have needed to be carried. While I have less experience with puppies than I do elderly dogs, I have raised and trained my own current dog from 1 y.o.. I am not afraid of the mess or energy level of puppies and puppy teeth don't bother me! I am a barista and am returning to school in the fall. With odd hours for a regular job, I know I can lend my services to someone who needs it! I take care of animals in the way the owner sees best, whether that's yard time, or walks, or both! I have no problem crating a dog, cleaning up after an animal, and giving medications or food.

“Lori is a great sitter. Gracie (the cat) pulled her antics as normal and Lori was concerned with her well being. Thank you for the great overall concern and the cute pictures she took. Lori is in my book for future bookings. Thank you again!”


About: Throughout my life, I have been blessed to have rescued numerous dogs from various situations. Since I was a child, my family has had over eight dogs that I loved and cared for with my whole heart. At times, we have had four dogs in the house at once so I am capable of handling any type of stress with animals. I truly love dogs so much and want to spread my love to other animals in my community. I currently have two boys named Googz and Bubba who are both rescues. They are my life. I’d love to spread some more love to your pups! I am a gigging musician so my week days are my best times to check in or walk your pets but I can make anything work. I can also occasionally spend the night with your dogs with enough notice. Caring for my dogs is my biggest priority in life. They are the center of my day everyday and I go above and beyond to keep them safe, happy and healthy. I’d be willing to walk your dog, take them to the park, or just hangout on the couch if they are the potato type! No dog is too big for me to handle and I have tons of experience with anxious/fearful dogs.

About: I have 2 dogs and have raised animals my entire life. My dogs currently live on my property in upstate NY. My full attention goes into playing and watching the safety of my clients pets. I Worked as a dog handler in NYC at Bath & Biscuits. I love doing this. Currently working part time. I make my schedule and have amazing availability.

About: Hi, Everyone! My name is Cara. Thank you for visiting my page. My strong admiration for animals has only grown more with the more animals I meet and as a result, it brings me genuine happiness. It is a rewarding experience to be able to take care of any animal that needs it while their owner is away. Since starting Rover in August 21’, I’ve had 10+ repeat clients and have established great friendships with families/people in the community as a result. I have a M-F teaching position 8am-4pm. A half hour lunch long lunch where I can leave to care for your furries in the middle of the day depending on the distance. Dogs will be crated when I’m not home. A little history: I grew up with a miniature schnauzer (Zoie) whom towards the end of her life, needed constant supervision and was administered medicine 3x/ day, grooming/washing daily. I was always there to comfort her until the end of her life and spoiled her beyond belief. Myself and my family provided care to my mini schnauzer for over 12 years. As a child, I never had a dog sitter to send updates, pictures/videos for my sweet Zoie when my family would travel, so I strongly understand the importance of quick and reliable communication/sending updates while you’re away. Experience - administering medicine/injections - cats, big dogs, small dogs, senior animals, special needs pets, pigs, cows, chickens. -exercise/run with your pet -hospice/end of life care (Repositioning every hour, hand feeding, massages, cooking packs, frozen bone broth snacks on warmer days, the list goes on) Pets and animals deserve to be spoiled but most importantly, they deserve to be loved. I have a white fur baby (Minnie). Shes a loyal, sweet and well behaved dog, I’m so lucky and thankful for her every day as she brings me so much happiness. She stays at home with her other best friend, my significant other while I’m away. If you think I’d be a good fit for your fur baby or have any questions or concerns, I’m here to answer them all and hope you will consider me! I work M-F through a nearby school, being able to provide supervision to animals while I am home. Check my calendar for the most up to date availability, please 😌 House sitting: Provide overnight care, 24/7 care, other responsibilities to care for your home while you are away (watering plants, picking up mail, cleaning, etc.) Always love to send picture and video updates 2-3x/a day of your furry one to ensure you are comfortable and know that your animal is well cared for and happy in my care!

“Perfect match for my cats!”


“So far she has been wonderful. She was there with a short notice. With me going to the hospital with a stroke. She was there when needed. Very highly recommended.”
