About: I grew up in a veterinary clinic and I am currently in my last year of vet school. I have extensive experience including emergency and neonatal care. My schedule is variable in clinical year. Some weeks I have off, some I’ll be in a rotation full time. Generally I will be available in the evenings and on the weekends. I have 2 dogs and a cat at home. I try to provide for the physical and mental wellbeing of my pets and any pets in my care; accounting for healthy nutrition, exercise and enrichment.

7. Andrew B.
About: Hello, I got a puppy during the pandemic and lost over 100lbs walking my Rosie! My girlfriend’s dog is a little old man so I am used to short slow walks and long high energy walks/jogs. Sometimes our cat joins us! I would love to chat and help you with your dog and cat needs! I work full time at a nursing home so I will be available in the evenings and on weekends to walk and/or pet sit for you! Exercise and enrichment are pillars of pet health. I’m passionate about safely letting dogs be dogs and getting outside to sniff and explore! Safety and trust with your pets comes first and then we are well on our way to having fun!

9. Andrea C.

““I can’t recommend enough! She took amazing care of our dog while we were away for a week, providing attentive and loving care in our home. We came back to a happy, well-cared-for pet. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy and truly caring, Andrea is the one!” Nothing beats leaving my lil boy home to be cared for while on vacation vs leaving them in a strange cold boarding space . Homecare is the best care . Xoxoxoxo”


10. Kyla R.
“Kyla has been a pet owner her entire life and has taken care of dogs, cats, fish, and more. She has experience caring for animals with special needs as well, such as working with a blind dog and a dog with cancer undergoing chemotherapy. As a Rover sitter myself, I am confident that Kyla will provide exceptional care for your animals.”




11. Yaniris H.
“Yaniris has been such a blessing to my family by taking such good care of our baby Leo! Leo is an (almost) 2 year old rescue Pitt puppy who we got from an amazing shelter called Adopt-a-Dog in upstate NY. I was referred to Yaniris from a friend whom she’s puppysat for as well. My family and I couldn’t be happier with her loving, caring and extremely attentive nature towards Leo. He had a pretty rough start in life from what the shelter told us, so we are so happy that we found someone that makes us feel so comfortable when we have to leave the house for a few days. They are two peas in a pod when they’re together and he has grown so attached to her that they are pretty much inseparable. We highly recommend her services, she’d be an incredible asset to your team!”

“Juliana was a wonderful sitter for our cat while we were away on a trip. She was very responsive to messages, flexible with schedules, and very caring to our little guy. I would highly recommend Juliana and look forward to using her again in the future!”


14. Madeleine K.

“Madeleine cared for my two dogs with grace. One is a senior pup and the one younger pup suffers with social anxiety. Both of my dogs love Madeleine and I think it is due to her genuine love for dogs. Highly recommend!!”


15. Devon W.

“Devon ensured that my cats were well taken care of. She provided pictures and updates every day she stopped by and made sure the cats had some play time as well. Thank you Devon!”

“Katherine provided outstanding care for my pups. She gave me to updates on how they were doing. I am looking forward to her taking care of them again. I highly recommend!”




17. Flory S.
About: I am a mom of two girls and I love animals. I have walked and cared for both dogs and cats. I will treat your furry family member(s) as if they were my own, big or small. I have a great love and compassion for all animals. I currently have four cats of my own and have had over 5 dogs in total. I would love to care for your dog or cat with much love and dedication. I am new to the area and would love to get to know my neighbors as well. People who know me tend to say that I have more compassion to animals than I do people, so you know I will go above and beyond to make sure your dog or cat is in the best care.


18. Emily D.
“Any family that chooses Emily D. to watch their pet will receive high quality care from a loving individual who adores animals and always gives them the best possible care. For years, Emily has watched my cats for me when I go on vacation. When my cats were old and taking daily medication, I was happy to know that I had someone like Emily caring for them. She currently works as a Vet Tech and is very knowledgeable. I have often called her with questions regarding my cats health. She has always been extremely helpful. She is great with all animals - even those who can be difficult. I currently have her come to my house to clip my cats claws because they will not let me do it. Emily is able to do it for me and while my pets don't love it, she is very gentle with them and gets the job done. She is great with animals and I know she will be an asset to Rover.”




19. Keith M.


“Keith was great! He sent me pics and updates throughout his entire stay. My cat seemed happy and enjoyed playing with him. It was great knowing a fellow cat lover was watching her while I was away.”


20. Rosemary L.
“Rosemary has watched my two cats multiple times and is a wonderful dog mom herself. She is attentive, loving, and playful with all animals I've seen interact with her. Rosemary is also very professional and a great time manager! Always on time, detail-oriented, and very thoughtful. She would make a great addition to Rover's walking team.”
