“Erika did a wonderful job with my older, blind, indoor kitty, and the feral cats that I take care of outdoors. She sent me pictures of all of them each time, gave me updates to let me know how they were eating, and the medicine that my one kitty needed to take each day. She also picked up the mail and newspaper for us daily. I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs a great cat sitter!”
“I love having Jenna watch my cats. It’s clear that she spends meaningful time with them and that they adore her. She’s very responsible and a great communicator. Thank you, Jenna!”
About: Hi my name is Oz! I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats since I was a kid! I grew up with big dogs like German Shepard’s, Rottweiler’s, Huskey’s and so much more! I even took care of disable dogs such as blind ones. Honestly, big dogs are my favorite but I love all animals at the end of the day. I am currently on summer break, so I have a very flexible schedule and can accommodate pet care throughout the day, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, weekends, and holidays. I am reliable, punctual, and happy to work around each pet owner’s needs. I live in a gated apartment. My unit is a studio so there is not much room for pets unfortunately. However, there’s a bunch of nearby trials.
“I’m so happy that I found Karen! She did a wonderful job taking care of my two cats. She sent so many photos and really made me feel comfortable leaving them in her care.”
About: I’m a nanny and frequently work with the families with pets as well. I have two dogs of my own and have experience providing training as well. I work part time and will be able to check in frequently or provide walks for your pets. I work in the mornings but have plenty of time in the afternoons and evenings I would prefer to pet sit in your home. I have one dog in my home and although he is friendly, he prefers to have his own space and plenty of attention from his humans. That said, I will stop by frequently to walk, play, and take care of your animals as they need.
About: I offer reliable, compassionate dog care backed by a lifetime of hands-on experience. Having grown up around dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments, I understand their needs, behaviors, and the importance of patience and trust. Whether it’s daily walks, drop-in visits, or extended care, I treat every dog like family, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and well-cared for while you’re away. My goal is simple: give you peace of mind and give your dog the attention, exercise, and affection they deserve. I'm currently working part-time and am looking to fill the gaps in my schedule with some time well spent, loving and playing with some furry friends! I am also flexible for overnight stays if worked out with ample time in advance! I tailor my care to each pet’s routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free in their own environments. For walks, I make sure your dog gets safe, engaging exercise at their own pace, along with fresh water and plenty of attention before I leave. I am also willing to take your dog to a dog park for some interactive time with others, if this is a suitable/desirable option for you. For overnight stays, I maintain their normal schedule as closely as possible, feeding, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions you provide, while also keeping your home tidy and secure. Having grown up around dogs, I’m attentive to their behavior and needs, so you can feel confident they’re in capable, caring hands while you’re away!
About: I have over 20 years of experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities, with long-term dog sitting experience on Cape Cod, MA and in Northeast Ohio. I’m also a devoted pug parent myself, so I understand firsthand the importance of routines, comfort, and the little quirks that make each dog unique. My partner and I recently relocated to the Buffalo area for his new job, and I’m excited to establish new client relationships and meet fellow dog lovers in the community. Dog sitting is my second job, and I work full-time—entirely remotely—for an Executive Search firm. This allows me to maintain a very flexible schedule and be home throughout the day. At this time, my preference is for house sitting in your home, where I can help keep your dog’s routine consistent in a familiar environment. Because I work remotely, I’m able to provide all-day, round-the-clock companionship while I work, with plenty of breaks for walks, playtime, feeding, and snuggles (with the occasional quick visit to check on my own puggies, of course!). I treat every dog as if they were my own and prioritize safety, comfort, and attentive care. I look forward to meeting you and your pup soon! I work full-time and entirely remotely for an Executive Search firm, and dog sitting has been my second job for as long as I can remember. I’ve found that remote work and dog sitting complement each other perfectly, allowing me to provide steady, round-the-clock companionship rather than just a few drop-in visits each day. I prefer to house sit and stay in your home, essentially moving in and working remotely while keeping your dog company and maintaining their normal routine. This approach is especially helpful for dogs with separation anxiety or those who need more frequent potty breaks. While I generally keep a typical 9–5 schedule, my workday is flexible, and I can take breaks as needed. I do have occasional meetings during the day and, depending on proximity, may step out briefly to check on my own dogs—but your pet’s care, comfort, and safety are always my top priority. I believe the best care comes from keeping your dog’s routine as close to yours as possible, all in the comfort of their own home. I typically like to schedule a meet-and-greet before a sit so I can get to know you and your dog, learn their daily routine, and familiarize myself with the home and surrounding area. I always recommend sharing a simple “guide” or list of your dog’s schedule—feeding, potty breaks, medication, walks, playtime, and any special preferences. I’ve cared for dogs with all types of personalities, and understanding their quirks and behavioral patterns helps ensure a smooth, stress-free experience. For example, I like to know how they do on walks, whether they’re an escape artist or more of a Velcro pup, and how they react around other dogs. When it comes to walks, I’m comfortable walking two small dogs at the same time, and since it’s just me, I prefer one larger dog at a time. In addition to pet care, I’m also happy to help with light house-sitting tasks while you’re away, such as watering plants, bringing in mail and packages, and keeping an eye on the home. My goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible, knowing both your dog and your home are being well cared for.
About: Ive had three cats and two dogs in my life. Currently I have two cats and they are my world. In many instances I've had a cat or dog that doesn't like anyone besides family come up and become my new best friend. Also have been trusted to watch multiple friends animals while on vacation because they loved our time together more than anyone else. During the week it would be a drop in sitting with minimal overnight stays after work. Which means its not out the question but not consistent. Weekends I have more flexibility for overnight stays. My cats are indoors, fed a heathly diet, and stimulated. While at the clients house its dependent on the type of animal and if the animal requires special care.
About: Hi! I'm Jackie. I’ve always loved pets and have hands-on experience caring for dogs at every stage of life. I currently have a 17-year-old dog, so I’m very comfortable with senior care, including slower walks, medication routines, extra patience, and gentle attention. I also have a 3-year-old dog, which means I’m just as familiar with energetic pups who need playtime, structure, and consistency. As a teacher, patience, responsibility, and attentiveness come naturally to me. I’m great at reading behavior cues, sticking to routines, and making pets feel safe and comfortable in my care. Whether your pet is young and playful or older and needs a little extra love, I treat every animal like they’re my own. I can’t wait to meet and care for your fur babies! I work Monday through Friday from 8:00–3:30, which allows me to provide pet care before and after work. I’m available for morning feedings and walks, and evening care including walks, playtime, and cuddles. Weekends, school breaks, and holidays I have more flexibility. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medications, leash preferences, and house rules. I’m attentive to behavior cues and make sure pets feel calm, secure, and loved while in my care. In your home, I respect your space and work to maintain your pet’s normal routine so they feel comfortable and stress-free. In my home, pets are supervised, given plenty of attention, and cared for in a safe, clean environment. I’m mindful of doors, gates, leashes, and surroundings at all times.
About: Give your furry friends the jolly, experienced care they deserve! Retired and ready to pamper your pets with love and attention! I am retired and have time. I'm currently retired. I have time to care for pets, walking, checking in, as well as overnights! I have availability most days and times throughout the week. I have a fenced yard and no pets so my home and backyard have space and comfort for your pet. I am also open to caring for your pet at your home if your pet is more comfortable that way.
About: I’ve worked in emergency vet med for 5 years and I’m comfortable with everything from reptiles, to Great Danes. I personally do several dog sports with my border collies and I’m always up for learning the special needs and quirks of your fur babies I currently work full time but my holiday, evenings and weekends are free to love your fur babies. My work schedule is done far in advanced so my off days can be made available! I’m available for walks and drop in services from your home. Caring for your pet while your away in their own home allows me to keep their schedule the same and cause less anxiety
About: I have pet sit for all different sizes and kinds of dogs for family and family friends since I was young. I love taking care of dogs so much! I currently only go to school so all my extra time would be dedicated to your puppies and dogs. I would rather spend all my time with your dogs on my free time than anything else!!!! In my clients home I would take the dog out to use the bathroom never take my eyes off of them and let them run so runs as much as they want until they would like to go inside and I will make sure they go for a walk and drink plenty of water and fed and are relaxed just in time for you to be home.
“Jeff (and his wife Vicki) were awesome at taking care of our fur babies! They went above and beyond to make sure that all of the cats were okay and they had everything they needed while we were away. Highly recommend!”
“We have gotten Lauren’s service in long and short term. She is reliable and caring to our oreo cookie. Our dog loves her. I can tell she has been very nice to our dog. I recommend her.”
“Alisha was great with communication. She asked any questions she felt would be important. I also had to ask her to feed them last minutes because plans had changed she quickly responded and pinched in to help out. Definitely would be a pleasure to stop in again with my furbabies.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - North Tonawanda
Jen provided drop-in visits and daily walks with my German Shepherd while I was out of town. He can be a little intimidating with his barking when someone new is on his property, but Jen was unfazed and just took her time meeting him. He immediately warmed up to her and they did great together. Besides exercise and feeding/watering, Jen administered eye drops and pills every day, lots of belly rubs and play time. She was punctual, trustworthy, and provided updates on all the things a pet parent needs to know, to be sure their pet is getting high quality care. Highly recommended!

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in North Tonawanda choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code.

Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
