“Cammie was fantastic! Responsible and communicative, I had no worries entrusting my senior dog to her care. He took to her immediately and I felt completely confident he was in good hands while I was away.”
“Chelsea was a blessing! She made our Senior Guy so happy! She went out of her way to treat him like the Prince that he is. Chelsea went above and beyond! We will surely miss her!”

“Amoreena was great! She was very flexible and communicative before and during her stay. She took our dogs on long hikes and snuggled on the couch, and when we got home they seemed super relaxed and happy. Amoreena also diligently watched our chickens and kept us updated on possible chicks hatching. We will definitely call her again and highly recommend her!”

“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 :)”

“Thank you Margaret - Larry is still talking about the great night he had with you! Margaret is a dog whisper. Larry learn some new tricks and was well taken care of. She is highly recommended!”

“Kara was great with my dogs. I have a grumpy old lady and a young and hyper cuddle butt. Kara was took excellent care of both of them. She watched them in our house and was also an excellent house guest. I would absolutely recommend her and will use her again.”

“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.”

“Riley took great care of our great dane while we were out of town. He texted us everyday letting us know how our dog was. I would highly recommend Riley to watch your dog. We will definitely use him again.”

“Maria adapted well to caring for my rescue dog, Ginger, and kept me updated with texts and pictures while she was with her. Maria tried different approaches to encourage Ginger to eat, took her on short walks, and created a comfortable environment while she was in her care.”

“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.”

“I could tell Alyssa was the right sitter within the first 5 minutes of meeting her. She put my mind at ease while scheduling traveling plans for our 5 day trip. While she was at my house I could tell that my dog was in great hands :) She had great updates and took great care of my house as well. Look forward to using her in the future! Thank you Alyssa!”

“She was so amazing! Leah loved her so much I dont think she was as happy to see me lol She sent photos very often and i never wondered how Leah was doing.. Shes awesome and We will definitely be using her again in the future.”

“As always the dogs were well taken care of and Emalynn was a joy to have stay here. They miss her already! It is great to come home from vaca to happy fur babies. Thank you”

About: No dog deserves the kennel! Why settle for the pound when they can spend a night in a home with an owner-on-loan; either in your house on in a house that has raised two other pets from puppyhood to old age? Admittedly, there are stairs and hardwood floors in my house, but I have bought several carpets for my old dog to move around on and can lay them down for your dog’s convenience. We also have a big backyard that your dog will love to run around in (and no predators, unless you count woodchucks and geese) and a long leash that can go all the way to the end of the property line. I love dogs and after a day with me, your furry friend will mistake me for his mother. I’m most busy Wednesdays-Thursdays, so I marked them out on the calendar, but if petsitting is required for several days, that is easy to accommodate! I also don’t mind waking up every few hours to take a dog out—I have not quite reached the age where sleep is important. I won’t allow your dog to roam around outside unleashed (sorry, but I don’t want to lose them!), but when they’re outside, I’ll make sure they have the freedom to run around to their heart’s content. Additionally, I’m willing to walk them in any weather they’ll put up with and even let them sleep on the couch/spare bed, if they’re not too dirty.
About: I’ve grown up around animals my whole life in the country especially dogs. I love working with and walking dogs. I like to exercise and run a lot so I’m able to walk a variety of breeds based off their personalities. I can give treats, clean up after them and make them feel right at home. Thanks so much for your time and hope to work with you soon! Pet care fits into my schedule perfectly because I work independently as an actor as well. So when I have free time on my hand between jobs I like to make extra money as well. I tend to be nourishing, making sure the pet that I’m taking care of is well fed and that they feel comfortable in their environment. Depending on the weather I can be versatile when I’m walking/taking care of them. Every dog breed is different but at the end of the day I know how important it is they get their exercise and nourishment.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was in 6th grade. My family has 2 and I’ve helped our friends and neighbors as well with. I’ve done anything from walking to bathing and even nail cutting. Happy to house sit as well. I just moved to Syracuse to begin work with the Syracuse Orchestra. My schedule is not a typical one so I’m free during most days at various times. Happy to be flexible and helpful in whatever way I can! I have a large apartment so your dog won’t feel weird and cramped. If I’m taking care of the dog in a client’s home I will make sure that they have space to do the things they are used to but also monitor to make sure they aren’t doing things they shouldn’t.
North Valley pet parents share their Rover experiences
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.

We had a cancellation from a Rover very last minute for NYE plans due to illness. We are so lucky Meagan accepted our request . She was amazing with our high anxiety lab , communicated with photos and videos and left our house spotless. We highly recommend Meagan and cannot wait to book her again!
Nicole was such a blessing! I hadn’t been separated from my pup before and was so nervous. He’s a little over and very energetic and 100+ lbs. that combination can be overwhelming and she was great. She did a great job with him and was phenomenal at communicating. I will definitely use her again!

We have a special needs dog who doesn't prefer meeting new people. Hannah was great about understanding our dog's needs and was patient about meeting him several times to allow him to get comfortable before the first longer stay. She was great about communicating and sharing pictures. It was a relief to know our dog was at home in good hands while we were traveling!
So happy that Savannah took care of my fur babies! I have a dog and a cat, and I enjoyed the daily updates and photos. She was always so pleasant to communicate with and took wonderful care of my home also. My cat, who is not friendly with everybody but immediately came over to meet her when she came in the first time, and I thought that was pretty impressive. I highly recommend her for any fur baby and house sitting gig!
