“Juliette was wonderful. We needed a sitter at the veryvery last minute & reached out ~16 hours in advance. I won't leave Sorrelle w/ just anyone and Juliette's profile and reviews were all great so asked her immediately (if I didn't get a good vibe from anyone I would've cancelled my plans). .She got back to me almost immediately! And was so sweet. Absolutely incredible communication from the start through to finish. She came early to meet Sorrelle & learn about routines etc. Sorrelle had no hesitation. When I got back it was VERY clear Sorrelle took to her & vice versa. From the moment I met her it was obvious her love of pets and gentle demeanor. Cannot recommend Juliette highly enough!! Sorrelle & I'll be reaching out to her again. THANK YOU! 🩷”
“Margaret was a great sitter for our two boys, and our home while away. She was a reliable communicator, knowledgeable, and most importantly our animals felt comfortable with her! Thanks Margaret!”
“Emalyn was fantastic. I felt I could trust her from the time she walked in the door and the pups took right to her. She did a fantastic job. It was the first vacation I had in years and although I missed my dogs horribly, I knew they were safe and sound. I will continue to use her as long as she wants to pupsit. Also, it just wasnt my dogs, she had the utmost respect for my house. I believe she took better care of everything than I left it for her. I am so grateful for her.”
“Nick's level of care and communication was great! Our pup was not feeling well when we left for our trip, but Nick made him feel comfortable and updated us on his progress. Would reccomend him for any in home sitting needs.”
“Jessica and Kayla were pros right from the start. Incredibly caring, attentive to detail, completely respectful of our fur baby’s needs and ours.”
About: I absolutely love pets, all kinds and all sizes! I have always pet sat for family and friends growing up, and have helped raise a litter of puppies on my own. I currently have 2 cats and a dog myself, and have experience rabbit sitting as well. I love to get outside when I can and happy to read/study with a cuddly buddy by my side. Let me know how I can help! I love the beach, the mountains, parks, and staying inside with a furry friend. Hit me up if you need me! I work 8:30am-4:30pm Monday-Friday so happy to stay the night and hang with any furry friends in the mornings and after work, as well as plenty of time on the weekends! I have my own car and live in Syracuse. My cats are both indoor cats for their own safety and for the safety of the local wildlife. We do not have a fenced in yard ourselves so we make sure to walk our dog, Miss Jo, as often as we can, and are actively teaching her safety commands and recall.
About: I volunteered at the animal shelter Wanderes Rest all throughout high school. I have experience with many different kinds of animal behaviors. I work as a vet assistant for my job. Which means I know how to handle and take care of your precious fur babies. I can teach new commands if requested. I have experience with giving oral medication to both cats and dogs. I have experience with taking care of both senior cats and dogs. I will be attentive and detail oriented to their needs and care. I have experience with responding to emergencies in a calm and efficient manner. As well as keeping you updated about your pets wellbeing with LOTS of pictures. I've had stray dogs and cats approach me. Without doing anything to get their attention. Animals seem drawn towards my energy. Which is why I believe I'm the best choice when choosing someone to take care of your fur babies with Love and Attention while you are away 💕 I currently work weekends which means I am available during the week Mon - Fri. To drop by and check in on your precious babies. The only times I'm not available are 1-2:30pm since I walk dogs during those times. I am attentive and detailed oriented. I will follow your instructions word for word. Treating your fur babies like my own fur babies with Love, Attention, and Playful energy.
“Tyler was very thoughtful, communicative, and helpful the whole time I was away. I felt completely comfortable having him in my home . . . and based on the pics so did my dog Cooper :) would have Tyler back any time!”
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.
“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.”
“Amoreena is so great with my dog. She’s a super high energy hunting breed so she’s not always the easiest to watch but she does such a good job meeting her needs and keeping her happy. She sends lots of photos and updates which puts my mind at ease while we’re away.”
About: I’ve been around and loved cats and dogs my whole life. I’ve raised and trained three dogs, including one who is a certified pet therapy dog. I also work as a cat handler at a cat cafe, taking care of over a dozen cats including kittens as young as four months old. I’m a college student with a flexible schedule. I have my own car and I’m happy to help with short term or long term care of your pets. I’ve had years of experience with cats and dogs of all ages and sizes. I can be active or lazy depending on their needs. I’m happy to help take care of your pets however is best.
“Chris was a great dog sitter! He was accommodating to a last minute change, a meet and greet before hand, and respectful of my home! He was punctual and caring for my little Fry Guy. I did not have any worries about my pup while Chris was watching him. I would recommend his services to anyone in need of a sitter!”
“RJ is one of the sweetest people that I have ever met! As a dog mom who has never left her pups with anyone over night before, RJ put my mind at ease and took such great care of our two babies! I would absolutely recommend RJ to anyone & we will definitely be reaching back out in the future! Thank you RJ, you’re the best!!”
About: To say I'm a dog lover is an understatement! I had a dog of my own, so I know the ins and outs of caring for one, and I have over 4 years of experience. I don't have the schedule yet to own a dog of my own, so caring for other dogs is the next best thing. I don't have any preference of size or energy level, so I would love to tend to the needs of yours whenever you need it. My areas of experience are pet sitting, entertaining, walking, and boarding. I would love the opportunity to care for your dog! I just started graduate school at Syracuse University and am looking to continue pet sitting in my free time! My schedule during the week varies, but I am very flexible and whatever the request may be, I will try my best to fulfill it! Nothing is ever too last minute, I am open to all requests. When caring for dogs in my home/apartment, I like the be around the dog playing with them or just keeping them company. Whenever I do have to leave I make sure they have food/water and that they are comfortable while I’m not there. Being an athlete I am very active already, so taking a dog outside for fun/scenic walks in the city/park would be my pleasure! When caring for dogs in other homes, I am sure to keep the dog entertained. I always keep an eye on them and keep them comfy. When walking a dog, I like to walk them through nature filled areas or parks. I almost always walk dogs for longer than the requested times—- I enjoy them just as much as they do! Also, I have many independent clients outside of Rover so I am open to doing pay/booking outside of the app to avoid fees on both ends. Just ask!
“Riley was fantastic! Kept in great touch, sending pictures and letting us know what the animals were up to. It was a great relief to be able to have him at the house staying with our dogs and cat so they were less stressed. Would definitely use Riley again!”
About: What sets me apart? I’m locked in. I learn your pet’s routine, quirks, and preferences like it’s my job because it is. So let’s connect This is my after-work ritual. I schedule cat visits into my evenings and weekends so I can show up calm, consistent, and fully tuned in. Fewer bookings, better care, no chaotic energy. I care for cats in their own homes to minimize stress and disruption. Each visit includes feeding, fresh water, litter box maintenance, enrichment or play if your cat is interested, and careful monitoring of behavior and appetite. I respect boundaries and stick to your cat’s routine exactly as outlined.
“Kara bonded with my cat, which is not easy to do, but important to my cat's and my peace of mind! She was great at communicating and sending updates & pics. She took good care of my home. Kara is an interesting person also!”
Outer Comstock pet parents share their Rover experiences
Emelyn is a life saver!! First time using Rover, I've always had family watch Murphy and Dallas, I was constantly watching the camera seeing them sitting in their crates waiting for somone to come and let them out or feed them. Emelyn is awesome! She came stayed at our house for 6 days, sent text and pictures daily on how the dogs were doing, not once did I feel like I needed to check on her or the dogs. I definitely recommend her staying with your fur babies!!
Cammie was very quick to respond and do a meet and greet same day we reached out. She was very attentive, took very good care of the animals and communicated every time she fed and let my dog out to potty. This was my first time using Rover for my animals and I will definitely be using Cammie again.
RJ is one of the sweetest people that I have ever met! As a dog mom who has never left her pups with anyone over night before, RJ put my mind at ease and took such great care of our two babies! I would absolutely recommend RJ to anyone & we will definitely be reaching back out in the future! Thank you RJ, you’re the best!!
Meagan did a great job watching our pups. Bella, our golden retriever, showed off her hunting skills by catching a squirrel. Typical golden she had to roll on her catch to make sure every part of her body was coated with her prize. After some convincing and bribery Meagan was able get the squirrel and dispose of it. And then she gave Bella a bath ... all was good. Our house looked great when we arrived home. And Meagan left us notes on each of the two dogs. It was such a nice surprise to find those kind words. We hope Meagan will be available to watch Bentley and Bella for each of our travel plans when we can't travel with our pups.
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!
