“The care and detailed information about how our cat was doing. Jamie takes the time and care to get to know our cat making her more comfortable while away. Thank you!”

“Brittany did an amazing job with my dogs and my cat during my weekend away! She was very communicative and sent lots of sweet photos. I highly recommend her, and will definitely ask her to watch my crew again!”

“This was our first experience with Rover.com, and we were a little nervous about leaving our beloved senior kitty duo in the care of “strangers,” even though Alison and Robert had many exemplary reviews. Whatever hesitation we felt was immediately put to rest when we had our meet and greet. We found Alison and Robert both to be warm and caring and patient, but also incredibly professional and thorough. They asked a lot of questions (and made a lot of notes) about each kitteh’s likes, dislikes, medical and emotional needs, favorite spots and toys, etc. They didn’t blink at hand feeding our toothless Persian rescue, and even succeeded at brushing both cats regularly (a feat we are still marveling at since our efforts have always been met with swats and glares). They even gently removed a tummy mat that we’d been gingerly working on before we left. Incredible! And all of that doesn’t even include the best part of working with them, which was the comforting and informative communication we received after every visit. Each update included the basics like meal and potty status, but also humorous and endearing notes and photos that captured our babies at play and getting lots of love and individualized attention. These photos and notes enabled us to fully enjoy our time away, because we could regularly see how relaxed and happy our pets were. Bonus: many of the shots were so artistic and well done that they rivaled those of a professional photographer! In closing, I would tell anyone considering a booking with Alison and Robert that they truly understand and love animals and know how to cultivate trust. I can tell that our cats really enjoyed their time while we were away, and I bet that they wonder when they’ll get to spend time again with their new friends. Thank you, Alison and Robert. We are so fortunate to have found you!”

“Karlie was amazing, she made us feel so comfortable leaving our girl with her to watch while we were away. She was very informative and communicated well with us and sent plenty of photos for us to enjoy while we were away. I definitely would book her again in the future. Thanks Karlie :)”

“Sarah took care of my cat for a weekend and everything went smoothly. She was friendly and courteous. I will definitely book her in the future for any pet sitting needs.”

“Christopher was very professional. He took great care of my Kitty. He communicated with me regularly with updates , questions and photos. He did a great job. He played with her and gave her lots of attention.”

“Amanda was awesome & took good care of my bunny Scottie! She was very thoughtful in updating me and I could tell my Scottie had come to trust her over the week of her drop in visits.”

“Amanda is very prompt, professional, accommodating, and supportive. We appreciated her drop-in visit. In addition, we loved the photos and feedback she left. She is encouraging and willing to answer any questions or provide suggestions. Our puppy loved her at the first hello and so did we. Highly recommend her and will definitely seek her assistance again.”

“Tyler did an excellent job looking after our kitties and guinea pigs while we were on vacation. He communicated often and followed all care instructions. He even got our shy kitty to warm up to him very quickly, which is a feat in itself. Everything was in perfect order when we returned. Highly recommend!”

About: I've been taking care of animals since 7th grade. My family had their own dog and I used to care for animals around the neighborhood including cats and other animals. I take care of my former co workers dogs and my dad's dog. I'm a very active person, so I love to play outside and go for walks. I work as a teaching assistant full time and school gets out at 2:15 so I have plenty of time in the afternoon most days and could always take time off if needed for a long weekend. Plus school breaks I have plenty of time. I live in an apartment that has small dog parks outside. I'm very comfortable with letting dogs out in fenced in areas and taking them on leash for walks.
“Naomi did a wonderful job taking care of our two cats, fed them and cleaned the litter boxes. She kept in contact and updated us with pictures, we will definitely ask her to take care of the cats again!”

“Isabel is the best, we had a sad situation made worse, my mom passed and we had to ask her to watch her kitty in a different location. She was so great about it and she was amazing with my mom’s cat. The cat is actually so much more social now, so we were able to find her a new home!! Thank you so much, I’ll always recommend you”

About: I have pet sat for neighbors and family friends for years and for long periods of time. I have taken care of dogs, cats, guinea pigs and fish. I also have experience working with reptiles and snakes as an intern for an environment education center. I took care of a box turtle, corn snake, and painted turtle. I am in college full time but am willing to watch or stop by when I am not currently taking a class. I am a junior at SUNY ESF. And have a relatively light schedule that would allow me to dedicate hours to your pet if needed. As I live in an apartment I do not have any pets nor can I board pets. However, I have my own car so I can travel to take care of pets. If you wish to have overnight care I can stay on a couch or blow up mattress by your pet for safe company.
About: I have lived and cared for many dogs throughout my life from toy poodles, miniature dachshunds, to German & Australian shepherds and lots of golden retrievers. I frequently dog sit for my family members and love taking them on walks to get all that energy out! I am a PhD student at SU & a recent graduate from the University of Michigan, away from my home town (and doggies!) I am excited to walk dogs as I temporarily fill my puppy-fever. I am willing to work with people’s schedules as needed. I prefer to walk dogs and will be taking them around to nearby parks. I do not currently offer boarding services but am open to pet sitting.
About: I have experience working with dogs of all sizes, ages, and care needs both in a professional setting and as a pet owner! At my previous doggy daycare job, I walked, fed, administered medication to, and boarded with dogs. I also have cared for cats for 3 years and have some experience caring for birds (and absolutely love them! particularly cockatiels and conures) I currently am a full time student and have 2 days off during the work week thanks to online classes, so more time to care for pets! I live in a large apartment with no personal pets. Dogs would be crated when I’m in class (only a few hours a day, less than 6 usually) and free to roam when I’m home, with at least 2 relief walks a day. I have one female roommate who is also experienced in caring for dogs, but I will be the only one responsible for the dog’s care. Care at a client’s home would all depend on their personal preferences! I am comfortable sleeping over for any type of pet.
Outer Comstock pet parents share their Rover experiences
Recently, we had to put our beloved cat, Jasette down, who Adriana had taken care of along with our two dogs. This time when she dropped in for visits with our girls, she surprised us with a lovely arrangement of flowers and a handmade sketch of our cat. It was a very unexpected but welcome gift after some difficult times.

Amanda is very prompt, professional, accommodating, and supportive. We appreciated her drop-in visit. In addition, we loved the photos and feedback she left. She is encouraging and willing to answer any questions or provide suggestions. Our puppy loved her at the first hello and so did we. Highly recommend her and will definitely seek her assistance again.

Isabel is the best, we had a sad situation made worse, my mom passed and we had to ask her to watch her kitty in a different location. She was so great about it and she was amazing with my mom’s cat. The cat is actually so much more social now, so we were able to find her a new home!! Thank you so much, I’ll always recommend you

I can't say enough for Julianna. She met all my expectations and my girls loved her. She was a life saver and was able to meet my needs at the last minute. She was prompt and communicated diligently with every visit. She made me feel comfortable leaving my girls. She messaged me when she arrived for her visit and when she left. She notified me of any concerns and what she did with my dogs while she was at the house. I would definitely recommend her for any of your needs. I will definitely use her again. Thank you Julianna

Katherine was a pleasure to work with as she did everything that I asked of her without a doubt…very satisfied, would highly recommend even with my tough playful, fast paced blue heeler.. she definitely accommodated and was flexible to assist thank you thank you!

Jennah has cared for our dog, Theo, several times a week since August! She is extremely reliable and great with dogs! She put our mind at ease checking in on him during his neuter and other times that he had an upset stomach. She was always cautious with the weather and would quickly adjust with some active playtime inside if it was too hot or too cold outside. Jennah has cared for Theo since he was a puppy and it will be hard to find someone to replace her!

James was a fantastic cat sitter! He came by ahead of time to meet my cat and make sure they were a good fit, which I really appreciated. Throughout the stay, he sent plenty of pictures every day and kept me updated on food, water, and litter box levels. He was kind, professional, and very communicative. I felt totally at ease knowing my cat was in good hands. Highly recommend!
