“Kiersten was amazing! She was extremely communicative, putting my mind at ease when I was out of the country. She made sure my doggo got lots of love and walks. I will be booking with her again!”


2. Julianna S.

“Juliana could not have done a better job. We left her with two young cats (Polly & Phil) and one middle-aged dog (Ellie) and one aging blind cat (Patches 19 yrs). All the pets were kept happy and healthy. We were kept updated with texts and pictures---Julianna intuitively understood our nervousness about leaving our pets. She prepared any necessary special diet meals for Ellie (bad stomach) and Polly (the finicky eater at the best of times). All our pets were healthy and happy and, our home was as clean as when we left it. We could not have asked for more. Needless to say, we have never had a house sitter as thorough and caring as Juliana.”

“My dog really loved hanging with Maddy! She was communicative and responsive to her needs.”


4. Cassandra V.

“Cassandra did an amazing job taking care of my 3 cats. She was very quick to respond if i had any question or concerns and showed real genuine care for my animals. She was my first sitter on Rover so i was kind of nervous about the whole process but she really made everything very easy and i was able to focus on my vacation and what i needed to get done.”


5. Arianna M.
“I did work at Bethany Manor with Arianna for a little over a year. She is a very caring young lady. She told me how she wanted to work with animals in the future. She has told me stories about her visit to Tanglewood and how she worked with animals at BOCES.”

10. Bryan C.
About: I've loved caring for pets for family and friends over the years. Moved away from home so looking to keep that same experience around here. I'm generally off on Sundays and Mondays for work, and live close enough for potty breaks and I make my own schedule if enough notice is given. I have a fenced in yard which has been home to dogs the size of a Great Pyrenees down to a Yorkshire Terrier before. The home is large enough for multiple pets to have their space.


11. Kimberly B.

“She was wonderful! I didn't have to worry about my dogs being taken care of or coming home to a mess. My dogs were well loved and my house was the same as I left it! I was sent pictures and kept in communication with Kimberly! I'd highly recommend her!”


12. Brigitte B.
About: Responsible and caring. I want to be sure all their needs are met so they are comfortable and safe. Pets deserve to be treated well. I have spare time to help a family out with their pets. I am truly committed to the time slots I say I am available. I have an indoor cat, but he loves to go outside, so I put a collar and a leash on him and take him out daily.


13. Diana S.

“This was our first time using Rover, and we couldn't have been happier with Diana's care for our Ellie. We met with her before her stay, and she asked a lot of great questions and was very detail oriented, which we really appreciated. She kept us updated with texts, pics, and even a video of our butt wagger! Unfortunately, our pup got sick Diana's last night. She handled it with ease. She left the house very clean, and followed all of our crazy directions. Would definitely recommend Diana to take care of your fur baby!”


14. Madison G.
“Ivan is one of the sweetest individuals I have ever met and so good with animals! I don't trust my pets with many people, especially since my older dog has on set dementia/ health issues and doesn't like people but he loved Ivan instantly. Ivan has stayed in my home and taken care of my 3 pets like they are their own and given them the love and care they needed. I trust Ivan fully with my babies. And Ivan is one sitter I would highly recommend! The compassion they have for animals is unmatched!”


15. Jandro C.

“Jandro is the BEST! I highly recommend! He goes above and beyond for doggies! I am going to continue using him, always!”


16. Daisy M.

“Daisy was great! Arrived on time, kept in communication while we were gone, and followed all directions. Will definitely be using her again!”


17. Maggie G.
“Maggie is really great with our dog. She loves what she does and it shows. She is reliable and trustworthy. I definitely recommend her services too.”


18. Jessica G.

“*First time user experience* Typically my mother will watch over my pets when I go out of town. Due to her age and the size/energy of my dogs, I decided to book a dog sitter. Daunting is an understatement. I was worried about relinquishing control to someone I didn’t know and inviting them into my home to care for my pets that mean so much to me. As a first time user, there were many unknowns regarding the process and inviting someone to stay in our home. No worries though. Jessica to the rescue! She was able to guide and provide information during the booking process. She then came to meet our pets and took time asking many great questions that pertained to our furries. I was a little hesitant to using Rover and having someone new around our guys. Would they understand some of their quirks? Would they provide the same loving experience that they are used to? I knew there would be many new facets to this experience. If you were ever hesitant on using this service or Jessica to take care of your pets, use this review to reassure you that it is a great way to have peace of mind knowing that your guys will be cared for, understood, and comfortable - even and added bonus, Jessica will truly get to the heart of the job. She went over and beyond for my guys. She made sure they were taken care of, had snacks, were de-shedded, nurtured, and I came home to happy pets and a lot less hair. What more could you ask for?! Definitely will be using this service again and will ALWAYS be reaching out to Jess. Wonderful person with a heart of gold. Thank you!”


19. Karizma L.
“Karizma has been amazing caring for my husky in the past as well as our German shepherd we have now. She is so caring and super flexible when it comes to dog sitting, definitely a lifesaver!”

About: I have 10+ years working with animals. Growing up my family took in many recuse dogs that I had a hand in taking care of. I have experience working on a dairy farm. Currently I have 3 cats of my own. I love animals and would love to help you take care of yours as if they were my own. My schedule is currently open.
