“Caroline was super accommodating with our young puppy's (and our) needs. She was up for us walking along with her, so our puppy could get feel more comfortable around her for the first meeting. Definitely will be requesting Caroline again for help with our puppy!”
“Lavinia has been an amazing dog walker. I asked her to walk our dog everyday after she took care of him wonderfully while we were gone. Lavinia is communicative, punctual, and trustworthy. Our dog looks well exercised after each walk with her. She can walk our german shepherd who’s infamous for not walking with strangers. This means a lot!”
“Makayla was wonderful! My dog loved her and she went above and beyond!”
“Rebecca is such a great dog walker! The minute she met my pup I knew they would be fast friends. Rebecca’s detailed reports of her walks with my pup make me feel so reassured throughout the day. I would highly recommend her to everyone!”
“Andrew was on time and totally respectful. He was very calm with our hyper puppy and did a great job of letting the pup come/warm up to him. We had a few requests (sitting at sidewalks and heeling by people) that make walking the pup a little more work. Andrew was more than happy to work with all of our requests. Definitely recommend!”
About: Hello there! My name is Steffen, and I'm happy pet father of two cats and a dog. As a dedicated Rover pet caregiver, I provide top-notch care for furry friends of all shapes and sizes. Here's what you can expect from my services: Compassionate Care: Your pet isn't just an animal; they're a beloved member of your family. I understand the importance of providing them with love, attention, and companionship while you're away. Whether it's cuddle sessions, playtime, or leisurely walks around the neighborhood, I ensure your pet feels cherished and content. Safety First: Your pet's safety is my utmost priority. I am diligent in following any special instructions you provide regarding their care, including dietary restrictions, medication schedules, and specific behavioral needs. Rest assured, I maintain a safe environment for your pet to thrive in. Also, this isn't something that people usually mention but I'll triple check that everything is locked up safely before leaving you place. I know I worry about that when I'm gone. Open Communication: Communication is key to a successful pet care experience. I keep you updated with regular photo and video updates, so you can see just how much fun your pet is having. Additionally, I am always available to address any questions or concerns you may have, ensuring peace of mind throughout your time apart from your furry friend. Flexible Services: Every pet is unique, with their own preferences and routines. I tailor my services to accommodate your pet's individual needs, whether they require extra playtime, additional walks, or simply a little extra TLC. From puppies to seniors, I adapt to provide personalized care that meets your pet right where they are. Experienced and Reliable: With years of experience in pet care, you can trust that your furry friend is in capable hands. I have a genuine love for animals and am committed to providing the same level of care and affection that you would give them yourself. You can rely on me to be there for your pet when you can't be. Thank you for considering me as your pet caregiver through Rover. I look forward to meeting you and your furry companion soon! I work a hybrid job so I split my work days between the office and home. When I'm working from home, I can generally make any time work for walks or checking in on your pet. When I'm in the office it would need to be before heading in or after I get off around 4:30. It really depends on the week so please check in. My cats are 13 and 3 and my dog just turned two. He was a rescue and we didn't get him until he was a year old already. I understand the difficulties of training a dog and will ensure I stick to whatever strategies you are currently using if applicable. I am unable to keep animals in our home since our youngest cat has anxiety and hides when anything new comes into her environment. I'm happy to walk dogs or check in on any pets staying in your home while you're away. Basically, I'll care for your pet however you see fit.
About: I’ve been pet sitting since I was 14 years old for various friends and family members. I have also grown up with many different animals including cats, dogs, reptiles, and aquatic creatures. Currently, I have two cats, one being senior who requires special attention since he has Lyme disease. Taking care of pets has been a huge passion of mine and fills me with so much joy. In recent years, I have had the opportunity to take care of kittens, puppies, senior cats, senior dogs, and a tortoise. I pride myself in being meticulous and trustworthy when taking care of all animals. I currently work from home which allows me to be flexible with taking care of pets. Along with working from home, I also work 4 day work weeks which gives me lots of extra time to care for your pets. When working from a clients home I am sure to follow all instructions and respect the home. I am meticulous and thorough in cleaning up any pet messes and ensuring a safe space for your pets. I am also good at providing updates and providing extra services if needed (bringing in mail, watering plants etc.)
“Carla has done a great job with my dog! I have a pretty high energy dog and she has been able to handle her well, would definitely recommend her!”
“Rachel went above and beyond to meet our pup’s needs. She was very communicative and so sweet! We trust her with taking care of our fur baby without hesitation”
“Emily is lovely and my Maddie immediately felt comfortable with her. I was able to schedule with her same day which is great. We will definitely be contacting her regularly. ?”
“Morgan was responsive, attentive to my dog, and communicated with me while I was gone. I had to go out of town with little notice and I have a very sensitive dog but she took him on nice long walks and gave me great recaps. My dog loved her and was happy to see her every time. Would 100% recommend Morgan”
About: I'm the girl spending every party with the pet of the house! Every unique dog has been such a treasure to get to know. I prioritize each dogs special personality and needs while I attune to the way they communicate them. I am capable and open to puppies in training, dogs with special needs and unique care requests. Our pets are our children and in my care they will be treated as such! Previously a full-time video editor who has taken a step back from the desk. I now have open availability, weekdays and weekends to fit into any doggie or human schedule. I can jump on last minute drop-in needs and am quick to respond when reaching out. If I am unavailable for any date, it will be marked on my calendar 2 weeks in advance. If booking to stay with me, I have a small dog who is a social butterfly and will bring your dog all of his favorite toys to share. If I'm entering a clients home, I behave as if being watched fully by a nanny cam at all times whether there is one or not. I am a sensitive human who will stay attuned to your dogs needs and requests. When they are in my care, they are my baby too.
“Anna has been great listening to my adolescent dog’s needs. My dog is typically shy but she has no problem coming forward to connect with Anna on walks!”
“Jacqueline is very professional and takes great care of my dogs! She’s always on time and very responsive. She takes care of the house and makes sure to wipe paws from the snow or rain. Definitely recommend her services if you need a reliable walker/sitter!”
About: As someone who grew up with many dogs, I had to regularly take care of them and make sure they were safe, fed and clean. I also lived with a cat for 7 years and had to give her ear medicine for one of those years. I have also worked front desk at an animal hospital for 1 year. 2019- 2020. ( Pittsford animal hospital) I whole heartedly love animals and can't wait to meet yours! I am a freelance musician and have plenty of spare time to help you take care of your pets. I can't wait to meet them! I understand the needs of different animal temperaments and know to meet them where they are at. I am very patient and know to give them space when needed.
About: I have been working at a dog daycare/boarding facility for over a year now, supervising up to 100 dogs a day. I care for and play with dogs of all sizes and ages, as well as give them baths when needed, feeding them meals, and giving needed medications. I have experience with many different kinds of dog behavior to know when they are anxious, scared, or if something is bothering them. Outside of work, I dog sit for family and friends, taking the dogs for walks and adventures so you will always be sure they will be tuckered out by the end of the day. I am currently fostering a dog through K9 Orphans, Mia. She is a sweetheart with severe stranger danger (we are working on it) and I plan on adopting her in the near future. So I have experience with dogs who are reactive toward strangers. Through years of experience working with dogs, I’ve learned no personality is the same. I find it very important to learn what a dog’s specifics needs are and make sure they are met. My job at the daycare is full time and I work shifts that are between 6 and 8 hours (usually late morning through evening). Since I do work later in the day I have plenty of morning time to spend taking care of pets as well as flexibility into watching dogs into the evening as well. Working at a dog daycare I experience everything that comes with working with dogs. I clean up anything you can think of, I understand dog behavior and when they are overwhelmed or anxious, and I know how to handle an aggressive dog. My main priority is to always keep them safe and happy.
About: I've walked and exercised dogs. Fed them. Snuggled them. I have a pretty laid-back personality, so I hardly stress out even when a dog is barking at me. I understand they need to get use to a person first sometimes. I work a super laid-back job from home so I have plenty of time to spend with any pets throughout the day, whether they be dogs who need walking or cats who need snuggling. I follow the routines outlined by my clients, and use my intuition to know what the pet is needed or feeling in the moment. It probably sounds corny, but it's the best way I know how to describe it. An attentive person can tell when they're upset or when they're at peace.
“Hannah is wonderful! I tend to be a bit anxious leaving my dog with others but I know my dog is in great hands with Hannah, and love seeing the happy pictures from their walks.”
“Crystle has been amazing with dogs! She’s always reliable and on time for walks, and she also has taken great care of our pups while we’ve traveled.”
About: While I’ve had pets my whole life, I have also worked in humane societies and grew up in a rural area where animals can be more a part of daily life than people! Part of my education included studying animal cognition, empowering me to solve any problems creatively and with a solid understanding of how your pets see the world. I am able to administer medications, as my own dog needed this in the past, and I am able to give your pets all the exercise they need whether it be walking, running, or anything in between! I am a recent graduate starting my doctoral degree this fall. In the meantime, I have a wide open schedule that can accommodate even the oddest hours. I will not be offering services in my own home at this time, thank you for your understanding. I will make sure to notify my clients promptly should this change!

6. Steffen S.
“Steffen takes excellent care of my cat, Coco. I still remember when I went back to Taiwan for a break. I had to let Coco go to Steffen's place, and he reassured me by offering to visit my home first so Coco could become familiar with him before taking her to his place. This thoughtful gesture showed me that he genuinely cares for Coco and always acts in her best interest. Steffen consistently goes above and beyond my expectations. He is caring and responds to messages quickly, which is very important to me. One instance that stands out is when I was away for Christmas. Steffen bought Christmas gifts for Coco, adding a personal touch to his care. It was incredibly sweet and touching. I highly recommend Steffen to anyone in need of pet care! I can guarantee that you won't regret leaving your beloved pets in his care!”
7. Isabella S.
“Isabella has been a responsible and loving pet caregiver for many years now. Isabella loves her animals more than anyone I know, and attends to them with the utmost care and attention. Isabella has even cared for other people's pets while they are away - ensuring that other people's animals remain safe, taken care of, looked after, and loved. Isabella enriches the lives of her own pets - as well as other people's pets when they are in her care. I would recommend her pet care services to anyone who is looking for a pet sitter that is responsible, reliable, caring, kind, and goes above and beyond.”

15. Ryan S.
“10/10. Would Recommend. Ryan has pet-sit my shy, anxious cat several times. He's always been patient with her, even when it came to adding medication to her food or coaxing her out from hiding spots while respecting her boundaries. He has successfully earned her trust, and now she’s always excited to see him. Plus, he understands that being away from your pets can be stressful, so he sends me pictures of his visits with her to help put my mind at ease. I've known Ryan for a long time, but you don't need to know him well to see that he genuinely loves animals; it's apparent in every interaction he has with them. When Ryan was my neighbor, he always took the time to play with my roommate’s dogs and give them lots of attention. When leaving the house, he’d pass the dogs while walking to his car. Suddenly you’d see them all running around the yard together, just to squeeze in some playtime on the short walk down the driveway. Ryan has consistently proven to be fun, caring, attentive, reliable, and trustworthy with our pets. I'm confident he would provide safe & loving care for any pet entrusted to him.”

“Emily has a lot of experience with many different dogs of all kinds. She cares for every one of them as if they are her own.”
