“Peter was very attentive with Meeko making sure his needs were taken care of! I received lots of updates and pics which made me feel reassured Meeko was in good hands. Thank you!”



“I struggled with how to care for my two cats, a senior & a junior, while I went on vacation. Violet, my eldest cat, had just been diagnosed with kidney/bladder issues and required a stringent schedule of medication. I was completely put at ease after my meet & greet Kaitlynn. Her attitude & attention to detail were both professional & comforting. The daily updates were insightful & showed her familiarity with my "kids" and their needs. Our first experience with Rover has been a pleasure. Just knowing that there are dedicated sitters like Kaitlynn available at a time of need is a true relief.”


“Christine has been such a blessing for us. We recently brought into our home a wonderful shelter dog who needed a lot of love and attention, and was initially suffering from severe separation anxiety whenever someone would leave the room. It has also been more than 15 years since we've had a dog and needless to say we were rusty. From day 1 of the meet and greet with Christine, our dog Dot immediately felt comfortable around her, our kids listened intently to her suggestions, explanations and stories of her own going through similar experiences. She's provided consistent advice and support (outside the formal drop-in/walking sessions we pay for). She has her own dogs and fosters dogs as well... and it's clear she does not do this for the money, but purely for her love of dogs. She posts updates during every visit, sends pics, cleans up if there's been an accident, and provides ideas/suggestions when she can. I highly recommend her!”


“Heather was great with our pups!!! She was awesome with sending updates and pictures which kept my mind at ease while on vacation. We would definitely recommend her and will be using Heather again in the future.”


About: I have grown up with dogs and have years of experience in caring for them. I have been a volunteer for pet rescues for 5 years . I am experienced with all types or dogs either it be breeds of all ages and temperaments. I am a college student free for the summer to help with any of your dog or pups needs, so I have very open availability. I have a fenced in yard and have three friendly fur babies to keep your pup company if dog sitting is needed, and a crate.

About: I had an Akita for almost 10 years and have had many dogs in the past. I took her on long walks and gave her baths and fed her. I would also have to give her medicine occasionally when prescribed. She was the best dog I could’ve ever asked for. I am currently working part time but I am available most of the week during the day. I would love to fill my mornings with activities. If instructions are provided I will do what is required of me. I have a huge fenced in backyard if boarding is required at home.

About: Animals are the center of my universe. I grew up with animals of all kinds; cats, dogs, bunnies, hamsters, birds, fish, ferrets. I’m currently a mom to a female golden retriever, two beautiful ferret daughters and a baby boy bird. I hope to retire one day and own an animal rescue farm. I believe it is our job as humans to give all sentient beings the absolute best love and care and to make sure they feel safe. I am keen to make sure wildlife is safe wherever possible. I’ll pull over on the side of the road to help turtles cross to the other side of the reservoir. On a daily basis I will prioritize every animal from the moment I wake up. I can and will do it all. Feeding, cleaning, walking, playing, giving them love and attention. As I mentioned above, animals are the center of my universe. I want each and every animal to trust me and feel safe with me while under my care.

About: I've had pets for as long as I can remember: Hamster, Chinchillas, Ferrets, a cat & dogs and of course fish of all kinds. I've had my 2 rescues for almost 11 years. They are my children & are well taken care of! I am a full time teacher & work Monday-Friday from 8-3 so dog walking, ,my 2nd love will have to be on the weekends or after work. I'm really easy, kind of go with the flow & will do anything to help you with your pet! I currently work Monday-Friday from 8-3! Weekends, summer and after work are best & of course if i have a day off, I'd be happy to help you! I have a fenced in big backyard! My pets can sleep with me and are allowed on the furniture! I will love them like they are my own!

About: I’m Ann, I’m a mom and a web developer and work at Amazon graduate with my B.S. in Electrical Engineering. I grew up surrounded by dogs my entire life. My love of animals started at a very young age. Currently my house has 2 parakeets. I do foster dogs all the time.I love being a pet sitter because it gives me the opportunity to meet and bond with so many new pets and their owners. I enjoy all the different personalities of our client’s pets and it’s rewarding when an animal loves seeing you when you walk in the door. I’ll spoil and love on your fur babies as much as I can while I’m visiting them. When I have free time I enjoy going to concerts, hiking, traveling, spending time with my friends, watching movies, and playing video games.

About: I've been around all sorts of animals since I was a child, firstly with pet birds of my own, then volunteering at a farm for a number of years. Most recently, my experience as a veterinary assistant and being in school for a veterinary technician degree also gives me much knowledge in care for all sorts of animals, especially dogs and cats! I'm currently working at a veterinary hospital and have a few days where I can take time to fit pets that need attention into my schedule. Since my schedule changes regularly, my availability may change weekly, but usually does not impede on any pet that needs my attention. I have a variety of cages, leashes, harnesses, and toys for all size dogs if it is not available to the owner. Another benefit I can offer is the fact that since I also work at an animal hospital, if in the event where a pet needs attention while their owner’s are away, I have the access and contacts to help with any needs of that pet as soon as possible, with the permission of the owners.

About: I have always owned/ cared for pets my entire life, which makes 25 years of caring for pets. I went to SUNY Alfred State College of technology, where I received my associates degree in veterinary technology, as well as a bachelors degree in technology management Fall of 2021. I started off volunteering at animal shelters in the fall of 2016. I worked as a Kennel assistant throughout the years of 2016 to 2020. I worked as a Veterinary Assistant from 2020 to 2023. I am currently a Veterinary Technician (Emergency animal nurse) at Veterinary Emergency Group. I have animal training, grooming, and Veterinary medical experience. I work a full time job at Veterinary Emergency Group three days a week. 12 hour shifts. I can also bring pets to work with me as well. So I am available all days out of the week. I do not have a fenced in yard, but there is a hiking trail around the corner from my home where I walk my own dogs daily. Pets will never be put in a crate. (Unless you prefer for them to be crated) They are welcomed to walk around my house, on the couch, and in my bed. I feed my dogs twice a day and they get walked 3-4 times a day. Whenever I have to run errands they stay at home with pee pee pads located around the house.

About: What sets me apart is a lifetime of hands-on experience living with and caring for dogs of all ages, breeds, and temperaments. From energetic puppies to senior dogs needing extra love and patience, I’ve done it all. I’m confident in administering medications, managing special diets, and creating a calm, safe environment tailored to each dog’s needs. I treat every dog as if they were my own—with consistency, affection, and respect. Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine—I have a little dog of my own who I care for every day. From morning walks to mealtime, playtime, and evening wind-downs, I’m fully immersed in the rhythm of a pet’s needs. Adding another furry friend to that routine feels seamless and joyful. I’m used to giving consistent attention, love, and structure throughout the day. In my home, pets have plenty of space to feel comfortable and playful—I have a large, open area where dogs can safely roam, relax, and enjoy themselves. I make sure they have a cozy environment with access to toys, water, and attention throughout the day. Whether at my place or a client’s home, I follow each pet’s routine closely, keeping their comfort, safety, and happiness as top priorities.

About: Iv taken care of dogs since i was a kid including my own and for friends and family. I can also look after cats and exotic pets like birds and guinea pigs. I am currently available whenever including weekends. I’m available for house sitting, dog walking, boarding, drop in visits and doggy day care. I am flexible I have a fenced in yard and deck for your babies to run around and get fresh air and I live in a walkable quiet neighborhood.

About: I have watched pets most of my life of friends, and family. I take the time to get to know their personalities, routines, and special needs, because I believe every pet deserves personalized care and attention. I have a traditional 9–5 job which is local. Morning would feed and walk. Lunch would be midday walk. Evening would be walk, spending play time and evening feeding. Weekends I’m home spending time with pet. I have plenty of room to accommodate your pets space. I can also crate if you want. I also have a large front yard for play time. There are sidewalks all through town, which is close to my home for walks.

Lynda L.
“I have known Lynda a long time. We call her “Ellie Mae Clampett”. She is truly the most involved caregiver for animals I have yet to encounter in my 60+ years. Lynda has taken care of our 2 golden retrievers until these two dogs were 16 and 17 years old. She frequently involved herself with our English Shepard and now with our newer golden. A dedicated animal lover to the core. Lynda has also cared for an Eclectus parrot that was in our home for several years. That bird was very hard for anyone to get close to…Lynda did and handled him easily and with his permission. If there is anyone I would have in my home to responsibly take care of my animals…Lynda is a first choice always. Trustworthy and sincere should be her middle names.”
