“Sally is so amazing with my babies. She boarded my cats in her home when I went on vacation. They came home so soft and had a spa vacation of their own. She must have bushed them for hours. So cute!! They were extremely happy there and I’m so glad I have a trusted sitter for them when I travel now.”

About: I have had dogs my whole life and would not change a thing! I used to have a beagle, mini dachshund, and tuxedo cat. They were the loves of my life and added such character to my home. When sitting your dog, I will treat him/her as if they were my own. Him/her will be allowed on all furniture and I am more than happy to have them sleep in bed! Again, I have had a dog my whole life, so I am confident that I will make his/her stay more than memorable! I am very trustworthy and will follow whatever instructions you give me! I signed up for rover because I understand how hard it can be to find a sitter for your dog last minute and someone that you can trust. Will devote any time required, I work from home so it is easy, no obligations. Career is very flexible so I have a lot of free time during the day. I treat them as if they are my own! I am very responsible and trustworthy. Will take excellent care of your pets! They can go on furniture, sleep in bed, all of it!
“Thank you so much for taking care of our cat, Cleo. You were so patient with her and I loved how you sent us pics everyday. It was a great experience knowing that our energetic, family pet was in a loving environment while we were on vacation. Thanks again. Debbie”
About: As a mom myself (both a dog-mom and human-mom!), I know how hard it is to leave your little fur baby behind to enjoy a fun vacation or business trip but I can assure you that with lots of photos and text updates that your little pup or kitty will be so happy in our animal-loving home! We are a vegan household so needless to say, we do not discriminate against any little or big creature (well, maybe just spiders!). Your pup will have the best care, all the couch snuggles, nice walks on grassy Pehlam Parkway dirt paths, fetch games and timely food/drink care! My 6 year old will endlessly read to him/her and my 3 year old will give them all the scratches! They are VERY good with all dogs big or small and understand the limits, they will never be left unattended with your pup! We lost our Golden Retriever and Coonhound this year and just looking to fill the small void in our home <3! So go on your trip and let us go on some fun exploring walks! Please message me with any questions! I currently work from home full time and am very active and willing to walk dog at any time in any weather... and weekends consist of some sort of activity with our children that would require us to be out of the house for 2-4 hours, no more. We have a 2 bedroom apartment with a very large living room and very large windows that dogs love to look out of! You are welcome to bring your dog bed, we have plenty of space, and a nice dark hallway if they want some peace and quiet :)
“Outstanding sitter! Great communication and lots of updates! We can tell our sweet kitty was in great hands while we were away and will use Michelle again in the future!!”
About: Hi, I'm Gabby! I’m a proud pet parent to a corgi, a cat, and a tortoise! I treat my pets like my kids and am ALWAYS looking to give more love to other fur babies! I’ve cared for friends’ cats and done check-ins for their dogs. I’m experienced with pets of all ages—from playful puppies to senior dogs who prefer to nap all day. I have also administered medications to my own pets for years, so I’m confident in handling oral medications for others as well. Animals are my happy place, and I’d love to give your babies the love and care they deserve! I am currently off from my current job for about a month and a half and am looking to earn some extra cash in the meantime! My current lifestyle allows for a lot of flexibility during the work week, so I am open to doggy/cat care all times of the day. My weekends are not as open, however, with some future planning, I could make myself available! I do not plan to have a doggy day-care in my own home, however, in a clients home I guarantee that I will stick to their fur babies daily schedule as well as any specific instructions I am given about their care! If I have any questions regarding their care, know that I will reach out to ensure I am sticking to your pets correct right routine!
About: With years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and even freshwater fish, I bring a calm, loving presence and deep understanding of animal needs. I go above and beyond to ensure every pet feels safe, happy, and truly at home. Your pets aren’t just animals—they’re family, and I treat them that way I’ve always loved being around animals, so pet sitting is something that truly fits into my life. I work part-time, which gives me a lot of free time to focus on caring for pets. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just keeping them company, I’m able to be fully present and give them the attention they deserve. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I focus on creating a safe, loving, and calm environment. I live just 10 minutes from several local parks, which makes it easy to fit in walks and outdoor play. My home includes a partially fenced yard for quick potty breaks, but for safety, I always keep client pets leashed. I also have a friendly, well-socialized cat who absolutely loves dogs and enjoys having furry visitors around. Whether your pet is staying with me or I’m caring for them in their own space, I make sure they feel comfortable, well-attended, and happy.
About: Hi! I work as a teacher in different homes and therefore have a flexible schedule. I love animals and have a cat myself. I have been dog sitting for many years and thoroughly enjoy it! I have lots of energy and like to be outside so I’m eager to go out on long or short walks depending on their needs and to give them lots of attention while their owners are away. I have dog sat for big dogs and little dogs and multiple dogs at once. I have experience with dogs that are anxious and have worked with trainers in the past when asked to by owners. I am very patient and responsible and will treat your dog as if it is my own! I’m currently working part time and have a flexible schedule in which I can provide walks or visits. I have a car and I am able to travel if needed. I am very respectful of others houses. I like to make sure the pet feels comfortable and gets lots of attention while their people are gone. I

Over 8 pet parents in Pelham have booked cat sitting
Pelham cat parents share their Rover experiences
Jennifer did a great job with my two senior kitties who, while social, are not used to being taken care of by strangers. My shyer cat immediately took a liking to her, and I came home to two calm cats simply happy to see me -- no cat-grudges to be had. Jennifer was quick with communication, and reached out to let me know when my dry-food auto feeders were being wonky, even though I told her she didn't have to worry about the dry food. Overall, a great experience!
Can’t say enough good things, but I’ll try to keep this brief. Symba is equally responsible and personable (please note: due to timing we were never able to meet face-to-face, and yet this is the wonderful impression he left!) He was perfectly communicative without it ever feeling excessive. I never once worried about my cats, they were obviously in great hands. Most impressive: my EXTREMELY shy cat warmed up to him almost immediately, as proven by the plethora of pictures he sent 😍
Andrew was awesome. Super attentive to my 3 kitties, sent pictures and videos everyday while I was away, and made sure I was updated on how they were doing! The cats really enjoyed him
This is the second time we’ve used Sophie and we are so pleased with her. We can be confident that when we travel she is taking care of our babies. She even found ants in one of the food bowls, and cleaned it out and moved it to another location. We trust her with our cat and our property. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Sophie to another cat parent.
Vanessa was amazing! She went above and beyond when caring for Obie, sent update photos and videos, always kept me in the loop when necessary, and followed all instructions to a T. She was the first person I booked using this platform and it was the first time I left Obie alone and she not only made the process feel seamless, but halfway through my trip, I knew I’d book her in the future. Highly recommend!
I was very nervous using this service for the first time. However, Genesys did an excellent job earning the trust of my two girls and taking great care of them.
