“Sheila was awesome sitting our Bee (Poodle) for a full week!! We received daily updates on Bee from Sheila, which made the separation easier, as we never had left Bee for greater than a few hours. Highly recommended Sheila!!”

“Thank you so much for taking great care of Bella! Bella was receiving all the love and care and I felt so comfortable and at ease leaving my pup with Amanda while I was away for vacation. With the daily updates of Bella playing with the other dogs and cuddling, she came home happy and a tired pup! Will definitely book again! Thank u!”

“5 stars is not nearly enough! Kaylee went above and beyond what I expected while taking care of my baby. Ive never left him with anyone so I was very nervous. She sent pictures, videos and daily updates setting my mind at ease. I will definitely use her again. Thanks Kaylee!”

About: My wife, Amarie, and I both run this account and both take part in caring for your fur baby. Depending on the booking time, especially early morning bookings, you may be greeted by Amarie as well. We work together as a team to make sure every pet receives reliable, loving, and attentive care because teamwork truly makes the dream work. we have always believed that pets are like children and deserve love, patience, attention, and proper care. I live on Fort Drum, so I understand how important reliable pet care is for military families, especially during long workdays, trainings, TDYs, and last-minute schedule changes. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, and I treat every pet with the same care, safety, and respect I would want for my own. I am patient, dependable, and comfortable caring for pets with different personalities, from energetic pets to older pets who need a little extra love and attention. do my best to keep pet care simple, reliable, and stress-free for both pets and their owners. I’m available for drop-ins and walks depending on my schedule, and I always make sure I give each pet the time, attention, and care they deserve. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, including feeding times, potty breaks, playtime, walks, litter box cleaning, and updates while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priority. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely and make sure pets feel calm, secure, and cared for. In your home, I respect your space and keep things clean. I make sure doors, gates, crates, litter areas, food, and water are handled carefully. I also send updates and pictures so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is safe and doing well.
About: I’ve had pets (dogs of all sizes and cats) my whole life and currently have two corgis. If there’s a dog or cat in a room, that’s where you’ll find me. I follow your instructions to a T because I believe the way you need pet care doesn’t stop when you leave for a trip. Also available for emergency drop ins and help, because you never know when life get crazy. Having pets myself, pet care it’s my routine! I focus my day around making sure pet’s needs are met, as well as try to go above and beyond to make them as happy as they make us. I follow your instructions to a T - if you need/want your pets cared for in a certain way, I’ll make sure that it’s done just as you need!
“Audrey was great! Our pups can be a handful sometimes but she definitely knew what she was doing and cared for them like they were her own. She was flexible with our schedule and short notice booking.”

“Lizaida watched our chubbs last minute for us over the holidays. She kept us informed and sent pics and videos of our chubbs the whole time he was in her care . We will definitely be using her again in the future.”

“Sabrina was wonderful! Easy to communicate with, and I absolutely adored the location! It was perfect for my dog who roams free. Sabrina sent me photos throughout, and my dog fit in perfectly! Thank you so much!!”

“We are thankful we found Zachary! Due to a last minute change we reached out a couple days before leaving town. Great communication throughout, from the meet and greet to the overnight stay. Our pup was well cared for!”

“Wow Wow Wow! This service far exceeded my expectations!! From the moment Tug & I met Josephine we were at ease. Josephine's kind & calm approach had us knowing she was the right fit for Tug. I truly valued the ongoing dialogue pre & post care and the booked afternoon allowed me the opportunity to know Tug was in perfect care in the perfect setting with the perfect sitter. Thank you Josephine & Thank you Rover..we will definitely use this service in the future and will highly recommend to friends & family!”

“Daisy is an older dog with anxiety and needs medications daily. It's hard to find someone who can meet her needs and behaviors. Nicole was wonderful. I think Daisy had a better time with her than with me😀. I was able to have a worry free weekend away.”

About: I have had dogs my whole life. Great with meds, after surgery care, senior dogs, walks an of course lots of play and cuddle time. I treat each dog as if they are mine. I work from and can make my own schedule, which leaves time to spoil my dog and get cuddling and lots of play time in. I have an unfenced yard but plenty of room for your fur baby to run. I have a staffy that is a rescue and is very sweet and gets along with other dogs. If I come to you we will have lots of fun.
“Alex was so great with our pup! He was happy and clearly well cared-for over the 5 days at her house. Bailey, her dog, is gentle and nice and was a great companion too. Highly recommend!”

“This was my first time using this service and my selection of Alexis was the best thing I did for myself and my dog. We met before hand with her beautiful dog Sonny, that has an amazing disposition and it was a great connection. Alexis and her family have a nice home that is very accommodating and comfortable for a dog if any size. I received photos and video updates. I felt relieved that my dog was in great hands and will not hesitant to have my dog spend time with Alexis and her family.”

About: Hello! I’m so glad you are here! My name is Sharee. I am 23 and I just moved here to the Watertown area from Sarasota, FL; which is where I’m from. I became a pet sitter because I adore dogs and cannot have one of my own right now-- so I'm here to give lots of love and attention to yours! I've always been an animal lover and dogs have always been apart of our family throughout my childhood. Giving them the care they need and deserve is my priority and I will treat your dog like my own. I will take them on long walks (when needed), occasional park trips (if comfortable with) and make sure they receive the food, exercise and all the love they need. I've had many experiences with animals, including: 2 Great Danes, a Bichon Poo, a British short haired' cat, and I have helped raise and train two well behaved pure bread German Shepherds. Spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy doing and I guarantee yours will obtain nothing but the absolute best. I just joined the military and definitely need a reason to get off base and also make new fury friends here! Rover is a way for me to make additional income while doing something that brings me joy. My schedule is Monday- Friday but I’m expecting to have a lot of 4-day weekends. Your pets are your family and I understand what it's like to be away from them, even if you're off doing something fun. My main goal is to build a relationship with you and your pet which will allow us all to feel secure and connected. I will do my best to be attentive and communicative through pictures, phone calls etc. I look forward to meeting/ caring for your pets and making this a memorable experience for all of us! (I am available for Dog Walking, Drop-In Visits and House Sitting only) I am currently working full time Monday- Friday but am available around lunch time every weekday, after work during the week, and my weekends are completely free. I am available to walk your dog every day in the early morning, lunch time, and after work around 5pm. Additionally, I can also accommodate high energy breeds that need more than a potty walk.

“Amanda was great! I had two very different dogs (senior and puppy) and Amanda handled them with ease. Amanda kept me informed while I was away and it was great to know my pups were in good hands.”
