“Pam did an amazing job with my 3 kitties. She sent pictures with all of the updates, and was even able to win over the shy guy of the bunch. Will continue to book in the future.”


“Erica took great care of our diabetic dog and gave him insulin injections twice a day. She made sure to send plenty of pictures and was always very kind and responsive. We would definitely recommend booking her and will be booking her again in the future!”


“Dana was great with my dog Indy! He is a bit nervous and needs some extra love. She definently gave that to him! She sent several pictures and I felt at ease being away the whole day knowing he got some love.”


About: I’ve been around pets my entire life, mostly dogs. I’ve owned my own dogs since I was 12, and I currently own a German shepherd and a Coton De Tulear. I consider myself a true animal enthusiast and I believe that caring for them is more than a chore, but something you need to be passionate about to give them the best care they deserve. I’m returning to college to pursue a career in veterinary medicine and I’d love to not only give your pets the care they deserve, but to add to my experience for the furbabies in the future! Caring for pets in my clients home will all depend on what I have access to. I am more than comfortable with taking dogs outside/on walks, crating them, and feeding/treating them.

“Kimberly was amazing! Her communication was great, she sent pictures of every walk along with a map of where they went, and overall she took wonderful care of our dog Fitz. We are so glad to have found her! :)”


“Courtney and Caleb were absolutely amazing! They messaged me back right away and were very accommodating/flexible. They offered to come an extra night because my flight changed times, which I thought was incredibly thoughtful. They definitely gave my kitties love and provided cute pictures throughout their check ins. If you are looking for a reliable, friendly, and compassionate sitter definitely book these two :)”


About: My lifelong passion I have for animals is backed by over ten years of pet sitting for my friends and family and previous professional experience working at Liverpool Animal Health Center. Your fur babies' safety and happiness are my top priorities, ensuring they receive loving care while you're away. I currently work just one day a week at a spa, which leaves me with plenty of time throughout the week to provide attentive, reliable care for your pets. I care for pets in their own homes, driving to the location and closely following the instructions provided by their owners. I prioritize their comfort and safety, and I'll always ask questions if anything is unclear.

“Alex is always so wonderful with my cat and definitely gives me peace of mind if I need to be away for a few days. He is communicative and very flexible! I always appreciate his help.”


About: I have cared for my own dog for the past 13 years and sadly he died in February 2025. I walked him around my neighborhood consistently for all those years and now having that routine gone is difficult. Before having him as my own, I also helped take care of my families dog for several years. I am experienced in caring for dogs of all ages and demeanors and all sizes too :) I am attending SUNY Cortland right now and that is the only large barrier in my weekly schedule. I can care and/or walk dogs after 7pm on Monday and Wednesdays. I am available after 4pm on Tuesday and Thursday. Friday and Saturday I can provide care all day with a days notice. Without notice I will most likely be working on Friday and therefore not available until after 4pm that day. I can house-sit on Fridays and Saturdays and into Sunday afternoon as well! I will maintain a safe and calm environment for your pet while caring for them and allow them to initiate any desired games or actions. I am willing to accommodate however you prefer for your dog when caring for them, just let me know of anything necessary :) Any questions or concerns for your dog's care are welcomed and appreciated as I prefer a heads up in advance of anything unusual or to keep an eye out/for. Thanks :)

About: I started longer-term overnight dog sitting about three years ago. I do frequent daytime potty breaks for friends when they are out of town. I have watched cats as well. I worked as a veterinary assistant for two years and I enjoy both cat and dog snuggles. Not currently working much, schedule is flexible which is ideal for your puppies that may need potty breaks while you are at work during the day or away on weekends. Unfortunately, I will only go to the clients home. I will not bring other animals into my house. I do own a cat and this is something my husband and I have agreed on.

“Katherine was amazing! She won the heart of our grumpy rescue pup and took excellent care of our fur babies while we were away for a week. She was communicative, attentive, and cared for our pups like they were her own”


About: I've spent many years working at a Pet Grooming shop in CNY spending lots of time with dogs and cats. I understand temperament and behavior very well. I know the ins and outs of pet care as I have two dogs of my own. Maxx and Winnie are both golden retrievers who love everyone and everything. If you're worried about leaving your best friend with a stranger, no need to fear with me! I'm excited to spend time with your fur baby whether it's going for walks or letting them outside. I love all kinds of animals and am ready to take care of yours! I'm currently off for the summer as I work for a school district, so I typically am available most days ! I'll try my best to update days I'm unavailable. I currently have two golden retrievers. One is a puppy, and the other is 10 years old. I do not currently have a fenced in yard.

“Melissa has been a real lifesaver for me many, many times. She's great with both my pets (a rambunctious cat and anxious dog) and can often come over on short notice. She is a great communicator and definitely will take great care of your animals! Highly recommend!”


“Went above and beyond, our cat food ran out her last day checking on our cats, Samantha went and got a bag of cat food. We had a food delivery but our neighbors stashed it so it wouldn’t get stolen. Samantha took care of it immediately and didn’t give us time to worry about it, would definitely recommend her.”


About: My petsitting career has extended over the course of approx eight years. My experience has allowed me to provide quality care for pets while their families are away. I also have previously worked for a vet clinic and from those experiences I have gained more knowledge and a strong compassion for animals. I have watched diabetic animals, as well as others with physical disabilities. Above all, I will make sure your animal(s) are safe and happy! References available Please contact me with any questions! I’m a recent college graduate ‘22 (B.S), and love to spend time with dogs in my spare time 😊 I am generally free late evenings and weekends/extended stay if you need help with your dog(s)! I have a reliable source of transportation, and can ensure that I will keep your pets needs in mind when walking and/or letting them out.

While not ready to replace Buddy yet, he misses having a dog in the house and would be happy to care for yours while you’re away.

Luna has had two back surgeries and needs to be controlled so she will not injure herself again. Jen knows how to manage her to keep her safe. Luna loves Jen as well and is always happy to see her. Jen always texts me after the walk to let me know how Luna did and will let me know well in advance if she will not be available so I can make other arrangements. I trust her with my pet and in my home. I highly recommend Jen.”

Plainville pet parents share their Rover experiences
Jillian did an amazing job with my dog Oakley. On the 1st day Oakley was unsure of her and giving her a hard time. Jillian suggested taking the visit down to 30 mins from an hour so it wasn’t to much for him. She did not give up on Oakley and was very patient until he was more comfortable with her. By the end of the week he was much more comfortable and excited to see her
