“My dog immediately bonded to Rose as soon as she walked into the house. She has an incredible way with dogs, and a deep knowledge of their behavior and needs. She is a true dog lover! I feel grateful that we found her, as it is such a relief to know there is someone who can take great care of our canine family member when we cannot be around.”
“Had a wonderful experience booking Vicki to check in on my cat while I was away for Thanksgiving! She was prompt in her responses, flexible with scheduling, and sent me lots of photos and updates every time she came over. It gave me so much peace of mind to know that my cat was well taken care of while I was away; Vicki had a very gentle and calm demeanor when my cat and I initially met her as well, so I knew my sweet pet would be in great hands. She also checked my mail for me and left it in my apartment for when I returned which was a very nice touch.”
“Alexandra was great to our two fur babies. She came to meet them in advance and they already seemed to like her. She was able to give one of our cats his medications each time she came, she played with them, and she gave them lots of love. She was also very prompt in her communication and provided lots of pictures each time.”
“Emily was absolutely wonderful! My 11 year old cat was snuggling with her when she visited. Emily took great care of my baby and sent me photos and videos of her when I was traveling. I highly recommend Emily and will definitely reach out to her next time we go away!”
“Upon meeting Shana, you know she is a good fit. She has a warm and gentle way with you-- and more importantly your dog. Fredd was completely at ease the first time he met her. She was communicative thoughout the whole time we were away. I received daily pictures and updates. I couldn't recommend her more!”
“Kimberly was so sweet and attentive to my old super senior kitty who’s been having health issues. She has a sweet momma like energy and was able to successfully give him his meds which he can be difficult about taking. I felt so safe knowing he was under her thoughtful care. Thank you so much for watching over Luke while i was away!”
“Rebecca took great care of my whippet twice so far. Each time she was very conscientious about wanting to know my dog’s routine and the expectations for the check-in. Each time she was prompt and left my dog in happy spirits!”
“Allie took care of Cali (rhyming names!) for the first time, and we are very happy to have found her! Our goldendoodle girl still acts like a puppy at times, and we came home to a calm and happy dog! Thank you, Allie!”
“Jen did a wonderful job with my Kitties! They had a good time with her and she accommodated a last minute request. I would definitely recommend Jen to anyone looking for petcare. You can tell she is caring and enjoys taking care of furbabies :)”
“Alexander is incredibly reliable, kind and helpful in taking care of Skipper. He goes above and beyond in making sure that our older dog is consistently given walks, meals and even an insulin shot”
“When I saw Paige was on Rover, I jumped to book her for drop-in visits during our vacation. Knowing her dedication and boundless affection for pets — no matter their quirks or issues! — from her work at the Ulster County SPCA, I knew my husband and I would be able to enjoy our trip without worry for our two elderly cattle dogs who need daily medication. Sure enough, our pups were well-cared for and are now both big fans of her. Thanks again, Paige!”

“Sharon did a great job. Our cats can be a little fussy and have a few different feeding needs, but she handled it no problem! Pictures every day, and happy cats when we got home.”
About: Growing up with 6 dogs in our home at once, I have a special connection and love for animals. Working with rescues, pure breed dogs, females in heat and knowing how to whelp, has given me plenty of experience. I have been boarding dogs in my home for over 7 years. I am home full time, with the occasional errand to run. There is a place to hike, with great trails, right up the road from my home. I have a fenced in yard where dogs can run, play and hangout in the sun. I live on 9 acers, for us to explore and go for walks. I have dogs of my own, so your dog will have plenty of socialization and play time. Raw food diet or special dietary issues are not a problem. Meet and greet is required for all potential stays.
“David gave our two kitties excellent care. He fed them, played with them, cleaned up after them and took the most beautiful photos! During each visit he took photos and we really enjoyed seeing that the kitties were happy and cared for. I would definitely rebook David in the future!”
“We cannot recommend Angelica enough. She went above and beyond in every way and made us feel so confident that our three cats had the best care while we were away. Angelica is lovely, patient, thoughtful and knowledgeable. She kept our home clean, played with each of the cats, made sure they ate, cleaned the litter boxes and eliminated the stress that comes with traveling when you leave pets behind at home. We feel so lucky to have found her.”
