âTyler took great care of our cat while we were away. He sent updates and pics after every visit. He is reliable and trustworthy. I would recommend him 100%!â
âAngie took excellent care of our two cats while we were away! We will definitely ask Angie to take care of our cats again and would absolutely recommend Angie!â

âAfter dropping in to let my 10 month old puppy out for a break for 3 days, Iâve determined Erin is a saint! My puppy proved very difficult to get on the house, and Erin did not give up on her. She is reliable, responsible and very comfortable around my dog and cats. Iâd highly recommend her and will hire her again in the future.â
âStephanie did a great job watching our GSP. Pictures were sent every day and it was clear to see he was getting attention and great play time. There was no issues with the holiday making the trip away more relaxed. She was flexible and communicated well as she did what was needed with her schedule keeping our pups needs in mind. Would recommend her and will be rebooking for our next trip.â


About: Iâve owned and cared for dogs my whole life and have helped many friends, family and neighbors care for theirs. Dependable, trustworthy , kind and caring. Iâm working part time so I have plenty of extra time to help you care for your fur babies. I have two of my own that are my world so I know how important yours are to you and will make sure they are taken care of just like my own. Iâm very adaptable to whatever your pups needs are. Whether they need long walks, play time ( i have two labs that love to play) to be fed, let out, medications given etc. Iâve worked with many different types of breeds and multiple dogs at once. Iâm great with communication and if youâd love pictures or videos sent Iâd be happy to do that as well.
About: Hi there, Iâm Sydney! Growing up Iâve always loved animals, both young and elderly. I would love to meet your furry friend and give them the attention they need and deserve while youâre away! I am free most afternoons and with notice I can typically be free on the weekend. I am a college student with a decently flexible schedule to fit you and your pets needs! In your home, your pet will have consistent access to fresh drinking water! Additionally, any needs or routines you and your furry friend have will be followed as best as I can, not to mention plenty of photos to come :)
âJulia did a great job watching our dog for 10 days! She was incredibly communicative from start to finish, and we really appreciated the updates she sent along the way. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our dog was in such good hands!â

âEmma was amazing! She was punctual and spent quality time with my cats! She sends amazing pictures of my cats everyday. She is very knowledgeable about my cats and i learned a few things! I look forward to working with Emma again in the future.â

âShelby continues to be the most incredible sitter for our two high energy boys! Every time she stops by I know theyâre in great hands. One of our pups currently has a paw injury and Shelby has taken such great care of him during her drop ins, even helping us with ideas on how to waterproof his bandage to keep it dry in the snow! She has fantastic communication and is always so flexible - if you want an amazing dog sitter sheâs the one to book!â

âLily has helped us out three times now and we canât say enough good things! Sheâs great with both of our dogs, takes tons of pictures, and is always letting us know how things are going throughout our trip! Lily is AMAZING!â

âThanks so much! I never worry when I travel now! I know Darla is in good hands! I will always use Jen! She goes way beyond to make sure my kitty is happy! đâ

âAshley has been amazing! She took care of our two cats while we were on vacation for 10 days. She came in every day, made sure their food bowls were full, filled water in ghe fountain, and took care of their litter box. The cats loved her and warmed up to her instantly, even Coco who is a shy kitten! Ashley spent an hour with them every day, playing and cuddling, and also sent us pictures. We were anxious of leaving them alone, but after the first set of pictures , we knew the kitties were in good hands. We could enjoy our holiday fully knowing the cats were well taken care of! Would love to have Ashley take care of our babies again âĽď¸â

âLibby was wonderful. We had a last minute med added for one of our cats, and a few scheduling changes, and she was incredibly flexible. It feels good to be confident your pets are well taken care of when youâre gone!â

About: Iâve had cats and dogs my entire life and currently am a fur mom to two cats of my own, so caring for animals is second nature to me! While I do specialize in cats, I have experience watching pets of all sizes, ages, and temperaments, from energetic puppies to sweet senior pets. Whether itâs cats or dogs, big or small, young or old, Iâm comfortable providing attentive, reliable care. I treat every pet like my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and well taken care of while youâre away. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I work from home most days of the week. This gives me plenty of availability for daytime check-ins, walks, or visits. Iâm also available in the mornings, evenings, and on weekends by request, so I can easily work around your petâs needs :) Iâm not able to host additional pets in my home right now since I have two cats and limited space, but Iâm happy to come to you. Iâm available for walks, drop-in visits, and in-home care so your pet can stay comfortable in their own environment.

Rochester pet parents share their Rover experiences
This is our second time with Libby and continue to be extremely satisfied with her care for our cat. We were out of country for 2+ weeks and each morning I would wake up to a visit status along with pictures. She also supported with mail & bird feeding which was much appreciated. Basically I could enjoy my vacation and know all was okay at home and if any issues- I would be contacted immediately.
