“Excellent all round! Alyssa helped us on short notice by dog sitting at our house and was really great with Ollie. We would absolutely work with her again!”


“Lavinia was amazing! She kept us updated throughout the day and sent pics along the way. If she had any questions she did not hesitate to reach out. She was flexible with our travel plans - we extended our stay by an additional day and she was able to accommodate! She even left the most adorable sketch of our fur babies - it is getting framed and hung on the wall! If my dogs could talk I think they would say they loved being with her!!”


“I can’t begin to share how reliable and helpful Alicia was. This was a last minute house sitting for our pup and she was so helpful and kind. She’s walked her often and sent us pictures and even helped us take our trash out while we were out even though she didn’t have to. She’s a true gem and we cannot recommend her enough!”


“We were so pleased with Carla's communication with us and, more importantly, her time with our pups. The dogs were happy when we got home. The house was in great shape. The overnight linens were washed and dried - WOW! What a great first time experience with Carla and with Rover!”


“Draco spent some time with Bethany this past weekend. She was amazing. Communicated amazingly and sent a ton of photos which I appreciate. I was super nervous leaving him but it seem like it went really well and he was happy when we got back to get him. We will be leaving him for 10 days coming up and after this past weekend it has put me at such ease knowing he is going somewhere he is loved and cared for.”


“5 Stars! Nikole was a very attentive and loving caregiver for our fur baby. She followed our instructions meticulously and gave us frequent updates with lovely photos. We will definitely be rebooking with Nikole.”



“Rene was great. She did everything asked of her. The best thing is that she spent most of her time at my home with the dogs! Most sitters only had a few hours they could be available through the day, and then would just sleep here. Rene dedicated her time to being here with my fur babies, which was the most important thing for me”


“Teri did a wonderful joint with Quinton. It was my lady and I’s first time using rover and we felt like she made it easy. We were comfortable and loved that she kept us in the loop with updates and pictures.”


“Emily was great - very attentive and responsible and left a very happy dog and a very clean house. We will definitely use her again and recommend her to our friends. We feel so fortunate to have found her.”


“Ricky did an amazing job taking care of our three dogs in our home! We have already booked him again for next month and as long as he wants to continue staying with our little pet family, he will be our first choice!”


“Nina was a great sitter for our three dogs. Even before the booking and meet/greet, she asked questions to get to know our dogs and their routines. She’s very thorough and detailed. Nina communicated throughout the stay with pictures and updates on how they were doing. She kept the house clean also. Would recommend and book again!”

“Suzanne stayed in our house with our 2 dogs for 9 days and did an awesome job. She was a great communicator - we got daily updates which gave us so much peace of mind. She stepped in at the last minute after other plans feel through and dealt with our older dog's medical issues smoothly. And when we returned she had clearly put a lot of effort into making sure the house was clean and ready for us. Maybe the most impressive thing about Suzanne's work is that both of our dogs were really calm when we returned - happy to see us, but not overly crazed like they often can be.”


“John did a terrific job house sitting for us with our dog Ottie. He was responsible and communicative, and kept us well-informed throughout our trip. I couldn’t recommend him highly enough!”

“Anna has been an amazing dog sitter for us more than once! She is responsive and sends many pictures. Our animals are calm and excited to see her. She watched our pets few multiple days in our home and left our home clean - even helped with our plants while we were away. I would highly recommend Anna!!”


About: Animals have always been a big part of my life. Since I was born, my family has had dogs of all breeds and sizes, as well as a small farm. I believe pets deserve the love and care that make them feel like true members of the family. With seven years of experience working in healthcare, I know how to provide attentive care, affection, and the right support in any situation that may arise. I’m an active person who enjoys running, cycling, and racing sailboats, so long walks and playtime are never a problem. I believe in keeping pets engaged, comfortable, and happy—because a healthy, stimulated pet is one that enjoys a longer, fuller life. A little about me: I graduated from St. John Fisher and, while I don’t currently have pets of my own, that simply means I can give your furry friend my full, undivided attention. I would love the opportunity to work with you and get to know the four-legged members of your family. I’m currently seeking my next employment opportunity, which means I have plenty of time to spend with your furry friend. Whether it’s an overnight stay, a drop-in visit, or just a quick walk around the block, I’m here to help. With my background caring for both household pets and farm animals, I am confident in my ability to look after your beloved family member. While I do not currently have pets of my own or the facilities to board them, I am well-acquainted with local dog parks and experienced in safely managing animals, including keeping them separated if any agitation arises
