“Paige is great! She always pays attention to how Blanch (our cat) responds to her—giving her space when she wants it and attention when she’s ready. Paige is always our first choice to care for Blanch when we’re away.”
“This is our third time rebooking and we couldn’t be happier! Our cats are well taken care of each time, and we get great updates with each visit. We highly recommend Rebecca and Justin!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Isabella. She was so kind and attentive to our cat while we were away. We felt like he was in the best hands! She was a great communicator, sending daily updates and pictures and it was clear that our cat felt comfortable with her. We would absolutely recommend her and would love to have her again in the future!”
“Caroline was a fantastic cat sitter! Very prompt and communicative, provided us with daily photos and detailed updates, and went above and beyond multiple times (e.g. reached out to our neighbor to help track down a missing Chewy package). We will definitely book Caroline again!”
“Baela did a great job taking care of my two cats! One of them is a little bit difficult and needed medication, and she took care of it no problem. My cats were happy when I got home, and everything was in order. Baela communicated very well before and during my trip. I would definitely recommend Baela and would use her again next time I go out of town.”
“Lavinia is delightful! She is extremely thorough, considerate, communicative and most importantly, my very shy senior cat warmed up to her very quickly. She took great care of him. She’s also a gifted artist! I came home to a happy cat and a charming portrait of him. ❤️❤️❤️100% Recommend!”
“Tina is Wonderful! Had my very shy senior cat out of hiding and playing with her by 2nd visit- no small feat. She took excellent care of my little guy. Highly recommend.”
“This was our first time having Rico come by for a drop in visit for our fur babies Bella and Mya, we received lots of pictures and an update. We will definitely book with Rico again in the future!”
“Alexandra put my mind at ease while looking after my cat when I went away. My cat easily gravitated towards her and felt safe! She was also experience with administering medicine (inhaler & pills) which is hard to come by. Friendly, reliable, punctual and helpful. 10/10 and will be using her again. Thank you Alexandra!”
“Rachel is amazing! She took very good care of my cat, was always on time, kept me updated with photos and news and was very professional. I would call her again for to check in on my cat!”

About: My name is Daniel Bradley. I am a.... dogwhisperer.. just kidding (maybe). I am an undergraduate student ant SUNY Brockport studying Dance and Rover is perfect for my schedule as it allows me to pursue my education while working on my own terms and being my own boss. I am probably more energetic than your pup! I have owned dogs at all stages of life from little puppies to older dogs. I am physically active and will even run / jog with your pup! I rarely am home when boarding, i prefer to spend the day going to a dog park if I have a full house! I will go for walks, runs, and jogs with dogs who i walk, do drop in visits and sit for. I will locate the nearest park if possible or find the safest adventuring route within the neighborhood! For boarding, I am currently not available! I am happy to be available for drop in visits with your pets or house sitting for if you need to leave town! I am available for Dog and Cat caregiving Thursday through Sunday currently. I normally am free during afternoons and evenings. I prefer 1 day in advanced planning but can plan on the fly. I am attentive and responsible with my client’s space. I ensure pets do not cause havoc in home while owners are away. I ensure pets are in a safe environment at all times.

I never had a concern about my 7-year old dog while I was away for over a week because I knew she was in good care with Caroline! This is the second time Caroline has taken care of Guinness and as before she is prompt, attentive, sends me a report and texts, and sends pix! She’s an excellent communicator and reliable. I highly recommend her to care for a beloved pet!
HUGE thank you to MacKenzie for doing this one-off semi last-minute visit with my pups and her continued patience with my one dog who is a little more nervous and difficult. She is a blessing and I will always be grateful for her love and care she gives my pups while I am away.
Holly is wonderful! We were lucky she was available for a couple last-minute drop-in appointments. She texted back quickly. Our cat, who hates to be held, needs to have her paws dipped into a medication solution for as close to 5 mins as possible everyday. Not only was Holly unfazed by this task, but she was more successful with it than we often are! She is clearly familiar with animal behavior and is willing and able to adapt to pet’s personality to keep them healthy and happy. She adjusted her approach as she went based on her observations, which let me know she was really paying attention during visits. Holly is also communicative and easy to talk to. 10/10 would recommend
Carly was responsible, communicative, and kind while taking great care of our three cats. Every visit, she made sure the cats were fed, watered, had clean litter, and enjoyed some playtime. She always shared pics which gave us peace of mind while we were away. We are glad to count on Carly!
My first time using a pet sitter to visit my cat daily and Paige made the whole experience super easy and convenient! She followed all instructions, provided detailed daily updates and sent lots of photos of my cat. I would definitely work with her again as the experience was so much easier than packing everything for my cat to board and he was much happier at home. Thanks Paige!
Emalee once again did a fantastic job caring for my cats while I was away. She last minute was willing to increase the frequency of her visits to help apply some eye ointment when one of the kitties needed it right before I was going away. She did such an amazing job with them and I never have to worry about them while she is caring for them.
