“Joe was fantastic! He came over to the house before we left to meet my kitty and discuss her care, which was really nice. Joe was very concerned about her well-being while we were gone and kept us posted with pictures and texts. I would be extremely comfortable leaving Juniper with Joe again.”
“Whether Robin is spending overnight with my cat and dog or dropping in to take them for their walks while I am traveling for work, I feel so relieved to know there is someone who loves and cares for my animals. If you are looking for someone to provide attentive care to your animals, look no further. Thank you, Robin as always!”
“Victoria was incredibly reliable, caring, and clearly experienced with dogs. Our dog was always excited to see her, and we felt completely comfortable knowing he was in such good hands.”
“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.”
“We were very pleased with Rose's care for Nina. She was diligent in providing information and pics on Nina. We will definitely use her services again and will recommend to others. Thank you.”
“Alexa was awesome! She was so professional and responsive to messages and made me feel very comfortable entrusting her with my dog. There were multiple changes in our scheduled plan during our visit (we were in town for a wedding) and she was flexible and helpful throughout. We got lots of cute pictures too! Truly she went above and beyond and made our wedding trip so easy. Our dog was a big fan. :)”
“David was wonderful. He went well out of his way to set up a time to meet my dog. He was very flexible, friendly, and reliable. I will be contacting him again without a doubt if needed in the future!”
“Barbara was incredibly communicative and accommodating, even with our last-minute request for sitting for our two cats. She took wonderful care of our cats and even shoveled after it snowed! She also picked up litter from the store for us because we were running low. She really went the extra mile and we’ll be requesting her again!”
“Jamie is very detail oriented and listens to instructions very well. You can tell they love animals so much and they took such great care of our pets. They also checked in with us often and communicated well. We would definitely recommend Jamie and would 10/10 book again :-)”
“My cat is always calm and happy when I return. They take good care of my house and leave everything clean and tidy. And they provide great updates and cute photos. I highly recommend!”
“So happy Nicole is on rover! It was so nice to meet her and I appreciated her care, communication, and amazing photos! I knew my boys were safe and looked after and I think they had some pretty fun playtime when Nicole was visiting”
“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!”
“Savannah was so amazing with our cat Tami She is truly a special cat lover and caretaker We came home to a calm and happy kitty! We enthusiastically recommend her!!!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds since childhood, ranging from energetic puppies to senior dogs needing extra care. I’m a trained dog handler with the Ulster County SPCA and regularly provide dog sitting, walking and drop-in services. Whether your dog wants quiet peaceful snugs, or enthusiastic playtime and hikes… I’m your lady! Clients often tell me their dogs have even better times on vacation than they do! 🩷🐾 I care for each pup like it’s my own. Happy to provide references ups on request! I have a flexible, hybrid work schedule that allows me to accommodate walls, drop-ins, and overnight care throughout the week and on weekends (and even a few work from home days for more time with your pup!). I’m able to provide consistent attention, timely visits, and plenty of engagement, whether your dog needs a quick walk, regular check-ins or more extended care. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I take time to understand each pet’s routine, personality and needs, and I follow all instructions closely. In your home, I aim to keep your dog’s environment familiar and stress-free. For boarding, I offer a calm, quiet, child/pet-ffee space where your dog will receive attentive, individualized care and supervision (and lots of walks or hikes, if you like!).
About: I have 2 dogs and 2 cats and have always loved to bond with animals. I also have a reactive dog so I have lots of experience handling dogs that need more specialized treatment. I’m currently working from home so it opens up my schedule more to help any animals who need a walk, a visit, or anything else! I would to come to your home where your pet is comfortable and provide the care they need. It’s important for them to connect with me in an environment that’s positive.

Veronica is awesome and I can tell our pup loves her! Her communication is great. She was attentive and carried out any care instructions I had. I feel comfortable and at ease knowing my dog was being well cared for while I was gone. I will definitely be using her in the future! Highly recommend.
