“Colleen is terrific! I can recommend her 100% without reservation. On short notice, she was able to drop in several times a day to attend to one dog and three cats. The photos she sent each day were a definite plus. You won't be disappointed.”


About: Taking care of pets has always been part of my life. I have a fenced in yard for dogs to run and play. As for walks, I have to active kids who are always willing to take a walk around. I currently work at the local school just minutes from my home. I come home middle of the day. I am home during the summer and on weekends. I have a fenced in yard and one dog who is a big baby. Dogs are allowed to lay wherever they are comfortable but can also crate if they are used to that.

“Alex was awesome to work with! He came the day before for a meet and greet, followed instructions, took great care of our puppy and communicated very well before/during/after visits. 10/10 recommend him for all your pet care needs!”


“We are thankful for Grace and her repeat service taking care of our senior dog. We will continue to use Grace who respects our home and cares about our furry old lady child. Thanks Grace!”


About: I’ve taken care of lots of pets over the years. I enjoy being around animals and showing them love because they do the same for us! I have a genuine love for taking care of things if I can help it and I’m going to school to even become a nurse. I also started a house plant hobby. Taking care of things is just in my blood. I’m available more in the evenings . My schedule is flexible but inconsistent because I’m part time at my jobs but we can discuss availability if you book me to take care of your pet(s)! I have a fenced in back yard and just one cat. I’m able to keep them separated if needed. I also have my own home and it’s a smoke free one! I’m very clean and clean my home daily. I let my cat on the couches so yours will be allowed the same if they are not dirty of course.

About: I absolutely love all animals. I worked as a veterinarian assistant for many years at the Vestal Veterinary hospital. I still work there as the lead pharmacist. I have had some behavioral training with my own dogs. I will be able to tend to any kind of special needs your fur/feather babies might have. Im experienced in everything from naughty puppies to medicating our needy seniors, even our spicy kitties lol. I have two rescue dogs Pearl and Chief along with Flocki our Cockatoo, they are my best friends. I know there are many animals that can't be boarded for a wide variety of reasons. Im here to help. You can enjoy your time away and know your beloved pets are comfortable and cared for. Even if you just need someone to help medicate or walk your dog I'd love to help. Thank you for your time and consideration. I have great references. I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies! I can not board at my house. Unfortunately one of my rescue dogs does not do well with outside dogs. I work 9 to 6 Monday through Friday. I can come to your house before and after work, possibly on lunch. I can stay at your house while you are away. My children are grown and can take care of my home while I care for yours. I would be happy to follow any dietary needs your pet may have. If your pet needs medications I can ensure you your pet will get their medication no matter how difficult the task. I will be compassionate and understanding that your pet is scared and misses you and doesn’t know who I am. I will show your pet all the extra love they need while your away.

About: I've owned and cared for cats and dogs my whole life and want the opportunity to care for yours while you're away! I recently had to put down my sweet Marta (Dachshund & Chihuahua) of 16 years and i am looking to fill the void of her absence until I'm ready to own a new puppy. I will show each and every animal the love and care they deserve while under my watch. I work full time with NYS DOT and have been for 12 years. I work Monday to Friday from 0700 - 3:30 p.m. Any time after that I am available to assist you with your pet care needs. Saturdays and Sundays I am free all day. I have my front and back doors always closed to ensure no accidental escapes occur. I let my dog on the couch/furniture as my home is their home.

“Julia was great! She made everything easy and did exactly what we asked during her visits. She sent us some really sweet photos of our cat Cowpoke, who’s usually shy around strangers but seemed at ease and friendly with her! It was a smooth experience overall. I’d definitely recommend her to other cat owners and would be happy to book with her again!”


“Jamie made sure both of my kitties had plenty of food. He stayed for an hour each time. They were warming up to him by the fourth day. He will do what you want him to do to take care of your kitties. Thank you, Jamie”


About: Hello! I’ve been around or raising most of my life, I even have 2 cats and 2 dogs currently. I am a very dedicated, reliable and caring pet lover so I’m very comfortable taking your beautiful babies on a walk or to a park if they’d allow me to. I will do everything I can to make ur pet as happy and comfortable as they can be while you’re away! I’m also comfortable feeding, grooming or playing with your pet as needed. I would love to take care and hanging out with your fur babies if I get the chance so I hope you’ll consider me I look forward to giving your pets the love, safety and care they deserve. If you have any questions I’m always free to answer them! I currently have open availability so any time or day of the week or weekend while also including nights if needed, I’m here whenever to take care of your fur babies! I would like to ask the client if it’s okay if I could meet with them a day before just to see a quick routine run or ask if they can leave me a detailed list of what they’d like me to do. I can also crate the dog if the owner would like me to do so, go for walks, feed and fill water bowls when needed, and anything else that may need to be done.

About: Hi, Everyone! My name is Cara. Thank you for visiting my page. My strong admiration for animals has only grown more with the more animals I meet and as a result, it brings me genuine happiness. It is a rewarding experience to be able to take care of any animal that needs it while their owner is away. Since starting Rover in August 21’, I’ve had 10+ repeat clients and have established great friendships with families/people in the community as a result. I have a M-F teaching position 8am-4pm. A half hour lunch long lunch where I can leave to care for your furries in the middle of the day depending on the distance. Dogs will be crated when I’m not home. A little history: I grew up with a miniature schnauzer (Zoie) whom towards the end of her life, needed constant supervision and was administered medicine 3x/ day, grooming/washing daily. I was always there to comfort her until the end of her life and spoiled her beyond belief. Myself and my family provided care to my mini schnauzer for over 12 years. As a child, I never had a dog sitter to send updates, pictures/videos for my sweet Zoie when my family would travel, so I strongly understand the importance of quick and reliable communication/sending updates while you’re away. Experience - administering medicine/injections - cats, big dogs, small dogs, senior animals, special needs pets, pigs, cows, chickens. -exercise/run with your pet -hospice/end of life care (Repositioning every hour, hand feeding, massages, cooking packs, frozen bone broth snacks on warmer days, the list goes on) Pets and animals deserve to be spoiled but most importantly, they deserve to be loved. I have a white fur baby (Minnie). Shes a loyal, sweet and well behaved dog, I’m so lucky and thankful for her every day as she brings me so much happiness. She stays at home with her other best friend, my significant other while I’m away. If you think I’d be a good fit for your fur baby or have any questions or concerns, I’m here to answer them all and hope you will consider me! I work M-F through a nearby school, being able to provide supervision to animals while I am home. Check my calendar for the most up to date availability, please 😌 House sitting: Provide overnight care, 24/7 care, other responsibilities to care for your home while you are away (watering plants, picking up mail, cleaning, etc.) Always love to send picture and video updates 2-3x/a day of your furry one to ensure you are comfortable and know that your animal is well cared for and happy in my care!

About: With 12 years experience (including my family dog) or 2 years of watching others dogs I can care for all dog breeds, sizes and personalities. I will provide more than just basic care-I will be a companion for them that will be consistent and have genuine love for your furry family members. From long walks for the high energy dogs to short walks with nice times to sit down with senior dogs I can tailor for your dogs unique needs. I treat every dog like my own with patience, respect and a whole lot of tail wags. Daily visits, overnight stays or extended vacations. I will make sure your dog feels safe and loved while you’re away! I have weekends off and I am happy to stay as long as they need! On weekdays I can drop by before work, on my lunch break and after work. My normal work schedule is 8:30am-4:30pm with a whole hour for lunch to check in on your furry friends! I am able to go before work, for lunch, and in the evening after work whenever needed! I will care for your pet by ensuring they always have access to water and get fed at the appropriate times. I will make sure the escape artists cannot just get outside and that there is nothing that could be a danger to them out available for them to grab.

About: I have been taking care of dogs since a long time. I take my dog for runs and walks for 7-8 miles daily. I can also take your dog for hiking if you want me to.

Solena S.
“I am pleased to provide this testimonial for my sister, Solena, who has consistently demonstrated a strong commitment to the care and well-being of animals. She possesses a natural affinity for animals, paired with a calm, attentive demeanor that puts them at ease and allows her to build trust quickly. Solena is both responsible and detail-oriented, qualities that are essential in animal caregiving. Whether managing feeding schedules, maintaining clean and safe environments, or responding to the unique needs of each animal, she approaches every task with professionalism and compassion. She also shows a strong willingness to learn and adapt, and takes pride in performing her responsibilities to the highest standard. Her dedication, empathy, and work ethic make her exceptionally well-suited for a role in animal care. I am confident that any organization or individual who entrusts animals to Solena’s care will find her to be a capable, trustworthy, and compassionate caregiver. Corina slater”

“Ryan has been excellent caring for my dogs when I couldn't. He's taken care of my dogs when I have gone on vacation and also when I was hospitalized.

I would recommend Ryan to anyone who wants to leave their pets in his care!!”

She does a great job reading their cues as well as ensuring that they remain safe while also having fun. Her interactions she has with her cats show that she derives a genuine joy from interacting with animals, and always approaches them with kindness, compassion and understanding. Overall, I think Shauna would make a fantastic addition to the Rover team!”
