“Arlene is the best pet sitter for my two trouble makers. Shes very patient , compassionate and attentive to them. She visits my little furr babies three to four times a week. She is very flexible with time and days as i dont have set days off. She is able to accomodate me last minute when i get called into work. Arlene will also call me or text me if one of babies is sick while im at work and make sure their okay before she leaves. She teaches them commands and plays with them in the backyard. My furr babies are always so happy to see her and do their daily routine together. I cant say enough good things about her.”


“Kim was wonderful. She checked in before, during, and after and made sure the dogs were well loved. I felt comfortable that my dogs were in great hands and I most certainly will use her again!”


“Kimberly is great with Kitana! Kitana loves her & they have lots of fun playing together. I feel comfortable with her & know that she’s in good hands. Will be keeping Kimberly as our long-term sitter!”


“Samantha is professional, polite, responsive and very easy to work with. She provides excellent care for all of our animals, especially our diabetic cat with a high thyroid that requires extra attention! We are very thankful to have Samantha help care for our animals when we need. If you are looking for a high quality pet sitter look no further!”



“Staci was great. She made two visits to my home for my pups while I was gone for the day to take them outside and feed them. My boys LOVED her. She sent me pictures of them cuddling on her lap. I was a little jealous. LOL I will definitely be using her again.”


About: I have been an animal lover since I was a little girl. I grew up with dogs and cats my whole life and have experience with feeding, walking, and playing with fur babies of all ages. I am currently in my clinical year of PA school. Unfortunately, I don’t have a set schedule as every few weeks my rotation changes and I get a new schedule. However, I am usually free on weekends and am willing to get up early or stay up late any day of the week to care for your pets. I have a large fenced in yard. I also have 1 dog at home who is very friendly as well as two cats who are shy and are usually hiding, but don’t mind other animals.

“Jason has been absolutely incredible. We needed someone to let our 2 pups out 3x a day and we were in a time crunch. This was my very first time using rover so I was a bit hesitant. Jason came and met the pups and us before booking and right away he had such a professional and mature demeanor. So happy we found Jason and will be using him again for sure!”


“Jaclyn has been my go-to sitter for my cat for the last year. She’s incredibly reliable and I always know my cat is in great hands when she pops in to visit her. She takes great care of her, plays, cuddles, feeds her, and freshens up her water and litter box. She always provides me a great recap of her visit too! Pepper and I love Jaclyn!”


About: I treat every pet with love, care, and respect. I commit to treating every pet like they're part of my own family. Whether your dog loves long walks and belly rubs, your cat loves playtime and chin scratches, or your fur baby just wants to sit in silence, I've got you covered. I have experience administering medications and accommodating special diets, I handle every detail with care and compassion. When you choose me you can expect reliability, communication, and genuine love for animals. I can provide regular updates and photos so you can see the happiness of your pets while you're away and ensure their safety. Your pet will be in great hands! Please feel free to contact me with questions or for more information. I currently work a full-time job in education. I am available anytime after 5 pm on weekdays. On weekends I am very flexible. I do offer boarding but would prefer to keep your fur baby in their living environment to help with comfortability. I will tend to your animals and home based on your notes. If notes are not provided I will care for your pet and home as if it were mine, with care and love.

“Julia did an amazing job with watching and taking care of my cat! Plenty of photos were always provided and I knew he was in good hands! I definitely recommend her and will be my first choice in the future for a cat sitter.”


About: New to Rover but not new to pet-sitting. I have had pets or been around animals my entire life (including puppies, dogs, kittens, cats, fish, rabbits, and birds) and they have always been considered a part of the family. I love every pet as if they’re my own- prepare for the custody battle 😅. lol jk. In all seriousness, your pets comfort is important to me and I am confident they will feel right at home. I have experience with puppies and all the beautiful challenges that come with that stage, as well as senior care. I have also had experience with adopting my own dog with reactive tendencies which has made me hyper aware of the importance of dogs social cues both with animals and people, and reading their body language/boundaries. Safety for all parties involved is always my top priority. I work from home so my schedule is pretty flexible. Walks availability: Anytime Sun-Tues, (Wed-Sat hours fluctuate, will need to discuss exact needs.) Doggy daycare availability: Anytime Sun-Sat (if pick-up/drop-off needed will need to discuss availability in more depth.) Boarding availability: Anytime Sun-Sat (if pick-up/drop-off needed will need to discuss availability in more depth.) I currently have boarding slots set up to 4 at a time but feel free to contact me regarding specific availability needs. For example, does your pet require an environment without other animals? Do you have 2 dogs but 3 cats? Based on your pets specific needs, we can discuss alternate solutions. I do require meet & greets for any new clients to ensure it’s a good fit and safety requirements are met for all. We can discuss what works best for your pet. As long as animal is house broken and properly trained, I am flexible with crate/uncrated visits/boarding. My apartment complex is dog friendly but unfenced so would require on leash walks. Property also includes fenced in dog area, or I am open to dog park runs if that is your preference. If scheduling crated boarding, will need to provide own crate.

About: I’ve had dogs longer than I can remember, and have always enjoyed taking care of them. I’ve also worked with different types of dogs at my previous job at a dog groomer and love animals in general! I have experience walking small and big dogs. I would love the chance to walk your dog! I have a flexible schedule and my availability is typically open and stays consistent throughout the whole week. I am very reliable if anything changes! I always make sure to give my dog the love and care she needs. It’s important to me that my dog is comfortable and happy:)

About: Hello! My name is Samantha, and I’ve been surrounded by fur babies my entire life. Growing up, I had two miniature poodles, one of whom had special needs. He struggled with chronic allergies and a seizure disorder, and I helped care for him with daily medications and a special diet that gave him a long, happy life until he passed at 16 years old. Today, my family includes two standard poodles, two parrots, and a rabbit. Beyond that, I also care for the wildlife around my home. I feed 20–30 blue jays daily, I feed stray cats, and I’ve built enough trust with the wild rabbits in my yard that they now let me hand-feed them. Those quiet moments with animals bring me so much joy. In high school, I pursued my passion for animal care by completing the BOCES veterinary program, where I earned two Awards of Excellence. I also hold a Veterinary Medical Assistant certification, which reflects my dedication to giving animals the love and care they deserve. I’m starting college this fall and am excited about my future, but my love for animals will always hold a big place in my heart. That’s why I’ve decided to make room for even more fur babies by offering my help here to anyone in need. I’m flexible with my schedule and happy to work with you to find times that best fit your pet’s needs. Any time of the day you need, I’m there. When it comes to caring for your dogs, I make safety and trust my top priorities. Whether I’m walking your pup, staying with them in your home, or just dropping by for a visit, you can count on me to treat them as if they were my own. I always pay close attention to their surroundings, making sure walks are safe, leashes are secure, and they’re never put in uncomfortable situations. Your trust means everything to me, and I know how important it is to feel at ease when leaving your pets in someone else’s care. I follow all instructions carefully, maintain consistency with their routines, and keep communication open so you always know how they’re doing. I also believe a calm, positive environment is key to happy pets. Whether it’s giving them plenty of exercise, engaging playtime, or just quiet companionship, I do my best to create an environment where your dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved.

“Samantha was great! We had our sitter back out at the last second and she was able to help out! She got back to us very quickly and is a great communicator. One of our cats is very shy and we were worried about him not eating with a new person in the house but he actually felt comfortable and came out to eat with her there! Will definitely be using her again :)”


“Sharon was great!! She came for a meet and greet with very short notice a few days before our planned visit and was very flexible with timing. On the day of her drop in, she let me know when she arrived at the house and sent me a picture of Audrey right away. Very very happy!!”

About: Caring for dogs has been a part of my daily life for as long as I can remember. I grew up surrounded by dogs and even had three pigs when I was younger. Over the years, I’ve looked after pets for friends, family, and neighbors whether that meant walks, playtime, feeding, or just giving them love and attention. I now have two dogs of my own who I walk and care for every day. I’m reliable, attentive, and genuinely love spending time with animals of all kinds. Your pet will be safe, happy, and treated like family in my care. I currently work a part-time job and am home from college for the summer, so I have plenty of time and flexibility to care for your pets! I’m available for daytime walks, drop-in visits, and boarding on weekends and evenings. Your pup will get lots of love, attention, and playtime while you’re away. I have a spacious 1.05-acre yard with a secure Fido fence system, my dogs wear collars for safe outdoor time. The pool area is also fenced in with a grassy area for dogs to play. I have two very friendly pups: an 8-year-old teddy bear Yorkie and a playful 1-year-old mini Dachshund. I always ensure clean, supervised environments and can crate your dog if needed. Your fur baby will be treated like family in a safe, loving space.

“We needed a dog sitter for our two golden retrievers while our daughter was getting married. We chose Jess. Jess listened to all our requirements and assured us that Gracie and Remy would be cared for, played with and would be exhausted that day. She was right. We loved the pictures she sent us of them having a good time. In fact, although I came home early from the wedding, Jess pulled in right after me and the dogs went to her. We will definitely use Jess next time.”

“You couldn’t ask for a better person for the job! Liz is a very dedicated, compassionate and reliable pet caregiver, very professional! Not only does your pet feel comfortable, but Liz enjoys what she is doing and that’s what makes the difference! She has a special connection with annimals and they naturally gravitate to her with her kind, patient and friendly manners. She has a way of assuring your pet that although your owner is not there, they are safe. She is kind and compassionate….she takes time to carefully assess your pets needs.

Kyrsten T.
“Kyrsten is a true animal lover of all kinds and has a natural instinct for understanding what they need. I have watched her grow up with both dogs and cats and she is gentle, kind and devoted to her four legged friends. She is extremely attentive to their needs and always makes sure they have everything they need, ie….food, fresh water, blankets, exercise, toys and extra love, of course! Any animal that comes in contact with Kyrsten is lucky and they immediately sense her love and affection.”


Samantha C.
“Samantha is one of the sweetest and kindest people I know, with a huge heart for all animals. She helps my husband and I care for our poodles, especially my male poodle who has hip dysplasia and an injured leg. He receives injections twice a week for his condition and takes Dasuquin daily to support his joint health, and Samantha has been such a big help with his care. My husband and I also feel at ease when we travel, knowing that our dogs are in her hands. She truly gives us peace of mind. What makes Samantha so special is the way she connects with animals on such a genuine level. She is patient, gentle, and always attentive to their needs. Even when my poodle has his tough days, she takes the time to comfort him and make sure he feels safe. She doesn’t just handle the basics of feeding or walking, she notices the little details that matter, like when he’s moving a bit stiff or when he just needs some extra love and attention. She’s also incredibly reliable, which is something that’s hard to come by. It’s clear that she doesn’t just see this as a responsibility but as something she truly cares about. Whether it’s helping us with the medical side of things, giving them playtime, walking them or just being there for snuggles, Samantha puts her whole heart into it.”
