“Karina is took amazing care of our cat while we were gone. Karina was always on time to arrive to give our cat his medications. She is so caring and compassionate. We love her updates with photos! Definitely recommend.”
“We booked Arin for the second time and were once again very happy with her kind and caring service to our cats. Even our most stranger-shy cat has started to warm up to Arin. She even vacuumed the rooms that the cats tracked kitty litter all over. We would absolutely book Arin again.”
“I can’t recommend Rachel enough! She is professional, accommodating, and trustworthy. She does an excellent job taking care of my little boy. I left for a week but didn’t need to worry at all and that is absolutely priceless!”
“Debbie did an amazing job looking after my kitty while I was away. She gave thorough updates with plenty of pictures and left everything clean and tidy. We would definitely use her again!”
“I would highly recommend Megan. She is very reliable, informative, and caring. She was taken care of our two cats several times. We plan on requesting her service again in the future.”
“We love Nadia! She is incredibly caring and she communicated with us everyday about out babies. We felt extremely comfortable with her visiting our house and taking care of our group of trouble makers. We will definitely work with her again! Thank you nadia!”
“Savannah did a great job taking care of my two cats while I was away for a couple weeks. She sent a lot of pictures each day and I could tell both cats were comfortable with her.”
“My two cats were very calm when I came home after Brad and Mery had been taking care of them. That told me they’d gotten reliable, unobtrusive care that let the cats go on with their normal lives even when I was away. I appreciated the daily messages as I tend to worry. Brad and Mery’s dependable, kind and no-fuss care was exactly what my two needed. Highly recommend.”
About: I don’t have specific set of skills other than the fact that I am a dog mom. My dogs are my world and my main priority. I have a lot of love to give and I think animals deserve it the most. I’m currently unemployed as I recently left my job as it just wasn’t the right fit any longer. I will make myself available to be with your pet as much as needed and wanted by the client. I’m 44 years old with an older son who is 28. So for people my age who normally have small children I have my 2 dogs and my 2 cats. They are my children My animals are always considered in any and all plans that I may have. They are my top priority and your animal would be no different. I am a nurturer by nature. When I was in need of dog sitter Rover provided me with someone who took care of and loved my dogs just as much as I did. It motivated me to want to be that person for other people. I will love and spoil your animal as if they were my own. Allowing you to leave them knowing they are being well taken care of. I have a fully fenced in yard and I would make any special arrangements as far as feeding, crating etc that would be needed for your animal.
About: I've had dogs my entire life, and also have fostered cats in the past. Currently, I have a two dogs: a senior dachshund mix, and an adult terrier mix. Besides taking care of my own pets, I have experience pet-sitting (walking, feeding, bathing, etc.) for neighbors, friends, and family members. Depending on your comfort level, I can bring one or both of my dogs along for play and walk dates, as well! I work from home full-time and have a flexible daily schedule, so I'm available at many different times throughout the day to help take care of your pet(s) through drop-in visits and/or walks! Please note, drop-in visits include feeding, cleaning, administering medications, playtime, snuggles, and potty breaks, while walks are standard 30 or 60 minute walks around the neighborhood. When taking care of your furry friends, I’ll treat not only them, but also your home, the same way that I treat my own — with love, respect, and care!
“Adrianna was a fantastic cat sitter! We got regular updates, and she went above and beyond to make sure we felt good about leaving our cats, including doing a little extra to take care of our cats during a heatwave. Highly recommend her!”
“I have a very shy cat that has never been seen before by a sitter....that is until Amber! She was so caring and loving that the cat made an appearance, which Amber took photos of and sent me. Unbelievable. A pet-whisperer for sure. Every day she checked in twice and provided pictures of the cat, the litterbox, the food dishes. She went above and beyond collecting the mail, and she even refilled a humidifier each day because my shy cat loves watching it make bubbles at night. She was stellar in keeping everything near and tidy. I cannot recommend her enough. Every friend that has a cat in my area will hear nothing but positive reviews and recommendations. If you think she is "too expensive" keep in mind that Rover takes a huge cut of every sitters fee, leaving them with a lot of work for little money. In the end be kind and tip. Amber - if you're reading this, Talula and her parents can't thank you enough!”
“Bri was wonderful! It was clear from her updates that my cat Laszlo loved her, and when I came home he was happy and well cared for. She went above and beyond and I would definitely book her again.”
About: I currently work in a dog daycare/kennel & also in cat boarding. I've worked as a volunteer and foster for Furballz cat rescue for 5 years I currently work part time at an animal hospital in the kennel and in cat boarding. I am available Monday, Wednesday, Friday all day (8:00am through 8:00pm) and Tuesday and Thursday I can only work after 5 pm. I follow instructions in the person's home to the letter the same way I would in the hospital. I understand the multitude of problems aging dogs may face and the owner is the one who knows what the dog needs best.
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life! I’ve had both active and lap dogs, I am happy to play with them or just hang out and keep them company. I also have experience caring for senior dogs. I am a student at Union College. I am available to walk and check in on pets during the week and pretty open on weekends. I am very involved with the pets and will pay attention to what they need. I will make sure your pets have plenty of love and attention under my care.
“Marianne was wonderful with our Husky, visited him, fed him and took him for walks. She regularly sent updates while we were away and even checked in with us to ensure we got home ok. I recommend her hihhly!”

“Dominic simply loves spending time with dogs, has fun with them, and has the energy to match. I've seen him work with small, medium, and large dogs, short fluffy ones and slender ones with a short coat, high energy or low energy - he can keep up with them all! Dominic is vigilant and will immediately clean up if there are any accidents and has no problem communicating with the owner if he notices anything is off with the dog. He's truly in his element when he works with dogs!”
