“I appreciate how flexible Michelle is about coming to check in on my cats. I know they don't come out, but it's peace of mind knowing they have someone to look in on them while I'm away.”

“Allison came highly recommended by a friend and I would be happy to book her again to care for my pets! She was good with following up and I had piece of mind while I was away.”

About: Hi! My name is Sarahi, and I'm a gal who has always had a passion for loving and working with animals. I have 9 years of pet sitting experience, as I've been pet sitting since I was fourteen years old, and haven't stopped since. I love animals of any size or personality or quirk - they're all worthy of love and attention in my eyes! However, those who know me know that I have a soft spot for dogs :) Neighbors, friends and family members have all trusted me to feed, walk and care for their precious fur-babies. I have experience caring for doggos of all ages- from puppies to seniors. Depending on location, duration, and/or what you prefer, I can plan to stay with them overnight or just drop in to spend time during the day as needed. I'm all about doing what is most comfortable for your fur-baby! Gentle compassion and enthusiastic care are standards I always uphold. I value clear communication and honesty with pet parents. My attention to detail helps me ensure that every pet I care for gets the individualized attention they deserve. My goal is to make sure they feel loved and safe in their own homes while you are away. I love to take them on walks, help groom and bathe them, make sure they are fed, help with medication if necessary and of course - play and give them lots of love. I can also just lay around with them if that’s more their speed. Whatever their needs, I’m here to help while you’re away! :) I can offer plenty of time to dedicate to your pet. I currently work from home three days a week and have a very flexible schedule, making it super easy to bring my work to the home I sit for and attend to your pet's needs. I spend my days off participating in volunteer work mostly in the mornings, but I always ensure to be back in time to take care of them. I am unable to board at my house but am more than willing to drop in or stay at yours :)- whatever makes you and your pet feel most comfortable! In both cases, I make sure to follow pet parents’ instructions very carefully. I will ensure that all areas that we are playing or walking in are either fenced in or they are always leashed. When I’m away, they can be crated if needed and I will ensure they are let out before I leave. Pets in my care are always supervised. I make sure to regularly check on them when things seem too quiet, and am attentive to food, water, and potty needs. I provide a comfortable and familiar environment for your pet, sticking to their regular routines. I also give lots of attention and love to keep them feeling safe and happy. After years of house sitting, I am also used to existing respectfully in someone else’s space. I am tidy and always try to make your home as clean as it was when you left before I leave. I am a quiet neighbor and will ensure that all doors are locked/security systems are set when needed. I make sure to stay in constant communication with you, sending updates and photos so you can feel at ease knowing your pet is in great hands!
About: I’m super flexible with high availability. I’ve been caring for dogs my entire life and come from a family of dog breeders. I love all animals and have 5+ years of experience in dog walking/sitting. I have my own dog walking business as well called Hiking Hounds. I’m young and able to handle big dogs and can keep up with energetic puppies. I’m free to come play with your dog at your house or take them for a walk in your neighborhood. I can’t wait to meet your hound! I’m working part time, so I have plenty of free time to hangout with your pup! I’m also very flexible on my hours as well. Following what directions you give me regarding your dog, & respecting house rules you have in place. And as mentioned before I have a lot of personal experience caring for dogs.
About: I have experience working with dogs of all sizes, ages, and care needs both in a professional setting and as a pet owner! At my previous doggy daycare job, I walked, fed, administered medication to, and boarded with dogs. I also have cared for cats for 3 years and have some experience caring for birds (and absolutely love them! particularly cockatiels and conures) I currently am a full time student and have 2 days off during the work week thanks to online classes, so more time to care for pets! I live in a large apartment with no personal pets. Dogs would be crated when I’m in class (only a few hours a day, less than 6 usually) and free to roam when I’m home, with at least 2 relief walks a day. I have one female roommate who is also experienced in caring for dogs, but I will be the only one responsible for the dog’s care. Care at a client’s home would all depend on their personal preferences! I am comfortable sleeping over for any type of pet.
About: Originally from upstate NY, I spent time working as a professional veterinary assistant in Atlanta, GA while in school. In this role, I worked directly under a veterinarian to monitor, clean, and provide medical check-ups for dogs at local pet centers, while also providing care for other animals at a boarding and daycare resort. With this hands-on experience, I am deeply familiar with dog health, sanitization, and administering medications. I enjoy spending time with dogs, understand how to spot early signs of illness, and know how to keep dogs on a fun and healthy routine. Since moving back to upstate NY, I do part-time work as a tech consultant from home. This allows me to give plenty of attention to your pet, while also providing plenty of outdoor activities. My wife also works from home, which allows her the flexibility to help as well. Our house is situated right next to the D&H Canal trail, and we take regular walks on a daily basis.Whether your dog is a growing puppy who needs attentive care or an older dog who requires a reliable, experienced handler, my top priority is maintaining their health, safety, and happiness while you are away. My wife and I both work part-time from home, which gives us highly flexible schedules to prioritize your pet's care throughout the week. Our daily routine naturally includes multiple walks along the scenic D&H Canal trail, which directly borders our property. Because our work keeps us at home, guest pets enjoy consistent supervision, frequent potty breaks, and plenty of playful companionship. Our home sits far back from the road at the end of a long driveway, offering a very quiet, safe environment. We sit on 10 acres of land, featuring 3 groomed acres for supervised play and 7 acres of private woods. While our yard is only partially fenced, we have two large, fully enclosed decks that are completely fenced in—perfect for safe sunbathing, lounging, and secure outdoor activities. We also utilize a collapsible fence that we can pull out and set up to create customized secure boundaries if necessary. For exercise, dogs are strictly supervised and kept on-leash as we head down the driveway to our private access point for the D&H Canal trail, keeping them completely away from traffic.
“Alexis was spectacular watching over our baby Maya with some drop in visits to our home! After getting booked for a last minute work trip, she came to the rescue in a days notice and even squeezed in a complimentary meet & greet before we left. She checked in and tracked each walk, reported the pup's bathroom movements, and sent pictures of Maya smiling in her care. Absolutely, 110% would recommend Alexis and trust that we will be calling her again in the future!”

About: Hi! I’m a devoted dog mom to Millie, my Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, and I bring that same hands-on care to every dog I look after. Raising Millie has taught me how much dogs thrive on consistency — reliable potty breaks, patient leash time, and reading their cues. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules and specific dietary needs, and I love a good sniff-led walk that lets a dog explore at their own pace. I’m patient, observant, and treat every dog’s home and routine like my own. Expect close attention to your instructions, thoughtful updates, and a sitter who genuinely loves the work. Looking forward to meeting your dog! 🐾 Pet care is already woven into my everyday routine — I’m home with Millie for feedings, potty breaks, and walks multiple times a day, so caring for a dog on a consistent schedule is second nature to me. I’m happy to build drop-in visits around your dog’s existing routine, whether that means a quick midday potty break or a longer afternoon walk. Since I’m mainly offering drop-in visits and walks, I focus on keeping things consistent with what your dog already knows — following their regular schedule, feeding routine, and any specific instructions closely. In my own home, I’m hands-on with Millie’s daily care, from meals to sniff-led walks, and I bring that same patience and attention to detail into your home so your dog feels comfortable and looked after.

About: I have more than 10 years of experience volunteering for animal shelters and working with dogs! I’ve worked as a kennel assistant and bather/groomer with dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and breeds, including puppies, seniors and disabled dogs. I also have experience in overnight pet sitting as well as drop-ins, caring for cats and dogs alike of relatives and family friends. Anyone who knows me, knows I light up the moment I see a dog, and I love the connection I quickly build with almost every animal I meet. I strive for meticulous attention to detail and upmost care. As a highly sensitive person, I am very attuned to how your pet is feeling and aim to make them feel comfortable and happy. I’d love to become your pet’s new friend! I am available most weekdays; I also run my own business so my schedule is flexible. Weekends are tricky but weekend evenings can be a possibility, if needed! Visiting clients homes, I am happy to offer feedings and/or medications, tidy any pet-related messes, and go on potty walks local to the client’s location. Always included: scritches, playtime and treats!

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Scotchtown choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking.
