“Alexis is very sweet. She and her boyfriend came to my home to do a meet & greet with my dog. Alexis was attentive and interested when learning how to care for my dog. Alexis sent updates when she arrived at my house, sent pictures of my dog, and let me know when she left. My dog is a pitbull and Alexis was excited about this - which warmed my heart lol. Will be hiring Alexis again! :)”
“It was so great to have Joe as a sitter for our pups while we were out of town. He understood that the dogs were not use to being alone over night and was very flexible. We hope to have Joe back in the very near future!”
“Drusila took excellent care of our two pups! When we dropped them off, her dog Parker was sweet and welcoming to our little ones. We really loved her updates and pictures by texts. She took them out on walks and was thoughtful to put paw balm on their little paws to protect them from the salt! We were happy that she seemed to enjoy our pups. We will definitely ask Drusila to take care of them next time we go away!”
“1st time Rover user. I cannot say enough good things about Miles. He is kind, compassionate, responsible. He sent pictures and communicated everyday. He took care of the mail and my house. I feel safe leaving my 3 boy cats with Miles, anytime. I certainly will be booking him again. Thank you, Miles.”
“Haley was attentive and loving towards my two dogs. Often sending us updates, she also followed all our instructions. We couldn’t have been more pleased with Haley. We will absolutely be using her again!!”

“Annie always does a great job with our boys highly She accommodates our every ask and is a pleasure to work with. I. Always at ease going away knowing she is taking care of our dogs and our house, would highly recommend!”
About: I’ve pet sit for neighbors and friends since high school and always had a great time. I can be patient and am good with giving medications if required. I am planning on doing this part time while doing college online so my schedule is very flexible. I would also be open to doing weekly appointments. I typically try to be minimally invasive when I pet sit at others home and follow the directions left to me. I always try to get a dog I’m sitting for out every two hours unless otherwise told.
“Brian stayed with Hoss at our house over the holiday weekend. He was very responsive and we can home to a happy dog! Will definitely use Brian again.”
“Karina was absolutely wonderful! We were so worried about leaving our two dogs with someone unfamiliar, but they warmed up to Karina so quickly and had a blast while we were away! She was timely to every meetup and sent regular morning and night updates with loads of pictures. Karina even got them little bow ties and a cake toy for their birthday which was so sweet! She was very quick with responses too when we needed to communicate with her. 10/10 would recommend to anyone!!”
About: I have had at least one dog in my household ever since I was born! Friends and family members can confidently rely on me to take good care of their dogs. I currently do not have a job, as I am enrolled in college, so I have all the time in the world to take care of your pups! I follow instructions very intently, and I always have a visual on any dog I care for. I treat all dogs like they could be my children.
“I think I’ll be home 4 to 5ish. My son has us set on a boat ride 12-2 in Lake George.. I thought if you lean the gray gate against the wall where he dug, maybe that would keep him away so he doesn’t do more damage.”
“Easy to book with and work out pups needs … Amazing care given .. our pup was treated like one of of her own … tons of pictures and obvious love given !!! Thank you!!”
“Traci really cared for my pup Evee! Traci is trustworthy and kind and conscientious! I'm grateful to have had such a good person watching my daughter Doggie, Evee!”
About: I have been an animal lover all my life! I grew up with dogs & cats. I’ve been taking care of friends/families dogs when they go on vacation since I was 10. I also have many fur babies myself 3 cats and a dog. I am currently in college studying to be a licensed Veterinary Technician 😊 I’m currently a stay at home mama. Afternoons work best for me anytime after 5:00pm. But if you’re comfortable and you have friendly with children pets I could do anytime during the day with kiddos! I have a small dog(YorkiePoo) and cats at home to keep your fur babies company! I also have been responsible for walking dogs since I was little. I make sure your fur babies are safe and loved while you’re away!◡̈ I’m also really good at taking pictures so you can always see what they’re up too.
About: My qualifications include a lifetime experience with and love for animals. I began caring for animals growing up and became familiar with their needs. My experience caring for animals ranges from small to large dogs, young and old. I have given multiple medications to my animals, cleaned up after, and groomed. I’m currently working part-time so ill have plenty of times to care for your pups! Very flexible on weekdays/weekends I can walk or check in on your pup! I will ensure your pets are well taken care of while you're away by providing them with the attention, care, and routines they are used to. This includes feeding them according to their schedule, offering fresh water, and engaging in playtime or exercise to keep them active and happy. I will also make sure they receive any medications or special care they need, and provide regular updates with pictures or notes to keep you informed about how they’re doing. I'll maintain a clean and safe environment for them, ensuring they are comfortable and content during your absence.
“Rachel was absolutely amazing! When I first met her for our meet and greet, I knew she would be the perfect sitter for my pups. She was very professional, friendly and knowledgeable. She gave me updates throughout the couple days I was away, as well as sent pics of my fur babies. When she told me that my one dog hopped up on her bed to sleep with her that night, I knew that she had done a great job of taking care of them and gaining her trust. I was initially very nervous to leave my dogs with anyone alone, especially since I have a 4mos old teacup Yorkie who is very little, but she put my mind at ease. I was able to relax and truly enjoy myself knowing that they were in great hands. I would highly recommend Rachel for any of your pet’s needs as she is wonderful. I will absolutely, 100%, hands down, choose her again for I anything I need in the future. Thank you Rachel for giving me the opportunity to go away and enjoy myself without any worries 😊👍👍👍👍”
“Jess stayed in my home for 15 days and took care of my mini pig (lives inside), 3 cats, and fish. She went above and beyond. She had some issues with a grumpy pig the first few days and I am beyond grateful that she stuck it out and gave him the time and patience he needed for her to be accepted into his circle. She really made our trip so much more relaxing as I didn't have to worry about my fur babies or home while we were across the world. I appreciate her effort, time, and love she gave to my pets. I will definitely have Jess back and recommend her!”
“Dawn was amazing! She took great care of our dogs. We received updates and photos upon visits. She gave them their meds and gave them a homemade treat (snaps dipped in peanut butter)…so cute! I highly recommend Dawn for your pet sitting needs.”
