“Mariah was great with my 3 kitties, I'm so happy she was available to check on them 3 times during our week vacation. Super responsive and loved receiving the photos while away. Highly recommend!”
“Ronene has only come 2 days now to break up my baby’s long crate day while I work and I’ve already seen the difference! So much calmer (as much as a 7 month old puppy can be calm!) when I get home! I love this woman! She is a pittie lover for sure!❤️”
About: As a college student home for the summer, I have an extremely open and flexible schedule to give your pet my full attention. I have a deep appreciation for animals and genuinely enjoy spending time with them—whether that means going on walks, playing, or just keeping them company. I’m reliable, caring, and always focused on making sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine because I have a very open and flexible schedule this summer. I’m able to plan my days around the needs of each pet, whether that’s early morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening playtime. I enjoy being active and spending time outdoors, so caring for pets adds purpose and joy to my day. I’m also available for pet sitting and overnights if needed—whatever works best for you and your pet! I care for pets exclusively in their own homes, where they’re most comfortable and secure. I follow all instructions closely to maintain their usual routine and environment. I prioritize safety, respect your space, and make sure your pet feels calm, cared for, and loved while you’re away.
“Sara arrived promptly and asked all the right questions. She was mindful of understanding any rules or boundaries we have set for our fur baby, who is an energetic Siberian Husky. We had an stress-free Mother’s Day knowing Sara was taking care of them! Thank you Sara!”
About: I have been working with dogs since I was in 6th grade. I trained my childhood dog through a 4H program and we completed at the county fair each year in Obedience and Rally. Now I have a rescue who over the past 4 years we've helped work through a lot of reactivity and she now is an active participant in Rally competitions and other classes. As a teacher my summer is wide open for walks and drop in visits. Once the school year starts after school and weekends are open. I'm very comfortable with dogs of various sizes and needs. I can crate your furry family members, get them fed, out for walks etc. I'm comfortable with various walking equipment from harnesses to gentle leaders and collars.
About: Loving and caring for my pets as well as those of others’ has been such a joy in my life and I offer that same love, care and attention to your best friends! Whether you need overnight stays or drop-in services, I’d love to meet your fur babies and keep them happy, healthy and safe until their best friends return. I’m currently retired and am very flexible time-wise. I’m available any day of the week, as overnight stays, or everyday of the week from 7-9ish. I currently have two golden retrievers and a fenced in yard but find that most dogs, and all cats, prefer their own surroundings so am willing and able to come to you home and take care of them.
“Jenny did such an amazing job caring for our dog while we were away. She did extra little things that she didn’t have to do, as taking her for short walks and stayed extra time with her when she was feeling anxious, as our dog has high anxiety and Jenny made sure to keep her comfortable. I was very nervous about leaving my dog knowing her anxiety levels, but Jenny made it so smooth going and made me feel much better about it all! Great communication with me each time she came in my home to care for her too! I will definitely recommend Jenny to anyone that is looking for care for their pet while being away!”
“Tara was extremely professional and took good care of our babies while we were on vacation. She went above and beyond: she brought our packages upstairs, kept our porch plants watered and our outside bird feeder filled (so our cats would have their "tv") We came home to happy plants, happy cats and happy birds. Thank you again!”
“Jocelyn is wonderful! Just by seeing the pictures that she sent me I can see that Etta responded to her immediately! I felt very comfortable with her and will continue to have her take care of my extended family in the future! ❤️”
About: I’ve been taking care of my family’s, friends, & neighbors pets for about 15 years. I do not mind watching multiple pets at once and I’m also very comfortable with pets who need meds and special care! Basically anything your pup/kitty needs I’m happy to be of service! I have a very pet friendly work schedule. I work Monday - Friday from 6am - 2pm every week I have no kids so all time after work is free time. I live in an apartment which is the only reason why I do not offer service at my own home but I am comfortable staying anywhere. Usually I have my clients write down any and all important instructions I need to know regarding the pet/pets so I can follow those instructions to a tee without forgetting any detail! I will always update the owners with texts / pics throughout my stay in order to provide piece of mind while you’re away!
“Margaret was a lifesaver last weekend when I needed someone to let my pups out on short notice! She was super accommodating and understanding of the chaos that was my weekend and my pups loved her. :-)”
About: I have had dogs since I was 7 years old. I currently own two of my own and both are age 2. I help family when they are out of town with the care of their dogs. I currently work part time flexible hours! I can start around 9am until late night. I can do long weekend care as well. Flexibility open I do have two dogs with a fenced in yard. My dogs love to run and play with new dogs, if you need day boarding.
“Will, has a wonderful connection to my dogs, no worries, they were in excellent hands. He was prompt at the assigned times and followed the routine. I would highly recommend Will taking care of your fur babies!”
About: I love dogs and had one for 17 years! Our good boy recently crossed the rainbow bridge and we miss him so much. I have experience with young dogs, but also with senior dogs I am currently available during the day every weekday, so whether it’s an early morning or late afternoon walk, I can be there no problem! I treat every dog like my own and give them as long as a walk as they prefer or as many pets as they desire!
About: I grew up around and with dogs and absolutely adore them. From chihuahua’s to rottweilers I love them all! I was bit as a child so do have some fear when it comes to reactive dogs and would rather not sit for them. While my expertise is cats the more dogs I’ve sat the more comfortable I am. So not only am I helping you but you’re helping me :) My boyfriend and I both work 9-5 most days but can always stop by for checkins on our breaks. We sit together and work around our schedules to make time for the pets we care for. We have multiple cats as well as fish, frogs, and a lizard. We know how important routines are and do our best to keep your pet in their routine. We ask that your Rover profile is updated with all the information needed to care for your pet up to your standard. Some examples would be feeding and bathroom routines.
About: Hi! Since birth I have had an innate love and passion for animals. I grew up with cats as part of our family and also had the pleasure of loving and caring for hamsters. I walked my neighbors dog and enjoyed spending time outside with a furry friend. My first job was at the Erie Zoo for five summers where I worked daily with small mammals including rats, guinea pigs, bunnies, ferrets, and chinchillas. I graduated from Penn State University with a degree in Animal Science. After college, I became a cat mom to my fur baby, General, a now 10 year old Balinese cat. I also have a 2 year old gray kitty named Mushu. My kitties are an integral part of our family and it is a top priority they are well cared when I travel. I will treat your fur baby with attentive love and care with the goal to ensure their well being and give you peace of mind while you are away! I am a mom with the availability of early mornings (before 6:30am), evenings (after 6:00pm) and weekends. I live in Hamburg and will provide service to surrounding areas. My cats are spoiled with love, affection and treats- eating breakfast lunch and dinner daily as well as the litter box being cleaned multiple times a day. They also regularly get baths and love to snuggle up with someone when it is time for bed at night. I take pet and animal care very seriously and am committed to seamless care for your pet while you are away.
About: I have taken care of neighbors and family friends’ pets since I was in high school. I usually feed them, let them out to go to the bathroom, and just walk and play with them. I love animals so I’m always happy to help! I just graduated college and will be at home for the summer in Hamburg! I have lots of time to hang out and love up on the pups! I will gladly come to you and respect your space at your own home in order to do whatever you need me to complete to care for your dogs!

Brandi S.
“Brandi is such a caring and patient person that I would trust my dogs with her any day. Not only is she incredible with dogs, she’s also a teacher - which takes a special kind of loving, patient person. I’ve seen her work with her own dog, Koda, through training classes and agility classes, completely transforming Koda’s confidence and helping alleviate her fears. Brandi’s also very active so she can keep up with just about any energy level dog, to really tucker them out! I’d highly recommend booking with Brandi - your pup will love her!!”
Karen R.

Ryan S.Star Sitter
“I have three rescue dogs, all with ailments. I am extremely nervous letting anyone watch them. My family member was the only one who I trusted to watch them, but she had a child and couldn’t stay over anymore. Ryan worked with my husband and my husband knew Ryan liked dogs and trusted him. I wasn’t sure at first. However, Ryan came for an intro and sat right on the floor and adored them. He followed my literal 10-15 pages of notes on everything from feedings to medicine to crate and rotate and did it so well. The last time he watched them I told him to call me if anything happened I didn’t have notes for. My male with digestive issues ate one potato chip and Ryan called to be sure I didn’t want him to do anything more. Knowing he does everything the way I want it done and that he doesn’t hesitate to call and that he loves my dogs like his own makes me never want to use anyone else. He’s incredible and would be an amazing asset to anyone who uses him.”

Andrea S.

Whenever she visits, she brings a toy and a treat for him without fail. Loving and adoring animals has been an integral part of Andrea's life for as long as I've known her. She grew up working at the zoo, and the moment she was able, she adopted a sweet kitty of her own. To Andrea, pets are family, and she has an abundance of love to share with your furry companion!”
