“Heather was amazing!! She took such good care of Mac, left our home in great condition and communicated proactively. Also, we were so appreciative that she provided care for the weekend short notice (less than 24 hrs). Highly recommend.”
“Nyasia is the best ! Our guys are always safe and well cared for by Nyasia. She was able to get through the worst weather to care for them, I'm so grateful.”
“Andrea was great with Hubble! She's very communicative, punctual, and did a great job with Hubble's anxiety. We will definitely rebook with her.”
“Alexis was great. She stayed with Lady and took great care of her. Her schedule allowed her to take her out 5 times per day. She also fed our turtle each day and sent daily pictures of both pets. When we returned home, everything was in order. The house was as we left it and our pets were content.”
“Rachel kept me informed all along the way. She sent daily pictures. We even talked on the phone which I found nice. We look forward to using her again.”
“Having Linda stay at my home to take care of my dog Moose was a great experience! She sent frequent updates including pictures to let me know how he was doing and seems to have developed a great relationship with him! I'm going to hire her to walk him as well on a regular basis :-)”
About: I’ve cared for families pets (dogs and cats), whenever needed. This includes walks, over night stays, baths, feeding, medication distribution and potty breaks. I’m a recent kitten-mom, so I’m well-versed in this area. I’m a work from home employee (Monday through Friday, from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.), so I’d love to spend time with your pet(s) during and after these hours. I enjoy going for long walks after work as well, so why do it alone! I follow all rules set by the client and will pick up all messes throughout my visit (from their pet). If their pet has a certain amount of times needed to be let out (at certain times), I follow that plan. This goes for all other orders!
“Jenna and Aiden were absolutely a dream! My dogs were well cared for. We came home to happy healthy dogs and a house in better shape than when we left. They absolutely went above and beyond. They gave us updates on the dogs with pictures. We will be using them again!”
“Sydney was just wonderful with my pup! She stayed the night with him and gave me great, detailed updates and videos… made sure he was well cared for and got plenty of attention while I was gone. I would not hesitate to hire her again,”
“Natasha took such good care of our pup! She is incredibly professional, a great communicator, and our pup loves her! We will definitely book again.”
“Shantalee was great! We reached out at the last minute and she was very understanding. She took great care of our 3 dogs and was very communicative. She kept them happy and comfortable. We will definitely be booking her again!”
“Literally the best sitter! This was my first time using a sitter from rover. I knew from the profile and meet and greet this was going to be a long term sitter for my pets! All 4 dogs were cared for well even my old chihuahua who gets depressed when I travel. She also updated me while on vacation on them.”
“Amanda was very communicative did everything we asked while we were on our 2 day cruise. We will book Amanda’s services again should we need to!”
“We were very satisfied with our pet sitters! They did a great job taking care of our four dogs and one cat. They stayed in our home, respected our space, and sent daily updates, which gave us great peace of mind. Everyone was happy and well cared for—highly recommend!”
“Allie was wonderful! We had her do house sitting while away for a week. She was tidy in the house and so responsive to any communications. Dependable and trust worthy. She took great care of the pups and spent a lot of time with them. Would definitely hire her again and recommend her to anyone looking!”
“Katrina is courteous, punctual and reliable. She was a great dog sitter and took great care of our sweet senior dog exactly according to our requests and sent updates and pictures regularly. We highly recommend her and will use her again whenever the need arises. Thank you, Katrina!”
“Haley was amazing!! She spent days with our cat Eugene while we were on holiday, and I was completely at ease knowing she was with him. We came back to a happy cat and mess free house! I am sooooo grateful for Haley and cannot recommend her enough!”
“Haylea stayed with our 13 year old dog for 5 nights. Since we are both retired, it was especially important to us that our dog have a lot of company as she is used to our being home. A big plus is Haylea works from home 4 of 5 days a week and was able to be with our dog a lot. Haylea texted photos and kept us up to date on how our fur baby was doing. Highly recommend her!”
About: I’ve always had a love for animals - and especially cats! I grew up volunteering at animal shelters, working to help socialize both cats and dogs to help them get adopted faster. I started formally cat sitting for friends a few years ago, and it has revitalized my love for taking care of animals. It would be a pleasure to help you with your pet fam! I currently work part time in downtown albany. I will mostly be available afternoons and weekends. I love to go on walks or cozy up with my favorite book. I’d love to have a fur baby join me in these activities! In my experience with cat/dog sitting, I am used to preparing meals, cleaning litter boxes, going on walks, changing water, and play time- in addition to never ending head scratches and belly rubs!
“Ashleigh did a great job with watching my senior doggie. She picked up after herself and did more than asked for in regards to taking my dog on walks during her weekend stay with him. Definitely would use her as a sitter again!”

Second Avenue pet parents share their Rover experiences
Shantalee did such an amazing job for us, I would define recommend her to family and friends. She was very respectful, responsible and caring to our pup. Thanks Shantalee!
Nyasia was great with our pups, especially during the 4th of July, the scariest day of the year for our doggos. We were totally at ease with her staying in our home and will book again when we need a sitter.
Barbara is dependable and communication with Barbara is excellent. Most importantly Lacey loves her
Clyanna did such a great job with Chip and it was clear Chip enjoyed having her watch him. Clyanna was very communicative and sent great update photos!
Ashleigh is the best! Can't recommend highly enough. Tons of walks and park time for my dog. He had a blast with her!
Samantha & Sean were life-savers when I was called to a 2-week work trip on the West Coast. They gave extraordinary care to my dog and provided regular updates and communication. I give them my highest recommendation!
We were very satisfied with our pet sitters! They did a great job taking care of our four dogs and one cat. They stayed in our home, respected our space, and sent daily updates, which gave us great peace of mind. Everyone was happy and well cared for—highly recommend!
Haley did an excellent job house sitting my five year old miniature schnauzer. Haley kept me informed throughout the weekend with messages and pictures of my pet. My dog made fast friends with Haley and looked to be very happy! I would 100 percent recommend Haley for pet sitting services! 😊
Freedom was amazing!! She was super responsive and able to book last minute. She came over for a comprehensive visit before watching our puppy and cat and we felt very comfortable leaving our fur babies with her. While we were gone she kept us updated the entire time and sent plenty of pictures. If we weren’t moving out of state, we would book her again in a heart beat! Highly recommend!!
I cannot express how nice it is to come home from a work trip and find everything pristine and the dogs happy. Emily is the best!
Rachel is a great friend and caregiver to our furry family. We are fortunate to have met her through Rover. We hate leaving our pups but knowing she is caring for them makes it easier.
After watching our younger dog, Mara, a couple of times, we asked Charlotte to house sit with both of our dogs who each have some separation anxiety quirks. As always, she was prompt and very easy to communicate with before and during the stay and was happy to accommodate Wally and Mara's needs.
Ashley was fantastic! Our dog has separation anxiety, and Ashley did so well with her, respecting her space and being very accommodating. She was on time and super nice. Would definitely book with her again.
What can't I say great about Monica! She did a fantastic job with our two Frenchies while my husband and I were away for the week between Christmas and New Year's! We were worried about finding a pet sitter that would not only be available that week but also stay overnight for the week in our home, so it was so great when I came across Monica's profile. Monica responds to all messages very quickly. She came over our house for a visit before we left to meet the pups so they could all get to know each other. Monica sent us lots of photos and updates throughout the week on how they were doing. Teddy is 4 years old so pretty self sufficient but Gus is a very active 7 month still learning not to put everything in his mouth he finds and also learning to take the stairs in the house so he needed extra attention. Monica did great caring for them and all their little quirks. She was also very respectful of our home and everything looked great when she left. We will be definitely using Monica again. Highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs.
Anna's great! She took great care of my pets and house while I was away and communicated throughout her stay. 👍👍
Such tender loving care for my dogs and my home! Truly appreciate everything about the three day house-sitting! Would recommend this to anyone who wants their pets to have fun and be treated like family while you are away.
Alex did a great job with Chip while I was out of town. It was clear he gave Chip lots of attention and gave him plenty of exercise. Alex was also very communicative and provided great updates!
Odie had such a fun weekend with Erica! He was tired out when I got home and my house was cleaner than I left it. She is very thoughtful and kept me updated throughout her stay. We will definitely be hiring her again in the future!
