We really like Alicia! Alicia is very responsive and easy to work with. They sent us a report after the visit with a video of our kitties and took care of everything we requested. We’ve already booked Alicia for house sitting next!

About: I am willing to take your pups on walks, hikes and adventures. We will play with his or her favorite toys. I will give your dogs time to use the bathroom when dog sitting. I will give your dog all the attention in the world because I know they are deserving of it. This job will help me in my future as a dog trainer because I will be able to work with all breeds and temperaments. I will get the necessary variety needed to exceed in my field. I encourage you to pick me as your dog sitter or dog walker because I am more than capable of giving them my time. There is nothing I enjoy more than spending time with dogs that need my help.

Christian continues to be my "go to" for prompt, kind and affectionate attention and walks for Lucy Dog at lunchtime when I am at work. Christian takes unprompted and quick action when unexpected situations arise. He is intuitive, mature and responsive, and he genuinely cares for my dog. I highly recommend Christian without reservation.

Joni was great. I was nervous leaving my cats home. They dont do well being on their own for extended periods. Joni played with them and cuddled with them. She also had no problem, on short notice, feeding them the last day as my neighbor could not. The cats are happy and so am I.

Dan was very attentive to my 3 fur babies. He stopped by to meet my pups prior to the drop in, which was appreciated. Bailey and Ripley took to him right away. Luna, who is usually skittish and takes awhile to warm up to new people, came around after a few minutes. Dan sent updates and pictures after the drop-in and was on time. I will definitely be utilizing his services again. Thank you so much, Dan!

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 13 years old. I started with walking a neighbors dog and now I have done over nights and short term stays. I have worked with both small dogs, big dogs, young and old dogs. I have experience giving medicine and staying over. I have another job but I am able to check in frequently I am also available to stay over if that is preferred. I have a car so if comfortable we can go to parks and go on the trails! I can do overnights or I can do check ins. I have a bit of a green thumb so I can also care for any plants! I of course will be respectful of your home clean up after the animals and myself.

About: Hi! I’m a passionate animal lover with hands-on experience caring for pets of all personalities and needs. I have been on Rover for several years and am starting up my business again. I LOVE being outdoors and am always happy to take dogs on walks, to the park, or even spend time by the lake. I have a 6-year-old chihuahua mix named Ghost, who I fostered before adopting. I completely understand how to support dogs who may be a little “sassy” and just need extra patience and love...because trust me, chihuahua's have BIG personalities! Ghost also has Addison’s Disease, which has given me several years of experience managing daily medications and have been trained by my veterinarian on how to administer his monthly injections. I’m confident and comfortable caring for pets with medical or special needs. I’m also a volunteer with Happy Tails (Ontario County Humane Society), where I continue to deepen my commitment to animal care. In addition to dogs, I have a cat of my own and am happy to care for cats too, whether that’s feeding, litter box maintenance, playtime, or just providing plenty of snuggles. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priority! I’m currently working from home with a flexible schedule and can work around your schedule! I’m happy to stop by whenever is convenient for you. I prefer at least a day notice in advance if possible. I will follow whatever instructions you provide. Does your pup need a walk? Does he/she need to play fetch in the backyard? Or does he/she just need cuddles? I’m happy to provide multiple levels of care because I care about your pup!

About: I've been a devoted dog mom on and off since 1998 and truly love caring for and walking our furry companions. While I'm currently taking a short break from having my own pup, my love for animals hasn't changed. I live alone and genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs, and I'm excited to support other pet parents through reliable pet sitting and attentive dog walking. Every pet I care for is treated like family. I work full-time Monday through Fridays. 830-5pm. Would be available to check in and walk your pups on the lunch hour and evenings and free most weekends. I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment for every pet in my care. I live in a spacious townhome on a quiet dead-end street. Perfect for peaceful walks. I'm also close to a lake with beautiful walking paths for longer, relaxing outings. I'm available for in-home stays and house sitting, and since I live alone with no pets or children, I'm able to give each dog my full attention and care. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities.

Riley puts me at ease when I have to leave Spade (my 14 yr old Bombay male cat). She keeps me updated with photos and a narrative of what took place. She goes beyond and even cleans any mess he’s created. She is always punctual and attentive to his needs. I will recommend her with a glowing review and hope to book her on my next trip out of town. The best!

About: Hello! I grew up on a farm where we had plenty of dogs and cats and your basic farm animals. I have trained and taken care of all different types of breeds. I have had English bulldogs to labs to Dobermans. I have gone to dog training classes and have experience with puppies and older dogs. My senior English bulldog passed away and I am not in a position to have a puppy full time. So I would love some animals around the house to keep my company! The days I’m available are when I’m off work and spend most my time at home on these days. Therefore I can fully take care of them, play with them and train if needed. Well in my home I have a fenced in back yard, but I would still watch and hang out with them if that’s where they wanted to be. I would take the animals on walks as directed by the owner. I live in a very safe area with families and it’s a fun neighborhood to walk around in. At both the owners and my home I would make sure the dogs always have water unless otherwise directed- this is very important especially in hot climates like CA.

About: I have had a dog or two dogs since I was born and I love every part of taking care of them! I have experience with both large and small dogs, and dogs with severe anxiety. Both of my family dogs are rescues, and one of them was adopted from a pound after a year living on the streets, so I am equipped to support and handle dogs who may have a lot of nervousness surrounding new people in their space. I am a recent graduate from the University of Maine relocating to the Geneva, NY area for work. Since I’m leaving my two beloved family dogs, Puck and Celly, behind, and won’t be able to have a dog of my own, I’m excited for the opportunity to walk, play with, and hang out with other puppies who may need love or quality time. I’m also looking for a way to explore the area around Geneva, and getting out and walking your usual routes or discovering new ones sounds like a great way to get out and about:) Unfortunately I am renting and unable to support boarding at my home. That being said, if you’re interested in boarding at your home, I’m more than happy to discuss—please reach out!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, and even bunnies! I’ve taken care of young animals and senior pets. From calm to rowdy and energetic, I’m always here for the experience! I love animals of all kind, and I am excited to take care of your pets next! I’m pretty much available whenever I’m needed. I’m currently only working part time, so I have plenty of time to hang with your pets!! I’m also available for ANY holidays. When caring for your pet in your home, I can adjust to any schedule/routine and follow it exactly. Pets can get stressed if their routine changes, so I’m just here to ensure their time away from you is as comfortable and easy (and fun) as possible. When caring for a pet in my home, I have a big backyard to run and play on a quiet street. I do have a couple cats so as long as your baby is okay with cats, they’re okay with it too!

Amanda has been awesome the last couple weeks! We needed someone to come by and check in on our new puppy while we are at work during the week. Copper loves spending time with her and she has been flexible to cater to what he needs each day. Thanks Amanda for taking great care of our boy.
