“The best sitters in my area!! They are great to my dog and love to have her. They always send updates and pictures. She is happy to go with them anytime. We will be using these services in the future when needed :)”
“Kristen was great! We will definitely use her again. Very easy meet & greet, immediately felt at ease leaving our pup with her. We got plenty of updates on our trip and everything went great.”
“We found Yan at the last minute when another dog sitter fell through. She was able to take on our 3 dogs so we could salvage our roadtrip! Our girls are timid and very high energy, but she had them walking along her happily and playing lots of fetch. She sends lots of updates and photos to keep you in the know. Our girls came home happy and wore out from all the play. Yan is a very good sitter and we will be using her again.”
“Wonderful to work with and very accommodating! Took us on a tight schedule and the dogs loved her and the space they had. Will absolutely use again.”
“Susan takes great care of my dog, Gemma. This was Gemma’s longest stay with Susan and I truly appreciated the updates and care while I was out of the country.”
“This is the second time Erix has watched our dog Henry and we will continue to work with him in the future. Our dog seems to be happy in his care. Our dog happened to have stitches and Erix had to deal with some special protocols and a cone and he always is happy to accommodate.”
“Theresa was fantastic with our boy Buddy!!!! Would recommend her to anyone with a doggie!! He did well and was happy the whole time! Thank you Theresa”
“I have used Rover for many years now and Polina has been the best. Between the fast responses, last minute confirmed bookings for my pup and the amount of love and attention he gets while in her care goes unmatched. I would recommend her to everyone and I will continue to use her for all my bookings moving forward!”
“She was Fantastic”
“Christine and Matthew are wonderful! Great communication and very accommodating. Ollie is always a little nervous when I first leave him somewhere new, but he couldn’t have been more happy and calm when I picked him up. Will definitely try to book with them again in the future. Highly recommend”
“Samantha was great with my geriatric dog. She was patient with feeding, administered all meds, and gave Annika lots of cuddles and love. It's reassuring to know that I can travel and my dog will receive the level of care she requires. Thanks, Samantha!”
“80% sure Chloe considers them her family now and would leave me for them in an instant. After a long nap though because she’s so tired and sleepy which is no easy feat with this energetic girl. I got so many photos and stories of my girl. I’m thrilled and will be sending her back”
“Donna clearly loved on, interacted with, and cared extremely well for our dog. The videos were especially great as we could see our girl was not stressed at all and in fact was having the time of her life! I deemed this week her “Summer Camp” and wondered if she’d actually want to leave when we picked her up ;). Donna communicated frequently with pics and videos daily, which brought us joy and comfort; even continuing the day we were scheduled to pick her up. She went above and beyond and even sent her home with a new toy that she favored over her own ‘binky’ we sent with her. Actually looking forward to the next time Lexi gets to stay with her.”
“Very thoughtful sitter and sends updates if requested throughout stay. Had other dogs around as well and let's them all play together, but does have a bunch of baby gates to separate the dogs if needed, so each dog could have it's own little section of the house if there are issues with the other dogs. My dog seemed quite happy when we came to pick her up the next day.”
“Jocelyn ha been amazing! She is very responsive and keeps me informed all the way thru each pet- sitting experience with photos and texts throughout the day. She is so loving with my girl and always takes such good care of her! Highly recommend!!”
“I’m so glad I booked with Jaclyn! She did a great job taking care of my golden retriever when I was gone on a long weekend trip. She sent me pictures every day of my pup on walks and on the splash pad. She has 3 young kids who loved playing with my dog and they were so polite and helpful when we went to pick her up! We will definitely be booking again with Jaclyn and her adorable family!”
“Georgianne was a great sitter. She posted picks regularly and gave me updates on how my cat was doing. She also responded very quickly whenever I messaged her. I would definitely leave my cat with Georgianne again.”
About: I have experience with dogs for almost 40 years. I also have experience with cats and birds. I have had puppies through their senior years as well as taking some older dogs through the rescue that I work with. I am experienced with giving medication as well as any other needs they may have. I have experience cat sitting for family and they have special diets as well as medicine given twice a day. I am a teacher so will have the summer off to help throughout the day as well as evenings and weekends. I can come to your house, or have them come to mine. My pets, 3 dogs and a bird, are quite literally part of my family. They are allowed everywhere in my home. I treat all animals as though they are one of my own. I have experience with giving medication or special diets as needed. When I have pet sit for other’s I always will do anything requested. I am more than willing to send photos if requested.
“Yakelin was a very good sitter and her communication was excellent. My dog had a great time staying with her.”
“Maypud was absolutely phenomenal. I have a 1year old puppy and she made him feel so comfortable and safe. I would bring my baby boy to here all the time now!! 100% recommend!”

Kelly H.
“Kelly is such an awesome dog-mom! There was no adjustment time of my Brucey getting to know and be comfortable with her, he LOVED her right at first meet; so much so that I always said that if here were to leave me for another it would be her! She loved him and took great care of him when I was out of town; sending pics of the cuddle bugs together and taking him for all the walks and then some that he could waggle out of her! She has always been patient, soft-spoken and a calming presence with him, yet still being able to keep him being a good boy with her. I've seen her with other dogs that did not know her and I swear she is a dog whisperer in that they all just love her the mostest. She truly is a god send knowing that when I leave my Brucey with her he will be loved and cared for by her as much as he is by me and knowing he is a very happy boy with his "Aunt Kelly" taking care of him!”

Skaneateles dog parents share their Rover experiences
Mary did great with my anxious Border Collie. I was very comfortable leaving her in Mary's capable hands. Having only one dog or family of dogs is the ideal situation for Mei. Thank you for taking such good care of her!
Mary was great! We were so nervous to leave our pup with someone for the first time, especially because he can be a lot to handle, but Mary made us feel at ease leaving him for a few nights. We knew we made the right decision with Mary when Buzz ran right into her house without so much as a glance back at us. She sent us pictures of her kids cuddling and playing with our pup, and she kept us updated while we were gone. We'd love to book Mary again the next time we go away!
