“Marti did a great job staying with my girls for a few days! I had lots of updates and pictures and my ladies just loved Marti! Great communication and an excellent experience.”
“This was our second time with Jackie and it went great! She sent daily updates, which were much appreciated. Jackie also took really great care of my home and left things very clean and tidy!”
“Ryan did a great job looking after our two dogs. He arrived and departed at times we'd agreed upon and stayed in touch throughout his stay, sending us pictures and videos of our happy dogs and answering any questions we had about how the dogs were faring. We hope to book with him again in the future!”
“Haley was awesome! I have a reactive dog that doesn’t get along with strangers/ other animals so finding someone to care for him while I’m away isn’t easy. He’s also a tripod and has anxiety issues. Haley did so well with him and I felt very at ease while I was away. She sent great updates and left the house nice and clean for when I got back. Definitely will be using her again!”
“Jessie is great! If you have a dog with some personality issues, she can handle it. Our old pup is a tough customer but she won him over. Great communication and flexibility. Def recommend!”
“Joslyn did an awesome job watching my pups for a few days. She is responsible and kept in contact with me while I was away by sending pics and updates. I came back to two happy and relaxed pups!”
“We entrusted our beloved furry friend to Rave’s care for six nights while we were away on our summer vacation—and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. Rave was incredibly easy to communicate with and kept us updated every day with thoughtful messages and adorable photos of our pup. It gave us such peace of mind knowing our buddy was not only well looked after but genuinely happy and comfortable. We truly appreciate the care and attention Rave provided and wouldn’t hesitate to book again!”
“Ciara was a fantastic dog sitter!! She stayed overnight for a couple days with my two dogs and she kept me very updated (with pictures) the whole time we were gone which was great! I would definitely recommend!!”
“Nicole is amazing! Our other sitter cancelled on us last minute and Nicole was super responsive and accommodating with the short notice. We have three dogs and one of them has leash aggression, which makes him more difficult to take on walks. She was very knowledgeable about those kinds of issues and really eased my mind that he would be in good hands. The house was so well taken care of and Nicole texted every day with updates and great pictures of the dogs. Overall it was a great experience and we’ll definitely be reaching out again for our next trip!”
“Carolyn is absolutely wonderful person and caregiver to my 2 furry boys. She is calm, careful, respectful, dependable, responsive and just top notch -will definitely book with her again.”
“Gabriella was a life saver helping us to fill a care gap for our pups while we were away for our honeymoon. She scheduled a meet and greet right away and was very communicative during her time with them despite us being out of the country no less. Our boys are a rather large handful but Gabriella was more than willing to be firm with them. It was clear they were well loved and cared for and we couldn't recommend her more for your own pups!”

About: I've had many years of dog and cat care in my life, but most recently, I've fostered over 50 dogs throughout the last 4 years. They've ranged from puppies to elderly, from big to small, and from scared to comfortable. We've taken pride of bringing up dogs from shelters where they were scheduled to be euthanized, rehabilitating them if necessary, and placing them in the homes of people who will love and deserve them. There are 4 people in my home but I work a part time job and run my Color Street business from home so my family has plenty of time to care for and love on your furbaby. We've also got a fully fenced in yard along with 3 pups of our own to show them the ropes, so your baby will be well cared for and well entertained (by the dogs and my 2 kids.)
About: Whether it’s a walk around the block, some playtime while you’re away, or an overnight stay filled with cuddles, I’m here to make sure your furry family members feel safe, loved, and totally at ease. I have experience with dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and energy levels — from hyper pups to chill seniors. I’m patient, responsible, and genuinely enjoy bonding with each pet I meet. I’ll follow your care instructions closely and keep you updated with photos and messages so you never feel out of the loop. Your pet’s comfort, happiness, and safety are my top priorities. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pets like family, I’m your girl! I’m currently not working a traditional job, so I have a very open and flexible schedule to focus on pet care. I’m available throughout the week, including weekends and some holidays, making it easy to accommodate your pet’s routine — even on short notice. Whether it’s an early morning visit, a midday walk, or an overnight stay, I’ve got the time and attention to give your pet the consistent, loving care they deserve. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat the space with the same respect I would my own. I make sure your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for — all while keeping things tidy and stress-free. I’m happy to help with light cleaning around the house, like sweeping up pet hair, wiping down surfaces, or tidying up after playtime or meals. For dogs, I make sure they get regular walks, bathroom breaks, and outdoor time to burn off energy and stay mentally stimulated. For all pets, I stick closely to your instructions and routines to keep things familiar and comforting for them while you’re away. You can count on me to create a calm, clean, and loving environment while you’re gone.
About: I’ve spent years caring for dogs of all ages, breeds, and temperaments—whether it’s daily walks, overnight stays, or just providing companionship while you’re away. What sets me apart is my deep understanding of animal behavior, my calm, patient approach, and my genuine love for every pet I meet. I’m also confident in my ability to follow detailed care routines, and great at building trust with shy or anxious pets. Safety, reliability, and creating a stress-free experience for your furry family member are always my top priorities. Whether it’s a long walk, belly rubs, or just keeping your pet company, I treat every animal as if they were my own. Pet care fits naturally into my routine and brings a great balance to my life. I currently work part-time as a waitress, which gives me the flexibility to dedicate consistent time and energy to dog walking, sitting, and overall pet care throughout the week. I recently graduated with my master’s degree in Occupational Therapy from D’Youville University and am currently studying for my national board exam to become licensed in New York State. During this period, my schedule remains highly flexible, allowing me to provide dependable care, whether it’s daily walks, drop-ins, or extended stays. Spending time with animals is not only something I enjoy, but also something that keeps me grounded and motivated as I prepare for the next step in my professional journey. Whether I’m caring for your dog in my home or yours, their comfort and safety are always my top priority. At my home, your pet will be treated like family. I have one dog of my own—Stella—who is the queen of our house and loves making new furry friends. She’s extremely friendly and gentle, and would be a great companion for your pup. We also have a fully fenced-in yard, perfect for safe outdoor play and exercise. If your dog is more comfortable in their own home, I’m happy to care for them there as well. I understand how important routine is, and I always make sure to follow your dog’s regular schedule to help them feel secure and relaxed. Whether it’s in my home or yours, I strive to create a calm, loving environment where your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for.
About: I'm a natural animal lover and care giver. I currently have 2 dogs and 2 cats, and we all live in harmony! All of my animals are rescues and I'm blessed to have them. I can give you my word that I will care for your pets as if they were my own. Also since I am a photographer, I will also be sure to snap lots of shots of your beloved pet. What better why to treasure your furry friend? Of course, I love to walk and play with you pet. Assuring that you get the most value for your money every time. Not only have I grown up around animals my entire life. Additionally, I have been a dog walker for over 2 years. I can't wait to work with you and meet your family!
“My two dogs are everything to me. They are my babies and I usually have a family member take care of them. There was an emergency that I had to get someone else asap. I’m so happy I trusted Nafisa, my boys loved her. She was in communication with me while I was traveling and it made me feel less worried. She’s amazing!!”
“What a gem!! Kathleen took great care of my dogs especially my Tito who can be a handful. She even went above and beyond, bringing in my Amazon packages and mail, she even texted pictures of my happy guys ❤️❤️ . With Kathleen, I knew they were in good hands and I could attend my event and have a great time.”
“Thank you, Caitlin!! Caitlin was communicative and loving to Tuna. She took great care of her while I was traveling. I appreciate her very much and will rebook with her for any future trips!”

“Monica watched my dog for a week while on vacation. She did a tremendous job! My sweet girl was taken care of impeccably and I came home to a house that looked just like I left it. I would HIGHLY recommend her to watch your beloved pet when needed. She is watching my dogs (*yes, now I have 2) again this fall. If you want someone you can trust, Monica is your girl!”

South Abbott pet parents share their Rover experiences
We had a truly excellent experience with Callie. She was professional, reliable, and exceptionally kind. Our dog adored her and received the best care and attention—he may even miss her already! Even our cat, who refused to make an appearance, was well looked after. Communication was excellent throughout, and the updates and photos she shared were not only thoughtful but truly magazine-worthy. We felt completely at ease knowing our pets and home were in such capable hands. We would gladly book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone in need of a caring and trustworthy sitter.
Maria is a competent and dependable sitter. She is also very personable. One of my cats needed a daily pill and I was concerned if a sitter would be able to handle this task. There was no need to worry as Maria was up to it. She also treated my cats with care. I was very pleased with her abilities and would definitely hire her again.
We were very happy with Alivia’s care. Our two cats warmed up to her immediately and she took great care of them, as well as our home for a month! Everything was “purrfect” when we returned. She is very responsible and dependable, and we highly recommend her!
Completely exceeded our family's expectations! Sam was the epitome of professional and went above and beyond her role as a dog sitter. She handled our pet Rosie with love and exceptional care for 18 days, and left our home in great shape with tidy/ clean conditions. I would definitely use Sam again and we highly recommend her for your pet needs. Thanks Sam!
Katie did a lengthy meet and greet with Brody and us then spent a week at our home with him. We received daily updates and pics allowing us to truly relax while we were away. He was in great hands with her! We appreciate that she took great care of him and our home (dishes, mail, etc). We highly recommend her and she will be the first person we reach out to stay with him again!!
