“Elizabeth did a great job watching our cat and we’d definitely consider rebooking in the future. She was very responsive and provided photos/updates.”
“Alexa is amazing! She took wonderful care of my three cats. She even got my non- friendly kitty to love on her! I highly recommend her as a pet sitter.”
“This was our first time using Rover, previously we have only left our animals in the care of immediate family. Ray was outstanding! The pictures that were sent each visit, documented the time we missed with Sofie. I couldn't be more pleased with the care and attention Sofie received from Ray.”
“This was our first time using Rover and we are very pleased with the level of care Jaidyn provided to our pups. We very much enjoyed the daily pictures! It really put our mind at ease seeing how happy they looked 😊”
“Elizabeth did a great job caring for my 3 cats. Two are seniors and the other cat had some recent health problems. Elizabeth communicated clearly and took care of feeding and watering all 3 cats plus some flowers on my porch. Elizabeth is punctual and reliable.”
About: I have taken care of my sister dog for 7 months her name was chichi. I had lots of experience with taking her to walks, making sure she used the bathroom on her walks, also bathing her. I am very playful with dogs and make sure they eat and have a clean bowl of water. I am currently working a job during the afternoon on the weekdays and the weekends but I will still be available to play with your pups on the weekdays some mornings :) I will always keep your pup in company. I love to watch over playful dogs and love to teach them new tricks. I’m a very kind and generous person and comfortable to be around with dogs.
“It was so reassuring to know my dog was in such good hands while I was away! Caitlin gave detailed daily updates and was flexible around some unexpected tummy trouble. I highly recommend working with Caitlin!”
“Kelsey is literally the best ever! I have a timid Great Dane and and Boxer Mastiff, and they love her and get so excited when I ask or tell them Kelsey’s coming today! I recently was im a bind traveling for work and Kelsey has been a lifesaver. She literally goes above and beyond without asking and I look forward to the Rover reports! Can’t say enough great things about her and definitely trust Kelsey with my furr babies.”
“Jessica was a great sitter for my cats even tho they hid most of the time, she followed directions and showed up on time. I would use her again!”
“Carolyn has been patient and reliable for us and our beloved dog! I felt she cared for our pets the way she would care for her own. Thank you so much Carolyn!”
“Beste was super attentive and went above and beyond updating us every time she took the dogs out with pictures and notes in their outings!”
About: For most of my life, I've owned and taken care of A LOT of pets. :) I've taken care of dogs, cats, guinea pigs, rabbits, and even a chinchilla or two! This past summer, I was lucky enough to have the chance to volunteer at the "dog house" at my local humane society shelter. This involved cleaning up after the dogs, cleaning out kennels, and letting them out to play in the yard. While I don't have much training with really young pups, I can promise that I'll take great care to make sure your pet is happy and cared for. Throughout the summer (May-August) I currently work Monday-Friday, but I can always take care of your fur babies anytime before 10-11 a.m. or anytime after 3:30-4 p.m. My hours are flexible, however, so I may also be available to work around your schedule, too! As someone who's top priority is my own pets' safety, I take pet care and safety very seriously. If you have specific requirements in your home you need me to follow, I will actively ensure I am following those instructions. Whether it is a drop-in, a walk, or watching a pet over night, I will be sure to work with you to make sure we meet your specific needs for each special situation.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was a little girl. Growing up, my family always had at least one dog in the house, and I would usually convince them to get more! I’m always asked to pet sit by family and friends as my love for animals is known by all. Since I’ve moved into my own apartment, I’ve volunteered at the SPCA and have fostered multiple dogs! I always need to have dog interaction in my life, so since I’m not quite ready to adopt, I take care of shelter pups or other people’s dogs when they need the help! I am currently an undergraduate student at University at Buffalo. I have a fairly flexible schedule as all my classes are on Tuesdays and Thursdays, giving me a generous amount of free time during the remaining days of the week. I currently live in an apartment with no dog of my own, however, I grew up in a house that always had a dog. I still consider my mom’s dogs my own, and visit them quite frequently. I’m the type to sit down and spend lots of quality one on one time with a pup. I never get tired of playing and would love to go on long walks around the neighborhood. I am also a sucker for spoiling dogs with treats :)
“First time using the app and overall very impressed with how it all works and also with my sitter Brianna. She did such a great job and I would highly recommend. It was nice to get photo updates also. 10/10 recommend”
About: I've owned and taken care of animals my whole life. I am a dog lover and I have been able to provide assistance and care for many of my friends, family and neighbors throughout my life. I am able to provide a safe, stable and healthy environment for pet care that would allow both you and your furry loved ones comfort and security. I work a part-time job with flexible hours, allowing me to meet pet care needs on time. I am a very organized and reliable person as long as we schedule! Based on what your specific pet's needs are, I will create a comfortable, consistent schedule that will meet necessary medical needs, exercise, food times, potty breaks, and comfort your furry friend will need during their care.
“Oh, sure I could go on and on about how wonderful it was to have Lauren as my pet sitter, but then again you'd probably be apt to think it was just another fake review. But I'm here to tell you that Lauren was by far better than I could have hoped for to take care of my 4 fur kids while I was gone for a week. She exceeded my expectations in every way. My hats off to you Lauren! Well done and thank you”
About: I love dogs and I've been caring for large dogs for over 5 years. I love walking them and play with them. I believe dogs are human's best friends. They're the best listener when you need to talk to someone :). I would like to take care of your dog while you can't. I will make sure they're being taken good care of. I have a large fenced yard and close to a dog run. I like taking them there when the weather is nice. I will tailor your dog caring style and make sure your best friend feels like he's home. Thanks for your time, and remember to enjoy the rest of your day and you know you can have a peace of mind :)
About: I've taken care of senior and mid-life dogs for many years! I am good about tailoring services to each specific dog's comfort and physical capabilities. I work full-time but I have altered my schedule to ensure my own pets have the care and love they need. I ensure adequate time for play and frequent feedings. I care for client's pets the way that I would care for my own - taking good care and paying close attention to the specific pet's routines and needs.
“My cats can be temperamental and all have little things they need for their care and Lana fit the bill to accomplish those things. She sent us so many photos of our babies and kept us up to date on their daily happenings. She is also the only person outside of my family that has cared for my dog. I was nervous about leaving him behind but she took the utmost care of him and he was doing great when we got back.”

“If you are looking for a pet sitter with an extraordinary care ethic and genuine love for animals of all varieties, you need look no further. Ciara is a kind and responsible pet owner to her three cats, and grew up with two dog siblings ❤️. She has taken care of friends and relatives’ pets while they were on vacation and thoroughly enjoys spending time with animals. During her tenure at the University of Alabama, she volunteered in the local humane shelter assisting with activities and affectionately interacting with all breeds of dogs. Ciara will be a great choice for pet care, and maybe more importantly, your pet will agree 💕”
