About: Dogs have always been part of my life, I truly can’t imagine a home without one! I’m the proud owner of a four-year-old poodle mix and have spent years training, walking, and learning everything I can from our amazing certified trainer to give her the best life possible. I’ve put so much care, time, and energy into understanding dog behavior, and it’s made me even more passionate about helping other pet parents feel at ease when they’re away. I’m self-employed, which means I have great flexibility in my schedule and can easily accommodate drop-in visits or walks throughout the day. Whether your dog needs a long walk to burn off energy, a quick potty break, or just some company and affection while you’re out, I’ll treat them like my own. Your dog’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take time to get to know each pet’s personality, energy level, and preferences so they feel at ease in my care. I’ll follow any instructions you share (feeding, water, meds, etc.) and always send updates and photos so you know how your pup is doing while you’re away.

Alyssa is doing a wonderful job with my anxious chihuahua! She has been so accommodating and has been willing to go slow to help him adjust. He usually takes many repeat introductions before he is ok with anyone new, but he absolutely adored her starting from the very first visit!

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up with three schnauzers and have over 5 years of experience caring for dogs of all kinds. From pups to senior dogs, shy pups like Luna, playful rescues like Moose, and spunky dogs like Pippa, I have loved getting to know them all. I have experience with feeding, administering medications, and maintaining consistent daily routines. My patient and attentive approach helps me connect with all types of dogs. I love giving them plenty of playtime, cuddles, and walks; one wag at a time 🐾 As a recent college graduate, I have a remote job that gives me the flexibility to work from home. I can take dogs on walks during my breaks or stay with them at home. I am available during the weekdays and weekends to ensure your dog has consistent attention, companionship, and care whenever you need it. Every dog I care for becomes part of my family. I provide walks, playtime, and plenty of cuddles, making sure they have a safe, comfortable space to relax. I follow their usual routines, whether that’s lounging on their couch, resting in their crate, or engaging in activities. I’m happy to help with anything that makes them feel most at home, including discussing any medication needs in advance to ensure their care is safe and consistent.

Absolutely amazing, completely beyond my expectations. Extremely professional meeting and working out key logistics. Very caring and attentive with my cat. Did an excellent job of caring for him and giving him a few minutes of active play/learning time each day that I was away. Took lots of pictures each day of him playing and learning tricks which really improved my days. 100% would recommend to anyone.

My cat felt safe interacting and snuggling up to John within minutes of first meeting him, and I think it’s because of John’s calm, intentional, gentle presence and demeanor. I couldn’t believe this is his first time cat-sitting because he was so good with my cat. He was quick to respond and was communicative throughout the visits, and asked many questions to get to know my cat’s routines and preferences. John was so polite and easygoing. He went above and beyond caring for my cat for the weekend, and this was a last minute scheduling given last minute plans. So grateful for John.

About: I have been a dog lover since birth. I am a certified personal trainer and tennis coach during the day. Dog walker/father 24/7. I currently work as a personal trainer and private tennis coach during the day. My schedule is managed by booking jobs on first come first serve basis. I have a small 12 pounds poodle mix named Sully. Born and raised in NYC, he is now 13 years old and loving the freedom of Syracuse. His treats are always organic and his water is always bottled. He loves a good probiotic which has kept his digestive system excellent. Safety is my biggest priority. I always watch the ground to make sure he doesn’t step on anything dangerous and I always watch my surroundings. After each walk I clean his paws with a water wipe.

Kilie was awesome! She showed up on time for every feeding, gave our kitties some love and attention and made sure they were well taken care of. We’ve never left our cats in the care of anyone other than family so we were a little nervous about how it would go, but Kilie was so good that we now feel free to travel as long as we can book her.

About: Hi, my name is Rachel. I have been around all types of animals basically my entire life, dogs being my favorite of course. I've been around small dogs, average sized dogs and larger dogs. Because I'm a highly energetic person and love to run and play, I will be able to provide a great and fun environment to your pup. Since I've moved from home ( New York ) I am no longer around my family pets, whom I miss very much, Rover gives me an opportunity to make friends with your pup's, so for that I'm extremely greatful and excited to get started. I am eager to meet yourself and your fur child, and I'm even more excited to become their very good friend! ?

About: I have two cats and an axolotl. I'm always begging my friends to let me dogsit for them, as I adore dogs, so I figured I should get myself on Rover. I have experience walking and sitting for large dogs. I'm a big animal lover and would love to care for all animals. I have a lot of flexibility during weekdays and weekends for pet care. Please message me for more specifics for scheduling so I can work with you to meet your animal's needs. I am receptive and respectful of your boundaries and rules for your pets. You know your animals best, so I am here to listen and meet your and your pet's needs. Safety comes first, so I am vigilant about keeping your pets safe in every environment. NOTE: I can only board animals in my home if they are well trained around cats, as the safety of my cats comes first.

Kilie is great. Macee actually seems to like her and she is not opposed to making sure she gets her meds and is happy and comfortable in my absence. Gives me a little freedom.

Shaz was absolutely amazing! I love how she had no problem feeding my ferals for me as well as my 4 kitties who are usually shy around strangers. The photos she sent made me feel at ease seeing my Miney-Moo enjoying some scratches and rubbing her face against whatever corner she could find. I loved seeing my Nala girl having fun and playing in the pics. My kitties looked so relaxed and content. Dante looked so cute chilling by her feet. I felt bad when I forgot to mention that Dante wheezes when he's mad. Shaz was super concerned which I appreciated her checking in and alerting me :)

Hannah has been super with our 2 dachshunds and 3 cats. She has been pet sitting for a couple of years with daily visits along with overnight stays when we’ve gone out of town. One of our dachshunds is very timid and guarded but warmed up to her very quickly. She even visited one day when the other dachshund chewed through the water line to a toilet and flooded the bathroom. She turned off the water and then sent us videos of what happened. Could have been so much worse if it weren’t for Hannah. We highly recommend Hannah for your pet sitting needs.
