1. Jenn & Brian H.

“Jenn & Brian have become our go-to sitters, they are consistently wonderful! Life savers! The only time Luna pulls on her leash is when she realizes we pulled up to Jenn & Brian's place 😊 She is always so happy to be there!”


2. Laura D.

“Laura was amazing with my off the wall super energetic 3 month old springer spaniel puppy!! She is a super experienced trainer and was amazing at providing a balance between structure/close monitoring for safety and a lot of fun play time for my girl. She sent a lot of updates and advice that was very helpful for our training as well! Laura went above and beyond and even gave me tons of training tips outside of the visit because my pup is very difficult and has been struggling with separation anxiety. Best value out of a Rover stay I’ve ever gotten!”

“Kimberly is super kind and chill. She watched my dog even though he had a cone. She kept me posted on how he was doing and was prompt at responding. I'll definitely be using her again!”


6. Cynthia W.

“My dog looks like he has had a great time with Cynthia. Cynthia was very responsive and flexible. She had a dog friendly house and knew how to take care of my dog. She was honest saying that my dog was nervous and uneasy at first. This is really helpful. Even though my booking was last minute, she accommodated all my needs.”

8. Meghana Devi P.
“Meghana is a dedicated and caring individual who goes the extra mile to ensure the well-being of the animals she takes care of. She is committed to the both physical and emotional needs of the animals, as well as the safety too. Having someone like Meghana to look after your beloved pets can provide peace of mind, knowing that they are receiving the attention and care they deserve. If you are considering a pet caregiver, I personally suggest Meghana would be an excellent choice with my personal experience. She is someone who prioritizes the well-being of your pets and understands the importance of a personalized and compassionate approach to animal care.”


9. Holly B.

“This was a last minute booking and Holly was more than eager to watch our Anakin. Holly was a delight to meet, very friendly, outgoing, and personable. She was great with Anakin and sent us updates, pictures throughout the day and had him play with her dog and asked if she could give him things before providing anything. Holly made us feel at ease and Anakin was very happy when we picked him up and even got a new toy which he has not let go. We highly recommend Holly for your pet care needs and will use her again if we’re in the area. Thank you Holly!”


10. Beth S.

“Our pup Avocado had a blast with Beth’s three dogs, each of whom was an excellent host. Beth was responsive and caring, and exceptionally kind and understanding when Avocado had tummy issues due to the fact that he (unbeknownst to us at the time) ate some food that disagreed with him before we dropped him off.”

About: . As cliché as it sounds , dogs are my life! I am passionate about the way they communicate. I highly enjoyed back when I volunteered at a foster rescue agency in Charlotte, NC. This opportunity polished my skill of handling myself in high pressure and high energy situations when it comes to dogs and cats. Working for Rover, growing up with dogs, and volunteering was another rewarding pet experience I had which gives you basic but hands on independent experience with clients and there furry loved ones. Rover is actually my main job. It’s enough to support yourself as well as I love the schedule flexibility. I am home most of the time and if I do leave it’s usually just to the grocery store or maybe to dinner. I love being home and watching TV or doing some type of new art. I’m studying to attend Animal Behavior College so I can train PTSD Service dogs and maybe even help socialize shelter pups. As I said I am home most of the time minus the normal grocery store run or what have you. They will get frequent potty breaks as well as a nighttime long walk to wind down so shall they stay overnight. If they have any problem areas,I like to dedicate a small slot of time to enrichment aka knowing as training time. Great way to help me practice as well as help any areas a part might need to work on… Not that they’re not perfect as is 😇. I’m a single mom who has my son by myself full-time however, please don’t think that will interrupt the level of care or undivided attention that your pup will have! My son loves animals he absolutely gets so excited whenever I have a client! Due to being a single mother, I am home full-time, and Rover as I said as my main job. Although I don’t even look at it as a job I seriously love what I do. Whenever I do have a client, I like to adapt to whatever your pups schedule is! I don’t mind getting up as early as 6 AM if that’s what they’re used to. I found that it’s better to keep them on the schedule that they have at home as it helps them acclimate to being away from home. I love my clients and I’m very signature with each one. I like to tailor my service based on the clients needs. For instance, if they are an anxious client with separation anxiety, I will sleep in the living room with them so they do not feel alone. I even like to do little blanket forts with my son and the client and that gives them a little den to feel safe in. If they don’t mind being in the bedroom they are more than welcome in there. I give each client free roam of my home. Whether you choose your home or mine, I will focus solely on making sure your fur baby is not only cared for, but stays entertained as well as meet all of their needs accurately and on time. What’s more is that my home is a calm, peaceful, spacious 4 bedroom with a good size backyard. In the backyard, I have a stake leash tie out so your pup can be secured since it’s not fully fenced in but they also will have about a 20 foot diameter to roam around and feel free. I never leave any client unattended out there however just for safety precautions. In my home, I have plenty of guest items in case you forget anything such as toys, food/water bowls, beds, even doggie sweaters in three different sizes for the colder months and doggy boots in two sizes in case it’s muddy/rainy! I offer meet and greets before the sitting so you and your fur baby can get comfortable and acclimated with myself and my home and I can then address any concerns and answer any questions you may have. During the meet and greet I will also ask YOU a few short yet detailed questions to make sure I take the utmost care of your fur baby while you’re away be it in your home or mine! Some of the questions include specific feeding times, vet & ICE information, favorite, toys, and games, and discuss any behavior issues or anxieties and how I can best comfort them! All pups get to go home with a thank you card and a new toy whether it’s a rope, ball, or squeaker depending on what their favorite is! As you’ll see, it’s an option to take care of your pup in your home if you’re more comfortable with that. When you book housesitting, this includes of course, first and foremost, taking care of your fur baby just the way I would at my house but also includes watering any plants, bringing in any packages or mail, and though it’s not specified through Rover, I like to go above and beyond, so I don’t mind doing any laundry or lighthouse cleaning. I assure you when you arrive home your home will be in the same if not better condition then you left it!


14. Erica H.

“Erica made my 1st experience so comfortable. I was so nervous about this whole process, but from the meet and greet, all my nervousness and uncertainty melt away like ice cream. I'm so glad I chose her to be my sitter for my Bella. I know my upcoming boarding appointment will be a smooth transition. Thanks Erica!!!”


15. Grace F.
“Working along side Grace as a dog caregiver for the past 10 years has been such a blessing. Grace has had experience with all different types and sizes of dogs, and she finds a way to connect with each and every one of them. I wouldn't take my pup to anyone else!”


16. Ella M.
“Ella has been absolutely wonderful with our dog, Ford! She’s incredibly responsible, reliable, and communicative—always sending us updates and photos so we know Ford is happy and well cared for. He gets so excited when she arrives, which says everything about how comfortable and loved he feels with her. It's such a relief to know we can leave Ford in the loving hands of someone like Ella, who goes above and beyond to take him on long walks and always spends extra time playing with him and cuddling him. We highly recommend Ella to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy, and responsible dog walker.”


17. Lindsay C.

“Lindsay was awesome! Super helpful with my last minute need for care for Millie and Thor. They spent the whole day there’s I received pictures throughout the day and she stayed in contact with updates throughout the day as well. When I went to pick them up they both seemed happy and well cared for. Very please with her service she was super friendly and welcomed my fur babies with loving open arms. I would definitely book again when needed. Thank you so much Lindsay!!”




18. Kimberly W.

“Kimberly has been great! She is very attentive to my puppy and has been taking very good care of him. She always provides me with updates and pics throughout the day. I would recommend Kimberly to anyone! This is my first puppy in a long time and i'm very glad I was able to find Kimberly because she has been very helpful and I was really nervous about leaving my puppy with a sitter but she has made it very easy for me because I know she takes good care of him. Her and her family have been wonderful to my Bentley and he seems to love them too!”


19. Bailey V.

“Bailey took wonderful care of my pup today! He had such a great time, and I could tell he was immediately comfortable and at ease with Bailey. She is very gentle, and so good with animals. Also, my pup has some health and spinal issues, and I felt totally comfortable leaving him in Bailey’s care. We’ll definitely be booking with Bailey again soon — highly recommend!”


20. monica g.

“Monica is a great dog sitter. She treated our dog Yuko like her own. We stayed in Buffalo last week of August for a few days and we used Monica for 2 days. I would definitely recommend Monica if you ever need your pet to be care for in Buffalo, NY.”
