“She is the absolute best! I would not use anyone else! She treats our pets like our own; accommodates our every request and is as trustworthy as they come! Don't hesitate to have her care for your grumpy old dog, energetic larger dog or your cats. She handles it all with ease. I've already booked her for our next trip.”

About: I have 5 years of experience working for a boarding kennel where I routinely walked, played, fed, and overall took care of dogs of all different kinds of breeds, sizes and a wide range of ages. I am also majoring in canine training and management at suny cobleskill! I’m currently a full time college student so I will be unavailable during the following times… Mondays: 11-12:50 & 2-2:50 Tuesdays: 8-11:50 & 2-5:50 Wednesdays: 10-2:50 Thursdays: 8-8:50 & 2-3:15 Fridays: 2-2:50 I am free at all hours during the weekends! I will not be able to care for pets in my home since I am living on-campus. Hopefully in the future that will be able to change!

“Heidi was great. She sent us several cute photos, checked in with us about changing schedules, and seemed to care for our pupper like he was her own cannot ask for more than that!”


9. Brooke R.
“I was in a pinch and was not sure who was going to watch my three dogs. Right when I was about to cancel the trip I found Brooke. She took such good care of my dogs that I don’t think my dogs even wanted me to come back. 10 out of 10 would recommend.”

About: I’ve taken care of many animals every since I was 10. I hope to meet your cute furry friend soon because I know their pawfect! I’m currently available Monday through Thursday. I am also available weekends but I would have to double check with you to make sure it can be done! I will always have plenty of time for furry friends! I have a fenced yard where your pup can run around and go potty in. I also have two dogs that your pup can play with. I also have many crates that can be used if needed!

“This was the second time for Evan to stay with Dale. Once again, it was good to know our older guy was being well cared for. Happy to have Evan stay with our boy.”


14. Isabel B.
“Isabel is kind and responsible with animals - from cats to dogs to goats to horses. She's diligent, punctual, smart, and hard-working. You can trust her to tend to your animals, and / or your home. A good person all-around.”


15. Roman C.
“Raymond was contacted to pet sit for my 3 precious babies, Jack, Guam, and Marshmallow. He was fantastic to say the least, and the puppies took really well to him, which doesn't happen often. If he were still in New York, we would definitely hire him again for our family vacations!”


16. Jessica S.
“Jess is a very loving and caring person when it comes to animals. She's worked with dogs in the past before taking them for walks and making sure they're happy and healthy. I think she would be a perfect fit for Rover!”


17. Karis "Irína" R.
“Irina has been caring for my 3 german shepherds and 2 cats for the past year. I go away quite frequently, and I've never had any issues leaving my wild bunch with her. She's very quick to answer any questions I have and provides plenty of updates. I could tell upon meeting her that she has a special way with animals. My eldest pup is a rescue and has a great deal of anxiety when it comes to meeting new people, but he instantly loved her. My house is always spotless when I return which is also a plus. I would highly recommend her for all of your petsitting needs.”


18. Ashley E.

“Ashley house sat for us with our two cats and a dog , she did and awesome job , we would definitely book her again.”


19. Kirsten & Mark O.
“Kirsten O. Has the greatest asset for caring for animals - she knows and understands how important they are in our lives. She is also a responsible adult, follows directions and keeps in touch as necessary for our comfort level to keep pets close when we have to be far away. I know this from personal experience. Recently life circumstances dictated a sudden change in my life and the lives of my menagerie of two horses, two dogs and four cats. We were able to move the entire herd for the winter with the exception of one cat. Kirsten O. Stepped up and cared for him for three weeks until we could return to collect him. I am forever grateful that she is in my life. And so is Grampy, the cat!! She is excellent with dogs from small to large, has a good work ethic and takes pet responsibility seriously. Thank you, Kirsten O for a job well done and hope it helps with your Rover career!”
