“Margaret was a great sitter for our two boys, and our home while away. She was a reliable communicator, knowledgeable, and most importantly our animals felt comfortable with her! Thanks Margaret!”
“Cori & Jamie took great care of our pups and kept us in the loop with plenty of communication and photos. A great intro to Rover and we hope to work with them again.”
“My dogs loved her and she was very responsive putting all my worries to rest. I recommend Kendra, she is very friendly and goes above and beyond for your pets.”
“Kristi was amazing with our crew !! She knew we had just taken in our Gracie as a rescue pug and gave her all the extra love and snuggles that she needed to feel safe and loved ....she spent lots of extra time in our home to ensure they didn't feel our absence even working remotely at our place which was great for our pugs/cats. She kept us informed of daily events and sent lots of snuggle snaps which made us feel better. Kristi even left us homemade biscotti for our return home. I can say with full confidence that Kristi is motivated by love of animals and helping others...we will most certainly hire her back to our home for all our Rover needs :)”

“Riley did a great job taking care of my for children. I receive lots of photos and interaction for the long weekend that I was gone. I will definitely use him in the future if he is available.”
About: While growing up, there were always 6 dogs in the house ranging from chow chows to a small morkie. With my friends and family, I’m the first one on-call to watch their furry friends. I’ve taken care of a Great Pyrenees puppy all the way to a 15 yr old chihuahua. I’m open to overnight pet sitting or even a simple walk :) I typically work Tuesday through Saturday during the day. So I’d be available for morning walks, morning and afternoon potty breaks, or even overnight stays! Sundays and Mondays I have open availability! Since every dog is different, I try to gauge the typical day based on the information provided. If your pup is very social and loves to explore, I’ll bring them on a scenic walk. If you have couch potato, that’s no problem at all!
About: I have helped take care of the pets in my family since I was little! I love the distinct personalities and quirks that different animals have. Spending time with animals is good for the soul and I would love to help take care of them in my free time! I am currently working part time, and need to be in Oswego on Wednesdays and Fridays until 4. I particularly enjoy going for walks on these days to move after a drive. I am free the rest of the week and available on weekends! I follow the directions given to me for petcare, and make sure animals get plenty of attention and play time while their owners are gone while being respectful to their space.

Margaret stopped by our house to meet Ruck before sitting for a few days. Margaret followed our instructions to a tee and provided us with photos each time she stopped by to Ruck for a walk.
Kate was great! She provided daily updates, house was in great condition when we returned from our two week trip, dogs were happy and well cared for, would definitely recommend and will use again!
Nia took care of our 3 big, lively dogs in our home while we were overseas for a week. She did a fabulous job with their various idiosyncrasies, including one who is reactive with other dogs. She communicated well, giving us a daily report and pictures, and also kept us informed of issues concerning the house. She administered supplements and kept an eye on an injury. The boys got plenty of exercise and playtime, and she seemed to genuinely love them. We would hire her again in a heartbeat.
Tammy did a great job dogsitting at my home. My dog enjoyed her company! She commmunicated well with photos.
Cammie did everything I asked her to, sent pictures and reports on the dogs. I would easily have her dog sit again

This included text and pictures. We are very happy with the care the dogs received. She walked and cuddled them and allowed them to sleep with her. Most importantly she asked questions when unsure.

As usual, everything was great!!! We don't know what we'd do without Adriana to take care of our pack!
We have a special needs dog who doesn't prefer meeting new people. Hannah was great about understanding our dog's needs and was patient about meeting him several times to allow him to get comfortable before the first longer stay. She was great about communicating and sharing pictures. It was a relief to know our dog was at home in good hands while we were traveling!
Such a sweetheart to work with and incredibly reliable. I look forward to working with her again in the future!
Exceptional! Great communication. Last minute accommodating. I came home to a cleaner home then I left it. Pups were in great spirits! Thank you so much!
Kara was a fantastic caregiver for my two dogs. She was a pleasure to communicate with, gave me peace of mind while I was away, and ensured that my larger dog got plenty of exercise. I highly recommend hiring her!
Our dog, Oso, loved James. He got the best walks and lots of attention while we were away. We'd definitely recommend James!
Madison was wonderful with Zoey, our elderly dog with some specific needs. We would recommend her as a pet caretaker. Thank you for taking great care of her while we were out of town!
Susan is always great but stepped up even more this time around. Always appreciate the care she brings into our home and for our pets!
Audrey was very flexible and sent updates of how Keiko was doing while she stayed with her. Very kind and understanding!
August is my go to sitter for my reactive cattle dog. He’s communicative, leaves my house cleaner than I left it, and best of all he loves my Roxy Jewel and she loves him. Wholeheartedly recommend him for any pet.
So happy that Savannah took care of my fur babies! I have a dog and a cat, and I enjoyed the daily updates and photos. She was always so pleasant to communicate with and took wonderful care of my home also. My cat, who is not friendly with everybody but immediately came over to meet her when she came in the first time, and I thought that was pretty impressive. I highly recommend her for any fur baby and house sitting gig!
Ralph took great care of Nacho and my apartment while I was away. Highly recommend him as a pet- and housesitter
Rhia took great care of my dog Chanel! She updated me with photos regularly and made it feel so at ease being away!
Cate is awesome. She was very enthusiastic to stay with my dogs. She kept me up to date with messages and pictures. She was respectful of my house., paid lots of attention to my dogs and even cleaned up a mess my dogs made while she was out. I hope she is available next time I need a sitter. I would definitely have her come again.
