“Kilie was a wonderful pet-sitter who put our minds at ease as first-time Rover users. She was exceptionally accommodating of our cats’ early morning and late evening mealtime schedule in order to minimize disruption to their routine while we were out of town for a week. All of Kilie’s communication was prompt and friendly, and we could tell she understood our two cats’ distinct personalities and needs while in her care. All-around wonderful experience, and we will definitely seek her out again in the future!”

9. August S.
“Would recommend August to anyone looking for help with their pets. They are caring and professional and can work with those "tricky" pets. One of our dogs is more skittish when meeting new people and they were able to make him feel comfortable. They are also very communicative and provide lots of information so you know your pets are in good hands”

Will definitely be using her next time I leave town. She treated Roscoe as if he was her own!”

14. Ayumi S.
“We have two cats and recently went on a trip for a week. Ayumi came to check in on our cats daily. She made sure our cats had food, clean water, and a clean litter box. It was reassuring to know that our cats were doing well while we were away and someone reliable and trustworthy was checking in on them. Would book again without hesitation for our next trip!”

16. Rachel L.
About: I have two dog at home back in Buffalo where I am originally from. My friends ask me to help them take care of their dogs whenever they’re on vacation. I am currently on the pre-vet track studying nutrition science & neuroscience at Syracuse University with an intention to apply for vet school for Fall 2028. I have interned at vet clinics and volunteer as a dog walker at local dog shelters. I am currently a full-time student at Syracuse University. I have a 3.5 hour break between my first class and my next class which I have availability to pet sit/dog walk. I am free on Fridays (after 11am) and all day Saturday & Sunday during the school year. Summer hours are more available. I have experience in animal care as I take care of my own pets at home and I have experience at vet clinics which allows me to have a wider knowledge about animals especially dogs.

“Kayla was very attentive and did a great job!”
18. Valeria P.
“Val is absolutely wonderful! She's trustworthy, prompt, and thoughtful. Most importantly, she took fabulous care of my shy and nervous kitty when I was out of town. Val sent me the cutest photos during each visit, and my cat loved Val right away--always a good sign! I'll definitely be asking her to catsit the next time I need help.”
