“We drove from TN to NY for my cousins wedding in Buffalo with our dog so she could meet some family and see my home state. I’m not from Buffalo though so I was so happy to find Mindy to watch our dog Lady during the wedding hours! It’s always nerve wracking leaving your baby with new people but Mindy calmed our nerves with photos and a couple updates and I knew Lady was in great hands. She was also super flexible with us for our pickup and dropoff times changing, which we really appreciated!”

“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!”

About: Hello! My name is Akeira and I have a passion for dog sitting! I love walking, playing, and overall interacting with dogs all around. The best times are the times with puppers! That being said, I’ll spoil your dog with treats, affection, play time and overall fun. I work from home, so if you need a pet sitter during the morning times, afternoon/evening times then I’ll be available. I am very flexible with sizing of dogs, weight and special attention if need be for a dog. We have a spacious back yard, so your dog would be able to run around and play till it’s hearts content. I currently have 3 animals in my home. My two cats Frank and Squeak and my dog, Eleanor. I do have 10+ years of experience with dog care and training. If you have any questions feel free to ask away! Thanks. I currently work from home, so I would be able to provide adequate attention to your pup and frequent outside potty and play breaks. If they are on a specific time routine for food, I will be able to give them their food at that time. I offer the utmost amount of love, play time and potty breaks in my home. I am a very extroverted, fun loving individual who LOVES caring for animals and providing a home away from home. Should you have any questions, my response time is very fast. I also love to take photos of pets, so you would definitely have updates of your pets while they are in my care.
“Alexis is a wonderful dog sitter. She is responsive and understanding of my dogs individual needs. He's an older boy and appreciates a good lap or couch for requent relaxation and Alexis is willing to provide that. This was our second time at doggy day care with Alexis and he rushed out of the car to visit her again!”

About: I have raised two dogs (one large bread and one small bread) both from puppy to 16 & 17yrs old. I have had three cats (one still residing with me). Currently I dog sit two fur babies since 2020. In a week I am losing one of my buddies due to his parents relocating. I am already missing him and am hoping to make some new walking and cuddling partners. I work part time on weekends but can sit with advanced notice. Monday til Wednesday I am available for anytime on shorter notice. When I have your furry sweetheart I do not leave them by themselves at all,so I like to schedule when there is nothing to conflict with the time I have them. When in my house they have no restrictions from me, only what the parent wants. I have an outside bathroom area on leash for quick bathroom trips. I like to go for at least one or two long walks per day, weather permitting and your dogs abilities. I live in a walkable neighborhood and close to parks. When at your house I will follow whatever routine your partner is used to.
“Ashley is a wonderful sitter. She takes into account all my pups special needs and is almost always available on weekends which hard to come by on Rover. I definitely recommend her and Lucy loves going back to her house.”
About: I have had and cared for dogs nearly my entire life and now have two rescue pups of my own. I am more than happy to walk, bathe, feed, or provide any other services as necessary to provide the best care for your pup! I will be taking virtual or no classes throughout the months of January, February, April and May as I await the official and hopeful match into the neurosurgical subspecialty. So my schedule is completely open and flexible to all of your needs. I have a fenced in back yard, and an extremely walkable neighborhood for any animals’ needs. I live in a large home with a baby-gated kitchen compatible with any pup why is not yet potty or crate trained. I tend to free-feed my own animals but am more than happy to accommodate any other dietary requirements or preferences.
About: I’ve had pets growing up my entire life! The level of personal care I give every animal sets me apart. I don’t just feed and walk your pets — I take time to understand their routines, personalities, and quirks so they feel safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply quiet companionship, I tailor my care to match what each pet needs most. I treat every furry friend like my own, keeping you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is in loving, reliable hands. I currently work part time as a teachers assistant and home pretty much everyday. I’m off on the weekends. So I have plenty of time and energy to play with your pet! When your pet stays with me, they’re treated like part of the family. My home is safe, welcoming, and full of love, and each pet gets the individual attention they deserve. We make sure every animal feels comfortable, happy, and cared for. • Family Time & Play: Your pet enjoys playtime, cuddles, and fun activities with all of us. • Feeding & Health: I follow your pet’s routine, including meals and medications, to keep them healthy and comfortable. • Exercise & Adventure: Dogs enjoy walks, yard play, and indoor games, while cats and smaller pets get enriching activities tailored just for them. • Comfort & Safety: Your pet will have cozy spaces to rest and feel secure with our family. I have a huge backyard for play and plenty of room inside our home. . Pet Care At Clients Home: When I take care of pets in your home, my goal is to provide love, attention, and consistency while respecting your pet’s routine. I treat your home and pets as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable. • Updates for You: We love sending photos and messages so you can see your pet thriving while you’re away. My goal is to make sure every pet in my home feels loved, safe, and happy—just like they would with their own family.
“Monica watched our two dogs while we visited Niagara Falls for our anniversary. She sent us photos of our dogs throughout the day. She has a great backyard that our dogs can play. Our dogs looked so happy! She packed one of our dog food in the container that my dog didn’t eat, to save it for later. She even cleaned one of my dog without us asking her. It shows she cares for our dogs. She was great! Our dogs enjoyed the time with her a lot! Thank you, Monica. We highly recommend her!”

“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!”

“Lauren was amazing! We had never left Kirby with anyone other than family for pet sitting so we were very nervous. These nerves were completely unfounded because Lauren made the experience fun, safe and welcoming for Kirby. She came home every day exhausted and happy after playing with Winnie (Lauren’s sweet pup) all day and getting some special treats like pup cups. We would not hesitate to book Lauren again. She was communicative, helpful and is clearly a genuine dog lover. Thank you Lauren!”

About: I have taken care of dogs since the age of 8 when I had my first dog from the puppy stage to the senior stage. I also care for my neighbors dog who is a pit bull mix. We get along wonderfully. I will make drop in visits to feed him, take him outside for potty breaks and for play time. When my brother needs help, I will make drop in visits to care for his dog who is a chihuahua and also for his two cats. I make sure they are fed, litter boxes are cleaned and the dog has her potty breaks. Play time is a must!! Love and acceptance, the two key words for dogs and cats. It’s so easy to do for me. I don’t even consider it a job. I’m an Independent Sales Representative for Avon. I am home all day so your pet will receive my undivided attention, love and plenty of snuggles and playtime! I have a fenced in yard so your fur baby will be protected and safe. I also have a 3 year old Shih-Tzu dog named Lilly who would love to have a playmate! Your dog will receive the best care and love from me!

University dog parents share their Rover experiences
Annalisa is so wonderful.. my boy always comes home mad at me because he’d rather stay at her house and play. She is very easy going and works with changed in schedules, no problem. It’s been a few times where she came through for me very last minute. I trust her and her household with my dog.

Taylor was an absolutely fantastic sitter for Luke. Her care was top-notch, and the communication was flawless! We received regular photos and updates, which kept our minds completely at ease. Luke clearly had a great time and was happy and healthy when we returned. Taylor is professional, reliable, and wonderful with dogs. Highly recommend—we will definitely rebook!"
10/10 recommend Shannon!! I needed a last min dog daycare and I really lucked out. I had peace of mind everyday knowing my dog was having a great day with Shannon, filled with love, walks and TLC. Wonderful communication I could not recommend her services more
Amy took such good care of our little JoJo! She was flexible about our later pick up time and treated our little dog like a prince! He was so happy to be with Amy, it gave us so much comfort knowing that he was so well cared for while we were not with him. If we are up this way again, we will definitely book again with Amy! We highly recommend her!

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!!!

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.
