“drop off and pick up was a breeze. my little pooch seemed to enjoy his stay as there were no behavioral problems noted by Steve and Patty, nor when we returned home. I believe he enjoys his time with his hosts and the other four legged friends.”
“Bee was amazing! It was my first time leaving Juno with anyone other than family. She sent me updates and pictures and he was an extremely happy boy! Thank you so much Bee.”
“Lorinda was simply amazing! She came to pick up Nova on time and consistently sent Nova's photos and videos. She is very passionate and patient with puppies as well. Having her service was a great experience for me, and I will definitely trust her again on my next trip to care for my baby.”

“Amy did a fantastic job with our dog Summit! She welcomed him with open arms as if he was one of her own dogs! She kept us posted with his current status throughout the day including pictures, and was always responsive! 15/10 would book again with Amy!”
“Charlene watched our dog Dale for 3 nights and he had a wonderful time. Charlene was so friendly and experienced. Dale takes 3 medications and that was no problem for her to administer. The dogs are welcome to sleep on the couches and beds and she really makes them feel at home!”
“Dana took great care of Loki on our long trip away! He got a little stomach upset (typical for him with routine/environment changes) and she was very attentive, communicative, and helped get him back on track. Everything was really smooth, and Loki always comes back happy & calm :)”

About: Passionate pet lover offering a cozy home away from home for your furry companion. With years of experience, I provide personalized care, daily adventures, and plenty of TLC. Your pet's well-being and happiness are my top priorities. Book a stay with me for a pawsitively delightful experience I’m available Tuesdays and Saturdays, as well as any time after 3 PM on other days, including overnight care.

I care for pets by making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and part of a routine, whether they’re in my home or a client’s.

I always make sure pets have fresh water, a clean space, and plenty of attention.
“Coop had just a fun time! As happy as I was to have him come home, I know he was sad to leave his new friends! It was so cute to see Justin's little girl with his leash walking him!!! Besties for life!! Would recommend Justin and his family to anyone!”
“I cannot say enough good things about the fantastic experience I received working with Gil. He took care of my girl like she was his own. He was in contact with me throughout the stay, making me feel very at ease, and comfortable.”
About: I only host one pet at a time (unless they are from the same household) and when a pet guest is present they receive my undivided attention. I have been a pet mom consistently for over 20 years and self-employed for 10 which allows me the greatest gift of being with my precious critters 24/7. After losing a furry family member to cancer in early 2026, I decided that the best way to fill the huge hole in my heart was by becoming an extra-attentive and compassionate fill-in for pet parents who need temporary loving care for their beloved animals. My highest priority is to ensure a happy, healthy and safe environment (with lots of affection!) while your animal is in my care. I've had the joy of parenting a handful of senior and special needs pets over the years, and they are the nearest and dearest to my heart and soul. All reasonable requests in caring for these sweet creatures will be honored at no extra cost, including special feeding requirements, administering medications (no injections), a dedicated private bedroom for convalescing and peaceful quiet time, etc. I promise to handle all of your concerns with the utmost care and attention and treat your animal just as I would my own. I am self-employed part-time as a vacation home host which allows me the opportunity to work remotely. When pet guests are present, my time will be spent alongside your fur baby with the possible exception of a quick errand, email or a vacation home check if the stay is mid-week. The home is a cute and spacious two story, 3-bedroom Greek Revival cottage on 3 lush acres with walking trails and creek access in Delancey, NY. There are two 2-legged and one 4-legged family members for all this space, and we would love to share it with your pets. I am pet mom to a 6-year-old friendly, quirky, neutered ACD named Lou. Your pampered pets can be kept separate from Lou, and cats are offered their own exclusive area on the second floor, if necessary. Dogs are welcome to roam and to sleep anywhere in the pet-proof downstairs or in their own crate, if preferred. Guests have their choice of a raised bed with squishy blanket, an open crate with cozy poof, or the couches downstairs for overnight stays. This is a cozy, cuddly, "pets in bed" kind of household, so arrangements can be made for Lou to sleep with my hubby, and pet guests can snuggle up with me overnight, if that's what is best for your pet. While Lou is perfectly adjusted to life with cats, visiting kitties can have their own sunny bedroom, spacious bathroom with litter box, and private time upstairs.
“Sheila was amazing! She took great care of my puppy while we were out of town for a week. She had excellent communication, prompt responses and sent daily photos and videos. I loved that our puppy looked like she had a blast! I will definitely be reaching out to Sheila again the next time we go out of town.”
“Nicole was a lifesaver! After getting over booked at a kennel during Cooperstown Baseball season, she came to my rescue. Great communication, flexible, easy to work with, updated me with pictures and she even trimmed my puppy nails. Highly recommend her.”
“Booked last minute and was very accommodating. I needed a day sitter for my 2 labs and received pictures/ updates thought the day. My dogs had a great day and were well cared for. Would definitely recommend and book again in the future.”
“Robert made our first experience with Rover, great! He put our minds at ease by responding to our messages and questions in a timely manner. He gave updates on our dog many times per day. Drop off was easy and he lives in a location perfect for walking dogs. Will definitely use him sgain.”

“Sammi was absolutely incredible with my cats. She went above and beyond for them — she kept me updated every step of the way and did everything she could to ensure my cats were comfortable. She truly cares about their needs; of course this is a job, but I could tell she put effort and love into watching my babies. I’d recommend her to anybody!!!”

About: I’ve been caring for cats for over 30years. Began as my own pets and have continued over the years as fosters, rescues, and furry friends. I’m comfortable with all breeds and temperaments, and any medical needs or disabilities. Have experience from bottle fed babies to seniors. Can care for your feline friends in their homes (because as a cat owner I know it’s really their house😹) or if they enjoy walks, I am experienced with that too!
“Colleen goes above and beyond. I will always have Colleen take care of my pets when I go away. Knowing my pets were being taken care of made my trip 100 times better. Lots of communication throughout, I would give 10 stars if that existed. Thank you.”
About: I’ve owned dogs my whole life and helped train them when they were puppies. I have 1 dog and a cat right now, and love playing with, walking them, and cuddling. I worked at a doggy daycare for 2 years and as a pet groomer for under 1 year, and I also earned my Dog Training Certification through Animal Behavior College. I adore pets and always have, and I strive to make any pets day the best with whatever they need! I currently go to school and work part-time. Working part time allows me to have more time to play with your dogs. I am able to spend time with your pups on Mondays and Wednesdays anytime 12pm or after. Along with Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays at any time! The first thing I will always do with your pups is let them get to know me by letting them set the course of our greeting, if they are shy we go slower. Whatever the dog needs is my number one priority along with keeping the Pet Parent informed. I will always be attentive when watching your pup in your home, and if there is medication that needs to be administered I can do so properly with the exception of needles/shots.
“Grace is so caring and listened to my specific recommendations for Baxter which made me really happy. She Always shared photos and kept me updated on both visits. I will definitely call her again❤️🙏”
“Helayna seemed very responsible and genuinely loves animals. However, prior to booking when I asked, she failed to honestly disclose how many pets she currently had in her household already. I was under the impression our easily-stressed out cat would be in a quiet home when that was not the case at all.”

About: I have over 7 years of hands-on animal care experience, including running my own dog walking business for 2 years and ongoing work in farm animal rescue. I had two dogs of my own for over 15 years and have cared for many rescue dogs with a wide range of personalities and needs.

I also run a nonprofit animal rescue from my home, so caring for animals is something I’m actively doing every day.

“This was my dog's first time with a Rover sitter. Lorinda did her best to get him settled. She understood he was not wanting to be social. She got her chair and stayed by him while he was in her fenced area. Couldn't ask for more.”

“Helayna and her family were super sweet with Sherlock and took such great care of him! He has separation anxiety but seemed happy and relaxed when we came to pick him up. She also sent updates and photos / videos which is always appreciated 💜 Thank you so much!”
“I can’t thank Gil enough for the attentiveness, caring, and love he showed to my 15 yr old dachshund! Gil took the time to listen to my wife and me when we described to him our pup’s tendencies and hinderances. We felt confident as we pulled out of the driveway that our old guy was in great hands! Gil made sure to send us photos of our pup throughout the day, as well as updates on its evacuations (very important for an older dog). Overall, I can say unequivocally that Gil was a perfect sitter for our elderly pup, and I would 100% recommend him to anyone needing a pet sitter in that area! Kudos, Gil!”

About: I’ve cared for animals my entire life, from cats & dogs to fluffy chinchillas! I have special experience working with powerful breeds, including retired and aspiring K9s, as well as senior & special needs pets. My home comes equipped with accessiblity tools like pet stairs & ramps suitable for even larger dogs. Our quarter acre is unfenced, but we do have a small enclosed area off the porch & several long leads to enjoy more of the grassy lawn. Safety is paramount. I’m comfortable giving medication, following specialized diets, & assisting with mobility issues. I’m an experienced pet parent who just said goodbye to my 17 year old rescue pitbull; I’d like to open my now-too-quiet home to your beloved family members. 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️ friendly ❤️ I’m a professional writer who works exclusively from home. My flexible schedule allows me to cater to any specific needs, take all the potty breaks, and ensure both enriching play & restorative snuggles. And treats, of course! I have a fenced potty area off my porch for easy quick breaks, and several long leads for exploring the unfenced portions of the property. My senior dog recently passed away but she left soft beds in every room, jars of treats, and a big basket of toys I know she’d love to share.

I'm always home and available during the day for boarding. We have nice, big yards and we live in a very friendly neighborhood! I'd also love to help take care of your babes on the weekends, evenings, and occasionally during the week! I have an unfenced but spacious yard. Our home has the capacity to keep everyone separated if needed, but lots of room to be together, too! We have plenty of room for a crate, if that's how your sweet babe thrives, but we also support snuggles during sleep, too!
“Nicole did such a nice job with our Tilly! Nicole communicated well and is very knowledgeable which put me at ease. I felt very comfortable having Tilly stay with her, she came home happy and tired out after a day of play. Will definitely book with Nicole again!”

Also keep there space clean, either it be picking up after them, and cleaning fish tanks. Currently, I'm between jobs and fully available. I can work any schedule as long as I get 8 hours of sleep at some point during the day. I provide a safe, trustworthy, and caring environment for pets of all sizes. With 13 years of experience, I ensure pets feel comfortable and secure, whether it's feeding, administering medication, or simply offering companionship. I prioritize cleanliness, keeping their space tidy—whether that means cleaning up after dogs or maintaining fish tanks. My flexible schedule allows me to give pets the attention they need, ensuring they feel loved and well-cared for at all times.
About: My name is Kevin Wall and I am Nurse Practitioner, Health education teacher and business owner for about 17 years. I've taken care of many pets for family and friends throughout my life including: Dogs, cats, pigs, reptiles (chameleons, snakes, lizards, turtles)spiders, birds (African grays, macaws, etc.), fish, horses, cows, ducks, chinchillas etc. My experience includes: senior pet care, medication administration (oral and injection), bathing pets, dog behavior and more. I am always learning new ways to improve the lives of the pets and all the animals I take care of while providing a safe, healthy and fun environment for them. I work mainly from home and I'm available to board or house sit, drop in, and provide dog walks. While in your home I provide mental and physical stimulation for your animals along with attentive care. I own my own home in the country where your pets will be taken care of. There is a lot of land for long dog walks in nature and for play. No other pets, traffic, people or circumstances will bother yours at my house. :)
About: I’ve been pet sitting alone for about 8 years now! Friends, neighbors, and other folks have relied on me to feed and walk their pets as well as house sit. I’ve worked with cats, dogs, almost all domestic farm species, amphibians, reptiles, and fish. I’ve just graduated UVM with an Animal Science degree, where I’ve taken helpful classes such as Intro To Exotic Pet Care class and Canine Behavior where I trained local shelter dogs. Through my studies, I’ve learned about nutrition, anatomy, welfare, husbandry, and diseases/ailments for many species. I’ve worked with a lot of senior animals who have a variety of backgrounds at a farm sanctuary, so I’m comfortable working with pets with special needs. I’ve also been working as an ICH Tech at an equine clinic so I am comfortable with medications such as injections as well. I love talking about my experience and am happy to answer any questions people may have! I love going for walks and hiking! The outdoors are so beautiful and even more lovely when you get to share them with a pet. Early morning walks are my personal favorite. Pet visits also work well in my schedule. I don't mind stopping by to let a pet out, feed, clean, and provide enrichment. I love reading and am happy to hang out with pets outside while I do so. Clear communication and meeting the needs of the client are the most important pieces to pet care to me. I like to take notes about expectations and routines, such as feeding or play time, that way I can provide pets with the most consistency and familiarity I can. I like to update folks about their pets by sending photos and messages. And I keep my phone nearby with notifications on throughout my time so that I am available if folks have any questions, concerns, or are just missing their pet and would like a picture!
About: Animals and nature have been my greatest passion for as long as I can remember. I’ve been exposed to, and well acquainted to a variety of animals, including fish, rodents, reptiles, dogs, cats, horses, chickens, and even a baby squirrel rescue! I am also a volunteer dog walker at my local shelter, which is my therapy and brings me great happiness. I have two dogs of my own that I’ve raised since they were eight weeks old. They are my entire world. I am knowledgeable in basic dog training and obedience, and very observant and understanding of animal behavior. Nothing brings me more joy and happiness in life than being surrounded by the love and purity of animals. I currently have open availability. I have a very flexible and adaptable schedule and I am open to what works best for you and your pets needs. I am with my dogs all day everyday. They get all of my love and attention. I constantly monitor for potential hazards and act accordingly in order to limit any risks. Cleanliness and order is my main priority as I value a clean and tidy home. I have fresh water out all day and I feed them twice a day. My dogs get a specialized high end kibble which I supplement with fresh meat, organ, eggs, fruits, veggies, goats milk, coconut oil, bone broth, salmon oil, turmeric and a daily vitamin. I wash my dogs as needed or every two weeks. I brush their teeth, fur, and clip their nails weekly as well. I only have high quality chew bones and other toys available that don’t pose a risk as my dogs are heavy chewers.
About: My attention to detail and absolute top notch care. I will treat your pets like they are my own. I have experience with both senior animals and young. I will be available 7 days a week, currently only working part time, looking to make watching and taking care of animals a full time thing. I live in a pet friendly apartment, however, I do prefer to travel and take care of pets, in the comfort of their own homes.

“drop off and pick up was a breeze. my little pooch seemed to enjoy his stay as there were no behavioral problems noted by Steve and Patty, nor when we returned home. I believe he enjoys his time with his hosts and the other four legged friends.”

“Lorinda was simply amazing! She came to pick up Nova on time and consistently sent Nova's photos and videos. She is very passionate and patient with puppies as well. Having her service was a great experience for me, and I will definitely trust her again on my next trip to care for my baby.”

“I cannot say enough good things about the fantastic experience I received working with Gil. He took care of my girl like she was his own. He was in contact with me throughout the stay, making me feel very at ease, and comfortable.”
About: I only host one pet at a time (unless they are from the same household) and when a pet guest is present they receive my undivided attention. I have been a pet mom consistently for over 20 years and self-employed for 10 which allows me the greatest gift of being with my precious critters 24/7. After losing a furry family member to cancer in early 2026, I decided that the best way to fill the huge hole in my heart was by becoming an extra-attentive and compassionate fill-in for pet parents who need temporary loving care for their beloved animals. My highest priority is to ensure a happy, healthy and safe environment (with lots of affection!) while your animal is in my care. I've had the joy of parenting a handful of senior and special needs pets over the years, and they are the nearest and dearest to my heart and soul. All reasonable requests in caring for these sweet creatures will be honored at no extra cost, including special feeding requirements, administering medications (no injections), a dedicated private bedroom for convalescing and peaceful quiet time, etc. I promise to handle all of your concerns with the utmost care and attention and treat your animal just as I would my own. I am self-employed part-time as a vacation home host which allows me the opportunity to work remotely. When pet guests are present, my time will be spent alongside your fur baby with the possible exception of a quick errand, email or a vacation home check if the stay is mid-week. The home is a cute and spacious two story, 3-bedroom Greek Revival cottage on 3 lush acres with walking trails and creek access in Delancey, NY. There are two 2-legged and one 4-legged family members for all this space, and we would love to share it with your pets. I am pet mom to a 6-year-old friendly, quirky, neutered ACD named Lou. Your pampered pets can be kept separate from Lou, and cats are offered their own exclusive area on the second floor, if necessary. Dogs are welcome to roam and to sleep anywhere in the pet-proof downstairs or in their own crate, if preferred. Guests have their choice of a raised bed with squishy blanket, an open crate with cozy poof, or the couches downstairs for overnight stays. This is a cozy, cuddly, "pets in bed" kind of household, so arrangements can be made for Lou to sleep with my hubby, and pet guests can snuggle up with me overnight, if that's what is best for your pet. While Lou is perfectly adjusted to life with cats, visiting kitties can have their own sunny bedroom, spacious bathroom with litter box, and private time upstairs.
“Sheila was amazing! She took great care of my puppy while we were out of town for a week. She had excellent communication, prompt responses and sent daily photos and videos. I loved that our puppy looked like she had a blast! I will definitely be reaching out to Sheila again the next time we go out of town.”
“Adriana was amazing! She took care of Denis as he was her own. Provided pictures and updates via text! If we are ever back in the CNY we will definitely be contacting her to watch our boy.”
“Nicole was a lifesaver! After getting over booked at a kennel during Cooperstown Baseball season, she came to my rescue. Great communication, flexible, easy to work with, updated me with pictures and she even trimmed my puppy nails. Highly recommend her.”
“Booked last minute and was very accommodating. I needed a day sitter for my 2 labs and received pictures/ updates thought the day. My dogs had a great day and were well cared for. Would definitely recommend and book again in the future.”
“Robert made our first experience with Rover, great! He put our minds at ease by responding to our messages and questions in a timely manner. He gave updates on our dog many times per day. Drop off was easy and he lives in a location perfect for walking dogs. Will definitely use him sgain.”
About: I’m a huge animal lover. When I was little, I had a few dogs growing up and was surrounded by my family’s pets as well. I give all animals love and affection. I’m that girl that gets distracted more by dogs than anything else. Your dog is a priority to me. I make sure to walk and keep your pup happy, healthy and well fed. Definitely a few treats on the side. I love taking care of animals and being around them. Dogs and animals alike are like family to me. They deserve all the love in the world. There is plenty of time for me to get out and about with your faithful companion. I will be able to give them long walks and plenty of time to play. In your home, I can play with your dog with their toys and if you have a yard, we can play fetch and lay out in the sun. Here at my home, you can be assured that I will love them just the same, if not more and keep them on their schedules.
