About: Recently lost my 14 year old corgi named Penny. The house feels very empty and since I’m not looking into getting a new dog I thought dog sitting would be a nice option to try. Fenced yard, hardwood floors, easily divided up rooms if needed. I work Monday - Thursday 7:30-5 but if needed would be able to come let a dog out during lunch. I love dogs and would treat any animal as if it was my own. I work Monday - Thursday 7:30-5. Able to come home during lunch to let a dog out if needed. My evenings are very open and can be dedicated to the dog I am watching. Fenced yard, no children or dogs in the home. There is an inground pool but dogs will be monitored. No neighbor dogs on either side to cause dog stress or barking
“Emmy was awesome and super caring with Brownie. She immediarely welcomed him and made him feel at home. Her home has a really nice backyard with plenty of space for dogs. I know Brownie had a great time with Emmy and her family!”
“It was the 1st time, and I'm very happy with Leah. When I was dropping off my dog, I knew that my dog would love her. Leah kept giving me updates constantly. I definitely trust Leah with my dog and will rebook with her again.”
About: As a fellow pet parent, I know how much trust it takes to leave your dog with someone new. That’s why I treat every pet like part of my own little furry family—warm cuddles, silly moments, and all. Your pet’s happiness and comfort mean everything to me. I’m available for boarding pet care on the weekends mainly. Also, open to be flexible and accommodate special requests. Please message me with your questions. I have a smaller fenced yard for quick potty breaks throughout the day and take my own two doggies for regular walks in the neighborhood as well. A minimum of 2x per day, rain or snow.
“Ciara was great with Rex! She sent lots of picture updates, which really put my mind at ease, and he seemed to do really well in her care. I appreciate the attention and communication—would definitely recommend and book again.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Alabama
“Vidya was absolutely fantastic, taking care of our dog for the afternoon while we were in town visiting relatives. She was very conscientious and reliable, and provided many updates and photos throughout the afternoon. Highly recommended, we will book her again the next time we are back in town.”
“Jenn & Brian have become our go-to sitters, they are consistently wonderful! Life savers! The only time Luna pulls on her leash is when she realizes we pulled up to Jenn & Brian's place 😊 She is always so happy to be there!”
“Carol is such a sweet lady and a true dog lover. She is hard to beat. I wish all Rover’s were this kind, loving and caring. She truly cares. She played with Murmaid all day, I could tell, because when my baby got in the vehicle she went right to sleep and that never happens with this high energy Boston Terrier 10 month old. I highly recommend her. She is amazing. She sent pics and communicated every day. Murmaid was pulling me to her door and pawing to get in for each drop off. Murmaid just loved her. I am making a special trip to come back through so Murmaid can spend a little more time with Carol. It was the best Rover experience I have ever had, and I use Rover all the time while traveling with my baby across the country.”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life. I’m known as the “animal whisperer”. All animals seem to love me, and everyone can see that. I do this as my actual job, so I’ll be home all day with your pets. I will treat them as if they’re my own animals. They’ll get some one on one time, long walks, play time, cuddle time, snacks (like peanut butter), and so much more. People call my home the “pet’s paradise”.
About: I’m a fun, patient, attentive and big-hearted animal lover with a lifetime of experience caring for pets. Growing up with a variety of animals, including dogs, cats, and reptiles, I’ve developed a deep understanding of their needs. I’ve cared for pets ranging from reptiles and fish, to senior dogs and cats, to puplies and brand new kittens. At 19, I adopted my first dog, a Bull Mastiff, and raised him from a 6-week-old puppy to a 140-pound adult. I’ve also cared for my family’s cats after my mother passed, and I lovingly adopted a 12-year-old Cairn Terrier, providing him with care until his passing at 16.5 years. While I have no formal training, I have a natural ability to train animals with patience and love, always using a firm yet gentle approach. I’m experienced in handling a variety of species, including reptiles like ball pythons and geckos, and have even assisted with rescuing wildlife. What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals, my diverse experience, and my ability to provide both playful and responsible care. Your pet will feel loved, safe, and well-cared for with me! I live alone, lost the last of my own critters, and am a seasonal traveler. I go to Argentina for a couple months every winter so I can’t responsibly own pets of my own, but I am built to be around them! I need animals in my life so this is as much for me as it is for you. I work remotely so I have a lot of flexibility especially when it comes to sitting or walking from my home or town. I can be very attentive to your animal to whatever fits their comfort level. I am very active so am I game for hikes, walks, and lots of playing, but can also enjoy a nice sit and snuggle with an elderly friend. I live alone so there would be no triggers from children, other animals, etc. once they’re in my house. I live walking distance from several trails and parks. I also love taking dogs for car rides! Whatever they wish. I am very attentive so I ensure your baby will be content and cared for to the best of our ability.
About: It's Summertime!!! Bring your Pupp-a-ccinos and PuppCorn for a sleeprover to talk about. I can give quality care and attention for your furbaby all day and bonus I am a licensed veterinary technician Are you looking for someone who can stay with your fur baby and not be kenneled? I'm your woman. I am a stay-at-home dog mom. Typical schedule is I am an early bird and go on morning walks or hikes. I leave for 1-2 hours for gym dependent on class schedule. The rest of the time is spent at home so I have plenty of time for multiple walks, activities, and anything else your fur baby may want. Prior to drop off provide Proof of Rabies and Flea/Tick Prevention Please bring a harness for safety on walks ( I will purchase one if unable to provide or if it's an improper fit) Cleaning fee of $35 will be added for accidents in house
“Charlette accommodated our day care request last minute and took such great care of our dog! She was kind when we needed flexibility with drop off. She sent adorable pictures through the day, and our dog was so happy and tired on pick up. Highly recommend!”
“Nicole is fantastic! She is so knowledgeable and experienced with animals. She took excellent care of my puppy, and he got along great with hers. She is quick to respond and sent so many cute pics and videos of Pickles throughout the day! We will definitely rebook :)”
“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!”
“This is the first time I’ve left my pups with a private daycare and I was nervous about it. I shouldn’t have been! My dogs loved it and they now run up the stairs to Alexis when we arrive in the morning. Alexis is a great communicator and I appreciate the pictures she sends. We are now regulars and I highly recommend Alexis!”
“Very nice people and effective communication for any issues or questions about my dog, Pluto Gave me updates during his stay with them! I also would like to thank them for working with me around my late arrival for pickup and thank them for taking him in, even if it was a last minute request.”
About: We have taken care of many Dogs over the years between the 2 of us. No special trainings or skills just basic training with lots of patients and love We both work from home 8am to 5pm. So we are here for your puppers through the week. We both have weekends off. We have part of the front/side of our yard fenced. I also have an invisible fence that can be used if your dog is trained on it. I take 2 15min breaks and half hour lunch during the week. Can take them to Krull Park that is nearby after I get done with work, and on the weekends. Go out have fun. We got you! We have a fenced in yard in the side/front of the house. We also have deep steaks with long cable leashes for them to roam around on the other part of the yard. If your dog is trained on an invisible fence, we have one also with a extra collar. Will never take them off leash unless they are in the fence, on the cable, or in the house.
About: Loving, cozy home close to the airport. I have taken care of dogs of all kinds from German shepherds to labs to cocker spaniels and pit bulls. My house is pretty close to the Buffalo airport. Great walkable neighborhood. I work part time so I have lots of time to spoil your fur baby! I have a large backyard. I have 2 cats that can easily be separated in my finished basement if your dog doesn’t like cats.
About: Hi there! I'm Caitlin, and for the past 13 years, I have gained extensive education, training, and experience with all types of animals. I have been with Rover since 2014 and have had over 190 clients through the years. As a proud professional, the experience under my belt includes: - Solo management of a small, rural cat shelter - Behavioral and adoption staff at a large urban animal shelter - Dog and cat training - Fear free certification - Management staff for boarding and daycare - Professional bathing/grooming - Exotic animal handling - Bachelor's degree in Animal Behavior Besides my professional experience, I have been a pet owner my whole life - dogs, cats, and exotics included! Right now - I have four beloved cats. ** Currently, my preferred clients are cats, small dogs, seniors, and more relaxed pets. I am not suited to care for strong, energetic dogs who need extensive exercise. ** In-home boarding and dog daycare are services I vet very extensively and am particular about due to my cats. While I do offer the services, it is always better to choose a house sit/drop in visit with me instead - these I can be much more flexible about. Some other services I provide beyond the basics include: - Wedding pet care and assistance - Pet transportation - Travel pet care and assistance - and more! I am a FULL TIME pet sitter! While some others may need to step out for a full work day, I commit my time to YOUR pet(s) and YOUR pet(s) only - which sets me apart from other sitters. You may see that my husband, Josh, is also on my profile. He will occasionally help me with some services, but I am the primary sitter. I will always let clients know if he is going to be present for any services. Safety for pets and myself is and always has been my top priority. I am proudly fear free certified and have worked on extensive safety training measures in all of my professional working environments. I know how to use all types of equipment (leashes, collars, harnesses, e-collars, etc) with ease.
“He’s a great person and a huge animal lover! Apollo loves him and loves playing with the other dogs. I highly recommend Jose for all your pet sitting needs, he’s the best!”
About: One of my biggest passions is saving animals lives through fostering. My fostering experience has provided me many skills necessary to care for animals with varying needs, including young kittens, diabetic cats, XXS chihuahuas, and XXL breed dogs. Due to my experience in healthcare, I've provided many sub-cutaneous injections for diabetes maintenance and drug responsibilities. I've handled many small rodents including mice, and am comfortable with handling and providing care for smaller pets. I've managed care for animals with severe anxiety by providing them with daily psychiatric meds, and animals needing physical support with supplements, weight loss interventions (diet foods and safe, increased exercise), as well as animals with stranger fear. As a full time professional student, my mornings are often occupied by lectures, and Tuesday/Wednesday afternoons may be partially occupied for school responsibilities. I am very flexible, and can attend to pet care duties before, in between, and after my classes. I am open to over night stays and higher-maintenance care tasks, such as providing care for animals that require behavioral or psychiatric support during their family members absence. I enjoy playing with pets, within their boundaries of comfort. I have become apt at recognizing animals mood states, so I can properly respond to fear, excitement, anxiety, pulling on the leash, and over reactivity as necessary. I enjoy taking dogs on frequent walks if that is comfortable for them, and give occasional treats to reward 'good' behavior, such as sitting or laying down on command, and waiting to be fed. I am comfortable being cuddly with animals, and being very close and physical with them, if that fits in their boundaries. In my apartment I cannot host dogs, however, there are many parks and fields right in my backyard that I can bring your dogs to that they will enjoy.
“Rudy had a wonderful time with Jaddua. He reassured us with many updates, photos, and was a very caring dog sitter. He loved giving Rudy all the attention and love he needed. We will definitely book again in the upcoming future. Thank you!”
“Thank you very much, Rachel, for watching my 10-year old Siberian Husky rescue named Juneau Elizabeth. I know she misses me when we are apart, but your patience and willingness to follow my suggestions helped Juneau relax. I will not hesitate to reach out to you when we require such assistance in the future.”

“Hannah is awesome and super sweet. It can be hard trusting a “stranger” with our puppy but I did not need to worry one bit. Hannah showed Alfie so much love and was so kind to me. She was prompt, was an excellent communicator and friendly to everyone she encountered with Alfie. I am so lucky to have found her.”
About: I have owned animals my whole life. I have also been pet/house sitting for family, friends, and co workers for at least 10 years now! I am currently in school so I have class 4-12 on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. I am available for services any other day and time. In my clients home I will provide the best and most playful care for each dogs individual needs. My main focus is to keep them comfortable while their humans are away.
About: I have had both cats and dogs for nearly my entire life. I have owned and cared for dogs of all ages and sizes, some with special needs. I believe that for the love and companionship animals offer us, the least we can do for them is make sure they are well loved back and always happy and healthy! My summer job is ending September 26th and my schedule will be wide open after that while I am on the hunt for a new job. With enough bookings, I would love to make helping you take care of your pets my job! 😊 I look forward to helping with your pet care needs and making new friends! ☺️ If you have a fenced in yard, I am more than happy to play with your pup in their own yard. If you do not have a fenced in yard, I would just ask that their leash and a secure collar be placed in an area where it is easy to find, as well as instructions of how far/long you would like them to be walked/exercised. I am also willing to accommodate any other requests clients may have to ensure the safety and well being of their pets.
About: I have had dogs and cats, and taken care of other small animals for my family for years. I understand the bond of families with their animals and respect that! I am retired from full time work, but do participate in volunteer activity. A part time role of caring for your pet as needed will best fit my schedule. Or providing in home care for your pet while you travel will work as well. I am happy to come and take care of your pets in your home, where they are comfortable in their own environment. I respect the pet owners preferences on how best to care for their beloved pet.
“Natalie is great. She let my dog get comfortable with her before taking him for his walk. She was on time and put me at ease as I entrusted my baby to her. I highly recommend her.”
About: I’ve had pets since I was born. I love to take my dog on walks at the beach and play in the yard with him. I am attentive to any reactions they might have to their surroundings as well. I’ve been looking for a job during the week days and I figured why not try this out to maybe help some families live their life if they’re on vacation or super busy. I have a friendly dog who will keep any pets company. I have a big yard with sun or shade if any dogs love to be outside. I also have crates if dogs need to be crated during the night or day.
About: If you’re looking for someone experienced, reliable, and knowledgeable to keep your pet content, safe, and occupied, and to keep your mind at ease while you’re away, look no further! I will house sit for or check in on any type of animal! I have taken care of all kinds of pets including rats, reptiles, tarantulas, ferrets, cats, dogs, and more since a teen. I have experience with volunteering at cat shelters, administering medications, first aid, and rescues. I am first aid certified which also teaches how to perform CPR on dogs. This is my second year pet sitting on the Rover app. I will also make sure any pet messes and toys are tidied before you arrive home every time! ***If you need a sitter for a small animal please book as a cat and then specify in your message to me the species and specific care needs. I have weekend and evening availability, so I can watch your beloved pets while you go on a weekend getaway! I can also do stop ins before 8 am, mid day, and after 4 during the week for feedings and walks. I can do pick ups, drop offs, and overnights weekends, evenings, and holidays. I have a unfenced yard where I will walk your pups. I am also close to parks and the river where I can take them to play. I have both medium and large sized crates, and plenty of extra pet supplies. I will also brush and bathe your babies and administer medications as needed. I don’t mind if your dog doesn’t like other animals and will take special care when walking in the neighborhood. Your pets will be in good hands!
