“Kelly did such a great job with our puppy. Her communication was great, she sent pictures and videos. She spent a lot of time with our dog and it is obvious how much she cares. Highly recommended!”
“We were nervous leaving our dog for the first time and our kids didn’t want to leave her either. Jen and the family were very reassuring. Sent a couple pictures a day with updates and speedy responses. We were very pleased with the care and that she has dogs which our dog loves to play with other dogs so was a major plus in our books. We definitely would love to have Jen watch our dog, Sadie, again!”
“I can’t begin to tell you how wonderful it was to have Bev. She was watching my dog during this last snow event and not only did she reassure me because I couldn’t get back in time (plane cancelled) that she would gladly keep her as long as needed she went to the store and bought more of her dog food as I didn’t send enough. I couldn’t ask for anything more. It certainly made me feel great that my dogs care was one less thing I had to worry about. I wish I could give her more than 5 stars.”
“We traveled 5 days left lena with Sarah. Sarah made sure we were up to date and many beautiful pictures. She has a wonderful family that loves Lena . Lena is always happy to go there. When we bring her home she tired but most important she happy”
“Charlette is very kind and caring, she will take care of your fur baby as if it was her own. She communicates quickly and often, leaving you no doubt about the situation. I'm not sure how I could give her a higher recommendation, but if I could, I would!”
“At first I was skeptical about using Rover to find someone to care for my German Shepherd that I just adopted and because of moving reasons I needed a place for him to be until my place was ready. I came across Jin, and she was immediately available, and I couldn't be more lucky to have found such an amazing human been, she took care of my Tony so good, with constant pictures and follow ups about his activities. I will only use her services to care for my dog. She us the best. Thank you so much for taking care my big baby tony.??”
“Mindy was very sweet to our Luna! She took time to have a Meet & Greet beforehand, to make sure our pup was comfortable and that it was a good fit. She provided copious updates -- photos and videos -- and was very quick to respond when we reached out to see how things were going. Luna came home pleasantly tired *and* having made a few friends in Mindy's kitties! :) Thank you Mindy!!!”
“First time in this app and Im so thankful. Thank you so much for taking good care of Luna for 7 days. I will definitely trust you with her in the future. Luna send lots of love to all of you .”
“We were very pleased with Joan and Timothy. They sent a picture or video each day that our dog Daisy was with them. She was taken on many walks and they enjoyed time together like hanging out in the garage watching the outside. We would definitely use them again in the future.”
“Nichole took such good care of our dog, Juniper! She was so well cared for and enjoyed playing with Nichole's dog. Nichole sent lots of pictures and updates and even went as far as to clean her ears when she saw they were irritated. We could not recommend her more!”
“Jessie has been so wonderful. I am a first time dog mom leaving my boy with a stranger for the first time. He dealt with my daily messages and made me feel so much more comfortable to be able to just enjoy my vacation! I would recommend Jessie to anyone and everyone. I’m fact I already have :)”
“I can't say enough about how amazing Michelle was! This was our first time leaving our senior dog with anyone so I was a bit nervous, but Michelle put our minds at ease with her thoroughness in understanding our dog's needs, frequent photo updates, and genuine care. She even got my spicy chihuahua to warm up to her so I think that qualifies her as a miracle worker! Thank you so much Michelle!”
“I am so excited that I found someone who will luv and take care of my fur babies like I would. This was the first time I left my babies with a sitter. Katie assured me they would be ok and for me to go enjoy myself on my little getaway! I am happy that I did! I luv how Katie made communication during their stay. I could see that my fur babies were well taken care of and was enjoying their stay. The walks, playtime, and other activities. Thank you Katie! You Rock!!!!!”
“Megan kept me updated on how my dogs were doing and worked very well with my schedule! Was willing to be up early in the morning and dropped the dogs off at my place late with no problem. The dogs came back happy and exhausted showing they had a fun time. I'd definitely book with her again.”
“Crystal did amazing taking care of our two dogs over the holidays for an extended stay. This was our first time leaving our dogs for multiple days and Crystal sent us lots of photos and it put my mind at ease. You can tell she definitely is experienced! She handled everything really well. Our dogs are rescues and can be timid, in all the photos she sent they looked super comfortable and right at home. I recommend Crystal to anyone looking for someone they can trust to take care of their pups!”
“This was the second time that Jessica and her husband took care of Jackson. He had another great time with them. Jessica went above and beyond, dealing with a broken collar. Highly recommend!”

“Erin takes the time to get to know kitties and meets them where they are! I appreciate her charming both my playful kittens and my shy senior. Thanks for taking great care of my cats while I'm away from home.”
“Alicia was the best sitter ever! so lucky to have found her. She went above and beyond to spend time with our needy orange boy. Even the cats who hate strangers came out. Alicia is very knowledgeable and her extensive education and many years of experience arw apparent. She's so professional and trustworthy. Will book with her again!”
“Had a great experience with Bethany. She watched my cat Milo while I was away picking up my daughter from school. Even though Milo was shy (and a tad territorial), she took great care of him. Would highly recommend!”
“Christina was communicative and more than willing to work with our kitties! Pictures and videos were sent to show me how our cats were doing, and she was respectful of our (and their) boundaries. She was also flexible with key pickup and return (which was very appreciated with my schedule). I would absolutely recommend her for caring for your fur babies.”

About: Hi I'm April and I am ready to sit your pet. I have had pets all my life and my own dogs for more than 20 years. I have 4 pets -2 dogs and 2 cats - whom get along with each other and other dogs. My large yard is fenced in and is perfect for playing fetch. I care for my children's dogs when the come to town. Sometimes my house has 5 dogs with no issues at all. I work during the week but my weekends are usually spent playing with my pets. I can do pet sitting, boarding or just visiting. My children are all grown so my pets have become my children and I will treat your pet the same way.
“I can’t recommend Tiffany enough! She was able to help us out with a last-minute request, and was super easy to work with. She came for a meet and greet and was so sweet to our cat. Charlie (the cat) has been anxious to be left alone for long periods of time since her sister passed last year, so I really needed someone to spend time with her and give her the attention we normally would. Tiffany did exactly that and then some! She sent lots of updates and pictures, and I knew that Charlie was being doted on so I could fully relax while away. Tiffany is clearly an animal lover and it shows in her care! She followed all of our instructions to the letter AND left our apartment in tip top shape. I will definitely be working with her again!”
“My babies are typically not too comfortable with people they do not know. Tatyjana Communicated with me that the dogs went under the bed but did not give up. She said she was trying to get them to warm up to her and they did. We will definitely have her back again.”
About: I’ve always loved animals, including cats! I completed a two-year Small Animal Science program where I learned about feeding, handling, health, and basic care. I’m comfortable with litter boxes, playtime, brushing, and giving cats space when they need it. I know every cat has their own personality, so I’ll follow their routine and make sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away.
About: Hi my name is Samantha, I have a home I share with my toddler son and we have 1 pup. We have our 10yr old small spaniel mix, Daisy, that I’ve adopted from Texas. She gets along well with other dogs & loves to play. It was apparent that she never experienced her puppy days before our family took her in. I've had her for 8yrs now and she has become so comfortable and happy in her forever home with us and is very active. She loves to go out on walks and is an even better snuggler. I have had animals my entire life so I love to play, walk and go for runs with them. They have free-roam of the house and the fenced in back yard, and I'm ok with them on my furniture. My dog loves to walk when we can get out, but if not, she loves playing outside before I leave for work and as soon as I get home she runs the back yard. I work during the day M-F, however I work from home 2 days/week. I typically spend my nights home. I am in the military reserves so 1 weekend a month I am away from my home and try not to accept sitting during those long days. I would like more company for my dog as we recently lost her older fur-sister, this has been a transition for us all losing our sweet girl. I have plenty of toys and treats, and I ensure dogs always have free roam of our space. I would just ask that I'm made aware of any restrictions, allergies, behavior issues, etc. ahead of time. I will make sure your dog has the best service and attention in my home and will keep you up to date with their activities by texting pictures and video's through out their stay if you ever wanted! I work M-F, mix-matched teleworking days (flexible). I get up in the morning to let my dog play in the back yard, then she eats before I leave for work. We like to play in the back yard every 1-3hrs and we take breaks frequently so there would be some indoor and outdoor exposure for daily play (weather pending). My yard is fully enclosed so I like to bring my dog out with me to play, sniff, lounge and anything else. I have an outside pool that is for dogs so they can get water, play in it or lay down to cool off whenever they’d like. I have a fenced yard and a friendly fur baby to play with. I also have 2 crates available as needed if it’s a preference of yours. In your home, I can follow any instructions left to make sure your fur-baby feels as comfortable as possible at home in their space without you there.

“We were just passing through on a road trip and landed tickets to see the Bills play so this was a last minute book. Sierra was wonderful with our Bella who has separation anxiety. She took it slow with Bella and soon Sierra had her eating (she has NEVER eaten a meal when we are not there with her), going for walks, and napping. I can tell Sierra was great with Bella because she was happy when we picked her up and went right to sleep when we got home.”

“The Best ! We left Fergie with Crystal 2 different days so we could go sight seeing and couldn't be happier with her level of care. The first day Fergie whined a little when we left; the 2nd day she didn't even notice that we left. She loved being with Crystal & we received lots of pictures of their walks & activites. Don't hesitate to allow Crystal to watch your pup. We'll contact her again the next time we're in the Buffalo area. Thanks Crystal !”
“Natalie was wonderful! We brought our Lucy there for thanksgiving and she was extremely professional with the whole process and so sweet to our girl! She even made her a special thanksgiving dinner!”

“Mary and her family are absolutely AMAZING with our puppy, Scout! She communicates and sends me pictures throughout the day and after only one day of daycare, the next time he saw her he was SO excited!! Her sweet dog, Maggie, has taken Scout under her wing and is so good with him. I cannot say enough good things! I feel like we hit the lottery by finding Mary to care for our sweet boy when we are at work. He leaves ever day happy and exhausted!”

“We now call Dena, Aunt Dena, because for the short 8 weeks we were in Buffalo for work she and her family became Goose’s family. I can not say enough kind things about her and her family, all around great people and caretakers. I am positive that Goose misses his friends in Buffalo, I know I do, and hope to one day be back to visit. I am so thankful for all the time, commitment, and love she put into Goose.”
“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!”

“I’m anxious to leave my dogs with others, but I could tell upon meeting Monica that they would be ok. She is a very sweet lady who obviously loves dogs and made ours feel at home in her comfortable home and nice fenced-in yard. In every way Monica was awesome! Anyone should feel comfortable leaving their dogs in her care.”
“Mindy provided day care for my aunt's dog, Sassy, while we visited Niagara Falls from Arkansas. Sassy had never been under someone else's care and my aunt was nervous about leaving her with a "stranger". But Mindy was wonderful and allowed us to come for a 'meet and greet' when we arrived in town the day before our booking. My aunt was still nervous about leaving her the next day because Sassy, being a Maltipoo, has separation anxiety. But Mindy knew taking Sassy for a walk right after we left would be a good distraction. She was also wonderful about sending pictures and videos especially that first day and that made us feel better about leaving her. By the second day Sassy was comfortable going straight to Mindy when we arrived. Also, she was very flexible regarding drop off and pick up times.”

About: I’ve always been a huge animal lover, and my family has four dogs of our own! I also completed a two-year Small Animal Science program and currently foster dogs. Through fostering, I’ve helped 7 dogs find their forever homes. I’m comfortable with different personalities, routines, energy levels, and needs, and I’ll always treat your pet like part of the family. Pet care fits really well into my routine because I work a consistent school schedule as a teacher and have plenty of time after work, in the evenings, and on weekends. I love spending that free time going for walks, stopping in for visits, feeding, playing, and giving pets some extra attention. Since I’m used to having four dogs in my family, caring for animals already feels like a natural part of my day. I always make safety, comfort, and trust a priority. I follow each owner’s instructions closely and try to keep pets on their normal routine so they feel as comfortable as possible. I’m respectful of your home, careful with doors, gates, leashes, and feeding instructions, and I’ll always give your pet the attention, patience, and care I’d want for my own dogs.
About: Growing up my family had 3 pups of our own and we also fostered, so i started learning how to work with and train dogs very early on. In 2022 I started dog sitting for people in my neighbourhood. In 2024 I worked at a daycare where I started doing training sessions for some of our clients. By 2025 I got certified in pet CPR and first aid, and started working at a different daycare. I love learning about and working with dogs, and i can’t wait to meet yours! I use a training/care style that makes trust and teamwork between me and your dog, i understand that when setting new expectations or training a new skill it is up to me to help the dog understand, not get frustrated or scare them into submission. I believe patience and consistency are keys to success! I am pretty much fully available weekends, mondays, and tuesdays! Any other day of the week i am available after 6pm when i get out of work. I do not pet sit in my own home because i have 2 disabled cats, however I am willing to stay in your home to pet sit, or just stop by throughout the day/night if that is what you prefer! I can work with any of your dogs special needs and administer medications. Your dogs safety and comfort are my top priority, tell me what you need and I will make it happen!
“Tatyjana was phenomenal! She took great care of our 8 month old corgi, Poke, during his walk and was careful to not let our 3 year old indoor cat outside during the process! She is very professional, and made sure to keep us updated from the start of the walk to it’s finish. We will definitely be reaching out to her again in the future.”

The days I work vary week to week but my schedule is flexible. Feel free to reach out on a day to day basis as my schedule changes frequently. I keep the dogs on a leash at all times unless instructed otherwise by owners. I am very alert and observant of other dogs on the sidewalk.
About: Hi! I’m a passionate animal lover with a lifetime of experience caring for all kinds of pets. I currently have two big, lovable dogs—a German Shepherd and a Cane Corso—as well as two cats, so I know how to handle different personalities, energy levels, and needs. Whether your pup is playful, shy, or somewhere in between, they’ll get personalized attention and care like one of my own. Hi there! My name is Isabella , and I’m a professional hairstylist working Wednesday through Saturday. On my days off, I’m looking to spend more time doing something else I love—caring for animals. As someone who has had pets my entire life and currently owns two dogs (a German Shepherd and a Cane Corso) and two cats, I understand how important it is to have someone reliable and compassionate looking after your furry family members. I’d love the opportunity to help out with dog walking or pet care when you need an extra hand. Caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. At home, I provide a structured, loving, and safe environment for my pets, which includes two large-breed dogs—a German Shepherd and a Cane Corso—and two cats. I focus on consistent routines, daily exercise, mental stimulation, and plenty of affection. My pets are well-socialized, receive proper nutrition, and are always kept clean, comfortable, and happy. Whether it’s going on long walks, engaging in playtime, or simply giving them the attention they need, I treat each animal with the respect and care they deserve. My experience with a variety of temperaments and needs allows me to confidently and responsibly care for others’ pets with the same level of dedication.
About: Although I've never personally owned a dog, I have experience with pet sitting and walking dogs that belong to my freinds and family members. I am confident that my love for animals and my ability to follow instructions will ensure the safety and happiness of your dog! I work full-time Monday-Friday, however my work schedule is hybrid so it allows me to be flexible to cater to your needs! I am also free all day most Saturdays and Sundays. When I am in a client's home I am always respectful and professional. I understand the importance of following instructions and I promise to take care of your furbaby like they are my own!
“Kevin did a fantastic job taking care of Tito while I was at work. im glad to have found a caring reliable person to walk my boy on workdays so I dont have to worry about how hes doing at home as much 💜”
About: Grief has allowed me bond with dogs. They are so loving and caring. My dogs get me through the day. They recognize when I’m having a rough day. Wake up, get outside. I always make sure my large dogs rest before and after eating. Do not want their stomachs to flip. Walk my dogs every day no matter the weather. The exercise and fresh air is great for all of us. I’m a very trust worthy honest person that loves my dogs more than anything. I’ve realized they need me as much as I need them!

“Kelly did such a great job with our puppy. Her communication was great, she sent pictures and videos. She spent a lot of time with our dog and it is obvious how much she cares. Highly recommended!”
“We were nervous leaving our dog for the first time and our kids didn’t want to leave her either. Jen and the family were very reassuring. Sent a couple pictures a day with updates and speedy responses. We were very pleased with the care and that she has dogs which our dog loves to play with other dogs so was a major plus in our books. We definitely would love to have Jen watch our dog, Sadie, again!”
“Charlette is very kind and caring, she will take care of your fur baby as if it was her own. She communicates quickly and often, leaving you no doubt about the situation. I'm not sure how I could give her a higher recommendation, but if I could, I would!”
“At first I was skeptical about using Rover to find someone to care for my German Shepherd that I just adopted and because of moving reasons I needed a place for him to be until my place was ready. I came across Jin, and she was immediately available, and I couldn't be more lucky to have found such an amazing human been, she took care of my Tony so good, with constant pictures and follow ups about his activities. I will only use her services to care for my dog. She us the best. Thank you so much for taking care my big baby tony.??”
“Mindy was very sweet to our Luna! She took time to have a Meet & Greet beforehand, to make sure our pup was comfortable and that it was a good fit. She provided copious updates -- photos and videos -- and was very quick to respond when we reached out to see how things were going. Luna came home pleasantly tired *and* having made a few friends in Mindy's kitties! :) Thank you Mindy!!!”
“First time in this app and Im so thankful. Thank you so much for taking good care of Luna for 7 days. I will definitely trust you with her in the future. Luna send lots of love to all of you .”
“We were very pleased with Joan and Timothy. They sent a picture or video each day that our dog Daisy was with them. She was taken on many walks and they enjoyed time together like hanging out in the garage watching the outside. We would definitely use them again in the future.”
“Nichole took such good care of our dog, Juniper! She was so well cared for and enjoyed playing with Nichole's dog. Nichole sent lots of pictures and updates and even went as far as to clean her ears when she saw they were irritated. We could not recommend her more!”
“Jessie has been so wonderful. I am a first time dog mom leaving my boy with a stranger for the first time. He dealt with my daily messages and made me feel so much more comfortable to be able to just enjoy my vacation! I would recommend Jessie to anyone and everyone. I’m fact I already have :)”
“I can't say enough about how amazing Michelle was! This was our first time leaving our senior dog with anyone so I was a bit nervous, but Michelle put our minds at ease with her thoroughness in understanding our dog's needs, frequent photo updates, and genuine care. She even got my spicy chihuahua to warm up to her so I think that qualifies her as a miracle worker! Thank you so much Michelle!”
“Megan kept me updated on how my dogs were doing and worked very well with my schedule! Was willing to be up early in the morning and dropped the dogs off at my place late with no problem. The dogs came back happy and exhausted showing they had a fun time. I'd definitely book with her again.”
“Crystal did amazing taking care of our two dogs over the holidays for an extended stay. This was our first time leaving our dogs for multiple days and Crystal sent us lots of photos and it put my mind at ease. You can tell she definitely is experienced! She handled everything really well. Our dogs are rescues and can be timid, in all the photos she sent they looked super comfortable and right at home. I recommend Crystal to anyone looking for someone they can trust to take care of their pups!”
“This was the second time that Jessica and her husband took care of Jackson. He had another great time with them. Jessica went above and beyond, dealing with a broken collar. Highly recommend!”
“Mere words cannot describe how wonderful our experience with Denae and Mark was. They cared for Ringo as if he was their own. This was the longest I have ever left Ringo and I felt so relaxed knowing that I was leaving Ringo with Denae and Mark. The pictures that they sent me said it all. My little guy looked relaxed, comfortable and looked like he was having fun. The star rating only goes up to 5 but they deserve 500!”
“Anthony and Nate did a wonderful job with our Holly. I got photo/text updates on how she was doing. We would definitely book again. If you are thinking about booking with Anthony, you definitely should.”
“Raisa took wonderful care of our dog, Bonita! We could tell Bonita had a fun and comfortable stay, and she almost did not want to leave. Raisa went above and beyond by giving Bonita extra home-cooked dog food and comforting her during loud noises and thunderstorms. Bonita also loved spending time with her daughter and husband too. We are so thankful for the love and care Raisa and her family gave Bonita. Highly recommend and would definitely book again!”
“As always Alena went above and beyond in her care for my fur baby Champ. My baby had an accident just a few days before I was set to travel for a wedding, Alena was willing and able to care for champ and administer his medications and watch over him. She kept me up to date with photos and health updates and made it so I didn’t have to worry or stress about him. I knew with her he’d be in good hands, and my pup was so excited to see her again. Thank you Alena for taking care of my fur baby!”
“Dana kept me updated daily with pictures and what they did for the day. Bella really enjoyed herself. She usually doesn't eat when we are away but she felt comfortable in their home. I am so grateful to have found them! I will definitely be using them for future trip knowing that my baby will be taken care of and loved like it was me. Thank you guys for everything!!”
