“Tilly had a wonderful overnight with Bailey! (Kathy &Tim as well) We love the convenience of having a Rover right in our neighborhood. We appreciate the quick response we get from Kathy & Tim with answers to questions and updates on Tilly's care. Thank you so much!”

“We couldn’t have asked for a better situation than the one we had with Beth. She made our dog (Alee) feel right at home. Alee had freedom to move around, a comfortable home and lots of attention. It was a wonderful few days for her. I highly recommend Beth- a great dog sitter!”

About: Like many others, I am a dog lover and was raised taking care of family dogs. Unlike others, that passion led to training and classes, competing in dog sports, and now, competing in dog shows. I have experience with many breeds of all sizes, senior pet care, reactive dog care and training. I would love to help you with your pet care needs! I work from home, so my schedule is very flexible and I can accommodate most dogs’ needs. I currently have open availability for boarding, daycare, walks, and drop in visits. Dogs are treated like one of my own! I take your dog out for leashed potty breaks several times a day, according to their needs. While I am working, your dog can settle on the couch or one of the many dog beds, or relax and play with my dogs (a Golden Retriever and a Foxhound). If your dog likes the crate, I have an extra for them. When I run errands, your dog will be crated or gated in a separate room from my dogs for safety. I live on 4 acres next and next to a cemetery, so I can take your dog for relaxing walks in a peaceful environment.

“Maxine & Kyle were great - they sent plenty of pics of Kenzo enjoyiong his time. They took excellent care of him and we look forward to bookng with them again soon!”

“Caitlin and her family watched our two miniature poodles for 8 days. She consistently sent us pictures of them so we could see how they were doing. When we picked up the dogs, they were not excited to leave. Her children were adorable and really bonded with our dogs. I will definitely be using her again.”

“We had a lovely experience with Andrea! She was very easy to coordinate with and responded to communications promptly, and we returned to a happy and relaxed dog. Thank you again.”

“This was the second time Sir Sparklepuff stayed with Kim, and he seems to adore spending time with her. Kim returned him not only happy and well-cared for, it freshly bathed and brushed, too! We will be sure he stays with her again soon.”

“Dixie was lovely! Our dog Hudson had a great time following her around and going on walks on her spacious property. Dixie was very attentive -she even slept on the couch by Hudson’s crate to make sure he was ok.”


About: I have had a dog my entire life. Many in different shapes and sizes. My last fur baby was my baby before babies and I have experience with obedience training and good citizen training. I am missing the pitter patter of paws in my home and would love to spoil your sweetie! I am currently home full time. I have three children that are 5 and under. I would love to spoil your baby in my caring home. I have a large yard and two story house with a fenced in gated deck for fresh air. I am very active and love walks and hikes!
“As always, our boys Richard and Philip had an incredible time staying with Robert and Eileen! They got lots of exercise in the big fenced yard, despite the tundra-like conditions, and we got detailed updates every day with cute photos and videos. Richard even learned to fetch! Robert and Eileen are gems, and I would leave them a 10 star review if I had the option!”

“Mariema was fantastic! She took our brand new 2 year old rescue with little helpful instructions from us and kept her busy, having fun and getting all that energy depleted each day. We got daily pictures and insights into her behavior. Would highly recommend and will be asking Mariema to keep this whirlwind again for us!”

“Amazing with our pups. Respectful of our requests. Our one dog recently had surgery and Dianna and Matthew were great with him and his needs. You also get great photos. We will definitely be using their services again in the future.”

“Lauren did a great job caring for my dog Stella! She was able to accommodate a last minute boarding request and sent daily pictures/updates. Stella came home happy and well taken care of.”


“Angi took such wonderful care of our 4 month old puppy while we were away. She sent daily updates and was fantastic while dealing with a very energetic pup. We could not have asked for a better setup, and we will absolutely be using Angi in the future!”

“Thank you Ray! Pepper had a great time! It was nice to get photos and videos of you all out and about while we were away. Will definitely call you again when we need a safe fun place for Pepper and Oona when we travel again!”

About: I am a reliable and caring pet sitter with over 13 years of experience caring for animals, including cats since childhood. Now 19, I have grown up around and cared for cats of all personalities, from shy and independent to playful and affectionate. I understand feline behavior, body language, and routines, and I prioritize creating a calm, safe, and comfortable environment. I treat every cat as if they were my own and make sure they feel secure, cared for, and loved while you’re away.

“Richard cared for our 16 year old cat that has chronic health issues. Our cat takes several medications twice a day and eats a prescription diet. He did a great job, was very responsive, responsible and would contact me if he had a question. We felt like we left our cat and home in good hands. I will hire Richard again in the future when we need someone to look after our cat.”


“Bill and Emma were terrific caregivers over the course of 11 days. They provided very consistent care and attention for and to my older cat, along with many photos and daily notes 2x/day for his human. I would have them care for Benny again without hesitation.”


“Rachel has been great for watching our 2 cats! She is very responsive to our messages, gives our cats some playtime, and sends us cute photos of them! Would recommend her to a friend.”

About: I am a huge animal lover with professional experience as a dog walker/sitter. Right now my schedule is pretty flexible. Ideally, I would like to find a few dogs that would like to be walked throughout the week or checked on. I have a 10 + years experience dog sitting short/long term. I'm able to provide great references for the pets I've cared for in the past! I am energetic, fun, and easy to get along with. I like to make the most out of our time together! I like to be outdoors as much as possible. If your dog is comfortable, I would love to take your dog to events, the dog park, and short hikes. Your dog will love the experience I will provide! Dogs usually immediately like me and feel comfortable around me. Dogs of all ages and sizes welcome! I'm looking forward to meeting you and your fue babies! I am currently working part-time. I have plenty of time, as well as a flexible schedule, to attend to your pet with my undivided attention. I pride myself on treating clients pets the same as my own, with lots of love and affection! I am respectful of my clients homes, as well as their desired schedules.
About: Note: 98% of my business is private clients because Rover does not send me much business. My prices reflect my time with your loved pets and we hope that you would pay us more than your cleaning lady/man because your fur kids are of most important to you. Right? I am booked probably 1/2-3/4 of the month on my own but I would love to help you thru Rover. My prices reflect my service and need to charge an amount which Rover will take 20% of my fee. Why you should pick me as your preferred petsitter: I am responsible. Love Pets and your pet(s) are where they belong - in your/their home - unless I am hosting your pet(s). I administer oral and injectable medication to pets as you prescribe. Dogs, cats, fish and birds love me. I stay because it is good for your pets too and I don't want to drive to your home everytime I feed your pet. I save you time by not having to drive to the dogggy/pet hotel. If you need more info, please let me know - plenty of references. Every client hires me again. Note: If you lie about the number of pets and kind in your home, I think that honesty is the best policy if you want my help and I want you to be honest with Rover and since I will be in your home. We need mutual respect. Hiring me is not about saving money, it is about keeping your pet in a familiar and happy environment. My first interview is by phone before I come to your house. Please send me your phone number upon request of my services plus your cross streets and zip code. I send pics if your wifi is working. Please let me know how often you want pics emailed to you. Please note: Pet Day Care: 8 hour sessions but you get a discount for a 4 hours request. * (e.g. for pets who are infermed, are escape artists, pets with anxiety issues etc) or you just want them to have company. I sometimes send pics from my phone and not ROVER app so my photo rate is lower than expected. On Christmas week - I may be hosting at a second home. Housesitting is an evening service to for me: My evening rate starts with the evening meal sometime after 6 pm and ends with the serving of breakfast dependent upon my schedule. If you want need more services or hours let me know and the cost will increase*. Housitting means that I am coming to your home to petsit vs you boarding your pet at my home. It means that I go in and out of your home based upon my schedule. If you want a midday walk or specify times of service, there is an extra visit fee which will be added. Likewise, an early arrival before dinner/service after I serve breakfast should be booked as a stop in or midday visit or additional day. Ask, if this is not clear. Your home should be clean including bed sheets and a towel for me. Please make sure your stove and oven are free of anything that can cause a fire or melt with heat. My fee does not include cleaning or snowplowing/shoveling of snow. Please make appropriate arrangements before and during my stay for snow removal. I am available for morning and night meals along with sleeping over. I would go in and out of the house like a normal pet parent. But, if you want service outside the serving of the evening/morning meal/overnight stay, then please add a walk/visit request to the pricing agreed to on Rover. My visit time depends on the day requested. Periodic Potty Break/walk. care for pet in my lower part of my home. serving of Meals provided by pet owner. Visiting with the pet and talking with the Pet.
“Heather was super sweet, understanding and very responsive! She understood my circumstances for needing my kitty Poptart watched and had no complaints with how last minute my request was. When there was an interference with the pickup time, she was completely understanding and didn’t charge extra. I even told her about Poptart’s disliking of other cats, and she kept her in a room separate from her own and even offered to introduce my cat to hers to get her more accustomed to being around other cats in the future. Overall, she was a wonderful sitter and I’ll definitely consider her again in the future!”

“Tim and Kathy always take awesome care of my "kids" . They love hanging out with Bailey and his parents. We will miss them all when we make our move to West Virginia. Thank you so much!”

“I cannot overstate what a lifesaver Jennifer was on our vacation. We had an air BNB that allowed dogs, but not unattended and were visiting friends with a cat who turned out to be dog phobic. We booked Jennifer the day before we left and she was so welcoming and flexible with pick up and drop off times and with her extensive kennel hours. My dog loved her own special vacation; with puppy playtime and hiking in the woods. She came home relaxed and super tired! The true marker of her own good review, was how happy she was to go back the next day! Thanks, Jennifer :)”

“Samantha is wonderful. Booking was done last-minute, on a holiday, no less. Samantha was kind, responsible, on-time, and would have sent intormation about my dog every 20 minutes if I wanted it. Highly recommend.”

About: I have raised and cared for my families dogs as well as my own personal pets since I was a child. From puppy days to senior life, I have experienced it all and have enjoyed every moment of it. For me, having dogs around is a must! I currently work 4 days a week at a brewery in Rochester. I am available for walks and check-ins Tuesday/Wed all day, Thursday-Friday 8am-11am. Sunday's are open and negotiable as well! I enjoy spending time outside (park, trails, yard) with the active dogs, and talked to/petting the lazy/sleepy ones while they lounge inside. I live close to some wonderful parks, and enjoy throwing a ball around or just taking a stroll.
“Charlotte was amazing with my fluffy girl, Peach!! She was super communicative and took great pictures! Peach got along amazing with her pups and was an all-around great experience. Will definitely be booking with Charlotte again when I return to Geneva.”

“We can’t believe our luck that we found Ema and her beautiful kids and family to take care of our Coco. We felt that Coco was in perfect care and that is immeasurable assurance is everything. Thank you dear Ema we’re so glad we found you!”

“Kate is very kind and easy to communicate with. She took great care of my Bella and always asked important questions. I know Bella had so much fun — her daughter played with her, and I’m so happy that my pet had a wonderful time and was well cared for by Kate and her family.”

“Jeffery was the most fantastic host! Our puppy stayed there for a day of daycare and came back so happy and tired! Jeffery clearly loves dogs and animals so much and made our little guy so comfortable the whole day. We will definitely be returning next time we’re in the area :) thank you, Jeffery!!”

“Dixie was super sweet and is a lovely sitter! Our two big girls looked like they had a really good time! Dixie also give us some news during the day for us to know everything was doing great ? Would really recommend her!! ?”


“Christine was wonderful with my little poodle. My guy Marley loved her little boy and from the videos he was kind and had fun with Marley without being too rough for a little dog. I was nervous because marley had a heart murmur when he was younger and he gets overheated but he was fine with her. Thankyou Christine for taking care of my family member.”
“Kyle took excellent care of my elderly Maltese, Sammy. It was a relief that he was able to take care of Sammy on short notice and give my skittish dog a calm place to stay. He always responded quickly to messages and sent me a picture of Sammy each day. I would happily let him watch Sammy again if we come back to Ithaca.”

“Heather was fantastic! We came to town in our RV for weekend class reunion. Heather cheerfully came to the TV park to sit with our 12 pound Yorkipoo, Bear. She sent photos and loved on him. Heather was a great communicator too. We highly recommend Heather to watch your furry friends! Sarah and John”

“Dianna was AMAZING! Nothing but positive things to say about her, she took care of my baby and sent me many updates with the cutest photos and videos. I highly recommend!! Thank you Dianna so much!!”

About: I've cared for dogs of different sizes over the years and I love to cuddle, walk, and pamper pups. We have a fenced in back yard and I like to take long walks with dogs if they're up for it. We have a 4 year old boxer/hound mix who is sweet with people but not great with other dogs. We keep him away from guest dogs, there's lots of room in the house for each dog to have their own space and still get lots of love from me and the family. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. I take breaks through the day to care for puppies, whether that's a quick potty break, fun walk, or play time with balls and toys. When boarding, I make sure pups get any meds they need, plenty of time outside, and snuggles on the couch (if they're the snuggling type). I know some dogs need longer or shorter walks, and I make adjustments based on what they need.
About: As a pet parent of 23 years I understand how much joy our fur friends bring us. Unfortunately sometimes our day to day life prevents us from giving them all the love and attention they deserve. Please allow me to become part of your pals routine. You won’t regret it. I have taken joy in walking, snuggling, feeding, and caring for my pets over the years. I enjoy being outside and walking daily and I would love new company! With your permission I can take your dogs to some of my favorite walking spots in the area. Work with me and you will see for yourself my punctuality, enthusiasm and commitment to keeping your fur baby happy and healthy. Feel free to message me anytime during the service for your pet pics, updates, and any other information. Whenever you need me give me a call! I’m currently working from home via computer so I have very flexible availability. However I am a mom so if you request a overnight stay I would have to bring her with me. Don’t hesitate to reach out anytime. At home my furry friends are kept in our fenced in yard and on the leash on walks. I would keep the same commit to your dogs.

About: I have been caring for dogs since I was 13. I walk mine and my sisters dogs frequently. I have done overnights with dogs. I let dogs out during the day and feed them for meal times. I am a nursing student at Hartwick college and can easily work about my schedule to take care of pets. I am unavailable on Thursdays, but every other day works depending on my schedule. In my clients home I use any equipment that they recommend and use. I have taken dogs for rides in my car and roll the windows down for them to see out.
“This was my first time using Rover (and the first time having anyone outside of family care for my puppy), and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! I have a young Doberman with a lot of energy, and Arya was patient, calm, and firm in just the right way—which is exactly what she needs. He took her on a nice long walk, and I really appreciated the videos he sent along the way. They gave me peace of mind and made the whole process so much less stressful. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for someone reliable and confident with energetic dogs!”

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 11 years old. It started with my family dog, along with family members dogs. I would walk them and feed them. I then got my own dogs that I do all care for. I started fostering with a local rescue in 2022. I’ve cared for dogs with medical issues. Anywhere from Seizure disorders, parasites and other various medical issues. I treat every dog that I care for as if they’re my own. I currently work full time, M-F 730a-330p. I am able to check in, walk, feed, etc, dogs before work, during my lunch and after work. I have 2 dogs of my own. We live in a 3 bedroom house. Unfortunately, I don’t have a fenced in yard. I do take my dogs on multiple walks everyday along with utilizing a tie out (if they want to stay out longer), and would do the same with yours, so they get some outside time.

About: I always loved having pets growing up. I grew up in the country so we had a lot of space for animals to be able to run around and be outside. Dogs, cats, birds...practically every creature you can imagine. Currently I have a cat of my own, and a friend’s dog who I watch fairly regularly. It works out well because I’m a very active person who likes to get outside as much as possible—hiking when the weather permits and bringing him along with me. This is in part due to my ever-changing, flexible schedule. I have a few set shifts during the week, but for the most part I make my own hours and I have time to be available pretty much whenever I am needed!

Meisje clearly enjoyed her time and came home smelling wonderful and healthy and happy. Jeffery definitely enjoys his work with dogs. What more could you ask for! Thank you. We will be back.”


“Whether it is your first time using rover or 100th time using rover, if Bill and Emma are available look no further and book ASAP. It was our first time using Rover and we, and our 1 year old playful mutt could not have had a better experience. They were flexible, responsive and attentive. The only thing you’ll have to worry about it your pet not wanting to leave (kidding). Thank you Bill and Emma for a seamless experience, we hope our paths cross again!”
