Personalized care for your dog or cat - Brant
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Brant
“Joan and Tim have taken excellent care of our Boxweiler, Mamas, several times. They have excellent communication and send cute pics! We never have any concerns or worries when she is with them. We can't say enough good things!”
“Our young and rambunctious poodle, Twinkie, had an amazing week at Erika’s!! We’ve used rover before but this is the first time we felt the experience went above and beyond, and we felt confident the whole time not only that Twinkie was safe but that she was possibly having the best week of her life lol! Erika was extremely professional and responsive and sent us many pictures throughout the stay. Twinkie had an amazing time playing nonstop with Erika’s dog Huxley, and it’s very clear Erika took excellent care of Twinkie throughout. This will absolutely be our go to rover , and I strongly recommend Erika to anyone reading this!”
“I can't say enough about Rory D. Her home was clean, neat, and very organized. She had a separate "bedroom" where Gigi would spend the night and relax when other pets were in the house. During her stay Rory gave Gigi the opportunity to meet and forge a friendship with another cat. I was so pleased! Rory followed all care requests. Rory sent pictures and videos of Gigi throughout her stay. Gigi appeared very content and happy. Gigi was well cared for and healthy when I picked her up at the end of her stay. Without any reservation I recommend Rory for pet sitting. She did an excellent job. I will definitely rebook with Rory D. the next time I need pet sitting services.”
“My Golden, Richard, had a lovely time with Karen and her husband! I was very comfortable leaving him with her. I loved all the pictures and videos along with the comforting text messages. They loved on my puppers so much his Golden hair will surely be around forever! I highly recommend the services Karen has to offer! 5 star all the way!”
“Jackie made it possible to leave on a 2 week vacation. All 3 of our dogs were well taken care of. Jackie did everything we asked. We will definitely ask Jackie to take care of our family again. Thank you”
“Thank you Jenn & Brian for taking such great care of Rooney, just like last time. Thanks for all the pics and videos while we were away! Clearly he had a blast playing with your pups, and he also came home nice and clean!! 😀 You guys are the best!”
“Our dog, Millie, seemed like she had a great time with Megan and her kids! Megan was friendly and very communicative the whole time. We received lots of picture, video, and text updates. We would definitely use her again!”
About: I have been taking care of animals for as long as I can remember and have been pet-sitting since age 10 for family, friends, and neighbors. I have almost always lived with at least one cat or dog (or both!) throughout my life. I also have experience caring for rabbits, ferrets, gerbils, fish, parakeets, bearded dragons, and cockatiels. I currently live with two indoor tortoiseshell cats who are comfortable with dogs, and one of my cats is leash-trained. I have raised and trained at least 11 dogs from puppies to adulthood (3 as my own and the others for my parents). Most of my cats I adopted as teenagers, but I have raised a few kittens from a young age. I have done extensive dog training with the 3 dogs I raised as my own in the past, and I am familiar with both dog and cat training techniques. I live in a cabin the woods in Boston, NY, on a power line gravel road. Although I do not have a fenced in back yard, your dog will enjoy going on leashed walks down the power line road multiple times per day! I earn a living through a mix of substitute teaching (summer starts June 25th!), remote research and writing gigs, tutoring, child care, and pet care. I have a flexible schedule and incorporate pet care into the mix as much as possible because I love animals. If I am boarding a dog at my home, I will not be house sitting at that time (and vice versa). While boarding or house sitting, I will consider dog walking and drop-ins depending on the needs of the client and driving distance. If you board your dog at my home, my cats and I wake up early (about 6am) and I like to go outside for a walk down the power line road right away, and then eat breakfast. Your dog will be able to spend time with me all day (on a leash when we are outside), and if I need to leave my house, they will be in their crate for no more than 4 hours (2 is my strong preference). We will go for at least one more walk before dinner, too. I will be sure to give them plenty of play time and exercise throughout the day (depending on their level of activity and how hot it is outside). No matter what, they will get a lot of love and attention! I live in a cabin in the woods in the Town of Boston, NY, so although I do not have a fenced-in yard, there is very little traffic or people around. I will be able to go on long leashed walks with your dog down the power line for exercise, and there are a few friendly neighbor dogs that would love to say hello if your dog is up for that. I do live with two cats: one of them will hide a lot while your dog is here, but the other is very dog-friendly and will want to interact with your dog. I will monitor and separate them as needed (I have a spare room). I have always crate-trained my dogs and so long as your dog is comfortable in their crate, I will use it as a safe place for them to be while they are staying with me.
“Denae and Mark were absolute angels! They are such nice people! I felt that my crazy, young pittie was in great hands! Zero felt right at home during the first meet and greet and that made leaving her there for a long weekend less anxiety-inducing for both me and her as she is a bit of an anxious dog. They made her feel so comfortable! I will definitely be booking with them again and would recommend them for anyone! Lots of pictures and great communication! Thank you Mark and Denae!”
“Rylee is wonderful. She took great care of Kiko and sent me updates very often. She was also very receptive to my instructions and advice for taking care of him. Kiko got to play with her other dogs, enjoy the big fenced in yard, go for rides in the car and enjoy some pup cups. Rylee really treated Kiko as one of her own. I will absolutely seek her out again should I need someone to care for Kiko in the future.”
“Chelsea and Derek were wonderful! They communicated well and provided pictures showcasing how well our pup was settling in. They managed multiple dogs without issue. We’ll certainly be back in the future.”
“Melissa is fantastic, and I won’t be taking my pal anywhere else from now on. She was accommodating to my busy travel schedule and sent me update pics while I was gone! Also, he came home tired so I know he enjoyed his stay. I wish I could leave more than 5 stars!”
“Logan is very chill which is exactly the type of person you want to leave your dogs with. One of my dogs does not like people he doesn't know, especially if they are men, but he acted like he and Logan were old friends when we dropped him off for his first overnight stay. Both dogs have been sleeping hard since we picked them up which means they got plenty of play time in. We will definitely be using Logan in the future and highly recommend him.”
“Jin was great. Zeke can be nervous when in a new situation and Jin handled him flawlessly. The updates each day were amazing and I am so thankful that Zeke had such a kind and considerate sitter. Thank you so much!!!”
“Coco had a wonderful time and is still sleeping off all the playtime she had. I received a wonderful update and picture while I was gone to help ease my mind. I would absolutely recommend and will be using again. Thank you so much!!”
“Kiara & Yves, did such an amazing job with my little kitty. She was so well cared for and the sitter was super responsive sending many nice updates and photos of Lottie. I would recommend their services to anyone who was looking for a sitter!”
“Valerie was amazing. She Made me feel so comfortable with leaving my service pup for first time 🙏🏻💕 her place is more than enough for a large pooch. So grateful! Will definitely return”
“Monica is the best. The dogs love her and we will trust her with our puppers for any time we need a pet sitter. She was extremely communicative- texts, videos, pictures- and we couldn't have asked for better.”

“Barb exceeded every expectation. She was polite, professional, and communicative. I had no concerns that our pet was well taken care of in our absence. I recommend her without hesitation.”
“My cats loved having Amanda stay at our house. I didnt have to worry and got to enjoy my vacation knowing Amanda was taking great care of my cats and house. The photos she sent me each day of them put a smile on my face. I got home and the cats acted like they had no idea I was gone because they were so happy. Amanda did a great job!”
About: What sets me apart is my combination of professional experience, hands-on training knowledge, and truly individualized care. I previously worked as a veterinary technician, so I’m very comfortable handling dogs with a wide range of needs, including safely administering medications and recognizing subtle changes in behavior or health. Beyond that, I have personal experience training dogs, including puppies, so I can reinforce good habits, basic commands, and positive behaviors while they’re in my care. I’m also attentive to senior dogs who may need a slower pace, extra patience, or specialized support. Most importantly, I take the time to really get to know each dog—their personality, quirks, energy level, and what makes them feel safe and happy. Whether your dog thrives on physical activity, needs mental stimulation, or just wants extra love and reassurance, I adjust my care to fit them. I live in a home with a large yard and use long leads to give dogs the freedom to safely sniff, explore, and enjoy their environment at their own pace. My goal is always to create a calm, enriching, and loving experience so your dog feels completely at home. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work on my own schedule, which gives me the flexibility to be fully present and attentive to each dog in my care. I’m able to plan my day around their needs—whether that means regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, feeding schedules, or just spending quality time with them. Because of this flexibility, I’m not rushing in and out or trying to squeeze care into a busy schedule. I can provide consistent attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day, making sure each dog feels comfortable, engaged, and well cared for. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, my top priority is always their safety and comfort. I treat every animal as if they were my own, with the utmost love, patience, and responsibility. In my home, I provide a calm, secure environment where dogs can relax and feel at ease. I maintain a consistent routine for feeding, potty breaks, exercise, and rest, and I make sure each dog gets the right balance of activity, mental stimulation, and affection based on their individual needs. My yard allows for safe outdoor time, and I’m always attentive and supervising. In a client’s home, I respect your pet’s established routine to help them feel as comfortable as possible in their familiar space. I follow all care instructions closely, keep their environment clean and safe, and make sure they receive plenty of attention and companionship while you’re away. No matter the setting, I focus on building trust, paying attention to each pet’s unique personality, and making sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for at all times.
About: I grew up always having a pet to call my own. I have recently adopted a 2 year old pitbull name Gizmo! We are always out for a nice stroll on the beach, sitting on a restaurant patio or cuddling on the couch watching a scary movie. My love for animals started at a young age. I grew up with all different kinds of animals such as dogs, cats, rabbits and even a hedgehog. I am able to easily adapt to all types of dogs and routines. I am a responsible and dependable caretaker with always room in my heart for another animal! I am available after 3:00pm everyday of the week except for Mondays! I have a full time job during the week but will always make time to care for your pet in the evenings. I have grown up around cats and dogs my entire life so I am open to all breeds and personalities! I will adjust my energy and personality based on your pet's needs.
“Nancy genuinely loves cats and made mine a part of her family. I have one that’s a bit grouchy and she tried multiple ways to make sure he felt as comfortable and happy as possible. That is going above and beyond which means the world to me!!”
“I could not have asked for a better first time experience using Rover! Jenny was amazing and came over before we left for vacation to meet our cats and get a rundown of their routine. She was thorough in her communication and it really made me feel so much better knowing that our cats were in good hands while we were away. I highly recommend Jenny for any of your pet sitting needs!”
“Jes is amazing! She communicates daily while we’re away and I always feel completely comfortable with her taking care of my kitties- one of my cats receives daily medication and I can always be assured that he is receiving his meds and their needs are taken care of while we’re away- We are repeat customers and I will always book with Jes any time we need a sitter and know I can be totally at ease leaving them!”
About: With over 17 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats, I bring a well-rounded background in canine behavior, training, grooming, daycare, boarding, and veterinary support. I am canine behavior and training certified and have worked closely with veterinary teams, giving me a strong understanding of pet health, body language, and safe handling. I use compassionate, positive-reinforcement–based methods and tailor my care to each pet’s individual needs. I have extensive experience working with all breeds, ages, and energy levels, including dogs who experience anxiety, fear, or stress. My goal is always to create a calm, safe, and supportive environment where pets feel comfortable and confident. Whether your pet needs patient care, structured support, or just a loving and knowledgeable professional while you’re away, you can trust they’ll be treated with respect, understanding, and genuine care. 🐾 I currently own a local grooming salon and operate a dog training service. I have a flexible schedule to meet week day needs of drop visits, walks, enrichment and dog training. I provide a calm and friendly presence for both pets and owners. Bringing my experience and knowledge I help to create a full and balanced experience for the pets. With my 17 years experience in the pet industry working and I try to make every visit and every pet happy and healthy.
“Logan was very prompt in arranging our meet & greet after I reached out on rather short notice. I appreciated his flexibility also when I ended up coming back from my trip a day early. He shared lots of pictures and everything was in order when I got home. I'd be glad to work with Logan again.”
About: I’ve taken care of animals my whole life. I was a barn manager and had 12 horses and 21 acres along with many other farm animals. I have experience taking care of all animals, giving meds, feeding, walking and just over all comfort while a pet parent is gone. I work nights so when you are gone during the day and 8 hours is too long for your pup to be alone and just need to stretch their legs I can get them out for some play time or just some potty breaks I have lots of experience with many demeanors of animals. I have a very reactive dog and a very gentle loving dog myself. I can do lots of positive reinforcement with a reactive dog on a walk.
About: I’m a caring, reliable pet caretaker with hands-on experience in dog walking, drop-in visits, and a background as a former dog park and boarding employee, where I learned how to safely handle dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. Animals have always been a huge part of my life—my own dog, Coco, is truly my best friend, and she spends plenty of time playing and walking with her “cousins,” Copper and Wesson. As a new mom and stay-at-home mom, I’m looking to earn some side income doing something I genuinely love: caring for pets as if they were my own. I’m very friendly, patient, and attentive, and I take pride in creating a safe, loving, and fun environment so both pets and their owners feel comfortable and confident. 🐾💛 I’m currently a stay-at-home mom with a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pets. I have experience caring for dogs of different personalities and energy levels, and I always strive to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I treat every animal like family by providing patience, attention, playtime, exercise, and lots of love. I understand how important routines are, and I’ll always follow your pet’s specific needs and instructions to help them feel secure and happy in their home environment.
About: I have worked in a shelter dedicated all to cats for a couple of years. During that time I had experience with oral medications, disease management and feline care in general. I also have a lovely cat of my own who is now 16 years old. I am capable of caring for cats of all needs and ages.
“Mackenzie did a brilliant job taking care of our two cats while we were away. Shared detailed reports of what our cats were up to and how they were during our trip. All around excellent pet sitter!”

“Nancy was amazing! Our dog enjoyed her time playing and hanging out. Despite my being a class A jerk and arriving far past our agreed upon time for pickup after getting caught in a storm, they were incredibly patient and understanding. We were very happy with our interaction and overall experience and would absolutely come back (if they'd take us! ?).”
About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs, since I was a kid. I understand they are your children. I am comfortable giving oral meds, comfortable learning other routes of medication administration if needed. Currently will only board cats from the same home or young puppies (message for more details) at a time due to other animals in the house. Your fur baby will have their very Owen room with a gate door that is about 6ft tall to keep them safe and comfortable when I am not watching them or letting them out for play time. I will follow your set schedule for feedings and play time. If I am boarding an animal they are my soul focus till pick up time. I offer daily or every other day pictures/video updates of your pet, my phone is always on so you can always reach me about any concerns. I have one cat and two dogs in the house. They will remain separated from your animal at all times for safety and comfort of your beloved pet. All animals in the house are fully vaccinated including kennel cough. I will not accept boarding of unvaccinated cats & dogs for safety.

“Toktam was a loving, sensitive angel when it came to the way she took care of our little Puerto Rican rescue pup Maisie. Maisie is quite wary of new people, but to my delight and surprise, the second day we dropped her off Maisie smiled a doggie smile usually reserved for only three family members (me, my daughter and my husband) and happily rushed to Toktam's front yard gate to see her! Wow! That was a first. I have had really good experiences with Rover but this one was the absolute best because even though I am a worry wart and very protective of our sensitive, formerly traumatized little street dog Maisie, once I met Toktam, I was immediately comfortable, confident and relieved that she would be in the best of hands for her four days of daycare. Thank you Toktam!”
“This was our first experience leaving our 9 mo. old shihtzu pup for daycare. Mom was nervous - puppy had the best day ever! Katie took great care of our boy and he definitely loved every minute, living his best life! Thank you Katie!”
About: Ever since I was born my family always had lots of pets! I’ve taken care of all different breeds of dogs and cats. I care for all of my family’s pets when they’re away. I am a very easy going person who just loves animals and am a good care taker! I’m currently going to school for nursing and I am working part time so I’ll have plenty of time to care for your pets! I love spending time with animals so this is a great fit for me I currently have 2 cats, Knox and Mako. Knox is as sweet as can be and mako is just a kitten still but she’s a cuddle bug.
About: My whole life I was never able to have pets up until two years ago which is when I got my first girl, Jojo. She changed my life completely and so I had to get her a sister. My love for them is unmatched and even though I don’t have training what I do have is unconditional love and plenty of free time. I recently resigned from my job so I do not have a work schedule to work around so I am able to give my pets as well as yours all the attention and care that they need. I do have a fenced yard so if they need to go outside for potty or play there is no risk of them running off. I also two dogs at home as previously mentioned but I do have a dog gate inside if your pet needs some alone time. I separate my dogs during meal times and sometimes just to give individual attention. Both my dogs are girls and they are sweet and very playful.
About: I used to dog walk a couple dogs. Then I moved onto horses. So I know I can handle the hardest canines. They’re fun to have around. I’m working but also just thinking about doing this instead. Work gets boring and this wouldn’t. I love animals and they tend to love me back. I have a giant yard. They can’t be off leash but we can have fun running in the grass. I have animals that will stay upstairs when the dog or cat is here.
“We were very pleased with our experience with Chelsea and Derrick. Both are very warm individuals and did a great job welcoming and caring for our 1 year old puppy for the day. Their home is on a busy road but which gave some concern but that went away after meeting them and seeing their set up for safety and supervision. Thanks to both for giving Jasper a great and safe experience.”
“Jenn and Brian were outstanding. I gave them a long list of details about my puppy and they were able to accommodate everything. I was given a bunch of pictures throughout the day of him having a great time. Burned all his energy and had a bunch of fun. Didn’t want to leave as we were pulling away! Would highly recommend.”
“Kiara and Yves did an amazing job watching Teddy. Once I dropped him off, he felt right at home. Kiara kept on contact with me throughout the booking to update me on Teddys status and sent several pics. Will definitely book with Kiara and Yves again if we’re in the area.”
About: I’ve taken care of all sorts of dogs since I was a young child. Neighbors, family and friends have all asked me to pet sit! I now have a 2 year old rescue name Genny! She is very sweet, a big girl at 95lbs but extremely submissive in all situations! She would love a play mate and extra walks! Work from home M-F. On my lunch we always take a walk usually about 2 miles and Genny get plenty of potty breaks and outdoors time! I can follow any type of specific feeding plan and can ensure walks and outdoor time are a focus! I love dogs and would want to make sure your pet was taken care of they way I would want Genny to be!
About: I’ve taken care of many different dogs over the years and have worked at PetSmart as a pets hotel associate. I have two dogs (10 and 3 years old). I’ve also owned four cats and babysat family and friends pets before! I am home all day so I am fully available to provide care to pets. I live in an apartment with two dogs and live in walking distance to a park where my dogs love to walk. I have two friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your pet if desired. I am home all day and take my dogs for at least three walks a day and we usually visit a park daily.
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.
“Priya and her family were so good to Koda. He loved spending time with them! She gave us updates throughout the day- great communication overall. I’d definitely have her watch Koda again. He was so happy with her. :)”
About: It's Summertime!!! Bring your Pupp-a-ccinos and PuppCorn for a sleeprover to talk about. We just got a new doggie pool for the heat, and have a pop up agility course to play in. Never will a dog be off leash, will always be supervised on a 25ft long lead to have ample room to play and be safe. Parks nearby is Knox farm, memorial Park, BurchField and more. My car/dog mobile is set up with dog seatbelts so we can safely drive to our next fun destination( if approved by owner). I'm a Licensed Veterinary Technician and have been working in the animal industry for over 15 years. I am able to give quality attention and care all day. License is available upon request. Proof of vaccines and flea/tick prevention required PRIOR to drop off. I try to take only one dog but there may be an overlap of a boarding client and daycare client. Are you looking for someone who can stay with your fur baby and not be kenneled? I'm your woman. Prices may vary dependent on the needs of the client and how extensive it may be. I try to give an enriching environment for all pets that I'm caring for, but if they are more mellow, then I'm very good at snuggling. I enjoy outdoor activities and love to bring any dog who wants to explore nature with me. I can take your dog out on multiple leashed walks a day. We can go to a nearby park or sunbathe on my porch. I treat all pets like they are my own family member.
“Jeff watched our German shepherd while we were away on vacation and he was absolutely amazing. He provided daily activities updates and communicated with us regularly. We felt very relaxed that our GSD was with Jeff and he also had a really amazing time with Jeff. Highly recommend Jeffs services. Couldn't be more happier. Thankyou jeff!”

Because of this flexibility, I’m not rushing in and out or trying to squeeze care into a busy schedule. I can provide consistent attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day, making sure each dog feels comfortable, engaged, and well cared for. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, my top priority is always their safety and comfort. I treat every animal as if they were my own, with the utmost love, patience, and responsibility. In my home, I provide a calm, secure environment where dogs can relax and feel at ease. I maintain a consistent routine for feeding, potty breaks, exercise, and rest, and I make sure each dog gets the right balance of activity, mental stimulation, and affection based on their individual needs. My yard allows for safe outdoor time, and I’m always attentive and supervising. In a client’s home, I respect your pet’s established routine to help them feel as comfortable as possible in their familiar space. I follow all care instructions closely, keep their environment clean and safe, and make sure they receive plenty of attention and companionship while you’re away. No matter the setting, I focus on building trust, paying attention to each pet’s unique personality, and making sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for at all times.

“Once again, Jessica was fantastic! We are so happy we booked her to watch our 16 year old dog. She sent daily photos, updates, and was easy to communicate with. Jessica made sure to give our old pup her meds every day, and gave her extra love. Neela was very happy and comfortable in our own home. We were so pleased. Thank you!”

About: I have been pet sitting for about 15 years, everything from quick play dates to extended stays lasting over a month. I've worked with a variety of dogs including a 13-year old 4 pound chihuahua, a vizla that required 5 or more hours of solid exercise a day, a 160 pound mastiff that thought he was a lap dog, and a very scared dalmatian/husky/german shepherd mix that needed some serious work on social interations. I've dealt with skunk attacks, bee stings, an intestinal blockage and various types of aggression. I AM NOT CURRENTLY ABLE TO STAY OVERNIGHT DURING SITTINGS. I KEPT IT IN MY PROFILE BECAUSE IT IS LESS EXPENSIVE THAN BOOKING MULTIPLE DROP-INS At the end of last year I ended up taking in 3 Doberman puppies that I had dog sat for regularly. I was able to find a home of one of them but the other two are still with me. Because of this I am not able to do extended stays that require me to be gone overnight or dogs that cannot be left alone for a few hours due to separation anxiety or medical reasons. But if your dog is friendly please consider boarding! I currently work from home with flexible hours most of the time. My schedule is very accommodating and I love being able to take advantage of nice weather or last minute requests. The yard where I am is NOT fenced in, but it is very large with several acres of wooded area in the back. For dogs that need to stay on leash there is a long tie out and plenty of walks. I never let the dogs play outside without supervision. There are two other friendly dogs on the property (in addition to my own 2) and two dogs next-door that come over to play all the time. So we have our own mini, well-mannered, well-socialized dog park.
About: I love dogs and had one for 17 years! Our good boy recently crossed the rainbow bridge and we miss him so much. I have experience with young dogs, but also with senior dogs I am currently available during the day every weekday, so whether it’s an early morning or late afternoon walk, I can be there no problem! I treat every dog like my own and give them as long as a walk as they prefer or as many pets as they desire!
“Alyssa was absolutely amazing! My dog absolutely loved his time with her. She always kept me informed with what was going on, including multiple pictures. Despite very inclement weather she still showed up and made sure Roger was taken care of! She brought towels, checked his food and water! I cannot recommend her strongly enougj”
“So grateful to have had Mackenzie to come walk our dog while we were out of town. She was extremely caring and patient when our dog wasn’t totally sold on leaving with a stranger to go for his walk. Very grateful for her and her kindness! ♥️”
About: I’ve taken care of animals my whole life. I was a barn manager and had 12 horses and 21 acres along with many other farm animals. I have experience taking care of all animals, giving meds, feeding, walking and just over all comfort while a pet parent is gone. I work nights so when you are gone during the day and 8 hours is too long for your pup to be alone and just need to stretch their legs I can get them out for some play time or just some potty breaks I have lots of experience with many demeanors of animals. I have a very reactive dog and a very gentle loving dog myself. I can do lots of positive reinforcement with a reactive dog on a walk.
About: I've been lucky to share my life with two amazing dogs. One was a sweet 11-year-old deaf golden retriever that I adopted, and my first dog was a German Shepherd that I raised from a puppy until her sad passing. So, I definitely have plenty of puppy experience. For over a year now, I've been a dedicated pet sitter and dog walker, working with several wonderful clients and their furry friends. I always make sure to treat the pets in my care just like my own. I pet sit and dog walk full-time. Potty breaks are no more than 2 hours apart. I am not gone often outside of the home. I really enjoy taking the dogs outside to play every couple of hours. I make sure to feed them twice a day with half portions so they can eat more slowly, unless the owner has different instructions. My home is always neat and welcoming, and I use cozy couch covers so the pets can feel comfortable and free to relax on the couch. Walking dogs is something I truly enjoy, and I can happily handle up to three at a time. It’s a wonderful way for both me and the pups to get some good exercise. I also have a medium-sized, fenced yard where we enjoy playing fetch and taking the dogs for potty breaks. This way, the dogs stay active and are happily tired out when it’s time to go home. While I don’t do house sitting, I always make sure everything is tidy during check-ins, and I take care of the litter, food, and water to keep things comfortable for everyone.
About: I have experience with all kinds of pets. Especially dogs and cats. I have had dogs my entire life and cats of my own for about 2 years now! I currently work and go to college. Most of the time my afternoons are completely free. I also have very flexible times on the weekends! I have experience with walking dogs. I also have experience with taking care of dogs and cats if drop in visits are needed. I am also extremely gentle with all animals and love them with all of my heart
About: I used to dog walk a couple dogs. Then I moved onto horses. So I know I can handle the hardest canines. They’re fun to have around. I’m working but also just thinking about doing this instead. Work gets boring and this wouldn’t. I love animals and they tend to love me back. I have a giant yard. They can’t be off leash but we can have fun running in the grass. I have animals that will stay upstairs when the dog or cat is here.
About: Having worked as both a dog trainer and a pet care associate for PetSmart for 3+ years - as well as having always been a pet owner myself - I’ve learned a great deal about how to suit the needs of each and every pet and how to best communicate with them and accommodate their needs! As a teacher aide with summers off, I will have almost complete availability over summer. I am flexible and willing to work with you to figure out what will work best for I can comfortably handle different types of animals with my 2+ years of experience owning my own (cats, dogs, gerbils, hamsters, etc) and working with different species, as well as training dogs at my previous job as a PetSmart worker for 3+ years!
About: Thank you for giving me a chance to care for and walk your pet. I am passionate about caring for your pet as if they were my own. I have taken care of others pets for the past 12 years. I currently have my own dog, and cat that I love. I know how to care for all ages of dogs and cats, as well as have administered medication to both before in case that is needed while you are away during the day or on weekends. Pets to me are the best friends a human can have. I hope to hear from you soon about your pets and your caring needs. My schedule varies from week to week but no worries, I have it two weeks in advance so we can definitely plan your pups needs into my day. I currently have a dog friendly pup who can help keep your pup entertained if needed. I will care for your pets needs as if they were my own.
About: Namaste, my name is Julianna! Thank you for considering me to care for your pets as they were my own. I've had a passion for animals for as long as I can remember, I've grown up with cats and dogs in my household since I was a child!! I have 4 years of professional animal care as well, which I obtained working at an animal boarding and daycare facility! I have my own Lab/Boxer mix named Theodore, he loves to play fetch, go on hikes, and go for car rides💓 I look forward to meeting you and your pet!! I currently work a full-time job and am studying to become a Yoga Teacher! I can easily fit in dog walking and drop-in visits (for both dogs and cats) each day. As for dog sitting I prefer to have notice in advance as it's a bit more difficult working it into my work schedule. When dog sitting I follow the rules and guidelines for the Animal and home given to me by the clients. I complete my care for the pet and spend ample amount of time with them before leaving. For overnight sitting I leave the clients home as they left it. This means cleaning any dishes, countertop, taking care of trash, etc.
About: With 15 years of pet care experience, I’m dependable and attentive. I make sure every dog or cat feels comfortable, loved, and well cared for. My schedule is very flexible and open, so I can easily fit in walks, drop-ins, or overnight stays whenever needed. I plan around each pet’s routine. I treat every home and pet with the same care and respect as my own. I follow any instructions or schedules closely, and make sure pets feel safe and comfortable.
About: I've fostered a variety of dogs and puppies of different ages for many years. I have also dog sat for friends before and am reliable. I’ve had dogs all my life, so know how to take care of them in every stage of their life. I'm currently working part time, so I will be available to play with your pets and fulfill their needs. I always make sure my dogs are well taken care of and exercised. I always go outside with the animals so they won't run away and so I can keep an eye on them. I also walk dogs to get some exercise and play with them. I make sure to give them a lot of attention.

“Joan and Tim have taken excellent care of our Boxweiler, Mamas, several times. They have excellent communication and send cute pics! We never have any concerns or worries when she is with them. We can't say enough good things!”
“My Golden, Richard, had a lovely time with Karen and her husband! I was very comfortable leaving him with her. I loved all the pictures and videos along with the comforting text messages. They loved on my puppers so much his Golden hair will surely be around forever! I highly recommend the services Karen has to offer! 5 star all the way!”
“Thank you Jenn & Brian for taking such great care of Rooney, just like last time. Thanks for all the pics and videos while we were away! Clearly he had a blast playing with your pups, and he also came home nice and clean!! 😀 You guys are the best!”
“Our dog, Millie, seemed like she had a great time with Megan and her kids! Megan was friendly and very communicative the whole time. We received lots of picture, video, and text updates. We would definitely use her again!”
About: I have been taking care of animals for as long as I can remember and have been pet-sitting since age 10 for family, friends, and neighbors. I have almost always lived with at least one cat or dog (or both!) throughout my life. I also have experience caring for rabbits, ferrets, gerbils, fish, parakeets, bearded dragons, and cockatiels. I currently live with two indoor tortoiseshell cats who are comfortable with dogs, and one of my cats is leash-trained. I have raised and trained at least 11 dogs from puppies to adulthood (3 as my own and the others for my parents). Most of my cats I adopted as teenagers, but I have raised a few kittens from a young age. I have done extensive dog training with the 3 dogs I raised as my own in the past, and I am familiar with both dog and cat training techniques. I live in a cabin the woods in Boston, NY, on a power line gravel road. Although I do not have a fenced in back yard, your dog will enjoy going on leashed walks down the power line road multiple times per day! I earn a living through a mix of substitute teaching (summer starts June 25th!), remote research and writing gigs, tutoring, child care, and pet care. I have a flexible schedule and incorporate pet care into the mix as much as possible because I love animals. If I am boarding a dog at my home, I will not be house sitting at that time (and vice versa). While boarding or house sitting, I will consider dog walking and drop-ins depending on the needs of the client and driving distance. If you board your dog at my home, my cats and I wake up early (about 6am) and I like to go outside for a walk down the power line road right away, and then eat breakfast. Your dog will be able to spend time with me all day (on a leash when we are outside), and if I need to leave my house, they will be in their crate for no more than 4 hours (2 is my strong preference). We will go for at least one more walk before dinner, too. I will be sure to give them plenty of play time and exercise throughout the day (depending on their level of activity and how hot it is outside). No matter what, they will get a lot of love and attention! I live in a cabin in the woods in the Town of Boston, NY, so although I do not have a fenced-in yard, there is very little traffic or people around. I will be able to go on long leashed walks with your dog down the power line for exercise, and there are a few friendly neighbor dogs that would love to say hello if your dog is up for that. I do live with two cats: one of them will hide a lot while your dog is here, but the other is very dog-friendly and will want to interact with your dog. I will monitor and separate them as needed (I have a spare room). I have always crate-trained my dogs and so long as your dog is comfortable in their crate, I will use it as a safe place for them to be while they are staying with me.
“Denae and Mark were absolute angels! They are such nice people! I felt that my crazy, young pittie was in great hands! Zero felt right at home during the first meet and greet and that made leaving her there for a long weekend less anxiety-inducing for both me and her as she is a bit of an anxious dog. They made her feel so comfortable! I will definitely be booking with them again and would recommend them for anyone! Lots of pictures and great communication! Thank you Mark and Denae!”
“Rylee is wonderful. She took great care of Kiko and sent me updates very often. She was also very receptive to my instructions and advice for taking care of him. Kiko got to play with her other dogs, enjoy the big fenced in yard, go for rides in the car and enjoy some pup cups. Rylee really treated Kiko as one of her own. I will absolutely seek her out again should I need someone to care for Kiko in the future.”
“Chelsea and Derek were wonderful! They communicated well and provided pictures showcasing how well our pup was settling in. They managed multiple dogs without issue. We’ll certainly be back in the future.”
“Melissa is fantastic, and I won’t be taking my pal anywhere else from now on. She was accommodating to my busy travel schedule and sent me update pics while I was gone! Also, he came home tired so I know he enjoyed his stay. I wish I could leave more than 5 stars!”
“Logan is very chill which is exactly the type of person you want to leave your dogs with. One of my dogs does not like people he doesn't know, especially if they are men, but he acted like he and Logan were old friends when we dropped him off for his first overnight stay. Both dogs have been sleeping hard since we picked them up which means they got plenty of play time in. We will definitely be using Logan in the future and highly recommend him.”
“Jin was great. Zeke can be nervous when in a new situation and Jin handled him flawlessly. The updates each day were amazing and I am so thankful that Zeke had such a kind and considerate sitter. Thank you so much!!!”
“Coco had a wonderful time and is still sleeping off all the playtime she had. I received a wonderful update and picture while I was gone to help ease my mind. I would absolutely recommend and will be using again. Thank you so much!!”
“Valerie was amazing. She Made me feel so comfortable with leaving my service pup for first time 🙏🏻💕 her place is more than enough for a large pooch. So grateful! Will definitely return”
“Monica is the best. The dogs love her and we will trust her with our puppers for any time we need a pet sitter. She was extremely communicative- texts, videos, pictures- and we couldn't have asked for better.”
“Charlette and her family took such great care of our little baby. She sent several updates and pictures all day. Because of her great care I was able to visit family with no worries about our fur baby. Thank you so much for everything you did for me!!! I will definitely use again if in the area in the future.”
“Kona had a great stay at Shannon and David’s! They were welcoming and warm which made Kona very comfortable. Pictures were so cute. He loved the long walks too! We were able to have a great weekend in Ellicottville with no worries. I highly recommend them and would absolutely have Kona stay on our next visit!”
“I’m so so happy with Jeff’s care of Athena. He provided lots of updates and pictures and took her on long walks every day. I’ll definitely be rebooking with him!”
