“Steve was super, our Samantha was well taken care of. We couldn’t have asked for a better person to watch her. II know she can be a handful and he treated her like she was one of his own. I would definitely recommend him.”
“Chip had a great time with Bee! He was there 4 nights, very responsive if we checked in and provided updates. Very flexible with pickup and drop off. Based off her pictures of him relaxing and how calm he is when we picked him up, he seemed to have a good time! Thank you Bee! -Maria”
“During the introduction meeting Carolina and her family were all so welcoming and kind and Carolina was obviously on point professionally so I was completely comfortable with leaving Onyx with them. The appointment went very smoothly and I highly recommend her to anyone needing a dog-sitter.”
“Kathryn and Jared were great with our female pittie with her 11 day stay. Their dogs welcomed her, and they had a great time just by looking at the pictures they sent. We will definitely use them the next time we go on vacation.”
“❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Courage loved Charlene and her husband so much! Courage can be a very difficult dog so I was extra worried about finding a sitter who could handle him. So when we met for a meet and greet, I was so relieved and I could immediately tell that Courage would be in good hands. He doesn't always get along with strangers but he loved his stay at Charlene's! She sent me pictures throughout his visit, which was awesome. You can tell that Charlene absolutely loves dogs and loves dog sitting ❤️ I highly recommend her! ??”
“Again, Dana took out wily terrier into her beautiful home and treated him like a prince, meals and walks on schedule and a peaceful bedtime ever night. She sent helpful photos and videos during his stay and as always she's as kind to his humans as she is to him!”
“Mary is AWESOME! My Sammy had a blast and was tired when he got home, a sure sign of lots of playing! Mary sent lots of pictures and updates. My boy was on her lap in one pic, which warmed my heart! She even let him choose a toy to bring home, along with a printed postcard of him that was beautiful! I didn’t worry about Sammy for one minute because I knew he was in good hands. I will most definitely book with Mary again! Highly recommend!!!”
“We were extremely pleased with the care and attention that Michelle gave to our dog Dixie. She took great care of our dog and when we came to pick her up, I think Dixie would have been happy to stay longer. The house, the accommodations and the caretaker were perfect for our dog and she was very relaxed when we came to pick her up. Michelle was a very good "fit" for us and Dixie. We definitely would use Michelle again.”
“Alex took such great care of my dog! He provided plenty of updates, including photos and messages, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. My dog came home happy, well-exercised, and clearly well-loved.”
“Luann was such a perfect fit to watch our Mabel. She is great with dogs, has a beautiful home, and huge fenced yard for outdoor activity. She graciously provided us with pics and videos while we were away which we appreciated. So thoughtful. We will definitely be booking again in the future!”
“We left our dog with Lorinda for several days. She did great with Caya and Caya loved her. We were sent photos, which we loved. We will definitely leave her again with no worries. I recommend Lorinda to anyone.”

“Rejon was absolutely awesome with my two cats! KitKat loved having her company thoroughly, and even my shy boy Gomez made an appearance for her (a rare occurrence)! She was wonderful with my cats and I couldnt be more grateful for her service!”
“I trust Samuel with my precious pets. He is on time, and goes above and beyond. I know because he did it when I had a last minute request and a special situation. He provided options to make it easier for me. My cats are happy with him and so am I.”
“Nicole was amazing - prompt, loving with our cat, and even brought our mail in when I forgot packages were arriving. She was truly a godsend! Will use her again next time we leave town :)”
“Erin was fabulous! She sent a picture everyday and even found where the cats hid. She was there every day and is very trustworthy which is very important. I will definitely hire her again when we go on vacation!”
“Colleen was very responsive to all messages and came out very early to keep my cats on their regular feeding schedule. They all have very specific food needs and she did a good job ensuring that they were receiving the right food and mixing in enough water. She left good feedback as well to make sure their eating habits were in line with normal. She also was able to get close enough to our shyest cat to send a photo at every visit.”
“I can't say enough good things about Johnna. This was my first time having Johnna pet sit for my dog and three casts. She sent me several pictures of the pets and wrote informative reviews of how they were doing. Johnna walked Flossy, my dog each day. She was meticulous in terms of picking up after the animals. When I returned I found the house in order. Johnna is pleasant to work with. I highly recommend her.”
About: My name is Brianna and I’m a kindergarten teacher during the school year and an avid animal lover year-round. I’ve always had a passion for caring for animals, and I’d love the opportunity to care for your pets as if they were my own.

Being Winston’s owner has strengthened my love for animals and helped me understand that every pet has their own unique personality and needs. I’ll treat your furry family member with the same patience, kindness, and attention that I give Winston, making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I am available any time throughout the summer; my schedule is more flexible during this time. Once the school year begins, I will be available only on weekends.

About: About Me & Experience 🐱💛 Hi!! I’m a 30-year-old elementary school teacher and a huge animal lover—especially when it comes to cats 💛 I grew up on a farm, so caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. I’ve had experience pet sitting for multiple families, including homes with both dogs and cats. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, litter box care, playtime, and making sure each pet gets the attention they need. I also understand that every cat is different—some are playful and social, while others are more shy and independent—and I always take a gentle, patient approach to help them feel safe and comfortable. As a teacher, I’m very patient, responsible, and trustworthy. Families trust me every day with their children, and I bring that same level of care and dependability when looking after pets. I’m happy to follow detailed care instructions to keep your cat’s routine consistent and stress-free. I will treat your cat like they’re my own and make sure they feel relaxed, cared for, and loved while you’re away. ⸻ A Little Extra 🐾 I love sending updates, pictures, and little check-ins so you always feel at ease 😊
“DelilahaLynn Was absolutely wonderful. She took care of my elderly cat and sent me wonderful pictures of him. Our trip ended up being extended, and she absolutely had no problem with taking care of him for a few more days. I will absolutely book her again when I go on my next trip. I believe you can trust your fur babies in her care.”

“Great services. Carissa is really patient and thoughtful taking care of my cats. And she always tries best to do all care stuff and asks me if she has any concerns. She sent me many photos during the drop-in visit and my cats are really comfortable with her, even the timid one. I really appreciate her help while I am out of town. And I will select her service again if I am out of town in the future.”
“Our doggie looked sooo happy and rested when I got back & I know that’s b/c of J’s care. We have an older elderly dog with unique medical needs. This is the sitter you want their patience and care was excellent. Looking forward to rebooking them soon very soon indeed.”

About: I have had pets most of my life. I quit my job and started a non-profit, St. Lewis Foundation, which didnt work out, so all the animals in my care became my pets. They were mostly senior and unwanted animals, which is where my heart is. I am unemployed right now, looking for remote work . So I am home all day. I have the time to let your pup out as many times as he/she wants. If they are a little dog I will be right by their side. I am up 6a - 9p. I have 3 senior cats that sleep up high most of the day, so your pup needs to be okay with cats. All pups sleep with me in my king size bed (if they want to). I have a dog bed next to me in my office or a couch in front of a large front window. I have locked screen security doors in case your pup likes to sniff the air. Central AC (I like it cool) and heating. I have many balls and treats (if allowed) and would love to throw the ball a bit. Back yard is not huge but sufficient. All my dogs have passed and I am missing a dog so much but cant commit right now. So let me love on your pup!

About: I have a small dog, an indoor piggy, and a caged bird. I have grown up with pets, and always make sure they are properly taken care of. I love all animals, and strive to provide them the best stay possible. I am currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to spend with the fur babies!

She’s is not aggressive towards other dogs, she just prefers humans. The animals are allowed on furniture and allowed to sleep in bed with Charlie and myself; as my home is their home for the duration of their stay!
“This was my dog's first time with a Rover sitter. Lorinda did her best to get him settled. She understood he was not wanting to be social. She got her chair and stayed by him while he was in her fenced area. Couldn't ask for more.”
About: I've had dogs my entire life, but really started taking a lot of responsibility for their care around 12. From small breeds to large, I've loved them all!

“We were so lucky to have found Celia during our three month contract here in Binghamton. She truly loves dogs and it is evident by the way she treats them ! She brought toys for them and always sent tons of pictures- we are sad to be leaving her behind! My dogs will surely miss her and I always knew I could count on her even in bad weather. Highly recommend Celia for dog drop ins or walks- she is truly dedicated and will do what ever it takes to win over your dogs trust. Five stars !”

About: I have had two cats all of my life, while also pet sitting my friends’ dogs when they went out of town. I am very familiar with both cats and dogs and I am happy to hang out with your pet when you cannot be there for them. I am taking a gap year from school so my schedule is fairly flexible. As long as there are set times that are clear I can make it work. Depending on whether you have cats or dogs will change the way I care for your pet in your home. With dogs, there will be more going in and out with walks and with cats I will stay in the home to make sure everything is up to your standards.
“Colleen is excellent. She took great care of my puppy. She noticed a sore/ hotspot and arranged for us to get in to see her vet the same day and even volunteered to take him if my schedule didn’t allow.”

I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet, and I treat every animal with the same care, patience, and attention I would want for my own. Whether it’s a walk, drop-in visit, or overnight stay, I’m committed to making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m reliable, communicative, and always happy to provide updates for peace of mind. As a college student with a flexible schedule, I’m able to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I prioritize regular walks, playtime, feeding schedules, and companionship to help pets feel comfortable and maintain their routine while their owners are away. I’m available for boarding, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week and on weekends. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, ages, and temperaments, including pets recovering from medical procedures.
About: My title says it all. I believe that all animals deserve to be treated with love, thoughtfulness and respect. My pets are like my children, and I consider myself to be their father moreso than their owner; and I understand that many of you feel the same way. I will treat your babies with just as much consideration and will care for them like they were my own beloved, furry, extended family members. I am extremely well-versed in all aspects of animal care. I was essentially raised with dogs and cats and learned how to nurture and care for them at a very young age. I have cared for dogs and cats my entire life. In addition to having many wonderful experiences as a loving parent to my own pets, I have volunteered at domestic animal shelters for decades. I have fostered dogs and cats for animal shelters in my home (at one point I had 5 cats, a mama dog and 7 puppies in a two-bedroom apartment!), been an assistant manager at an all-volunteer pet adoption agency, and volunteered at a wildlife rescue and rehab center/farm sanctuary where I got to feed and care for numerous wild and farm sanctuary animals. I have helped prepare meals, feed, and care for raccoons, baby squirrels, possums, pigs, cows, horses, and all sorts of birds. I have been walking dogs professionally for around 9 years. I primarily work as a Travel Nurse, where I take care of patients in the recovery room after surgery, and walking dogs is typically what I do between contracts. I am not officially trained in animal medicine, but mammals are typically mammals, and I am the person in my family that has largely taken care of any of my family's pets after any type of surgical procedure. I also have experience giving pets shots and oral medications from when I volunteered at the pet adoption agency. I am currently available for walks from 9 am to 9 pm, Monday through Friday. I figure that's really the sweet spot to help people's pets while they're at work. I am also available on weekends depending on the situation. Sometimes I will pick up per diem shifts at surgery centers between contracts, so I may be working as a nurse and unavailable. Reach out to me if you would like me to care for your pet and I will try to accommodate your needs. I will treat your pets and home with the utmost love and respect. Your pets are your babies, I get it. It's very uncomfortable inviting a stranger into your home, and giving them access to the little fur babies you love as your children. I know what it's like from an owner's perspective, myself, when I've utilized these services for my dogs. I, too, have heard the horror stories about pets that have been abused by people who were trusted to care for them and they make me sick. It's impossible for me to 100% reassure you with words. All I can say is that I love fur babies and would never do anything to hurt them. Plus, I respect people's homes and your privacy, and I'm not going to use your bathroom or venture into areas of your home where I don't need to be. I'm just going to get your dog and their leash and do whatever you need me to do. If you want me to give them a treat, or fill their water bowl, I'll happily do that. But only if you give me permission to go into your kitchen, pantry, etc. As a travel nurse, I have to get fingerprinted for every new state license, and background checked and drug tested for each new assignment. Sometimes as much as four times a year, if I do 4 back-to-back 13 week contracts. Believe me when I say my background is spotless.
About: I've taken care of my own dog for the past 9 years Including training. (Black mouth cur). I've also dog sit for my friends husky puppy for about a years time before I moved out of the area. I volunteered At a petting zoo for a few years taking care of multiple species. And I even worked as a professional zookeeper for a year + working with wolves, several big cat species, along with primates, hoofstock, giraffe, several birds like macaw and parrots, and also reptile species. I've prepared and provides these animals with special diets, given medication, worked on training, and even helped bottle feed and raise several animals such as goats, cougars, penguins, and others. I currently work as a marine Biologist who goes out to sea several days at a time with not a lot of warning so I can watch houses and walk dogs several days In a row but It's easiest for me to schedule only a day or two in advance. I'm always very animal attentive and I will focus on your pets needs and their behaviors. I like walking so if I house sit your dog I will make sure they get plenty of exercise. Anything like providing medications or whatever your pet needs I can do up to your discretion and I listen to owners for all of their specific pet care institutions
“david is fantastic and Cobal adored him and so did I! He’s big and strong and listens to what we want and I appreciate that! Plus, his price is not out of sight and I can afford to do that every week I believe! Colbert was exhausted after his hour of walking with david and that’s that’s great”
About: Animals (especially dogs!) are my greatest passion in life. I have two dogs of my own that I’ve raised since they were 8 weeks old. They are my entire world! I am knowledgeable in basic dog training and obedience, and very observant and understanding of animal behavior. Nothing brings me more joy and happiness in life than being surrounded by the love and purity of animals. My dream in life is to open a sanctuary for stray dogs. I recently rescued a stray puppy in Puerto Rico and found her a forever loving home in the states, many more rescuing to come! I currently have open availability. I have a very flexible and adaptable schedule and I am open to what works best for you and your pets needs! I love hanging out with your pups and providing them with quality, love and care while you are away! I am a perfectionist and I give out the same level of thorough care that I would want for my own dogs! I tailor my visits according to you and your pups needs, whether that be a nice long walk, fresh food and water, play time or just companionship. I constantly monitor for potential hazards and act accordingly in order to limit any risks.
About: I have cared for so many types of dogs since I was a kid. From little Chihuahuas and Dachshunds to Pitbulls and Rottweilers. I absolutely love them all! I love taking dogs on long walks and providing a lot of play time. I have cared for puppies, senior dogs, dogs with heart conditions, dogs that needed medications administered, and more. I currently work in a local elementary school, I have a big heart for humans and animals ♥️. I love to fill my weekends and summers providing safe, and comfortable pet care. I’m currently available all summer!!! I am very respectful of my clients wishes when it comes to their pets as I know that they are a part of the family! I will happily follow any schedule or routine wanted by my clients. I will always ensure safety during walks and play time. I make sure to communicate a lot and send plenty of photos and videos.
About: While I'm more experienced with cats in my home, I have always been the go-to pet sitter for all friends and family. I appreciate that they get just as excited to go for a w-a-l-k as I do. It helps that my schedule is extremely flexible since I'm a bartender who works odd hours. I can do early mornings, late nights, and a mix of anything you need in between. I'm a bartender, so I am available early mornings, late nights, and a good mix of anything in between. The bar I work at is also closed on Sundays and Mondays, so scheduling on those days is completely flexible. My cats are fairly active, so we spend quite a bit of time playing fetch or hide and seek (cats are so odd). I also take them on bike rides with my bike trailer attachment. I'm also equipped to handle medication needs. I don't crate my cats when I'm not home, so that would have to be provided by the client if there is a requirement for one.

“Steve was super, our Samantha was well taken care of. We couldn’t have asked for a better person to watch her. II know she can be a handful and he treated her like she was one of his own. I would definitely recommend him.”
“Chip had a great time with Bee! He was there 4 nights, very responsive if we checked in and provided updates. Very flexible with pickup and drop off. Based off her pictures of him relaxing and how calm he is when we picked him up, he seemed to have a good time! Thank you Bee! -Maria”

About: For nearly 20years I’ve been caring for animals of all types. I have experience with Dogs, Cats, Rodents, Reptiles, and just about everything in between. Family, Friends, Neighbors, Co-Workers and Clients have relied on me to care for their furry family members & I’ve had furry family members of my own my whole life. I have worked with all ages and sizes, and am comfortable with pets with disabilities or medical needs. For the past 16years I’ve cared for people with disabilities as a Direct Support Professional. I am currently doing that as a part-time night shift, so I am available most days and eves, during the week and on weekends! I have loved many forms of my own pets and understand the importance of safety and trust that comes with caring for another’s loved one. I currently plan to do pet walking, play dates, and sitting in your home. May consider overnight stays. May consider boarding on case by case basis. Always open for requests, and again, will consider on a case by case basis.
About: I truly love animals and treat every pet like part of the family. I’ve volunteered at an animal shelter and have cared for dogs, puppies, cats, kittens, reptiles, bunnies, and pets that require medication. Since I work remotely, I’m able to give your pet lots of attention, companionship, and care throughout the day. I’ll send you as many pics as you’d like :) Since I work remotely, pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. Walks are already a regular part of my schedule, and I’m available throughout the day for feeding, playtime, cuddles, and plenty of attention. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, medication, and any special instructions. Whether they’re in my home or theirs, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for, with plenty of attention and updates for their owner!
About: All the animals we have in this world deserve the love and care I am more than excited to provide. Your pet will be in the best hands of this animal whisperer. Since the age I could start walking, I’ve loved animals as my family and have always loved to be around them. I can help keep your babies on their schedules so you can stick to yours too. There is plenty of time for me to get out and about with your faithful companion. I will be able to give them long walks and plenty of time to play. In your home, I can play with your dog with their toys and if you have a yard, we can play fetch and lay out in the sun. Here at my home, you can be assured that I will love them just the same, if not more and keep them on their schedules.
About: Taking care of pets has always been part of my life. I have a fenced in yard for dogs to run and play. As for walks, I have to active kids who are always willing to take a walk around. I currently work at the local school just minutes from my home. I come home middle of the day. I am home during the summer and on weekends. I have a fenced in yard and one dog who is a big baby. Dogs are allowed to lay wherever they are comfortable but can also crate if they are used to that.
“This was the first time we boarded Gus so we were a little nervous leaving our baby. But we didn’t need to worry as he was so well taken care of! He seemed very comfortable, and came home extra sleepy from playing so much. I would absolutely have Gus stay again with Elizabeth!”
About: I am just starting to my fourth career, playing with your companion. I recently retired from teaching sustainable development at UAlbany. I now spend my days outside with hairy friend Herman. I picked up my first stray, Bandit, at 9. I have had a at least one dog since then, I am now 63. All from shelters or strays. I also did doggie foster care too. Known to be gentle and friend of the furry ones. I start each day with a morning meander across the 25 acres on a dead end road. Your companion will be well exercised, loved and cared for as long as they get along with my 14 year old hairy friend Herman, who lets cats eat from his dishes. He runs the place when it comes to house rules. He does not have viscous bone in his body. After three careers and global travel I am recently retired. My days are spent gardening, walking, sitting on the porch, listening to music, etc. I am rarely gone more than a few hours as Herman, my four legged friend, needs special care at 14 years old. I am typically up before dawn, no dog or alarm necessary. My day typically begins with me waking predawn and greeting the new day with my hound Herman on the 25 acres we cohabitate. Most is abandoned agriculture returning to forest for 35 plus years that is bisected by a small babbling brook. Breakfast is then served before returning outside. In climate weather I am outside more than 70% of my day outside. At 14 he chooses to stay in sometimes. Your companion will be free to make their own choice too. My life ambition is to nurture life. I have cared for pets since I was born as my family had cats. There is a fenced area that includes four shaded area. There will be plenty of water, including a baby pool for play as well as sprinklers. This area is shares two fences lines with my garden, has direct access to a walk out basement, and is fully visible from my porch. The dogs will have near 24/7 personal attention and care. I live sustainably. There are no chemicals in my lawn or garden. I have an enclosed porch that in the summer is open air, but no steps to escape. Only with your permission would I walk a guest off leash. Before walking them off leash I will need feel 100% confident they respond to command when other distractions are present. Again with your permission I would take your friend to a fenced in dog park visit as a trial run. Herman, my housemate, is a happy healthy 14 year old he is my best reference. He also has final word on all guest of all species. About an 1/2 acre is fenced with direct access from the house through the basement door. It includes shaded doggie lounges, a baby pool in the summer, toys galore, and lots of attention as the space is adjacent to my garden and the covered porch. It has the capacity to be divided if unruly dog needs to be isolated or there are little ones that just need time away from the bigger ones. Indoors, dogs are free to roam in the basement and first floor. If they are cage trained I can accommodate that. The two beds are off limits. To prevent misunderstanding with bed loving dogs I will keep my guest room. Both the porch and the living room couches are fine. Little ones may use chairs too. The house is really set up for Herman’s comfort and safety. The 32x10 covered front porch is a favorite of Herman and all his visiting friends. Your hairy friend will be delighted by this feature too. One more thing, the hardwood floors are currently covered in rubber “yoga mats” as Herman can not cope with slippery floors. There are also many large dog beds that Herman is happy to share. Opps, where are our manners; welcome to our slice of Paradise!😊
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since a young age. I love going on long walks. I have fenced yard with a lot of room to roam. During my free time, I don’t mind spending days full of cuddles in the house watching movies with my furry companions. There will be endless attention given to my furry companions. I work during the day part time. I live 5 mins away from work so I am always close bye to care for the furry one when needed. I have a fenced yard. As well as a a screen door in the front of the house. I’ll never pet your pets in an unsafe situation and will always confirm with the pets owner before anything!
“Booked last minute and was very accommodating. I needed a day sitter for my 2 labs and received pictures/ updates thought the day. My dogs had a great day and were well cared for. Would definitely recommend and book again in the future.”
“Robert made our first experience with Rover, great! He put our minds at ease by responding to our messages and questions in a timely manner. He gave updates on our dog many times per day. Drop off was easy and he lives in a location perfect for walking dogs. Will definitely use him sgain.”
