“Kelly was absolutely amazing. We needed a dog sitter in a pinch, last minute. She met our dogs next day, then the day after we dropped them off. One of my girls has major anxiety amd super hyperactive. She took them for walks amd sent us pictures. Couldn't believe they were the same dogs! Highly recommend...”
“Ashley was very nice and helpful with watching our dog Blue while we were on vacation. She made sure Blue was comfortable and happy the entire time, and sent us a lot of great pictures and updates.”
“Chloe had the best time while she was there. I was not worried at all and knew she was in good hands. The daily checkups and pictures reassured me she was having fun!!!”
“Arlo, our weim has stayed with Joan and Tim multiple times now and they are absolutely amazing. Arlo is always so well cared for, happy, and relaxed when we get home. They’re reliable, communicative, and truly love what they do. We trust them completely and feel so lucky to have found them! Highly recommend!”
“We just picked up our pup from her first stay with Monica and it was a success! I appreciated the daily photo and video updates that Monica was so kind to send. Our CareBear acclimated instantly and was treated wonderfully. We will definitely be using her again down the road when we have future road trips. Thank you again Monica for making us feel so comfortable leaving our furry friend with you from the initial meet and greet to the actual stay!”
“Bev watched my chihuahua for the first time. She came home happy and playful. I could tell she had a wonderful time. Also Bev’s comment was she sure loves her tummy rubbed which I knew meant if all she wanted was Bev to rub her belly she really liked her and trusted her. I will definitely be using Bev again soon.”
“I’m so grateful she accepted my dog last minute on the same day. She took amazing care of him and treated him like her own. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such loving, reliable hands. We’ll be back!! Highly recommend!”
“It was so reassuring knowing that Josh & Kelly were taking great care of our pup while we were on vacation. They, along with their children were so caring and loving to Gus. We received pictures and updates every day too. He couldn’t have been in better hands, and we will definitely be contacting them again to watch him.”
“Mickey was great. She made Beasley feel very comfortable and treated him like one of the family. She even bought him a sweater that she let us keep while we were gone because it got very cold out. He not only loved her but he also made a couple new friends at her house. Sunny and Sylvester were great companions for him during his stay. We will definitely be calling Mickey for future travels when Beasley needs a place to stay.”
“Sarah was awesome! She was available on a pretty short notice and sent me photos and updates throughout the weekend. Sarah and her family are all dog lovers and very friendly. I highly recommend her and if I'm ever in need of a dog sitter again, she's first on my list! Thanks again Sarah!”
“Mindy was amazing with my fur baby! She was able to accommodate me very last minute and kept me updated with cute pictures and videos the whole time. My dog can be rather anxious with new people and he settled in super fast with Mindy- 20/10 recommend her for your pet needs!”
“Jacque & Emily were absolutely wonderful with our two dogs. We received a lot of pictures and updates while we were gone. Both seemed happy and well cared for when we arrived to pick them up.”
“Erika and her husband took fantastic care of my little senior chihuahua. They made sure he got all his medicine and special diet. I knew he was in the right place when he seemed so comfortable at their house. ( He is generally very shy around new people and pets.) He got his daily walks in their fenced yard. It was very comforting to know he had a secure place to wander around since his vision and hearing is impaired. They are also genuinely sweet people who obviously love animals. Also fantastic that they are generally home during the day to supervise the pets. A+++ experience. Will definitely use their services in the future!”
“My puppy had a fabulous time with Danielle! This was a wonderful first-time experience using Rover. I felt like Danielle really knew how to take care of my dog and was super comfortable leaving her in her care. I appreciated all the pics and updates too. Thank you so much!!!”

“Kevin kept an eye on my cats while I went away for Christmas. He was awesome! He was attentive to the cats when he came over, cleaned the litter boxes and gave them cat food. He even took the time to warm up and play with them for a while when he came over. I’ll definitely be using Kevin again anytime I need a drop in visit!”
“Spencer did a great job with a drop-in visit for my two cats, Zu Zu and Mr. T. He was prompt, thorough, and made sure everything was taken care of while I was away. I appreciated the attention to detail and the care he showed for my cats. I’d definitely recommend Spencer to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter!”

About: I have helped work with rescues due to my older sister, I have fostered dogs, I have two of my own, as well as help take care of all (5) of my sisters dogs along with my parents and occasionally friends and coworkers dogs. I can be trusted and I’m more than willing! I can’t wait to be able to help you and your furbabies because I know I would want someone reliable to watch mine as well. My hours are pretty flexible I do work at a local restaurant in Clarence most days but typically free before and afterwards! I know of nice trails and paths to walk the dogs and I’m reliable to answer the phone as well. I have grown up with small dogs and very big dogs so I’m great at handling all sizes and breeds!
“Allison was absolutely wonderful with my pup! She’s reliable, caring, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. From our first message, she was professional and easy to communicate with—always providing updates and photos so I knew my dog was happy and safe. I came home to a calm, well-cared-for pup and a tidy house. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my dog was in such capable hands. I would 100% recommend Allison to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter.”

Friends and family have trusted me to take care of their fur babies and I've been handling & working with dogs almost every day for almost two years as a doggy daycare attendant, kennel staff, special pup advisor, and group coordinator. I love taking them on walks and practicing sits, stays, downs, give paws, etc... I absolutely love all animals and promise to take care of your babies as if they were my own!

Weekday hours vary and I will always be super transparent about my availability! Your pets' safety is important to me so please feel free to leave detailed instructions and I will follow them to a T. I will also keep consistent contact with you, providing (p)updates with photos! I can crate your dog(s) if needed as well. I'm also Red Cross animal first aid certified.

About: **About me** Hello! My name is Mariah, I am a sophomore in college pursing a Veterinary degree! I have always loved working with animals and have grown up around them all my life. I have such a strong passion for animals of any kind which is why I am pursing a career in it! All throughout my life I have watched family and friends animals and my love for working with animals have grown every day. Growing up with dogs, cats, and other pets it has given me a great amount of knowledge about them and how to take care of them. I feel that each animal has it's own unique personality which makes them even more special. I am good at taking care of animals with medical conditions or post surgical. I gave medications to many dogs before and have taken care of post surgical. I took care of pets with bandages that needed cleaning and broken bones. **About my home** When you are away or have a trip and need someone to take care of such as walk, feed, love, or bathe your animal I will be there! If you are at work or have an event that prevents you from being there to take care of your pet, I am able to come and help you out! **About my neighborhood** I live in Jefferson City. There are some nice trails by me and the Cherokee Dam! There is also Panther Creek State Park that has beautiful trails for walking and getting energy out! There is plenty of open land around that pets will love! **What to expect** I love playing with and showing animals how special they are which I am confident they will enjoy as well! I enjoy going for runs and long walks which they will too! The lake near me is one of the best spots to play and walk. **Special rules or requests** I am open to any size, and breed of dog, cat, etc. I do not have a preference on sizes of dogs. I also am not bothered by breeds of dogs, I truly believe that every dog is just as good as the next and the most misunderstood breeds of dogs are the most loving.
About: Always had pets (cats, dogs, rodents) growing up, one year of horse barn experience and dog training apprenticehood at Summit K9 in Rochester NY! My dog training consisted of... - consistent feedback from two licensed trainers - leash walking skills - reactivity reduction (barking at other dogs, the door, people) - managing doggy daycare including half a day of one on one training and half a day of social groups - creating groups, managing consistent training across multiple employees - assessing the training and social level of any particular dog - crating skills - taking crate sensitive/aggressive dogs in and out of crates - walking people sensitive/stranger aggressive dogs - teaching cue recognition (place, sit, down, yes, no) - caring for boarding dog's needs - walking multiple dogs at once, training dogs to walk together With cats I am comfortable and knowledgeable about... - providing appropriate play - basic training using food incentive and luring - picking up a cat appropriately by supporting the spine and reducing tension on the scruff - responding to stomach issues and puke - reading body language for anxiety and aggression With horses I am familiar and comfortable with all daily care including stable cleaning and fetching skiddish horses from pasture. As for my pets.. My first cat was a stray found at 4 weeks that I learned how to teach to groom and care for himself. I also know how to manage ear mites, or any other kind of skin or tick care. Our dog was a breeder who also has needed a lot of specialized care. I am most experienced with rodents (have owned over 8 rats, 4 guinea pigs and a rabbit)! I've never personally owned a bird or a lizard, but have cared for friends and I always commit to accurate research. If you have any questions or worries regarding my experience and competency I would love to hear from you! I am very available right now, and I intend to make pet care my biggest priority. I am happy to discuss all kinds of scheduling. I love going above and beyond for my pets. Our cats are indoor and outdoor but I am always checking on them and keep a consistent feeding schedule to prevent overeating (they have sensitive stomachs). Our dog is also very needy, as she has some anxiety from her last owner so she needs to always be accompanied while outside and will not do certain things alone. I keep my rats in my room where they get frequent engagement with the whole family, and I enjoy making homemade puzzles and toys for them. Overall, all of our animals live active, healthy lives!

“This is my second time writing a review. Sarah is THAT astounding 🤩 I’m so grateful to have found her on this app. My fur baby always leaves so content and falls asleep right away because of how much Sarah plays with her and keeps her active during her stay. 10/10 would recommend Sarah to EVERYONE! ❤️🐕🦺”
“Danielle is awesome! She exudes dog-people-ness: our dog was immediately comfortable in her home (and with her!) and she did a lovely job of caring for him/delivering him home at the end of his visit. We received adorable photos and felt entirely confident he was in great hands all day. Thanks Danielle!!”
“I was so apprehensive about leaving my little pooch for the first time but no worries! Natalie took such good care of him and I couldn’t have wished for a better experience . We will be back. If I could give more than 5 🌟stars I would! Thank you Natalie! ❤️”
“Feeling so grateful for the care Bandit received and the opportunity he had to interact with other dogs. Chelsea and Derek are set up to care for pets and they know what they are doing! Bandit came home super content and happy!”
“I highly recommend Joah & Kelly! They were very aware and responsive to Rosie, provide a lot of support during her first day. I really appreciated the pics 📸 they sent throughout the day, too. It was reassuring to see Rosie happy & comfortable.”
“Mary is absolutely fantastic. Beautiful home easy to get to. Very knowledgeable and extremely helpful. My dog has been going to Mary every week. Safe environment I can’t recommend highly enough.”
About: I’m a fun, patient, attentive and big-hearted animal lover with a lifetime of experience caring for pets. Growing up with a variety of animals, including dogs, cats, and reptiles, I’ve developed a deep understanding of their needs. I’ve cared for pets ranging from reptiles and fish, to senior dogs and cats, to puplies and brand new kittens. At 19, I adopted my first dog, a Bull Mastiff, and raised him from a 6-week-old puppy to a 140-pound adult. I’ve also cared for my family’s cats after my mother passed, and I lovingly adopted a 12-year-old Cairn Terrier, providing him with care until his passing at 16.5 years. While I have no formal training, I have a natural ability to train animals with patience and love, always using a firm yet gentle approach. I’m experienced in handling a variety of species, including reptiles like ball pythons and geckos, and have even assisted with rescuing wildlife. What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals, my diverse experience, and my ability to provide both playful and responsible care. Your pet will feel loved, safe, and well-cared for with me! I live alone, lost the last of my own critters, and am a seasonal traveler. I go to Argentina for a couple months every winter so I can’t responsibly own pets of my own, but I am built to be around them! I need animals in my life so this is as much for me as it is for you. I work remotely so I have a lot of flexibility especially when it comes to sitting or walking from my home or town. I can be very attentive to your animal to whatever fits their comfort level. I am very active so am I game for hikes, walks, and lots of playing, but can also enjoy a nice sit and snuggle with an elderly friend. I live alone so there would be no triggers from children, other animals, etc. once they’re in my house. I live walking distance from several trails and parks. I also love taking dogs for car rides! Whatever they wish. I am very attentive so I ensure your baby will be content and cared for to the best of our ability.
“We were just passing through on a road trip and landed tickets to see the Bills play so this was a last minute book. Sierra was wonderful with our Bella who has separation anxiety. She took it slow with Bella and soon Sierra had her eating (she has NEVER eaten a meal when we are not there with her), going for walks, and napping. I can tell Sierra was great with Bella because she was happy when we picked her up and went right to sleep when we got home.”
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.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.
About: Hi! I’m Mary. I am a stay at home mom of 5 year old twins and a 12 year old shihtzu mix. I became a dog walker 5 days a week in September of 2024 by chance and realized how much I love it. I’ve been around animals my whole life, currently including my 8 chickens! If you’re looking for a dog walker, I walk in all weather. I can also just pop in and hang out for a bit and let them out for a potty, change litter boxes, feed, etc! I am experienced with all types of dogs, cats, and other animals and I hope to meet yours too! Currently booked for weekly walks 12-1pm on Monday Tuesday and Fridays. Only other commitment is school drop off and pickup for my twins, otherwise open! I am open to all types of animal care and have experience with elderly dogs. I have cared for big and small dogs, cats, chickens, fish, etc.
About: Looking for a loving & fun home away from home for your pet? Look no further! With a golden retriever of my own, for the past 7 years I've taken care of my dog along with 10 other dogs from time to time for periods as short as a couple of days to a couple of months. As a college student in DC, my weekends are wide open to take care of your pet! I also provide services in between my classes. Having a large dog for the past 7 years, our house is "dog proof" while also containing all the amenities (big fenced in yard, toys galore, & a furry companion) any pet needs, your pet will also be on vacation!

I will make sure to ask any questions that are relevant to dogsitting at your house to make sure your dog's daily routine isn't disrupted
“I’m anxious to leave my dogs with others, but I could tell upon meeting Monica that they would be ok. She is a very sweet lady who obviously loves dogs and made ours feel at home in her comfortable home and nice fenced-in yard. In every way Monica was awesome! Anyone should feel comfortable leaving their dogs in her care.”
“We appreciate Mindy's flexibility with our dog sitting needs while visiting Buffalo. She was friendly and communicative, too. Our dog seemed happy and relaxed in Mindy's home. Will be using Mindy's services again.”
“We now call Dena, Aunt Dena, because for the short 8 weeks we were in Buffalo for work she and her family became Goose’s family. I can not say enough kind things about her and her family, all around great people and caretakers. I am positive that Goose misses his friends in Buffalo, I know I do, and hope to one day be back to visit. I am so thankful for all the time, commitment, and love she put into Goose.”
“Lauren was amazing. I work long hours & she was always ready to watch Maggie early in the morning until evening. I really appreciated her being so kind to my dog. Maggie loved her!”
About: Loving, cozy home close to the airport. I have taken care of dogs of all kinds from German shepherds to labs to cocker spaniels and pit bulls. My house is pretty close to the Buffalo airport. Great walkable neighborhood. I work part time so I have lots of time to spoil your fur baby! I have a large backyard. I have 2 cats that can easily be separated in my finished basement if your dog doesn’t like cats.
“Rosalyn was exactly what you want in a doggy sitter and went above and beyond to make Marli’s very few experiences away from home exceptional! Marli and their doggy Lilly had a great day together. I would highly recommend Rosalyn to anyone who wants a sitter that makes your doggy feel special and loved. 🐾💚💜”

“Kevin was the primary care giver. He was helping me care for my husky with a wound. Kevin was patient and gentle with my dog. I was unsure how to get her foot soaked for 15 minutes twice a day. I am disabled and the vets office wasn't giving me any good advice. He showed me how to get her into the tub and keep her there for 15 minutes without over stressing her. He was very impressive. He obviously loves animals,and has a talent to calm them.”
“Michelle is absolutely wonderful with Lucille. My 3 year old Bloodhound. I work a few long days every week. On those days Michelle come in for walks with Lucille.she is very dependable and trustworthy. Highly recommend.. I am so happy we found her!”

About: I have owned animals my entire life from cats, lizards to dogs and horses. I worked at a kennel in my high school years taking care of dogs and assisting the owner in grooming. Going on from that I worked in a dog daycare alongside a fear free trainer whilst training my own dog, Lacey who is now 7, doing agility, obedience and other extensive training. Upon graduating I was given the opportunity to train and work alongside a groomer in her own shop, while I did my time with her we also attended groom expo where I took numerous classes including fear free grooming, control and handling, and creative grooming. Due to back issues I stepped away from the grooming scene and into ridding horses. I wonder my own horse for several years, I took a job opportunity with Letchworth Farms caring for both world class eventing horses as well as our trail horses. My time was ended there after a few years due to me becoming a mother to two beautiful kids and from time to time I have worked alongside a local cat shelter assisting in rescues and fostering and also helping foster and rescue dogs from time to time. I also have experience with caring for senior dogs with special needs. I have a very flexible working schedule to be able to accommodate your needs and your dogs at any time! I also am currently enrolled in Animal behavior and Canine training, a knowledgeable care giver is a great one! I am here for all your pet needs! I have one friendly cat who is vaccinated, fixed and is acclimated with dogs extremely well. I have a 7 year old fixed female who is good with other dogs and would rather spend her days lounging and relaxing.

“Tatyjana was phenomenal! She took great care of our 8 month old corgi, Poke, during his walk and was careful to not let our 3 year old indoor cat outside during the process! She is very professional, and made sure to keep us updated from the start of the walk to it’s finish. We will definitely be reaching out to her again in the future.”
“Natalie is great. She let my dog get comfortable with her before taking him for his walk. She was on time and put me at ease as I entrusted my baby to her. I highly recommend her.”

About: Dogs have been a huge part of my whole life growing up! I really enjoy being around them and they make me very happy. I walk my dogs at home all the time so I know how to handle them. Also, I am very patient with dogs whether they are learning to walk or starting to slow their walking down. I am currently in school and have classes in the mornings, but my afternoons are very open. It would not be hard for me to take care of pets in my day, my schedule is pretty open. I live around many other students and by a park, so there are plenty of safe places to walk. Also, there is a dog park very close in walking distance to my house, so that is convenient and nice for the dogs.
About: I’ve loved animals my entire life, I feel that they are very important members of any family. Taking care of animals and making sure they feel healthy and loved is very important to me. I volunteered at a veterinarian hospital for around 6 months, so I have seen pet care from a more professional perspective. I have also pet sat and walked many dogs for friends and family in my personal life. I am currently working part time and have plenty of time to give the best care to your pet. My schedule varies week to week, but i’ll always keep my calendar up to date as well as letting you know my availability in advance! I make sure pets stay in their normal routine as much as possible. I care for the pets as I would my own, and make sure to follow all specifications owners give to me.
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.

“Jesse did a great job with our puppies. I can tell our boys are very happy and excited when they see him. Jesse has a very comfortable place for the dogs to stay and relax while we are gone and he treats them nicely.”
“Kelly was absolutely amazing. We needed a dog sitter in a pinch, last minute. She met our dogs next day, then the day after we dropped them off. One of my girls has major anxiety amd super hyperactive. She took them for walks amd sent us pictures. Couldn't believe they were the same dogs! Highly recommend...”
“Ashley was very nice and helpful with watching our dog Blue while we were on vacation. She made sure Blue was comfortable and happy the entire time, and sent us a lot of great pictures and updates.”
“Chloe had the best time while she was there. I was not worried at all and knew she was in good hands. The daily checkups and pictures reassured me she was having fun!!!”
“Arlo, our weim has stayed with Joan and Tim multiple times now and they are absolutely amazing. Arlo is always so well cared for, happy, and relaxed when we get home. They’re reliable, communicative, and truly love what they do. We trust them completely and feel so lucky to have found them! Highly recommend!”
“We just picked up our pup from her first stay with Monica and it was a success! I appreciated the daily photo and video updates that Monica was so kind to send. Our CareBear acclimated instantly and was treated wonderfully. We will definitely be using her again down the road when we have future road trips. Thank you again Monica for making us feel so comfortable leaving our furry friend with you from the initial meet and greet to the actual stay!”
“I’m so grateful she accepted my dog last minute on the same day. She took amazing care of him and treated him like her own. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such loving, reliable hands. We’ll be back!! Highly recommend!”
“It was so reassuring knowing that Josh & Kelly were taking great care of our pup while we were on vacation. They, along with their children were so caring and loving to Gus. We received pictures and updates every day too. He couldn’t have been in better hands, and we will definitely be contacting them again to watch him.”
“Mickey was great. She made Beasley feel very comfortable and treated him like one of the family. She even bought him a sweater that she let us keep while we were gone because it got very cold out. He not only loved her but he also made a couple new friends at her house. Sunny and Sylvester were great companions for him during his stay. We will definitely be calling Mickey for future travels when Beasley needs a place to stay.”
“Mindy was amazing with my fur baby! She was able to accommodate me very last minute and kept me updated with cute pictures and videos the whole time. My dog can be rather anxious with new people and he settled in super fast with Mindy- 20/10 recommend her for your pet needs!”
“Jacque & Emily were absolutely wonderful with our two dogs. We received a lot of pictures and updates while we were gone. Both seemed happy and well cared for when we arrived to pick them up.”
“My puppy had a fabulous time with Danielle! This was a wonderful first-time experience using Rover. I felt like Danielle really knew how to take care of my dog and was super comfortable leaving her in her care. I appreciated all the pics and updates too. Thank you so much!!!”
“This was the first time we ever used a sitter on Rover and we will definitely be using Michelle again in the future. She made us feel so much better about leaving our pet with a stranger with the constant updates and photos. She’s responsible and loving and treated our Winnie like her own. Highly recommend!!! Michelle we can’t thank you enough!!!”
“Denae & Mark provided a second home for my dog, who emerged from their care happier and healthier than when he started. They stayed in regular contact to ease my mind, and I highly trust their capabilities in caring for canines.”
“What a great experience. We have never used the over night service before but will definitely be doing it again. Jordan and Nathan were wonderful and were so great to our Winnie. I am pretty sure she didn’t want to come home bc she had doggie friends at there house. They will be our only family we use for as long as they let us. Highly recommend. Thanks again.”
