“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 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.”
“Dana kept me updated daily with pictures and what they did for the day. Bella really enjoyed herself. She usually doesn't eat when we are away but she felt comfortable in their home. I am so grateful to have found them! I will definitely be using them for future trip knowing that my baby will be taken care of and loved like it was me. Thank you guys for everything!!”
“We were very pleased with Joan and Timothy. They sent a picture or video each day that our dog Daisy was with them. She was taken on many walks and they enjoyed time together like hanging out in the garage watching the outside. We would definitely use them again in the future.”
“It was pretty daunting leaving my dogs with someone I had never met. My Boxer has separation anxiety so bad she got severe colitis last time I had to travel, so I knew a kennel setting would not be good for her. Getting pictures of the dogs completely relaxed and comfortable put my fears at rest almost immediately! Katie took excellent care of the dogs and took care on my worries as well! I would recommend her without hesitation :)”
“I am so excited that I found someone who will luv and take care of my fur babies like I would. This was the first time I left my babies with a sitter. Katie assured me they would be ok and for me to go enjoy myself on my little getaway! I am happy that I did! I luv how Katie made communication during their stay. I could see that my fur babies were well taken care of and was enjoying their stay. The walks, playtime, and other activities. Thank you Katie! You Rock!!!!!”
“Logan did a great job taking care of our dog for an overnight. Very responsive to questions, sends pictures, and is not overwhelmed/anxious/bothered by behaviors by my dog that make me anxious!! I will definitely use him again. Thanks Logan!!”
“Megan kept me updated on how my dogs were doing and worked very well with my schedule! Was willing to be up early in the morning and dropped the dogs off at my place late with no problem. The dogs came back happy and exhausted showing they had a fun time. I'd definitely book with her again.”
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.
“Rizzo had a better vacation than we did staying with Lindsey! She had so much fun playing at the farm running around with Genny and getting lots of exercise! Lindsey provided daily updates with photo’s throughout the week showing how much fun they were having. Rizzo can’t wait for her next vacation with Lindsey and her family!”
About: Hi, I'm Sam and I've had dogs in my life since childhood. I have two rescues that I adopted at ten weeks. They both have big, incredibly different personalities that have given me plenty of experience, especially after my son was born in 2019. I have always loved animals, and decided to use Rover after a friend was out of town and had a client she asked me to assist. She raved about pet sitting and I really enjoyed it. I love meeting new pets & people, & look forward to helping you have stress free time away wether that’s for an overnight vacation, or drop ins or walks to give you peace of mind when you can’t be with them. I treat all of my animal clients as if they were my own, and am highly accommodating to pet parents. If you have any questions or concerns, please ask! I am willing to work with your situation as best I can 😊 I currently have very flexible availability and can be with your pet as much or as little as you need! I have care arrangements for my pets & son, so it can just be me and your pup! I am happy to follow whatever routine you currently do to keep the disruptions to your pet minimal including crating, walks, or any requests you may have.
“Alyssa did an amazing job watching our 2 doodles. They were in great care, and they loved being there for the night. She was super responsive and was willing to watch them on short notice. Totally recommend her!”
“We were thrilled with the care my new puppies received. We received photos every day and looked forward to seeing how they were doing . I found that the dogs were given a lot of one on one time and socializing. We will definitely book again and nice to know so close to us. This was our first time using rover . Thankyou to both of you for providing such great care.”
“Jenn took care of my 9 yr. old chihuahua Saturday-Sunday. We did a meet and greet at Jenn’s house the Wednesday before. I liked her right away and I could tell she loves animals. This is the first time leaving my pup overnight at someone else’s house. Jenn did an awesome job of taking care of Mia! She also sent me updates of photos and texts. I will definitely be using her again. I highly recommend her!”
“Jackie has watched our cockapoo twice now for week long stays. We are very happy with her services and will likely use her again as needed. Our dog came home happy and healthy. Thank you Jackie.”
“My family had a critical medical emergency two days before a long-awaited college reunion, so no one could watch my beloved 12-year old Shih Tzu, Brady, at the last moment. I was desperate to find a sitter for my little dog and decided to try Rover.com, and Katy said she was available. Best decision I have made in years. Katy was loving and so conscientious that I never worried for the entire four days. Her house was lovely, and she cared for Brady like her own much-loved family pet. I cannot express the joy and relief this incredibly kind woman gave me during our trip to West Point. I highly recommend Rover.com and Katy.”
“Our little guy, Chase, stayed with Rachel for a week. Chase was so well taken care of & when we went to get him, I think he thought he’d been adopted by Rachel! He loved it at her house! We will definitely be using Rachel again to dog sit Chase. She is a dog lover & we have every confidence in using her to care for Chase again. Thank you Rachel.”

“Tracy is the best! She is reliable, responsive and easy to work with. My foster dog was having a lot of trouble with barrier frustration which scared others off but she worked with him to make it work and ended up turning his whole experience around on days I had to go into the office.”
“Barb is awesome. She took great care of our cat, Frankie. It is such a good feeling to be able to relax and enjoy your time away while someone is caring for your fur baby just like you would. I will definitely have Barb again for our next time away.”
About: Hello I'm new to the area. Just recently relocated from New York. I've always have had a love for animals and just have always wanted to show the love to other pets as well. I believe all animals big or small deserve the best care possible. Whether its just for the day or while you enjoy some much needed free time on vacation I'm here for your pets needs. I currently just relocated from upstate New York and looking to make new clients. I am working towards being self employed. But currently employed full time and try my best to fulfill everybody's schedule. I care for pets how I would want anybody caring for my own pets. I prefer a detailed list of the pets normal routine and I follow that. When it is comes to giving love and attention to your pets I have you covered. Leash and proper outside produces are important to follow while walking. I would be providing services at the pets home in a familiar and friendly environment.
“Jessica was amazing! I was a nervous wreck leaving my babies for the first time but Jessica made sure they got their medicine daily, gave them pets and took care of them. I got daily pictures of my kitties and she even included the resident neighborhood cat that visits every day too! Would definitely recommend!”
“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!”

About: Hi! I have always loved animals, and have grown up with dogs and cats all my life! I moved to Collins in 2024 to a property with 30 acres of mostly wooded land with a dog kennel, cat house and barn! The property has a huge area for dogs to run and play. We are working on repairing a huge fenced in area right now, so we would walk around the property on a leash always. I have woods and trails on my property that I love to take walks through. Your pet and I will have so much fun together, I like to be very active and really enjoy hiking and playing with my dog. My playful dog would also love a friend to play with! I am starting a career in pet grooming in about a month, and I would love to gain experience working with animals professionally. I am very interested in learning about dog behavior and training. I have one dog, a 1.5 year old German Shepherd mix, two cats, and two goats. I've had senior dogs in my family before so I have experience with dogs of all ages! I would love the chance to take care of your animal for you and to take care of anything and everything that they would need to feel comfortable, safe and loved. I understand that patience is key when taking care of an animal! I have open availability until Aug 10. After that I will adjust my availability and I should have week nights, Sat night and Sun available. I will take care of your home, make sure I follow your directions, follow any rules in your household, and have utmost respect of your home. If boarding at my home, I will make sure your pet gets plenty of one-on-one time walking, hiking, playing, training and cuddling. I will give your pet the time, patience and love that they deserve!
“Nina took great care of our two senior kitties while we were traveling abroad; she even went to the post office to pick up the pet meds that didn’t arrive on time prior to our departure. We returned home to two relaxed, happy cats. Your pets will be well looked after!”
“Elizabeth was right on time and performed all chores etc., we asked of her wonderfully. She sent us picts of Rocky (our cat) on a daily basis. We found our home in the same shape (or better) than we left it.”
“Second time having Natalie come and check on my cat while I was out of town. Natalie did an amazing job taking care of my cat and giving her the medications that she needs. Her attention to detail and caring attitude make going on a trip worry free.”

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.

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.
About: I have had dogs all my life and spent over 20 years as a Pet Groomer both in a shop and mobile. I have had continued education in cat grooming, dog grooming, skin care, etc. I specialized in senior and anxiety dogs. I have had upward of 9 dogs at one time and they did not all get along. I have also owned a diabetic dog. I also have a Reiki background. Currently I am retired from pet grooming and I own another business that is seasonal therefore my schedule is pretty flexible and my availability is pretty open too. I have a small fenced yard in a low traffic community that is good for walks too. I am familiar with crate training and can accommodate that if needed. I also have gates if access needs to be limited to parts of my house. Example, I do have stairs and can block them if pet is unable to do stairs.
“Amanda is great with my dog. He can be a handful sometimes but he is in excellent hands with Amanda and David. With my crazy and unpredictable schedule as a health care professional, I appreciate that she is flexible when I need to change pick up and drop off times”
“Would definitely leave Rex with Alyssa again. She worked with our schedule ( even as she was packing for a family trip the next day). When we arrived to pick Rex up, he was outside with Alyssa- looked very happy to be “helping” !”
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!
“We are passing through this part of NY, visiting friends. We needed someone to care for Aubie while we were out for the day. Nina answered my request quickly and provided excellent communication throughout. When we met to drop off Aubie, we knew we were at the right place. Nina has a welcoming place for dog care and a calm presence. At 15+ years, Aubie can be a little anxious with changes; here, she settled right in. When we returned to retrieve Aubie, she was soundly sleeping, cuddled in a blanket. Nina, you are the perfect person to care for Aubie. Thank you for the photos and great care.”

She communicates and sends me pictures throughout the day and after only one day of daycare, the next time he saw her he was SO excited!!

About: I've grew up with dogs and cats my entire life and I had so much fun with it! I was 10 years old when I began taking care of dogs, cats, ferrets and other small animals. I have done what I needed to give them a happy, long life. My sister gave me the responsibility of watching her dog while she was away and I couldn't be more happier! Her dog, Morgan, and I got along well, I made sure he was fed and watered and walked every night. I also have experience with care for chickens, snakes, rats, and my ferret, Marvel! I have so much time to devote to your dogs happiness and well-being! Caring for your beloved pets is my passion and I would love to do it anytime you need a helping hand. I'm attentive to dog behavior, aware of my surroundings, and I know how to handle most situations during dog walks. I used to work with my sister's dog, a Norwegian Elkhound mix, and he has improved in many ways.
About: I have walked and interacted with various sizes and types of dogs and puppies. I have worked with pure bred dogs, stray dogs, and multi breed dogs.

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!”
“Heidi was really excellent! Unfortunately, I haven't met her yet, but she followed my (rather complicated) instructions for my senior dogs perfectly. Her photos were great, and I could tell from our correspondence and her pics how happy my pups were to have her come take care of them! I look forward to booking her in the future if needed!”
“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 loved and cared for animals my entire life. Many of the animals I have cared for have had special health-care needs which has given me a deep understanding of how important pets are to a family. I have managed special health-care needs such as caring for a diabetic cat (Cupcake), a cat with FIV (Sylvester), a cat with kidney issues (Socks), and a senior German-Shepherd dog with dementia (Charlie). Because of this, I am incredibly comfortable with complex care routines. I have also regularly provided reliable drop-in vacation visits for friends and family. I am currently working full time within the Village of Angola, but I have time in the afternoons as well as my lunch break to do drop ins and visits. The majority of my availability during the week will be in the afternoon. I do have most weekends available as well. When caring for pets in a client’s home, safety and routine are my top priorities. I strictly follow all feeding, medication, and exercise instructions to keep your pet's schedule consistent. I also document when I complete a task as well as photo proof as requested. I make sure doors and gates are fully secured during drop-ins, provide fresh water, and always double check the house before leaving. You can expect regular text updates and photos so you know your pet and your home are in safe hands.
About: I have a lot of experience with all kinds of animals, from dogs to hamsters to creased geckos. My dog cookie is one of the most kind, loving animals, along with my hedgehogs. I’ve been told that my animals are very well taken care of and I pride my self on that. I promise to care for your animals the same way I care for mine. One of my goals in life is to pet as many dogs as I can throughout my life, gotta live your best life you know? Throughout my 9 years of caring for my dog the only health problem she’s ever had was to fatty tumors and I caught them fast so it wasn’t a big deal because we got them remove. And I know how to cut nails and groom so that’s a bonus. My schedule revolves around my dog and others. We train everyday and go on many adventures. Whatever to make my dog happy or anybody else’s. I love it I care for pets as they are my own, very safe and very cautious. Feed them when they need to be feed, I can do medicine if needed, if they’re on a special diet I can do that. If sick around me I will inform you and try my best to make the dog better, I treat them like family
“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: I’ve taken care of my own animals, dogs and cats, for 10 years. I’ve also taken care of animals for family and friends.

“I had a great experience with Alissandria! They were so kind, communicative, and incredibly flexible with my schedule, which I really appreciated. My dog seemed happy, relaxed, and well cared for when I got back. I’ll definitely be booking again. Highly recommend!”
“Love this young lady. She was great with our dog Cooper. She sent updates and photos to help but our mind at ease. Treated our dog like her own. I would recommend Allissa very much.”
“Our dog had a great time with Denise and her daughter! Denise communicated with us all along the way and sent picture updates. Our dog returned to us after a week with Denise very happy!”
About: I’ve been around dogs and cats my entire life, so caring for animals has always come naturally to me. Over the years, I’ve cared for pets with different personalities, energy levels, routines, and needs, and I understand how important it is to make them feel comfortable when their people are away. I’m patient, attentive, dependable, and genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet individually. Whether they need walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, or just someone to keep them company, I’ll treat them with the same care and attention I give my own pets. My schedule is currently very flexible, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I’m available throughout the week and can accommodate a variety of schedules and routines. Whether your pet needs companionship, playtime, walks, feeding, or just someone nearby to make them feel comfortable, I’m happy to work around their normal routine. I understand that every pet is different, and I believe their care should reflect that. I take the time to learn each pet’s normal routine, personality, boundaries, feeding schedule, and individual needs. I will always respect the instructions and preferences you provide and prioritize your pet’s safety and comfort. My goal is to make their time with me feel as familiar, comfortable, and stress free as possible.
