“Thank you very much Joan and Thomas for taking such good care of Oli, I’m sure he enjoyed all the walks and attention that you gave him. We were very happy that we were able to find you so quickly. We appreciate all your care for our Oli-fur 😊 Thanks again, Lorraine and Rich”
“Dana and Jeremy were great! They are so good to my dog and he loves them. He gets excited when we pull in their driveway. I feel relaxed because I know he is in good hands!”
“Erika was wonderful! She was prompt to respond to messages and sent numerous pictures of our dogs during their stay. I appreciated her offer to do a meet and greet because we were able to see the space and get to know her before drop off day. We will definitely use Erika again in the future!!”
“I was driving from Chicago to Upstate New York for a hiking trip (Mammoth March) and was understandably nervous about leaving my dog behind. After reading Chelsea’s reviews, I felt much more at ease and decided to reach out to her—and I’m so glad I did. Chelsea was excellent from start to finish. She understood my concerns and made me feel comfortable leaving my dog in her care. My dog had a great time playing and hanging out with his new furry friends, and Chelsea kept me updated with photos throughout his stay, which really helped put my mind at ease. I highly recommend Chelsea and would absolutely trust her with my dog again!”
“Jenn and Brian were able to watch our dog for 5 days while we were away. We received lots of pictures/updates throughout that time and it was clear that our pup was having a great time and was very happy! Highly recommend!”
“Katie was great with my pup, Mugsy. She kept me updated on how he was doing; she sent pictures, videos and text messages. She always touched base to inquire about extending/pickup as my move-in date was moved a few times. I really appreciated her adapting and accommodating my changing schedule. Thank you Katie for loving my pup when I couldnt be with him.”
“Jin, was very friendly and very communicative. She treated my baby girl like her own. She took my booking at the last minute, I thank her for that. Highly recommended!”
“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”
“We were very happy with Denae and Mark taking care of our dog Daisy. We received pictures and updates every day letting us know how Daisy was doing. Daisy seemed to settle in quickly and was able to relax on the couch and sleep in bed. She was taken on walks. Denae and Mark have a very nice home and really love dogs! Would definitely recommend and we would use them again!”
“Karen was outstanding from our first communication. Our Frenchy thinks she’s royalty and Karen took care of her like a Princess. Meds, food, walks - Karen also shared many Photos and several daily updates of their days together. If you need a reference for Karen, you can contact me anytime - I’ll give her a glowing review.”
“My family and I went on a mini vacation for 3 nights. When I left my two dogs with Monica I felt very comfortable and felt there was no need to worry about anything, well boy was I right! She is fabulous! About 20 min into their stay with her, she messaged me pictures of them Playing and lounging around . She continued to send me pics daily of them showing me how they were, which was very relieving! The very last day one of my dogs was experiencing loose poops (we think it was just from the heat) which she also had messaged me about prior to pick up . My dog has an accident in her house which I felt terrible about but she was so easy going and sweet about it which was really nice , since I felt so bad! I would take my dogs back to her in a heartbeat! They loved their stay with her and we enjoyed our vacation without worrying about our doggies! She is also very reasonable! I would recommend her 100%!”
“I am beyond happy with Kelly. She took such good care of Molly. I received pictures everyday and Molly always looked so happy. Will definitely be using Kelly again to take care of Molly.”
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.
“Sierra was absolutely amazing! It was my first time leaving my dog with someone new for the weekend and my dog adjusted so well and Sierra sent a bunch of pictures and updates! Would definitely book with her in the future”
“our Boxer Rudy had just had a procedure and needed special care and is still being house trained. Mindy was awesome. She sent us pics, video and updates of him as well as gave him his medication. She gave us tips for socializing him and was very patient with him. I can tell he had an amazing time and will definitely let Rudy board with her again.”
“It was the 1st time, and I'm very happy with Leah. When I was dropping off my dog, I knew that my dog would love her. Leah kept giving me updates constantly. I definitely trust Leah with my dog and will rebook with her again.”
“Charlette was great with my dog while I went away for two nights. I was hesitant to leave him with someone because he’s never stayed anywhere other than my house. Charlette assured me that everything would be okay and told my wife and I about other visits she’s had so I knew what to expect. I was given daily pictures and updates about how he was doing and I really comfortable with the amount of care he received. If I need to do a rover visit again I will definitely rebook with Charlette.”
“Alena is so good and patient with my Bella. She always sends me updates as I enjoy seeing pics knowing she’s in good hands, that truly helps me enjoy my vacation without feeling so guilty. She also gave me great tips on how to get Bella to eat more of her dog food by mixing it with the can food. Bella always seems happy & healthy when she returns back home, Thank you Alena for taking such good care of our Fur baby 💕”

About: I have owned and taken care of both dogs and cats most of my life. I am responsible and trustworthy in taking care of your pet. I am retired. I have a very open schedule. I am available for walks and check ins Monday through Friday. I can not board or take care of pets in my home. I would like to work for rover because I love dogs and cats and currently do not have any of my own. I miss the joy of having a pet. I do not have any pets. My husband and I like to travel and feel that we would not be able to spent enough quality time with a pet of our own. I can not board or care for a pet in my home.

“Alyssa swooped in and saved the day a few times when we were out of town for a week. Our little Princess loved her from the start and we felt good knowing she was in such good hands.”

About: I’ve loved dogs since I was wee child. 8 years ago my now husband and I got our first puppy (a pitbull/rat terrier mix) named Dudley and have since grown our four legged family by four! A 3.5 year old Daniff (Great Dane/English mastiff mix) named Aspen and three domestic shorthair kitties, varying in color (an orange included), named Chug, Nova and Wee. Despite the 2 dogs, 3 cats and family I still have time to spare throughout the days; especially during the school year. I’ve been walking dogs for friends and associates for about a year and I’ve really enjoyed the freedom and relations I’ve found along the way. I have experience with dogs of all ages/sizes. From 40lb corgis to 150lb mastiffs, your pup is safe with me and will likely find a new best friend. I would love the opportunity to walk your dog or drop in for a visit/play date! **I do have a 6 year old that comes with me during the summer so I am limited to child friendly dogs during that time. My schedule is almost always open and flexible aside from not being available on weekends. I am currently unavailable on Tues, Thurs and Fri (from 11AM-12PM) for a preexisting client. Because I have 5 pets of my own, I am unable to offer services from my home. With that being said, respect is first and foremost. Your house, your pets, your rules. I always like establishing the blueprint for what my visits will look like. I, of course, am trying to cater to your pet and understand they all have different needs; some are anxious, food/treat motivated, some need lots of exercise. I assure you, no pet is too big or small for me.
About: As stated in my main profile, I have been caring for animals for all my life. We adopted our first cat, Gracie when I was 14 years old (I'm 25 now!) and I have been a cat person ever since! I've been the primary caretaker for our 3, previously 4, cats since adopting our first cat. That gives me 10+ years of learning cat care, hygiene, boundaries, and behaviors. I have an intuition with cats that never fails to surprise me. I can pick up on those little things that some people miss, and I would be ecstatic to utilize those skills to keep your babies happy, safe, and taken care of. I will take care of your babies like they are my own, because I know you love them like I love mine. Every cat (& pet) owner deserves to feel secure and confident with their pet sitter, and I'd be honored to be that person for you! I don't mind messes, litter cleaning, smells, anxious behavior, quirky routines, or anything else you need me to handle when handling the care of your cats. I will love your cats like they are my own, and I will never hesitate to go the extra mile for them, and for you.
“Elisabeth took fantastic care of our cats. She is incredibly knowledgeable about taking care of animals and we could not recommend her enough! Will definitely be booking again in the future.”
“This was Michelle’s first drop-in visit with my pups, and she did a great job! She sent pictures and updates throughout, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. I’ll definitely be using Michelle again for our November vacation, as I feel completely comfortable leaving my pups in her care. I’ve also met her dogs, and you can tell they are truly loved and well cared for. That speaks volumes about the level of care and attention you can expect from Michelle. I highly recommend her!”
“Colleen was great! We contacted her with very short notice to provide a 30 minute visit to our two dogs. She was prompt in her replies and extremely accommodating. We would not hesitate to have her take care of our dogs again.”
“Katherine is the best cat sitter out there! She's extremely patient and amazing with my scaredy cat! She has watched my cat several times already and I request her every time I travel! :)”

Perfect for high energy dogs - East Eden
Prices are estimates per day. Pricing may vary based on your search. A booking fee of 11% and taxes will apply.
About: I’m great with dogs because I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely love being around them. I take the time to understand each dog’s personality, routines, and needs, whether that means high-energy playtime, calm walks, or just quiet companionship. I’m very observant of behavior and body language, so I can quickly tell when a dog is excited, anxious, or needs extra care. I’m reliable with feeding schedules, walks, and any special instructions, and I always prioritize safety and comfort. Most importantly, I treat every dog like my own and I make sure they feel loved, secure, and happy while their owners are away. 🐶❤️ I have 2 dachshunds of my own♥️ I am currently a Teacher, I work from 8-3:45 during the week! I am always home after those times and on the weekends! I am off in the summers and on all school breaks and holidays! I have 2 dachshunds of my own and I spend ALL my time with them when I am home, so I can do the same with your pets! I have a fenced in yard and two fur babies to keep yours company! I can crate them if needed but mine roam the kitchen while I am gone and sleep in bed with me! We are always walking and outside running around!

“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!”
“The Best ! We left Fergie with Crystal 2 different days so we could go sight seeing and couldn't be happier with her level of care. The first day Fergie whined a little when we left; the 2nd day she didn't even notice that we left. She loved being with Crystal & we received lots of pictures of their walks & activites. Don't hesitate to allow Crystal to watch your pup. We'll contact her again the next time we're in the Buffalo area. Thanks Crystal !”

About: I love dogs and I've been caring for dogs for over 5 years. I love walking them and play with them. I believe dogs are human's best friends. They're the best listener when you need to talk to someone :). I would like to take care of your dog while you can't. I will make sure they're being taken good care of. I have a large fenced yard and close to a dog run. I like taking them there when the weather is nice. I will tailor your dog caring style and make sure your best friend feels like he's home. Thanks for your time, and remember to enjoy the rest of your day and you know you can have a peace of mind :)
“Rudy had a wonderful time with Jaddua. He reassured us with many updates, photos, and was a very caring dog sitter. He loved giving Rudy all the attention and love he needed. We will definitely book again in the upcoming future. Thank you!”
“Mary and her family are absolutely AMAZING with our puppy, Scout! 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!! Her sweet dog, Maggie, has taken Scout under her wing and is so good with him. I cannot say enough good things! I feel like we hit the lottery by finding Mary to care for our sweet boy when we are at work. He leaves ever day happy and exhausted!”
“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: Hi there! I'm Caitlin, and for the past 13 years, I have gained extensive education, training, and experience with all types of animals. I have been with Rover since 2014 and have had over 190 clients through the years. As a proud professional, the experience under my belt includes: - Solo management of a small, rural cat shelter - Behavioral and adoption staff at a large urban animal shelter - Dog and cat training - Fear free certification - Management staff for boarding and daycare - Professional bathing/grooming - Exotic animal handling - Bachelor's degree in Animal Behavior Besides my professional experience, I have been a pet owner my whole life - dogs, cats, and exotics included! Right now - I have four beloved cats who I have clicker trained myself! ** Currently, my preferred clients are cats, small dogs, seniors, and more relaxed pets. I am not suited to care for strong, energetic dogs who need extensive exercise. ** In-home boarding and dog daycare are services I vet very extensively and am particular about due to my cats. While I do offer the services, it is always better to choose a house sit/drop in visit with me instead - these I can be much more flexible about. Some other services I provide beyond the basics include: - Wedding pet care and assistance - Pet transportation - Travel pet care and assistance - and more! I am a *CONSTANT CARE SITTER!* That means, I am in your home for the vast majority of the day, due to my day job being completely remote and flexible. While some others may need to step out for a full work day, I commit my time to YOUR pet(s) and YOUR pet(s) only - which sets me apart from other sitters. You may see that my husband, Josh, is also on my profile. He will occasionally help me with some services, but I am the primary sitter. I will always let clients know if he is going to be present for any services. Safety for pets and myself is and always has been my top priority. I am proudly fear free certified and have worked on extensive safety training measures in all of my professional working environments. I know how to use all types of equipment (leashes, collars, harnesses, e-collars, etc) with ease.
“Amanda took wonderful care of my little doggie, Pupper Jax, and she provided attentive service that included transportation of my dog. She provided daily updates with pics. I did not have to worry one bit while she cared for Pupper!”
“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 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 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.
About: I’ve always loved dogs and treat every pup like family, providing safe, reliable care, fun walks, and lots of love while you’re away. I have a 1.5 year old mini goldendoodle who loves new friends and is friendly with other socialized dogs 🐾 I work from home, so your dog will have plenty of company and attention throughout the day. I have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor play and can provide morning, midday, and evening walks, weather permitting, while maintaining your dogs usual routine as closely as possible. Your dog will be welcomed into my home like family, with plenty of love, attention, playtime, and a comfortable place to relax. I’ll follow their usual routine; provide regular potty breaks, walks, meals, fresh water, and lots of cuddles and companionship. I only host one family’s dog at a time, alongside my friendly mini goldendoodle, Cooper, to ensure every pup receives plenty of love, attention, playtime, and personalized care in a calm and safe environment.

I’ve been walking dogs for friends and associates for about a year and I’ve really enjoyed the freedom and relations I’ve found along the way. I have experience with dogs of all ages/sizes. From 40lb corgis to 150lb mastiffs, your pup is safe with me and will likely find a new best friend. I would love the opportunity to walk your dog or drop in for a visit/play date! **I do have a 6 year old that comes with me during the summer so I am limited to child friendly dogs during that time. My schedule is almost always open and flexible aside from not being available on weekends. I am currently unavailable on Tues, Thurs and Fri (from 11AM-12PM) for a preexisting client. Because I have 5 pets of my own, I am unable to offer services from my home. With that being said, respect is first and foremost. Your house, your pets, your rules. I always like establishing the blueprint for what my visits will look like. I, of course, am trying to cater to your pet and understand they all have different needs; some are anxious, food/treat motivated, some need lots of exercise. I assure you, no pet is too big or small for me.
“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 fortunate enough to have had animals most of my life. These have ranged from dogs, rabbits, chickens, horses, cows, and fish. I have volunteered time at a wildlife rehab and also worked a few years at a dog daycare facility that would average about 50 dogs a day. I have a bachelors degree in Animal behavior, ecology and conservation. I have always had a special place in my heart for animals. I currently have 2 rabbits and a dog. I am a substitute teacher so my schedule is rather flexible. It allows me to arrange my week how I need it. My afternoons are usually pretty open. I will ensure that each pet is safe, secure and well taken care of in the comfort of their own home while providing updates to their families.
About: Hi! I’m a dental hygienist with 9 years of clinical experience, bringing that same calm, careful attention to your pets. I read each dog’s energy: some want fetch, some want a slow sniff-walk, and either way you get my full attention. What you can count on: • On-time, every visit • Photo updates so you’re never wondering • A calm presence that puts anxious pets at ease I treat every pet like my own. Looking forward to meeting your fur family! Pet care fits naturally into my routine — I have a dog of my own, so mornings and evenings already center around walks and feeding. I’ve also cared for cats my whole life, so I’m comfortable with both. I have flexibility for drop-ins and walks on weekdays and more availability on weekends. And since my own dog is all 12, I know how to adjust pace and attention for older pets — happy to tailor visits to your senior pet needs. Drop-In Visits: I stick to your pet’s normal routine: feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, and some playtime or cuddles, all in the comfort of their own home. I follow any care instructions you leave (medications, feeding amounts, favorite toys) exactly as written. Dog Walking: I match the pace and route to your dog’s energy and age; brisk exercise for active pups, slower sniff-walks for seniors. I always have waste bags on hand and check in with a photo update after each walk. For both, I treat your home with respect (doors locked, alarm set if needed) and your pet like my own.
About: I have had dogs since I was 7 years old. I currently own two of my own and both are age 2. I help family when they are out of town with the care of their dogs. I currently work part time flexible hours! I can start around 9am until late night. I can do long weekend care as well. Flexibility open I do have two dogs with a fenced in yard. My dogs love to run and play with new dogs, if you need day boarding.
About: I was previously a veterinary assistant. Additionally, I was an Animal Cruelty Investigator for 4 years. I have extensive experience with animals and animal care. I am currently working at a veterinary clinic mostly everyday, but am looking to spend extra time with your dogs and cats on my off time! I have two small dogs at my home that love to play with other dogs. I personally also will play with your dogs and cats and pay lots of attention to them!
About: Hi! I’m an educator with a lifelong love for animals and a passion for providing them with the same patience, care, and attention I bring to my work with children. I’m also an active dog foster, which has given me hands-on experience caring for dogs with a wide range of personalities, backgrounds, and needs. Fostering has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and helping animals feel safe and comfortable in a new environment. I know how important it is to have someone you can truly trust with your pets. I’m dependable, responsible, and attentive to each animal’s individual personality and routine. Whether your pet loves long walks and playtime, prefers lots of cuddles, or just needs a calm and reassuring presence, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at. I’m comfortable caring for both dogs and cats and understand that every pet has their own needs, quirks, and comfort level. I’ll follow your instructions closely and make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I also know how reassuring updates can be, so you can expect plenty of photos and check-ins during our time together! 🐶🐱💛 I’d love the opportunity to get to know you and your pets!
“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!”
About: I have 2 dogs of my own who are spoiled rotten. I adore pets of all kinds, I even have a ferret and bearded dragon myself. I do work full time, but I know how hard it is finding a quality person to watch your babies. I have a flexible job so I can make any schedule fit! I also have a 16 year old child who loves dogs as well, so if your fur baby does well with children and you want them to have a little socialization that way I am willing to bring my child. I know how much dogs miss their humans when they are gone, so I will do my best to make them as loved and comfortable as possible I do work full time, but I have a very flexible schedule. I can accommodate almost all schedules will my work schedule. I look forward to loving your fur babies. I would prefer to care for pets in their home. I think this makes pets more comfortable being in their own space that they know.

“Thank you very much Joan and Thomas for taking such good care of Oli, I’m sure he enjoyed all the walks and attention that you gave him. We were very happy that we were able to find you so quickly. We appreciate all your care for our Oli-fur 😊 Thanks again, Lorraine and Rich”
“Dana and Jeremy were great! They are so good to my dog and he loves them. He gets excited when we pull in their driveway. I feel relaxed because I know he is in good hands!”
“I was driving from Chicago to Upstate New York for a hiking trip (Mammoth March) and was understandably nervous about leaving my dog behind. After reading Chelsea’s reviews, I felt much more at ease and decided to reach out to her—and I’m so glad I did. Chelsea was excellent from start to finish. She understood my concerns and made me feel comfortable leaving my dog in her care. My dog had a great time playing and hanging out with his new furry friends, and Chelsea kept me updated with photos throughout his stay, which really helped put my mind at ease. I highly recommend Chelsea and would absolutely trust her with my dog again!”
“Jenn and Brian were able to watch our dog for 5 days while we were away. We received lots of pictures/updates throughout that time and it was clear that our pup was having a great time and was very happy! Highly recommend!”
“Jin, was very friendly and very communicative. She treated my baby girl like her own. She took my booking at the last minute, I thank her for that. Highly recommended!”
“We were very happy with Denae and Mark taking care of our dog Daisy. We received pictures and updates every day letting us know how Daisy was doing. Daisy seemed to settle in quickly and was able to relax on the couch and sleep in bed. She was taken on walks. Denae and Mark have a very nice home and really love dogs! Would definitely recommend and we would use them again!”
“Karen was outstanding from our first communication. Our Frenchy thinks she’s royalty and Karen took care of her like a Princess. Meds, food, walks - Karen also shared many Photos and several daily updates of their days together. If you need a reference for Karen, you can contact me anytime - I’ll give her a glowing review.”
“My family and I went on a mini vacation for 3 nights. When I left my two dogs with Monica I felt very comfortable and felt there was no need to worry about anything, well boy was I right! She is fabulous! About 20 min into their stay with her, she messaged me pictures of them Playing and lounging around . She continued to send me pics daily of them showing me how they were, which was very relieving! The very last day one of my dogs was experiencing loose poops (we think it was just from the heat) which she also had messaged me about prior to pick up . My dog has an accident in her house which I felt terrible about but she was so easy going and sweet about it which was really nice , since I felt so bad! I would take my dogs back to her in a heartbeat! They loved their stay with her and we enjoyed our vacation without worrying about our doggies! She is also very reasonable! I would recommend her 100%!”
“I am beyond happy with Kelly. She took such good care of Molly. I received pictures everyday and Molly always looked so happy. Will definitely be using Kelly again to take care of Molly.”
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.
“Sierra was absolutely amazing! It was my first time leaving my dog with someone new for the weekend and my dog adjusted so well and Sierra sent a bunch of pictures and updates! Would definitely book with her in the future”
“our Boxer Rudy had just had a procedure and needed special care and is still being house trained. Mindy was awesome. She sent us pics, video and updates of him as well as gave him his medication. She gave us tips for socializing him and was very patient with him. I can tell he had an amazing time and will definitely let Rudy board with her again.”
“It was the 1st time, and I'm very happy with Leah. When I was dropping off my dog, I knew that my dog would love her. Leah kept giving me updates constantly. I definitely trust Leah with my dog and will rebook with her again.”
“Charlette was great with my dog while I went away for two nights. I was hesitant to leave him with someone because he’s never stayed anywhere other than my house. Charlette assured me that everything would be okay and told my wife and I about other visits she’s had so I knew what to expect. I was given daily pictures and updates about how he was doing and I really comfortable with the amount of care he received. If I need to do a rover visit again I will definitely rebook with Charlette.”
“Alena is so good and patient with my Bella. She always sends me updates as I enjoy seeing pics knowing she’s in good hands, that truly helps me enjoy my vacation without feeling so guilty. She also gave me great tips on how to get Bella to eat more of her dog food by mixing it with the can food. Bella always seems happy & healthy when she returns back home, Thank you Alena for taking such good care of our Fur baby 💕”
“Anthony and Nate did a wonderful job with our Holly. I got photo/text updates on how she was doing. We would definitely book again. If you are thinking about booking with Anthony, you definitely should.”
“Our usual dog sitter canceled and I was able to secure Michele that same day.. She met us with a warm welcome and a smile that reflected her love for animals. She also was adaptable to our needs and willing to adjust the times. We would definitely ask for her again. As an added bonus, a fenced in yard!”
“Valerie was a terrific sitter for Gemma and Gemma took to her right away :) Valerie loves dogs so much and it shows. We look forward to visiting with Valerie again and I highly recommend a stay with her.”
