“My dog had a great time with Kelly. She shared the photo updates in a timely manner and treated my baby as her own family. I wouldn't hesitate to let her take care of my dog again!”
“Spencer was fantastic. He was communicative, professional, and sent regular updates and photos, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our dog was comfortable and well cared for. He was attentive and picked up on little personality details, making the experience even better. We came home to a happy, relaxed dog. Highly recommend Spencer and would absolutely book with him again.”
“Jennifer was super flexible, provided daily updates with pictures, and I’m not sure Jandy wanted to come home! She went on daily walks and had a great time- highly recommended and I would absolutely use again! Thanks so much for everything!”
“Bryan was a great pet sitter. He was very prompt on getting back to me about how my dog was doing while me and my family were out of town. He also sent me plenty of pictures of my puppy. I would definitely recommend him caring for your pet. Thank you again so much. ☺️”
“Callie and Chloe stayed with Amanda for 3 nights while we visited the beautiful sights in Watkins Glen. I especially liked that she actually has a connection to a local vet. The pups seemed very happy and well cared for. She is very pleasant and was cooperative with some changing times.”
“Lauren was great. Our pups can be a handful and she was wonderful. They came back happy and well cared for. She was a great communicator and everything went smoothly from booking to drop off to pick up.”
“Tara took good care of my dog. She stayed in touch with me while I was away letting me know everything is going well She also sent me a picture showing me how she is setting in. Tara is very responsive to my texts. I love that. I will definitely use her services again.”
“Adalia took great care of our very timid and scared dog. She was patient and gave Lily the room she needed to slowly warm up to her surroundings. Communication was great and we felt very comfortable leaving our dog with her. Would definitely rebook.”
“Our Arlo loved spending Christmas with Auntie Amanda and her family! Amanda provided a perfect home away from home experience for our boy. At her house he had other doggy friends to play with, lots of toys, cuddles, and exercise. She even took excellent care of him with his medication and feeding schedule. Thank you so much Amanda!”
“Angi was awesome with our pup! Her and her husband went above and beyond to provide the best care for our pup, who is usually anxious in new settings. Angi communicated great and sent lots of pictures and updates. Our pup is a border collie and they provided her with lots of good quality exercise. We will definitely use Angi for petcare again in the future! Thank you!!”
“If you need someone to watch your pup, we highly recommend Jessica and Matthew. We received regular pictures and chat back and forth to let us know how Daisy was doing. She had a great time with her stay. She made some friends and was almost sad to leave them haha. Super friendly and great communication. We will definitely have them watch Daisy again!”
“First time using Rover.com and Elisheba made for a great first impression! My dog was very happy and well cared for. She sent me several pictures to keep me in the loop on their activities. I definitely recommend Elisheba for your pet walking/boarding needs! ?”
“These three are educated and thoughtful enough to make pet owners who are nervous, apprehensive, and even sad about leaving their fur babies feel comfortable. This dynamic is really special for pups, more like a social outing. We received pictures of our pup enjoying light training, playing with new puppy friends, and relaxing in complete comfort. My husband and I were sad dropping her off for the weekend and ended up being able to complete enjoy our weekend getaway because of Aaron, Kaylee, and Valerie.”
“Andrea took great care of my lil pup on her first overnights without me. She was communicative, has a fenced in yard, a great dog walking neighborhood and I would love to have Rox stay with her for future trips.”
“Caitlin and her family watched our two miniature poodles for 8 days. She consistently sent us pictures of them so we could see how they were doing. When we picked up the dogs, they were not excited to leave. Her children were adorable and really bonded with our dogs. I will definitely be using her again.”
About: For any and all services I provide I will be seeking guidance from the pet owner for preferred handling as people treat their pets differently (allowed on furniture, leash vs off leash, feeding times, etc.) Most of my pet sitting experience has been at their home and i have cared for up to four dogs and two cats (plus chickens and fish). I have also babysat for a cat and a few different dogs at my place. I enjoy an active lifestyle and live near state lands so lots of hiking is usually on the agenda (for dogs anyway). I recently put down my aging cat and have found life is lonely without him, but I am not ready to replace him just yet. Rover seems like a great way to get my fix and earn some extra money along the way. I work full time Monday through Friday and have hour long lunch breaks if midday breaks are needed for your pets. Weekends are for serious play! I live on a low traffic road near a state forest. Access to trails from my back door and a large (unfenced) yard to roam. When staying in someone’s home I treat it like my own with care.
“Amelia was great. She took fantastic care of our cat and dog and was extremely flexible. We would definitely recommend her care and we look forward to booking with her again!”
“Beth watched our dog for over a week. She took excellent care of him and was extremely professional to work with. She had clean, comfortable amenities and was very conscientious about his needs. I would recommend her services to anyone looking for a sitter.”

“Kayla is so awesome. Not only did she come to our rescue at the last minute, but she sent us pictures of our kitty. Really appreciate her coming to the rescue with less than 24 hours notice to do a quick drop by to feed our cat. Would highly recommend Kayla!”
“Valkyrie enjoyed her time, Mika didn't have to take the garbage of cat litter out to the trashcan and she went above and beyond. Will be using her again when I go out of town for long times!!”
“Gretchen was great with my girls! She was on time for her drop-ins and stayed to play with them the whole time. She did a meeting with me to meet the girls before she came to watch them which was great! She strove to understand what I needed from her and what the girls needed with their behavioral issues! Very professional and kind!”
“Cassandra did an amazing job taking care of my 3 cats. She was very quick to respond if i had any question or concerns and showed real genuine care for my animals. She was my first sitter on Rover so i was kind of nervous about the whole process but she really made everything very easy and i was able to focus on my vacation and what i needed to get done.”
About: I’ve pet sat for family members but I’ve also and still currently pet sit for previous teachers. I’ve done an internship at a vet clinic. I completed boces which made me a certified veterinary assistant. I worked at the SPCA while finishing up college. Volunteered at Tanglewood Nature Center. Depending on my work schedule I spend as much time as possible outside of work with your pets. I don’t leave them alone for long at all. I’m easy going, my dog gets crated when I’m not home. I will make sure nothing is sitting out that could potentially harm an animal
“Staci took very good care of my two cats. We had her do two visits a day and she was very prompt and you could almost set your watch by her. She followed the feed and care instructions to the letter and even went above and beyond to make sure Oliver, who has CKD, was comfortable. I would recommend Staci if you're looking for a good reliable pet sitter.”
About: I have always gone to great lengths to ensure that my cats have the best life possible. From cleaning their litter boxes twice a day, to making sure they are receiving healthy stimulation throughout the day. I plan to do the same with any feline friend that I am fortunate enough to spend time with.
About: With over 20 years of personal experience caring for my own cat, I understand just how important it is to have someone dependable and attentive looking after your feline family member. Cats thrive on routine, patience, and gentle care — and that’s exactly what I provide. I offer reliable drop-in visits that include feeding, refreshing water, scooping and cleaning litter boxes, and giving your cat the attention they’re comfortable with — whether that’s playtime, quiet companionship, or simply respectful space. I’m attentive to details and happy to follow specific instructions to keep your cat’s routine consistent and stress-free. You can expect timely visits, clear communication, and updates so you feel confident your cat is safe and well cared for while you’re away. I treat every cat with the same kindness and respect I gave my own for 20 wonderful years.
About: I grew up on a farm and have been around all sorts of animals. I have experience with all types of dogs, from Great Danes to Chihuahuas. Neighbors, friends, and family have previously relied on me to house sit and care for their pet(s) while they’re away. I’m currently working part time, so I have lots of free time to care for your pet(s). Even on days I work, I can do potty breaks before and after. I rely on what the client tells/gives me. I like to keep animals in their own home so they can feel comfortable and not anxious with another person and at another home. It’s good to keep one of those neutral.

“If there was >5 stars, this would be a time to use it! From the very beginning Janet was an absolute sweetheart, meeting me on the porch to grab my little guy, asking pertinent questions to be sure she was doing the best for him and even putting up low wires in her house to keep him from chewing them (puppy) Dash took to her immediately, tail wagging and kisses like she was an old friend of his, since dogs are a good judge of character, I just knew this was going to be a great day for him. From picture updates, to her summarizing their daily activities for me, I was totally at ease and had a happy heart with my decision to reach out to Janet to keep Dash for the day. She is simply the best!”
“Amanda was great! Winter was crazy and happy as usual when I picked her up from daycare with Amanda so it looked like she had a good time there and was a tired girl on the way home.”
About: I've loved caring for pets for family and friends over the years. Moved away from home so looking to keep that same experience around here. I'm generally off on Sundays and Mondays for work, and live close enough for potty breaks and I make my own schedule if enough notice is given. I have a fenced in yard which has been home to dogs the size of a Great Pyrenees down to a Yorkshire Terrier before. The home is large enough for multiple pets to have their space.
“We can’t say enough great things about our doggy daycare experience! From day one, the communication has been incredible, we receive tons of pictures and thoughtful updates that truly give us peace of mind. It’s clear how much care and attention goes into every day. Spencer has also been so flexible and accommodating with our schedules when things come up, which we really appreciate. Most importantly, Xena absolutely loves going there! She gets so excited and comes home happy and tired every time. The socialization she’s getting has been amazing, especially as a puppy. It’s been such great preparation for her development and confidence. We’re so grateful to have found someone we trust completely with our girl!”
About: I'm a dog mom of two. I love dogs and go out of my way to care for them, spoil them, and make them feel loved. I am capable of watching other pets outside of the norm. I have experience with fish, reptiles, guinea pigs, bunnies, etc. Just send me a message and we can discuss! I work full time on a hybrid schedule. When I'm not at work I enjoy spending time with dogs. I have open availability to allow dogs in my home or to drop in to your home. I'm excited to meet some new furry friends! The pet that comes into my home has free rein. I ensure to treat them as my own, giving them snuggles, treats, and daily walks. If you prefer drop ins, I am also available to do so. Just let me know your dogs schedule and what works for you!
About: I've always had dogs & cats growing up. Recently, my husband & I rescued a puppy from North Carolina, named Mack. He is the light of our life. I love to be around dogs, and want to ensure they get the best care, whether that be walking or playing ball/fetch, or just snuggles. My goal of Rover is to be the home away from home for your fur babies. I want to ensure that you know/are reassured your fur babies are well loved, cared for, and looked after. I want to ensure that we form relationships, so that you have peace of mind I currently work full time about 20 minutes from my home, which allows me a greater radius to care for your loved one. I work M-F 8am-4pm (roughly), so I am available for any after work or weekend assistance. I have a fully fenced in yard for my dog to play in. We play ball multiple times throughout the day. He is up to date on his vaccines, and we ensure that he receives any care he might need. I am trained to notice any significant behaviors or concerns, and will address this ASAP.
“Angi and her husband took great care of Lexi. They were able to accommodate me just a few hrs before I neede their daycare service, communicated to me very quickly and politely. I definitely recommend them and if I return to the area I’ll be rescheduling with them.”
“Jess & Matt are conveniently located, really love dogs, and did a great job caring for my little guy. I will continue using them on a regular basis to doggy sit. Highly recommend!”
About: I actively foster dogs/puppies on a consistent basis for several years. I've worked with the same Animal Rescue for a long period of time and have experience with many different situations. With the Rescue I regularly handle different scenarios and medical needs, from new born pups to seniors! I'm comfortable with all shapes, sizes, and medical history. Most temperaments I have lots of experience with as well. I work from home full-time. I'm home all day every day Monday-Friday. My weekends only consist of a few errands making me gone for no longer than 4-5 hours at a time. I have a 7ft tall, fully fenced, back yard. I can kennel a dog if needed, but generally they would be out hanging with me. No dog will be left unattended, inside or outside, for long periods of time. I have two adult dogs in the home that can be introduced or remain separate if needed. I also have a 6yr old in the home that loves and is respectful of all animals.
About: Experienced in overnight and back-and-forth pet sitting. Can care for puppies to seniors at any hour of the day and night. I am not grossed out by any mess your pet may make and will keep the space clean. Normally work 7-noon 3 days a week. My job is very flexible and could change to suite you and your pets needs! I am very quick with responding if you would need me last minute. My pets that I've had in my home get fed at the same time every day. They are also allowed to go out when they want and get their paws cleaned when they come in. Water is always available to them. You can expect me to do the same with your animals unless told other instructions.
“I cannot overstate what a lifesaver Jennifer was on our vacation. We had an air BNB that allowed dogs, but not unattended and were visiting friends with a cat who turned out to be dog phobic. We booked Jennifer the day before we left and she was so welcoming and flexible with pick up and drop off times and with her extensive kennel hours. My dog loved her own special vacation; with puppy playtime and hiking in the woods. She came home relaxed and super tired! The true marker of her own good review, was how happy she was to go back the next day! Thanks, Jennifer :)”
“My dog had a fabulous time at daycare with Mikia, her daughter and her dog Zara. I received some great photos (including some funny ones of the dogs wrestling) and felt comfortable knowing the dog was having a good time, socializing and burning off her adolescent energy while I was at work. Highly recommend!”
“Jessica and her family did a great job with Max. She took time to introduce Max to her dogs and get him comfortable with them. Max was happy and healthy each day when I came to pick him up. Her young son liked taking care of Max too. I’m grateful for the care they gave Max”
About: Aside from my own pets over the years, I’ve also provided care and comfort to pets of family and friends. Whether in my home or yours, I will treat your pets as if they were my own. I know how hard it is to find a safe place for our fur babies when we have to travel. Our pittie mutt, Hank, can’t wait to meet your pups! I recently retired after 36 years of teaching and have lots of free time to care for your fur babies. We have a large fenced in deck (and pool for our swimmers). Our 12 acres are not fenced but are cleared for easy walks, on or off lead as desired. Our home sits well off the main road. We’re not opposed to taking pups for rides in our side by side. House trained dogs have freedom in our home. We’re suckers who allow pets on furniture and provide all the love and cuddles needed to make them comfortable. We have plenty of room for crates if your pup is more comfortable in one. In your home, I will follow your house rules. Depending on location, I can come and visit or stay overnight. I can bring mail and packages in for you and take care of your plants. 🪴
“Thank you so much to Shanea and family for caring for our Boy during a busy trip, and being so lovely and patient with a rapidly changing schedule. We would definitely book Shanea again anytime we are in town!”
About: Hi, I’m Katie, and I’ve been taking care of dogs my whole life. My family has 6 dogs total, from a Chihuahua to Pit Bulls, so I’m quite familiar with taking care of different sizes, ages, and breeds. I also have experience taking care of senior dogs with special needs, as I used to own a blind and deaf dog. I’m happy to pet sit overnight or just take your dog on a walk! I’m definitely a homebody, so your pet can have my undivided attention. It would genuinely make me so happy to take care of your dog, please feel free to reach out! I’m currently working part-time and taking classes remotely, so I’m almost always home. My work days are on the weekends, but on weekdays I am completely free! While I work weekends, I work close enough to home to be able to check-in during my breaks. I do not have any pets at home, so any pets can expect my undivided attention. I do not have a yard, but I am happy to take dogs for long walks around campus!
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! I enjoy walking in the morning and evening, and if your pup enjoys that they can tag along! The animals will be taken care of just as my own. My dog is spoiled, and loves to snuggle. 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!
About: I've cared for dogs of different sizes over the years and I love to cuddle, walk, and pamper pups. We have a fenced in back yard and I like to take long walks with dogs if they're up for it. We have a 4 year old boxer/hound mix who is sweet with people but not great with other dogs. We keep him away from guest dogs, there's lots of room in the house for each dog to have their own space and still get lots of love from me and the family. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. I take breaks through the day to care for puppies, whether that's a quick potty break, fun walk, or play time with balls and toys. When boarding, I make sure pups get any meds they need, plenty of time outside, and snuggles on the couch (if they're the snuggling type). I know some dogs need longer or shorter walks, and I make adjustments based on what they need.

“Angela was totally amazing. This was my first time trusting anyone other than family with my babies and Angela made it so easy. She communicated with me daily sending pictures and updates and my dogs loved her. I will definitely be asking her to come again in the future.”

About: I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life. I have helped take care of my friends and family’s pets for years. Now that I’m an empty nester I thought taking care of your fur babies would be a great way to fill my new found extra time and make some extra $ to help my college kids. I am self employed and have a flexible schedule, so that I am able to make sure your fur babies are properly taken care of. I will walk, feed, and play with your fur babies as per your request to make sure they feel safe and loved in your absence.
About: I have been house sitting/pet sitting since I was 14 years old. I am very reliable and have a flexible working schedule aside from Rover. Pet sitting from me will encourage your animals to still feel loved when you can't be there and decrease their loneliness when you are away. I will make sure your animals are in the absolute best care :) I currently work part time and am blessed to make my own schedule. I am available most weekdays, weekends, and most holidays. Saturdays I am unavailable for the entire day but can still check in with your pets in the morning and evening! I also make my schedule for my other job two weeks in advance and can work around your schedule to the best of my ability. I currently have my own dog and two cats and would love your animals (almost) as much as mine. I understand some pets may have special needs and I am willing to offer this as well as understanding some animals need more love than others and that is no problem. I can feed, water, walk, play, administer medication, love on your animals, etc.
About: I've taken care of dogs of various breeds & sizes . Some breeds include: French bulldog , chihuahua, yorkie, dachshund, toy poodle , & labrador retriever. I have always cared for dogs since childhood. I currently work 3 days out of the work week (available the other 4 days). Hours of availability include some days , evenings, & overnights.

About: I am a very reliable, loving and responsible person who you can trust with your four legged family members. Both my dogs are over the rainbow bridge now but we had a long loving journey together. One was a Lab mix and the other was a Husky rhodesian ridgeback mix. I know the importance of mental stimulation, exercise and rewards that all dogs love. I have grown up around a variety of different animals and also like to volunteer with local non-profit animal rescues. I have experience working with dogs who suffer from anxiety, aggression and/or have a lot of energy. My schedule is flexible in both days and time. Feel free to contact me with any questions you may have. Thank you for your time and stopping by to view my profile. -Gillian S I have the availability and flexibility to be with your dog as much as needed. I work from home allowing my schedule to be flexible and your dog to be with a human 24/7 if needed. I would typically take my dogs to run errands and pick up and drop off the kids to school. If your dog likes car rides and you are comfortable with that they are welcome to always tag along. If they do not like car rides they can be crated or left out in the home. I always use leashes for walks as we do not have a fenced in yard. I do have crates if your dog needs that for any time away or feeling comfortable (depending on how you work with your dog).
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with 5+ years of experience pet and house sitting for friends and family. I’ve cared for everything from large, energetic dogs to laid back cats. I currently share my home with two pups (a Shepherd/Lab and a Beagle/Husky mix) and four cats, so I’m no stranger to managing different personalities and needs. I'm also comfortable caring for reptiles, rodents, and fish (within reason) I’m a recent college graduate with my own reliable transportation and a flexible schedule. While I do navigate some chronic health issues, I’m committed to providing attentive, compassionate care. I especially enjoy creating DIY toys and enrichment activities to keep pets mentally stimulated and happy while you're away. Whether you're looking for drop-in visits, walks, or overnight care, I’d love to help your pets feel safe, loved, and at ease in their own home! My current schedule is very flexible, as I spend most of my day tending to my health and home. I typically have semi-frequent doctor appointments, but they are planned well in advance, which allows me to coordinate our schedules easily I prefer to care for your fur babies in their own home. I can provide drop-in visits or overnight care. I am a laid-back person and will provide lots of love and attention during visits.

I'm generally off on Sundays and Mondays for work, and live close enough for potty breaks and I make my own schedule if enough notice is given.

“Cate did a great job helping take care of my pup while I was out of town. She was on time for my dogs walks, and I always got pics and a written description of what happened on the walk which was very reassuring. I will definitely continue using Cate for dog walking!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all age and sizes since I was a child. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to do anything their pet needs while they’re away. In the future I’m looking to take a dog training course and slow transition into that as a full time job. Every morning I wake up and immediately tend to the dogs and let them outside to use the bathroom and play around, then we come Inside to eat breakfast to start the day. We go outside about 3x daily to potty and play. I have a big privacy fenced in yard for play time. I have 4 dogs of my own. However I typically do not let them converse with my boarding dogs unless known that they are friendly.
About: Since I was little i have always loved spending time with animals. I got my first dog when I was in 3rd grade and ever since then I have been taking care of dogs. Last December I adopted a puppy and he has been my main priority since. Spending time with dogs is what I believe to be the best way to spend my time! Currently I am a student in highschool and I participate in Track and field. I work at a local golf club, but the schedule is pretty open. I would be open mainly weekends or most weekdays after 5:00 unless I have a track meet. Currently I care for three dogs in my home. Two littles and one very big dog. We have a large yard but we keep our dogs leashes when they go out. Therefore in order to give them exercise we take them on long walks. As a caretaker I would be sure to put your pets safety first as well as any rules you place.
About: Your crazy dog stories could never top mine! Dog mom of over 15 years. Currently have a 3 yr old high energy dog. Comfortable caring for any animal of any age. I love all fur babies like my own! I am currently working full-time at night, 5 nights a week. Available mostly any day prior to 3:30pm. Overnights wouldn’t be possible, but could check on your pups before & after work! I am very well versed with all doggy situations. My current situation is not ideal for a dog to come to my home, but checking on yours in their “safe” environment works best!
About: Hello, I’m Abigail. I have had all types of animals my whole life and have had experience working at pet stores and doggie day cares. I strive to keep all animals happy, healthy, and safe at all times! I am home full time, so my schedule is pretty flexible. My home is welcome to all breeds, and if your pup has special needs that is no issue! I have a child, a three legged pup, and a scaredy cat that are all very well socialized with other animals! If need be I can watch almost any other kind of animal you may have. If you have any questions at all, please feel free to contact me! I hope to meet your pups soon! Thank you.
About: I have always had dogs in my life and understand the responsibility of taking care of them. I am currently enrolled in a veterinary technology program and have experience with taking care of rescue dogs, having to walk, feed, and play with them three times a day. I have also cared for others pet for weeks to months at a time. I currently have two dogs of my own and understand that it is concerning being away from them at times, and would want the upmost care for them. While you’re away from home, I will be there to make sure that your dogs are well taken care of. I will make sure that your dogs are happy, healthy, and as active as is needed

“My dog had a great time with Kelly. She shared the photo updates in a timely manner and treated my baby as her own family. I wouldn't hesitate to let her take care of my dog again!”
“Spencer was fantastic. He was communicative, professional, and sent regular updates and photos, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our dog was comfortable and well cared for. He was attentive and picked up on little personality details, making the experience even better. We came home to a happy, relaxed dog. Highly recommend Spencer and would absolutely book with him again.”

“Our Arlo loved spending Christmas with Auntie Amanda and her family! Amanda provided a perfect home away from home experience for our boy. At her house he had other doggy friends to play with, lots of toys, cuddles, and exercise. She even took excellent care of him with his medication and feeding schedule. Thank you so much Amanda!”
“Angi was awesome with our pup! Her and her husband went above and beyond to provide the best care for our pup, who is usually anxious in new settings. Angi communicated great and sent lots of pictures and updates. Our pup is a border collie and they provided her with lots of good quality exercise. We will definitely use Angi for petcare again in the future! Thank you!!”
“If you need someone to watch your pup, we highly recommend Jessica and Matthew. We received regular pictures and chat back and forth to let us know how Daisy was doing. She had a great time with her stay. She made some friends and was almost sad to leave them haha. Super friendly and great communication. We will definitely have them watch Daisy again!”
“First time using Rover.com and Elisheba made for a great first impression! My dog was very happy and well cared for. She sent me several pictures to keep me in the loop on their activities. I definitely recommend Elisheba for your pet walking/boarding needs! ?”
“Andrea took great care of my lil pup on her first overnights without me. She was communicative, has a fenced in yard, a great dog walking neighborhood and I would love to have Rox stay with her for future trips.”
“Caitlin and her family watched our two miniature poodles for 8 days. She consistently sent us pictures of them so we could see how they were doing. When we picked up the dogs, they were not excited to leave. Her children were adorable and really bonded with our dogs. I will definitely be using her again.”
About: For any and all services I provide I will be seeking guidance from the pet owner for preferred handling as people treat their pets differently (allowed on furniture, leash vs off leash, feeding times, etc.) Most of my pet sitting experience has been at their home and i have cared for up to four dogs and two cats (plus chickens and fish). I have also babysat for a cat and a few different dogs at my place. I enjoy an active lifestyle and live near state lands so lots of hiking is usually on the agenda (for dogs anyway). I recently put down my aging cat and have found life is lonely without him, but I am not ready to replace him just yet. Rover seems like a great way to get my fix and earn some extra money along the way. I work full time Monday through Friday and have hour long lunch breaks if midday breaks are needed for your pets. Weekends are for serious play! I live on a low traffic road near a state forest. Access to trails from my back door and a large (unfenced) yard to roam. When staying in someone’s home I treat it like my own with care.
“Amelia was great. She took fantastic care of our cat and dog and was extremely flexible. We would definitely recommend her care and we look forward to booking with her again!”
“Beth watched our dog for over a week. She took excellent care of him and was extremely professional to work with. She had clean, comfortable amenities and was very conscientious about his needs. I would recommend her services to anyone looking for a sitter.”
