“Kara was amazing with my two fur babies, while I was out of town. I didn’t have to worry leaving them and she checked in frequently and also sent me pictures. I highly recommend her and am very grateful and pleased. Thanks again”
“Vanessa went above and beyond caring for my dog. He was well cared for including feeding, socialization, and exercise. He got to experience new surroundings and settings that included an exercise arena that he thoroughly enjoyed. I appreciate the time and attention given to him and would highly recommend anyone to trust their dog with Vanessa and her family. Thank You!”
“Tracy was nothing short of amazing! From drop off to keeping up with daily check ins, pictures etc. She made my husband, myself and our fur child absolutely comfortable with the whole process. He even got to attend a “pawty” while we were away ? 12/10 recommend”
“Geoffrey went above and beyond to keep us updated while we were away. He's extremely communicative and took great care of our dog, Archie. We know Archie had a great time at Geoffrey’s house and we would definitely recommend Geoffrey’s services to anyone in need!”
“I can’t say enough wonderful things about Becky and her sweet family. This was my first time using Rover, I was very nervous but right off the bat Becky made me feel super comfortable about everything. I left my Emma with them for almost an entire week and it seemed like she had a blast. Becky sent updates and pictures throughout the week and my girl got all the love and snuggles that we would have given her at home! They definitely treated her like their own ◡̈ I could go on and on but bottom line would ABSOLUTELY recommend booking with Becky, we definitely will be!”
“A wonderfully sweet and caring sitter who did a magnificent job taking care of my senior dog. She is very mature and professional. She was conscientious of my senior dogs limitations but still kept her active and engaged. She expressed initiative in helping out with my furbaby's care that wasn't anticipated was sooo appreciated. Would recommend her to everyone, and will definitely use her every future needs.”
“We are very pleased that our dog was in caring hands. We regularly received photos and updates about her well-being. This was our first experience being apart from our pet, and we understand that it was unusual for her and possibly accompanied by some difficulties. But the team managed everything and showed great care. At the end of her stay, our dog even received some lovely gifts. We are very grateful for this and will definitely turn here again next time. Thank you so much! ❤️❤️❤️”
“Lauren was great with my dog moose. He was very happy every picture update I received. Her home was very dog friendly and moose loved his stay. I highly recommend her for any of your future dog boarding needs. I will definitely be using her services in the future.”

“If you are looking for an exceptional dog-sitter, look no further than Rutha K. She provided our Cavapoo, Tori, with excellent care and my wife and I were very confident in leaving Tori with her for the few days we were away. We will definitely utilize her services again!”
“Mikayla was super accommodating to our hectic schedule and helped work around some funny times that we had. She sent picture updates of my dog and her response time was fast whenever I had questions or was just checking in. We did a meet and greet before boarding to make sure she was a perfect fit for my crazy goofy dog and it was a sure hit! I felt safe and comfortable leaving my dog with Mikayla and I will definitely be using her services again for future boarding. 10/10 recommend!”
“Ashley and her family were absolutely wonderful! They sent lots of great pictures and updates and were so sweet to our pup. Wish we lived closer, we would send him there more! But will be sure to go back when we are nearby again.”

“I booked Kara on a fairly last minute notice. I had a house sitter while I was away but due to his work schedule I wanted to make it easier on him and less stressful on my dogs by keeping their feeding and outside schedule closer to what they are used to. Kara communicated very well and sent pictures daily when she was at the house. I would definitely consider her for additional services like walking or boarding.”
About: Quality pet care, mixed with love, exercise, fun, and safety. That is what I'm all about. I have loved pets since was younger, and first started working with pets as a pet sitter/dog walker. I loved getting to know fur babies and what makes them happiest. I like bringing new buddies home for Lui and mostly I like helping people have a little more time by taking amazing care of their loved ones while at work. I'm happiest when I'm with my pup Lui. He's soon to be 2 years old and still is my spoiled little boy. The love I have for Lui is the love your baby will get when booking with me. We go on walks, we learn new tricks, and get lots of exercise! The more energy the better! I've also had experience dealing with pets with anxiety or aggressive tendencies. Not new to taking my time to build trust and offering a separate space to a dog who needs it. I have cameras in my house offer peace of mind that your loved one is safe & see all the fun we have when indoors, like TV time or tug of war. It's always a fun time and I'm always here for it. I organize my schedule mostly to work with pets full time, my work occupies me from 4 AM to about noon and work 5 minutes from my house with liberty to stop in at any point. Most days I am here through the mornings too so your furry loved ones get undivided attention. I only book dogs in time blocks of 5 hours, so I am never over crowded when it comes to boarding or day care. I like to be sure each pet is taken care of personally and effectively. Pet-Sitting: Often this service for me changes based on owner preference. It requires more in depth detail about the home life of the pet. One reason for this is to ensure I am not interrupting any routines the pet may have. Boarding & Day Care: I treat all pets as if they were my very best friend. We have tv time together (Dog TV), we go on two 30 minute walks within the 5 hour time block. We even eat meals together. Being that my yard is unfenced I personally walk the dogs on leash for 30-45 minutes. Meals for pets are based on owner specifications. Overnight boarding being different in a sense of they get one night walk before bed time/wind down time. They are uncrated (unless the owner specifies to do so), so they have full use of the living area and pets are allowed to be on the furniture purchased for them (Although I am not new to waking up and them being on the couch!)
About: I’ve had animals my entire life, and have lots of pet sitting experience! I can walk, feed, bathe, and give medication if needed. Most importantly, I will love them like my own! I work part time and can be available pretty much whenever, my schedule is very flexible. I am able to focus on your pet care needs. I have a cat myself, but am able to separate him if need be, whatever is best for you. He is friendly. I also have two perfectly healthy and well fed Guinea pigs, and am well trained on small animal needs. And I have had dogs my entire life growing up. I have dog sat for family and friends many times. I keep a clean home, and am able to walk dogs on our property, we live in the country and have lots of room to play. We do not have an enclosed area but we do have a lead and leash, and your pet will never be unattended while outside or on adventures. We also have a cat/dog harness and a small animal outdoor caged area for grass nibbles. And always fresh food and water both inside and out.
“Great experience with Melinda :)! She made the effort to come beforehand fro a meet and greet and she was great with my cats. It was so nice to be away and not worry about my fur babies :).”
“Alexandrea was absolutely amazing with our two cats! Communication with her was easy and she sent us pictures everyday of our cats. First time trying rover and she went above and beyond for us. Not only did she take great care of the cats, she even cleared snow when there was a storm while we were away, so above and beyond what she came to do! I would recommend her to anyone for care of your pets while you’re away.”
“Gabriella was great with our cat Maple. Maple was perfectly happy while we were away because of Gabriella's great care every day. She even left Maple a Christmas gift, which she loves! We will definitely book Gabriella again if we need another cat sitter.”
About: I’ve taken care of many kinds of different dogs. Parents, friends and family have asked me to care for them while they’re gone. My childhood dog was boxer so have a lot of experience with that breed and I have a pit bull terrier of my own. I am currently home full time, so I’ll have a lot of free time to play and care for your fur babies. Considering I have lots of free time having a dog or a couple dogs to care for isn’t a problem for! I love all animals and treat them like my own! I have a partially fenced yard and a long 100+ ft chain that I could clip onto your dogs collar so they can roam around without getting lose/ running away, they will have their own food and water bowls and be taken out as needed. If your dog needs to be in a crate I have two at home that I could use. I also have a pup of my own that your dog can play with.
About: I've taken care of dogs, cats, horses, chickens, ducks, ferrets, you name it and I've taken care of it!

I cater to how my clients want their animals cared for and treated, each home is different and I try my best to meet my clients standards.
About: I’ve always been an animal lover. When I was a child I had all sorts of different pets. I had fish, hamsters, gerbils, lizards and rabbits. When I got older I had a family dog named Lulu who I helped house brake and train as a pup when I was in high school. When I became an adult I adopted my dog Weston who I’ve had and trained since he was an eight week old puppy. I’m very confident in my ability to help house train your young dog if need be. I understand how much stimulation and exercise they require. I’m happy to provide that through long walks, trips to the dog park and general outings. I have lots of chew toys around and ways to keep feisty puppies occupied. I’ve fostered cats as well as taken care of neighbors’ kittens including providing feedings and litter box cleaning when necessary. I’ve always wanted to have a parrot as a pet so if you have birds that need care I’d appreciate the opportunity to come help out and learn more about them :). I’m currently a full time pet sitter. I have a dog of my own as well. I will be available all hours of the day and night to care for your animal(s). I’m happy to spend the extra time taking puppies in training as well as senior dogs outside as much as they need. I have a friendly golden doodle named Weston to keep your pup company. I’m happy to help house brake puppies as well as provide care for senior animals.
About: What sets me apart as a cat sitter is my commitment to providing specialized care that goes beyond the basics. I'm not just here to feed your cat; I'm dedicated to ensuring their health, happiness, and comfort in every way. Specialized Care and Experience I have extensive experience with administering medications, including pills and liquids. I understand that a consistent schedule is crucial for your cat's health, and I'll make sure their medication is given precisely as prescribed. My background in handling cats with special needs, such as those with diabetes, kidney disease, or anxiety, means I'm prepared for any situation. Beyond medication, I believe a clean environment is a key part of a cat's well-being. I take pride in deep-cleaning litter boxes, ensuring they're scooped multiple times a day and sanitized regularly to prevent odors and promote hygiene. I also make sure food and water bowls are kept sparkling clean. A Focus on Mental and Physical Well-being My visits are not just a quick stop. I dedicate time to interactive play, using toys and games to keep your cat mentally stimulated and physically active. For more timid cats, I offer a gentle and patient presence, allowing them to warm up to me at their own pace. I can also provide grooming, like brushing and nail trims, if needed. When you choose me, you're not just hiring a sitter; you're getting a dedicated partner in your cat's care. I'll provide detailed updates after every visit, complete with photos and notes on how your cat is doing, so you can have complete peace of mind while you're away.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Fairfield
About: I have over forty years of dog experience. I bred German Shepherd’s for fifteen years. I have taken obedience, agility, and Nose work from local professional trainers and have done puppy, beginner, intermediate and advanced obedience with three of my dogs. I also worked for 1.5 years at a doggie daycare in Utica. I want to do my doggie daycare on a small scale so your pet receives individual attention. I have seen places doing 25- 50 dogs with only one or two people watching them and I feel there is a great need for care on a much smaller scale. So here I am! I retired from banking and with my husband live on our small farm in the country. We built what we call the dog arena for exercising our personal dogs and I intend to use it to also exercise my clients dogs. I am available most weekends and week days. I was working a part time job at a doggie daycare but recently decided that I would prefer to be home with my pups and yours! I have a large fenced in exercise area. I have gates in my home so I can gradually introduce our dogs or can keep them separate depending on individual needs.
“Dennis and Dayna were wonderful and kind. Buster and Brin did so well we decided to book them for another day. Buster enjoyed the play time and came home nice and tired. Would not hesitate to used Dennis and Dayna again to care for my fur babies.”
“Took great care of our pets,Sent many photos,videos and took them for walks. He kept us informed on how they were doing and the dogs seemed happy to return for a second visit. I would highly recommend this Rover sitter for any one in the area needing a pet sitter.”
“Heather was great with my little guy. I was heading to Cooperstown for a few hours and needed a place for him to stay while I was out and about. Heather sent me pictures and updates the few hours she had him. If you’re ever in the area, I highly recommend using Heather to watch your dog!”
“Tracy is an absolute sweetheart and lifesaver. She is very flexible and takes care of my baby like he was her own. I don't worry when she is watching him and it is such a relief not to have to worry. I would highly recommend her to anyone. Thank you so much Tracy!!”
“William is awesome. He always keeps you updated on how your dog is doing, along with pictures. My dog, who is usually very cautious, warmed up to him right away. Definitely would recommend!!”
“I am so happy to have found Laura, she was so welcoming, thoughtful and reassuring to my little Boston who is quite the sensitive boy. He was able to lounge in the home comfortably and also free to play and frolic with other like minded pups. Just a great all around experience, thanks a million!”

About: With 5 years of dedicated experience in pet care, I provide a comprehensive and compassionate service tailored to the unique needs of each animal. My expertise extends beyond basic care to include specialized skills such as positive reinforcement-based puppy training, helping to establish good habits from an early age. I also have a deep understanding of senior dog care, including administering medication, providing gentle exercise, and creating a comfortable, low-stress environment. I have experience managing a variety of medical conditions, ensuring your furry family member is safe and well-cared for at all times. My goal is to be a trusted partner in your pet's health and happiness, providing peace of mind while you're away. Each morning starts with feeding, watering, and a potty break for the pets in my care. This is followed by a morning walk or playtime to get their energy out and start the day on a positive note. Throughout the day, I follow individual schedules, which might include specific feeding times for puppies or senior dogs, medication administration, or scheduled walks and potty breaks. The afternoon often includes another round of playtime or enrichment activities, such as puzzle feeders or training sessions, to keep their minds engaged. Evenings are typically quieter, with a final feeding and potty break before a relaxing wind-down. My weekly routine involves a bit more planning. I coordinate with pet owners to schedule walks, check-ins, or overnight stays. I also use this time to restock on supplies and keep detailed records of each pet's behavior, eating habits, and health. If a pet is in my care for an extended period, I might schedule a grooming appointment to ensure they're in top shape. My schedule is built around the needs of the pet, ensuring they receive consistent, loving care and that their owners have peace of mind. Caring for pets, whether on my own or a client's, requires a responsible and attentive approach to ensure their well-being. A fundamental aspect is providing a consistent routine, including scheduled feeding times with high-quality, species-appropriate food and fresh water that is always accessible. Regular exercise is crucial for both physical and mental health; this can range from daily walks for dogs to interactive playtime. Environmental enrichment, such as toys, scratching posts, and comfortable bedding, helps prevent boredom and destructive behaviors. It's also vital to maintain a clean and safe living space by regularly cleaning food and water bowls, litter boxes, and bedding. Beyond daily care, a thorough pet care plan includes regular grooming, such as brushing and nail trims, and staying up-to-date on veterinary care, including vaccinations and preventative treatments for fleas, ticks, and worms. For client homes, clear communication is paramount. It is important for me to obtain detailed instructions regarding the pet's specific needs, routines, medications, and any behavioral quirks, as well as emergency contact information. This holistic approach, combining routine care with attention to individual needs and a focus on safety and hygiene, ensures a happy and healthy life for any pet under my care.

Let me be your go-to for all your pet care needs - because when it comes to your furry family members, they deserve the best! I helped manage a doggie daycare for a couple years in Central Jersey so I can also handle multiple dogs at one time! I am a stay at home mom, so I have plenty of time to get your pup out and get some energy out of them! Went on a walk twice a week to give the pup exercise and companionship. Provided general pet care duties as required, including feeding, watering, changing the litter box, and administering medication prescribed by the veterinarian.
“Dennis is personable, prompt, and flexible. He offers a variety of services for your canine companion. I appreciated his very thoughtful observation of my dog’s body language, behavior, and preference cues - Elliot can take a moment to warm up to new friends and lives to play with his flirt stick. I would, without reservation, recommend Dennis as your walker, play date companion, and house sitter.”
About: I was a volunteer at a local animal shelter from ages 14 to 18, my experience includes puppies, dogs, senior dogs, kittens, cats, senior cats, and feral cats. Part of my job was to help rescue animals from hoarding situations and socialize them, with proper space and respect of course. It was a very long, yet rewarding process. Unfortunately, I had to leave because I moved to Potsdam for school. I have a love for animals, my pets mean very much to me and I know yours mean a lot to you too. I have two cats at home and one here. I also assist my boyfriends family in caring for their 2 dogs and 5 cats. Pets are part of the family and deserve the best care even when their owners are away. I am here to provide only the best for your sweet animals. My schedule will be totally open until mid-June, from there I will be out of town a few days a week, but still have a fairly open schedule. My boyfriend and I recently adopted and acclimated a semi-feral cat. She took some time to warm up, but with space and patience from the humans, she is a regular house cat. Working with animals is something I love deeply. It’s so rewarding to see them come out of their shell when given the space to do so. I promise I will treat your fur baby nothing short of amazing, because the care shouldn’t change just because the owners are away ❤️

About: I've taken care of dogs, cats, horses, chickens, ducks, ferrets, you name it and I've taken care of it! Animals are a passion of mine and through pet sitting I get to meet so many great animals. I have offered a verity of pet sitting services such as dog walking, house sitting and farm sitting. Through the 4 years I have been pet sitting I have watched and cared for both domestic pets, as well as farm animals, and I have a list of references to back up my work. I do have a local part time job so my schedule is very flexible when it comes to pet sitting. I am available to check in and care for your pets in the morning, afternoon, and at night. I am also available to watch pets overnight throughout the week and on weekends. I like to visit my clients home, and meet the animals I will be caring for prior to the service to ensure I am equipped to provide excellent care that makes the animal comfortable and healthy, as well as provide the client a piece of mind. I cater to how my clients want their animals cared for and treated, each home is different and I try my best to meet my clients standards.
About: I’ve always been an animal lover. When I was a child I had all sorts of different pets. I had fish, hamsters, gerbils, lizards and rabbits. When I got older I had a family dog named Lulu who I helped house brake and train as a pup when I was in high school. When I became an adult I adopted my dog Weston who I’ve had and trained since he was an eight week old puppy. I’m very confident in my ability to help house train your young dog if need be. I understand how much stimulation and exercise they require. I’m happy to provide that through long walks, trips to the dog park and general outings. I have lots of chew toys around and ways to keep feisty puppies occupied. I’ve fostered cats as well as taken care of neighbors’ kittens including providing feedings and litter box cleaning when necessary. I’ve always wanted to have a parrot as a pet so if you have birds that need care I’d appreciate the opportunity to come help out and learn more about them :). I’m currently a full time pet sitter. I have a dog of my own as well. I will be available all hours of the day and night to care for your animal(s). I’m happy to spend the extra time taking puppies in training as well as senior dogs outside as much as they need. I have a friendly golden doodle named Weston to keep your pup company. I’m happy to help house brake puppies as well as provide care for senior animals.
About: With 5 years of dedicated experience in pet care, I provide a comprehensive and compassionate service tailored to the unique needs of each animal. My expertise extends beyond basic care to include specialized skills such as positive reinforcement-based puppy training, helping to establish good habits from an early age. I also have a deep understanding of senior dog care, including administering medication, providing gentle exercise, and creating a comfortable, low-stress environment. I have experience managing a variety of medical conditions, ensuring your furry family member is safe and well-cared for at all times. My goal is to be a trusted partner in your pet's health and happiness, providing peace of mind while you're away. Each morning starts with feeding, watering, and a potty break for the pets in my care. This is followed by a morning walk or playtime to get their energy out and start the day on a positive note. Throughout the day, I follow individual schedules, which might include specific feeding times for puppies or senior dogs, medication administration, or scheduled walks and potty breaks. The afternoon often includes another round of playtime or enrichment activities, such as puzzle feeders or training sessions, to keep their minds engaged. Evenings are typically quieter, with a final feeding and potty break before a relaxing wind-down. My weekly routine involves a bit more planning. I coordinate with pet owners to schedule walks, check-ins, or overnight stays. I also use this time to restock on supplies and keep detailed records of each pet's behavior, eating habits, and health. If a pet is in my care for an extended period, I might schedule a grooming appointment to ensure they're in top shape. My schedule is built around the needs of the pet, ensuring they receive consistent, loving care and that their owners have peace of mind. Caring for pets, whether on my own or a client's, requires a responsible and attentive approach to ensure their well-being. A fundamental aspect is providing a consistent routine, including scheduled feeding times with high-quality, species-appropriate food and fresh water that is always accessible. Regular exercise is crucial for both physical and mental health; this can range from daily walks for dogs to interactive playtime. Environmental enrichment, such as toys, scratching posts, and comfortable bedding, helps prevent boredom and destructive behaviors. It's also vital to maintain a clean and safe living space by regularly cleaning food and water bowls, litter boxes, and bedding. Beyond daily care, a thorough pet care plan includes regular grooming, such as brushing and nail trims, and staying up-to-date on veterinary care, including vaccinations and preventative treatments for fleas, ticks, and worms. For client homes, clear communication is paramount. It is important for me to obtain detailed instructions regarding the pet's specific needs, routines, medications, and any behavioral quirks, as well as emergency contact information. This holistic approach, combining routine care with attention to individual needs and a focus on safety and hygiene, ensures a happy and healthy life for any pet under my care.

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and am comfortable caring for dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to seniors who need a slower pace and extra attention. I take a calm, reliable approach and focus on each dog’s individual routine, safety, and comfort.
