Personalized care for your dog or cat - Forsyth
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Forsyth
“We just loved Rebecca and her family. Max just fit in wonderfully. She sent us pictures every day to let us know he was doing great. I think he lost weight from walking him every day. They have a Great Dane and really got along great. We will use her again in the future.”
“Phoebe took great care of my pups. This was Bea's first time away from home post adoption, and she did really well. Phoebe sent me updates and photos every day, and responded really quickly to any message I sent. I will leave my dogs with Phoebe again soon, and already suggested her to a few friends.”
“Really happy to find Tammy. Our dog, Hank, loved his stay with her and her dogs. She has a big fenced in backyard and a comfortable house with a lot of toys for the dogs. We will use her again. She is a 30 minute drive from CHQ and well worth it given the care that she provides.”
“Stephanie was absolutely amazing! She was available with short notice which I am incredibly thankful for. We did a meet & greet beforehand and I knew my dog was in great hands. She sent me a bunch of pictures after the stay and Porkchop looked like he had a wonderful time! Would absolutely hire her again.”
“Logan is very chill which is exactly the type of person you want to leave your dogs with. One of my dogs does not like people he doesn't know, especially if they are men, but he acted like he and Logan were old friends when we dropped him off for his first overnight stay. Both dogs have been sleeping hard since we picked them up which means they got plenty of play time in. We will definitely be using Logan in the future and highly recommend him.”
“Rachel was great! And Heidi was happy while with her despite never meeting Rachel before. It warmed my heart to see her at pickup go back and forth between Rachel and our family for hugs and pets.”
“Alli was a big help with Zoey! She made her feel right at home with her time, care and attention :) We had great communication and she was very flexible when we made a few changes due to our travel plans.”
“Alina was SO great with our Henry. Her kids were inquisitive, adorable and kept Henry entertained all weekend long. Alina sent photos, videos and updates on how he was doing which kept my mind at ease. Would 100% recommend Alina. I can tell Henry loved being with them. They have a large backyard which is fenced in- which was ideal. We are so glad we found her and her family.”
“My dog typically doesn’t take well to changes in her routine, and she is a one-person dog. Beth provided my dog with exactly what she needed - a low key but attentive week, with opportunities for play, walks, naps and treats. Sofie was obviously relaxed and happy (you can’t fake belly rubs!) and she was in good spirits when I came to get her. I’ll be happy to have Sofie stay with Beth the next time I travel!”
“I can't say enough about Rory D. Her home was clean, neat, and very organized. She had a separate "bedroom" where Gigi would spend the night and relax when other pets were in the house. During her stay Rory gave Gigi the opportunity to meet and forge a friendship with another cat. I was so pleased! Rory followed all care requests. Rory sent pictures and videos of Gigi throughout her stay. Gigi appeared very content and happy. Gigi was well cared for and healthy when I picked her up at the end of her stay. Without any reservation I recommend Rory for pet sitting. She did an excellent job. I will definitely rebook with Rory D. the next time I need pet sitting services.”
“My family had a critical medical emergency two days before a long-awaited college reunion, so no one could watch my beloved 12-year old Shih Tzu, Brady, at the last moment. I was desperate to find a sitter for my little dog and decided to try Rover.com, and Katy said she was available. Best decision I have made in years. Katy was loving and so conscientious that I never worried for the entire four days. Her house was lovely, and she cared for Brady like her own much-loved family pet. I cannot express the joy and relief this incredibly kind woman gave me during our trip to West Point. I highly recommend Rover.com and Katy.”
“Melissa is a true saint! My family was on a 2.5 week road trip with our 11 month old Akita puppy, Frida, when we decided to make a stop a the Great Blue Heron festival in Sherman, NY. Being on the road and leaving our puppy with a stranger seemed intimidating, especially considering her shy nature, but Melissa was great! Frida was very reserved with Melissa at first, but eventually warmed up. Melissa sent pictures and videos that showed she was having a great time. She went above and beyond to make sure Frida had access to activities that she enjoyed and even set up play dates with other young dogs. I am so so grateful we found Melissa and we were able to leave our pup with someone who put so much love and care into her time with Frida.”

“Chanine was able to support a late minute request for a sitter, and even do a meet and greet in that short time. Brutus seemed well taken care of at the end of both days after the drop in visit.”
“Nina took great care of our two senior kitties while we were traveling abroad; she even went to the post office to pick up the pet meds that didn’t arrive on time prior to our departure. We returned home to two relaxed, happy cats. Your pets will be well looked after!”
“Phoebe really did an outstanding job taking care of our very shy cat. Nugget really opened up to her right away. Very conscientious and caring. Would definitely use her again!”
About: I’ve cared for cats for my entire life, up until I had children. My oldest son is allergic so we cannot have one in our home but have cared for strays as a family while waiting for the mom to come back. I’m more than happy to provide care for your cat(s) in your home with the utmost respect.
About: Taken care of all pets since a very young age. I've had multiple cats my whole life and a recently passed dog aswell as fish, rats, guinea pigs, and insects. Family and friends have asked for me to pet-sit and for a year I took care of 2 adorable puppies while their parents worked late to start their business. Currently working part-time with a very flexible schedule and have absolutely no problem calling off once or twice a week(I hate my job I wish I could care for animals full time) I spoil all of my pets and have no issue with treating your babies the same way! I maintain a clean environment with advanced nutrition and probably excessive play with my tabby cat!
“Mackenzie was an absolute dream of a cat sitter. She took such thoughtful care of our two cats with both morning and evening check-ins, and it was clear how much she genuinely cared about them 💕 She kept everything clean and tidy, made sure they were well fed (and well loved), and kept us updated with nice photos and messages. Her updates gave us total peace of mind, and we came home to two very happy cats. We’re so grateful for her and would recommend her to anyone without hesitation!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Forsyth
About: One of my favorite things to do is to take care of and spend time with all types of animales, but especially dogs. I love how they give unconditional love, and I love reciprocating that love! All my life I have taken care of all types of animals, including 12 years taking care of dogs. I am a stay at home mom and have unlimited time to spend taking care of dogs whether that be in boarding them or doggie day care or whatever a client needs in taking care of their dog. I don’t have a fenced in yard, but I have a large lot(2 acres)to be able to walk and play with any dog that stays with me.
About: Hello! I am a Lab and Dalmatian mom. I have experience dog sitting lots of dogs from cavaliers to Bernese mountain dogs. I am a lover of all kinds of dogs. I will love and spoil your baby/babies while you are away. I’m currently working part-time, so I’ll have lots of time to play with your baby/babies. I’m available for boarding, sitting, or walking any day of the week. I have a fenced yard and three friendly dogs to keep your baby/babies company while you’re away. I can easily crate your dog if needed too. I’ll leave that up to you.
“We are passing through this part of NY, visiting friends. We needed someone to care for Aubie while we were out for the day. Nina answered my request quickly and provided excellent communication throughout. When we met to drop off Aubie, we knew we were at the right place. Nina has a welcoming place for dog care and a calm presence. At 15+ years, Aubie can be a little anxious with changes; here, she settled right in. When we returned to retrieve Aubie, she was soundly sleeping, cuddled in a blanket. Nina, you are the perfect person to care for Aubie. Thank you for the photos and great care.”
About: I have taking care of animals my whole life I've been wanting to grow older and do something with animals which is why i want this and it will help for future jobs I stay at home while my fiancé works full-time, which allows me to provide attentive, 24/7 care for your pets. Because I’m home throughout the day and night, I’m able to handle all of your pet’s needs right away—whether that’s walks, feedings, playtime, medication, or just companionship. Your pets will never be left alone for long periods and will receive constant supervision, comfort, and care in a calm, loving environment. I treat every pet like family and make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for at all times. I prioritize safety, trust, and comfort in every setting. In my home, pets are supervised, kept in a clean and calm environment, and never left unattended for long periods. I follow all feeding instructions, leash pets securely for walks, and make sure doors and gates are always secured. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow their pet’s usual routine to reduce stress. I double-check locks, keep food and hazards out of reach, and provide regular updates so owners always feel confident and informed. My goal is to create a safe, trusted, and familiar environment wherever your pet is staying.

I also have gates if access needs to be limited to parts of my house. Example, I do have stairs and can block them if pet is unable to do stairs.

“Beth is hands-down the BEST sitter I’ve ever had! She is incredibly trustworthy, honest, and communicative—times ten! From the moment I dropped off my frenchie, doc, I felt completely at ease. Beth sent tons of pictures and videos, keeping me updated and connected the entire time. I could tell Doc was not only safe but genuinely happy and well cared for. It’s such a relief to find someone who treats your dog like their own. Whenever I’m in the Erie area, Beth is the only sitter I’ll ever use. Highly, highly recommend!”
“I have been looking for a new dog sitter. My dog loves other dogs so I wanted her to have a playmate and the house needed a fenced in yard. Karen’s name popped up and I am so happy I found her. It’s difficult to leave your dog with a stranger for the first time but upon meeting Karen my fears were alleviated. She was very attentive to my dog and I was impressed that she had read my dogs bio prior to my arrival and already new the details I wanted her to know. I would highly recommend Karen to watch your dog.”

Your fur baby will have their very Owen room with a gate door that is about 6ft tall to keep them safe and comfortable when I am not watching them or letting them out for play time. I will follow your set schedule for feedings and play time. If I am boarding an animal they are my soul focus till pick up time.

About: Most sitters just “watch” dogs, I actually work with them. I pay attention to behavior, energy levels, and routines so your dog stays comfortable, not stressed. I keep structure, stay active with them, and communicate clearly so you always know how things are going. Your dog isn’t just being supervised, they’re being cared for the right way. Because I’m a subcontractor, my schedule isn’t fixed, which works in your favor. I usually have consistent openings in the mornings and a lot of availability in the afternoons. This allows me to be flexible with walks, drop ins, and extended care. I plan ahead to make sure every dog gets proper time and attention. I treat every dog like they’re my own. That means keeping their routine consistent, making sure they get enough exercise, and giving them real attention, not just checking in. I pay close attention to behavior, mood, and energy so they stay comfortable and stress-free. You’ll also get updates so you always know your dog is in good hands.
