“Angela is a gem! I was planning a road trip with my 7.5 year old Norwegian Elkhound, Grayson (med. size) from Terre Haute, Indiana to Clinton, NY to visit family just recently in October of 2025. There were a lot of pieces of the of the puzzle to figure out and I started my internet and calling search in August. I was going to be staying at my mother's Senior apartment complex, celebrating her 87th birthday, but they do not allow visiting/staying dogs. My brother lives nearby but due to teenagers coming and going and having a small dog I needed to find other accommodations for Grayson. I called, emailed and options were few and far between. Some boarding kennels were too expensive or already booked, or had rules that the dog must stay until final pickup. Independent pet/home sitters not on Rover did not return emails. I needed to be able to take Grayson out a couple of times during the trip so that my mom could see Grayson as well as enjoy some of the Clinton fun spots with him while there. I also needed to pick Grayson up for the weekend to visit relatives in Massachusetts, then return him for another pet stay the next week. Angela was literally the last person I reached out to (having never used Rover and was unsure at first to use the service) and she got what I was trying to accomplish! We had seamless communication through Rover for initial Q & A and then had a couple of video chats to confirm that this was a match! The Rover app is similar to Airbnb where communication, reservations, and payment are done over the platform. When it was time for travel, Angela let us know she was ready for us! Grayson stayed with Angela Monday through Friday with a mid-week pick up for an afternoon, then picked up Grayson for the weekend getaway visiting relatives. Then Grayson spent Monday through Wednesday of the next week with Angela. Let me just say Grayson fell in love with Angela and Angela fell in love with Grayson! Angela is very attentive with all the details, and all the things you bring to make your pup comfortable (meds, crate, blankets, etc all was handled with care!) Grayson loved all the walks and attention she gave him! It was fun making the drive from Clinton to Angela's, about a 30 min. drive and her town is so pretty, especially with the fall colors and stopping at the local museum and produce stands was so enjoyable. I felt totally comfortable the whole trip that Grayson was well cared for. Angela went the extra mile with lots of attention, walks, brushing and getting an extra bone when I forgot mine. Without Angela, this road trip would not have happened as I really wanted to bring Grayson and have my mom see him as time marches on and wanted mom to see Grayson before any more time went by. Angela made my dream trip come true! Grayson and I even had a side trip to Niagara Falls and I will remember this trip forever! I plan to do this roundtrip again and will definitely book Angela again! I recommend Angela as an exceptional pet/home sitter! For any travelers out there with itineraries like mine, you will be in great hands with Angela! Thank you, Angela, your care for Grayson totally warmed my heart! Your service and care were impeccable! When I set up the next road trip, I will be in touch! Kris A, Terre Haute, Indiana”
“Ashley took great care of my golden doodle over the Holiday period! Updates were frequent and had lots of pictures, there was lots of room to run and play and all round Thor had a blast!”
“Jenna is amazing with animals. I have never been able to leave my pup and feel comfortable. He's a dog with many needs, medical, behavioral you name it. He gets into tons of trouble. She was able to keep him safe qnd happy and he got a ton if exercise and attention just like he was at home. We have even tried a doggy daycare and he was hurt while we were away. Jenna kept him safe. We will be using her again next month!”
“Christine and Matthew took such great care of Shiba. They treated her like part of their family and made sure she felt comfortable and loved the entire stay. I got regular updates and photos, and I felt completely at ease knowing she was in such good hands. Shiba came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. I would absolutely book with Christine and Matthew again and recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy, caring sitters!”
“I cannot say enough amazing things about our experience with Becky! From our first interaction, it was clear how genuinely caring, responsible, and attentive they were. She took the time to get to know our dog’s personality and little quirks, which immediately put us at ease. Throughout the stay, we received consistent updates, photos, and thoughtful check-ins that made it so easy to relax knowing our pup was in such great hands. It honestly felt like our dog was on their own little vacation. What really stood out was the level of detail and effort. Becky and her daughter went above and beyond in every way. Whether it was sticking to her feeding and supplement schedules, making sure our dog got plenty of love and attention, extra attention to her needs (it was a change of seasons aka shedding time and they gave her lots of extra care and brushing to keep her comfortable!), it was all so appreciated. It’s not easy to trust someone with your pet, but I would 100% book Becky again without hesitation and recommend her to absolutely anyone. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your dog like their own, you’ve found the one!”
“Holly is the kind of care you would hope to have with a 5 star review. Not only did she truly care about my pups, she treated them as one of her own and sent me frequent updates on how they were doing. I would definitely recommend her to anyone.”
“Prior to booking Kara, I hadn’t used Rover in years and was nervous about leaving my dog in the care of another person—we’re attached at the hip. However, I couldn’t have booked a better person. Kara is extremely communicative and caring, and had plenty of space for my pup to run around and explore. She asked lots of clarifying questions prior to booking, and I could tell she really enjoyed and remained curious about the personality of my dog! I received lots of pictures and quick responses. My energetic Staffordshire Terrier, Toto, enjoyed a long weekend of naps and sunshine, and returned to me vibrant as ever! Kara’s awesome care eased any worries I might have had, and I highly recommend her to anyone who might also be a reluctant helicopter parent like I am! If this if your first Rover rodeo, you can proceed with confidence, which is an amazing feeling to have.”

“Debbie is an amazing and attentive dog sitter. I felt absolutely at ease leaving Kona with her. I always have a hard time emotionally leaving my animals and this time I felt completely free to leave, knowing Kona was in the right place. I truly appreciate the schedule, with play and exercise time followed up by beautiful supportive pictures of Kona.”
“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!”
“Lorinda was simply amazing! She came to pick up Nova on time and consistently sent Nova's photos and videos. She is very passionate and patient with puppies as well. Having her service was a great experience for me, and I will definitely trust her again on my next trip to care for my baby.”
“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.”
“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.”
“I cannot say enough good things about the fantastic experience I received working with Gil. He took care of my girl like she was his own. He was in contact with me throughout the stay, making me feel very at ease, and comfortable.”
“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.”
“Cassandra was amazing with my Sophia who is an older dog with a few senior issues. We were kept in the loop every day on how she was adjusting to her new sitter ( including pictures) and that made me feel confident we made a great choice. I would hope Cassandra will agree to watch Sophia again when she needs boarding. Anne”
“Katie has been amazing on keeping me up to date on how my puppers was doing/adjusting. She sent photos for a few updates as well!! We will be back again and I know Maple is already excited to get back there!”

“Morghan has cared for my Maine Coon multiple times! She is the very best! I failed to submit a review in time after last Christmas' cat sitting session. The power went out and she came over on Christmas to check on everything!! She wasn't even scheduled for that day! A quick worried message to her and she was right there to help. She made sure my cat and the house was ok. I'll always request her services for my cat. She also spends quality time with my guy. She's more than just a pet sitter! She's very trustworthy, reliable, and goes above and beyond! I highly recommend her!”
“This was our first time using rover for our 2 cats. They are super anxious kitties and Natalie was awesome. She kept me updated on them and I didn’t have to worry about a thing!”
“We have booked Alexandria multiple times and she is always amazing at making sure our cat is all set while we travel. She’s great at communication and we get the best pictures while we are traveling.”
“Cassandra took excellent care of my two cats, one of whom is a senior with some extra care needs. She kept me updated with photos everyday and my boys loved her! She went above and beyond giving them lots of attention and love while we were away. We were delighted to come home to a clean house and happy cats. We will definitely book with her again in the future.”
“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.”
“Gil's calm and thoughtful demeanor immediately inspired trust. His care of my cat was flawless. I will request Gil next time I am away. I recommend Gil without reservation.”
“Devon was amazing to my cat, Scottie. She sent photos and was detailed with her updates! Devon listens to your pet’s needs and is so accommodating. I recommend her in a heartbeat! 1000/10”

About: I’ve always had a love for animals and have had pets of my own ever since I was born! Neighbors, friends, and family members have relied on me for years to stay at their homes with their animals, check up on them, and ensure they are being fed and well cared for while they are away. I treat each animal like they are my own and provide the care that they so deserve! I’m currently only working part time this summer so I will have plenty of time to care for your pet throughout the day!

About: I grew up with dogs and recently owned 2 rescued dogs. I have land around my home and access to a wooded area with trails for longer walks. I am comfortable with caring for dogs in any facet. I am a teacher and I am looking for summer work. I am free every day until late August. I am willing to walk your dog in your neighborhood or board a dog over night. I have a stake in my yard for when my daughter visits with her 35 lb. Dog. Previous bigger dogs were walked on a leash at all times. I usually walk my dogs 1-2x daily for up to a 1/2 hour.
“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!”
“Terri is great! We are getting our pupper acclimated to her “vacation home” for a longer stay later in the year, and after much trial and error found someone that lets us take a trip knowing our furbaby is in good hands. Rover needs more than 5 stars…”
“Excellent individualized care for my fur baby, who has severe separation anxiety. This wife-husband team works together seamlessly to provide fantastic communication, warm greetings and goodbyes, and everything any pup would need in between. Their own pups are friendly and accepting... My Rocky felt welcome and happy to "run with the pack" all day.”
“This was my dog's first time with a Rover sitter. Lorinda did her best to get him settled. She understood he was not wanting to be social. She got her chair and stayed by him while he was in her fenced area. Couldn't ask for more.”
“I can’t thank Gil enough for the attentiveness, caring, and love he showed to my 15 yr old dachshund! Gil took the time to listen to my wife and me when we described to him our pup’s tendencies and hinderances. We felt confident as we pulled out of the driveway that our old guy was in great hands! Gil made sure to send us photos of our pup throughout the day, as well as updates on its evacuations (very important for an older dog). Overall, I can say unequivocally that Gil was a perfect sitter for our elderly pup, and I would 100% recommend him to anyone needing a pet sitter in that area! Kudos, Gil!”

About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them comes from a very genuine place in my heart. I have over 10 years of experience with dogs and have cared for my own, including Coco, who I adopted at 4 months old and is now 8, and Heidi, who is 7. I also helped care for Nico, a Pomeranian, and Nina, a Chihuahua, for 3 years, along with pet sitting for multiple dogs in clients’ homes in Austin, Texas. My dogs are incredibly special to me and have been emotional support companions through so much in my life, which is why I deeply understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your dog. I know they are not just pets, they are family. I recently moved from Austin, Texas to Hamilton, New York, and I’m excited to help local pet parents with drop-in visits and walks. I am very responsible, attentive, and understand that every dog has different needs. I always do my best to follow care instructions closely, provide updates and pictures, and make each visit as personalized as possible. I also prefer meeting dogs with their owner first when possible, so everyone feels comfortable. My goal is to make you feel confident that your dog will be safe, loved, and very well cared for. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I work managing my own cleaning and management business from home which gives me flexibility in my schedule. Right now I offer drop-in visits and walks only, so I care for pets in the comfort of their own home where they feel most familiar and safe. I always want to follow the owner’s routine and instructions as closely as possible, because I know every dog is different. For drop-in visits, I can help with potty breaks, fresh water, feeding, playtime, and companionship. For walks, I make sure dogs are safe, comfortable, and getting the attention and exercise they need. I’m also happy to send picture updates so owners can feel at ease while they’re away. My goal is to make every visit feel dependable, caring, and personalized.

About: I grew up with two cats, so I love cats as well as dogs. In 2019, I adopted an incredibly loving, gorgeous lab pit named Lucy, and she keeps me very active every day! She was a rescue dog, and although we were originally fostering her, I bonded with her too much to let her go. I’ve always been a natural introvert and have been drawn to the compassion of animals. I believe we can learn more about our own humanity through caring for animals. I look forward to meeting your amazing furry friends! In addition to Rover, I substitute teach right now, and this allows me to have a very flexible schedule. It's closer to part-time than full-time. My priority is to listen and adapt to each client’s needs/preferences, so that both the client and their pets will be as happy as possible.

“Angela is a gem! I was planning a road trip with my 7.5 year old Norwegian Elkhound, Grayson (med. size) from Terre Haute, Indiana to Clinton, NY to visit family just recently in October of 2025. There were a lot of pieces of the of the puzzle to figure out and I started my internet and calling search in August. I was going to be staying at my mother's Senior apartment complex, celebrating her 87th birthday, but they do not allow visiting/staying dogs. My brother lives nearby but due to teenagers coming and going and having a small dog I needed to find other accommodations for Grayson. I called, emailed and options were few and far between. Some boarding kennels were too expensive or already booked, or had rules that the dog must stay until final pickup. Independent pet/home sitters not on Rover did not return emails. I needed to be able to take Grayson out a couple of times during the trip so that my mom could see Grayson as well as enjoy some of the Clinton fun spots with him while there. I also needed to pick Grayson up for the weekend to visit relatives in Massachusetts, then return him for another pet stay the next week. Angela was literally the last person I reached out to (having never used Rover and was unsure at first to use the service) and she got what I was trying to accomplish! We had seamless communication through Rover for initial Q & A and then had a couple of video chats to confirm that this was a match! The Rover app is similar to Airbnb where communication, reservations, and payment are done over the platform. When it was time for travel, Angela let us know she was ready for us! Grayson stayed with Angela Monday through Friday with a mid-week pick up for an afternoon, then picked up Grayson for the weekend getaway visiting relatives. Then Grayson spent Monday through Wednesday of the next week with Angela. Let me just say Grayson fell in love with Angela and Angela fell in love with Grayson! Angela is very attentive with all the details, and all the things you bring to make your pup comfortable (meds, crate, blankets, etc all was handled with care!) Grayson loved all the walks and attention she gave him! It was fun making the drive from Clinton to Angela's, about a 30 min. drive and her town is so pretty, especially with the fall colors and stopping at the local museum and produce stands was so enjoyable. I felt totally comfortable the whole trip that Grayson was well cared for. Angela went the extra mile with lots of attention, walks, brushing and getting an extra bone when I forgot mine. Without Angela, this road trip would not have happened as I really wanted to bring Grayson and have my mom see him as time marches on and wanted mom to see Grayson before any more time went by. Angela made my dream trip come true! Grayson and I even had a side trip to Niagara Falls and I will remember this trip forever! I plan to do this roundtrip again and will definitely book Angela again! I recommend Angela as an exceptional pet/home sitter! For any travelers out there with itineraries like mine, you will be in great hands with Angela! Thank you, Angela, your care for Grayson totally warmed my heart! Your service and care were impeccable! When I set up the next road trip, I will be in touch! Kris A, Terre Haute, Indiana”
“Ashley took great care of my golden doodle over the Holiday period! Updates were frequent and had lots of pictures, there was lots of room to run and play and all round Thor had a blast!”
“Jenna is amazing with animals. I have never been able to leave my pup and feel comfortable. He's a dog with many needs, medical, behavioral you name it. He gets into tons of trouble. She was able to keep him safe qnd happy and he got a ton if exercise and attention just like he was at home. We have even tried a doggy daycare and he was hurt while we were away. Jenna kept him safe. We will be using her again next month!”
“Christine and Matthew took such great care of Shiba. They treated her like part of their family and made sure she felt comfortable and loved the entire stay. I got regular updates and photos, and I felt completely at ease knowing she was in such good hands. Shiba came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. I would absolutely book with Christine and Matthew again and recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy, caring sitters!”
“I cannot say enough amazing things about our experience with Becky! From our first interaction, it was clear how genuinely caring, responsible, and attentive they were. She took the time to get to know our dog’s personality and little quirks, which immediately put us at ease. Throughout the stay, we received consistent updates, photos, and thoughtful check-ins that made it so easy to relax knowing our pup was in such great hands. It honestly felt like our dog was on their own little vacation. What really stood out was the level of detail and effort. Becky and her daughter went above and beyond in every way. Whether it was sticking to her feeding and supplement schedules, making sure our dog got plenty of love and attention, extra attention to her needs (it was a change of seasons aka shedding time and they gave her lots of extra care and brushing to keep her comfortable!), it was all so appreciated. It’s not easy to trust someone with your pet, but I would 100% book Becky again without hesitation and recommend her to absolutely anyone. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your dog like their own, you’ve found the one!”
“Prior to booking Kara, I hadn’t used Rover in years and was nervous about leaving my dog in the care of another person—we’re attached at the hip. However, I couldn’t have booked a better person. Kara is extremely communicative and caring, and had plenty of space for my pup to run around and explore. She asked lots of clarifying questions prior to booking, and I could tell she really enjoyed and remained curious about the personality of my dog! I received lots of pictures and quick responses. My energetic Staffordshire Terrier, Toto, enjoyed a long weekend of naps and sunshine, and returned to me vibrant as ever! Kara’s awesome care eased any worries I might have had, and I highly recommend her to anyone who might also be a reluctant helicopter parent like I am! If this if your first Rover rodeo, you can proceed with confidence, which is an amazing feeling to have.”

“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!”
“Lorinda was simply amazing! She came to pick up Nova on time and consistently sent Nova's photos and videos. She is very passionate and patient with puppies as well. Having her service was a great experience for me, and I will definitely trust her again on my next trip to care for my baby.”
“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.”
“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.”
“I cannot say enough good things about the fantastic experience I received working with Gil. He took care of my girl like she was his own. He was in contact with me throughout the stay, making me feel very at ease, and comfortable.”
“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.”
“Research & clinical shadowing outside of NY meant I had to find a pet boarder this summer for my cat. I wanted to make sure he was left in good hands; Tyler was an outstanding sitter for my Mango 🥭🐈 Tyler took care of Mango like his own: taking him to vet visits, making sure to play with him, & sending me frequent updates. Thank you so much Tyler!”
“Cassandra was amazing with my Sophia who is an older dog with a few senior issues. We were kept in the loop every day on how she was adjusting to her new sitter ( including pictures) and that made me feel confident we made a great choice. I would hope Cassandra will agree to watch Sophia again when she needs boarding. Anne”
“Katie has been amazing on keeping me up to date on how my puppers was doing/adjusting. She sent photos for a few updates as well!! We will be back again and I know Maple is already excited to get back there!”
