“Sue was the absolute best! We had a very unique situation where we really wanted our dog, Maui, to be a part of our wedding day and weren’t from the area so we were unsure how to find someone that could pick him up from the venue while we were getting married and board him overnight. Sue went above and beyond to pick him up and board him. Sue also kept us updated with how Maui was doing and he had a great time playing with her cockapoo Ninny! Highly recommend Sue to anyone in need of dog boarding!”
“We were very happy with Mike and Amy, they took great care of our girl Luna. Luna got along well with their dog Bear, and had a great time with him. Luna felt right at home there. Mike sent plenty of updates with pictures which was nice.”
“I booked with Natt for a last minute thanksgiving trip and I’m glad I was able to have her watch my dog Coco for me while I was gone. The communication from start to end was great all the daily updates on my dog and the picture mail was amazing my dog was well taken care of I appreciate and thank you for everything. I will be booking again in the future.”
“Once again Gillian and family went above and beyond taking care of Cooper. He was there for almost 2 weeks, with eye medication and a limited appetite; Gillian didn’t hesitate to say yes to watching Cooper, making him his own meals some days, rinsing his eyes and figuring out the best way to put the eye drops in. I always know that Coop is getting the best care and being treated just like part of the family. Thank you so much Gillian, Mitch and all the pups that make him feel at home. 🩷”
“Samantha and her partner were absolutely amazing. They are the best sitters I have met by far. I 10000/10 recommend. Samantha updated me throughout my dog's stay. I will definitely rebook.”
“Our dog had a terrific time at Kirsten and Mark’s house. They were great- made time to schedule a meet and greet before the stay which was perfect for our nervous girl. Great communication, lovely backyard, so friendly… we will use them again!”
“Excellent communication and lots of pix of our nervous pup getting along well with their two dogs. A lot of peace of mind, knowing dog lovers are taking such good care of our dog while we are gone. We’ve already rebooked.”
“Anna was absolutely amazing with my dog during his overnight stay! She’s very communicative, caring, and clearly passionate about what she does. From the meet-and-greet, I knew my pup was in great hands. She even sent him home with a thoughtful doggy bag, which was such a sweet touch. Highly recommend!”
“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!”
“Kimberly was so kind to take Toby my 19-lb Havenese dog very last minute! I have a bad wrist fracture and was not able to take care of him properly. She took such great care of him with only hours’ notice. I will definitely use her services again!”
“Tiffany took a really good care of our puppy; I was happy to hear that she is home all day since he was not left alone. I was nervous to leave our puppy in somebody's else home for 10 days but there were no issues. He had a blast with his new friends and we had a great communication. I recommend Tiffany!”
“Brad and Mery are wonderful people who treat our dog like family. We are so grateful to have them. Our dog loves being with Brad and Mery so much that he doesn’t want to leave!”
“It is always so comforting to know that Bailey is in good hands when we go visit our family. She keeps us informed and sends pictures. This is the fourth time we have used Brigid and Bailey seems to feel just as comfortable there as he does at home. Thank you Bridgit!”
About: My name is Heidi and I have loved working with animals my entire life! I went to school for veterinary science but, unfortunately, I dont have the stomach for it. I grew up with rotties, a Shepard and I used to have have a Yorkshire terrier so I'm comfortable with pups of all ages and sizes. I also have always had cats so I'm more than comfortable with them as well. Building up trust and relationship with the animals I work with is one of the best feelings in the world. I do work Monday through Friday and due to recent changes have no availability before 5pm. I'm more than willing to come to a meet up before the sit date to make sure all connections are good! I do work Monday through Friday from 8am to 5pm and have no availability durring that time. I can watchbyour pet overnight on weekends as long as theyre capable of being alone for that time frame. I do have open availability on weekends. Please tell me any guidless, rules or typical schedules for your pet so I can keep things as comfortable as possible for them. Routines are respected as much as possible.
“I never worry about Shadow when she is with her sitter. I can relax and enjoy myself because I know she is being well cared for, very fortunate to have found such a wonderful sitter.”
“Lori has a positive spirit and was fantastic with our boy. She went above and beyond to make sure we had a smooth transition and experience for our furry family member while we were away. Thank you, Lori!”
“Jack did a great job taking care of our dog during our week long vacation. He kept us updated by sending pictures and videos. He picked up and dropped off our dog which was very convenient. He also administered his medication. We highly recommend Jack.”
“We don’t let anyone else watch our French bulldog. David takes her for plenty of walks, gives her lots of attention, and makes sure she gets her medication. She’s very happy with David, as are we!”
“Jillian was great. She was available at a very short notice and didn’t hesitate to take on a big dog. Even when my dog wasn’t behaving she was able to handle the situation appropriately and reassured me everything was fine. I appreciate her patience with a more challenging dog. Daily updates, pictures and what they did during day set my mind at ease. I recommend anyone to use especially for first timers. Thank you Jillian, you’re fantastic.”
“Kathleen took excellent care of my chihuahua, Cody. Over the course of a month, I boarded him with her a few times each week, and I always felt confident he was in great hands. She was responsive, kind, and incredibly patient, not just with my (very energetic!) chihuahua 🙃, but with me as well. I’m so grateful for the care she provided and would highly recommend Kathleen to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter.”

“Heidi was wonderful! She took the best care of our four cats while we were away! And coming back home, we could tell that the cats were well loved and taken care of. We can tell that they were happy and didn’t show any signs of stress from us leaving. Heidi also left everything clean and orderly. She was also was very communicative and sent pictures of them daily. I highly recommend her! We will definitely work with her again. Thank you, Heidi!”
“Sue was the absolute best!! She made sure my kitties were well taken care of and happy. Great communication and I am so happy my fur babies got some human love while I was away. As a borderline crazy cat lady, it means the world to me that she was able to step in and provide excellent care.”

“Kasey was great! Would leave my girls anytime with her. She kept in contact with us. I definitely will use her services in the future. I felt confident leaving them with her before I left, we communicated quite a bit before our trip. My dogs were happy to see us when we got home, but I can tell they were happy and well cared for when I was not here....Amy Rickard”
“Juliana was a fantastic dog sitter ! She was really prompt with communication, sent pictures of my pets, and overall was incredibly professional. She also let me know when small accidents happened, like when my dog knocked over a houseplant while he was playing or when he chewed on his leash. She was patient and did GREAT with my large, high energy 2 year old poodle. I’m very grateful to have a resource like her nearby and I look forward to hiring her again”

About: I am currently attending SUNY Cobleskill and am in the Animal Science Bachelor of Science program. I'm planning on becoming a vet!

We felt totally comfortable with her caring for our pup and will definitely book with her again in the future.”

About: Raised a well trained border collie in high school and recently fostered a puppy that became a service dog through Dogs For Better Lives. We trained it for 14 months to prepare for service training. Typically the professional training takes 4-6 months but our boy graduated in 2.5. I love short, fun training sessions and consistency. I was a solo traveler living the vanlife but am back home helping my folks in Maryland. I love dogs but owning one would radically change my lifestyle. I’m hoping that through Rover I can still have some dog time on the road and take some good boys and girls for adventures outdoors. Primarily I like to do drop-in visit for walks and short training sessions. Once we build a rapport, I’d like to do hikes and overnight adventures.
About: What sets me apart is my calm, patient approach and my attention to each cat’s individual personality and needs. I understand that cats thrive on consistency and trust, so I focus on creating a stress-free environment where they feel safe and comfortable while their owner is away. I’m experienced with: - Kittens and young cats, including reinforcing litter box habits, play-based enrichment, and gentle socialization. - Senior cats who may need extra patience, slower routines, medication support, or close monitoring for changes in behavior or appetite. - Shy, anxious, or independent cats, giving them space when needed while still building trust at their pace. - Maintaining feeding schedules, clean litter boxes, and keeping homes tidy and secure. I also prioritize communication by sending regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident that their cat is happy and well cared for. My goal is always to provide reliable, compassionate care tailored to each cat’s unique needs.
“Tatiana was consistently reliable the same time every day while taking care of my 2 cats. I got photos and an update about their antics which made being away easier.?”
“Elizabeth performed brilliantly -- she completed all requests without fail and provided plenty of photographic and written responses. She was timely in arranging service initially. And she managed the visits and house key drop-off well. We appreciated her willingness to commit to providing care with short notice. Thanks!”

“So happy to find such a great home for Sunny to visit while we’re gone — and only 11-minutes away. We could tell on our “meet & greet” visit that Sue and her pup & cat would get along well with ours. Sue send pix and a video today, and I could tell Sunny was very happy there. When I picked her up at the end of the day, it was obvious they were all happy together. Looking forward to many more visits and overnights!”

“Exceptional people! They are extremely responsive and were very welcoming. We set up a meet and greet to make sure Sheba would get along with Bear which made me feel comfortable that I was leaving Sheba in good, capable hands. I get several updates throughout the day which is awesome and they are very flexible with times. 10/10 would recommend to a friend or anyone that needs doggy daycare. Thanks for being awesome guys!”
“Our Marcie came home nice and tired, and didn't seem stressed at all. Mikayla has other pets that are friendly and sociable, so we are of course happy to have our dog have the opportunity to play and socialize with them.”

About: I am comfortable with all breeds and sizes and will be sure to make your pup feel at home! I work from home and can give lots of attention. I also have a large open yard for play, enclosed kennel space as well, and a small dog for added socialization. I work from home and my own dog stays with me throughout the day. I do regular bathroom breaks, have access to water, and when the weather is nice get out for frequent walks. I have a shaded outdoor kennel should the weather be nice enough for my dog to have some extra outdoor time or use the screened in porch. Lots of options for your pup to get all they need. Your pet will follow the same schedule as my pup based on the time your pet is with me. Morning bathroom break, feeding (if applicable), time with me while I work, regular bathroom breaks during the day, end of work day feeding (if applicable), bathroom break before bedtime, and crated overnight. During nice weather I like to get in 2-3 walks; morning, lunch, and evening. This schedule can be modified based on your pets needs.
“Anna went above and beyond for our boy Glaciers first time away from us! Not only was she accommodating on pick up time, but gave us updates along the way to let us know how he was settling. We appreciate all your extra efforts in making us feel comfortable, and your warm demeanor. We can’t thank you enough, and on top of it all G was given an adorable take home bag with goodies! 💕”
“Nat is amazing! She is super friendly and I appreciated how patient she was with my dog. The communication was also excellent and prompt. I loved that she sent photos with updates. Thanks again Nat!!”
“Willow was super tired and had a great time. Kirsten and Mark knew just how to handle our high-anxiety dog. Their property is like Disney Land for dogs! Tons of space and places to explore and run around in safely. Their dogs are super friendly and welcomed Willow into their pack easily. We recommend Kirsten and Mark highly!”
“Luna had a great day with Brad and Mery. They’re very friendly caring folks and have a really nice house and yard to watch your favorite canine companions. We’d be happy to have her spend time with them anytime!”
About: As a child I grew up with the love of pets especially dogs. Grew up with pugs, rottweilers, and husky's. I am a huge dog lover and will make sure I take great care of your pet. I have a very nice house with plenty of space to play, along with a large yard. I have 4 children who have an absolute love for animals, they would be great playmates for your pet! I will be sure to walk, play, feed/water, bathe, and most of all make your pet feel loved! I will make your pet feel like they are home away from home..that they are loved and taken care of. Thank You. I'm currently working part-time and have a flexible schedule so I can make sure I find the time to care for your pet as needed. I have 4 friendly children who would love to make your pet feel loved and safe. I also have a very friendly dog myself named Lady!
“Gillian and Mitch and their four pups are absolutely amazing. They were so welcoming of Biscuit, who fit right in with the pack and had a blast. Came home completely tired and ready for dinner and sleep! Gillian kept me posted if his activities throughout the day. We will definitely go back to her.”
“Bob was wonderful! We have a very active and young golden doodle who spent the day with Bob while we skied at Windham Mountain for a week in February. Bob was extremely kind and professional and I would recommend without hesitation.”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my decades of hands-on experience and deep understanding of animal care. With over 43 years caring for cats and 25+ years caring for dogs, I’ve worked with pets of all ages, from energetic puppies and kittens to senior and ailing animals requiring patience, specialized care, and medication management. I don’t just provide basic pet sitting—I create an environment where pets feel safe, loved, and truly at home, whether they stay with me or I care for them in their own space. Beyond my personal experience, I’ve also taken dog training class whenever introducing a new pet into my home, ensuring I understand their unique behaviors, training needs, and the best ways to support them. I know that young, high-energy pets need enrichment and engagement, while older or anxious animals require gentle attention, consistency, and compassion. My work-from-home schedule allows me to supervise pets 100% of the time, and my services include everything from snuggles and playtime to feeding, medications, and regular updates with photos and videos. I prioritize individualized care, making sure every pet feels comfortable, happy, and truly part of the family. I currently work from home Saturday through Tuesday, which means those are the days I offer boarding, and I’ll be in the house 100% of the time with your fur babies. I’m available for boarding on Fridays after 6 PM, with pick-up by Tuesday at 9 PM. If you need accommodations outside of these times, exceptions may be possible—we can discuss based on both my schedule, the pet, and your needs. I offer comprehensive, personalized pet care both in my home and in my clients’ homes, ensuring every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether your pet stays with me or I care for them in their own familiar space, they will receive plenty of snuggles, affection, and one-on-one attention. My services include feeding, medication administration, enrichment activities, playtime (indoor or outdoor as needed), and maintaining their daily routines to minimize stress. I also keep you connected with regular photos and videos, so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry friend is happy and well cared for. Every pet is unique, and I take the time to understand their needs—whether it’s extra cuddle time, mental stimulation, or specialized care—so they feel truly at home, no matter where they are.
“Our pup has not done a lot of doggy day care, but she seemed to really enjoy her time with Tiffany and her dogs. Tiffany sent great pictures and updates. Which was nice for us nervous dog parents. Definitely going to be a repeat customer.”
“I am so grateful to Kim for watching my dog for daycare. Tuna had a great time hanging out with resident pup, Bella; they ran around in the enclosed back patio and she got to hang outside on the deck which is her favorite pastime while waiting for me to pick her up after work. Kim's son took her on multiple walks each day, including first thing in the morning which gave me peace of mind and made our morning that much easier. I could tell Tuna liked spending the day there which is super important to me; we'd love to be a repeat client due to our positive experience!”

About: I’ve done overnight and day visits with dogs and cats for years and do multiple days during the week now for a family member. I work well with large and small dogs. I am available all days of the week and have a very flexible class schedule so can easily fit in a visit with your pup! I am available for overnights every night as well! I have babysat for people who have both fenced and non fenced yards so I can easily work with leash using dogs. I myself have much experience with stubborn and large dogs on leashes so can handle tough pups!
About: I've been an animal lover for as long as I can remember, and gained a lot of experience caring for my own family pets, then started pet sitting and working with horses as a teenager. After spending most of young adult life working with horses, I went back to college to get a degree that would allow me to become a Licensed Veterinary Technician. I worked in companion animal (dogs and cats) practice for a number of years before taking a "real" job that allowed me more time for my own pets. I've found I love my new job and schedule, but miss having as much animal interaction. I'd be delighted to provide care for your dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs (and other pocket pets) as well as horses and other large animals.
About: I have many years of experience working with dogs of all sizes. Enjoy walking dogs. Will care for your dog and treat them as family. I’m able to take care of your animal during day, evening or even for overnight. I’m always walking dogs and pet sitting cats and dogs. I will follow instructions for what is needed. Will keep animals safe and ensure that any animals that are not allowed outside don’t go outside. I will play with animals, empty litter box, and ensure they are safe before leaving.
About: I'm a Certified Professional Dog Trainer, Knowledge Assessed (CPDT-KA), and I have over 15 years of working with dogs in veterinary clinics, humane societies, boarding kennels, grooming parlors, and most recently, managing a doggy daycare and teaching classes for a dog training institution. I own 13 acres of woods and fields that allows for dogs to run and play, though boarders use long lines for safety. Each dog who comes into my home will retain basic manners, including waiting at doors, loose leash walking skills, and come when called commands. I'm experienced with and capable of handling under-socialized or even aggressive dogs. I simply work with dogs on an individualized basis, to develop appropriate relationships with each pet. I love dogs, all dogs, and they tend to love me back.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs ever since I could remember. I love them so much. Everyone calls me the dog whisperer whenever they need a helping hand with their fur babies. I do charge an additional fee for gas, due to gas prices being so high and the high intake I receive from my guests. I currently work part time but I’m available usually after 9am throughout the week. I do work weekends usually but I can be flexible with stopping in the morning and evenings times for your fur babies. I am temporarily in a transition moving right now, for the Army National Guard. I am living at Home until I receive my new orders. So I will come to you for any of your visits you need for your fur babies!
About: I have taken care of cats and dogs ever since I was 10 years old and raised them since they were babies. I will treat your fur family as if they were my own. I am currently in school, but I have plenty of time to care for your fur babies! I am available weekdays after 2pm and weekends. I have my own transportation. I am flexible and reliable. I will follow your rules. I will treat your fur family like one of my own!
About: I’ve owned dogs ever since I was 8, and I’ve always loved and cared for them with no question. I love to feed, walk, bathe, and just hangout with dogs. Can’t wait to meet all of your pups!!! I’m currently a full time online college student that sets her own schedule! I am pretty open and free all day to hangout with pups! I have a large fenced yard and I always bring running shoes because I know some dogs love to play! And some even love to try and make escapes, which is why I’ll always have treats and commands ready!
About: I grew up with dogs and cats, so animals have always been a natural part of my life. Whether it's a bouncy puppy who needs extra patience and play, or a houseful of pets with different personalities, I'm completely in my element. I'm experienced handling high-energy dogs and juggling multiple pets at once — keeping everyone happy, safe, and on their routine is something I genuinely enjoy. Pet owners can feel at ease knowing their fur babies are in the hands of someone who treats them like my own. I'm attentive, reliable, and will always keep you updated with photos and check-ins so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing! I'm a teacher so until June 26, I can only do from 3:30 on during the week and then free on weekends. After June 26th I'm only working part time 8-11am Tuesdays and Thursdays so I'm available anytime after that! I am willing to bring pets to my moms if needed. I have an apartment and an animal of my own so my moms would be the better option. She has a quiet/comfortable home and a decent sized yard!
“Lianna was wonderful! I knew my fur baby was being well taken care of. She knew I was anxious leaving my baby so she sent me multiple pictures of every outing so I could see how Tessie was? She was prompt, fed Tessie and made sure she took her medicine everyday for her chronic condition. I highly recommend Lianna if you are in need of pet sitter/walker. I have already booked her again for my next out of town trip when I cannot take my baby.”
“We are looking forward to booking Elizabeth again! She responded quickly to a last minute booking and was prompt with all communication. We could tell from her walk photos and description that our dog had a great time!”

“Mikayla was super accommodating to our hectic schedule and helped work around some funny times that we had.

“Jillian was great. She was available at a very short notice and didn’t hesitate to take on a big dog. Even when my dog wasn’t behaving she was able to handle the situation appropriately and reassured me everything was fine. I appreciate her patience with a more challenging dog. Daily updates, pictures and what they did during day set my mind at ease. I recommend anyone to use especially for first timers. Thank you Jillian, you’re fantastic.”

I’m so grateful for the care she provided and would highly recommend Kathleen to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter.”
