“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.”
“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!”
“We can’t speak highly enough about Angela! She loves having our Remmie stay with her, just as much as Remmie loves to be there!! Having someone that loves your dog as much as you do brings a great comfort level when we need to be out of town! She is amazing!!!”
“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 have booked with Jenna before... our experience was so good and easy, we came back for another round. Satisfied customer yet again! My pup is always so happy when he gets there, and doesn't seem to want to leave! He loves his buddy Stitch (Jenna's pup). Jenna is also really accommodating to pick up and drop offs. Just another happy customer. Thank you Jenna!”
“We are extremely pleased with the care that Laura offered for our Bailey. Laura communicated with us during Bailey’s stay with her providing us with peace of mind that Bailey was in good hands and doing well. We definitely would love to use her again and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter.”
“Lauren was very accommodating with my last minute booking request. She took amazing care of my dog Winnie, sent lots of pictures and updates. I think my dog actually wanted to stay with Lauren’s family longer, she had such a great time :)”
“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! ❤️❤️❤️”
“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.”
About: I’m a farm girl with a lifetime of experience caring for animals of all shapes and sizes! I was a dog and cat bather for my very first job role. I’m a registered Animal Specialist with a focus on equine. I have a deep love for senior pets and their special care needs—but I’m just as excited to keep up with young pups and their zoomies. Let me know your fur baby’s unique needs so I can provide the best care while keeping their routine on track. I’m available early mornings, late afternoons, and evenings to fit your pet’s routine. Keeping their schedule consistent helps ensure a happy, stress-free day for both of you! I’m happy to help with medications and any special care your pet needs. Just provide detailed instructions, and I’ll make sure everything is followed exactly to keep your furry friend happy and healthy!
“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”
“Gil was so great with our Lulu !!! He was awesome to communicate with before and during her stay. We set up a meet beforehand and he asked lots of thoughtful questions to make sure he understood her care. Lulu had long walks in the country while she was with him and lots of snuggles - just what she loves ! When we picked her up she was so relaxed and happy. Couldn’t ask for anyone better to watch our girl ?”
“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.”
“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.”
“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!”
About: I don't remember a time when I haven't had an animal in my life! I grew up with both cats and dogs and enjoy taking care of both! Family members, neighbors, and friends have had me watch their pets of all ages and breeds from puppies to senior dogs and yorkipoos to labs! My favorite breeds are golden retrievers and black cats! I love playing with pets and giving them the love and attention they deserve! I recently moved back home to the Syracuse area and looking to spend some time with pets in my free time while I'm searching through the job market! Happy to come to you and your pet to give them the care they need! All I need is clear instructions to provide care and I’ll be excited to shower your pet with attention and affection!

“Morghan again provided exceptional care!! As always, she is dependable and provides reliable service. I never worry as she keeps tabs on everything, from the animals, the house, and including a faulty CO2 monitor in the motorhome. She was quick to alert me to it despite it being outside her scope of duties. I never have to worry when I'm away and she's in charge! Thanks again Morghan!”
“Alexandria is amazing with our cats, this is our third time booking her. We get daily updates and the cutest pictures of the cats! She’s fantastic and we never have to worry about them when we travel as she takes great care of them!”
“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.”
“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”

Have taken care of family, friends, and neighbors pets as well as house sat while pet sitting. I have also worked on a family sheep farm and a friend's horse farm. I have been relied on to feed, walk and play with cats and dogs. I have been been responsible for changing bedding and bathe pets when required. I work and have school during the week and on Saturdays. I am available to take care of animals in the morning and evening/night. If I have a break in my schedule I can take check on and care for the pets during the afternoon. In my home I have a specific diet my cat follows and a routine for her everyday. When I house or pet sit, I follow the directions given to me by the owners. I always request there be a specific vet or emergency number to call in case of emergencies.
About: I have had dogs in my house for the past 17 years. I am looking to care for your animals and show them love and joy. I enjoy being around animal friends very much. I am a very big animal lover. I love cuddling animals and making them feel loved.

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! Whether it be stopping over for a quick visit or staying over night I have a lot of flexibility and availability in my schedule. Due to having 2 cats of my own and a small apartment, I am unable to keep an animal overnight in my home. However, if I were to stay overnight in a client’s home I would be sure to follow the exact directions that are given to me in order to provide the best possible care for their furry children.
“Gabriella dropped in to look after our 2 cats for us. She was very professional and even agreed to extend the booking by two days. I would definitely book with her again.”
“I had a great experience with drop-in visits! He met all expectations, communicated consistently, and sent pictures every time. I will definitely be asking him back next time I go out of town. Highly recommend!”
“Kenzie was great! We had her drop in a few times for our Chico- and she did exactly what we needed. She sent us pics and report cards after each visit. We loved it! And will definitely use her again.”
“Anna was great. I have a scaredy cat and she was able to get him to warm up to her. My cats also had medication that she was able to give to the cats as well. We will definitely hire her again.”

“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!”
“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…”

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.

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 am an avid animal lover who owns two dogs (a 5 year old cocker spaniel-poodle along with a 3 year old cocker spaniel-poodle). My animals are my life and I love meeting other fur babies :) I take my own dogs on walks and car rides nearly daily and I have been trusted to care for my extended families’ pets as well. I am very protective over all of my animals, making sure they’re safe and healthy, but I also spoil them with treats often. I feel I am very prepared to take care of other people’s animals because I understand the importance fur babies are in people’s lives, and I would do everything I can to protect them like they’re my own. I do work at Kelberman Monday-Friday 8-4, but I am available to stop in before or after work as long as I have a proper notice. At my own home, I have a fenced in yard where I play fetch with my dogs for HOURS. I love a good walk and love taking dogs for walks :)
About: I live in Waterville and would love to watch your fur babies. I have had a dog my whole life mostly labs but I really enjoy dogs and watching their interactions with humans and with other pets. My pups go everywhere with me especially on hikes they are troopers. Wouldn't mind having some other dogs to accompany us. I am currently working full time from home with a flexible schedule. I take my dogs for walks around the neighborhood on breaks and lunches. I have a large back yard with a lot of room to play ball or to fetch. I have other friendly playful dogs that would love to have some play mates.
About: I’ve taken care of everything from small cats to wolf dogs. I will be able to take care of your pets, they will be happy with me.

I care for your pets by going by whatever schedule or rules you set out. No matter what, I will do my best to make sure they are happy and safe.
About: I grew up with dogs and now own 4 of my own. I have volunteered at a local shelter to walk and play with their dogs. And I’m in the process of becoming a professional dog trainer. I have raised 3 puppies so I am able to potty train and do basic obedience I am currently working part-time so I’ll have plenty of time to walk and play with your dog(s). I am also available for drop-ins to take your dog(s) out during the day if needed I have a large fenced in yard and live on 5 acres. I have access to state and farm lands close by with a lot of nature trails that is great for any reactive dogs.

About: I’ve lived and taken care of dogs and cats my whole life and have had multiple temporary dog sitting jobs. Jobs including; walking, feeding, bathing, etc. I’m working part time but am free many days of the week. I’m available mostly in the afternoon and night hours. If needed, I am able to work around some mornings. I have a fenced in yard in which my dogs run freely around.

“Alexxis is amazing! She’s on time, reliable, and wonderful with my pup. She’s been great when I’ve needed a quick schedule change or with any special needs my dog has. She’s the best”
About: I've taken care of dogs most of my life. My friends jokingly call me the dog whisperer. I have experience with everything from potty training to surgical rehab and medicine administration. Nighttime visits and Long walks are no sweat. I'm also very neat and clean so any messes made by your pups are no problem at all. My schedule is currently open 7 days a week. If for any reason I am not available pet owners will be made aware before scheduling any services. I recently lost both my pups to cancer. Thorn was almost 15, and my girl Rain was almost 13. Being around other dogs is helping me cope with their loss. My home yard is very large (over an acre), and fully fenced in. Dogs also don't have any furniture restrictions in my home. They're welcome to sit or sleep wherever they like. If sitting in your home I abide by your rules for everything. Dinner time, kinds of treats, or walks schedules are all set by you.
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.

“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!”
“We can’t speak highly enough about Angela! She loves having our Remmie stay with her, just as much as Remmie loves to be there!! Having someone that loves your dog as much as you do brings a great comfort level when we need to be out of town! She is amazing!!!”
“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 have booked with Jenna before... our experience was so good and easy, we came back for another round. Satisfied customer yet again! My pup is always so happy when he gets there, and doesn't seem to want to leave! He loves his buddy Stitch (Jenna's pup). Jenna is also really accommodating to pick up and drop offs. Just another happy customer. Thank you Jenna!”
“Lauren was very accommodating with my last minute booking request. She took amazing care of my dog Winnie, sent lots of pictures and updates. I think my dog actually wanted to stay with Lauren’s family longer, she had such a great time :)”
“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.”

“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”
“Gil was so great with our Lulu !!! He was awesome to communicate with before and during her stay. We set up a meet beforehand and he asked lots of thoughtful questions to make sure he understood her care. Lulu had long walks in the country while she was with him and lots of snuggles - just what she loves ! When we picked her up she was so relaxed and happy. Couldn’t ask for anyone better to watch our girl ?”
“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.”
“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.”
“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!”
About: I don't remember a time when I haven't had an animal in my life! I grew up with both cats and dogs and enjoy taking care of both! Family members, neighbors, and friends have had me watch their pets of all ages and breeds from puppies to senior dogs and yorkipoos to labs! My favorite breeds are golden retrievers and black cats! I love playing with pets and giving them the love and attention they deserve! I recently moved back home to the Syracuse area and looking to spend some time with pets in my free time while I'm searching through the job market! Happy to come to you and your pet to give them the care they need! All I need is clear instructions to provide care and I’ll be excited to shower your pet with attention and affection!
“I am so grateful for the care that Ninja revived! Chelsea did a great job and Ninja felt right at home. I really appreciated the photos that were shared during his stay. It gave me peace of mind knowing he was well cared for. Highly recommended!”
“Amber was lovely and super attentive to Rizzo's needs before and during their time together! She sent plenty of pictures and updates and he seemed very happy to play with Kegan the whole weekend. Will definitely look to send Rizzo her way again!”
