About: I take pride in my work and strive to treat each and every animal I care for as I would my own personal pets. I personally understand how difficult it can be to trust someone with your furry family members and do my best to make the experience as amazing as possible for both pets and pet parents. I have worked in the pet care industry for over ten years now. I began dog walking in NYC, then managed a luxury boarding/daycare facility for dogs in East Syracuse. Since then I have also branched out into working in animal rescue as well. I also am currently pursuing a certification in dog training. I currently work for myself so my hours are flexible. I can accommodate dog walking most mornings, afternoons and nights. I currently offer in home boarding but limit it to three dogs per night to ensure the best quality of care. I understand that allowing someone into your home to care for your pet can be nerve racking, so I strive to be as mindful of this as possible. Some of the ways I ensure I do this are by speaking with the client before hand to go over anything specific they need done, entering the home in a safe and respectful manner, greeting the pet I'm caring for with enthusiasm, creating a bond with them & making the experience as fun and stress free as possible.
“This is my 3rd time leaving our precious pup with Daniel & his wife. They are such kind people and I always feel comfortable with leaving my pup with them. They are very professional and have great communication.”

“Sandra was a great sitter! She was incredibly caring and attentive to all of Duke's needs. She kept us informed on his stay with them and sent lots of pictures. She was very friendly and reliable. Duke had a great time! Highly recommended!”

“I am super new to Rover, Andrea helped every step of the way. I am very grateful for how kind and thoughtful she was. She was very good with Thor and he seemed like he had a nice time. Thank you so much would trust her again.”

“Chester was absolutely fabulous when we had him watch Rocco, our 100lb Catahoula Leopard Dog. My father passed way in a different state so we were trying to find someone to watch Rocco either in our home or theirs so we could attend services. He was a rescue a year ago and didn’t want to put him in a kennel or place where he would think he was being abandoned. After reading that Chester not only boards dogs in his home, but has a large property for long walks and a fenced in area for play, I felt confident contacting him. Chester was able to accommodate our last minute request and had a meet and greet that same day. Rocco met the other dog he was boarding at the time and being Rocco loves other dogs, he was excited to be there which made me feel even better. Having access to other rooms, I one this was the place for him. While away, Chester sent us pictures, videos, and a brief summary every day to let us know how Rocco was doing. We saw Rocco getting walks, playing with the other dogs, getting treats, playing with toys, and just relaxing. That put us at ease knowing Chester treated him like his own. I would definitely recommend Chester and we will definitely have Rocco there again one day.”

“kelly was incredibly accommodating to board my black lab despite the last minute request prior to a holiday weekend, particularly having no time to meet him prior. she offered flexibility for pickup and drop off times and was kind enough to meet me at home to ensure she was okay with his level of energy and excitement and transport him back to her apartment. i appreciated her easy-going nature and her willingness to administer his daily medication. also loved receiving the photos and updates she provided during his stay giving me the peace of mind to enjoy the weekend away...thank you, kelly!”
“First time using Rover and super apprehensive… but Alexis made the experience of leaving my puppy behind super comforting. I was kept updated on Khloe and what she was doing. Comments throughout the day which I appreciated. I definitely recommend Alexis and will use her again and again.”


“If you want your dog to have the best time of their lives I suggest you book with Jake and Mischa. I have no idea how these two do it but the amount of love, care and fun my little dude has with them is insane. I book with them almost 6 -9 times a year and never have any issues. Loves these two for all the hard work they put in to keep my pup entertained and happy!!!”
“Jack had a blast staying with Cristina, her family, and her dogs! She's an excellent communicator and sent us photos of Jack playing with her family :) Highly recommend her!!”
“So accommodating and friendly. This was our first time boarding, and pretty instantly we knew our pup was in good hands! The pictures were so appreciated, and we’re incredibly grateful for the care our dog was given.”

“This was the first time using Rover. I will absolutely trust Dawn to watch my Lily again. Dawn was understanding with me and my fears of leaving my pup. Her family was very welcoming as well. She went above and beyond on making her home pet friendly. I received many photos and videos to set my mind at ease. If 6 stars was option I would give it to her!”

“Beckie and her family were the perfect home away from home for our high-energy 2yo German Shepherd. She has a beautiful and massive back yard and provided photo updates throughout the stay. We’ll happily trust Beckie with Echo on future trips and highly recommend her!”

“John and his family took care of my two pups and did an awesome job. They sent updates and pictures everyday. Seeing how fast my pups took to his family says everything. I will definitely be using them again for all my boarding needs.”

“The BEST pugsitter in the universe. We have used them many times over the years and they always make sure our sweet Pancake is safe and warm. The only family that we trust enough to leave our precious pup with.”

“Francesca and John were wonderful! Buddy did very well during his stay. This was his first time ever boarding and I was nervous about how he would do since he is an older dog. They kept me updated all the time and assured me he was relaxed and not anxious. So glad we found them!”

“Sara was an absolutely perfect pet sitter!! She is very communicative and flexible. She sent us lots of pictures throughout the night and updates. Most importantly Wilson clearly had an amazing time time and we couldn’t be happier.100% recommend!!!”

“Alisa was such a good pet sitter! Trustworthy, kind and absolutely perfect for the job. I couldn’t be happier to find someone not only last minute but also great communication and passion for animals! Thank you Alisa!!”


“Paula was excellent. The cats warmed up to her in no time and she kept us updated everyday with pictures. The house was left very clean and neat. I would highly rebook and recommend her to anyone needing pet/house sitting.”


“We couldn’t ask for a better cat sitter! Lillie is incredibly communicative and always sends the most thoughtful, funny, and sweet updates — which means so much when you’re away and missing your kitties! She gives them tons of love, playtime, and attention. She’s also really attentive and quick to notice any changes in behavior or eating/drinking habits, which we really appreciate. We always feel completely at ease knowing our cats are in Lillie’s care!”


“I booked Alexis to visit and feed my cat Cillian while I was away. Alexis was very responsive when I communicated with her and she did a great job with looking after Cillian. He enjoyed her visits. We will definitely book her again.”

About: As an experienced and long time foster, I have cared for dogs in my home with varying needs and personalities. I provide lots of affection, as well as necessary structure, to ensure a balanced and fun stay for all. I also have a sweet, Boxer-mix Zoe (50 lbs), and a Sato from Puerto Rico named Ellie (15 lbs), who love their foster siblings, and boarding mates & love to play, cuddle, and bring them out of their shell, especially little dogs. I have a few years of experience with rescue dogs, including puppy mill dogs, and street rescues, because of that I'm very confident working with shy, nervous dogs that need a little more TLC. In my personal time, I work as the social media coordinator for a dog rescue, and walk dogs for a friend's dog company.

“Madelyn was wonderful and took great care of my fur baby even when my driveway was covered in snow and also helped us out over Christmas! Our cat is a needy boy and usually complains a lot when we leave but he didn’t seem to mind this time. Would definitely recommend!”

“We hired Kalyna for a home visit just to meet her and have her spend a little time getting to know our dog. Everything went great, and we hired her for a home visit next weekend. We look forward to working with her!”

“Quick reply, prompt visit, really good photos. When I got back, everything was in its right place and clean and fair. My dog seemed very happy as well. What more can I ask for? Also she did a tick check, which I didn't even think about for a quick walk. Very much appreciated. Thank you.”


“My first time ever leaving my to 2 cats with someone besides family to go away on vacation for 2 weeks. She took very good care of my girls and sent me photos along the way. I appreciate everything you did and hope I am still taken on as a client someday despite my very late pick up as I had advised her before I left. Late flights coming from city are the worst, ugh.”

“Kamber took incredible care of our two kitty cats on very short notice! She was very communicative, fast to respond, and empathetic to our fur babies. I would absolutely book her quality services again!”

“Nathaniel took care of my cat Ghost for an extended time over the holidays. He was extremely kind, helpful,and flexible as this was a last minute booking. Nathaniel communicated with me daily and sent pictures to let me know how Ghost was doing. He made accommodations for Ghost so that she would be comfortable and feel safe, as well as have the option to interact with his cats at her own pace. I highly recommend Nathaniel and will definitely book him again in the future!”

“Dawn was absolutely amazing with my 2 furs I left with her for the day. She made me feel very comfortable and my pups. She was so sweet to them. Sent a lot of pictures and videos. She was very kind and loving. My girls Hazel and Cocoa came back SO tired and didn't want to leave. Made everyone very happy :) 10/10 definitely recommend”

“Our casper felt comfortable with her instantly and kept us updated on him for the day we were out and even tried to go back with her for a second which confirmed he enjoyed her.”

“Alexis was a dream dog sitter. Her house is lovely with lots of space and a fenced in yard. She was also a great communicator, and I felt fully at ease leaving my pup in her care. I would definitely return the next time I need a sitter.”


“Jayne was an exceptional puppy sitter. She treated and loved Daisy as if she were her own. She sent photos to help pass the time and was overly accommodating. I will most definitely bring Daisy back for another visit soon. Thank you!”

“Emily & Andre respond right way and they sent me so many photos and even a video of my pup exploring their outdoor fenced yard space. I was worried before I got there because my puppy is 4 months old and very energetic, but they were able to keep her entertained and safe. My puppy played nicely with their dog and I got a photo of them sitting together. They did some training with my puppy and sent me a photo of her performing some of her tricks. They made me feel very reassured with their frequent updates that my puppy was in great hands. I'm taking her back for more doggie daycare tomorrow!”

“This was my first time leaving my dog for boarding and using the Rover app.Jonathon went above and beyond to take care of my dog I even ran out of food and he offered to run to the store to grab some more. Throughout the stay he updated me and sent pictures easing some of my anxiety. I now know I have someone that I can rely on and my dog will be taking good care of and I will be using.Jonathon for my future boarding needs! I’ve also recommended him to my friends as well.”

We provide lots of toys and treats to keep your dog happy and engaged, and our friendly miniature schnauzer enjoys making new canine friends (after a little welcoming bark or two!).

We have a spacious 8-acre property with long, groomed walking paths where dogs can explore and enjoy the outdoors, typically leashed for safety. Our back property is exceptionally private, featuring wide, flat open fields with no immediate neighbors and located well away from the road, providing a peaceful and secure environment. We also have a fenced play area where dogs can safely enjoy off-leash play and exercise. Inside, dogs are treated as part of the family and are welcome throughout our roomy and comfortable home. At night, they can relax and sleep in cozy dog beds located in quiet spare rooms, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and right at home during their stay.
“David was wonderful and very loving to my pet dog Patches. He was kind and calm and Patches took to him immediately. My pet usually doesn’t want to eat with sitters but David got him to eat no problem. I would highly recommend him!!!! Thank you David!!”

“It was my first time leaving my baby with anyone. Amy was very pleasant and my pup loved her the moment she came to greet him. He went crazy with her family and her own pups. I picked up a calm dog which is never the case with my baby, hes always extra excited to see me, so that means he was OK, he had fun and wasn't nervous/concerned while in her care which was a huge relieve for me. Looks like he had a good time there. Highly recommend.”

“Hila hosted Millie for a day and Millie had a great time. We are so happy Hila was available. Hila was also communicative and flexible with us. Millie Enjoyed playing with Hila’s dog Ruby too.”

“Christina was an excellent choice when we needed a dog sitter for Cassidy. We were in Pennsylvania to attend a family wake and funeral and went online to search for a dog day care. Christina was very professional when introducing our dog to her dogs - everything went very smoothly. We also received pictures during the day of Cassidy on a walk, eating dinner and laying on her bed relaxing. We knew our dog was in good hands shortly after meeting Christina just by watching her interact with our dog. All in all, having Christina take care of Cassidy was a positive experience for us and helped to make a family funeral easier to deal with, knowing our dog was safe and well taken care of. We would highly recommend anyone who is going through Milford, PA, to use Christina to take care of your dogs. Thanks, Christina for an awesome experience! Sue, Bill and Cassidy from NY”

“Alexis is THE BEST. She always comes through last minute and our dog Omelette loves her. I trust her completely with my girl and would recommend her to anyone. Thank you Alexis!”

I do rescues for a company that specializes in pit bulls. I love to spend time, play, teach and get to know the four legged friends. Life without cats, dogs and other furry animals would be really boring. It is an honor to be there to take care of your pet when you are in need. I'm happy to help with last minute emergencies.
“I'm so lucky to have Kamber as Bernie's dog walker! She's always on time and reliable, and she leaves my house neat and tidy. Bernie adores spending time with her and loves when her daughter comes along for extra playtime. Kamber is fantastic at taking care of Bernie. She's super careful and always looks for potential dangers, like other dogs or cars. Plus, she's been helping me train Bernie to be more comfortable around other pups when we're out for walks. I can't say enough good things about Kamber's communication skills. She's excellent at keeping me updated on everything with Bernie and is always on top of scheduling our appointments. I trust her completely and am happy to have her as our dog walker!”

“Kalyna, did an amazing job with bishop while I was away for the holidays. She is reliable and great with dogs. If you haven’t booked her yet. You need to stop thinking and BOOK HER NOW!!”

About: I've loved them all. From guinea pigs to rabbits, hamsters and ferrets, parrots and fish, cats and dogs. I have experience with dogs of many breeds, from German shepherds to Chihuahuas, newfoundlands and jack russells. I try and understand every dog breed to understand their unique needs. No dog is the same! But they all love unconditionally, so I try and give them the same. I have some training in puppies and have experience with puppies as well as elders. I've house sat in the pets homes where I know they are comfortable and can have their routines and environments. I just want to give each pet whatever it is they need. I have had pets since I was born, my first dog being a boxer. Almost never without a dog, but certainly never without a pet. Currently I have a german shepherd/collie mix named Blue. Even at six years old, he has the energy of a puppy! We run every day in a field nearby, sometimes visit the dog park, and have frequent visits with his dog friends. Making sure he is happy and healthy is a daily priority in my life. In the clients home, I get in depth information on their pets routines, food schedules and preparations, walking and play time, and whether they are crated or not. I will follow your instructions to a T.

“Natisha is a very rare find. If you’re wondering whether to book her or not do yourself and your fur babies a favor and just do it. We are two medical professionals and our schedules suddenly overlapped in a way that our bully girl needed someone to take care of her twice a week in the middle of the day. Natisha to the rescue! So responsive, so responsible, so punctual, so loving and caring to our girl! Now we’ve permanently retained her twice a week. Five stars isn’t enough stars for Natisha’s service.”

“I am super new to Rover, Andrea helped every step of the way. I am very grateful for how kind and thoughtful she was. She was very good with Thor and he seemed like he had a nice time. Thank you so much would trust her again.”

“Chester was absolutely fabulous when we had him watch Rocco, our 100lb Catahoula Leopard Dog. My father passed way in a different state so we were trying to find someone to watch Rocco either in our home or theirs so we could attend services. He was a rescue a year ago and didn’t want to put him in a kennel or place where he would think he was being abandoned. After reading that Chester not only boards dogs in his home, but has a large property for long walks and a fenced in area for play, I felt confident contacting him. Chester was able to accommodate our last minute request and had a meet and greet that same day. Rocco met the other dog he was boarding at the time and being Rocco loves other dogs, he was excited to be there which made me feel even better. Having access to other rooms, I one this was the place for him. While away, Chester sent us pictures, videos, and a brief summary every day to let us know how Rocco was doing. We saw Rocco getting walks, playing with the other dogs, getting treats, playing with toys, and just relaxing. That put us at ease knowing Chester treated him like his own. I would definitely recommend Chester and we will definitely have Rocco there again one day.”

“First time using Rover and super apprehensive… but Alexis made the experience of leaving my puppy behind super comforting. I was kept updated on Khloe and what she was doing. Comments throughout the day which I appreciated. I definitely recommend Alexis and will use her again and again.”


“If you want your dog to have the best time of their lives I suggest you book with Jake and Mischa. I have no idea how these two do it but the amount of love, care and fun my little dude has with them is insane. I book with them almost 6 -9 times a year and never have any issues. Loves these two for all the hard work they put in to keep my pup entertained and happy!!!”
“So accommodating and friendly. This was our first time boarding, and pretty instantly we knew our pup was in good hands! The pictures were so appreciated, and we’re incredibly grateful for the care our dog was given.”

“Beckie and her family were the perfect home away from home for our high-energy 2yo German Shepherd. She has a beautiful and massive back yard and provided photo updates throughout the stay. We’ll happily trust Beckie with Echo on future trips and highly recommend her!”

“Francesca and John were wonderful! Buddy did very well during his stay. This was his first time ever boarding and I was nervous about how he would do since he is an older dog. They kept me updated all the time and assured me he was relaxed and not anxious. So glad we found them!”

“Sara was an absolutely perfect pet sitter!! She is very communicative and flexible. She sent us lots of pictures throughout the night and updates. Most importantly Wilson clearly had an amazing time time and we couldn’t be happier.100% recommend!!!”

“Christina was great with our pups. She took special care of their needs while we were away and truly felt like our babies were in good hands. The pics and video helped us stay connected with them while we were away. Our kids missed the pups so much and the images were helpful to them, too.”

“David was great with my 2 big German Shepards. He listened to my concerned and was very attentive. I got updates thru the night along with photos and my dogs seemed genuinely happy. Definitely will be using again and recommend 100%.”

“Sheila was wonderful, she made everything so easy from being responsive to messages, to sending us pics and videos to let us know how Tractor was doing, to being flexible for both drop off and pickup times. Tractor was so happy there, we will definitely use Sheila again!”

“My dog Griffin has been to other Rover sitters and this was the first time he showed me that he was completely comfortable from the moment he walked in the door at our meet and greet! He walked around the place like it was his own home! Amy and her family took care of Griffin for a 2 night stay. I was so happy he would be able to play with her kids and the other dogs there, as he loves attention from all beings. I will look to see if Amy is available any time Griffin needs sitting again! Thanks again, Amy!”

“I recently entrusted Kevin with the care of my beloved chihuahua for a week, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the experience. From the very beginning, communication was smooth and reliable. Whenever I had a question or wanted to check in, Kevin responded promptly and courteously, providing updates that gave me great peace of mind. Most importantly, Kevin took exceptional care of my little chihuahua. It was clear that they treated my dog with kindness, attention, and genuine affection. I returned to find my pet happy, healthy, and well looked after. The thoughtful care and professionalism displayed throughout the sitting period truly exceeded my expectations. If you are looking for a responsible, caring, and communicative dog sitter, I wholeheartedly recommend Kevin. I will definitely be reaching out to them again for future pet care needs!”

“It was my first time boarding Leo and can’t be thankful enough to Alexis. She was super easygoing and reassuring that Leo was ok. I’ll certainly recommend Alexis! Her yard is great for dogs to run and play freely.”
“I left Chet with Emily and Andre for a few days. They took great care of him, gave him lots of love and attention and sent me frequent updates so that I would know he was ok. He was treated like a member of the family and had a great time!”

“Our dog Andy had an amazing time at Mike’s. There was a large yard and a long tie out for him to run around and play to his heart’s content. There’s a pen area attached to the house where the dogs can go into through a doggie door from the house. Apparently Andy loved the sunroom/porch where he could look outside while relaxing. Andy LOVED playing with Mike’s two dogs—he had the best time! Mike was attentive and made and feel at home. He figured out ways to make Andy like his food more. We’ll be using Mike again when we go out of town.”
