“This was our second time using Rover, and I am so thankful we chose Charlette and her family. From the moment we dropped our dogs off, they fell in love — and honestly, so did we. Charlette was amazing. She followed everything I asked, kept me updated, and sent pictures so I always knew my babies were safe and happy. Her whole family treated my dogs like their own, and that meant the world to me. You can truly feel the love, the patience, and the care they put into watching them. I’ll definitely be booking with Charlette again. If you want someone who treats your dogs like family, she’s the one. We will definitely be booking her again.💕🐶”
“Bev watched my chihuahua for the first time. She came home happy and playful. I could tell she had a wonderful time. Also Bev’s comment was she sure loves her tummy rubbed which I knew meant if all she wanted was Bev to rub her belly she really liked her and trusted her. I will definitely be using Bev again soon.”
“Jenn and Brian were able to watch our dog for 5 days while we were away. We received lots of pictures/updates throughout that time and it was clear that our pup was having a great time and was very happy! Highly recommend!”
“Jessica is fantastic! She is very loving, kind, and communicative! 1 of our 2 pups is special needs and she kept us in the loop with everything and sent pictures. Both puppies came back so happy!”
“Luna had a great time at Dana's place. Dana is kind and accommodating her place is pet friendly and her home is welcoming. Dana was eager to ensure Luna felt comfortable and happy during her stay. She sent cute photos of Luna while there. Luna and I look forward to seeing Dana again. Highly recommend as a trust worthy sitter.”
“Thank you Jodie & John! We really appreciate your love and care for Bella during her stay. Your back yard is just a paradise so I know Bella was very happy to stretch out and play with her new friends. I totally recommend others to use your service! If we visit Grand Island again, we will be sure to book another stay for Bella!”
“Raisa took wonderful care of our dog, Bonita! We could tell Bonita had a fun and comfortable stay, and she almost did not want to leave. Raisa went above and beyond by giving Bonita extra home-cooked dog food and comforting her during loud noises and thunderstorms. Bonita also loved spending time with her daughter and husband too. We are so thankful for the love and care Raisa and her family gave Bonita. Highly recommend and would definitely book again!”
“My puppy was so happy at Courtney space! And I appreciate Courtney was doing a wonderful job sending me photos of my puppy. I will definitely reach out to Courtney for taking care of my baby doggie again. 100% recommend her!”
“Meagan was a great communicator and provided lots of pictures of our girl. We could see that she had lots of fun, and was well taken care of. Would definitely recommend her.”
“I know my dog had a good experience because she was very calm when she came home, which indicated she was happy and hadn't been in distress. I received photos and updates on her behavior which were wonderful. Would definitely use Matrice's services again.”
“Anthony did a great job taking care of my pup. She can be shy and fearful in new situations and Anthony did a great job to keep her calm and comfortable. She enjoyed playing with his dogs, Yoki and Canelo. I enjoyed receiving updates and pictures of my pup while I was away which helped me feel at ease. Anthony is calm, reliable and welcoming. I plan to use his services again when I need them.”
“I’m so grateful to Jennifer and Brent for taking such good care of my dog, Mishti, while I was away. She can be a little anxious and picky with her food, but they were so patient with her and even hand-fed her to make sure she was eating. They kept me updated throughout, which really helped me feel at ease. I could tell Mishti was in caring hands. They also took her on lovely long walks, which she really enjoyed. Overall, they did an amazing job, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book them again!”
“We had contacted Samantha for boarding. She was prompt and very responsive. Roxy enjoyed her time with Samantha and came back very happy. We felt comfortable and will certainly be repeating. Thank you Samantha for all your help.”
“Mindy was truly amazing! Chichi clearly loved his few days at Mindy’s house while I was away and came home happy (unlike his previous stay at a kennel where he came home totally miserable!!) Mindy sent many pictures and kept me updated , she clearly is very knowledgeable about animals, and chichi was well taken care off - I will absolutely book with Mindy again!!”
“I can't say enough about how amazing Michelle was! This was our first time leaving our senior dog with anyone so I was a bit nervous, but Michelle put our minds at ease with her thoroughness in understanding our dog's needs, frequent photo updates, and genuine care. She even got my spicy chihuahua to warm up to her so I think that qualifies her as a miracle worker! Thank you so much Michelle!”
“Jackie made it possible to leave on a 2 week vacation. All 3 of our dogs were well taken care of. Jackie did everything we asked. We will definitely ask Jackie to take care of our family again. Thank you”
“Naomi and Sam kept in contact with me while boarding my dog for 10+ days! My dog was pampered with lots of pets and had daily exercise! Would highly recommend Sam and Naomi to anybody!”
“Erica was absolutely phenomenal. She was very caring and sweet with Theodore. She kept me posted with pictures and updates everyday she had him. I cannot wait to rebook with Erica. Thank you!!!!”
“Charlene took great care of our Gracie for a day and overnight while we were out of town. We were fortunate that she was able to accommodate us on short notice! Charlene also sent us lots of pictures and some videos where we could tell that Gracie was having lots of fun playing with her own dog Dora, as well as some downtime resting with Dora. We would definitely be happy leaving Gracie again in Charlene’s care.”

“Amanda was fabulous! She watched my cat and her 6, 5-week-old kittens as a last minute request, and on Christmas too! She clearly spent meaningful time with the cats because in the wonderful pictures, they were playing and snuggling with her. She also extended our time to include one additional visit, also with very little notice. Thank you Amanda!”
“Dana as always did an excellent job. I would give her 10 stars if that was an option. She plays with my boys and always makes sure that they have clean water and litter boxes. She goes the extra mile in everything she does.”
“Belle was great and I would highly recommend her! This was the first time using a service, we always had a family member watch our pets, so I was a little nervous. Belle put my mind at ease, she texted me updates everyday with pictures, and I knew by the pictures and texts she was thorough and taking such good care of my kitties (and fish). She was concerned when one of my kitties wouldn’t come out, but she is a very scared cat around new people, so I wasn’t worried about it, but within a couple days she came out while Belle was there, so I knew they loved her and trusted her. We did a meet and greet prior which I was really happy about, we were able to introduce her to the kitties and went over everything. We are going on another trip and have booked Belle again!!”
“Jackie helped out with our three cats for a couple days and I can tell she took great care of them! I always appreciate the updates on the rover card, and the photos of them (when they appear). Will be happy to book with her again!!”
About: I want to provide peace of mind to pet owners, by caring for their furry family members in there absence, as I want for my own furry family. Safe, loving and fun environment for pets to be cared for. I have senior animals and a puppy..I also give injections and have no problem giving medications. My husband and I both work, but due to different shifts, someone is always home to care for our guests. We can always be available. We have a fenced in yard, and also a smaller fenced in yard to secure no escapes :) we can modify as needed for your precious pet.
“Barbie was fabulous! She offered to meet me and the kitties prior to her official start, she was prompt and communicative, she spent extra time with my cats on her first visit, and she cleaned their food bowls after their use. Something I really appreciate was that she asked me to let her know when I got back from my trip. You know someone truly cares about animals if they don’t consider their job done until they know the pets are back in safe hands. It’s so nice to know that if something happened to me that someone would be thinking of my cats and would have made sure that they were safe.”
About: I have taken care of animals for family and friends for a few years now and want to expanded into caring into looking after the pets if other family’s that want to travel but unfortunately cannot bring their animals with them. I currently work in a restaurant as a line cook and have 5-8 hour days starting as early as 2pm and ending as late as 10pm so I am able to mostly do morning care and late night care but I can adjust my schedule as needed for emergency’s. I am able to adapt to any type of care needed including daily training or cleanup if needed and love to take my own dogs on walks and just relax with them when they are tired.
About: I have never not had a cat in my home, I can’t imagine a life without a cat curled up next to me or in my current situation, a cat laying on top of me. If I’m at someone’s house and there is a cat, I am playing and probably talking to it. Let me give you the peace of mind that your fur baby is getting the best care while you’re away,
“MacKenzie was absolutely amazing. I was supposed to have someone else catsit for me, but they canceled last minute and MacKenzie was legit a lifesaver. My cats are typically pretty shy and reserved but they absolutely loved her. She is great and reliable and super nice. I had some packages outside and she brought those in for me. She was thorough and even my shyest cat let MacKenzie pet her. I can't help but recommend her!”
About: Believe it or not I actually grew up with a cat allergy. However, from going to my friends' houses over the years and being exposed to their cats (and working at a pet store), it seems like that allergy has gone away! I have absolutely no issues being in the same household as cats, and have not had any issues arise from being around them!
“María is very nice, qualified and responsible. My cat needed oral medication and she was able to give it to her without a problem. I liked that she asked a lot of questions about things I may not have thought to tell her. Great job, Maria! Thank you”
About: My lifelong hands-on experience and genuine love for dogs. I’ve been caring for my own dogs since I was 10 years old, which has taught me responsibility, patience, and how to understand different dog personalities and needs. I’m comfortable working with puppies and reinforcing basic training like leash manners, crate routines, and positive behavior habits. I’m also attentive and gentle with senior dogs, making sure they move at their own pace, stay comfortable, and get any extra care or patience they may need. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine, even as a full-time student. I’m organized with my schedule and intentionally leave open time between classes and in the afternoons to walk and care for dogs. Being active and spending time outdoors is already part of my routine, so dog walking blends perfectly into my day. Pet care isn’t something I squeeze in — it’s something I genuinely enjoy making time for. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I prioritize keeping their routine as consistent as possible so they feel safe and comfortable. I follow all instructions carefully — including feeding schedules, walk times, playtime, and any special care needs. I make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while also respecting the home and keeping everything clean and organized.
About: Cats have been a part of my life for over 20 years, and I’ve been pet sitting both cats and dogs for more than two decades. I understand that every cat has their own personality and routine, whether they’re social and playful, shy and independent, or somewhere in between. When I’m caring for your cat, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention, fresh food and water, a clean litter box, playtime, and lots of love and affection — always at their own pace. I’m also happy to provide updates and photos so you can feel confident that your cat is happy and well cared for while you’re away. I know how important it is to have someone you can trust in your home and with your pets. My goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible for both you and your cat! ❤️
“April is so great! She took excellent care of my cat who is very lovable and doesn’t like to be alone for too long. She sent photos and a perfect update after dropping by my house to care for him. I have asked her to come back already for another sitting! Thank you again”
About: I’ve had a dog my whole life and have been taking care of a puppy, dog walking and poping in on vacations Super excited to start! I love dogs! I am extremely flexible around your schedule. I am very active and busy but it will be my priority to put your pups needs first! My experience with dogs are always fun. All dogs are different and like to have fun a different way. I think they are very readable like a human lol! My golden retriever is very playful with toys. She loves king walks and playing and running in the yard.
“Marisa was absolutely amazing! This was my first time using Rover and I wasn’t completely sold on letting strangers into my home. Marisa made us feel so comfortable and safe. She sent tons of photos of my fir babies and showed them so much love and affection. She did a great job at cleaning up and feeding them as well! Would definitely book her again. You are amazing Marisa!”

“My Peekapoo is excited to be left in Martrice's care for the day and to play with the other pups. What a relief to have found a pet sitter I trust to give my furry friend attention and affection! And I enjoy the photos and communication she texts while I'm away. Martrice is flexible, always smiling, and a joy to work with. I highly recommend her and will continue to use her daycare and boarding services.”

She gave them the extra love and spoiling they needed while we ventured to Niagara Falls for the day- and she even gave us some great tips! Would highly recommend and certainly would use again!”

“Monique is lovely, she was absolutely punctual both at pickup and drop-off, and has a great energy about her. I could tell Archie really liked her, and so did I. She sent me many updates throughout the day, my Archie had the time of his life with her. 12/10 would trust her with my pet again, and I definitely, absolutely and inequivocaly recommend her services. Amazing experience all around. I'll be forever grateful to her for taking such good care of my boy.”

“Our first time using Rover and I could not have asked for a better experience. From start to finish they communicated so well and efficiently. They were very understanding and sent updated with videos that put my mind at ease. Thank you Kelly!”
“Andreas was the MVP on our trip to Canada from the States. We needed someone to watch our dog very short notice and they were able to accommodate us. Our dog came back to us well taken care of and full-steam tail wagging, as promised. 10/10 would recommend and return to Andreas if we're ever back in the area.”
“Charlene was amazing. My doggie is from the US and he now has a CA dog buddy name Dora & a special human friend Charlene🌷. She took such great care of Rocket. He enjoyed himself for 2 daytime daycare visits.. This helped us have a more enjoyable vacation and afforded Rocket the same as well. This was our first road trip with Rocket. Thank You so much Charlene.💐🌸🌺🌸🌷🌷🌷🌷🌺🌸💐”

“We were visiting Niagara Falls with our dog, Ruby, and wanted a safe/fun place for her to stay while we explored the area. Holly was great! She sent updates throughout the day (which gave me peace of mind), and Ruby loved playing with her two dogs. The fenced yard was a big plus. Everything worked out perfectly, and we’d definitely reach out to Holly again if we’re back in the area.”
“Meagan, you and your family did such an amazing job caring for my pup, Alfie! Meagan followed all of my requests and kept me updated throughout the whole entire visit according to my request. Their home is intentionally set up to accommodate caring for a dog, with areas gated for safety. Her daughter's are also extremely sweet and I appreciate that they spent time and playing with Alfie. They are clearly dog savvy kids and were very respectful of him and his needs. I don't even think Alfie knew I was gone 🙄😂 Thank you very much Meagan & family!!”

“Noelle watched our new puppy, Brew, during the day while my husband and I had to work. She did a fantastic job helping Brew learn about potty training and lessening her separation anxiety. Noelle is knowledgeable and kind and she provided photos and updates throughout the day. She clearly cares about animals and is a professional”
“We were in NOTL for vacation and needed a dogsitter while we took an all day tour. Paula was most helpful in watching our Roxy while we were gone all day. She communicated frequently with us and gave us updates on how Roxy was doing. She even sent photos of Roxy snuggling with her. She obviously is a dog (and cat) lover. We would definitely use Paula again for our petsitting needs.”
“Rosalyn was exactly what you want in a doggy sitter and went above and beyond to make Marli’s very few experiences away from home exceptional! Marli and their doggy Lilly had a great day together. I would highly recommend Rosalyn to anyone who wants a sitter that makes your doggy feel special and loved. 🐾💚💜”

About: I have experience taking care of pets, as I have owned a dog myself. I've worked in animal care most of my career, working for institutions such as The Buffalo Zoo, Hidden Valley Animal Adventure, Pet Supplies Plus, dog kennels, etc. I love being around animals, and intend to do so the rest of my life!

I can constantly provide your pets with enrichment. Whether that be through walking, playing, or just general outside time. I love nature/the environment, so I love getting outdoors.

I have also had a Shih tzu of my own for 3 years now. I work part time and I am a full time student. My summer schedule has classes and work several days of the week. I’m generally free most mornings and after 9pm on days I work. I let my dog walk around our home freely. However in our backyard I have a leash for him so he can walk around while not being able to run off! When I am dog watching when I am away I would crate the dog if im gone for several hours and let them roam if its for a short amount of time.

I always start by learning each pet’s routine, preferences, and needs. In my home, I provide a clean, calm, and fun environment with regular walks, playtime, and lots of affection.

It’s their (dogs) world, we just live in it! :) We make sure to stay on track with feeding schedules and potty breaks. Exercise is a must-do while your pet is in our care! Safety and comfort are our number one priority and we do everything we can to make sure your pup experiences both during they stay!
About: Hi! I’m a passionate animal lover with a lifetime of experience caring for all kinds of pets. I currently have two big, lovable dogs—a German Shepherd and a Cane Corso—as well as two cats, so I know how to handle different personalities, energy levels, and needs. Whether your pup is playful, shy, or somewhere in between, they’ll get personalized attention and care like one of my own. Hi there! My name is Isabella , and I’m a professional hairstylist working Wednesday through Saturday. On my days off, I’m looking to spend more time doing something else I love—caring for animals. As someone who has had pets my entire life and currently owns two dogs (a German Shepherd and a Cane Corso) and two cats, I understand how important it is to have someone reliable and compassionate looking after your furry family members. I’d love the opportunity to help out with dog walking or pet care when you need an extra hand. Caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. At home, I provide a structured, loving, and safe environment for my pets, which includes two large-breed dogs—a German Shepherd and a Cane Corso—and two cats. I focus on consistent routines, daily exercise, mental stimulation, and plenty of affection. My pets are well-socialized, receive proper nutrition, and are always kept clean, comfortable, and happy. Whether it’s going on long walks, engaging in playtime, or simply giving them the attention they need, I treat each animal with the respect and care they deserve. My experience with a variety of temperaments and needs allows me to confidently and responsibly care for others’ pets with the same level of dedication.
About: Hi, I am Belle! I am a full-time pet sitter. I have always had a love for animals. I know how hard it can be to leave your fur-baby especially, with a stranger. I love & treat my clients’ pets as my own. I have a bachelor's degree in animal behavior. I have taken various animal classes such as animal enrichment, welfare, cognition, dog/cat behavior, and positive reinforcement training classes. I worked at a dog & cat boarding facility/doggy daycare. I interned at the SPCA Serving Erie County with their behavior department working with the dogs & cats. I have worked with many fearful, reactive, and under socialized dogs. I am experienced in administering medications. I mostly pet sit dogs & cats but I have also cared for fish, bunnies, guinea pigs, hamsters, hedgehogs, chickens, and would be open to other species! I am currently a cat mom of 5.

“This was our second time using Rover, and I am so thankful we chose Charlette and her family. From the moment we dropped our dogs off, they fell in love — and honestly, so did we. Charlette was amazing. She followed everything I asked, kept me updated, and sent pictures so I always knew my babies were safe and happy. Her whole family treated my dogs like their own, and that meant the world to me. You can truly feel the love, the patience, and the care they put into watching them. I’ll definitely be booking with Charlette again. If you want someone who treats your dogs like family, she’s the one. We will definitely be booking her again.💕🐶”
“Jenn and Brian were able to watch our dog for 5 days while we were away. We received lots of pictures/updates throughout that time and it was clear that our pup was having a great time and was very happy! Highly recommend!”
“Jessica is fantastic! She is very loving, kind, and communicative! 1 of our 2 pups is special needs and she kept us in the loop with everything and sent pictures. Both puppies came back so happy!”
“Luna had a great time at Dana's place. Dana is kind and accommodating her place is pet friendly and her home is welcoming. Dana was eager to ensure Luna felt comfortable and happy during her stay. She sent cute photos of Luna while there. Luna and I look forward to seeing Dana again. Highly recommend as a trust worthy sitter.”
“Thank you Jodie & John! We really appreciate your love and care for Bella during her stay. Your back yard is just a paradise so I know Bella was very happy to stretch out and play with her new friends. I totally recommend others to use your service! If we visit Grand Island again, we will be sure to book another stay for Bella!”
“Raisa took wonderful care of our dog, Bonita! We could tell Bonita had a fun and comfortable stay, and she almost did not want to leave. Raisa went above and beyond by giving Bonita extra home-cooked dog food and comforting her during loud noises and thunderstorms. Bonita also loved spending time with her daughter and husband too. We are so thankful for the love and care Raisa and her family gave Bonita. Highly recommend and would definitely book again!”
“My puppy was so happy at Courtney space! And I appreciate Courtney was doing a wonderful job sending me photos of my puppy. I will definitely reach out to Courtney for taking care of my baby doggie again. 100% recommend her!”
“Meagan was a great communicator and provided lots of pictures of our girl. We could see that she had lots of fun, and was well taken care of. Would definitely recommend her.”
“I know my dog had a good experience because she was very calm when she came home, which indicated she was happy and hadn't been in distress. I received photos and updates on her behavior which were wonderful. Would definitely use Matrice's services again.”
“Anthony did a great job taking care of my pup. She can be shy and fearful in new situations and Anthony did a great job to keep her calm and comfortable. She enjoyed playing with his dogs, Yoki and Canelo. I enjoyed receiving updates and pictures of my pup while I was away which helped me feel at ease. Anthony is calm, reliable and welcoming. I plan to use his services again when I need them.”
“We had contacted Samantha for boarding. She was prompt and very responsive. Roxy enjoyed her time with Samantha and came back very happy. We felt comfortable and will certainly be repeating. Thank you Samantha for all your help.”
“Mindy was truly amazing! Chichi clearly loved his few days at Mindy’s house while I was away and came home happy (unlike his previous stay at a kennel where he came home totally miserable!!) Mindy sent many pictures and kept me updated , she clearly is very knowledgeable about animals, and chichi was well taken care off - I will absolutely book with Mindy again!!”
“I can't say enough about how amazing Michelle was! This was our first time leaving our senior dog with anyone so I was a bit nervous, but Michelle put our minds at ease with her thoroughness in understanding our dog's needs, frequent photo updates, and genuine care. She even got my spicy chihuahua to warm up to her so I think that qualifies her as a miracle worker! Thank you so much Michelle!”
“Naomi and Sam kept in contact with me while boarding my dog for 10+ days! My dog was pampered with lots of pets and had daily exercise! Would highly recommend Sam and Naomi to anybody!”
“Charlene took great care of our Gracie for a day and overnight while we were out of town. We were fortunate that she was able to accommodate us on short notice! Charlene also sent us lots of pictures and some videos where we could tell that Gracie was having lots of fun playing with her own dog Dora, as well as some downtime resting with Dora. We would definitely be happy leaving Gracie again in Charlene’s care.”
“Thank you Andreas for watching my Buster dog overnight so that we could attend a few plays in town. Was so nice not having to worry about him and let us fully enjoy the shows and your beautiful town. Thanks Much. Highly recommend your pet care.”
“This was my first time ever boarding Winnie and Monica put me so at ease with leaving him in her care. She even spent extra time to make sure my dog was comfortable with hers before I booked an overnight and she kept me informed on how he was doing with texts, photos and video. I would not hesitate to book a stay with her again!”
“Nichole took such good care of our dog, Juniper! She was so well cared for and enjoyed playing with Nichole's dog. Nichole sent lots of pictures and updates and even went as far as to clean her ears when she saw they were irritated. We could not recommend her more!”
“Kirsten was amazing! Our dog, Blue, gave us the silent treatment the whole way home because we made him leave. She was prompt to reply, sent pictures, and was incredibly flexible with our itinerary. We also loved that he had friends who were his size to play with, her two dogs were very sweet and wore him out!! When we come back to the area, we'll definitely be using Kirsten again!”
“Anna is an amazing lady very responsive and informative she took really good care for honey . Her cute boy pepper and honey had a wonderful time will be sure to book with her again;)”
