“Mary was the perfect match for our elderly dog: she is patient and caring. Mary has her home and yard set up for every dog's optimal comfort, which we especially appreciated since our dog has arthritis. Ella, our 15 year-old papillon, loved her!”
“Polina took wonderful care of our two dogs while we were on an extended vacation. She sent us photos periodically which was greatly appreciated.

“Maya was amazing! We were definitely on edge about the dogsitting due to our pup having bad anxiety and it being his first time staying overnight with someone else, and honestly, I dont think the outcome of the stay could've went any better.

I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing dogsitter that will treat your pets with the love that they deserve.”

“My cat felt safe interacting and snuggling up to John within minutes of first meeting him, and I think it’s because of John’s calm, intentional, gentle presence and demeanor. I couldn’t believe this is his first time cat-sitting because he was so good with my cat. He was quick to respond and was communicative throughout the visits, and asked many questions to get to know my cat’s routines and preferences. John was so polite and easygoing. He went above and beyond caring for my cat for the weekend, and this was a last minute scheduling given last minute plans. So grateful for John.”

About: I’ve always been an animal lover and have experience caring for dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I’ve helped with daily walks, feeding routines, administering basic medications, and providing lots of attention and companionship. I understand how important it is to keep pets on their normal routine, and I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I treat every pet like they’re my own and prioritize clear communication with regular updates and photos. I have a fully fenced in backyard (although I can also take your pet for walks as well if preferred!) and am available to give lots of cuddles all day as I work from home full time! I work remote full time and have a fully fenced in back yard so I am able to watch your dog or cat full time. On the weekends I am usually out hiking or with friends, and can take your pet on those adventures as well! I also have a small 30 lb house trained and friendly doggy named Ramsey who is always down to play and/or nap :) I am able to give your pet around the clock care as I work from home, and my dog Ramsey is always ready to make new friends! I do allow pets on the furniture, just not in my bed, and have a fully fenced in yard for playtime, as well as the ability to take your furry friend on walks as well! Please let me know what your needs are, I want their stay to be as comfortable as possible!
“I’ve brought my dog Shifu to Irina for day care twice now, and she’s been wonderful! She’s very responsive, kind, and clearly cares about the dogs she looks after. Shifu came home happy and relaxed both times. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“She was amazing! Neemo has a lot of anxiety and she took care of him and made him feel at ease! I've never seen him come back so calm after staying with someone. Would definitely work with her again!”
“Luna was very well cared for with Eden and Gal! Luna and Cruzey love each other too! They were both very flexible with our drop off and pick up times changing. We are so appreciative of their kindness and trust worthiness! Merry Christmas to the best!”
About: No dog deserves the kennel! Why settle for the pound when they can spend a night in a home with an owner-on-loan; either in your house on in a house that has raised two other pets from puppyhood to old age? Admittedly, there are stairs and hardwood floors in my house, but I have bought several carpets for my old dog to move around on and can lay them down for your dog’s convenience. We also have a big backyard that your dog will love to run around in (and no predators, unless you count woodchucks and geese) and a long leash that can go all the way to the end of the property line. I love dogs and after a day with me, your furry friend will mistake me for his mother. I’m most busy Wednesdays-Thursdays, so I marked them out on the calendar, but if petsitting is required for several days, that is easy to accommodate! I also don’t mind waking up every few hours to take a dog out—I have not quite reached the age where sleep is important. I won’t allow your dog to roam around outside unleashed (sorry, but I don’t want to lose them!), but when they’re outside, I’ll make sure they have the freedom to run around to their heart’s content. Additionally, I’m willing to walk them in any weather they’ll put up with and even let them sleep on the couch/spare bed, if they’re not too dirty.
“First time using Rover, but have used other dogsitters before. Staci was very welcoming, kind, and confident in watching our elderly dachshund and all his little quirks. You can tell she has had plenty of experience, and I left for the day knowing our little nugget was in good hands. I look forward to the next time.”
“D treats our pet like her own. We love having her as our go-to sitter for our pup! I would 1000% recommend her again and again! It's such a relief knowing our dog is getting the love and care she deserves while we're busy with our everyday lives. Whether it's a last-minute pop-up visit or our regular daycare days, D is always fantastic!”
“thank you erix for taking such good care of my lincoln! he must’ve had a blast because he was so tired after! we will definitely be contact you for more bookings!!”
About: For many years, I aided my aunt who owns her own dog grooming salon, keeping the dogs occupied and bathing them! I have also taken care of many friends and family members dogs, even cats! I had two dogs, two Guinea pigs, and recently just adopted a cat! I volunteer weekly at a bunny farm cleaning their cages and spending time with them. I enjoy all animals and being a difference in their lives! I currently have a full time job, typically work week hours, with some overtime so I will need to work around that! Available weekends and late night!! I have a park nearby and am familiar with safe areas for dog walking! I think it is important to listen to the client and will do everything I can to ensure your pets safety and help you feel at ease knowing they are in good hands! Every client is different and I respect each and every boundary.
“Our usual sitter Chelsea was unavailable and recommended Marisol. Isla loved her time with Marisol and Benito! This is the first real off leash (fenced in yard) play she's had with a dog closer to her size and she loved it. They really made her feel welcome and taken care of and all that play left her tuckered out. We even got ideas for a couple new toys for her.”
“Victoria was easy to book with and took Luka out on a nice long 30 minute walk which I really appreciated. She was always super responsive and I was able to just enjoy our plans and not worry about how Luka was doing. :)”
“Gunner enjoyed his stay and we felt relieved with him in Diana’s care. Very lovely young lady with best interest of pups in mind. Would use her again. She was awesome with last minute request. Thank you!!”
“I can't say enough good things about Stacey. She is truly outstanding in every way when it comes to taking care of Scotch. I always have complete peace of mind knowing my Scotch is in such capable and caring hands. Whether I’m away at work or out for the day, I never have to worry—my dog is happy, safe, and well cared for.”
“Jennifer was wonderful! My puppy was very excited the second time around and did not even whine when i left. He was ready to play with Jennifers sweet dog. Jennifer is very reliable and forthcoming of any possible scheduling conflict. I highly recommend her and we will definitely be back.”

About: Hi! I recently graduated from Clemson University and am home in NY for the next year. I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, lizards, turtles, hamsters, frogs, you name it for as long as I can remember. During my time at school, I’ve fostered two dogs from local shelters and loved every minute of it. I want to continue to help in any way I can while I’m home. Plus, who wouldn’t want to spend their free time with animals? I work a typical 9-5 schedule during the week, so I will have to be away from the house during the weekdays. With that being said, I’d love to spend every second of my mornings, evenings & weekends with your pets! I will care for your pets as you see fit. Of course, I would love to spend as much time with them as possible, taking them on walks or drives or even just playing in the house or yard. If your pets are fairly low maintenance, feel free to let me know what you need done and I will do so and then get out of your hair. :)
“Alyssa was so great with my little one. She kept me updated throughout the week, was very responsive and took care of him when he did not feel well. She even got him a toy for his birthday. I would highly recommend her!”
“Adriana was an incredible help with our nervous dog who can be a bit ~weird~ with strangers; she had our boy snuggling on the couch with her in just one weekend. She gives great updates and calmed every worry we had this weekend.”
“Jamie has been stellar w/ my challenging pitbull! I've noticed a positive change in his overall temperament since she became part of his care team. She is easy to work with and schedule. Definitely recommend.”
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have always had a deep love for them. While I’ve primarily worked with horses and cows, I’ve also spent years around dogs and cats. We have our own rescue pup at home, and I’ve helped care for everything from small lap dogs to German Shepherds. There’s always been a family or friends dog around, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or just keeping them company, I treat every animal like they’re my own. Rover is my full time job, so we can work together to fit your pet into my day! Whether it’s early mornings, midday check-ins, or evenings, we can work out a perfect time to meet you and your pets needs! When I’m caring for pets in their home, I do my best to stick to their normal routine so they feel safe and comfortable. I’ll follow any instructions you leave closely - whether it’s feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, or giving medications. I respect your home, keep things clean and tidy, and make sure your pets get lots of love and attention while you’re away. I know how important it is to feel confident your pets and your space are in good hands!
“John is an excellent dog walker and care taker! Having someone come by my place that I trust is a huge relief. Even in warmer weather Benny still got outside and got great exercise. Thanks so much John!”
“Allison is very sweet and super reliable! We have a high energy 1 year old dog and she’s great and burning his energy during the day while we’re at work! She goes above and beyond for our Theo! 🐾”
About: I've been taking care of animals since 7th grade. My family had their own dog and I used to care for animals around the neighborhood including cats and other animals. I take care of my former co workers dogs and my dad's dog. I'm a very active person, so I love to play outside and go for walks. I work as a teaching assistant full time and school gets out at 2:15 so I have plenty of time in the afternoon most days and could always take time off if needed for a long weekend. Plus school breaks I have plenty of time. I live in an apartment that has small dog parks outside. I'm very comfortable with letting dogs out in fenced in areas and taking them on leash for walks.
About: I know how hard it can be to find reliable and trustworthy pet care. I will always be intentional with the care I provide and will never hesitate to go above and beyond as I would want for my pets. I work Monday through Wednesday from 9 am to 5 pm. I am fully available all other days and am happy to stay at your house on the days I go to work as well. I have a large fenced in yard that is empty minus a secured shed. We also have a mostly empty dining room for extra space and we allow all pets on all furniture.
About: I live in Strathmore and work downtown. My absolute favorite things in life are my sons (who are amazing human beings!) and animals. Now that my sons are independent and out of the house, I enjoy being around and caring for animals. I have experience with all kinds of animals (e.g., dogs, cats, tarantulas, snakes, insects, and more). And I have had and loved dogs of all sizes and temperaments, from mini dachshunds with serious Napoleon complexes to larger-than-life Rottweilers and Great Danes. If you need a trustworthy, reliable, and affordable caregiver, feel free to reach out. :) Rate adjustments are available based on financial need. 😊 I am flexible on evenings, weekends, and holidays. Happy to work around your needs. I work in downtown Syracuse, so I can help with mid-day potty breaks for pets who live in Syracuse when needed. I have a fenced-in yard and live right across from Woodland Reservoir, a terrific place for walks if your pet needs to stay with me. I'm also happy to stay at clients' homes.
About: What sets me apart is my experience and dedication to quality pet care. I’ve been walking and caring for dogs for many years, which has given me a strong understanding of different behaviors and needs. I’m patient with puppies, attentive to senior dogs, and always prioritize safety. I treat every dog like my own and take pride in providing reliable, loving care. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I currently work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule to dedicate time and attention to dog walking. I’m able to plan my days around each pet’s needs, ensuring they receive consistent, reliable care. I provide attentive and personalized care based on each pet’s routine and needs. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any medications if needed. I make sure pets feel comfortable by keeping their routine consistent and giving them plenty of attention and affection. I also maintain a clean and safe environment. My goal is to make pets feel relaxed and cared for while their owners are away.
About: Hi there! I'm Macenzie, and I'm excited to offer loving and professional care for your pets. I’ve always had a deep passion for animals, and over the years, I’ve gained extensive experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. Whether it’s a playful puppy in need of training or a senior dog requiring extra attention, I’m here to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. What sets me apart from other sitters is my commitment to understanding each pet’s unique needs.

I also specialize in handling special needs pets, ensuring they receive the extra care they deserve. Whether it's a short stay or long-term care, your pet will be treated like family. Let’s connect and see how I can make your pet’s day brighter! Although I work full-time, I’m available during evenings and most weekends! During weekdays when bookings overlap with my work schedule, I do ask that pets are comfortable going about 8 hours between potty breaks. Since my apartment doesn’t allow pets, I’m happy to care for your pets in the comfort of their own home. I believe that a familiar environment helps pets feel safe and relaxed, and I focus on maintaining their routine as much as possible. I prioritize safety, trust, and ensuring your pet feels secure while you're away. Whether it's feeding, playing, or administering medications, I provide personalized care that meets your pet's specific needs. I’m also diligent about keeping your home tidy and respecting your space. You can trust that your pet will be in great hands with me, receiving lots of attention and care in a safe, familiar environment.
About: I have been pet sitting since I was 16 years old. I have been involved in animal rescue since 1996 after returning home from the Air Force. I am a veterinary technician. My whole life revolves around animals... caring for them, being an advocate for them... being a voice for the voiceless. I have experience with cats, dogs, exotics and ... well, everything! I have a very flexible schedule, as I drive for Uber. I also have all of my rescue cats that I take care of, so I'm rarely out of town and usually available on short notice. I can only care for animals in your home, not mine. Rest assured, they will be treated as if they were one of my babies!
About: I have pet sat for neighbors and family friends for years and for long periods of time. I have taken care of dogs, cats, guinea pigs and fish. I also have experience working with reptiles and snakes as an intern for an environment education center. I took care of a box turtle, corn snake, and painted turtle. I am in college full time but am willing to watch or stop by when I am not currently taking a class. I am a junior at SUNY ESF. And have a relatively light schedule that would allow me to dedicate hours to your pet if needed. As I live in an apartment I do not have any pets nor can I board pets. However, I have my own car so I can travel to take care of pets. If you wish to have overnight care I can stay on a couch or blow up mattress by your pet for safe company.
“Isaiah is an amazing dog walker!! He is very friendly and super reliable! I never had to worry about my dog not being well taken care of. I can’t say I’ve felt the same with other dog walkers we have used. Goose also loves him and enjoys their walks! I would highly recommend him!”
