“I can’t thank Joan and Tim enough for taking my dogs while we were at my daughters wedding for a long weekend. She was so attentive and gave me many updates and made it so I can be worry free. I appreciate them so much.”
“Jenn and Brian were wonderful with Mika. They treated her as she was one of their own. Spoiling her with treats, love and affection. I would highly recommend booking with them.”
“HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! WILL DEFINITELY BE A REPEAT CUSTOMER! We couldn’t have been more appreciative with the care Erika provided taking care of our young puppy for the 5 days we were away. Erika’s pup Huxley was the perfect play mate for our pup to feel right at home and to help burn off energy. Erika was very easy to communicate with and sent us updates multiple times a day with how our pup was doing.”
“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”
“It was so reassuring knowing that Josh & Kelly were taking great care of our pup while we were on vacation. They, along with their children were so caring and loving to Gus. We received pictures and updates every day too. He couldn’t have been in better hands, and we will definitely be contacting them again to watch him.”
“Mickey was great. She made Beasley feel very comfortable and treated him like one of the family. She even bought him a sweater that she let us keep while we were gone because it got very cold out. He not only loved her but he also made a couple new friends at her house. Sunny and Sylvester were great companions for him during his stay. We will definitely be calling Mickey for future travels when Beasley needs a place to stay.”
“At first I was skeptical about using Rover to find someone to care for my German Shepherd that I just adopted and because of moving reasons I needed a place for him to be until my place was ready. I came across Jin, and she was immediately available, and I couldn't be more lucky to have found such an amazing human been, she took care of my Tony so good, with constant pictures and follow ups about his activities. I will only use her services to care for my dog. She us the best. Thank you so much for taking care my big baby tony.??”
“Denae and Mark were wonderful hosts for our dog, Cooper. Denae was a great communicator and provided us photos and messages to let us know how Cooper was doing during his brief weekend stay. We will be using them again!”
“Sierra was so sweet with my baby! She sent me pictures and updates every day and she even helped me out in a pinch and let me extend my reservation! I would absolutely book with her again and encourage anyone else too!!🥰”
“Kiara & Yves are genuinely such fantastic pet sitters, and kept my mind at ease during travel knowing that my cat was in such good hands! Not only were they very kind and pleasant to talk to, but Kiara was very knowledgeable about animals in general and shared some useful information. They were very diligent in making sure my kitty was being cared for properly, along with sending updates and pictures. From medication, to going out of their way to buy specific kibble that my cat was used to after not adjusting, you can be assured that your pet will be watched by responsible, enthusiastic, and caring folks.”
“Jennifer is the best! She was beyond patient with our energetic and mischievous Aussie puppy. She sent pictures and updates throughout our dog’s stay. We had a great holiday knowing that Piper was in such a loving home.”
“Sarah is great! She was available on short notice and took excellent care of my dog Maizie. Her little fur baby was also very friendly and welcoming, so Maizie had a playmate for the day as a bonus!”
“beverly. you are the best sitter ever! our Lilly just loves you and ur husband too. it’s been such a comfort and blessing to have her available to us for vacations or whatever. i’m so grateful for her!”

“Jonathan did an excellent job looking after my cat and keeping him company while I was away on vacation. Very responsive, and provided detailed updates. Would recommend any time.”
“Mickey did a great job with our cat Rocky. She checked in often as we requested and included photos and videos. She also took great care in keeping our bird feeders filled as well as checking on and feeding a stray cat that we've helping. Like us it's obvious that Mickey is a true animal and nature lover. Also, as an overnighter she left our home neat and tidy.She's an ideal sitter for us and now a friend as well.”
About: I’ve grown up caring for dogs, cats, lizards, and hamsters! Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I truly adore pets of all kinds. Whether they’re energetic, shy, scaly, fluffy, or somewhere in between, I treat every animal like my own best friend. I work remotely, which gives me a very flexible morning schedule and the ability to create my own hours. I love spending as much time as possible with the animals, making sure they feel loved, stay active and engaged through play, and are always safe and well cared for. I live in an apartment complex, so I generally take my dog out every few hours so he can get his exercise, use the bathroom, and enjoy the outdoors. I do the same with those I’m sitting for!
“It was such a peace of mind knowing my pups were cared for over the weekend while Jenna checked in on them. She sent me pictures and messaged me with any updates. I will definitely book with her in the future!”
About: I’ve been a dog owner since 2020, when I got my first dog as a puppy. Since then, I’ve learned firsthand what it takes to raise, train, and care for a dog from a young age. I currently have two dogs and they’re a big part of my everyday life! I’m a senior in high school with no extracurriculars during this season, which makes my schedule very flexible. I also have my own transportation, so I’m reliable and easy to coordinate with! I take safety seriously and always make sure dogs are supervised and comfortable. I follow all instructions closely, keep routines consistent, and pay attention to behavior to make sure each dog feels secure and stress free.
“Shanna was prompt and professional! But most of all our dog seemed to love her! She even left our dog a birthday treat. She's really very caring and thoughtful. Wouldn't hesitate to rebook”
About: I was raised on a small family farm, and have cared for goats, chickens, ducks, pigs, and more while a part of that. As a child and teenager, I trained dogs through my local 4-H program, and later on started petsitting for family friends. I've cared for puppies, senior dogs, cats, chickens, cows, pigs, goats, turtles, geese, canaries, ducks, and so many others, and I'm always willing to learn something new! I work full-time, night shifts during the week and mornings on weekends, but I'm typically only gone 8 hours max, so there's still plenty of time for me to provide plenty of care and attention to the pets! I typically stay overnight, and will either crate the pets if needed, or let them sleep with me, I wake up with them and spend my day hanging out with them, playing or just relaxing. I do my best to care for each pet as their owner would, to help minimize stress.
About: I’ve taken care of cats since I was 5, Ive owned 3 of my own over the years. My most current cat is my 10 year old girl that I got when she was a kitten. As much as I enjoy walking and going on adventures with my dog, i also love sitting and cuddling or petting my cat, playing with her little toys our just hanging out and giving her so me attention.
About: Hello! I’m Claudia Giallella and I’ve always loved caring for animals. In recent years, I have played and cared for many cute cats. I love to send pictures and videos of your pets to show they are having fun and are happy while you are away! Caring for animals has always brought me so much joy and I love to meet new families that are in need for short or long term care for their pets!
“Katherine is the best cat sitter out there! She's extremely patient and amazing with my scaredy cat! She has watched my cat several times already and I request her every time I travel! :)”
“Tara was extremely professional and took good care of our babies while we were on vacation. She went above and beyond: she brought our packages upstairs, kept our porch plants watered and our outside bird feeder filled (so our cats would have their "tv") We came home to happy plants, happy cats and happy birds. Thank you again!”
“Nikki was an awesome sitter! Not only was she reliable and responsible, but she was also able to coax my shy cats out and make friends with them. I felt very confident and comfortable leaving my pet family in her care. I will definitely be asking her to sit again😊”
“LeeAnn is my go to person for all my cat care needs when I travel. She is trustworthy, takes great care with my animals, communicates clearly and above all else, cares about them and the experience they have while in her care. 10/10 recommend!!! Thank you LeeAnn, for everything you do 🎄🎁🎉”
About: I understand that every pet has a unique personality, routine, and needs. I know how important it is to have someone you can trust to care for your furry family members, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether it’s playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply keeping them comfortable while you’re away, I’ll provide reliable, compassionate care and plenty of love! Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. As the proud mom of four cats and one dog, my days already revolve around feeding, walks, playtime, enrichment, and plenty of affection. Because caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, I can easily incorporate visits, walks, or check-ins into my schedule while giving each pet the attention and care they deserve. I care for every pet as if they were my own, while respecting their individual routines and personalities. In a client’s home, I follow their instructions closely to keep pets comfortable and maintain their normal schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and lots of love and attention. I also make sure they have fresh water, a clean environment, and plenty of companionship while you’re away. My goal is to provide dependable, stress-free care so both you and your pet can feel at ease.

“Chelsea and Derek were amazing with our puppy we were very nervous leaving her with someone for the first time. They answered all our questions and sent us pictures and kept us up to date with what she was doing. I 100% recommend them to anyone and would be using them again.”
“I highly recommend Joah & Kelly! They were very aware and responsive to Rosie, provide a lot of support during her first day. I really appreciated the pics 📸 they sent throughout the day, too. It was reassuring to see Rosie happy & comfortable.”
“Mary and her family are absolutely AMAZING with our puppy, Scout! She communicates and sends me pictures throughout the day and after only one day of daycare, the next time he saw her he was SO excited!! Her sweet dog, Maggie, has taken Scout under her wing and is so good with him. I cannot say enough good things! I feel like we hit the lottery by finding Mary to care for our sweet boy when we are at work. He leaves ever day happy and exhausted!”
About: It's Summertime!!! Bring your Pupp-a-ccinos and PuppCorn for a sleeprover to talk about. We just got a new doggie pool for the heat, and have a pop up agility course to play in.Parks nearby is Knox farm, memorial Park, BurchField and more. My car/dog mobile is set up with dog seatbelts so we can safely drive to our next fun destination( if approved by owner). I'm a Licensed Veterinary Technician and have been working in the animal industry for over 15 years. I am able to give quality attention and care all day. License is available upon request. Proof of vaccines and flea/tick prevention required PRIOR to drop off. I try to take only one dog but there may be an overlap of a boarding client and daycare client. Are you looking for someone who can stay with your fur baby and not be kenneled? I'm your woman. Prices may vary dependent on the needs of the client and how extensive it may be. I try to give an enriching environment for all pets that I'm caring for, but if they are more mellow, then I'm very good at snuggling. I enjoy outdoor activities and love to bring any dog who wants to explore nature with me. I can take your dog out on multiple leashed walks a day. We can go to a nearby park or sunbathe on my porch. I treat all pets like they are my own family member.
“Thanks so much! Crystal was very professional. She was clear about her services and what she doesn’t offer - like picking my dog up from my house - I appreciate clear boundaries. She fed him & let him out more than enough times and he seemed very happy over there. I feel safe with her watching my dog. Thank you!”

“Natalie is an excellent Dog Mom. I can’t say enough good things about her. My wife was hesitant to leave our dog with someone overnight, but Natalie assured her that everything would be fine and it was. Rossi got fresh water multiple times a day, played in her spacious backyard with other dogs, and she took our dog for walks several times a day. She sent multiple updates with pictures and videos, which we really appreciate it. I absolutely would not hesitate to use Natalie again.”
“We were just passing through on a road trip and landed tickets to see the Bills play so this was a last minute book. Sierra was wonderful with our Bella who has separation anxiety. She took it slow with Bella and soon Sierra had her eating (she has NEVER eaten a meal when we are not there with her), going for walks, and napping. I can tell Sierra was great with Bella because she was happy when we picked her up and went right to sleep when we got home.”
About: I have been taking care of animals for as long as I can remember and have been pet-sitting since age 10 for family, friends, and neighbors. I have almost always lived with at least one cat or dog (or both!) throughout my life. I also have experience caring for rabbits, ferrets, gerbils, fish, parakeets, bearded dragons, and cockatiels. I currently live with two indoor tortoiseshell cats who are comfortable with dogs, and one of my cats is leash-trained. I have raised and trained at least 11 dogs from puppies to adulthood (3 as my own and the others for my parents). Most of my cats I adopted as teenagers, but I have raised a few kittens from a young age. I have done extensive dog training with the 3 dogs I raised as my own in the past, and I am familiar with both dog and cat training techniques. I live in a cabin the woods in Boston, NY, on a power line gravel road. Although I do not have a fenced in back yard, your dog will enjoy going on leashed walks down the power line road multiple times per day! I earn a living through a mix of substitute teaching (summer starts June 25th!), remote research and writing gigs, tutoring, child care, and pet care. I have a flexible schedule and incorporate pet care into the mix as much as possible because I love animals. If I am boarding a dog at my home, I will not be house sitting at that time (and vice versa). While boarding or house sitting, I will consider dog walking and drop-ins depending on the needs of the client and driving distance. If you board your dog at my home, my cats and I wake up early (about 6am) and I like to go outside for a walk down the power line road right away, and then eat breakfast. Your dog will be able to spend time with me all day (on a leash when we are outside), and if I need to leave my house, they will be in their crate for no more than 4 hours (2 is my strong preference). We will go for at least one more walk before dinner, too. I will be sure to give them plenty of play time and exercise throughout the day (depending on their level of activity and how hot it is outside). No matter what, they will get a lot of love and attention! I live in a cabin in the woods in the Town of Boston, NY, so although I do not have a fenced-in yard, there is very little traffic or people around. I will be able to go on long leashed walks with your dog down the power line for exercise, and there are a few friendly neighbor dogs that would love to say hello if your dog is up for that. I do live with two cats: one of them will hide a lot while your dog is here, but the other is very dog-friendly and will want to interact with your dog. I will monitor and separate them as needed (I have a spare room). I have always crate-trained my dogs and so long as your dog is comfortable in their crate, I will use it as a safe place for them to be while they are staying with me.
“This was our first experience leaving our 9 mo. old shihtzu pup for daycare. Mom was nervous - puppy had the best day ever! Katie took great care of our boy and he definitely loved every minute, living his best life! Thank you Katie!”
About: I’m Mindy and I am a stay at home mom. I have two school aged children and a small dog, Mazie. We adopted her from the animal shelter and she is a therapy dog for the Paws for Love program. I have extra time on my hands and would love to care for your pet! I enjoy being outside and active and love taking my dog for walks and bike rides! I have a fenced in yard and live in a quiet neighborhood. I have experience taking care of cats and dogs, of course! Mazie is an easy going dog and very friendly and loving. She gets along with other pets as well. I do prefer crate trained dogs at nighttime. Since that’s where Mazie sleeps up in our room. Please feel free to ask questions and I would love to meet your dog and help in any way!
About: I’ve taken care of all sorts of dogs since I was a young child. Neighbors, family and friends have all asked me to pet sit! I now have a 2 year old rescue name Genny! She is very sweet, a big girl at 95lbs but extremely submissive in all situations! She would love a play mate and extra walks! Work from home M-F. On my lunch we always take a walk usually about 2 miles and Genny get plenty of potty breaks and outdoors time! I can follow any type of specific feeding plan and can ensure walks and outdoor time are a focus! I love dogs and would want to make sure your pet was taken care of they way I would want Genny to be!
“Danielle is awesome! She exudes dog-people-ness: our dog was immediately comfortable in her home (and with her!) and she did a lovely job of caring for him/delivering him home at the end of his visit. We received adorable photos and felt entirely confident he was in great hands all day. Thanks Danielle!!”
About: “My fashion philosophy is, if you’re not covered in dog hair, your life is empty.” – Elayne Boosler I am home 95% of the time during the summer, we just extended the fence to about an acre! Also have an above ground pool that your pup can swim in with my help if they like to. During the school year I am out of the house Mon-Fri from 7-4 so I can take dogs for boarding on Friday's starting at 4 or after. My favorite thing is to be home with my dogs on the weekend so most likely the shortest amount of time your pup(s) will be home without a human is 2-4 hours max. When I am home, the dogs are my first priority, with many walks, brushing, massage and pampering included in each visit! If your pup needs a bath and is well-behaved in the tub, I'd love to freshen them up! (I do not cut nails). All of my pups are on flea and tick prevention year round. Please reach out if you have any questions! I am home all day during the summer months so I can watch your pup 24/7! I have older pups who love to chill and a younger golden who loves to run around and play so whatever kind of dog you have they should fit right in. No aggressive dogs please! I am home 24/7 when watching your pup. I have a huge fenced in yard for them to play and a nice indoor area as well. Our dogs are allowed on furniture and prefer it over their expensive dog beds lol.
“Laura was amazing with my off the wall super energetic 3 month old springer spaniel puppy!! She is a super experienced trainer and was amazing at providing a balance between structure/close monitoring for safety and a lot of fun play time for my girl. She sent a lot of updates and advice that was very helpful for our training as well! Laura went above and beyond and even gave me tons of training tips outside of the visit because my pup is very difficult and has been struggling with separation anxiety. Best value out of a Rover stay I’ve ever gotten!”

“An incredibly kind and compassionate human, who has a way with my beloved Westie, Charlie. It made our day to have met her and we can't wait to see her again for a walk or drop in visits this Fall.”
About: With 15 years of pet care experience, I’m dependable and attentive. I make sure every dog or cat feels comfortable, loved, and well cared for. My schedule is very flexible and open, so I can easily fit in walks, drop-ins, or overnight stays whenever needed. I plan around each pet’s routine. I treat every home and pet with the same care and respect as my own. I follow any instructions or schedules closely, and make sure pets feel safe and comfortable.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. I work full time from home, with two dogs that I care for. I factor in potty breaks into my schedule and walks during meeting that permit. I love meeting new dogs and looking after them as if they were my own! I love taking dogs for long walks or to throw the frisbee. I am trained in CPR and have tele-vet on standby 24/7. Rest assured I’ve never had to use it.
About: I retired young and have time on my hands. I love animals and have had dogs, chickens, ducks, and a very special house Bunny named Oliver. I am open on dates and times. I do have Vacation plans sometimes, but will work with people on there dates. I also know people that sit as well and take care of animals I have taken care of animals a long time and been in situations that require Vet care and fast thinking. I will treat your pet with respect Thanks
About: Have been extensively working with dogs now for over 15years. I am a world level sport dog trainer/competitor. I have a well established partnership with the PennVet Working Dog Center. I run my own dog related business, and train frequently with my own dogs so my days revolve around dogs! Drop offs/pick ups will work around my current dog training schedule. Dogs in my home must be crate trained, so everyone has their own space to relax. Non-crate trained dogs are not a candidate for my environment. I have 3 other dogs that social dogs are able to interact with. I have almost 2 acres to explore out in the country. Dogs will be walked on a long line until a fence is put in. If your dog likes car rides, he/she can tag along on pack field trips- hiking, group class, etc. I have extensive experience with high drive working/sport dogs.
About: Growing up my family had 3 pups of our own and we also fostered, so i started learning how to work with and train dogs very early on. In 2022 I started dog sitting for people in my neighbourhood. In 2024 I worked at a daycare where I started doing training sessions for some of our clients. By 2025 I got certified in pet CPR and first aid, and started working at a different daycare. I love learning about and working with dogs, and i can’t wait to meet yours! I use a training/care style that makes trust and teamwork between me and your dog, i understand that when setting new expectations or training a new skill it is up to me to help the dog understand, not get frustrated or scare them into submission. I believe patience and consistency are keys to success! I am pretty much fully available weekends, mondays, and tuesdays! Any other day of the week i am available after 6pm when i get out of work. I do not pet sit in my own home because i have 2 disabled cats, however I am willing to stay in your home to pet sit, or just stop by throughout the day/night if that is what you prefer! I can work with any of your dogs special needs and administer medications. Your dogs safety and comfort are my top priority, tell me what you need and I will make it happen!
About: I have taken care of dogs for family, friends, clients and coworkers for several years. I love animals of all kinds and am reliable, communicative, and pay close attention to pets in my care. Currently I work nights Sunday through Wednesday, so I’m currently not available for overnight stays on those days. I can stop by after work in the morning and throughout the day for check ins or walks. Thursday through Sunday (during the day) I’m available. I am happy to provide references and am also open to meeting in person beforehand so that I can answer any questions clients may have. I follow instructions to a “T” and will provide top quality care for your pets.
About: Hello, I’m Deanna! I have lived in the Buffalo area all my life & previously have had 2 dogs. I currently have a 3 year old dog at home. I have done 100+ services on another platform with a 4.98/5 rating. I am looking for some doggy’s to socialize with, provide them with activity & get some energy out! *Please note I am available for sitting but unable to sleep at the house due to childcare* I work remotely and am available during day for pets that need often check-ins. If your dog cannot be left alone for 4+ hours, I am your girl! I will follow instructions left by owner and check in with the owner if questions arise; everyone has their own routine and I want pet & parent as comfortable as possible.
About: Caring for animals has been a lifelong passion of mine. Growing up, my family and I regularly took in sick, injured, or abandoned animals, nursing them back to health and giving them the love they needed to thrive. This early experience taught me not only the basics of pet care, but also the patience, compassion, and attentiveness it takes to truly understand an animal’s needs. While I love all creatures, I have a special connection with cats and dogs, and nothing brings me more joy than making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, administering medication, or just giving them some extra love, I take pride in treating every animal as if they were my own. I am a business owner who works remote - which makes fitting pet care into my schedule fairly easy. So long as I have a day or so for notice and am not currently booked with anyone else, I can typically make myself available. I can easily provide my services in your home in order to ensure the comfort of your pets. I’m happy to take them outside to play, go for walks, feed them, snuggle them, and ensure litter boxes and yards are cleaned up during my visit.
About: Having worked as both a dog trainer and a pet care associate for PetSmart for 3+ years - as well as having always been a pet owner myself - I’ve learned a great deal about how to suit the needs of each and every pet and how to best communicate with them and accommodate their needs! As a teacher aide with summers off, I will have almost complete availability over summer. I am flexible and willing to work with you to figure out what will work best for I can comfortably handle different types of animals with my 2+ years of experience owning my own (cats, dogs, gerbils, hamsters, etc) and working with different species, as well as training dogs at my previous job as a PetSmart worker for 3+ years!
“Melissa was great and Dizzy loved her! She was a great help while I was traveling and Dizzy needed a midday walk while my wife was at work. We will definitely book Melissa again in the future!”
“I was so happy with the care Tara gave to my 2 German shepherds. She walked them daily for me and played with them with the same amount of care I give them when i was on vacation. I highly recommend her and would hire her again in the future”
“Jason is phenomenal. This was the first time we have ever used a sitter in our home before. It was very nerve-wracking to have a stranger in our home taking care of Bella. Jason sent us pictures and told us exactly when he arrived and left which gave us peace of mind that Bella was well taken care of. I will definitely be using Jason again. I would recommend him especially if good communication and good pet care are things that you value. It is so comforting to know I have a vet tech in my home if ever something should go wrong.”
About: As a dog mom to a high-energy German Shepherd/Husky mix, I’m very familiar with big dogs who need lots of exercise and structure. I also have experience caring for cats and horses, and I’m comfortable with a wide range of personalities, energy levels, and routines. As a Registered Dietitian with a special interest in canine nutrition, I care deeply about supporting pets’ health from the inside out! As a remote dietitian with a passion for animals, wellness, and staying active, dog walking fits perfectly into my flexible schedule and aligns with everything I love: movement, fresh air, and caring for animals. I’m currently pursuing dog nutrition training because I believe in supporting pets with natural, nourishing care. Whether it’s a walk or some extra playtime, I treat every dog like my own and make sure they feel happy, healthy, and loved. I follow your routine closely to help your pet feel secure and comfortable. I’m experienced with pets of all sizes and temperaments and always use positive reinforcement and gentle handling. You can count on me to respect your home, communicate clearly, and treat your pet like family.

I will only use her services to care for my dog. She us the best. Thank you so much for taking care my big baby tony.??”
“Denae and Mark were wonderful hosts for our dog, Cooper. Denae was a great communicator and provided us photos and messages to let us know how Cooper was doing during his brief weekend stay. We will be using them again!”
“Sierra was so sweet with my baby! She sent me pictures and updates every day and she even helped me out in a pinch and let me extend my reservation! I would absolutely book with her again and encourage anyone else too!!🥰”
About: I have been taking care of animals for as long as I can remember and have been pet-sitting since age 10 for family, friends, and neighbors. I have almost always lived with at least one cat or dog (or both!) throughout my life. I also have experience caring for rabbits, ferrets, gerbils, fish, parakeets, bearded dragons, and cockatiels. I currently live with two indoor tortoiseshell cats who are comfortable with dogs, and one of my cats is leash-trained. I have raised and trained at least 11 dogs from puppies to adulthood (3 as my own and the others for my parents). Most of my cats I adopted as teenagers, but I have raised a few kittens from a young age. I have done extensive dog training with the 3 dogs I raised as my own in the past, and I am familiar with both dog and cat training techniques. I live in a cabin the woods in Boston, NY, on a power line gravel road. Although I do not have a fenced in back yard, your dog will enjoy going on leashed walks down the power line road multiple times per day! I earn a living through a mix of substitute teaching (summer starts June 25th!), remote research and writing gigs, tutoring, child care, and pet care. I have a flexible schedule and incorporate pet care into the mix as much as possible because I love animals. If I am boarding a dog at my home, I will not be house sitting at that time (and vice versa). While boarding or house sitting, I will consider dog walking and drop-ins depending on the needs of the client and driving distance. If you board your dog at my home, my cats and I wake up early (about 6am) and I like to go outside for a walk down the power line road right away, and then eat breakfast. Your dog will be able to spend time with me all day (on a leash when we are outside), and if I need to leave my house, they will be in their crate for no more than 4 hours (2 is my strong preference). We will go for at least one more walk before dinner, too. I will be sure to give them plenty of play time and exercise throughout the day (depending on their level of activity and how hot it is outside). No matter what, they will get a lot of love and attention! I live in a cabin in the woods in the Town of Boston, NY, so although I do not have a fenced-in yard, there is very little traffic or people around. I will be able to go on long leashed walks with your dog down the power line for exercise, and there are a few friendly neighbor dogs that would love to say hello if your dog is up for that. I do live with two cats: one of them will hide a lot while your dog is here, but the other is very dog-friendly and will want to interact with your dog. I will monitor and separate them as needed (I have a spare room). I have always crate-trained my dogs and so long as your dog is comfortable in their crate, I will use it as a safe place for them to be while they are staying with me.
“Charlette is very kind and caring, she will take care of your fur baby as if it was her own. She communicates quickly and often, leaving you no doubt about the situation. I'm not sure how I could give her a higher recommendation, but if I could, I would!”
“Alena always takes great care of Shadow. She takes him on walks and even gave him meds that were prescribed for him at the last minute. I have booked with her several times and will continue to do so. I highly recommend her.”
“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!”
“Crystal did amazing taking care of our two dogs over the holidays for an extended stay. This was our first time leaving our dogs for multiple days and Crystal sent us lots of photos and it put my mind at ease. You can tell she definitely is experienced! She handled everything really well. Our dogs are rescues and can be timid, in all the photos she sent they looked super comfortable and right at home. I recommend Crystal to anyone looking for someone they can trust to take care of their pups!”
