“Erin was available on very short notice for a holiday weekend for both of our pups. We have to very sweet, happy boys, but they are both big…one being a giant Newfoundland who is full of 1 y/o energy 😉 She was so accommodating and sent us updates and photos so we knew the boys were doing just fine. She was quick to respond and the boys were happy as could be. We would definitely come to Erin for future needs again!”

“Jennifer was amazing with my dog, Pablo! She cared for him like he was her own and kept me updated every day with photos and notes, which gave me so much peace of mind. Pablo was happy, well-loved, and so comfortable with her. I highly recommend Jennifer to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving sitter!”
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life, growing up in a home filled with pets of all kinds. Caring for animals comes naturally to me, and I genuinely love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I have experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, breeds, and temperaments, including those with special medical needs or health conditions. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, shy and reserved, or requires extra patience and attention, I’ll provide compassionate, reliable care tailored to their individual needs. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, loved, and comfortable while giving you complete peace of mind knowing they’re in caring, experienced hands. I currently own a business and have a very flexible schedule with plenty of time to care for my furry friends! I live with my husband and two boys ages 10 & 15; who are also very helpful with any pet needs especially play time and walks. I prioritize every pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being by providing a clean, secure, and loving environment. I have a fenced backyard for safe outdoor time, a pet-free home with no other animals, and I always maintain close supervision, follow routines, and give each pet the individual attention they deserve.
“First time using Rover with our Dog. Allan did a great job watching our dog. He provide updates daily with pictures and was very responsive to messages. Would highly recommend and would definitely have Allan watch our Dog again. Thanks Allan!”
“What can I say about Kristie? She was incredible with my pup. He’s a bit of a finicky boy, and this was his first experience not at a kennel while dad was away. After asking great questions to get an understanding m, we did a meet and greet and Reggie seemed to enjoy, so we went ahead with the booking. Throughout my 7 day trip, I got plenty of updates and pics (peep the gallery). Kristie took the time to get to know the pup, checked in with me to get insights, and tailored her interactions and expectations to match my goober’s needs. 10/10 recommend, and hope to rebook whenever I need a sitter!”
“Bazinga looked so happy staying at Rachel’s for the weekend. From the pictures she shared and the regular updates I could tell he was well taken care of. The only problem I had is that he didn’t look like he wanted to come home after a fun weekend playing with his new friends. 10 out of 10 would definitely recommend Rachel. We don’t travel a lot but I’m sure we’ll be back when we do.”
“We are so glad we chose LaTonya to care for our Molly! She sent lots of pictures and kept us in the loop with how Molly was doing. We are grateful for her caring for our pup and would recommend her highly!”
“Ashley was GREAT! She sent pictures and updates every day while I was gone. She even called me when Gatsby had a bit of diarrhea. I would definitely use her again. Thank you Ashley and Rover!”
“Jennifer was amazing and helped us out so much in a pinch. Highly recommend and would definitely board with her again! She sent lots of pictures and gave us a peace of mind his entire stay.”
“Zuri is amazing! Our dogs, Luca and Loki, had so much fun at Zuri’s house and they were so well taken care of that we couldn’t be happier. We’ll definitely use Zuri’s services again and highly recommend her to others.”
“Logan and Ellie are amazing people. We left our dogs with them and couldn’t be happier. They took such great care of them and kept us updated the whole time, sending us photos, which gave us great peace of mind. We will definitely book with them again.”
“Breanna & Clay took the most amazing care of our "special needs" pup, Yogi, for a 10 day visit, they were absolutely amazing in calming our fears of leaving him for such a long time. Yogi thrived while staying with them, and they provided the most adorable pictures and videos throughout the stay! After many pet sitters being used throughout the years, we were finally able to relax on a vacation without worry! 10/10 will be using them again, we actually just booked them for our next trip! If you want a worry free vacation knowing your pup is in good hands, book with these two!!”
“Melissa did an amazing job with my two boys! I could tell how much they loved spending time with her and her sister. The boys came home happy and well rested. She was very communicative and kind throughout the entire process and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for boarding services! I am looking forward to re-booking in the future. Thank you again!!!”
“Definitely recommend Madison to watch my pup. She has few other dogs and I was not sure how she would react with other dogs as she likes to play but can sometimes be a handful. Madison was nice enough to meet Nala before I even booked and let her meet her dogs so we could see how they would react. She put my mind at ease by sending videos and pictures during Nalas stay showing me how Nala was getting along with her pups and just having a grand ole time. She has plenty of field for dogs to run around and enjoy/ tire themselves out. Will definitely be trusting her with my pup again and can not recommend her enough.”
“I recently boarded my dog, Wolfie, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. He was walked every day, and it was clear he had a fantastic time. The picture updates were a wonderful touch; they showed just how happy he was. Jayden and his family who took care of Wolfie was truly wonderful, providing exceptional service and demonstrating a high level of professionalism. The quality of care was excellent, and the price was very affordable for the outstanding service received. Overall, I highly recommend this dog boarding service. Wolfie had a great time, and I appreciate the peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands.”
“sandy was fantastic per usual! my pup always gets so excited to see sandy and it makes my heart so happy! i feel good leaving my pup in sandy’s care because i know she’s going to be well loved & cared for in my absence. thank you for being awesome sandy and for loving on naga!”

“Kendall helped us out on short notice today when our regular dog sitters weren’t available,and gave updates on our dogs after each visit. She was prompt and we are thankful for her help!”
“Margaret and Travis were fantastic! They took care of my two cats while I was away for a weekend, and they were so kind, attentive, and communicative throughout. They provided detailed updates with each visit, and sent me lots of photos of my baby boys. My one cat who thrives on attention definitely had a good time during their visits. I would absolutely recommend Margaret and Travis without hesitation!”

“Stephanie was beyond amazing -- every day she was on-time or early, spent tons of time loving my kitties, and went out of her way to clean even when not asked to so that when we came home from a long trip, it wouldn't be stressful. Will be rebooking with her asap, she made traveling so easy for us.”
“Emily is the best. She is so communicative and patient! My cat is shy, but emily is now on the coveted list of people who have gotten to see her sweet and social side, which says a lot about how wonderful she is! She catered to my old lady cat’s needs with no issues. Emily is amazing!”
“I’ll be booking Samantha every time I go out of town from here on out! I had to book a cat sitter last minute and she fit me right into her schedule and was such a pleasure to have look after my sweet girl! She sent me updates daily with lots of pictures that really put my mind at ease while away from home. 10/10 recommend her services!!”
“Sandy’s been reliably awesome, taking care of our kitties while we’re away and going the extra mile to keep the litter box clean, and amazing at communicating throughout! Thank you very much :)”
“Always great communication and willing to a few extras when you schedule is a little haywire. Easy to work with and Lucy is very calm upon our return so we know she is feeling comfy with Chloe. Attention to detail and cleanliness are other factors we love. Will continue to request her services for Lucy as we travel.”
“Autumn is an amazing Rover. She is on time, very patient, and has great communication skills. Once again did so well with our rescue dog, who is still learning how to live a normal doggie life. Very happy to have found Autumn & recommend to anyone.”
“Christina is wonderful!—from her kindness with us to the care she pours into our Willow (dog). We can travel with peace of mind knowing Christina has Willow well cared for. 💓”
“Kami did a great job taking care of my older tuxedo cat Jordan! She was very kind and provided updates and photos for every visit. The drop-in visits were only thirty minutes but I could tell the attention to detail and care that went in to her visit. Kami, followed feeding instructions to the "T" and did well to maintain a clean litter pan area, especially due to my cat's tendency to have accidents outside of his designated bathroom area. Kami even took out the trash, so when I arrived home there was no unwelcoming smells. My experience with Kami was fantastic, and I'm sure Jordan appreciated her efforts as well. He even waited at the door for her arrival the next day! If you are going out of town, and need someone to take care of you pet. I highly recommend Kami's services. Happy Holidays!”
“George and his wife were wonderful! They took great care of my cat and kept me up to date with anything going on. They even stopped by to bring packages in. Will be using them again.”
“Stephanie offers pet parents excellent communication and is a very responsible sitter. Our cats love Stephanie, even the super skittish one. We look forward to booking her again.”
“Rachel is wonderful taking care about our cats, she is great with them and also leaving the cat litter box area clean. Desmond and Bolica are super happy to get she as cat sitter, we have repeated with her and we continue to do it.”
“Gemma was incredibly friendly, dependable, and excellent at keeping in touch with me. Each visit she took tons of pictures, and it was easy to see that my kitty was completely at ease and well taken care of. I would not hesitate to book her again, and I'm sure my kitty agrees with me!”

About: We will spoil your pups as if they are our own! I work from home and my husband and daughter are also home in the evenings. You can rest assured your pet will have plenty of attention from our family and from our dogs. We have used Rover services many times ourselves and we know that leaving your dog in the care of others can make you feel nervous. We will be certain to send pics and/or videos to keep you update on the well being of your loved one(s). Our dogs will love and love on your dog. As I work from home I have a lot of availability and flexibility to fit your schedule! We have a fenced in yard with dog door access. Your dogs will have as much access to the inside, or outside as you or they would prefer. Our two friendly pups will love to play either way.
“It was the first time we’d left our little one with a dog sitter, and we were a little worried because ever since we adopted her, she’s always been very shy and tends to be afraid of strangers, but Jenifer was amazing with Hazel. She was extremely friendly and kept us updated on our little ball of fur, making her feel like she was part of a second family. My husband and I are very happy—we’ll definitely be back.”
“If you’re looking for someone in the Fort Drum area, you found her. Maddie is very quick to get ahold of, and is beyond flexible. I was delayed one night to pick up Eva from daycare and Maddie was quick to offer to let her stay the night, that helped very much. Also, Eva was so relaxed there, she really wasn’t in a hurry to leave; which never happens.”
About: What sets me apart is my experience caring for pets with diverse personalities, health conditions, and behavioral needs. I have helped care for a Husky for nine years, managing health challenges and providing consistent, patient care. I also care for rescued cats and have experience pet sitting cats that require special attention around other animals. I focus on building trust, following routines, and ensuring every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. Pet care is already a regular part of my daily routine. I care for my own cats every day and have experience providing care for both dogs and cats through feeding, playtime, exercise, medication schedules when needed, and companionship. My flexible schedule allows me to dedicate time to walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting while ensuring each pet receives attentive, reliable care and plenty of affection. When caring for pets, I follow their established routine as closely as possible to help pets feel comfortable and secure. This includes feeding, providing fresh water, walks, playtime, litter box cleaning, administering basic care instructions, and giving pets plenty of attention and companionship. I pay close attention to each pet's behavior, health, and comfort level and provide regular updates to owners. My goal is to ensure pets receive safe, reliable, and compassionate care while maintaining the environment and routine they are accustomed to. With a spacious house, I easily can keep my two cats away if a pet doesn’t enjoy their presence. Though my cats are lovers of all, I understand if other pets aren’t the same.
“Angelika provided last minute care for my dog. She was quick to reply, flexible, kind, and friendly. Charley had a great time, spent time outside, went on a walk, and snuggle on the couch. It was a great day!! Highly recommend!!!”

About: Hello! My name is John’Asia. As you may see by viewing my photos, I have a huge heart for fur babies. It all started when I volunteered at a local animal shelter in my hometown.

“Samantha took care of our 5 month old puppy and she was great! He stayed over night with her and he had a great time! Her dog gets along with others and Tito was so excited to have a playmate for the day! She has experience with fostering dogs so she definitely knows how to care for them! Would recommend anyone to her for day care needs!!”
“Celene is legitimately the best dog sitter you could ask for. She not only is an early riser but is a night owl. Celene sends updates and ask questions without even being asked. She not only puts effort in towards jaxsons training she has even went out of her way to teach us on how we could be doing different/better. Celene also makes sure that jaxson gets the proper food/water/bathroom breaks as he needs. He doesn't come back hungry, needing to potty, or beat up. Penny, celenes dog, is hands down the cutest little thing I've ever seen. When I get there she is happy to greet me at the door with kisses and tail wags. Jaxson also loves penny and always comes back PROPERLY wore out. My final thoughts are if I could had another grandma I would ask her. Shes been there for us EVERY time we've need her and that's at the end of the day all I could ask.”

About: Hi! I grew up on a hobby farm of sorts - chickens, goats, calves, guinea pigs, cats, dogs, and even the occasional injured wild bird or rabbit. I have since moved around, explored the country, and landed here in Henry County. During my trvels, I voluntered at many shelters as well as adopted 5 dogs who have sinced crossed the rainbow bridge. I now have two big squishy pups who love traveling and soaking up rays of sunshine. I work from home during the week and have a few home depot shifts on the weekend. I work from home during the week and home depot on the weekends. We like going for morning and evening walks along with some rolling around in the back yard over lunch. This will depend on the pet and his/her personality. I have many ways of separating animals should it be needed. Or, if wveryone is getting along, we have a nice big back ars for playtime and wrastling.

We have to very sweet, happy boys, but they are both big…one being a giant Newfoundland who is full of 1 y/o energy 😉 She was so accommodating and sent us updates and photos so we knew the boys were doing just fine.

Whether your pet is energetic and playful, shy and reserved, or requires extra patience and attention, I’ll provide compassionate, reliable care tailored to their individual needs. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, loved, and comfortable while giving you complete peace of mind knowing they’re in caring, experienced hands. I currently own a business and have a very flexible schedule with plenty of time to care for my furry friends! I live with my husband and two boys ages 10 & 15; who are also very helpful with any pet needs especially play time and walks. I prioritize every pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being by providing a clean, secure, and loving environment. I have a fenced backyard for safe outdoor time, a pet-free home with no other animals, and I always maintain close supervision, follow routines, and give each pet the individual attention they deserve.
“What can I say about Kristie? She was incredible with my pup. He’s a bit of a finicky boy, and this was his first experience not at a kennel while dad was away. After asking great questions to get an understanding m, we did a meet and greet and Reggie seemed to enjoy, so we went ahead with the booking. Throughout my 7 day trip, I got plenty of updates and pics (peep the gallery). Kristie took the time to get to know the pup, checked in with me to get insights, and tailored her interactions and expectations to match my goober’s needs. 10/10 recommend, and hope to rebook whenever I need a sitter!”
“Bazinga looked so happy staying at Rachel’s for the weekend. From the pictures she shared and the regular updates I could tell he was well taken care of. The only problem I had is that he didn’t look like he wanted to come home after a fun weekend playing with his new friends. 10 out of 10 would definitely recommend Rachel. We don’t travel a lot but I’m sure we’ll be back when we do.”
“Jennifer was amazing and helped us out so much in a pinch. Highly recommend and would definitely board with her again! She sent lots of pictures and gave us a peace of mind his entire stay.”
“Zuri is amazing! Our dogs, Luca and Loki, had so much fun at Zuri’s house and they were so well taken care of that we couldn’t be happier. We’ll definitely use Zuri’s services again and highly recommend her to others.”
“Logan and Ellie are amazing people. We left our dogs with them and couldn’t be happier. They took such great care of them and kept us updated the whole time, sending us photos, which gave us great peace of mind. We will definitely book with them again.”
“Breanna & Clay took the most amazing care of our "special needs" pup, Yogi, for a 10 day visit, they were absolutely amazing in calming our fears of leaving him for such a long time. Yogi thrived while staying with them, and they provided the most adorable pictures and videos throughout the stay! After many pet sitters being used throughout the years, we were finally able to relax on a vacation without worry! 10/10 will be using them again, we actually just booked them for our next trip! If you want a worry free vacation knowing your pup is in good hands, book with these two!!”
“Melissa did an amazing job with my two boys! I could tell how much they loved spending time with her and her sister. The boys came home happy and well rested. She was very communicative and kind throughout the entire process and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for boarding services! I am looking forward to re-booking in the future. Thank you again!!!”
“Definitely recommend Madison to watch my pup. She has few other dogs and I was not sure how she would react with other dogs as she likes to play but can sometimes be a handful. Madison was nice enough to meet Nala before I even booked and let her meet her dogs so we could see how they would react. She put my mind at ease by sending videos and pictures during Nalas stay showing me how Nala was getting along with her pups and just having a grand ole time. She has plenty of field for dogs to run around and enjoy/ tire themselves out. Will definitely be trusting her with my pup again and can not recommend her enough.”
“I recently boarded my dog, Wolfie, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. He was walked every day, and it was clear he had a fantastic time. The picture updates were a wonderful touch; they showed just how happy he was. Jayden and his family who took care of Wolfie was truly wonderful, providing exceptional service and demonstrating a high level of professionalism. The quality of care was excellent, and the price was very affordable for the outstanding service received. Overall, I highly recommend this dog boarding service. Wolfie had a great time, and I appreciate the peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands.”
“sandy was fantastic per usual! my pup always gets so excited to see sandy and it makes my heart so happy! i feel good leaving my pup in sandy’s care because i know she’s going to be well loved & cared for in my absence. thank you for being awesome sandy and for loving on naga!”
“We have 2 Yorkies, Cody and Emma, who are like our babies. We just don't let anyone watch them unless we feel 100% sure about their stay. Cindy is a total dog lover and is a very welcoming person. She watched Cody and Emma over Memorial Day weekend and sent us pictures everyday. Her home is warm and inviting and I love the fact that her backyard is safe and secure even for our Emma who is only 6 pounds. They had every comfort of home with Cindy. I will definitely request Cindy for future boarding and would highly recommend her services if you need a loving home for your pet.”
“Suzanne watched our dog for about 4 days and he really enjoyed his time there and playing with her dogs and in the backyard. She sent us a picture everyday so we could see what he's up too. We'd definitely use her again when we're in the area again.”
“Im so glad i found maddie! She was so accomodating and enthusiastic about watching our dog for a couple days. She had no trouble handling my dog, even though he struggles with anxiety and food aggression. She gave candor all the attention he needed, and he came home a very happy dog.”
