“Alli was a big help with Zoey! She made her feel right at home with her time, care and attention :) We had great communication and she was very flexible when we made a few changes due to our travel plans.”
“Alina was SO great with our Henry. Her kids were inquisitive, adorable and kept Henry entertained all weekend long. Alina sent photos, videos and updates on how he was doing which kept my mind at ease. Would 100% recommend Alina. I can tell Henry loved being with them. They have a large backyard which is fenced in- which was ideal. We are so glad we found her and her family.”
“Rachel was great! And Heidi was happy while with her despite never meeting Rachel before. It warmed my heart to see her at pickup go back and forth between Rachel and our family for hugs and pets.”
About: I have taken care of all types of animals since a very young age. We one two turtles one bearded dragon and a puppy. We love animals in our home. They are what make a home complete. I am a stay home mom that has all the time to care for pets I really enjoy the company. I have a very open schedule. I have a fenced yard and many years of experience of animal care. I am responsible and caring and love to help out in times of need. I understand how scary it is to entrust your family with a stranger.
“My family had a critical medical emergency two days before a long-awaited college reunion, so no one could watch my beloved 12-year old Shih Tzu, Brady, at the last moment. I was desperate to find a sitter for my little dog and decided to try Rover.com, and Katy said she was available. Best decision I have made in years. Katy was loving and so conscientious that I never worried for the entire four days. Her house was lovely, and she cared for Brady like her own much-loved family pet. I cannot express the joy and relief this incredibly kind woman gave me during our trip to West Point. I highly recommend Rover.com and Katy.”
“Jennifer was incredible with our 9 month old puppy, Aurora. It was our first time leaving her with someone outside of family for an extended period of time and she did an awesome job of keeping our anxiety at bay. She has a huge backyard and a doggy door for puppies to roam as they wish and did a great job of keeping us updated regularly on how she was doing. Highly recommend!”
“Gina was outstanding with our fur baby. At last minute I had to find someone that I felt good about leaving my girl with. She was great from the meet and greet to the week of taking care of her. She was always sending pictures and giving me updates. Will definitely send my fur baby there again.”
“It was pretty daunting leaving my dogs with someone I had never met. My Boxer has separation anxiety so bad she got severe colitis last time I had to travel, so I knew a kennel setting would not be good for her. Getting pictures of the dogs completely relaxed and comfortable put my fears at rest almost immediately! Katie took excellent care of the dogs and took care on my worries as well! I would recommend her without hesitation :)”
About: I’ve taken care of bunnies, cats & dogs since I was 18, I am very caring and love taking care of those fury animals that are apart of your family! I may also spoil them :) I’m currently a stay at home mom so I will have plenty of time to spend with your furry friends when you are unable to! I have a big unfenced backyard of my apartment building for your fury friends to roam and have fun! My kids will also live up on your fury friends also! They are GREAT with animals
About: I have been pet sitting for most of my life. People have always trusted me with their animals - dogs, cats, tortuous, rabbits, fish, and hedgehogs to name a few. I understand that a pet is another family member and deserved to be treated as such. Hire me and have some peace of mind knowing that your pets are being loved on and cared for while you are away. My job is remote and more so dependent on my overall job being done rather than being in front of a computer for set hours. You tell me when you want me to visit and we can make it work. I live in a secure apartment with plenty of space for activities. My cats love to watch out the windows at life happening below. We have places to climb, play and nap. Great walk-able area in the heart of Downtown Bradford.
“Melissa is a true saint! My family was on a 2.5 week road trip with our 11 month old Akita puppy, Frida, when we decided to make a stop a the Great Blue Heron festival in Sherman, NY. Being on the road and leaving our puppy with a stranger seemed intimidating, especially considering her shy nature, but Melissa was great! Frida was very reserved with Melissa at first, but eventually warmed up. Melissa sent pictures and videos that showed she was having a great time. She went above and beyond to make sure Frida had access to activities that she enjoyed and even set up play dates with other young dogs. I am so so grateful we found Melissa and we were able to leave our pup with someone who put so much love and care into her time with Frida.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for the majority of my life. My current furry companion is a 5 year old Golden Retriever and two cats. I have cared for family pets and take in friends animals for short and long term. I’m currently on summer break from working in the schools, so I am very flexible schedule-wise. I live in the country and have lots of space to walk pets and enjoy the outdoors. My pets are sociable and love other people and animals. We can enjoy the outdoors, snuggle up inside, and just enjoy furry family members. Looking forward to quality time and more pets to love.

“I felt very comfortable leaving our 2 cats in Lisa’s care while we were on vacation. I appreciated the detailed reports of how our cats were doing while we were away. I would definitely trust Lisa with our cats again in the future!”
About: I am a full time vet tech with experience with all types of pets (dogs, cats, pocket pets, etc). I also used to work at a dog daycare part time. My whole career is based around caring for animals, and that's what I love to do most! I also have 2 dogs and a cat of my own. I am available to do walks and check ins on my days off from working my other job. My schedule varies but I can be relatively flexible depending on what is needed. With enough notice, I can adjust my routine as needed to accommodate to your pets' needs. I can not allow other pets into my house due to possessive behavior from my dogs. But I can accommodate any specific requests required for your pet at your home (ie medication, insulin, special food, etc). I have experience with difficult pets and am willing to take my time to get them to warm up to me.
About: Dogs and animals are my passion and my aim is to care for yours to the best of my ability! You can trust that I will make your animals my TOP priority. I work full time (8hrs a day 5 days a week) at a doggy daycare but will be able to work around my schedule during the week whether that’s walking, sitting or just a quick outing and play I will be there for your pup! I have taken care of dogs via friends and family for years and can guarantee that your animals safety is of utmost importance to me. I also currently work at a dog daycare center so i’m very well educated on many different situations that could arise with your pup! I will be sure to send updates at your request and can assure you your animals will be in good hands!
About: All the puppies I’ve had I’ve trained them. I love all animals. My dog knows how to leave a treat on her nose til I tell her to get it. I’m a stay at home mom of a 5 month old. It would be a perfect job because I could take him on walks with me. Or take him with me to take care of the animals I can’t have another dog at my house but I care for pets in every way they need to be cared for especially extra love and pets
About: Hi! I’m Kate :) i’m 25 years old with a 1 year old baby girl. I currently have 3 dogs. Jake is a 9 year old lab mix, Kit is a 7 year old chihuahua and Jordan is a 6 year old shitzu poodle. They are all so spoiled and loved. I am looking to help others with their fur kids as i am a stay at home mom! If you need me, i’ll be there. :) I am stay at home mom so i am available pretty much all the time! Whenever your pup or kitty need a friend i’ll be there! I will treat all of your furry friends just like my own. I offer every service. From walking to boarding you make it and i do it.
About: I have "officially" been petsitting consistently since 2022, but I grew up with dogs, cats, and horses as pets and my love for animals has never waned. Currently I own 2 goldendoodles and they are my "kids". Pets/services I have experience with and are willing to offer are: -Dogs (large & small), cats (house & barn), horses, rabbits, guinea pigs, fish, chickens, pigs, goats -Administering medications, eye & ear drops, supplements, and special foods for special diets -Staying overnight in clients' homes to care for pets in their usual, comfortable environments (I do not board pets in my own home) -Dropping into clients' homes to feed, let out, and/or just play with their pets or keep them company! -Light cleaning/tidying up around clients' homes, as I always like to leave them looking even better after I stay there. I strive to treat and care for my clients' pets as if they are my own, because that is what I would want and expect for my own pets! I work a full-time job in downtown Jamestown, NY Monday-Friday, usually between the hours of 10:00am-6:00pm, but these hours can be flexible at times. I also work occasional shifts at a horse farm, typically 1-3 times a week for anywhere from 2-5 hours per shift. This leaves me with the following (generally consistent) availability for pet care for my Rover clients: -Monday-Friday: Early morning feedings & check-ins; midday feedings & check-ins (if located within 15 minutes of downtown Jamestown); evening feedings, check-ins, & social interaction/hanging out once I am done with my full-time job for the day. I am even open to staying overnight in a client’s home on weeknights to ensure I am providing the best pet care I can while juggling my full-time job. -Weekends: I can typically hang around in a client’s home with your pets all day Saturday and Sunday, or I can just stop by for feedings & check-ins throughout the day. I can also typically stay overnight in a client’s home Friday, Saturday, and Sunday nights. I am willing to work to tweak my schedule as much as I can within my means, in order to meet the needs of my clients and their pets. :) I prefer to only care for my clients' pets in their own home since pets are typically most comfortable in their usual environments. As long as I am at a client's home, pets will receive more than just the minimum care and attention they require. I will gladly engage in their favorite activities with them, whether that be fetch, snuggling on the couch, or giving them belly rubs!

“Rachel has been very good to Sweet Pea and easy to communicate with. By our third drop off for daycare, Sweet Pea was bounding up the steps to go hang out with her and Jasper! I know she'll be in good hands for future stays, will be glad to book again.”

“Katie was incredible and Juno had a blast staying with her! This was our first time using Rover, and we needed an in-home doggy daycare for a few days of our vacation. Katie was the best communicator (prompt and friendly) and took great care of our pup! She went on multiple walks, had a basket full of toys to play with, and had her own doggie bed. We loved seeing pictures on her report card! Overall a wonderful experience and couldn’t recommend Katie further! 🙂”
About: I have had dogs all my life and spent over 20 years as a Pet Groomer both in a shop and mobile. I have had continued education in cat grooming, dog grooming, skin care, etc. I specialized in senior and anxiety dogs. I have had upward of 9 dogs at one time and they did not all get along. I have also owned a diabetic dog. I also have a Reiki background. Currently I am retired from pet grooming and I own another business that is seasonal therefore my schedule is pretty flexible and my availability is pretty open too. I have a small fenced yard in a low traffic community that is good for walks too. I am familiar with crate training and can accommodate that if needed. I also have gates if access needs to be limited to parts of my house. Example, I do have stairs and can block them if pet is unable to do stairs.

Adventure-ready dog walkers - Akeley
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 30 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats. I’ve worked part-time for veterinarians and independently managed a veterinary kennel on weekends, where I was responsible for daily care, feeding, medications, exercise, and closely monitoring each pet’s health and comfort. I have extensive experience with senior pets, and senior dogs hold a special place in my heart. I’m attentive, patient, and very comfortable following special routines, administering medications, and noticing subtle changes that might signal a problem. When I’m dog walking or house sitting, I focus on consistency, calm energy, and making sure pets feel safe and cared for in their own environment. I treat every animal as if they were my own and aim to give pet parents complete peace of mind while they’re away. As a retired VP of marketing and advertising, I maintain a flexible schedule so I can prioritize your pet’s needs. I’m available for daytime walks, extended stays, and can often accommodate last-minute requests. I often split my time between Warren, PA, and Cleveland, OH, so I accept bookings in both areas. Basically, I go (or stay) where I'm needed. Safety and trust are at the core of my care. I'll follow your pet’s routine, provide close attention to their well-being, and treat your home with care and respect.
About: I grew up in a house hold where we always had some sort of four legged critters. From breeding to part of the family. I prefer four legged companion than 2. It's therapeutic to just chill with someone who just wants to be loved and played with. I've relocated to be closer to my mom. So I'm looking for work to pay my bills. I love animals, so why wouldn't this be an awesome way to make money and play with four legged critters. All care be done in the client's home. So pets are familiar with own surroundings and have a better experience with a random stranger, when it comes to caring for others four legged family member.
