“My dog had a great stay with Steve and Patty! He had a great time with the other dogs and came home home happy. Steve was great to work with and it was easy to schedule and drop off/pick up my pup. Thank you! We’ll be back!”
“During the introduction meeting Carolina and her family were all so welcoming and kind and Carolina was obviously on point professionally so I was completely comfortable with leaving Onyx with them. The appointment went very smoothly and I highly recommend her to anyone needing a dog-sitter.”
“Dana was wonderful! She sent us photos and video of our golden, Wally during his stay and also sent text messages to let us know how he was doing. We felt so comfortable leaving Wally in her care. Thank you so much Dana for taking such good care of our boy!”
“I could not have asked for a better dog sitter for my babies. My two have their own quirks and she and her partner did so great at taking good care of them and learning about them.”
“Bee was a joy to deal with sent me many pictures of Maddie..Maddie enjoyed being with her dog Harley and she was very well taken care of. Would recommend anyone boarding their dog with her”
“Leaving Frances and Dexter for more than a night — especially while traveling internationally for a full week — was something I was incredibly anxious about. Mary exceeded every expectation I had and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. This was Dexter’s first extended stay away from me, and within the first few days he developed some stress-related GI issues from the transition. Mary handled everything with incredible patience, compassion, and attentiveness. She prepared special food, administered medication once it was dropped off, and treated him with such genuine tenderness and understanding. I could tell she truly cared about his emotional well-being. What stood out immediately was how quickly she understood both dogs’ completely different personalities. Frances is fearless, social, and playful, while Dexter is much more sensitive and cautious — and Mary connected with both of them so naturally. It was obvious they genuinely enjoyed their time with her and the other dogs. Her communication throughout the stay was exceptional. She sent frequent updates, photos, and videos every day, and seeing Frances and Dexter relaxed, playing, cuddling, and becoming more confident gave me so much reassurance while I was overseas. Most importantly, Mary helped build Dexter’s confidence during a stressful transition. Anyone who has experience with rescue dogs understands how important patience, calm energy, and emotional sensitivity are, and Mary absolutely has that gift. When I picked them up, they were excited to see me — but it was also obvious they had formed a real bond with Mary and their new friends. Honestly, that told me everything I needed to know. I cannot recommend her highly enough. Frances and Dexter were loved, safe, understood, and beautifully cared for from start to finish.”
“Joelene was awesome. She kept us informed with pictures while we were away every day and let us know if as situation(s) came up. We would definitely use her again if the need comes up.”
“Kathryn and Jared were great with our female pittie with her 11 day stay. Their dogs welcomed her, and they had a great time just by looking at the pictures they sent. We will definitely use them the next time we go on vacation.”
“Christine took our new puppy while we got married and did an awesome job of caring for her. I would recommend her 10/10 she has a great love for animals and I can’t wait to use her again in the future.”
“Charlene was so accommodating and took great care of our dog! Scout seemed very comfortable there and had a great time! She even got a bath after getting so dirty while playing hard. We picked up a happy, clean dog after our trip. I definitely recommend Charlene and her husband to anyone needing a dog sitter!”
“Lennox always seems happy after his stays with Carissa and Judge and leaps out of the car as soon as we get to her house to see her and his best buddy! It’s comforting to know that he looks forward to the stays and feels comfortable going there - one less thing to worry about while traveling…..”
“We were extremely pleased with the care and attention that Michelle gave to our dog Dixie. She took great care of our dog and when we came to pick her up, I think Dixie would have been happy to stay longer. The house, the accommodations and the caretaker were perfect for our dog and she was very relaxed when we came to pick her up. Michelle was a very good "fit" for us and Dixie. We definitely would use Michelle again.”
“Elizabeth was great! Organized and responsive! She and her family truly let Coach be a part of theirs! In fact, when my dog’s stuffy lost an arm, she sewed it back on for him. Updated were helpful. Coach came back a happy pup!!”
“Vicki and her family treated our Ollie like family! We were so happy with his stay - regular pics and updates helped me feel at ease with being away from our new pup for five days. We knew he was in good hands, and you can sense that Vicki is a true dog lover. She was also flexible with travel delays and patient with my questions. Ollie got lots of attention and time to play in the fenced-in yard. He looks forward to running around again one day with his new buddy, Wyatt, and the family cat! Thank you, Vicki, for welcoming our dear Ollie into your home so warmly!”
About: I am a pre-veterinary student with a lifelong love of animals. I grew up caring for three dogs, which taught me how to be patient, responsible, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs.

“Luann was absolutely wonderful. My Willow is only 8 months old and had never stayed somewhere outside our home and was very anxious and unsettled at night. Luann made special accommodations for her, sacrificing her own sleep schedule to try and settle Willow. She also watched out for Leroy (our newly christened "tripod" dog as he was still healing from surgery. I cannot thank her enough and would recommend her to anyone looking for a safe place for their dog to stay.”

“Darcy was outstanding. She was great with the dogs, sent lots of pictures, even offered to stop by extra if the dogs were afraid of thunderstorms. She communicated promptly and was willing to bring in the mail for us. I can certainly recommend her, and will contact her again should the need arise. Thank you, Darcy.”
“Colleen was very responsive to all messages and came out very early to keep my cats on their regular feeding schedule. They all have very specific food needs and she did a good job ensuring that they were receiving the right food and mixing in enough water. She left good feedback as well to make sure their eating habits were in line with normal. She also was able to get close enough to our shyest cat to send a photo at every visit.”
“Great services. Carissa is really patient and thoughtful taking care of my cats. And she always tries best to do all care stuff and asks me if she has any concerns. She sent me many photos during the drop-in visit and my cats are really comfortable with her, even the timid one. I really appreciate her help while I am out of town. And I will select her service again if I am out of town in the future.”
“Amber was excellent, excellent, excellent! She was on time morning and evening giving our cat his food and insulin injections. She communicated with us frequently complete with photos. I highly recommend Amber.”
“I can't say enough good things about Johnna. This was my first time having Johnna pet sit for my dog and three casts. She sent me several pictures of the pets and wrote informative reviews of how they were doing. Johnna walked Flossy, my dog each day. She was meticulous in terms of picking up after the animals. When I returned I found the house in order. Johnna is pleasant to work with. I highly recommend her.”
About: Although I have never owned a cat of my own, I absolutely love cats and look forward to caring for yours. I have experience caring for shelter cats, where I helped meet their daily needs, including feeding, providing fresh water, cleaning their spaces, playing with them, and giving them attention and affection. As a pre-veterinary student with experience working in a veterinary office, I understand the importance of being patient, gentle, and attentive to each cat’s individual personality and routine.
About: Hi, Everyone! My name is Cara. Thank you for visiting my page. My strong admiration for animals has only grown more with the more animals I meet and as a result, it brings me genuine happiness. It is a rewarding experience to be able to take care of any animal that needs it while their owner is away. Since starting Rover in August 21’, I’ve had 10+ repeat clients and have established great friendships with families/people in the community as a result. I have a M-F teaching position 8am-4pm and summer months off. I am currently a part time Binghamton University graduate student studying for a masters degree in early childhood special education. A little history: I grew up with a miniature schnauzer (Zoie) whom towards the end of her life, needed constant supervision and was administered medicine 3x/ day, grooming/washing daily. I was always there to comfort her until the end of her life and spoiled her beyond belief. Myself and my family provided care to my mini schnauzer for over 12 years. As a child, I never had a dog sitter to send updates, pictures/videos for my sweet Zoie when my family would travel, so I strongly understand the importance of quick and reliable communication/sending updates while you’re away to ease your anxiety. Experience - administering medicine/injections - cats, big dogs, small dogs, senior animals, special needs pets, pigs, cows, chickens. -exercise/run with your pet -hospice/end of life care (Repositioning every hour, hand feeding, massages, cooking packs, frozen bone broth snacks on warmer days, the list goes on) Pets and animals deserve to be spoiled but most importantly, they deserve to be loved. I have a white pitbull fur baby (Minnie). Shes a loyal, sweet and well behaved dog, I’m so lucky and thankful for her every day as she brings me so much happiness. She stays at home with her other best friend, my significant other while I’m away. If you think I’d be a good fit for your fur baby or have any questions or concerns, I’m here to answer them all and hope you will consider me to take care of your pet. I work M-F through a nearby school, being able to provide supervision to animals while I am home. Check my calendar for the most up to date availability, please 😌 House sitting: Provide overnight care, 24/7 care, other responsibilities to care for your home while you are away (watering plants, picking up mail, cleaning, etc.) Always love to send picture and video updates 2-3x/a day of your furry one to ensure you are comfortable and know that your animal is well cared for and happy in my care!
About: I think what sets me apart is all the experience I have had with dogs. We have had dogs since I was a baby. We have had labs, Havanese, mixed breeds and doodles. My family always lived on a farm with tons of animals, so we always had many pups. We have cared from them since they were puppies and when some had cancer and were sick. I will make sure to love and take care of your pup as if they were my own. They will always be in good hands. I work from home, so I am available everyday at any time and weekends! My routine will be around your pups schedule. I will make anything work to make things easier for you. If pets are in my home, they will be comfortable as if it was their own. My yard is fenced in, so they can play in the back. I always have the water bowls filled and will keep them on their food schedule. My dogs sleep in my room with me, so if you don’t mind your pup will have it’s own spot in my room to sleep too!
“Robyn was very punctual and sent timely updates after each visit. I knew our boy was in good hands in her care. I would absolutely work with Robyn again for my large breed guardian dog. Thank you Robyn”
“Lori is a great sitter. Gracie (the cat) pulled her antics as normal and Lori was concerned with her well being. Thank you for the great overall concern and the cute pictures she took. Lori is in my book for future bookings. Thank you again!”
About: The picture I have set is actually my own cat King Zoro! That’s my mini bestie. I have had experience with lots of cats throughout my life. Also giving my cat eye drops, bathing and grooming him so he can feel his best! I prefer cats that are easier going but am willing to be around other personalities too.
About: I grew up with a cat and have owned my own for about 2 1/2 years. One of my cats is highly energetic and struggles with anxiety so for any of your pets that need daily medications, I have plenty of experience administering oral medications. I also know that finding a sitter that I trust with my furbabies can be difficult, especially if they’ve only ever worked with dogs. Cats have their own unique needs and language. You want someone who can understand that and having my own kitties gives me that perspective. If you have any questions about how I can meet your cat care needs, please reach out!

I have 2 dog who absolutely loves other dogs they will make sure your dog gets exercise but if needed I’m more than comfortable making sure your pup has a quiet space I do require a crate to come with your pup. I also prefer them to be spayed or neutered but that’s on a case to case basis. My children are also really good with dogs and loves playing fetch with them
“Wonderful! Great communication. We dropped off bright and early on a Sunday, before visiting day for a local camp, and Allawr and her partner were there and ready, very comfortable with a dog with a cone (for a mild abrasion on his foot).”
“Kathryn and Jared have been great with our pittie. They've gone the extra mile to make our girl feel welcome, and now after 4 visits she is running to the door of their house when we get there. I recommend Kathryn and Jared whole heartedly. We look forward to having them watch our girl while we are on vacation.”

“They welcomed both my dogs with open arms. One is a dog that is a little stand off-ish with new people and places but they were patient with him. And the other is a young puppy and they did not have an issue with the "puppy behaviors". I worked a very long day and I was so happy to have them be able to watch them. The dogs were nice and tired when I picked them up and they even got some nice goodies.”

“Aurora had a lovely retreat in the country with Amber in a beautiful setting with plenty of care and cuddles. I immediately felt comfortable with Aurora spending the day with Amber who is warm, friendly and clearly has a special way with animals. She kept me posted on Aurora’s adventures throughout the day. Hope Aurora has a chance to visit again!”

About: I am a pre-veterinary student with a lifelong love of animals. I grew up caring for three dogs, which taught me how to be patient, responsible, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs. I also have experience working in a veterinary office, where I gained valuable knowledge about animal care, behavior, and safety. I would love the opportunity to care for your pets and will treat them with the same love and attention I give my own. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life since I have three dogs of my own. Feeding, walking, grooming, and playing with them is just built into my routine. I genuinely enjoy the structure and joy they bring, and caring for animals has become second nature to me. At home, I keep my dogs on a consistent routine with feeding, walks, play, and grooming. I’ll care for your pets the same way—with love, attention, and reliability, making sure they feel safe and happy while in my care.
About: I think what sets me apart is all the experience I have had with dogs. We have had dogs since I was a baby. We have had labs, Havanese, mixed breeds and doodles. My family always lived on a farm with tons of animals, so we always had many pups. We have cared from them since they were puppies and when some had cancer and were sick. I will make sure to love and take care of your pup as if they were my own. They will always be in good hands. I work from home, so I am available everyday at any time and weekends! My routine will be around your pups schedule. I will make anything work to make things easier for you. If pets are in my home, they will be comfortable as if it was their own. My yard is fenced in, so they can play in the back. I always have the water bowls filled and will keep them on their food schedule. My dogs sleep in my room with me, so if you don’t mind your pup will have it’s own spot in my room to sleep too!
About: I’ve always had pets since I was a toddler. I’ve always took care of my pets, my grandparents pets & I’m really good with animals. I’m usually always available! I’m self employed and do instacart, doordash, Rover, Uber, Uber Eats, etc so I can usually fit anything into my schedule! I have a yard. (It’s not fenced in yet, working on it.) I’m a huge animal person so your animals will always be well taken care of & loved in my care.
“Erin was great with Baxter - he loved going on walks with her! Erin is easy to work with and is good at responding to questions and changes in schedule. She’s very friendly and responsible! We’ll definitely book her again in the future!”
“Another excellent walk under challenging circumstances. Even with thunderstorms and tornado watches- Lori made her way to our house to give the dogs reassurance and support. She made sure the got out for a short time to complete their “business”.”
About: I’ve taken care of lots of pets over the years. I enjoy being around animals and showing them love because they do the same for us! I have a genuine love for taking care of things if I can help it and I’m going to school to even become a nurse. I also started a house plant hobby. Taking care of things is just in my blood. I’m available more in the evenings . My schedule is flexible but inconsistent because I’m part time at my jobs but we can discuss availability if you book me to take care of your pet(s)! I have a fenced in back yard and just one cat. I’m able to keep them separated if needed. I also have my own home and it’s a smoke free one! I’m very clean and clean my home daily. I let my cat on the couches so yours will be allowed the same if they are not dirty of course.
About: I've cared for pets of all kinds since l was 10. My experience includes training puppies, caring for senior dogs, administering medication, and providing personalized love and attention. My open availability makes it easy to accommodate your needs. I provide boarding, day walk-ins, and visit-ins to ensure your pet gets the care they deserve. I have a safe, welcoming environment for pets including pet lobby. I prioritize their comfort and safety and tailor my care to each pet's needs.
About: Starting from a young age I knew I needed to be a pet care provider. Starting in high school I worked at several barns providing care for various livestock and companion animal species alike. While I love our livestock, I find more fulfillment in helping our household pets. I’m currently working on an animal care and behavior degree, and work at an animal hospital. I have experience in giving oral medications (to both dogs and cats) as well as subcutaneous fluids. I’ve managed several complex medication plans and understand how important a regular routine is for our pets. If you think we would be a good fit please reach out with any questions you may have. I do work full-time during work days, however, I can accommodate your pets needs during the day as long as we have clear communication. Aside from my full time work schedule, I’m dedicated to making sure your pets get the highest quality of care possible. Every pet is different! What works for one animal may throw your own pet into a panic and I’m here to make sure we can create a routine for your pet that makes them the most comfortable when you can’t be there. If your dog needs outside time and you don’t have a yard, let’s find the closest park or walking trail! Do your pets become anxious over night? I’ll be there to snuggle their worries away and provide all the pepperoni and churu they could ask for. Whatever your pets needs are, we’ll have an open line for communication throughout their time with me to ensure both you and them are happy.
About: While I'm more experienced with cats in my home, I have always been the go-to pet sitter for all friends and family. I appreciate that they get just as excited to go for a w-a-l-k as I do. It helps that my schedule is extremely flexible since I'm a bartender who works odd hours. I can do early mornings, late nights, and a mix of anything you need in between. I'm a bartender, so I am available early mornings, late nights, and a good mix of anything in between. The bar I work at is also closed on Sundays and Mondays, so scheduling on those days is completely flexible. My cats are fairly active, so we spend quite a bit of time playing fetch or hide and seek (cats are so odd). I also take them on bike rides with my bike trailer attachment. I'm also equipped to handle medication needs. I don't crate my cats when I'm not home, so that would have to be provided by the client if there is a requirement for one.

Ollie got lots of attention and time to play in the fenced-in yard. He looks forward to running around again one day with his new buddy, Wyatt, and the family cat! Thank you, Vicki, for welcoming our dear Ollie into your home so warmly!”

“Luann was absolutely wonderful. My Willow is only 8 months old and had never stayed somewhere outside our home and was very anxious and unsettled at night. Luann made special accommodations for her, sacrificing her own sleep schedule to try and settle Willow. She also watched out for Leroy (our newly christened "tripod" dog as he was still healing from surgery. I cannot thank her enough and would recommend her to anyone looking for a safe place for their dog to stay.”
“Emily was great, our pups loved her. They seemed well loved and well exercised. She sent pictures of them on their walks and after walk naps. We will definitely be using her again when we visit Johnson City. Highly recommend.”
“Coop had just a fun time! As happy as I was to have him come home, I know he was sad to leave his new friends! It was so cute to see Justin's little girl with his leash walking him!!! Besties for life!! Would recommend Justin and his family to anyone!”
