“Maria was so wonderful with Hubert! She shared many pictures, videos, and fun stories while we were away. Hubert can be a lot to handle at times and Maria not only handled him with grace, but also shared how much she enjoyed him which meant for a relaxing trip for us. We will always choose Maria to watch our dog going forward!”

“We've got a quirky girl that doesn't naturally warm up to everyone, so we weren't sure how it was going to go, but she LOVED Erika and her time staying at her place. Erika sent us lots of daily updates and let us know how our girl was doing. I am so happy we found Erika and have a great option for fun homestay vacation for our dog.”


“Kirsten is amazing, she is super accommodating, actually cared for our needs and wants and was super quick to respond and provides photo updates. Our dog has separation anxiety and it isn't easy finding someone we think would be a good fit. 6 stars if I could, we have already booked again!”


“Alison is so great. We have a puppy who’s still learning to be a well rounded doggie, and Alison and her family were so great with her. We will rebook with her when we can!”


“Daria's the best! Took great care of my fur babies -- she sent lots of pictures and kept me up to date on how they were doing. They got walks and lots of attention! When I picked them up they didn't seem stressed at all. In fact, I think they had such a great time that I don't think they wanted to leave! I highly recommend Daria and will definitely book with her in the future.”


“Just got back from having Erica board our 5 yo pomeranian-shiba inu for 17 days while we were in Indonesia. This was the 4th or 5th time we've left Quinn there for a long period of time, and she also has a good time. But what I wanted to commend Erica on this time is that while in her care, Quinn came down with a seasonal allergy. Erica noticed immediately, took precautionary measures during a period she couldn't reach me in Indonesia, and then took Quinn into the vet and essentially had the entire issue resolved for us prior to coming home. Quinn's feeling fine and her condition on the mend, and it's all thanks to Erica's thoughtfulness and care and love of our babies!”

“Shannon was so great with Bella! She took her on fun excursions and provided great updates and pictures. I will definitely be asking Shannon to take care of Bella again!”

“My pup had a great time at Cyndi’s! She took my last minute request on very short notice and I’m truly grateful. She sent plenty of updates and photos to help ease my anxiety. 10/10 I recommend Cyndi.”

“Maria and Kalyan and their dog Niko were so great with Django. He had love and attention and was so happy with them. And I got frequent updates and peace of mind while I was traveling. I highly recommend sending your dog to this lovely couple. 😊”

“Tyler and Alexis were wonderful with our three-dog pack while we had to be out of our house for a week for some construction. They were so loving and welcoming and our dogs really seemed to enjoy the environment. We would definitely take our dogs back again!”

“Highly recommend Daniel and Joelle’s family to anyone looking for a warm, responsible, and loving home for their pup. From the moment we met them during the meet & greet, I could tell how kind, genuine, and attentive they are. Daniel and his family truly love dogs and treat them like part of their own family. Daniel stays home full time, and there are usually at least two people home at all times, which gave me great peace of mind knowing our dog would never be left alone. One of their adult children has been dog sitting for years and is very experienced, and the other spent lots of time playing with our dog, which made him so happy. It’s wonderful to see how they all work together to make sure every dog gets plenty of attention and care. They kept me updated with photos and messages throughout the stay, took our dog on walks, and made sure he felt comfortable and loved while monitoring all the dogs closely. Our dog absolutely adored them and he gave everyone tons of kisses when we picked him up, which is his special way of saying “I love you.” Their own dog, Meelo, is such a sweet dog. Even though he’s blind, they’re very mindful and careful, introducing dogs slowly so everyone feels safe and at ease. I’m so relieved to have found such a kind and reliable family who will give our dog the same care and attention we do at home. We’ve already booked them again for the upcoming holiday and plan to keep returning in the future!”


“Samantha was a huge lifesaver for us. We had a very last minute request for a reservation and she made it happen. Samantha and her awesome dog, Moo, were both very welcoming to our dog and made her feel right at home. So grateful! 🙏”

“Our Toby loves Michelle and we love her too! I love getting several pictures and videos of Toby while we're gone, so I can tell he is doing really well. That gives me peace of mind while out of town, knowing that our fur baby is in good, loving hands. Toby gets regular walks and lots of snuggles with Michelle, and I love that he doesn't have to be left alone for hours. I truly appreciate Michelle!”

“Daisha and her husband are kind and welcoming! I knew my dogs were safe and comfortable. It was so helpful to have them stay with her. I loved the picture updates. I would highly recommend Daisha to friends and family who need a great home for their dogs to receive excellent care.”

“It was my first time using Rover, and I could tell my dog enjoyed staying with Chuk. She sent daily updates and was responsive to all my questions. I had to drop my dog off early in the morning and pick her up late at night, which can be challenging, but she was incredibly flexible with the timing. Thank you so much!”

“Paul is amazing! We had a great experience with him! He took wonderful care of Augustus and kept us updated while we were away. Augustus was happy and relaxed when we got home—it’s clear he was well looked after. We’d absolutely trust him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”

“This was Jasmine first time caring for our furbabies , and we will certainly have her again. She sent photos and answered any questions I had on how they were doing and sent photos daily.”

“Harley did a great job with our kitties on super-short notice, including giving our cat Max his pill and doing a late night appointment. She was quick to come by, meet the cats, sort things out, and is very positive. And the kitties seem to like her! We'll definitely reach out to her again in the future.”

“We were so grateful to find John on this app. He was very fast to respond and we felt very comfortable with him checking on our cat. He went above and beyond and sent us updates and photos.”

“Hunter was so great! He stayed at our house with our two cats and when we got home they greeted us so sweetly and seemed like they had done really well while we were gone. The house was tidy and cared for. We will book again! Thank you, Hunter!”

“Jeannie was very responsive and a great communicator. Our 3 active young cats loved playing with her — they had so much fun! And Jeannie took excellent care of them.”


“Florence has established a great connection with our shy/quiet boy. Love to know he is in good hands with her calming presence. He looks forward to snuggles with her. Definitely recommend!”


“Ashley did a great job caring for my cats while I was in Asia! She wrote good notes in the app every day, included extra photos and videos, and she really seemed to bond with my cats! They seemed to trust her which I appreciate. I also had a bit of an issue and she ended up fitting me into her schedule sort of last minute, which I really appreciate. She was a great sitter. I would absolutely book her again!”


“I've always had a great experience with Maura. She is punctual and takes care of my cats really well. Both my cats are very comfortable around her (even my introverted and scared cat). I love that she sends a detailed message about the cats along with pictures after every check in.”

“Pinar did a great job! Super helpful and accommodating in such a short notice. Took great care of my cat while I had to spent some time in the hospital. I loved all the lovely pictures and updates.”

“Amy was GREAT! She was quick to respond and was let me know how things were going with my cat while I was away. I felt good knowing that my cat was being well taken care of! Thanks Amy!”


“Alex did drop in visits for our two cats and took great care of them! The younger one can be slow to warm up to new people, so on day one Alex spent time sitting patiently with her. By day two, they were playing! Alex is easy to communicate with, punctual, clearly loves animals, and sends detailed updates with pictures. Our babies were in good hands with them!”

“Anna was SO helpful and went above and beyond with our two cats while we were away. We accidentally locked them in a room and she helped them get out and made sure they had water and food. She sent pictures and videos. Would recommend her :)”

“Katherine took great care of our cats while we were on vacation out of the country. Katherine sent photos and kept us updated, and it was clear the cats were having a great time and felt very comfortable. Katherine also updated us about packages and kept the house in great shape. Most important, the cats were happy and healthy! We will definitely book with Katherine again.”


“Cynda dropped in on my two cats for four days and was great! We were on a camping trip and got limited service but it was great to be able to find a spot and see the pictures she sent! Thank you, Cynda!”

“Maria is fantastic! Marky is hesitant when it comes to interacting with people and dogs when I am not with him but Maria showed him there was nothing to fear! They take beautiful walks together, naps with his friends, and gets to play all day in a pack. He comes home tired and happy when the day is done. Maria really loves all of the dogs like her own”


“My pupper had a great day and enjoyed fun with her new friends. Communications with Kirsten were smooth and clear and made me feel comfortable as this was my first time using Rover.”

“Kristina is an amazing furbaby sitter, and we are so grateful for the care and attention she gives to Enzo every time he stays with her. Enzo is a regular with Kristina, which says a lot about the trust and comfort we feel leaving him in her care. She is dependable, kind, and truly treats him like family. We always appreciate the updates, love, and patience she gives him, and it gives us peace of mind knowing he is safe, happy, and well cared for. Enzo always comes home relaxed and happy, and we highly recommend Kristina to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy pet sitter! 🐾”

“We love Maria, Kalyan and Nikko. They jumped right in to care for our 10,000 year old hound, Carol. She requires day care not just walks so they adjusted their schedule to get her super early in the morning and brought her home however late we wanted so she wasn't home alone too long. They sent updates and even let Carol ride in Nikko's side car when they walk Nikko. Nikko is also so good with Carol, who has zero energy most days. 10/10 recommended”

“Such a wonderful feeling when you finally found a great sitter for your pup! Zoie has never been this happy being away from me! It only goes to show that Daisha and Tam did a fabulous job of caring for and treating my pup like their own. I would definitely use their services again and highly recommended.”

“My pup Lucy had a great stay at Shannon & Bert's today! She made herself right at home and really seemed to enjoy herself. Lucy was well taken care of and it was clear that keeping her safe and comfortable was top priority. Shannon & Bert were wonderful and accommodated me on short notice. Lucy would definitely like to come back one day, thanks so much!”

“Ashley was amazing with Pastel! I’m a helicopter dog mom as I would say and she was very good at communicating, she promptly responded all my questions and concerns! She is great and I highly recommend her. I can wait to use her services again! Thank you so much Ashley!”


“Jacklyn was great! Sent lots of (very cute!) pictures, walked McCoy, and made sure he got along with her own dog. McCoy was always happy to see her (and her dog) when we dropped him off. Jacklyn was also very responsive to us (e.g. when we had to modify our arrival/pick up time) which made our lives very easy.”

“Milo had a great time at Eric’s place. Eric took him at that last minute and was very flexible with his pickup. His yard was fantastic and he kept us updated with pics. Highly recommended.”

About: Most people call me Josh. Dogs have always been my favorite animal and I've lived with them for most of my life. I am recently dog-free and I miss having dog energy in my house. I've raised two dogs through basic obedience to adulthood, one with a class, and one largely on my own. I am personally a big believer in the methods described in The Art of Raising a Puppy, because I have had excellent results with their techniques, but will of course prioritize whatever approach is preferred by owners. I am happy to help reinforce any basic obedience your dog may be working on, as well as senior dogs. I am comfortable with a wide range of dog breeds, sizes, and temperaments. Highly reactive dogs are not my favorite, but "highly reactive" can be subjective, so I will consider such dogs on a case by case basis. I am happy to work with dogs of varying activity levels, but extremely high-activity dogs will also be considered on a case-by-case basis. I am currently working from home and am available for dropoff in-home daycare most weekdays and dog boarding (including weekends). My schedule for my dog was three walks a day (morning, afternoon/dinnertime, bedtime) so that is what I'm used to, but I am happy to work with clients to discuss their routine and work with them to agree on an experience that fits their and their dog's needs. I currently have no other animals in my home, so your dog will get my full attention as needed. I don't have a fenced yard, but I am in a residential neighborhood with a good-sized park a block away. I am reasonably close to Seward Park and the Genesee dog park as well.
“This was my 1st time with Daniel & Joelle, who were very accommodating. My pup did a day long to get used to them & see if she'd be a good fit for a week upcoming boarding. Everything went well. Meelo is a very sweet old guy, which is great for my pup who's been bullied & is shy at first. Though it was her 1st day & so somewhat anxiety provoking to be left, she still seemed relaxed when I picked her up & asked everyone for scratches & pets during the day. It also seemed she took a liking to their daughter Esther:) She'll try a week there a few weeks from now.”


About: I have volunteered with multiple animal shelters (including fostering), a big cat sanctuary, and has worked at a veterinary clinic and pet boarding facility. I will be your pet's main caregiver, and have also owned dogs, cats, fish, hamsters, ferrets, frogs, and turtles throughout my life. My partner Marlon loves to walk/run with dogs and has had dogs, and is a chicken lover as well! I am very prepared to handle many situations and pet personalities. I recently cared for our senior dog (18-years-old!) with medical needs, and fostered puppies, so I am very understanding of dog needs. I understand how to make dogs feel safe and part of our family, and will send daily pictures to you so you know they're in good hands. **Have pets that aren't dogs?** I also own a cat, chickens, two turtles, and frogs. I volunteer at a cat rescue and have volunteered at a big cat sanctuary, have had hamsters, ferrets, an iguana, axolotls, fish.... I can handle most animals, just ask! **Notes** - Rates are per 24 hours. There will be an additional late fee of $5.00 for every hour past the agreed time for pick-up, unless you clearly communicate with us about your timeline. - Housesitting includes an overnight stay and care as needed (feeding, walks, and potty breaks) throughout the day. I may need to care for other clients or my own pets, or go into work. If you require constant care (24hrs per day, animal cannot be left alone), this needs to be arranged beforehand and the price will be higher than my regular housesitting rate. I work from home so time for pet care is flexible, I usually have plenty of time for walks or hikes with dogs that are visiting. I have a fenced yard and have the ability to make zones within my home if it's necessary. I try to stick to the typical schedule the animals are used to, to the best of my ability and schedule.
“I couldn’t be happier with the care Quinten provided for my dog Penny. From the moment we met, it was clear they had a genuine love for animals. They kept me updated with daily photos and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. My pet was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for when I returned. I highly recommend Quinten to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate sitter!”

“Always an exceptional experience, and we never have to worry. I wholeheartedly recommend Michelle, Keith, and Lola — such a wonderful family. They’re personable, caring, and genuinely the best.”

“Gordy stayed with Elle and Scott for the day and had a blast! I knew our pup was in good hands and having fun because they kept us updated with pictures and texts on how she’s doing. Gordy returned home all tuckered out after playing with Elle, Scott, and their two dogs. We already booked additional visits with them!”

“Banjo’s first walk with Jeannie was a smashing success! Her updates gave us the piece of mind that he was in the best of hands during his walk. Looking forward to booking with Jeannie again.”

“Laura did an amazing job with our senior chi mix. She was so gentle and attentive to her needs while keeping us updated while we are away. We will be booking her again in the future!”

“Carriane was amazing to my babies. Had to take off for over 2 weeks and while away I received updates with pictures on the babies and gives them extra TLC on the end of each visits. Carriane was highly reliable and would definitely keep her for my future needs for my babies. Thank you so much Carriane, appreciate you!”

“Larcy walked our senior pup for us and did a great job. Was very communicative and sent us update photos as well. Would highly recommend and will definitely book again in the future.”

“Francesca was so so great with our pup who definitely takes a minute to warm up. We’re doing a bunch of walks before she stays with her in a few months and are so glad we found her!! Highly recommend and has an energy that our pup loved immediately.”

“Madison is the best!! Moose really likes her I can tell from all the picture updates! Love how great she is at communicating and meeting all of moose’s puppy needs! We will continue to book with her, thanks Madison!! 🐾”

“Adam is a wonderful substitute for our regular Walker. We had a little snafu with the app. He was great communicating with me and we figured out a way to make it all work. I will definitely book him again when needed.”

“Deanna was wonderful! She showed up on time and was incredibly patient with my 14-year-old Australian Shepherd. It’s clear she truly loves animals and has a calm, caring presence. I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet sitter.”

“Lucas is super nice and professional, and extremely personable. He took the time to great and meet us before the first booking, my corgi Leo and I both love him!”


“Isa did a great job with our dog, Frida. She’s reliable and communicative, and it’s clear from the pictures that all of our animals (dog and 3 cats) wanted to be around her! We recommend her for your dog and cat care needs, and we’ll definitely be rebooking her again.”

“Just got back from having Erica board our 5 yo pomeranian-shiba inu for 17 days while we were in Indonesia. This was the 4th or 5th time we've left Quinn there for a long period of time, and she also has a good time. But what I wanted to commend Erica on this time is that while in her care, Quinn came down with a seasonal allergy. Erica noticed immediately, took precautionary measures during a period she couldn't reach me in Indonesia, and then took Quinn into the vet and essentially had the entire issue resolved for us prior to coming home.

“I’m so glad to have left Teddy at Kathy’s care. From the initial meeting, I knew Teddy would be in good hands. Kathy is very thorough. She asked questions, made sure Teddy would be comfortable, and she really put my mind at ease while I was away. The updates were comforting and Teddy came home tired and happy. I will definitely book again and I highly recommend Kathy to anyone who’s looking to leave your fur baby in great hands.”
