“Katrina is THE BEST! My Coco was taken care of so well! I received videos and pics everyday from her while I was on vacation and that made me very happy and comforted. Katrina deserves five stars! Thank you for all of your hard work. Definitely will recommend Katrina to anyone who wants their fur baby pampered and loved.”
“Samantha and Zachary are fantastic sitters! My dog Stella had a great time and made two new friends in Krypto and Bailey. Provided daily photos and videos of Stella during her stay and they were always quick to respond to all my messages. Would highly recommend!”
“Shivambika was very responsive when our dog was with her for three days. We received updates daily and our dog was very well taken care of. Will definitely use her again for future trips!”
About: I have had a passion to take care of animals since I was in elementary school. My dream job is to become a professional pet groomer and pet care provider. Helping animals is my passion and always will be. I have always had family pets such as cats and dogs that I would take care of. Over 8 years of providing pet services, I have built special bonds with pets and their owners. I am very caring, empathetic, understanding, and patient. Anything you and your pet need, I will be sure to provide as much as I can and your pets will be happy and safe in my care. I have part time availability to provide pet sitting, daily check ins, and walk your dogs. I have another job where I bathe dogs for a few hours during the day. I will stay as long as you need me to be to make sure your pets never feel alone while you are away. I will make sure they are fed, watered, and get plenty of exercise. You won't have to worry about coming back to a messy home because I will clean up any mess that is made.
“Lindsay is the absolute best with our pups! She has been very patient with our rescue Great Pyr who has had separation issues and cancer. Our other little one is easy and hyper. She gives them love as if they were her own, thank you Lindsay!!”
“Heidi did an amazing job watching my young and crazy dog! My dog is very high energy, she is jumpy and playful and can be very needy. Heidi did a perfect job! Documented the entire stay and communicated throughout! We will be using her services again.”
“Sogol was wonderful and attentive to my dog Chance. I appreciated the frequent updates that she provided. I could tell that Chance was well taken care of while I was away. I will definitely be booking with Sogol again and I would highly recommend her! 😊”
“We were a little nervous using a sitter we didn’t know for the first time, but Kadi put us completely at ease. From the very beginning, she was warm, attentive, and clearly has a genuine love for dogs. Both of our pups instantly took to her, and throughout our time away, she sent regular updates, pictures, and lots of sweet moments that showed just how happy and comfortable they were. It truly felt like they were on their own little vacation! When we picked them up, they were giving her kisses goodbye, which says everything. We couldn’t be happier with the care and attention Kadi gave our dogs, and we will absolutely be booking with her again. Highly recommend!”
“Kristen was great! She was able to be extremely flexible with our travel plans and allow for an early drop off and late pick up which made it very easy for us. Her timely and relaxed communication made us more comfortable with leaving Maui in her care for the week while we traveled out of the country. She gave us just the right amount of updates and pictures to let us know Maui was having a great time in her care! She was able to accommodate all of his needs and we couldn’t recommend her services enough! When we picked up Maui we could tell he had a great time and made a new friend! Thanks again Kristen!”
“10/10 stars!! I would absolutely try boarding/cat sitting with Hali in the future. I was considerably nervous as it was the first time my cat would ever spend a night away from me. Hali made sure to keep me updated with plenty of pictures and videos of Wednesday during her stay! My cat is an anxious girl, so I appreciated the effort and patience Hali had with her. Hali was also very considerate about the fact that my cat gets anxious around dogs, and thankfully was able to provide Wednesday with a space of her own! Overall, I’m very happy with the quality of care Wednesday received and would definitely recommend booking with Hali.”
“Ora is a good sitter. She sent frequent pictures of Loki and updates about him everyday. I will definitely consider her again for next time if she is available. Thank you Ora!”
“They were great!! They were flexible about drop off and pickup, sent great updates and pictures, and are just really nice people. Their dog was also a fun bundle of energy who just wants to play!!!”
“Scraps loves going to Abby's house. He has been there multiple times now, and he always has such a great time. Abby takes great care of Scraps and he loves that he gets to play with her dog Maggie.”
“Very happy repeat customer! When we arrived at her place our dog’s tail started wagging. He was so happy to see her and her family and is very comfortable with them. Lots of videos, love, and attention.”
“Holly had a wonderful experience spending the week with Vinata and her family. We loved getting our daily pictures and updates and it made it easier being away from our puppy. I would absolutely use her again! Thank you!”
“Karina was FANTASTIC! You can tell she really loves what she does. Luci absolutely loved being there and running in the huge backyard and playing with the other dogs and kiddo's. Will definitely be making Karina our primary dog sitter when possible.”
“Thank Eunju, the 📸 and the consistency to care for my fur babies is very comforting. Eunju will greet you and help out immediately upon arrival. My dogs enjoyed their stay once again.❤️”
Utica pet parents share their Rover experiences
Laura took such great care of our dog, Telly, while we were on vacation. She sent lots of updates with photos and Telly always looked comfortable and happy like she was on her own vacation. Laura carefully read our instructions for care and feeding at drop-off and made sure she understood Telly’s needs before we left. She even cooked Telly more chicken to top her dog food with once the chicken we provided ran out. You can tell Laura truly loves dogs and I had no worries about leaving our pup with her for the week. I would definitely hire Laura again and highly recommend her to anyone else looking for a dog sitter!
Kathryn did an amazing job watching my dog! She was a great communicator throughout the entire process and was very attentive to the needs of my pet. I will definitely be going with her for dog sitting in the future and would strongly recommend her to anyone needing a sitter.
I am so glad that I found Brigid and her family to watch my dog while I was gone. This was the first time I’d used rover and I was a little nervous, but once I met Brigid and her family I was instantly put at ease with leaving my dog with them for a week. Brigid kept me updated throughout the week on how my dog was doing and I could tell he was having a great time. Brigid took care of my dog as one of my own, and to have the peace of mind that he was being taken good care of made the world of difference. I couldn’t recommend them more.
Lonnie and his family took great care of our Irish Doodle Brooklyn. She gets very anxious being away from us, but we could tell she was comfortable and happy in their care. We appreciated the daily pictures of her while we were gone! They communicated with us regularly which was also helpful in feeling at ease. We will continue to use their services! So glad we found them!
