1. Savana R.


“Savana has been a godsend for my puppies! I work long hours and didn’t want to put my pets in a kennel. Since our first meet and greet, Savana has been professional, wonderful with my four-legged friends And they look forward to seeing her on every visit.”




2. Sarah S.


“Sarah was a wonderful sitter for our dogs. They were comfortable with her from the start. She stayed in our home and arrived at 4:00 am (!!) in-time for us to leave for our flight. She stayed in touch the whole time we were away letting us know how our boys were doing. One of our dogs was a new adopted member of the family and when we came back, he was clearly not stressed that we'd been gone. Both dogs were really well taken-care-of. Thank you, Sarah! We'll have you back again!”


3. Grayson S.

“I can't recommend Grayson enough. She was highly attentive and sent lots of pictures and updates. You can tell she really loves animals. I felt at ease leaving my boys with her for a few days and look forward to using her services again. She came by to meet them before staying here, and I just really appreciated her overall thoroughness!”


4. Anastasia A.

“I HIGHLY recommend Anastasia to be your fur-child sitter! I will definitely rebook her in the future! I had to go out of the country and had no care for my beloved dog and cats. Frantic, my colleague recommended Rover. I was skeptical because I never used a pet sitter before. But I took the chance and was pleased. Anastasia was very prompt, kind and professional. She listened to what the needs of my pets were and catered to their individual personalities. She sent me frequent pictures and videos of the day and really tended to them. Anastasia was so involved, playful and loving with my them that once I returned, I can tell her presence was missed. She was playful, caring, attentive and energetic with my fur-children. Without hesitation, I HIGHLY recommend Anastasia to take care of your fur-child and I will definitely rebook her in the future!”

“Maddie is one of the most reliable people I know! She is extremely responsible, patient and kind. She goes above and beyond for the pet's she takes care of. She has a knack for softening even the most difficult pups--her warmth and gentle manner make any pet feel welcome and taken care of. These qualities make her the perfect candidate to care for your pet :)”

10. Mikayla R.
“I had an elderly 75lb St Bernard mix Milo who had several health issues that I would have Mikayla take care of while I was away. She did a great job keeping him happy and healthy taking him for walks every day, giving medication, and would always give him the love and attention he needed.”

About: I have a passion for animals and have accumulated several years of personal pet care experience with dogs, cats, small animals, and reptiles! In addition to my personal experience, I have over 3 years of professional dog care experience working with dogs of all breeds, including puppies, seniors, and those with special needs. I understand the unique care requirements each pet has, and I strive to provide them with the attention, love, and comfort they deserve. I’m committed to ensuring your pets are happy, healthy, and well cared for! I currently work part time, which gives me plenty of time to spend playing with your pups. Feel free to reach out for any inquiries! When caring for pets in my client's home, I prioritize their safety, comfort, and well-being! I stick to routines that provide a sense of consistency and security for the pets, whether it’s feeding, walks, or playtime. Building trust is also essential, so I take the time to get to know each pet!

“Kimberly was wonderful with our two pups Teddi and Bear! She was so knowledgeable with our 9 week old puppy. She updated us very frequently and was very professional. Thank you so much!”


15. Michael C.
About: Hey there, dog lovers! I’m Michael, your dog’s new best friend and part-time student in liberal arts (dental hygiene) at SUNY Orange. I’m experienced with all ages, from wobbly puppies to wise seniors, and I treat every pup like part of the family. Let’s connect! I am currently a part time student and freelancer that can be flexible with scheduling. My availability varies throughout the week and value early notices. I care for pets by trying to keep a clean environment at all times. Cleanliness is very important to me as I find it very important for general health.


16. randi lynn & manuela e.
About: i’ve grown up with dogs my whole life, i have my senior baby who is a 13 year old 80lb american bulldog sweetpie, and a year ago i adopted a border collie/ pitty mix who has grown into a 40lb ball of energy. so i have a good understanding of the different types of dogs and how their breed affects their personalities. me and my girlfriend will be doing this together in case of emergencies and to help. she has the same experience i do & she’s 20. we have to keep my puppy entertained for nearly all hours of the day. she goes to the dog park in the mornings for 2+ hours and we take her on hikes. she loves all dogs and is very well trained in all aspects. she loves playdates! i’m working part-time so we will have to schedule times for potty breaks/visits & for walks. i work 5 days a week all different times. i will treat your puppy like i treat my own. i believe in positive reinforcement with bad behaviors & i can incorporate training into the experience. in my experience i find e-collars & prong collars very rewarding. we can go over the tools that work best for you & ur dog as well as treats you will pre-approve. i only believe in the best for you & ur dogs!!


17. Allison C.

“Alison was warm and reassuring and made everything so easy for us. Our anxious dog did really well with her and her family.”


18. Tara L.
“Tara has raised the most precious, well-behaved dog I have ever been around in my life. Her attention to detail for her own dog's needs and love for dogs in general is incomparable and anyone would be lucky enough to have her help. If she has long days she'll always make a point to give her dog enough exercise even if it includes not giving herself enough time to make dinner. Being an avid hiker as well always makes her pup happy as she has a lot of insight and access to many hiking trails and lakes. Hiring her to watch your dog will probably make her just as happy to spend time with your dog as it will make you happy in the level of care she will provide.”


19. Sarah S.

“Sarah was amazing. She cared for our Murphy like he was her own. He was so happy when we got home!”


20. Brenda & Francis W.

“I highly recommend Brenda & Francis! Our dogs took to them right away! That says a lot because one of our dogs can be a bit temperamental when you first meet him, however, he was seemingly happy and comfortable! What a relief! Thank you Brenda & Francis!”
