“Margaret was wonderful with my dog Murphy . He struggled at first to get used to someone new and Margaret stopped in a few times and was very patient and encouraging with him so he would be comfortable with her and they did great together! I highly recommend Margaret ! I am sure Murphy will be happy to see her again the next time we need someone to pet sit !”

“Cammie was very quick to respond and do a meet and greet same day we reached out. She was very attentive, took very good care of the animals and communicated every time she fed and let my dog out to potty. This was my first time using Rover for my animals and I will definitely be using Cammie again.”

“Amoreena was great with our two kitties, including our cat that requires multiple medications a day! She kept us up to date on how they were doing and how much they ate, and she even took the time to give our pet frogs some basic maintenance which was very helpful! Will absolutely book again and will recommend her to anyone looking for some wonderful cat care!”

“Kristi was amazing with our crew !! She knew we had just taken in our Gracie as a rescue pug and gave her all the extra love and snuggles that she needed to feel safe and loved ....she spent lots of extra time in our home to ensure they didn't feel our absence even working remotely at our place which was great for our pugs/cats. She kept us informed of daily events and sent lots of snuggle snaps which made us feel better. Kristi even left us homemade biscotti for our return home. I can say with full confidence that Kristi is motivated by love of animals and helping others...we will most certainly hire her back to our home for all our Rover needs :)”

“Diana was fantastic and we would 100% book her again. Our two dogs took to her quickly at our initial meeting, which put me at great ease. She stayed in our home for 3 nights with our 11 month old puppy and our 14 year old dog. They both have completely different personalities and needs. Diana sent us videos and photos of the dogs, and little updates each day. The house was also well taken care of and looked as if no one had been here. We were able to enjoy our trip without worry and knew the dogs were in good hands. I would definitely recommend her for anyone looking for a sitter.”

About: I volunteered at the animal shelter Wanderes Rest all throughout high school. I have experience with many different kinds of animal behaviors. I work as a vet assistant for my job. Which means I know how to handle and take care of your precious fur babies. I can teach new commands if requested. I have experience with giving oral medication to both cats and dogs. I have experience with taking care of both senior cats and dogs. I will be attentive and detail oriented to their needs and care. I have experience with responding to emergencies in a calm and efficient manner. As well as keeping you updated about your pets wellbeing with LOTS of pictures. I've had stray dogs and cats approach me. Without doing anything to get their attention. Animals seem drawn towards my energy. Which is why I believe I'm the best choice when choosing someone to take care of your fur babies with Love and Attention while you are away 💕 I currently work weekends which means I am available during the week Mon - Fri. To drop by and check in on your precious babies. The only times I'm not available are 1-2:30pm since I walk dogs during those times. I am attentive and detailed oriented. I will follow your instructions word for word. Treating your fur babies like my own fur babies with Love, Attention, and Playful energy.

“We had to go out of town for a week for our wedding. As it can already be a stressful time planning a wedding, Emalyn kept us updated every single day with a picture of our dog and ensured she was doing great, giving us a peaceful mind for our big day. Emalyn did an absolutely amazing job. I have a pitbull rescue that is very hyper and Emalyn made sure she had her full attention and playful times with her. I will definitely book Emalyn again to watch our dog again!”

About: What sets me apart? I’m locked in. I learn your pet’s routine, quirks, and preferences like it’s my job because it is. So let’s connect This is my after-work ritual. I schedule cat visits into my evenings and weekends so I can show up calm, consistent, and fully tuned in. Fewer bookings, better care, no chaotic energy. I care for cats in their own homes to minimize stress and disruption. Each visit includes feeding, fresh water, litter box maintenance, enrichment or play if your cat is interested, and careful monitoring of behavior and appetite. I respect boundaries and stick to your cat’s routine exactly as outlined.

“If I could give 10 stars I would. We have an elderly dog, 17 years old. She can't hear and can only see out of one eye. Nicole was very patient with her, making sure she got in and out of the house in the horrible weather we had around the New Year. Our under 1 year old kitten adored Nicole. We were afraid that our pets wouldn't want us to come home! Nicole kept us up to date, sent pictures which were important to my 10 year old daughter, and kept the house nice and tidy. It was so nice to be able to go away and not worry. She also brought in our mail and had the driveway snowblowed! She went above and beyond. Highly recommend!”

About: I have pet sat for neighbors and family friends for years and for long periods of time. I have taken care of dogs, cats, guinea pigs and fish. I also have experience working with reptiles and snakes as an intern for an environment education center. I took care of a box turtle, corn snake, and painted turtle. I am in college full time but am willing to watch or stop by when I am not currently taking a class. I am a junior at SUNY ESF. And have a relatively light schedule that would allow me to dedicate hours to your pet if needed. As I live in an apartment I do not have any pets nor can I board pets. However, I have my own car so I can travel to take care of pets. If you wish to have overnight care I can stay on a couch or blow up mattress by your pet for safe company.

Kara stayed with my two large dogs for 4 days, and was fantastic. She gave them lots of attention and plenty of exercise, and even got the really anxious guy to eat. Kara kept in contact and sent the best photos. It was a truly stress-free experience for me, and the dogs were very relaxed and happy when I returned. The house looked great as well. Happy dogs and a clean house; no better way to end a trip.

So happy that Savannah took care of my fur babies! I have a dog and a cat, and I enjoyed the daily updates and photos. She was always so pleasant to communicate with and took wonderful care of my home also. My cat, who is not friendly with everybody but immediately came over to meet her when she came in the first time, and I thought that was pretty impressive. I highly recommend her for any fur baby and house sitting gig!
