“Lacey was awesome with my two cats. They can be slow to warm up to people, but they loved her immediately! She sent me lots of pictures while I was away and made sure that I knew that my cats were well taken care of and loved.”


About: Dogs are not just pets to me, they are part of the family where I come from. I have cared for pets all my life since growing up with the aspirations and dreams of becoming a vet. I worked as a vet assistant all throughout high school and some college, and even though life happened and I didn't get to finish school the way I planned, my love for animals has never gone astray. I have had dogs my entire life, and always snuggled and played with them and brought them everywhere with me because they were my family. I even love helping dogs with special needs. I played and ran with my girl in her wheelchair daily and would do the same for yours!

“Maritza was great with my cat, Riley. She took time to meet Riley and get an idea of her daily routine. She provided daily updates with tons of photos and videos and a description of how Riley was during each visit. Maritza was very respectful throughout the process and provided me with a sense of ease knowing my cat was in good hands while I was away. I definitely recommend her to anyone looking for pet sitting services! Thank you!”


About: From overnight stays and walks to playtime and cuddles, family and friends have entrusted me with the care of their fur baby. Being able to work with cats and dogs on a daily basis as a veterinary assistant continues to help me accumulate various skills to work with animals of all temperaments and ages! I’m currently working part time so I’d have flexible time to spend with your precious pups whether during the week or during the weekend ! Pups are off if their routine is off so if you have a specific schedule or way of doing things I can assure you I will stick to the game plan.


“Jenna was amazing! Our usual sitter had to cancel last minute after we had already left. Jenna accommodated a VERY last minute request and saved the day so we didn’t have to leave our event! She was reliable, caring, and gave us total peace of mind. Highly recommend her! Thank you Jenna!!”



“I almost don't want to leave a review saying how great Erika is so I can always have her available for my needs to watch my dog Willow. This was the first time we used the Rover app and Erika and to say I was not disappointed is an understatement, she is exactly what we have been looking for in a care giver for our dog Willow when we are out if town. I trust her completely and know my pup is in good hands and getting the best care. She treats your dog like they are hers and really gets how much a pet is cherished by their owners and goes out of her way to treat them well as a substitute while you are away. She is reliable and very communicative with how your pet is doing and gives you peace of mind while away and lets you enjoy your vacation knowing there is no stress or worry about your pet and it's care.”

Angelique P.
“I’ve known Angelique for just over 14 years. When it comes to animals she is one of the most caring and thoughtful people. I think she would do more for pets and animals in general than friends. For example when she had a dog and her cat they were both special minutes she did everything she possibly could have a day we were both gone. From a handicap dog she put her in a wheelchair to make sure she could still walk in the yard. And a diabetic cat she made sure she had her insulin every day twice a day. I think she would be an outstanding dog caregiver.”

Lucien R.
“My name is Shannon Curry. I am a Licensed Veterinary Technician, and I have known Lucien for almost half of my life. As long as I have known him, Lucien has been a huge animal lover. He has many different species of animals at his home that he cares for, each of them he has a strong and unique bond with. Species ranging from cats, dogs, and chickens, to guinea pigs, leopard geckos, and bearded dragons. Some, he even brought with him to college. For two of my four years at college, Lucien was my roommate. I saw how much he cared for the animals that he brought up with him, and how he strived to keep their enclosures safe, comfortable, and as authentic to real life as he could. As an animal lover myself, and someone who did not know as much at that time about some of the more exotic species, he was also someone I learned a lot from in regards to the specific care of those exotic species that I had not yet learned about in my professional studies. Even before college, the two of us were in BOCES (C-Tech) together, where we learned how to care for companion animals. He thrives in environments involving animals, it is very much a passion of his. There is no one that I would trust more to care for my animals in my stead than Lucien. That is why I believe that he will be an exceptional pet sitter.”


Kristen D.
“Kristen is one of the best caregivers you could ask for. Your fur babies could not be in better hands with her! She’s got a patient, kind heart for all animals and will take care of your pet like her own family member!”
