“Sam was the best! Very accommodating and you know that she cares about animals. Treated my dog Jaxie like her own and I could tell she was loved and had a great time away from home. First time using this service and my expectations were blown away, will definitely rebook with Sam in the future! Would give more than 5 stars if possible.”
“Kim was absolutely fantastic with my dog, Daisy. I was worry-free on my trip as I received daily photos of Daisy playing, snoozing, and hanging out with Kim. Kim treated Daisy as her own and I will highly recommend her to anyone looking for a safe and comfortable home for their dog to stay while their away.”

“Our dog absolutely loved staying here and she took such good care of her. Such a great place for dogs to run and get exercise outside. You can tell Dixie loves dogs. We highly recommend her.”


“My Whippet "Maverick" had an awesome time playing with Alara's 3 dogs and Taylor the springer spaniel with his stay at Alara's home and Maverick can't wait to do it again...Dan”


“Did another weekend of boarding for my dog Roscoe and I couldn't be more happy with the level of service and professionalism. I highly reccomend Ellen for any of your pets needs. Will continue to use her services with the confidence of knowing my pet is safe and properly cared for.”

“We are so glad we found Pamela because she provided a wonderful home-away-from-home for our pooch. We received several photo updates each day, which was very reassuring; we could tell he was well cared for and happy. He came home more relaxed and not exhausted like he is when he goes to a kennel. We'll definitely bring him back any time we go out of town! Great experience!”

“Kate was an absolutely amazing caregiver for my Westie! She was quick to respond to communication and I felt completely at ease at drop off. The large, fenced-in yard is such a great space and the home and areas where the pets are kept is clean and tidy. Pictures were sent throughout his stay and I’ve already booked her again! So happy to have found Kate!”

“It's hard to put into words how amazing Kathy and Tim are. I think my wife said it best when she said they weren't watching our dog. They were CARING for our dog. Please do yourself a favor and stop scrolling now and book a reservation with this amazing couple. I really do believe this was the whole reason why Rover was created. To be able to leave your loved one in the care of someone who will love them just as much. We were able to enjoy our time away and receive continuous communication about our dogs stay with Kathy and Tim.”

About: Like many others, I am a dog lover and was raised taking care of family dogs. Unlike others, that passion led to training and classes, competing in dog sports, and now, competing in dog shows. I have experience with many breeds of all sizes, senior pet care, reactive dog care and training. I would love to help you with your pet care needs! I work from home, so my schedule is very flexible and I can accommodate most dogs’ needs. I currently have open availability for boarding, daycare, walks, and drop in visits. Dogs are treated like one of my own! I take your dog out for leashed potty breaks several times a day, according to their needs. While I am working, your dog can settle on the couch or one of the many dog beds, or relax and play with my dogs (a Golden Retriever and a Foxhound). If your dog likes the crate, I have an extra for them. When I run errands, your dog will be crated or gated in a separate room from my dogs for safety. I live on 4 acres next and next to a cemetery, so I can take your dog for relaxing walks in a peaceful environment.
About: During college I began looking after others fur babies as a side job. I love all animals; dogs, cats & most reptiles. I’ve been looking after others pets for over 5 years now! I currently have a dog with separation anxiety, and I’m looking to make this full time! I work as a property manager, but I want to stray away from it. I believe starting this, is a great step in the right direction of being happy and fulfilled with my work :) I currently live in the country with a SEVEN acres of land ready to play on! While it is not fenced in, it is a tucked away property away from the road!
“Excellent stay! Our pup got love and attention and someone was always home. The house is comfortable and welcoming. The fenced-in yard is a must! Kathleen had no problems with our specific dietary needs and Sammie came home happy and not stressed at all. Will use again!”

“I have had a lot of experience with various rovers and I have to say Paige was one of the best rovers I’ve ever had. I felt secure immediately within dropping my pup off, Paige was extremely communicative and she provided many updates. Response time was quick and I had peace of mind. She was well loved, well exercised and treated with the utmost care. I will definitely be bringing my pup back to Paige in the future. Also my pup loveeeed her sweet dog! Highly highly recommend!!”

“I recently adopted a bunny and we were going away on vacation for a few days… we needed someone who was able to watch my her while we were gone. We had a very nice meet and greet with Julia and she was very flexible with where my rabbit would stay, as well as how much space she could roam around in. She offered a whole room, that would be gated at the door, for my bunny. Since the meet and greet went so well, we booked her for the days we would be traveling. She made sure there was a carpet for my bun’s feet so she wouldn’t be on the hardwood floor. She put baby plugs in the outlets so my bunny couldn’t get to them. I felt very comfortable leaving my bunny with Julia and her family, they were all very kind. They even put a camera in the room so when they weren’t with my bunny, they could always keep an eye on her. My bunny seemed very comfortable and happy with the situation and adjusted very well because of Julia’s hospitality. Julia offered everything she could to make sure my bunny had an amazing stay. We will definitely be booking Julia again!!”

“Heather was super sweet, understanding and very responsive! She understood my circumstances for needing my kitty Poptart watched and had no complaints with how last minute my request was. When there was an interference with the pickup time, she was completely understanding and didn’t charge extra. I even told her about Poptart’s disliking of other cats, and she kept her in a room separate from her own and even offered to introduce my cat to hers to get her more accustomed to being around other cats in the future. Overall, she was a wonderful sitter and I’ll definitely consider her again in the future!”

About: Our family loves animals. It’s evident when you drive up to our house and see the goats, rabbits, chickens, ducks, cats and dogs. We have lots of experience with lots of animals, at all stages of life and with administering medications. Now that the kids are all in school. I have extra time to spend with my 4 legged babies and yours. We enjoy hiking, long and/or short walks around Canandaigua. I am a responsible and respectful professional. I will take care of your pet and home as if it were my own. I want to earn your trust and loyalty.
“Samantha was amazing! She was able to help me out last minute and was super communicative! She is very knowledgeable and passionate about the pets she cares for. Highly recommended!”

“I needed a place to take my dogs during the day while having some home remodeling done. Dianna and Matthew took such good care of the dogs and kept me posted throughout the day of how they were doing. Would HIGHLY recommend them!!!”
