4. Bryan C.
About: I've loved caring for pets for family and friends over the years. Moved away from home so looking to keep that same experience around here. I'm generally off on Sundays and Mondays for work, and live close enough for potty breaks and I make my own schedule if enough notice is given. I have a fenced in yard which has been home to dogs the size of a Great Pyrenees down to a Yorkshire Terrier before. The home is large enough for multiple pets to have their space.
5. Marinna M.
About: I grew up with animals and spent many years volunteering at my local shelter dog walking. I love long walks so I would gladly take your pup out rain or shine! I have plenty of time to play with your cat/dog and take them for long walks any day of the week! *Current schedule is limited on Mondays and Thursdays* I live within a mile from a dog park that has separate spaces for large and small breeds. If your dog need space from other dogs I can easily take them on long walks for exercise!

8. Stephanie W.
About: Hi my name is Steph and I love animals of all kinds! I currently have 4 cats of my own. I have plenty of experience with dogs, growing up with large breeds and pet sitting since I was 12 years old! I am a part time nursing student with open availability. I am patient, caring and would love to take care of your pets when they need it most! I work part time Mon-Fri, 4pm - 9pm. I am a part time nursing student with only 1 class day a week. So I am available for many hours during the day! In my home my 4 cats get nothing but love from my family and I. If you trust me to care for your pets I will treat them like nothing other than my own! 💗

“Adalia is the best sitter anyone could ask for. I have such a peace of mind knowing my dog is being watch by the best! I’ve always been super anxious leaving my girls with someone but with adalia I have no worries what so ever! Even though my dogs are super high maintenance adalia caters right to them and let me tell you it is hard to find someone who is willing to help give medicine , entertain my high energy Aussie, and just love on them. Thank you for everything adalia! ❤️”
14. Jessica G.
About: Being a dog parent, I know how stressful it can be leaving your pet at home. My goal is to make sure your pets are happy and healthy, even if it means doing a little extra. I am committed to going beyond expectations and making sure your pet is happy while you are away. I am currently a teacher who enjoys customer service. I love doing Rover because I can still do my regular job and end my day by taking care of your pets! I promise you, if I can wrangle 13 year olds into learning I’ll have the patience and compassion to keep your fur baby happy while you are away. I treat every animal as if they were my own. I make sure all routines are kept and will do extra so that they are comfortable while you are away.
15. Kimberly B.
“Kimberly was very friendly and competent. She and Harley got along great! I'd use her again any day!”
16. Jezel R.
“Jezel is the most thoughtful and caring petsitter. I feel so good knowing she is taking care of Barney when we are away. She is also wonderful with taking care of our home - bringing in mail, watering plants and feeding the outside birds for us. I highly recommend her!”
17. Michayla G.
“Michayla is exceptional. She goes above and beyond in every situation with my pet. I’ve had her help with my dog on numerous occasions, from nail clipping to walking to house sitting. He’s a very anxious dog with separation anxiety and she does a great job soothing him and keeping him calm. I’d recommend her anytime to anyone. She’s capable of handling any type of animal and situation that may arise. Me and my puppy are both anxiously waiting for the next walk!”

About: A semi recent transplant from NYC/NJ area to upstate NY - Residing in Elmira for the past 3+ years. I have a lifetime of experience with pets in and have walked/cared for many others pets on a part time basis for many years - even while in the corporate world myself. I enjoy all breeds of dogs from puppies to seniors and even those with basic medical needs. I live an active/athletic life and love going for long walks, hikes, trails with my dogs/your dogs but also being a parent of two strong willed small dogs (chihuahua & mini pincher) myself - I know how a short brisk walk to get in all the sights & smells is just as enriching. Play time or time spent providing companionship is essential. I'm here to calm your nerves and focus on what is important for you & your fur family member while you are at work or away for a long weekend or vacation. I work primarily from home, however my flexible schedule ensures I have time and space to attend to your special furry family member. So wether it's a daily walk or sitting while you are away at work, an extended business trip or night away - your pet will also have a change in scenery & an enriching experience. Safety First and Fun 2nd. For those of you interested in my boarding services, we live on 7 secluded acres here in Elmira and take full advantage of that along with the beautiful rolling hills, trails and roads to take your dogs out for walks & stimulate their senses. And for those that have smaller dogs, and may prefer or require a modified outdoors experience I have a small fenced in dog run area that allows them to 'do their business'. I also have a large deck for the sun worshipers. I have a ring alarm on my front door. I bring all dogs in & out of the home via my garage to ensure all are properly leashed before going out for walks. I can crate dogs overnight if that is the preference otherwise the dogs will sleep overnight in my home office with pet cushions but the room would be gated off from the rest of the house during overnight hours. I feed on schedule & medicate upon schedules provided to me by the owner
19. Mallory K.
About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of animals my whole life. I’ve worked at pet stores and have been pet sitting for many years. I will provide any care your pet needs including administering medicine. I have a very random schedule, between college and work, but 9/10 times it works out. Just let me know and I’ll make it work! I know every home has their own way of doing things and I will do my best to keep this going while you are away.
