House Sitting in Big Flats

About: I did the animal science program at boces for 2 years where I got to get hands on experience with all kinds of animals such as taking care of dogs. Due to taking the animal science program I am certified as a veterinary assistant. Right now I’m also going to school for my bachelors degree in canine training and management. I also have 2 cats of my own that I’ve had and taken care of since I was 11. Heads up I have 2 cats at home still so for boarding requests I cannot accept cat reactive dogs. It fits into my schedule for the summer because of college break because I won’t have school at all and I’ll be able to give a most of my time to your pets although I do have work Monday Wednesday and Thursday. Although since Monday Wednesday and Thursday I have work from 8 to 11:30 so if doing a boarding I wouldn’t be back home until 4:30 because of transportation depending so dogs have to be okay being home alone for a little bit. If I do house sitting I cannot get to a house after 7am and before 4pm due to transportation because I cannot drive due to medical reasons and only have transportation before 7am and after 4pm. Be up front and open. Follow and respect the animals and if you go to the home respect and follow the rules. I don’t have a fenced in yard.

About: Unlike some other sitters, I have owned dogs for all of my life, and I’ve likely gone above and beyond in the care of my pets and their needs. I had my last dog from when I was in 6th grade all the way until I was a Junior in college. Through this time, I watched him develop from a puppy to a senior dog with senior needs, including strenuous lifting and even diaper changes. I am willing to go to the same lengths when caring for your beloved pets! Throughout my life, I’ve also helped my friends care for their dogs and pets. I understand the bond between an owner and their pets, and the sacred nature of letting someone else take care of them, even for a short period of time. I am currently pursuing an online Master's Degree through SUNY Oswego, and I am relatively free for the time being. I could fit your care needs into any of my days. With experience in caring for pups and cats, I can pretty much do anything you would need me to do in your home, from feeding, to walking, to crating, to keeping them excited and entertained.

About: Responsible and caring. I want to be sure all their needs are met so they are comfortable and safe. Pets deserve to be treated well. I have spare time to help a family out with their pets. I am truly committed to the time slots I say I am available. I have an indoor cat, but he loves to go outside, so I put a collar and a leash on him and take him out daily.

“Kelli was great the whole step of the way! Communication was on point. She watched our 4 dogs in our house for 6 days. Extenuating circumstances during our 5 day trip included a snowstorm and being stuck at an airport on the last day, hence having to extend Kelli’s stay to another day. She was very flexible and of course said she would help with the dogs another day. A++ for going above and beyond, especially during the snowstorm when we needed her help to communicate with the snow removal guys. Definitely recommend and will be happy to use her to watch our pups again in the future!”

“Angela was AMAZING with all my Fur babies , 2 dogs and my cat , all adore her!! It was a challenging job as our 7 year old dog, Rex has diabetes and pancreatitis and on a strict schedule for feedings, glucose checks and insulin shots, Our first time leaving him since he was diagnosed and Thanks to her we felt completely comfortable, constant updates and pics allowed us to have a stress free trip”

“*First time user experience* Typically my mother will watch over my pets when I go out of town. Due to her age and the size/energy of my dogs, I decided to book a dog sitter. Daunting is an understatement. I was worried about relinquishing control to someone I didn’t know and inviting them into my home to care for my pets that mean so much to me. As a first time user, there were many unknowns regarding the process and inviting someone to stay in our home. No worries though. Jessica to the rescue! She was able to guide and provide information during the booking process. She then came to meet our pets and took time asking many great questions that pertained to our furries. I was a little hesitant to using Rover and having someone new around our guys. Would they understand some of their quirks? Would they provide the same loving experience that they are used to? I knew there would be many new facets to this experience. If you were ever hesitant on using this service or Jessica to take care of your pets, use this review to reassure you that it is a great way to have peace of mind knowing that your guys will be cared for, understood, and comfortable - even and added bonus, Jessica will truly get to the heart of the job. She went over and beyond for my guys. She made sure they were taken care of, had snacks, were de-shedded, nurtured, and I came home to happy pets and a lot less hair. What more could you ask for?! Definitely will be using this service again and will ALWAYS be reaching out to Jess. Wonderful person with a heart of gold. Thank you!”

“Elli did an awesome job watching my clingy goldendoodle! He typically doesn't do well.with new people so I had a couple meet and greats with Elli prior to us leaving for 12 days. Elli stayed at our home and I would definitely recommend her for anyone else that needs someone to take care of your fur baby.”

About: My very first pet was our dog Lily. She was a Shi tzu. Sadly, she passed away in 2020, but we kept her pups. Lily Jr, Harmony, Mr. Tibbs & Bellsprout. They all still live at home with my parents. I miss them all the time. I've taken care of animals my whole life, I love it, it gives me purpose. I work part-time and I'm currently in medical school trying to pay off my student loans. So I'm trying to make some extra money doing something I love. Thank you for your support I'm vigilant while I'm supervising animals. I know how fast and mischievous they can be. Safety is my number one motto when taking care of any living being. Safety first, fun right after. Some may call may Ace Ventura 🤣

About: I've loved dogs ever since I can remember. I have experience caring for every breed of dog imaginable. Never found one I didn't love to the moon and back. I am a firefighter so my schedule can vary but I'll have lots of time to care and love your pup and give them all the scratches they deserve. I treat others' homes just like my own, if not better. I also don't mind grabbing your mail, feeding other pets, or watering plants if needed.

About: Hi, my name is Jessica and I have an almost three year old named Adeline. I was fortunate to grow up with pets and Addie has had two dogs since she was born. In our home, your pets are family! I am very comfortable taking care of doggies, playing with them, and making them feel at home. They will also have the pleasure of running wild with our two fur-babies Bronté and Thoreau! Please rest assured that while your pets are in our care, your time away will be worry free! I am a stay at home mom and am home taking care of your dogs for the duration of their time with me. If you have any questions feel free to reach out! I will answer any questions you may have to make your experience with me as stress-free as possible! I run my business from my home so I am home most of the time other than appointments and errands so your dog will rarely be alone. I have a large yard and a lead to put your doggy on plus two fur-babies to keep your doggie company. My whole house is open to dogs but I am happy to crate if needed as well.

“Cassandra did an amazing job taking care of my 3 cats. She was very quick to respond if i had any question or concerns and showed real genuine care for my animals. She was my first sitter on Rover so i was kind of nervous about the whole process but she really made everything very easy and i was able to focus on my vacation and what i needed to get done.”
