“Caterina did a great job caring for my two boys. She’s got space for walks and room inside for resting. I think the dogs enjoyed their visit.”

Lisa F.

“She is THE BEST! Kept our 2 dogs for 10 days and every other day sent us 15+ pics of them! They always seem to have a lot of fun and get tons of playtime in! Will be using her for all future bookings!!”

Charisse V.

“Robert and Eileen were so wonderful with our dog Poppy! This was our first time leaving her with a sitter, she usually goes everywhere we do. They made her comfort and care a priority, and we are so grateful for that. She had a wonderful time, and came home exhausted in the best way! Excellent communication and very accommodating, we would certainly book another stay with them!”

Tim A.

“Natalie took such exceptionally good care of Goose, and he and Leo had a great long weekend playing together and going on walks. Thank you for your care and attention to him and making him feel right at home :)”

“Charlie had a great time and Megan kept us updated with pictures. She was incredibly flexible with us. Will definitely reach out to Megan again when we need a sitter.”

About: I’ve been surrounded by furry family my whole life! I take their care very seriously. I have 2 furry babies of my own that love to meet new doggy friends. I can’t wait to meet you and your baby! I’m currently working part time as a nanny and have a lot of free time to spend with your pet! I’m open to special needs and specific care routines 😊 My dogs are my babies and I take so much care in making sure they are treated like it. I would love to treat yours the same!

“Derick was able to take my dogs within just an hour or two of me sending a request, which was needed at the last minute. He took great care of my dogs, who came home happy and energized.”

“Maxine was a fantastic sitter for my puppy! Took her on hikes almost daily and handled her meds and everything with no issue. She also took some fantastic photos and shared updates daily. Highly recommend!”

About: You no longer have to worry about finding a trustworthy and responsible dog watcher. My name is Ellie V and I am 28 years old. I’ve been watching dogs for at least 17 years of all sizes. Not afraid of any breed. I currently have two dogs, one is a Rottweiler and a French Bulldog. I will give your pet the best care you can imagine while you’re gone. At this time, I am free Monday-Friday at any time. That could change, so message me for an accurate response. I will not walk dogs after dark. I can drop-in or walk your dog during the day at almost any time. I do not walk dogs after dark, but will do drop-in visits after dark.

About: I have been taking care of dogs for as long as I can remember. I personally have grown up with dogs, and have been taking care of my neighbors dogs since I was 9. At a young age I started a dog walking service in my neighborhood where I would take dogs for walks, check in on pets while owners were at work, and even took their pets into my own home while owners were away on vacation. I have since continued to do this on rover both while at school, and while at home on breaks!! I have taken care of a wide range of dogs, including small to big sized dogs, and young (puppy) to older (elderly) dogs. I find it to be one of the most enjoyable jobs I have!! As a college student currently living away from home, pet care is a great fit for my weekly routine! I’m looking to help local families care for their pets while also getting the chance to spend time with dogs and cats while I’m at school and away from my own. I’m happy to work pet care into my schedule around classes and am very flexible with my availability. I’m available anytime on weekends, can stay overnight when needed, and am happy to stop by early in the morning before classes or anytime after my classes end. I love spending time with animals, and I’m excited to provide families with reliable, loving care while also earning some extra money on the side to go towards my education! I absolutely love animals and don’t hesitate to spend every moment I can with them! Whether I’m caring for a pet in my home or visiting a client’s home, I want each animals to feel comfortable, safe, and loved. I’m happy to spend extra time playing, going for walks, giving belly rubs, or simply keeping them company so they don’t feel lonely. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual personality, routines, and needs, and I’m committed to following their normal schedule as closely as possible. I treat every pet as if they were my own and want both the pets and their families to feel comfortable knowing they are in good hands.

“Stacey was amazing. You could tell our boy felt right at home after a long term stay with her. Will definitely rebook!”

Danielle S.

“Charlene was wonderful. Sent me photos of my dog throughout his 2 day stay, kept me updated and was very reassuring!! When I went to pick up my dog, they were outside. He had his toy in his mouth, greeted me, and went back inside Charlene’s house! She made it feel like home to him he didn’t want to leave! Can’t wait to see her again. My dog loved it and she made sure I had all my things before going home. Will do day sitting as well. I can’t say enough good things!”

About: I've had dogs my entire life from puppies to rescues! I've also been a grooming salon manager in Ithaca for 9 years. I've cared for many different breeds, ages, temperaments, and quirks all dogs have and I love them all the same. I have two dogs of my own Luke and Yoda. Luke is a 6 year old lab mix around 35 lbs. He is very loving and playful. Yoda is a 5 year old miniature fox terrier mix who has unlimited energy and is the sweetest snuggler. I am home all day with my baby and two dogs of my own so I can give the same care to some extra dogs! I treat every dog as if they are my own. I have lots of extra blankets to make sure they have there own space (i do recommend to bring some of there stuff like blankets, beds, and toys to make them more comfortable) and have extra room to separate them if they need to be alone. I will always make sure they are comfortable, happy, loved, and safe!

“Erin was absolutely amazing. She made us feel so at ease leaving our fur baby with her. She always made sure to send pictures and updates during our trip. Murphy had a great time playing in their yard and going on walks. I would definitely use them again to watch Murphy!”

About: I am just starting to my fourth career, playing with your companion. I recently retired from teaching sustainable development at UAlbany. I now spend my days outside with hairy friend Herman. I picked up my first stray, Bandit, at 9. I have had a at least one dog since then, I am now 63. All from shelters or strays. I also did doggie foster care too. Known to be gentle and friend of the furry ones. I start each day with a morning meander across the 25 acres on a dead end road. Your companion will be well exercised, loved and cared for as long as they get along with my 14 year old hairy friend Herman, who lets cats eat from his dishes. He runs the place when it comes to house rules. He does not have viscous bone in his body. After three careers and global travel I am recently retired. My days are spent gardening, walking, sitting on the porch, listening to music, etc. I am rarely gone more than a few hours as Herman, my four legged friend, needs special care at 14 years old. I am typically up before dawn, no dog or alarm necessary. My day typically begins with me waking predawn and greeting the new day with my hound Herman on the 25 acres we cohabitate. Most is abandoned agriculture returning to forest for 35 plus years that is bisected by a small babbling brook. Breakfast is then served before returning outside. In climate weather I am outside more than 70% of my day outside. At 14 he chooses to stay in sometimes. Your companion will be free to make their own choice too. My life ambition is to nurture life. I have cared for pets since I was born as my family had cats. There is a fenced area that includes four shaded area. There will be plenty of water, including a baby pool for play as well as sprinklers. This area is shares two fences lines with my garden, has direct access to a walk out basement, and is fully visible from my porch. The dogs will have near 24/7 personal attention and care. I live sustainably. There are no chemicals in my lawn or garden. I have an enclosed porch that in the summer is open air, but no steps to escape. Only with your permission would I walk a guest off leash. Before walking them off leash I will need feel 100% confident they respond to command when other distractions are present. Again with your permission I would take your friend to a fenced in dog park visit as a trial run. Herman, my housemate, is a happy healthy 14 year old he is my best reference. He also has final word on all guest of all species. About an 1/2 acre is fenced with direct access from the house through the basement door. It includes shaded doggie lounges, a baby pool in the summer, toys galore, and lots of attention as the space is adjacent to my garden and the covered porch. It has the capacity to be divided if unruly dog needs to be isolated or there are little ones that just need time away from the bigger ones. Indoors, dogs are free to roam in the basement and first floor. If they are cage trained I can accommodate that. The two beds are off limits. To prevent misunderstanding with bed loving dogs I will keep my guest room. Both the porch and the living room couches are fine. Little ones may use chairs too. The house is really set up for Herman’s comfort and safety. The 32x10 covered front porch is a favorite of Herman and all his visiting friends. Your hairy friend will be delighted by this feature too. One more thing, the hardwood floors are currently covered in rubber “yoga mats” as Herman can not cope with slippery floors. There are also many large dog beds that Herman is happy to share. Opps, where are our manners; welcome to our slice of Paradise!😊

About: I have worked with dogs and cats in General practice vet clinics and ER vet clinics for over three years. I also have experience volunteering at animal shelters and dog sitting/cat sitting. My schedule is very flexible and I am available most days and times for your pet! I am even able to care for pets on weekends, early mornings and evenings. I have a one bedroom apartment and no animals in the house.I can keep up with feeding schedules, walking schedules, and any medical needs your pet may have such as providing medication. I treat each pet like my own and I love staying in touch with pet parents throughout the stay by sending pictures!

About: I have 15 years of hands-on experience working with dogs of all temperaments — from confident, easy-going pups to anxious, shy, and reactive ones. I’m trained in reading dog body language, building trust, and providing calm, structured, loving care. Whether your dog needs extra space and patience or is a social butterfly ready for adventure, I meet them where they are so they feel safe, supported, and understood. Every dog in my care gets individualized attention, enrichment, and a secure environment Pet care isn’t something I fit into my routine — it is my routine. I do this full-time, which means your pet gets my full attention, flexible scheduling, and consistent care throughout the day. Right now, I’m focusing on dog walking and giving pups a safe, engaging, and positive experience on their daily outings. I have over 5 years of hands-on experience working in a shelter setting, working with all types of dogs — from social butterflies to anxious or reactive pups. Every walk is tailored to each dog’s needs, energy level, and comfort. I read body language, move at their pace, and provide structure, enrichment, and calm guidance. Your dog will get patience, safety-focused handling, and the same love and attention I’d give my own.

“Excellent, thanks for your professional approach. You took the time to gain insight into my dog's personality and provided a safe, and enriched stay. Looking forward to more bookings.”
