“Nicole took great care of my cat. I’ll work with her again and give her my highest recommendation. She was professional, punctual, and communicated effectively. She solved problems when they arose, and if I couldn’t communicate immediately, she made wise decisions in the best interest of my cat and kept me informed. Thanks Nicole!”


About: I have raised and lovingly cared for 3 dogs in the last 20 years. Your pet will feel like they are at home when you're away.. I am a local teacher with my summer off. I have two dogs and children but they travel between two houses. While your pet stays with me it would be just them and myself, they would get my full attention! My yard is set up for games of catch or just exploring new smells. I have a fenced in backyard and an already established dog friendly home. I love walking around my neighborhood and to the park. I am able to drive to your home if needed to feed, let out or walk your pet.


“First time using Rover and Kaylee and Aaron were fantastic pet sitters. They helped us understand the process, helped us feel comfortable with using the service, and were incredibly responsive! We were so excited to have new pictures each day along with a brief description of their visit. We'll definitely contact them again in the future.”


“Lauren is a reliable, caring, and considerate pet sitter. She visited my home every other day to check on my cat while I was away for 2 weeks. During our meet-and-greet session, she was so patient with my cat when I first introduced them, letting my cat approach her first during the intros. Lauren is a natural with animals! And she always sent pictures during her visits, which I really appreciated. I’ll be coming back to Lauren for my future pet-sitting needs!”


“Claudia did a great job with Enzo! She's pleasant, dependable and I can tell she really enjoys what she does. Enzo looked so happy in the pictures she texted me when she did her drop in visits to feed him and take him outside. I will definitely hire Claudia again.”


About: I grew up in a house with dogs, and have been taking care of them since I was about 10. Friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and care for there animals while away ! As I said In my bio, I am a college athlete so I do have practice during the week and traveling during weekends. Although my class schedule is flexible and I do have a reliable car :) time spend with the animal, walking and exercise is super important to me. I will do everything in my power to give your animal all the love and attention it needs

“Anthony was nothing short of incredible! He last minute accepted my request after a previous sitter cancelled. He was friendly, quick to communicate, and super accommodating of my requests and the short notice request. He sent photos of my baby and gave her so much attention (she’s very needy). Would definitely hire him again in the future :)”


“Sarah has watched my cat on multiple occasions and continues to make amazing progress in developing a relationship with my very shy and occasionally skittish cat. She always provides thoughtful notes and observations after her visits. I'm so happy to have Sarah as a part of my care team!”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was a kid. I own 3 dogs at home as well as working in dog shelters. I also have 2 cats! I’m currently a full time Animal Science student at Cornell University, so working on weekends is the best for me. Typically anytime in the day works for me but afternoon/evening is preferred! I always leash dogs especially when out in public just as a precaution as well as to respect others boundaries. One of my dogs at home is kennel trained so if needed I can put your dog in a kennel!

About: I have been lucky enough to spend time with dogs of a range of ages, sizes, and personalities, from energetic puppies to sweet senior pups who need a slower pace and a gentle touch. I’m comfortable with a wide range of needs, just let me know! I take time to build trust, especially with shy or anxious dogs, and I always move at their pace. I also pay close attention to behavior and body language, so I can respond quickly if something seem off. But most importantly, I make sure that they're safe and happy, while waiting for their favorite person to come back to them. Caring for the fluffy angels is something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize in my daily life. My schedule is flexible and I can work from home, which means I can dedicate quality time to walks, play, feeding, and companionship without rushing. Whether I'm welcoming pets into my home or caring for them in their own space, I always focus on creating a calm, safe, and loving environment. I live in a quiet apartment surrounded by forest and green space, with very little car traffic in the neighborhood, which is perfect for peaceful walks and outdoor sniff time. At my place, I maintain a clean and cozy space with plenty of room for your doggie or kitty to lounge, play, or nap. In your home, I'll respect the privacy and cleaness of your space. I will follow your care instructions closely, from feeding routines to medication schedules and favorite toys, because I know how important familiarity and consistency is to their happiness.

“Madison took great care of our pup. We needed someone to take Hallie for a walk and spend some time with her at the house during the day. She was careful with our directions and meeting Hallie's specific dietary needs and provided regular updates with photos. We highly recommend Madison!”


About: Hello! My name is Ryan. I have been helping out with dogs for years and love doing so. I have done everything from walking to overnights so I’m well versed in most aspects. I have my own Pomeranian puppy named Shadow and it has definitely made me a more aware and reliable carer for animals. I am most experienced in walking and check-ins although am open to any help needed! I am comfortable with all sized dogs and have no issues medicating. I have a rather flexible schedule so I’m typically able to work around your day if need be. I decided to branch out to this platform because I wanted an opportunity to get the most experience possible. I hope to see your best friends soon! I’m always available in the afternoons and I can be available during the day if requested in advance due to working from home. I’m quite flexible. I have two friendly dogs at my home that love new friends. I can crate your animal easily if needed as well. I treat any animal as if they were my own.

About: I love all dogs of every kind and will genuinely care for your dog and treat him or her like my own dog making sure they have fun and are safe I’m a student and have a lot of availability so working with animals would be a great way for me to fill my days for both me and hopefully your animal I have a naturally fenced in back yard as well with plenty of room to play and have a dog of my own who absolutely loves other dogs and will play all day long

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and currently have a German shepherd of my own. I’ve also walked and cared for many dogs since I was a teenager including dog sitting for my own Veterinarian’s dogs. I’m a part time therapist and I work remote so I’m always local. My availability varies but I’m mainly available mornings and afternoons before 3pm as well as most weekends. In your home I would make sure your dog is as comfortable in its routine as if you were home and leave no trace of my presence. If I were to care for your dog in my home I have a friendly German shepherd puppy (fully vaccinated) and a dog-friendly cat. If your dog is comfortable with other dogs and cats I’d be happy to welcome them into our furry family for their visit.

About: Hi! My name is Emery and I am a recent college grad. I've had a wide variety of pets that I've taken care of in the 7 years of experience I have. I have taken care of dogs for about 4 years and have experience feeding, walking, and watching dogs. I also really enjoy taking dogs on hikes! I have mostly done house drop ins where I would feed the dogs and play with them. I own three cats myself, Pumpkin (13), Bean (11 weeks old) and Sprout (3). I have trained the older ones to do tricks and to go on walks. My most recent experience has mostly been in care for cats, where I would feed and play with them at home visits. I am currently a line cook and I work mostly evenings. I can easily work pet care around my schedule by making sure I go to take care of your pet needs before any shift. I have two cats at home, and I am willing to house cats at my home. Small dogs are allowed on a case by case basis. I have an extra bedroom to be used as a safe zone for your pet's privacy. I also already have extra litter boxes. Our cats here have experience meeting other cats and dogs. They interact well with them. As for dogs I am willing to dedicate as much time needed to make sure they adjust well and feel safe with me. I love to play with dogs and give them belly rubs.

About: Personally I’ve cared for many animals over the years, whether it was pets of my own, or pet sitting for friends and family. Professionally I have experience working with dogs, cats, and horses as a kennelman. I have a very flexible schedule and I’m able to adjust it to accommodate and prioritize the needs of you and your pet as needed. Client care in home will be dependent on the needs of your pet. I can provide walks on site if possible or elsewhere locally as needed.

About: Living with family dogs since the age of 5 I have completely fallen in love. My favorite job has been at a doggy daycare when I get to interact and watch over all the well being of the dogs. I also have a month of pet sitting experience with the full care package. I am currently looking for a job in Ithaca after a long winter adventure in Vermont. I've got loads of free time and dogs make me the happiest! I would love to fit in your pets needs into my schedule. I have a fenced in yard with space to run for my 2 pooches at home. If I am at a clients home I am young and active and can provide long walks and frequent bathroom breaks. As well as attention and affection, I love to see a happy dog that knows its valued, I will make your dog feel loved.

My family and I have one large dog and one medium dog, but I know that she is comfortable and enthusiastic about loving dogs of all sizes. Emma is very good at giving updates and communicating about any potential problems or clarifications. She is very determined to make sure that the pet is cared for in a way that is best for the pet's individual needs.”
