“AMAZING!! Jenna is so patient with Pillow and takes such good care about my little guy. He has very bad anxiety and she is so kind and good to my guy. I highly recommend Jenna she is the BEST!”
“Claudia was great! I was very comfortable having her in my home taking care of my fur family. I have 3 dogs and 1 cat, and they all loved her. She was very communicative and send pictures each day which was very much appreciated. I would highly recommend her for house/pet sitting.”
“Our dogs (even our timid rescue) adored Sarah and she was super communicative throughout her stay. She took them on an hour long walk each day and stayed with them in the house for extended timeframes throughout the day so that they had access to the yard and plenty of belly rubs. Highly recommend working with Sarah!”
“Caroline did an amazing job taking care of our dogs Ally and Penny and our house while we were gone for 4 days. Everything was better than we left it! Thank you so much Caroline!!!”
“Daniel watched our 3-yr old dog while we were away, and he did a fantastic job. He was great at communicating leading up to our vacation (confirming details) and sent us detailed daily updates while we were away! I felt really confident that our dog was well cared for! We will definitely ask Daniel to watch our dog again.”
About: I've personally had dogs, cats and fish in my life almost my whole life. I love animals and am teaching my kids the same love. Some would even say our Luna is a bit spoiled, but hey they are part of the family! I work remote so stopping by at any time works out just fine for me. Weekends I am not available will be taken off our calendar so anything on the calendar is potentially up for grabs on weekends. I am a firm believer in training and love. We don't have an issue with pups on the couch, nor issue with crate training. Each person has there own way of life and my goal is to respect that and provide safety and care for each persons fur-baby. As I would expect anyone to do for my fur-baby!
“Chris did a great job again with Luna, Mia, and the fish. All our pets were well-fed and happy when we returned. We appreciated the daily pics and great communication. Thank you, Chris!”
“Rachael was very communicative, sent photos of my pets, and responded to my text in a timely manner. She took great care of my pets and I would definitely recommend her. I plan on using her again for future needs.”
“Kaylee watched our two rescue dogs and cat for 6 nights at our house. This was our first time leaving our animals with someone else for multiple days. Our one dog is typically shy and afraid of new people, but Kaylee handled this with ease, and was so patient with her! She was responsive with all of our questions, and updated us each day. We will definitely book with them again.”
“Did a great job house-sitting our pups, and rolled with a chaotic returning-to-home situation to help us out with our three month old. Our pups have never seemed so content after a 3 day absence!”
“Linnea did an overnight stay at our house and took care of our two dogs. She was great with our dogs, attentive to various details of their care, and very organized and responsive. We enjoyed her text updates and photos of our dogs relaxing at home. I would highly recommend Linnea!”
“Claudia was amazingly professional and attentive to my two senior cats. I had to go out of town for 9 days and she stayed over, taking great care of them. For shorter trips away, I usually have friends stop in to check on them, but the cats are always stressed out when I get back. This time, they were pretty normal when I got home despite the longer time away, clearly having felt well taken care of the whole time!”
About: I am happy to take care of both dogs and cats! I have lived and cared for cats my whole adult life and I have professional experience working in a doggy day care which has prepared me to deal with dogs of all different personalities! I am available for morning, evening, and midday walks! I also work remotely several days a week and am happy to provide in-home care and walks during those days. I treat others pets as I do my own and know because I have professional training in pet care that I am able to provide a safe environment for them!
About: Hello, My name is Monique. I currently have 2 dogs of my own that, I only just realized have officially entered seniorhood. I currently work at a local vet clinic here in Ithaca so I am also up to date and knowledgable about different breeds,foods, treats, and everything cat and dog! Ive been pet sitting and walking since the age of 13 Which has helped me learn all about caring for animals at all ages. From 4 weeks up till seniority, I can do it all and love every minute of it. Taking care of animals is something im extremely passionate about. I would love the opportunity to meet you and your furry(or feathered or scaled) friend! I currently do work full time and have 2 kidsof my own; and my work schedule does change from week to week but with a little bit of planning, im able to make most things work! Never be afraid to ask if you dee something and are unsure if im the right fit for you! Rover inly lets me specify certain details. I take all safety precautions, double leashes, prong collars(if provided), harnessed walkes, anything that YOU say works best for your pet, I am doing. I dont like to take the risk!
“We are so glad we found such a nice place for our anxious old dog to stay when we have to go out of town. Hanna accommodated all of our dog's needs. We'll definitely use Hanna again.”
“Riya was great- we definitely recommend her for anyone who wants to feel comfortable leaving their animals when they have to leave. She was great at keeping us updated, asking questions, and paying really close attention to the health and happiness of both our cat and dog! We will for sure be coming back to ask her to watch them in the future because she is very dependable and trustworthy.”
“I cannot say enough about Claire. She took care of everything. In my opinion, tater ( the dog ) would rather live with Claire than me at this point. That’s how good she is with animals. 100% recommend her!!!”
“Georgia was FANTASTIC with our crew for the two weeks we were away. I felt completely confident in having her in our home, caring for our most favorite family members during our trip and would absolutely book her again. We came home to happy, healthy animals and a sparkly clean house. Great communication and photo updates were a huge bonus too. Thanks Georgia!”

Monique J.
“Monique is WONDERFUL! I actually met her at her job, Petland. I was shopping for a new collar and some toys for my boxer mix and I was going on about how I was trying to find someone to watch him for the weekend while I went away on business, and she mentioned that she actually did dog sitting and would love to do it. The next day I met with her and my little Billy got to see her house and meet her dogs, everyone immediately hit it off amd it was set! She sent me LOADS of pictures and videos of Billy having fun with her and her dogs, even ahowing me that she took him to the pool. It really helped reassure me, especially since this is the first time spending the weekend away from him. She really is the greatest and her love for dogs is evident.”

Noah is the absolute best dog sitter we have ever had! He is a clear and punctual communicator. He is skilled in working with dogs of all temperaments and took extra time to allow my timid rescue to warm up to him. Now she adores him and looks forward to his visits! He is very thoughtful about all aspects of their care and has been fantastic on walks and overnights. We look forward to his updates and photos and always know they are happy and at ease with Noah. I highly trust and recommend him.
