House Sitting in Brooktondale

“Crystal was spectacular with my dog, Blueberry. He is pretty shy, but she was able to work with him easily. She sent so many lovely pictures and updates, and they for sure enjoyed each others company. I would definitely book Crystal again if Blueberry needs a sitter!”

About: I am an experienced dog handler currently working for a doggie daycare. I have also grown up owning and caring for both cats and dogs. I am extremely happy working with pets and can confidently perform everyday care. I currently work part time Thursday-Saturday, but I keep my schedule flexible throughout the rest of the week. I have my own transportation and manage my time efficiently. I currently live with and care for three cats: Fez, Chris, and KitKat. I have experience living with multiple dogs and cats at a time, so chaos is no issue. I can follow any feeding and activity schedule, give medication, and perform hygiene and grooming tasks like baths or trimming nails.

“I have witnessed the unconditional love and care that Marissa has towards animals of any kind alongside a deeper form of concern and attention to detail when it comes to an animal's overall well-being. Growing up, Marissa was an individual who looked past an animal's demeanor into their overall health, constantly checking on their diet, injuries, and exercise habits. Recently, Marissa has been the one in charge when it comes our dogs, Pebbles and Lefty, in regards to their medication, health, and overall lifestyle as they grow older in age. This attention to detail and responsibility concerning pets applies across the board. An example would be our two hamsters, Mira and Tilly, who she took care (feeding, cleaning, playing with them, etc.) until their natural end. To anyone who wishes to leave their pet in the hands of a considerate, knowledgeable, and responsible individual, I vouch for Marissa.”

“Kaylee did an amazing job watching after our senior dog during our recent vacation! She is experienced and professional, communicated well, and was able to administer some eyedrops our dog is currently receiving. We are especially grateful because we booked a little bit last minute, after another boarding facility had canceled on us due to over booking. We started as a stressful situation a few days before our vacation turned out being the best scenario! Our dog stayed in the comfort of our own home and had amazing care. We will definitely book again!”

“Gabby was wonderful! Communicative, prompt, and responsible. She sent me lots of pics and updates so I was very reassured. She really seemed to enjoy spending time with my cat which made the whole experience pleasant . I will definitely try to book her again.”

“Caroline took great care of Coco and sent us pictures daily so we could see how our elderly girl was doing. She brought in the mail and watered our plants. And when we came back the house looked great… She provided us with peace of mind so we could enjoy our time away. I definitely recommend her!!”

“Kyle was our first dog sitter that wasn't family. He ensured our comfort by doing a meet and greet and a walk before our trip away. Our German Shepherd connected with him so quickly. We loved that he updated us every morning with pictures from their previous day. He has great communication, punctual, kind, and took great care of our dog. We couldn't be happier with our first dog sitter experience.”

“Summer was amazing house sitting my dog Haddie over the weekend! She took the time to learn what Haddie liked and then made sure to include those activities (playing catch and porch time) into their day. She was great at updating me on how Haddie was doing and sending me photos. Summer was very attentive and caring, and I will definitely be booking her again in the future!”

“Chris took good care of Coco, following our directions and’s her routine. He also left the house in good order. Coco was well and happy when we returned. What more could we ask for?!”

“Ranger is a special needs dog. When Genel came for the meet and greet she took notes and asked questions. Ranger absolutely loved her! When she sat for him she contacted me with questions and concerns. Hope she sits again for Ranger!”

“Gizem is great with pets! She’s watched my dog Mocha multiple times in the past and has been great with her! She’s responsible and keeps you updated.”

“Maggie was great when she came and spent a day and a half with our young dog and two cats. She provided regular updates and made sure we knew everyone was doing well. She also left the house spotless. Would absolutely book with Maggie again.”

“Alexandra is amazing with animals. She has watched my dog more than once and is very responsible. She will take care of your pet like it is hers. She is a very reliable and she will take great care of your pet(s).”

“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!”

“Kylie did an amazing job! It was our first time leaving our pup and we were worried about how she would do. Kylie sent us photos and videos everyday. We told Kylie she could bring her own dog because Selkie loves other dogs. After a few days, it was apparent that Selkie had made a new friend and was having a great time. We were worried she would be depressed when we came home! Selkie went on walks and played and got great care. Our house was perfect when we got home. Kylie went above and beyond to make sure our animals got everything they needed, even took in some plants for me when there was a frost warning. We will definitely be calling Kylie again when we need a house sitter.”

“Cristian has looked after Charlie twice and it’s been a great experience. Cris is a clear communicator, sends lots of photos, Charlie adores him. Cris has helped us out with a sort of last minute request. Highly recommend and hope to have Cris help us out in the future”

“Abel is an incredibly caring, loving, and responsible dog caregiver. I can't think of anyone who I would trust more to take care of my own animals. He truly loves all dogs and sees the good in each one. I cannot recommend Abel enough as a dog sitter--he is truly a one of a kind person with a huge heart and love for all.”

“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!”

About: Experience with cats: My childhood home had two large playful cats that I grew up alongside. We got them as kittens and many of my most treasured memories are of playing with them both, the chirp one made while watching birds, the startled purr the other would make if awoken, and the joy they both brought into our home. My first tattoo was a commemorative drawing of the two of them. I know Rover is primarily for dogs, but I am fond of cats especially and would love the chance to meet yours! More about me: I recently graduated Ithaca College with a major in Mathematics and minors in Environmental Studies and Deaf Studies. I enjoy deviating from recipes, wandering in the woods, tea parties, and taking pictures of the sunrise. I am working part-time and often have mornings free. I have a pretty flexible schedule and am happy to check-in on your cat multiple times a day if needed, and stay to play if they're feeling playful! I am not currently doing boarding, but I am more than happy to drop-in or house sit for you. I am responsive, willing to be patient while shy animals get acclimated, and would love more affectionate cat friends to visit!

About: I have fed, walked, trained, groomed, and medicated family and friends' pets since I was 10 years old. I took a vet assistant course in highs school and have worked as a veterinary assistant and technician since 2020. I have my own small zoo at home made up of birds, mice, aquatics, a cat, and even some insects! I have a passion for animal welfare and am always doing research to provide my pets the best quality of life. I currently work full-time on weekdays but am available before 7AM after 4PM for quick drop-ins for things like potty breaks. My weekends are usually free starting on Friday evenings after 3PM. I am very careful to check my surroundings for anything that may cause harm to an animal or be an escape hazard. I make sure to ask pet owners about where their pet may require extra attention/supervision and their pets habits. I prefer to keep pets in their known surroundings to prevent further stress while pet sitting, but if needed, I may be able to care for certain animals in my own home. I have a cat, but she is well-behaved and NEVER alone with other animals, nor left in a situation in which she can harm or be harmed.
