Dog Boarding Candor

“Really great sitter . Really great with my dogs. Patient and nice. My dogs obviously had a good time. Hope he's around next time I go out of town. Thanks so much!”

“During the introduction meeting Carolina and her family were all so welcoming and kind and Carolina was obviously on point professionally so I was completely comfortable with leaving Onyx with them. The appointment went very smoothly and I highly recommend her to anyone needing a dog-sitter.”

“I wish I had the opportunity to give Steve and Patty higher than a 5 star rating - I would if I could. Seeing as this was my first time boarding my dog Blue while I traveled, I had my fair share of reservations however, Steve quickly made me realize there was nothing to worry about. Steve’s knowledge and experience with Dogs is evident from the moment one conducts the meet and greet. Blue had an amazing time for the duration of her stay - it almost seemed as if she didn’t want to come home. I highly recommend Steve and Patty to all those looking for someone to care for their dogs for whatever the duration may be.”

“Caterina proved to be the perfect sitter for my senior dog Max. She sent updates and it was evident that she truly cares about what she does. Max came home happy and energetic—not always the case with some boarding kennels. I cannot recommend her more highly, and Max and I look forward to his staying with her again.”

Thomas M.

“Arya is fantastic with our dog Max, and we couldn't be happier with the care he receives. He sends frequent videos and updates throughout the day, so we always know exactly what Max is up to and can see how happy he is. Max gets walked regularly, plenty of personal one-on-one playtime, and time to socialize with other dogs in a spacious area where they can really run and play. What really stands out is how much Max loves going there. He willingly goes with Arya every time and clearly enjoys himself the whole time he's there. It's such a relief to have a sitter we trust completely. Highly recommend Arya to anyone looking for a caring, attentive dog sitter!”

“Perfect as always - Mary helped us out when we were in the middle of an emergency. Winnie loved his stay with her and her pups and couldn't wait to come back!”

“Rose provided a caring , delightful home for our Seamus while we were away . She communicated beautifully, was so responsive and outstanding in every possible respect. We’re super grateful and recommend her heartily , and will seek her out when we go away again.”

Jennifer W.

“Destiny saved me last minute when my regular boarder was booked. She was very responsive, professional and thorough. My golden retriever, Simba was well taken care of in her home, instead of in a kennel at the overpriced “fancy” boarder in Ithaca. She sent me updates and pics daily and answered all of my texts within minutes! When my arrival time changed last minute, she was flexible and understanding. I will be using Destiny in the future and recommending her to other dog parents that I know!”

Sarah I.

“Laura takes the best care of our puppy, Ruby! Laura is communicative, warm, and trustworthy. Ruby loves spending time with Laura and always leaves happy and tired from a fun and busy day.”

Katie B.

“We had a lovely experience with Andrea! She was very easy to coordinate with and responded to communications promptly, and we returned to a happy and relaxed dog. Thank you again.”

Corinne W.

“Alexandria was awesome. Easygoing, communicative, flexible and totally capable. We really appreciate her taking care of our sweet pup for the night! He came back happy as a clam.”

Sandy M.

“Alfred had a great time! She treats him like a king and he eats that up!”

About: For any and all services I provide I will be seeking guidance from the pet owner for preferred handling as people treat their pets differently (allowed on furniture, leash vs off leash, feeding times, etc.) Most of my pet sitting experience has been at their home and i have cared for up to four dogs and two cats (plus chickens and fish). I have also babysat for a cat and a few different dogs at my place. I enjoy an active lifestyle and live near state lands so lots of hiking is usually on the agenda (for dogs anyway). I recently put down my aging cat and have found life is lonely without him, but I am not ready to replace him just yet. Rover seems like a great way to get my fix and earn some extra money along the way. I work full time Monday through Friday and have hour long lunch breaks if midday breaks are needed for your pets. Weekends are for serious play! I live on a low traffic road near a state forest. Access to trails from my back door and a large (unfenced) yard to roam. When staying in someone’s home I treat it like my own with care.

“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.

“Janet is great. She looked after our shih tzu for the afternoon while visiting the Corning Museum of Glass. She obviously loves pets, and her two dogs are very friendly.”

Eric A.

“We were so thankful that Kellyanne was available for us last minute, especially since our boy Odin had recently been dealing with a leg injury. She was so accommodating and made sure we were comfortable, as it was also our first time boarding him. Would definitely recommend Kellyanne!”

About: I can't wait to meet your doggies! We’ve rescued a few bulldogs in the past and I am comfortable taking care of dogs with special needs but love all kinds. We currently have 2 senior fur babies, and a young Chihuahua. I have pet sit for friends and family and am excited to make new furry friends. I work a 9-5 remote job, so I have lots of flexibility and my evenings and weekends are free. I love taking my doggies for walks. If your dog loves car rides, like mine does I am happy to bring them on adventures. I have lots of toys to play with! I am happy to host dogs in my home or go to them. Any dogs that stay with me can be kept with my dogs or separated.

“We were extremely pleased with the care and attention that Michelle gave to our dog Dixie. She took great care of our dog and when we came to pick her up, I think Dixie would have been happy to stay longer. The house, the accommodations and the caretaker were perfect for our dog and she was very relaxed when we came to pick her up. Michelle was a very good "fit" for us and Dixie. We definitely would use Michelle again.”

Deana H.

“Dana was wonderful! She took great care of Scooch! She took him on many walks throughout his stay and they had a lot of outside time to enjoy the nice weather. She sent pictures and videos which reassured me that he was happy. Thank you Dana we will definitely be booking with you again !”

“Bee was a joy to deal with sent me many pictures of Maddie..Maddie enjoyed being with her dog Harley and she was very well taken care of. Would recommend anyone boarding their dog with her”
