“Ashley and her family took wonderful care of our dog Lady when I was visiting Ithaca for a long weekend. She sent daily doggy updates and lots of cute pics of Lady with her dog Wally and her son. Highly recommend Ashley and her family to care for your dog…just wish they lived closer to me! I will definitely bring Lady back to her family if I return to Ithaca in the future”
“I would give 100 stars if I could! Kelly is amazing! Kirby had such an amazing time at what we liked to call Camp Kelly. He went hiking, swimming, and exploring everyday! She sent tons of adorable photos of our little guy having a blast. We are so glad we chose Kelly to watch our angel while we were on vacation this summer! The pricing is beyond fair and definitely worth it. The fact that Kelly is so caring and compassionate about animals made us so comfortable about leaving Kirby behind for a week. Thank you so much, Kelly! 10/10 definitely recommend and will most definitely come back in the future! ?”
“Janet has a true passion for animal care and was great with my chihuahua mix named Peeky. I am always nervous leaving my dog with a pet sitter, but Janet’s compassion towards animals reassured me everything would be fine. She was very flexible with me in terms of drop off and pick up times. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible, reliable pet sitter.”
“Tim and Kathy are incredible people! They took such good care of our Caesar when we went away for the night. They sent pictures and sweet notes and we knew he was in the best of hands. If I could give 10 stars I would.”
“Our bulldog Leia had an amazing time! She played a ton in the huge, fenced-in yard and seemed to be very well cared for and received a lot of personal attention. We received a lot of nice updates with photos and videos. She was very tired when she got home which is great! We hope to have Leia stay with Robert and Eileen again when we travel in the future.”
“I can’t say enough nice things about Jessica and Eric, their beautiful family and puppo, Alex! They took great care of my two senior dogs and provided me with a myriad of photos. This is my first time leaving them with a Rover sitter, and it was a great experience hundred percent will be using them again.”
“Tara was ABSOLUTELY wonderful. This was the first time leaving our dog with a sitter so we were nervous. Meeting Tara she put us at ease and I knew she was the right choice. She frequently updated us and sent pictures. She took such great care of our dog. We will definitely be booking with her again and recommending her to family and friends.”
“Sheila was wonderful. Very helpful and quick to respond back to me. I booked an overnight with her to see if my dog and her would be a good match for a vacation planned out of the country, before we actually left. Lil bear did better with her then he has in the past, with other sitters. I am lucky to have found her and look forward to working with her in the future.”

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.
“Adalia did a great job taking care of our boy Loki during a 14 day stay at her place. He came back to us refreshed and relaxed, much better than his usual stay at the kennel. Adalia was easy to communicate with and helped us feel confident on our first use of Rover and Loki's first stay with her!”
“Quinnlyn had a relaxing and comfortable stay with Amanda and her family. He was given plenty of attention during his visit, and settled in feeling at home with them in a short period of time. We left town feeling confident he was in good hands. Amanda was responsive and easy to communicate with, making planning and coordination seamless throughout the duration Quinn’s stay. We won’t hesitate to schedule with Amanda in the future.”
“Riya is the best. Barkley felt instantly comfortable with her and her pup, Archie. She was so kind to help us on short notice. She took great care of Barkley, sent photos, and gave us the perfect amount of communication. Highly recommend her and will definitely connect with her again!”
