Lee was wonderful! She took pics of our doggos to show us they were okay. She helped us feel at ease about being gone by reassuring us that she had things handled. We will definitely request her assistance again!

Excellent sitter. Very loving towards the dogs. Stayed an extra night after our flight was delayed. Couldn't have asked for better communication. Provides ease of mind while you are away from your pets.

About: I have cared for my own dog for the past 13 years and sadly he died in February 2025. I walked him around my neighborhood consistently for all those years and now having that routine gone is difficult. Before having him as my own, I also helped take care of my families dog for several years. I am experienced in caring for dogs of all ages and demeanors and all sizes too :) I am attending SUNY Cortland right now and that is the only large barrier in my weekly schedule. I can care and/or walk dogs after 7pm on Monday and Wednesdays. I am available after 4pm on Tuesday and Thursday. Friday and Saturday I can provide care all day with a days notice. Without notice I will most likely be working on Friday and therefore not available until after 4pm that day. I can house-sit on Fridays and Saturdays and into Sunday afternoon as well! I will maintain a safe and calm environment for your pet while caring for them and allow them to initiate any desired games or actions. I am willing to accommodate however you prefer for your dog when caring for them, just let me know of anything necessary :) Any questions or concerns for your dog's care are welcomed and appreciated as I prefer a heads up in advance of anything unusual or to keep an eye out/for. Thanks :)

About: No dog deserves the kennel! Why settle for the pound when they can spend a night in a home with an owner-on-loan; either in your house on in a house that has raised two other pets from puppyhood to old age? Admittedly, there are stairs and hardwood floors in my house, but I have bought several carpets for my old dog to move around on and can lay them down for your dog’s convenience. We also have a big backyard that your dog will love to run around in (and no predators, unless you count woodchucks and geese) and a long leash that can go all the way to the end of the property line. I love dogs and after a day with me, your furry friend will mistake me for his mother. I’m most busy Wednesdays-Thursdays, so I marked them out on the calendar, but if petsitting is required for several days, that is easy to accommodate! I also don’t mind waking up every few hours to take a dog out—I have not quite reached the age where sleep is important. I won’t allow your dog to roam around outside unleashed (sorry, but I don’t want to lose them!), but when they’re outside, I’ll make sure they have the freedom to run around to their heart’s content. Additionally, I’m willing to walk them in any weather they’ll put up with and even let them sleep on the couch/spare bed, if they’re not too dirty.

About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life and currently care for two 4-month-old pups and an 8-year-old cat. I provide dependable, loving care that pets feel comfortable with from day one. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine since I have three of my own—a cat and two 4-month-old puppies. I keep them on a consistent schedule and am actively teaching the puppies basic commands like potty training and sitting. While I work a full-time job during the year, in the summers I take on two part-time jobs, which gives me even more flexibility and time to dedicate to caring for pets. When caring for pets, I treat them as if they were my own and make sure they feel truly loved and cared for. I focus on creating a calm, safe environment where they can feel comfortable and relaxed. I understand that every pet is different, so I adjust to their needs and routines. My goal is always to make the experience as smooth and stress-free as possible—for both pets and their owners.

About: I grew up in rural Montana and I have had experiences with every sort of animal: wild, farm, and domestic. My parents helped foster my love of animals by providing my brothers and I small aquatic critters, along with always having an expanding roster of cats and dogs. I know how not to get kicked by a horse, trampled by moose, or pinched by a hermit crab named Cracky. I am a massive homebody on the weekends and most weekdays. My most wild nights lately have been spent exploring the Wegmans and Trader Joe’s. Am I boring? Probably! But also very dependable. I am insured privately for pet sitting, dog walking, and grooming services so you can have extra peace of mind (and so can I!). I have a two pet friendly animals who are below 20lbs. The little dog is blind and older, but still loves to play with medium sized dogs and dogs who are gentle. I am lucky to live semi-rurally while being in town and have lots of room for dogs to stretch their legs, with 8 acres of forest and meadow. I just got chickens but they are kept separate from my pet sitting clients. For drop-in visits, I am able to do walks, outdoor play, indoor play, feeding, and any other pet related activities that you require.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a kid. Now I tend to treat them like my own children. I’ve been the go-to person for dog-sitting when my friends have gone away on trips for as long as two weeks. I work full-time; however, my hours are flexible. Typically, I work 7am to 3pm so I’m an early riser ready for those morning walks! I’m able to leave work for lunch time for walks and potty breaks. I’m available for daily runs, traveling to parks, and long walks. I live in a quiet neighborhood that hospitable you many local pet owners. Puppy play dates is a possibility.

This was our first time using a new dog sitter since our previous one moved away, but Kristin really helped to set us at ease. We met her and her sweet little dog prior to booking, to make sure that we would all be comfortable, and she came off as very nice, dependable, and trustworthy. After we left on our trip, she showed up when she was scheduled to and sent several updates with pictures each day, so that we could see how happy and comfortable our dogs were. When we returned home, everything looked exactly how we left it, and the dogs had clearly been well cared for. We were very happy with our experience with Kristin and wouldn't hesitate to book her again!

About: We love dogs! I have had dogs my whole life. We currently have a ten-year-old black mouth cur. We adopted him through a local shelter. We also recently applied to foster dogs and care for them to provide them with a loving home until they are adopted. We live in a large house that can accommodate 3 or 4 dogs. I can provide plenty of exercise for high energy dogs. I am available anytime during the day or evening during July and August. After August, I will be available in the evening as well as Saturdays and Sundays. I have a fenced in yard. Your dogs can enjoy the deck in the yard to soak up the sun or roam in a secure area. I can crate your dog if needed.

About: I have 18+ years of experience caring for a plethora of animals, ranging from cats to dogs to birds and reptiles, with a keen eye for behavioral signs and traits. I worked in the veterinary realm as a journalist for renown international veterinarians for 2+ years, learning lots of skill sets and tips and tricks to ensure your pet is happy, healthy, and as stress-free as can be. I also have experience in fostering strays and finding them their furever homes, and with caring for FIV kitties. I cannot wait to take care of your fuzzy, feathery, or scaly pet! 💕 I am currently doing remote freelance work and have a flexible schedule for the most part. As long as I have a 5-7-day notice prior to vacation plans, I’ll always do my best accommodate your schedule. I currently live with 5 beautiful kitty cats that are truly my entire world. I like to keep a clean home, so I typically will clean up any accidents or messes that may arise due to inappropriate elimination/litter/accidents/etc. I also pay very close attention to every animal I take care of so I can be in tune to any behavioral changes that may arise due to stress or an underlining illness. For dogs, I like to get out as much energy as I can so they are nice and relaxed by the end of the day. I absolutely love playing chase/going for walks/fetching/tug-of-war/etc, and have experience with a variety of dogs ranging from havanese to bully breeds to labs and everything in between!

About: I know firsthand how important our furry friends are, which makes it my upmost priority to ensure that your critters are receiving the best possible care. Whether they need someone to keep them company or someone to go on adventures with them, I do everything to make sure they’re happy and healthy. I’ve spent my entire life surrounded by both cats and dogs, and I know just how much work it takes to make sure they’re treated right. If you need a hand with your furry friends, I’m here to help! DESERT72563, https://www.rover.com/sit/desert72563 Incorporating pet care into my daily or weekly routine involves tasks such as feeding, grooming, exercise, and companionship. Setting aside specific times each day for feeding and play/exercise sessions, schedule regular grooming sessions based on my pet's needs, and ensuring to spend quality time bonding with my pet. It's also important to factor in veterinarian appointments, cleaning up after my pet, and providing mental stimulation through training or enrichment activities. 1. Feeding: Following feeding schedules, portion sizes, and any dietary restrictions. Ensure that fresh water is always available for the pets. 2. Exercise and Playtime: Engage pets in regular exercise and play sessions to keep them physically and mentally stimulated. This can include activities like walking, playing with toys, or interactive play with us. 3. Grooming: Depending on the type of pet, grooming needs may vary. Brush their fur regularly, trim their nails when necessary, and keep their ears and teeth clean. 4. Litter Box Maintenance: For cats, regularly clean the litter box to ensure hygiene and prevent any litter box issues. Replace the litter as needed. 5. Medication and Health Care: If my pet requires medication, follow the instructions provided by the (vet) administer it as directed. Always attentive to any signs of illness or discomfort and inform the vet if conditions worsens. 6. Safety and Security: Ensuring that the environment is safe for the pets by removing any hazards or toxic substances. Keep doors and windows secure to prevent pets from accidents. 7. Communication with the Patrons: Maintaining open and clear communication with the pet patrons. I will provide regular updates on the pet's well-being, any concerns or issues that arise, and I will follow any specific instructions or preferences patrons may have. Remembering, every pet is unique, so it's important to tailor care to their individual needs. Always prioritize the well-being and safety of the pets I am responsible for.

About: Reliability, patience, and empathy are how I approach everything in life. I just happen to love animals, and have taken care of dogs since I was 12. I’ve shadowed dog trainers the past two years, and while my priority is to give your pup the love and attention they deserve, I also know how to foster a healthier relationship between owners and their pets. Whether it’s helping dogs who are reactive to other dogs, or as simple as tugging on the leash during a walk, my goal is always to enrich the lives of the dogs I meet, and strengthen the trust between them and their loving family. My schedule is wide open and arranged around my son’s school and care. When I’m not in dad mode, I’m in dog mode with a flexibility that allows me to provide consistent walks and establish strong relationships between my clients and I. All mornings, most afternoons, and every other weekend, rain or snow, I’m happy to tend to yours and your animal’s needs. I see my role in two ways, making sure your pet feels secure and has fun, while making sure you feel secure as you’re entrusting me to show a member of your family the care they need and deserve. I come to my clients for walks, and I come into their house to check on pets/pet sit. Respect for my clients, their boundaries, and how they wish for their pets to be taken care of is the most important way to build trust.

Pat is a kind and responsible person who you can trust to take excellent care of your “best friend “. Pat recently lost the rescue dog who was his companion for the last 13 years. While not ready to replace Buddy yet, he misses having a dog in the house and would be happy to care for yours while you’re away. Pat has watched dogs many times over the years for family members and neighbors who needed his help. He will play with, walk, and keep your dog company. I’m sure your dog will love staying with Pat.

I have lived next to John for three years and when I first met him, I thought he was a breeder because he had so many dogs frolicking around the yard. It turns out he’s not a breeder, he just takes care of so many other neighbors’ dogs that they sometimes commingle and have babies (but usually don’t). His house has a big yard that animals love to use for the bathroom, possibly because all the other dogs also go there, but I’d like to think it’s because there’s something about John that attracts them. I swear he was a terrier in another life.

About: I have 18+ years of experience caring for a plethora of animals, ranging from cats to dogs to birds and reptiles, with a keen eye for behavioral signs and traits. I worked in the veterinary realm as a journalist for renown international veterinarians for 2+ years, learning lots of skill sets and tips and tricks to ensure your pet is happy, healthy, and as stress-free as can be. I also have experience in fostering strays and finding them their furever homes, and with caring for FIV kitties. I cannot wait to take care of your fuzzy, feathery, or scaly pet! 💕 I am currently doing remote freelance work and have a flexible schedule for the most part. As long as I have a 5-7-day notice prior to vacation plans, I’ll always do my best accommodate your schedule. I currently live with 5 beautiful kitty cats that are truly my entire world. I like to keep a clean home, so I typically will clean up any accidents or messes that may arise due to inappropriate elimination/litter/accidents/etc. I also pay very close attention to every animal I take care of so I can be in tune to any behavioral changes that may arise due to stress or an underlining illness. For dogs, I like to get out as much energy as I can so they are nice and relaxed by the end of the day. I absolutely love playing chase/going for walks/fetching/tug-of-war/etc, and have experience with a variety of dogs ranging from havanese to bully breeds to labs and everything in between!

Joey watches my dog very often when I am working overnights and out of town! Louie loves when he comes over and when I say “Joey is watching him”. He is always very tired because they played so hard and always has enough food and water. Definitely recommend joey to watch your pet…treats them like his own!

About: I know firsthand how important our furry friends are, which makes it my upmost priority to ensure that your critters are receiving the best possible care. Whether they need someone to keep them company or someone to go on adventures with them, I do everything to make sure they’re happy and healthy. I’ve spent my entire life surrounded by both cats and dogs, and I know just how much work it takes to make sure they’re treated right. If you need a hand with your furry friends, I’m here to help! DESERT72563, https://www.rover.com/sit/desert72563 Incorporating pet care into my daily or weekly routine involves tasks such as feeding, grooming, exercise, and companionship. Setting aside specific times each day for feeding and play/exercise sessions, schedule regular grooming sessions based on my pet's needs, and ensuring to spend quality time bonding with my pet. It's also important to factor in veterinarian appointments, cleaning up after my pet, and providing mental stimulation through training or enrichment activities. 1. Feeding: Following feeding schedules, portion sizes, and any dietary restrictions. Ensure that fresh water is always available for the pets. 2. Exercise and Playtime: Engage pets in regular exercise and play sessions to keep them physically and mentally stimulated. This can include activities like walking, playing with toys, or interactive play with us. 3. Grooming: Depending on the type of pet, grooming needs may vary. Brush their fur regularly, trim their nails when necessary, and keep their ears and teeth clean. 4. Litter Box Maintenance: For cats, regularly clean the litter box to ensure hygiene and prevent any litter box issues. Replace the litter as needed. 5. Medication and Health Care: If my pet requires medication, follow the instructions provided by the (vet) administer it as directed. Always attentive to any signs of illness or discomfort and inform the vet if conditions worsens. 6. Safety and Security: Ensuring that the environment is safe for the pets by removing any hazards or toxic substances. Keep doors and windows secure to prevent pets from accidents. 7. Communication with the Patrons: Maintaining open and clear communication with the pet patrons. I will provide regular updates on the pet's well-being, any concerns or issues that arise, and I will follow any specific instructions or preferences patrons may have. Remembering, every pet is unique, so it's important to tailor care to their individual needs. Always prioritize the well-being and safety of the pets I am responsible for.

Alex is so great with dogs. He really helped me take care of my old pup Kooki whenever I left town, and was always sending us cute pictures of them together! Such a kind soul and clearly loves your pet like they are his own.
