Dog Sitting in Central Square

“As always, Adrianna is always a great help and good friend to our pets. Her messages and photos are always comforting when we can’t be home with the critters.”

“Lee came in and was able to take care of Striker when we needed someone last minute. Striker is a shy and cautious girl, but Lee handled her with the patience and care she needed. Thank you Lee!”

“Rachael did a great job with Theo! She sent updates and pics which were so appreciated. We have never done anything like this before (hiring from Rover) and will definitely use Rachael again. Thank you!”

About: I've been helping take care of dogs since I was about 10 years old, when my family got my childhood dog, Roxie. Since then I've ben helping neighbors, friends and of course my family take care of their pets. Mostly dogs but also some cats. We raised out current dog Freya as a puppy, and while frustrating and difficult, it was also very fun and rewarding. I'm very pleased to see how far she's come from the tiny little ball of energized razor teeth that she was! I am a Geologist with lots of regional travel involved. When I am not traveling I am often working from home, so I work and simultaneously take care of my dog, Freya. For sitting/boarding/walking services I would be confined to weekends only with few exceptions. Requests for non weekends are welcomed though, I may be able to help if I am in town! I have a fenced in yard with a pool. I understand the pool may be a worry, so I wouldn't let your pet outside unless I am with him/her. Upon request, I can take your pet outside on a leash. We have one dog and two cats in our house. All are friendly towards other animals, but if you'd like more information about any of our pets please let me know!

About: I would be a fantastic pick because I have been both an owner and caregiver. I’ve owned 3 dogs, I’ve cared for over a dozen dogs from friends and other family members, and I’ve had further experience volunteering at a rescue since 2023. I think it will fit very well especially for any people who need pet care that work overnight, work late, tending to their children’s post school activities, etc. I have a very flexible schedule that makes me available for potential clients. Every home will be on a case by case basis. I’m flexible with any condition of the clients home. Unfortunately due to my current living conditions I am unable to welcome pets in my home for the time being.

“Courtney was great! She agreed to check in on my cat last minute for me. My cat can be very shy but warmed up to Courtney immediately. She has lots of experience owning pets as well as fostering, so I knew my cat was in good hands. I will definitely book with her in the future!”

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: I have been around animals my whole life. My range of experience goes from new born puppies and up. I have been dog sitting for my neighbor and some family friends for about 2 years now. I work 2 overnights a week at my job Sunday night and Tuesday night but would still be able to help out at night before going in and in the morning after I get out. I can make any accommodations for any of your animals needs whether that’s needing to only go out on a leash or following specific training plans.

About: Dogs are my people! Ever since I was a young child, my family has had dogs, so I have experience caring for pups of all ages, from puppies just old enough to be adopted to senior pups who lived beautiful, long lives. I also have experience with dogs of many sizes, from tiny fur-friends weighing less than 10 pounds to extra large dogs weighing in around 120 pounds. As an introvert, I have always connected easily with dogs in a way I couldn’t with people - I think they sense my kindness, gentle spirit, and calm heart. (But don’t worry, I learned to become a great communicator, and will make sure I understand all of your pup’s rules and needs!) Seeing a happy dog wagging its tail, or even smiling with its tongue escaping its mouth, truly brings me genuine happiness. And they say if you love what you do, you’ll never work a day in your life, right? I currently have a flexible schedule, as I am self-employed and mostly work from home, so I can arrange my work tasks around your pup’s schedule! (Regardless, in my household, the schedules have always revolved around the dogs’ needs and wants. 😂) Your pet’s safety is my top priority! First, I always make sure I clearly understand your rules for your pup and any special needs they may have. I have experience administering nutritional supplements as well as medications in pill form or topical form. I understand how important our pets are to us and our families, so I promise to maintain a safe environment and protect them in the event of any unexpected emergency. Communication is key in any successful relationship, and I expect that we will have a communication plan before any services begin so you can stay informed with any details you wish.

About: I have my own dog for about 9 years which I’ve had to help take care of, I have 3 cats who I also take care of, as well as a hamster and bearded dragon. I currently work part time as a dog grooming assistant but I’m available during the weekdays and any time after 5 on Fridays to take care of any animals when needed! I have a fenced in yard and a beagle of my own. I won’t be bringing the dogs in to my house since I would drive over to the clients house to walk the dogs.

“We're so happy we found Allie! She's been so kind with our ups and exceeding our expectations. One of our dogs is timid and she has been super patient with him. You can definitely tell she's an animal person!”

“Kirsten was great with our senior dog Andy. He has a few medical issues and Kirsten was caring and empathetic with him. He was happy and content with her and after we came home. I highly recommend Kirsten and will book with her again. She is booked to watch our pups in August.”

About: Hello!!!! I’ve been with Rover for about 3 years now and have watched/walked dogs and cats in three different cities now! I’ve also been referred to other pet owners via friends and family! I really just love animals of all sorts and giving them the care they need. I have a yorkie as well as an orange cat. I am comfortable with all pets- big, small, health issues, etc. so let me know how I can help!!! I have a job from 9-2 Monday-Friday and can stay the night with pups if needed. I also can just check on them in the morning time as well as hang with them anytime after 2! I take care of pets in clients’ homes only. I am very clean, respectful, and leave the place exactly how you left it. My main concern is taking great care of your pet.

“Alexis was wonderful!! She took excellent care of my dog while I was at work. She is reliable and trustworthy & would hire her again in a heartbeat. HIGHLY recommend!!!”

About: I’ve always gotten along with animals. I’m very family friendly and love to make bonds with dogs as they truly are a humans best friend! I have been relied on to take dogs on walks since I was 12 years old. I’ve been living with pets in my home since the day I was born! I have also been cat sitting and doing check ins on friends and family-friends animals whenever needed! I currently work full time, making me available at different hours of the day. I work either 6am-2:30pm or 2:30pm-11pm. Please let me know how I can assist you and if your schedule is flexible! I live in a very safe neighborhood and on a long road if you so chose to drop your dog off at my house, we would take a nice walk/jog on this road and be able to interact with other friendly neighbors who are also taking a walk. In the process of becoming pet CPR/First-Aid certified.

About: I have been dedicated to the pet care industry since 2011, offering reliable and compassionate care for dogs, cats, and small animals. My experience spans working in pet stores, veterinary clinics, and providing in-home pet sitting services. I specialize in caring for senior pets and administering medications, ensuring every animal's unique needs are met. I take great pride in treating each pet as if they were my own because I believe pets are just as much a part of the family as humans. I am available to play and care for your pets when your life gets busy. Drop in? Afternoon walk? Night time feeding? I’ll be there. I take pride in listening to my clients requests for their pets. I request that my clients leave a detailed list of feeding times, medication schedules, favorite toys, pets habits, list of phone numbers like their vets office, etc, as well as pets likes and dislikes so I can be sure all pets feel as comfortable as possible while in my care.

“Jennifer took such great care of my Boston terrier lily in my home when I needed a sitter to check in on my girl during a very long work shift ! I couldn’t have asked for a better person to do so, she sent photos during her visits too , I would recommend her to anyone and definitely will use her again in the future. Thank you so much Jennifer for making lily and I comfortable and giving me ease leaving my fur baby in your care .”
