“Gil was so great with our Lulu !!! He was awesome to communicate with before and during her stay. We set up a meet beforehand and he asked lots of thoughtful questions to make sure he understood her care. Lulu had long walks in the country while she was with him and lots of snuggles - just what she loves ! When we picked her up she was so relaxed and happy. Couldn’t ask for anyone better to watch our girl ?”


“Lorinda was simply amazing! She came to pick up Nova on time and consistently sent Nova's photos and videos. She is very passionate and patient with puppies as well. Having her service was a great experience for me, and I will definitely trust her again on my next trip to care for my baby.”


“Morghan was wonderful with our elderly dog. Super responsive and communicated well throughout the time she was boarding her. Took great care of her and clearly loves all types of animals. Highly recommend her!”


“Thomas was the perfect sitter for Beauty. She does best with someone who will let her sleep outside or in the garage and just be around. She seemed so happy and got to go on some little local trips. Thomas sent pictures daily with updates which was perfect for me.”


“Brittany was very responsive from the beginning. She took great care of Maple, sent some pictures while we were gone and gave Maple lots of attention so we could spend the day in Cooperstown with our kids. Thanks Brittany!”


“Super accommodating and friendly. Our dogs had to stay an extra day due to a flight cancellation and she made it so much less stressful. Dogs are happy and well cared for. I would definitely book again.”


“We were so lucky to have Whitney & Kevin watch our two dogs- a playful puppy and our older, more mellow dog for a full week. They welcomed them into their home and took such great care of them, giving each exactly what they needed—plenty of playtime for the pup and comfort and calm for our senior dog. They sent regular updates and photos, which made us feel completely at ease. We picked up two happy, healthy, and clearly well-loved dogs. We couldn’t recommend them more!”


“Jenny is super easy to communicate with and flexible! She’s very friendly and I felt my dog was very safe with her. We actually needed to cancel our booking so Daisy only spent a few hours with her but she had already sent us a photo! I will definitely be booking with Jenny in the future.”


“Cassandra was amazing with my Sophia who is an older dog with a few senior issues. We were kept in the loop every day on how she was adjusting to her new sitter ( including pictures) and that made me feel confident we made a great choice. I would hope Cassandra will agree to watch Sophia again when she needs boarding. Anne”


About: I have taken care of animals since I was a kid, having many pets growing up. I have volunteered in the animal care center at Greenburgh nature center where I got to care for a variety of reptiles and mammals. I have dog sat many family friends dogs, and also walked dogs for families I've babysat. Most recently, I worked at the Hudson Valley Humane Society Shelter where I mostly worked with farm animals and dogs, and is where I met and adopted my sweet boy named Suka. I currently am working in Ithaca 6:30-3:00pm and have the afternoons available I would be able to work in the Ithaca area or surrounding all the way to Truxton (where I currently live). Come this September I will have Wednesdays and Weekends completely available. I live on 5 acres, with plenty of room to play. I will always keep your pet on a leash or make sure there surrounding area is gated in so no one escapes. Having a husky, I am well versed on being prepared for escape artists.

“Steve did a great job with Tot. He sent photos and videos of her while he was watching her, which made me smile. Would definitely recommend him to watch and care for your fur babies.”


“This is the 2nd time Briana has has our dog while we went away on vacation too far to take him. She sends updates and plenty of pictures. He comes home happy and tired from playing. Definitely would recommend her to watch your dog!”

“I needed a dogsitter at short notice around the holidays and Sean was very accommodating. My dog has a couple of behavioral issues (terrier type) that I discussed during the meet and greet and Sean was very confident and felt experienced enough to handle him. He welcomed my dog into his household including two elementary age children. Fellow was very happy and comfortable, and appreciative of the large fenced yard. I would not hesitate to use Sean again and I highly recommend him.”


About: I’ve cared for animals my entire life, from cats & dogs to fluffy chinchillas! I have special experience working with powerful breeds, including retired and aspiring K9s, as well as senior & special needs pets. My home comes equipped with accessiblity tools like pet stairs & ramps suitable for even larger dogs. Our quarter acre is unfenced, but we do have a small enclosed area off the porch & several long leads to enjoy more of the grassy lawn. Safety is paramount. I’m comfortable giving medication, following specialized diets, & assisting with mobility issues. I’m an experienced pet parent who just said goodbye to my 17 year old rescue pitbull; I’d like to open my now-too-quiet home to your beloved family members. 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️ friendly ❤️ I’m a professional writer who works exclusively from home. My flexible schedule allows me to cater to any specific needs, take all the potty breaks, and ensure both enriching play & restorative snuggles. And treats, of course! I have a fenced potty area off my porch for easy quick breaks, and several long leads for exploring the unfenced portions of the property. My senior dog recently passed away but she left soft beds in every room, jars of treats, and a big basket of toys I know she’d love to share.

Chenango Lake dog parents share their Rover experiences
Gil was AMAZING with Molly and Sirius! they are both a handful but he took such good care of them over the holiday and set our minds at ease. Sirius can be skittish around men but Gil was so patient and calm that Sirius warmed up very fast. He took them on 3 long walks, followed their schedule for feeding and pills, and kept us updated with cute photos and messages! We will definitely use him again in the future if we get the chances

Gilbert was fantastic with Chance. I received at least daily pictures and updates on how Chance was doing. Gilbert also dropped in to take care of my cat while we were away and did a wonderful job with him too. I appreciate everything Gilbert did and would not hesitate to hire him again. He is the BEST! Thank you Gilbert…. Until next time! 😁😁

"Uncle Gil" was absolutely amazing with our two babies. They got a vacation while we had our own. He made the process easy and was thorough with their care/needs. Im a nervous Nelly about leaving my dogs with anyone and this was the first time I wasn't concerned about their safety. Thanks Gil! Well be booking again in the future!
