House Sitting in Cortland

“Elizabeth took great care of our pets while we were away. We have an anxious dog who we were leaving alone for the first time, and Elizabeth was very patient with him and accommodating. She also gave our cats some much needed attention! Thanks!”

“Chris took good care of Coco, following our directions and’s her routine. He also left the house in good order. Coco was well and happy when we returned. What more could we ask for?!”

“Genel did a great job. She sent photos each day so we could keep in touch with what was going on and communicated everything she was doing. Would we use her again and highly recommend. Thank you Genel!”

“Kylie did an amazing job! It was our first time leaving our pup and we were worried about how she would do. Kylie sent us photos and videos everyday. We told Kylie she could bring her own dog because Selkie loves other dogs. After a few days, it was apparent that Selkie had made a new friend and was having a great time. We were worried she would be depressed when we came home! Selkie went on walks and played and got great care. Our house was perfect when we got home. Kylie went above and beyond to make sure our animals got everything they needed, even took in some plants for me when there was a frost warning. We will definitely be calling Kylie again when we need a house sitter.”

“Anastasia was so flexible. We needed to leave much earlier than expected and she showed up early at a moment’s notice. As always, our dogs love her. Thanks.”

“Cristian has looked after Charlie twice and it’s been a great experience. Cris is a clear communicator, sends lots of photos, Charlie adores him. Cris has helped us out with a sort of last minute request. Highly recommend and hope to have Cris help us out in the future”

“Jess was amazing! She house sat for both our dogs while we were on our honeymoon. She was respectful of our home, loved our babies, and kept us up to date. We will definitely use again.”

About: I have had 3 puppies in the past 3 years and one elderly, sickly dog that I help take care of, and watch a family friend's dogs, by walking and feeding them whenever they need me to as they take multiple trips throughout the year. Very flexible as watching pets is something I do on a daily basis with all 8 of my dogs requiring attention. My schedule also fits the needs of future clients and what special needs they may insist on. I would go directly to my clients home's in order to keep their dogs in a safe and comfortable environment to walk, feed and watch them as needed.

“Meriam and her daughter were incredible sitters for our two pups! Meriam agreed to sit over the holidays at our home which was a life saver and then she went above and beyond to make sure they were taken excellent care of! Our pups are pretty high maintenance with medical needs and quirks and I was beyond thrilled with the level of care and service that was provided for them. In every picture that was sent the pups looked happy and healthy :) She was extremely professional and communicated through messages and pictures of the boys often. My husband and I had such peace of mind knowing Meriam was there taking care of our home and pups just like we would have been! She worked around our holiday schedule and was super flexible to make sure the boys had everything they needed. Not only that but when we got home it looked immaculate!! We couldn't have asked for a better Rover experience with Meriam and will absolutely be reaching out again for our next trip away!”

“Ashley is really great with dogs! She knows how to interact with them and give them lots of love! She kept me updated throughout the whole sitting.”

“Dave is a super caring guy with a passion for his furry friends. I would definitely trust him to watch both of my furbabies (one elderly cat, one 88lb Pibble). He is typically responsible and timely and is reliable when you absolutely need someone to be there.”

“Chantal did a wonderful job watching Luna while I was away! She was very responsive, provided me plenty of updates, and left my apartment in great condition. I would definitely recommend her!!”

About: I have always loved animals. I started with a beagle when I was a child, then got a jack russel, and now I have two pugs. I took care of both the jack Russell and both pugs from when they were just puppies. I can feed, bathe, and walk all types of dogs! I am a college student. Since my classes are split up throughout the day, I have a lot of time on my hands. I love animals, so this is the perfect work for me. I will follow the pet parents rules when it comes to their home. Whether that means feeding times, outdoor times, or if they are allowed on the furniture or not.

“Naomi is absolutely amazing with my Junie, she’s always so attentive and always gives me updates. As someone who has anxiety leaving my dog I feel so comfortable knowing Naomi is watching her.”

“Bobbi Jo was AMAZING. We needed a sitter last minute for our two dogs during our wedding - we wanted them to be there, but didn’t want to leave them alone when we were getting ready, dancing, etc. When she arrived I immediately felt comfortable leaving the pups with her, so I could focus on everything else. She came midday Saturday and stayed until after our wedding; she was comfortable hanging out with us while we got ready, and just making sure the dogs were taken care of. She walked them around the grounds and kept them within arms reach, if necessary, throughout the reception. And then fed them and watched TV with them as it got dark. Her presence allowed us to really enjoy our day! We’re so thankful.”

“I've known Kevin for many many yrs and have always known him to have a special place in his soul and heart for ALL animals! In the past he has watched my dog and has gone out of his way to help. Kevin is very affectionate and attentive to not only his own pets but everyone else's too. I would not hesitate again to ask for his expertise in watching my best friend, Marvel who was born deaf. I give Kevin a 5⭐ rating!”
