“Daisy had a great walk with Bailey! Bailey was extremely easy to communicate with. She arrived on time and took Daisy out for longer than I had booked her for. I will absolutely have Bailey walk Daisy again.”
About: I have grown up around dogs, specifically seniors who are on medication or are insulin dependant. I have experience with training as well, having trained my own service dog who went to college with me. I also have raised rabbits and guinea pigs for around 8 years and have shown them acrossed the country. At the moment I'm on break from college, I have a lot of avaliable time. I'm willing to work with you and make sure your pet gets all the attention they deserve! My own dog and I go for several walks a day and we play a in the lake. I have a long haired GSD so he gets groomed daily and loves to sleep in his bed! I plan to provide similar enrichment for your animals such as mind games on rainy days and lots of walks when it's nice outside.
About: I love all kinds of pets. You will be confident in knowing when you leave your pet with me. They will be loved and happy. I currently work hybrid during the day with a very flexible schedule. I can come home at any time to feed or let your pet out. I have a large wide open yard. We live on a dead end road. I currently have a small toy Shih Tzu. She’s just over 15 years old, but loves to play with other animals.
About: Hi, I'm Chris. I work in the gig economy and have taken care of a few dogs and cats in town and am looking for more clients. I can water plants, feed fishes and check the mail. I like to draw and can draw your pet if you want too. I have enjoyed taking care of pets when I travel far away and would be happy to look after your pets here or wherever. I have one client in town and one out of town. I work a flexible schedule so can accommodate both of them and many more. I would like to do less driving work and work more with rover, as it just wears the car out. I also sell drawings sometimes when inspired. At this time, I'm not currently having pets stay at my house. Maybe in the future I will host animals. I don't have the right space yet.
About: I have always had a dog. I start training them from puppy hood and love them until they are gray. Humans truly don't deserve dogs. I'm currently working part-time with an extremely flexible schedule, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I like to be able to have dinner with my partner and her teenagers, but I have availability during the day and at night. I have a puppy, Gnocchi, who is 6 months old, very socialized and loves other dogs of all sizes. We both have lots of energy for play. If your dog is crate trained, I will be happy to crate them for meal times or nap times if you prefer. If I come to your home, I will ask for your instructions and follow them to a T. If I come to your home for a drop-in, a walk or house sitting, Gnocchi can either join me or stay at home. This will be up to you.
About: I had a yellow labrador retriever for 15 years (Sadly she passed away recently). I’ve taken care of her my whole life, from when she was a puppy to when she was a senior dog at the end of her journey. I am comfortable with dogs of all breeds and sizes, and I have experience with senior dogs, like my own! I treat pets like family and give them the utmost care and love. I will treat your dog like my own and shower them with love and affection. I’m currently a college student with lots of free time! I’m in my final year and have a reduced workload, and want to find a way to be more active in my lifestyle. I do all of the necessary things to take care of your pet and keep it healthy. I will treat your pet like my own, with the very best care and love. I can crate your dog, follow a feeding/bathroom schedule, and am flexible and can stick to any routines you may have.
About: I have been lucky enough to spend time with dogs of a range of ages, sizes, and personalities, from energetic puppies to sweet senior pups who need a slower pace and a gentle touch. I’m comfortable with a wide range of needs, just let me know! I take time to build trust, especially with shy or anxious dogs, and I always move at their pace. I also pay close attention to behavior and body language, so I can respond quickly if something seem off. But most importantly, I make sure that they're safe and happy, while waiting for their favorite person to come back to them. Caring for the fluffy angels is something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize in my daily life. My schedule is flexible and I can work from home, which means I can dedicate quality time to walks, play, feeding, and companionship without rushing. Whether I'm welcoming pets into my home or caring for them in their own space, I always focus on creating a calm, safe, and loving environment. I live in a quiet apartment surrounded by forest and green space, with very little car traffic in the neighborhood, which is perfect for peaceful walks and outdoor sniff time. At my place, I maintain a clean and cozy space with plenty of room for your doggie or kitty to lounge, play, or nap. In your home, I'll respect the privacy and cleaness of your space. I will follow your care instructions closely, from feeding routines to medication schedules and favorite toys, because I know how important familiarity and consistency is to their happiness.
About: I have taken care of animals of all kinds from a very young age. All sizes and breeds of dogs and cats as well as numerous livestock. Including horses, goats, sheep, alpacas, pigs, chickens, ducks, and numerous reptiles. Ample experience with senior and special needs pets as well. Happy to discuss any and all pet care needs! I have a very flexible daily work schedule and can easily accommodate your specific needs. I'm happy to take on clients last minute, schedule permitting. I unfortunately do not offer care for pets in my home. I will do drop ins, walks, and in the home over night visitations only
About: Hi! My name is Coleman, I am 24, a life long animal lover, and Cornell student researching moral psychology! I have been doing part time pet sitting, dog walking, and cat caretaking for 8 years and I am really excited to bring my services to Ithaca! My schedule is extremely flexible! From early morning walks to long weekend (or more!) long house stays, I can make most any schedule work for my clients! I treat the animals I watch with care, considerations, and importantly with plenty of affection. But I also recognize every animal is unique and requires an individual approach, so I strive to interact with any pets, new or old, familiar or not, big or small, with the care they deserve!
About: I’ve loved dogs my whole life and have loved being a Rover sitter for the last few years. I will make sure your furry friend is well taken care of and tired out when you get home! Our sweet black lab/border collie is a perfect playmate for other friendly dogs and would love to have some company! I am available 7 days a week for any service you might need! Since I work from home, I can be flexible to the needs of your pup. I have a big back yard and a very friendly black lab/border collie that loves to run and play. I work from home so can be around for full time supervision while your dog is in my care. I make sure to feed dogs separately and carefully supervise all play time
“Kyle helped us out with some extra walking while mama is away for work. He was communicative, punctual, friendly, and good with our pup. We'll be checking back with him next time we need a hand with Zephy!”
About: I'm the kind of person that would have a hundred dogs to take care of if I could! All of them would be rescues. I would love to help you take care of your animals while you're at work or away. I am a Hands-On, play with the dogs , make sure they get love and affection , walks and proper care. It would be a pure pleasure to be able to help you be confident that your animal is taken care of while you're away at work. I must admit I suffer from a little bit of empty nest syndrome as my youngest child graduated and went off and is now doing her own thing, it makes me purely happy to scratch a dog behind their ears and have them be just delighted.
About: I have hands-on experience with animals, caring for my family dog by bathing, playing, and loving her, and taking care of my cat by feeding him twice daily, cleaning his teeth, and ensuring regular vet check-ins. With a flexible schedule, working only three times a week, I have ample free time to dedicate to additional responsibilities. This will allow me to spend my time catering to your pets needs. To take care of pets in the home, I prioritize their daily needs and well-being. I ensure they are fed on a consistent schedule, provide fresh water, and maintain a clean living environment. I dedicate time to grooming, such as brushing fur and cleaning teeth, and I stay attentive to their health with regular vet visits and monitoring for any changes in behavior. I also engage them with play, exercise, and affection to keep them happy and stimulated.
About: Hello everyone! My name is Annette and I have taken care of pets for my family, friends and myself most of my life, many of which include: dogs, cats, fish, birds(indoor and outdoor), hamsters, rabbits, reptiles and various farm animals. Throughout those years I have fostered many dog rescues, ranging from 5lbs-115lbs, from puppies to elderly dogs. As someone who has raised puppies from the beginning to old, I have experience in training, administering medication, working with anxiety and variety of temperaments. Just know that your pets will be tailored with care! About me: After 22 yrs in the film industry I am currently a stay-at-home mom. Although my husband is from upstate NY and we have visited every year for almost 15yrs, my family just recently moved here and we are loving this new adventure. I am currently a stay-at-home mom to an elementary school kid, when means I’m available to provide dog walks, drop-ins and house sit with open flexibility during the day, as well as some nights. I can also water your plants(they’re pets too!)and check your mail as well! We own our own home with a couple acres and small creek, but currently not accepting Dog Day Care or boarding at the moment. But we’re open to the possibility-just send us a message and we’ll happily chat about it. No fence, but plenty of space for your fur babies to explore happily leashed! There is also a park to explore near by. No other pets or traffic to bother with while on our property. Let’s connect—I’d love to meet your furry friend and provide them with the best care possible! Since I am currently a stay-at-home mom, my schedule is a bit flexible! I am only booking up to 2 months in advance. Right now my schedule is open Monday-Friday. I have weekends blocked, but I am open for discussion. Just message me so we can possibly work it out details! I am currently open to walks, visits and house sitting . I am currently not doing overnight house sitting, but as my schedule is open right now, I am open for discussion on a case-by-case basis. And I may possibly be open to day care and boarding in the future,but again on a case by case basis…just send me chat and we can discuss future possibilities! PLEASE READ BEFORE BOOKING I try to provide pets with the routine that is given to me. Depending on your unique pet, I will tailor our time differently. That being said, whatever the needs of your pet are I will make every effort to make sure your pet is relaxed and comfortable whenever you’re away. ****Important note about day care & boarding(when it’s available): I do have a young elementary kid. They absolutely love animals and would be an energetic and lovable addition to your pet when they home. That being said, if your dog isn’t kid-friendly please consider any of the other options available. However, I am also open to discussing a kennel as-needed options depending on the situation.****

Allia P.
“Although not through Rover, our family has had great experience with Allia caring for our dog Radar. She has been absolutely responsible, prioritizing our family's needs in caring for both Radar, our home, and our way of life with pets. When she has been entrusted with Radar, we have had pure peace of mind while we were away, sometimes for extended periods. On the one hand, she keeps clear boundaries and asserts those to her entrusted pets. On the other hand, Radar is a very large rescue and is not always an easy puppy. He has underlying fear since his puppy days and is not quick to warm up to strangers. But to Allia, who exudes care and gentleness, he warmed up quickly and knew that there was no threat. These days, when he sees her, his tail wags uncontrollably and looks for hugs and play. I would recommend Allia to anyone seeking a responsible and engaging guardian for their pup in their absence!”
Yuting D.
“I was out of town for a week and needed someone reliable to walk my Akita (Thunder). Yuting was an amazing dog walker! I love Thunder but to be honest he is a badass who loves to jump when he sees people or other dogs he doesn't like. Yuting handled him with great care and professionalism. She took extra precautions to ensure Thunder's (and others) safety and comfort. She is clearly experienced with handling large, energetic dogs. The other dog walker we worked with before didn't walk Thunder enough so during that time he was always irritable at home. Yuting also sent me regular updates like photos and messages. I was able to enjoy my trip knowing Thunder was in good hands. I would recommend Yuting for anyone needing a trustworthy and skilled dog walker!”
Marisa C.
“We can't say enough about how wonderful Marisa is! It was abundantly clear she genuinely loves animals. She provided regular updates with adorable photos, making sure our two girls were getting plenty of exercise, cuddles, and attention, along with our outdoor flock. She has even been a major asset to our outdoor landscaping , providing pruning for our fruit trees, and maintenance of our extensive vegetable and native gardens. Her plant knowledge is out of this world. We came home to two happy and relaxed dogs and a completely clean house! We absolutely recommend her highly to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.”
