House Sitting in Elba

“Joey was wonderful. He met with us the day before for a Greet & Meet. He arrived promptly on both days and was very experienced & well-prepared to take care of our Senior. Joey was very detailed about Rufus's care plan and asked lots of good questions. He sent plenty of beautiful photos and updates during the day. Joey was able to use positive reinforcement (treats and positive praise) to wean him off his belly band. This was incredibly helpful as we have been able to continue without it.”

“I can’t begin to share how reliable and helpful Alicia was. This was a last minute house sitting for our pup and she was so helpful and kind. She’s walked her often and sent us pictures and even helped us take our trash out while we were out even though she didn’t have to. She’s a true gem and we cannot recommend her enough!”

“Great with our dog! He’s a 90 lbs husky/malamute who gets daily medication and a special diet. Kelly was excellent with him! She was great with the medication instructions and feeding, took him on long daily walks, and was very caring towards him! I would 100% book with Kelly again”

“Jack and Emily took very good care of Riley. They spoiled her and made her comfortable as it took her a day or two to adjust to her new surroundings. Jack was good about sending pictures and updates. He even sent her home with a special treat. Thank you for watching her for us!”

“Janet was amazing! All of my pets interacted well with her and she kept me updated on how they were doing while I was away. I highly recommend Janet and will definitely use her again for care of my pets!”

“This was our first time using Rover.com and we were skeptical however Kayligh was amazing. Our dog and cat loved her and when we got back we couldn’t even tell she had been there. The house was how we left it. We will definitely be booking again. She also stayed an extra hour which was really nice, walked the dog, cuddled and played with our dog and sent us pictures. She also got back to us really quickly when we had questions which made us feel like she cared.”

Megan B.

“She took wonderful care of our pets and our home!”

“Sarah was absolutely AMAZING. We received picture updates every day! Our boy fell in love with her and enjoyed her company so much he almost didn't want her to leave! Will definitely book with her again in the future”

About: From the first moments I could remember, I have always been around and caring for dogs and cats. I'm also a professional equine bodyworker, with medical experience that is easily translated over to our smaller, 4-legged friends. I take a gentle and intuitive approach with animals, focusing on positive reinforcement. I will care for your pets as if they were my own. I have plenty of flexibility in my schedule. If staying at your home, I will never be gone for more than 8 hrs at a time. Weekends are usually no issue to schedule around either While staying at your home, I stick to the routine you have developed with your pets to make it as stress-free as possible. I recognize the importance of structure with dogs and cats, and losing that while their humans are away can be a big stressor. I will do my best to act as an extension of you while you are away to ensure the most personalized care.

About: [Free pickup/drop-off for first booking!] Rover is my part-time service to provide local owners great boarding pet care. I do have over 5 years of experience sitting for family, college friends, and neighbor’s pets and love helping pet parents feel at ease about their pet sitting needs. I have two rooms to separate my very gentle cat Pumpkin from your pet until they get used to each other. I'd love to spoil your fur baby with lots of love and am happy to accommodate them! I am always a text message away and I pride myself in taking those extra steps in being organized and respectful of any instructions you provide to ensure your pet(s) will be happy! I work from home and rarely leave for over an hour at a time. I usually start my day at 4:45 AM and am happy to space feeding and playtime schedules according to your usual routines. I have a separate room to care for your pet privately should you prefer. Otherwise they will have access to the entire home with food, toys, and companionship at all times during their stay just like my 3 year old gentle and friendly cat Pumpkin.

About: Hi there! I’m Laney, a recent graduate who works full time, mostly remote, which means I can spend the day with your pets, giving them company, playtime, and care while you’re away. I have experience with a variety of animals, including dogs from playful puppies to senior pups who may need medications, as well as cats, guinea pigs, and chickens. I’m more than happy to accommodate to meet your pet’s needs. If you have any questions or would like to discuss how I can help, please don’t hesitate to get in touch! Looking forward to meeting you and your pets! 😊 I work full time, primarily remote, which means I can stay with pets throughout the day to give them company, playtime, and care. With few commitments outside of my 9–5, I have the flexibility to adjust my schedule as needed. When I receive bookings, I structure my day around the needs of the pets and their owners, ensuring each animal gets the attention and care they deserve. I carefully follow any specific instructions to maintain the pets’ routines, whether it’s feeding, walking, or playtime. I’m very communicative and happy to share updates and pictures while you’re away, so you can feel assured that your pets are well cared for!! I also make sure the home stays tidy, leaving everything as I found it.😊

“Melissa and her husband made time to accommodate my dogs needs and kept our plants alive.”

About: I understand that the worst part of your day is leaving your dog. I absolutely love dogs and will guarantee that your dog will feel safe and happy at home when he/she is with me. I am the one amongst all of my friends that watch their dogs or simply take them out for a hike because they don’t have the time or energy. I have watched dogs from malamutes to Yorkies, and I’m a very active person that loved to exercise my late dog (as of March this year) with hikes to get his energy out! However, if a walk is all he needs or lots of attention at home I am happy to do that. I am a physical therapist and have just completed my canine rehab certification to work with animals and have also recently lost my Aussie of 10 years but not ready to have another, missing my dog interactions! I’m currently working PRN around western NY- I definitely have availability at nights for the long walks they may need and daytime hours are variable according to my work schedule, just ask ! I have availability to a fenced in yard, my apartment would require stairs however. I take frequent walks and can accommodate to your dogs schedule.

About: I’ve been working in the veterinary field for 6 years and have had tons of hand in training in emergency care as well! I work with large and small animals and can also groom your pets as well! My schedule is very flexible and and I can accommodate to any needs! I just need at least a weeks notice, which would be much appreciated! I have had years of training and hands on experience caring for pets in all matters of their health and wellness and would be able to give your pets the best care!

“Our dog seemed content when we returned but not overly anxious about us being back. Our dog sitter kept Diesel happy and content while we were gone. House was in good shape. Overall pleased with her assistance. Would recommend her to others.”

About: Hi there! I'm Becca. I love animals and grew up living and helping on my family’s beef cattle farm. I have cared for a large variety of pets and farm animals since I was young. My clients typically own cats and/or dogs, but I have also cared for clients’ horses, donkeys, alpacas, goats, chickens, aquarium pets, fish (etc.). I currently still live on the family farm, and personally own a horse and four sheep. I also help care for the family dog and cats. I have 10+ years of in-home pet sitting experience. I offer in-home pet care and house sitting with overnight stays and would love to care for your pet(s) while you’re away! I work on the farm and freelancing jobs so I can usually create my own work schedule aside from a few times where it’s dependent on others’ schedules. With that being said, I am accommodating as possible around my own work schedule. I could leave from your home and return after work. Some days I won’t have work at all. If this schedule works for you and your pet(s), I look forward to working with you! I understand that every pet has their own unique care. Each animal’s specific routine is important. I will learn their likes and dislikes and what works best for your pet(s)!

“Ronnie was quick to respond, easy to communicate with and loved on our pups while we were away. We are super grateful for her time with and attention to our fur family. We would definitely recommend her to anyone in need of help with their pets!!”

About: I am wild about dogs, all breeds. I often think if I could go back, I might have gone to school to be a veterinarian. I grew up with dobermans, cats, riding horses and much more. I have found that most animals love me. I just lost my Golden Retriever, Nalu, after 14 amazing years. Something to be said in that she had more Facebook friends & photos than I do. I just moved down here a year ago from South Glastonbury and most of my new neighbors in Deep River have asked me to watch their animals at one time or another without any sort of solicitation so I believe that is a testament to my character and integrity. Any other questions you might have, I would be happy to answer.
