About: I have experience with small animals, exotics, farm and domesticated pets. My passion for caring for animals came after my soul dog passed away from aggressive cancer. This led me to honor his memory through work at my local humane society. I have cared for kittens and puppies through senior and hospice. I am able to dedicate myself to your pets needs physically, emotionally and medically. From playtime to cuddles and resting to education for your pet I’m here to do it all. I love caring for all pets, along with helping keep them stimulated physically, mentally and happy! I am a fear free certified animal care giver and enrichment specialist. I left shelter work recently to have more flexibility for my own pets and family. I love addressing behavior concerns including barrier reactivity, animal and people reactivity, fear aggression and any other concerning behaviors. My partners work gives me the flexibility to be a stay at home pet parent and travel when we are able. I have most days free for daily and/or weekly care. I am also available to travel if your pet is needing care while traveling with you. I have experience in caring and calming animals from everyday stressors to longer induced traumas. I use techniques to lower fear, anxiety and stress. I also give some very good kitty and doggy massages. Safety, mental and physical wellbeing is my priority. I want your pet to feel loved and secure as if they were my own. Working in an animal shelter for 3 years gave me the experience to see and understand so many different animals and behaviors. I’m committed to your pets success. Lgtbq+ friendly care for everyone and every pet.
About: I've had pets and have done animal husbandry all my life. I have two medium sized dogs who get along great with others. Large fenced yard is loved by all. My husband and I are retired and home all day most days. We have a regular exercise routine that includes the dogs, walking, playing ball, biking on my recumbent, swimming, etc. We have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs to keep your fur babies company. We also have comfortable extra rooms when a dog needs alone time. Max is my Australian Sheperd and he loves to play and gets along wonderfully with others. Hope is a part Aussie and getting old. She often likes to go be by herself.
“Misti is absolutely amazing!! She has been taking him for regular walks for about a month and she always takes such good care of him. It is so nice to not have to worry about my dog when I’m gone! I absolutely recommend!!”

Whether you’re out of town and need multi-day care or simply need care during the workday, your pet will have a custom enrichment plan put into place to ensure they live their best life while in my care. Dogs must be up to date on vaccines and current on pest prevention. To ensure optimal care for overnight stays, only one family is booked at a time.

About: I have a high drive working German Shepherds, and husky. I have always been full of energy and taking care of crackhead dogs give me a lot of patience, so puppies and active dogs are my favorite and specialty! And I've been bitten and scratched enough times, it almost tickles... Almost During hot months my dogs are given all attention in the evening/at night and during cold months my dogs are given all attention in the afternoon so there is a period of time where I can help take care of yours outside of pet care and work! I will make sure to follow strict instructions and be very attentive and watchful of your pup! My own dogs schedule consist of playing, walking, training, cuddling, feeding and potty every 4-6 hours! And I would love to treat your pet with the same amount of needs whenever you feel you can't! No dog left behind!
“Justine has been doing a fantastic job with my dog, Daphne. I can tell by the pictures and short interactions I've seen with them that she and Daphne built a bond very quickly which is a testament to Justine's care and experience. I look forward to our continued bookings!”
About: Owner of a Siberian husky for over a decade. Have trained her since she was a puppy. She is now a senior and requires minimal walks compared to when she was young. She gets along with cats really well and is around farm animals frequently. Working 40 hours a week while managing pet care is essential, I am able to work around my schedule as fit for the animal's needs. Please inform me if any needs are requested to make sure everything, like fresh water, is taken care of. I offer care at the clients home, which I have experience in. I am usually in the same room as my pets, so I will often be in the same area with your pet while they are under supervision. Please inform me at least a day in advance for booking.
“We are SO happy we found Christina! Her service is amazing and meets my dog's physical, mental and social needs. We've been looking for someone who does off-leash adventures and are beyond excited about continuing to book with Christina. She is clearly knowledgable, responsable, and loves dogs. My dog comes home from her adventures happy, tired, and ready to relax for the rest of the day. Highly recommend you reach out to Christina!”
About: I have experience with all sorts of animals. I have worked with dogs and cats and most other household pets including snakes and birds. I have also worked with horses and most livestock farm animals. I make a daily roster of animals to care for and schedule my time accordingly. I care for my animals first always and help my community with animal care needs. I have a large fenced yard with room to run. I have 2 female dogs that are well trained and managed. The smaller mutt is elderly (11) and has a room of her own where she will put herself as needed. My big girl Sally, the Bernese is friendly to all animals large or small and really the very best calm neutral dog I have ever known.
About: I recently moved back in to the area from California. We are still getting our bearings off the city and finding new places to play and explore As a disabled veteran and single mom, i am home most of the time, outside of some time at the gym or taking my 3 year old to the park. She loves animals, is quite gentle, and is never just left with animals alone. She tends to be helpful in filling Lola's bowl with water and food and tossing a treat to show some love. If kids are not okay, I am child free Saturday through Sunday afternoons, for those times when you need to be doggy free. Fresh water is provided inside and out on the deck to bask, as well as a constant eye when not out for a walk. I tend to avoid dog parks with other people's pets under my watch, I'd prefer to maintain a safe and predictable environment.
About: I’ve looked after my Golden retriever, Sarah, for years till she died and then we got a Shih-Tzu and a chihuahua mix, Remy and Layla. So I can take care of any dog big or small I’m currently a DoorDasher and so anytime 8-5 during the work week will work. My weekends alternate so make an appointment a week in advance please! Thank you! I love being with dogs and so as long as I’m with your dog I will ensure they have enough food/water, play and bathroom time. I also perform Reiki, a form of energy healing on pets.
About: I have extensive experience working with anxious dogs and understand the patience, and gentle approach they require. As both a veterinary professional and the owner of an anxious dog, I am skilled at building trust to help nervous pets feel safe and comfortable in my care. Senior dogs are another area where I have significant experience! I understand the importance of maintaining medication schedules and am comfortable administering a variety of medications. My background in veterinary medicine has given me the knowledge and confidence to care for pets with unique medical and behavioral needs. Whether your dog is anxious, highly energetic, affectionate, independent, or a little bit stubborn, I want to providing care that meets their individual needs while ensuring they feel secure, comfortable, and well cared for. Thursday through Sunday, I have full availability and can provide attentive care throughout the day. I also send regular photo updates and messages so you can feel confident that your pet is happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Monday through Wednesday, I work 12-hour shifts. During those days, I am available for overnight stays and can complete potty breaks and daily care before work (around 6:00 AM), during my lunch break (approximately 12:00–1:00 PM), and after work (around 8:00 PM). water is always available and refreshed regularly. I am highly accustomed to following structured feeding and medication schedules. You can trust that your pet's meals and medications will be given on time following your instructions! I enjoy providing plenty of affection and attention to pets who seek it. Whether your dog loves to be out playing fetch or prefers a little more relaxing, I adjust my care to their individual personality and comfort level. Communication is a priority for me. I typically provide photo and text updates every 1–2 hours so you can stay updated on your pet while you're away. If you prefer fewer updates, I am happy to accommodate your preferences.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Elmira. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Elmira.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every walker on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
