“Alex's set up was perfect for Oreo with lots of land to run around and play in and cozy spots to rest and chill. He only takes a few dogs at a time and they all seem to get lots of love and play. He was flexible when we had a sudden change to our schedule and we really appreciated that! Would definitely recommend his care for your pup.”
“They did a great job taking care of my pup! He normally takes a while to warm up to strangers and gets stressed easily, but I could tell they made him very comfortable and he had lots of fun during his stay. He’s not the easiest dog to sit since he has medications and has certain behaviors in new environments, but they handled everything like pros and I got lots of updates throughout the day. They truly care about your pup and I could not have asked for better people to trust my dog with!”
“Darlene, Chris and their 2.5 yr old pup, Roxanne, where amazing hosts! Their set-up gave my pup a fantastic vacation of her own, while I was away on mine.”
“As always, our dogs had a fantastic time with Robert and Eileen and their dogs! It’s really nice that when we have to go out of town our dogs get a vacation too!”
“Hanna took care of my dog at her house for two and a half weeks and did a great job! My pup generally doesn't like other dogs, but Hanna had her comfortable around her own two dogs very quickly. Hanna sent photos of my dog snoozing comfortably and enjoying a a happy petting session. Will definitely book with Hanna again!”
“Jessica always takes such good care of our furry son and consistently keeps me updated on how he’s doing. I honestly couldn’t recommend a better dog sitter!”
“Charlie came back happy and healthy! Susan kept us well updated without needing to prompt, which was much appreciated while we were tied up on vacation it was nice to see he was being well cared for.”
“Destiny is amazing! She sends regular updates and our pup always comes home happy & tired. She has watched our dog several times, and we always have a great experience. Would highly recommend!”
“Sheila was wonderful. Very helpful and quick to respond back to me. I booked an overnight with her to see if my dog and her would be a good match for a vacation planned out of the country, before we actually left. Lil bear did better with her then he has in the past, with other sitters. I am lucky to have found her and look forward to working with her in the future.”
“Andrea took great care of my lil pup on her first overnights without me. She was communicative, has a fenced in yard, a great dog walking neighborhood and I would love to have Rox stay with her for future trips.”
“Monica was amazing with our dog! He came home happy, healthy, and was clearly well taken care of. He also had a great time with their dog. I will most definitely use her services again!”
“Opie had a great stay and I look forward to booking in the future. He really benefitted from having the fenced in yard to play in (and plenty of other dogs around) and came home as relaxed as I've ever seen him. Aaron is very knowledgeable about what he does and provides a safe, fun environment for the dogs. He's also generous - Opie chewed through his food bag during his stay and Aaron offered to pay for a replacement.”
“Rachel is so sweet with our dog! He stayed with her for a week when we were out of town, and Rachel sent us lots of photos and kept us updated on how he was doing. He definitely had a great time with her - we’ll book with Rachel again in the future!”
About: A loving indoor environment, hands-on care in a country setting with fresh air available and plenty of space. I am home all day except for quick errands I have raised and trained Brittany spaniels, Golden retrievers, and Siberian huskies. An accomplished trainer, devoted to animals, I am retired, a former farmer living in a quiet, relaxed home. I have ample time for walks, playtime, and rest. The yard is cleaned daily. I am long-time dog owner and trainer (and cat owner) who can handle any breed or any sized dog, small, medium, large, or bigger, offering long walks with ample room for exercise and play ...
“Laura was a huge help this past weekend while we were visiting the Ithaca area, agreeing to watch our pup, Beau, somewhat last minute after our original pet sitter fell through. She took Beau on a hike and sent great pictures, which really made us feel at ease. When we came to pick him up he seemed very content and like he had had a great time. Thank you, Laura!”
About: I have raised and lovingly cared for 3 dogs in the last 20 years. Your pet will feel like they are at home when you're away.. I am a local teacher with my summer off. I have two dogs and children but they travel between two houses. While your pet stays with me it would be just them and myself, they would get my full attention! My yard is set up for games of catch or just exploring new smells. I have a fenced in backyard and an already established dog friendly home. I love walking around my neighborhood and to the park. I am able to drive to your home if needed to feed, let out or walk your pet.
“Super grateful I found Ray to dog-sit for Maya! I really did feel like she was on doggy-vacation with all the activities they did. My dog is very active so I am really glad to find someone who will keep up with her energy and take her on lots of fun hikes and swims. Wouldn’t hesitate to book again!”
“Riya is the best. Barkley felt instantly comfortable with her and her pup, Archie. She was so kind to help us on short notice. She took great care of Barkley, sent photos, and gave us the perfect amount of communication. Highly recommend her and will definitely connect with her again!”
“Claudia was absolutely amazing with Oliver!! We can tell from all the photos she sent, he had a great time. So many activities, walks, exploring, and making new friends. Can’t wait for the next time!”
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.

Yuting D.
“Yuting has cared for my two cats when I go out of town. One of my cats is very needy, and she always plays and pets him. The other cat is judgmental and feisty, and Yuting respects this cat's boundaries. She follows my instructions, from when and how much to feed my cats, as well as watering any plants. Additionally, she has put some medication on the pet food as well. Yuting also notifies me if she notices if one of my cats is not eating or any other unusual behavior.”
Etna dog parents share their Rover experiences
Laura took excellent care of my dogs on a last minute request for overnight care. She sent fun photos of the boys playing and on walks. She even brushed some of the winter fluff off of them. The boys had a great time. 💕
I’ve boarded my dog with Dawn several times, and will continue to board him there. Dawn is flexible with last minute bookings and drop off / pick up times. I had surgery and needed someone to care for my dog immediately, Dawn accepted right away, communicated with me everyday, sent pictures and videos and even sent my pup home with a toy that he liked at her house. It gave me peace of mind to know that he was well cared for while I was recovering.
