“Ashley and her family took wonderful care of our dog Lady when I was visiting Ithaca for a long weekend. She sent daily doggy updates and lots of cute pics of Lady with her dog Wally and her son. Highly recommend Ashley and her family to care for your dog…just wish they lived closer to me! I will definitely bring Lady back to her family if I return to Ithaca in the future”

“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!”

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 ...
“another great stay with Destiny! My dog get excited when they see where we are headed. Destiny is very easy to work with and professional. Love the pics of the pups too! Thanks again Susan Ava & Johnny”
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.

“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: 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.
“Riya was amazing! Took time to get to know my dog and let us both feel comfortable with her, her space and her dog. Sent photos and I was confident during my time away that my dog was well cared for and was having fun. Highly recommended!”

“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.”

Forest Home dog parents share their Rover experiences
Rachel was so incredible with our pup! Even after just the first meeting, our dog excitedly ran to greet Rachel and was perfectly happy when left her alone with Rachel for the first time. During our time away, my husband and I were consistently reassured by the steady stream of updates and pics Rachel sent our way. It seemed like her and our puppy girl were having a blast all weekend (so much so that we nearly felt bad separating them by the end)!
Riya was an amazing sitter to Maisie during a long weekend stay at her house. She took Maisie on outings, took her to a park and out for walks, and gave her lots of love and attention. We looked forward to receiving daily photos and videos from Riya. She is an excellent communicator and was very responsive when we had questions or needed to contact her. We will be using Riya again when we need a dog sitter, and we *highly recommend* her if you need one, too.
We had an amazing experience with our Rover pet sitter! They were incredibly attentive, providing daily pictures and status updates, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. They handled any issues that arose with care and professionalism, always reaching out for advice when needed to ensure our two pups were comfortable. It was clear that they genuinely cared about our dogs' well-being. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet sitter!
