“Alex took such great care of my dog! He provided plenty of updates, including photos and messages, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. My dog came home happy, well-exercised, and clearly well-loved.”



“Took great care of my dog while out of town for a week. She has some separation anxiety and scratched a little sore on the top of her head but the communication was excellent and they cleaned her up and took necessary precautions so it didn’t get any worse. They also continue to socialize her with different dogs which we love! Came back happy as always! Definitely a safe and happy place for your dogs to stay.”


“Viviane did an amazing job watching our dogs for a week while we were in Maine. She kept us updated with pictures and messages, and we could tell the dogs were happy and well cared for. We came home to relaxed, loved pups! We’ll definitely book with her again!”


“This was the best Rover experience for me! Susan made sure my dog is safe and feels comfortable. My dog easily gets nervous with strangers, but she got used to the new environment faster than normal. I felt like Susan is really good with handling dogs too because she has great amount of experience with dogs. I really appreciate her updates, photos, and all the accommodations she has made for us. Thank you!!😊”



“Jessica and Eric are wonderful hosts for our dogs. We have been lucky enough to have used their hospitality twice now and our dogs love being with them. They get plenty of exercise, attention and love from their family. Our oldest dog doesn’t come home with the anxiety she gets while being at a dog kennel which is great. We will continue to use Jessica for our dog boarding needs and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a loving home for their pets.”


“My dog had the absolute best time staying with Ashley. I think she thought that she was at Disney Land for dogs. She came home exhausted. Communication with Ashely was top notch. If I posed a question it was answered immediately. While we were away we got updates and pictures, as promised. When we had an unexpected and unavoidable change in travels plans altering our return time, Ashely made sure our dog was taken care of. I would absolutely use them again for future pet sitter needs.”


“Hanna and Ian provided an actual Small Dog Sanctuary! It’s a beautiful safe environment for small dogs to play and chill and just be happy! I received lots of pictures and updates to let me know that Leroy Brown was so well cared for. That kind of peace of mind is priceless! I would 100% recommend Hanna and I will definitely be using again!”


“Anthony is a great choice for your furry friends while away! He was flexible and accommodating with my request of meeting at his house before watching my dogs. I received photo updates and felt comfortable with my dogs being in Anthony’s care. His sweet pup added to the fun and beautiful property provided plenty of space for romping around. I will be using Anthony again!”



“I have left a review before but i can’t say enough good things about this couple! They are so flexible with pickup and drop off times which is a huge plus for us, work with the pups while they are there, play time and walks! Keep up the great work!”

“She is THE BEST! Kept our 2 dogs for 10 days and every other day sent us 15+ pics of them! They always seem to have a lot of fun and get tons of playtime in! Will be using her for all future bookings!!”


“Ray has taken Oona while I’ve been away twice and both times was great with communication and sending pictures. He was flexible and thoughtful. I’m so happy I’ve found someone I so dependable who I can trust to care for my little girl.”


“Andrea was a perfect sitter! She sent a picture of my dog and updated me daily to let me know he was okay. I felt comfortable and safe with my pup in her home. The experience was easy! Would book again.”


About: Currently a master student at Cornell with many years of pet caring experience. I can handle different types of pets such as dogs, cats, hamsters, fish, turtles, bunnies, guinea pigs etc. I am an outdoor buddy who loves hiking so walking and playing with dogs is my daily pleasure! I volunteered at a local animal shelter before and adopted my dog from shelter as well. My dog is not with me during school, so I can’t say no to a good companionship! Thanks for your trust. Master student from Cornell who doesn’t have a heavy class work. I prefer to spend my time with animal friends. Limiting the number of dogs I can take care of is also a sign of showing responsibility to them. I offer dog-walking, daycare, boarding services. If you don’t mind, I will send photos/videos while they are staying with me. My community has a large grass area near my place within 1 minutes and it’s a quiet neighborhood. Also a cool trail near my apartment unit. It's the perfect place to host your pets!

“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!”


“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.”

“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!”

Maggie L.
“I’m happy to recommend my friend Maggie for pet giver position. She’s amazing with animals and genuinely loves them. Maggie has a dog of her own, Pepsi, whom she has cared for over the past three years. When Maggie first adopted her, Pepsi was shy girl and tend to be nervous around people that she is mot familiar with. But now, thanks to all the love and care Maggie’s given her, Pepsi has turned into the sweetest, most friendly little angel and warms up to strangers quickly. Maggie’s also looked after my dog, Buddy, a few times, and they hit it off immediately. Buddy felt totally comfortable with her when they first meet, even when i am not around. If you’re looking for someone kind, patient, responsible and love animal with all her heart to look after your pet, Maggie’s the one!”
