“Alex was amazing! Initially, I was a bit nervous about dropping off my 8 month old pup, Blue, just because I wasn't entirely sure how he would do in a new environment without me and other dogs present. Blue settled in super fast and had the best day! Alex was reassuring and sent updates throughout the day with pictures and videos that were so appreciated. Blue was in awesome hands and I'm so grateful he had fun with new friends, lots of space to run around, and an awesome caregiver in Alex and his family. Blue can't wait to return and I feel so grateful to have a trusted and safe home for my pup when we need to be apart. Thank you, Alex!”


“Super sweet family with the space, time, and love to share! My pups were happy and tired when I picked them up after daycare. Thanks so much!!!”


“She took such good care of my dog, who also seemed to have a lot of fun with the other dogs. There was a minor scrape on her paw, but she used first aid and I felt that she handled it as good as I would have. I was wondering why I didn't get a call about it, but my cell sometimes drops calls.”


“Claudia is so sweet with my dog Sheldon! He loves getting to spend the day with her when I have long workdays. She sends so many photos and videos of their day together! I feel so happy knowing I have someone as sweet as her to leave him with!”


“Our miniature poodle came home happy and exercised from his fun day with Hanna and her pups. We enjoyed the pics Hanna sent us too and would definitely book with Hanna again.”


“We came to Ithaca to attend my son’s college graduation and didn’t want to leave our little dog alone. Ashley was very quick to respond to our inquiry. She and her family (including a cute cavalier King Charles) are so sweet. Our little pup Lily had a great time under their care. Ashley sent us the most adorable pictures of Lily and her young son. I would love to send Lily back to her if we come back to Ithaca.”


“Kathy and Tim are such nice people and we felt so comfortable leaving our dog there! They have a huge fenced in yard, and took good care of our pup.”


“Henry really enjoyed his time with Kelly! Kelly is an amazing sitter. She sent such great pictures of him having various adventures. I felt assured he was in good hands and enjoying every minute of his stay with her. I would highly recommend her and will definitely reach out when in the area again! So happy to have found her on here. :)”



“Janet was great, has a perfect setup and my princess had a fabulous time. I got daily updates with a picture and it was so reassuring to know she was being taken care of so well. I’m not sure she wanted to come home after having a week of playtime with her dogs. Thanks so much!”


About: I have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, including my own 5-year-old Maltese. I've also walked and looked after neighbors' and friends' dogs, ensuring they get plenty of exercise, attention, and love. Whether your pup needs a fun walk, belly rubs, or extra patience, I treat every dog like family! As a student, I have a flexible schedule with time between classes and free weekends, making it easy for me to fit pet care into my day. I also love walking around town, so taking dogs on fun, energetic walks is something I truly enjoy. I always prioritize their comfort and safety, following any special instructions to make them feel at home. Whether it’s a long walk, extra belly rubs, or a little patience with a shy pup!


“Jess & Matt are conveniently located, really love dogs, and did a great job caring for my little guy. I will continue using them on a regular basis to doggy sit. Highly recommend!”

“Amanda was great! Winter was crazy and happy as usual when I picked her up from daycare with Amanda so it looked like she had a good time there and was a tired girl on the way home.”


About: I have been around animals and have helped care for them since I was around 10 years old. I grew up with cats and now as an adult I have three dogs. In my free time I volunteer with a local rescue, and I have fostered through the rescue or on my own taken in, vetted, then found homes for over two dozen animals combined. I was raised with so much love and empathy for all animals that I care for them as if they were my pets. I had a rover account a few years ago, but I deleted my account when I decided to legally change my name. So while I have experience being a sitter on rover, I unfortunately have no way to show my previous reviews. It would be my honor to care for your pets in whatever form needed, whether it’s boarding, drop in, walks, or daycare. Don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions! My rates are to account for rover fees. I also require a meet and greet for any dogs that would be in my home to make sure they’d get along with my dogs. We can discuss rates further during meet and greets if you’d like. I am a stay at home dad with my 5 year old child that I homeschool, so I am available all the time. I do have occasional appointments or events, but none of it takes up much of my time. It is very easy for me to be home and tending to animals whenever needed. I have a small fenced area for bathroom breaks, but the rest of my property (half an acre) is not fenced in. My own dogs are allowed off leash because they are trained, but for safety I would not allow rover dogs off leash in the non fenced portion of the yard. At this time I will only board dogs who are fully crate trained, for the purpose of over nights + if I am away from the house. I was lenient with that last time I had rover and damage was done to my house, so crate training is a must for the property aspect, but also for the safety of all animals in the house, myself, and my child. All of my dogs are crate trained for overnight and whenever no one is home.

“Jade was absolutely amazing watching my dog Murphy at her home. He’s an anxious pup with separation anxiety. She arranged a meet-and-greet with her pups and communicated well throughout the process. She was flexible with drop-off and pick-up and sent me updates to ease my mind throughout the night. I would absolutely use Jade again and cannot recommend her more highly. Thanks for a lovely night off!”

About: I did the animal science program at boces for 2 years where I got to get hands on experience with all kinds of animals such as dogs, lizards, honey bees, Guinea pigs, snake, alpacas, rats, and more. Due to taking the animal science program I am certified as a veterinary assistant. I also have 2 cats of my own that I’ve had and taken care of since I was 11 and my sister has 2 cats also one that I’ve helped taken care of since I was 10 and the other for the 3 years we’ve had her. I also have a rat that I’ve had for 3 years. Because I can’t really put this anywhere else for boarding services I can only do up to 3 overnight stays. It fits into my schedule for the summer because of college break because I won’t have school at all and I’ll be able to give a majority of my time to your pets. Be up front and open. Follow and respect the animals and if you go to the home respect and follow the rules. I don’t have a fenced in yard.

About: I have loved and worked with animals for as long as I can remember. I have always had pets in my house until now and would love to be able to help someone out while also spending time with their best furry friend(s). I love walking and being outside just as much as I love animals so your pets will definitely get the exercise that they need while still being carefully cared for and loved of course. As far as experience goes, I have always had at least one dog and cat in my home for the full 22 Years I have been alive. I have volunteered and worked on farms and in other animal care facilities with various animals and pets. I have watched others pets in their homes as well as mine numerous times and am always looking for new opportunities to meet and get to know more pets. I am currently unemployed besides doing care for Rover so my schedule is pretty much open. I love animals and caring for them as well as making sure they're happy. I like to make sure the environment I'm in, is at the very least, comfortable for everyone. I am highly animal friendly and love all types of animals.

About: I’ve been a pet owner for more than 15 years, having adopted, trained and loved both dogs and cats. Particularly well equipped for energetic dogs as I’ve mostly owned Australian shepherds. We live on a beautiful farm with lots of room to run and pets of our own who always welcome new friends. I’m also available to visit your fur family throughout the day for play dates, walks or just to say hello. I also have experience with birds, small mammals and smaller farm animals, being a trained wildlife biologist with experience working with many domestic species. I’m also fairly flexible with scheduling. I work remotely and have tremendous flexibility in my schedule to be home for the majority of the work day or to step out for walks and play dates for up to 2 hours at a time. For care in my home: I do not have a fenced in yard so any pets that visit my home would need to either be able to be off leash, or comfortable being leashed. I have room to accommodate a crate for those that need or prefer one, otherwise pets would have full access to the lower level of the house. I have one very friendly dog, Pete, and two cats who are also friendly with dogs. In your home: I’m able to work with whatever your pets preferences and needs require. I’m comfortable with most any situation, and have seen it all when it comes to pets.

17. Star U.
“I boarded my two ESAs with Star when I went on a week long trip. They're very affectionate and are bonded animals so I was hesitant about leaving them. They were able to board in one suite together, a big plus for me in terms of both costs and the pair of them benefiting from each others' company. Star was very attentive to my explanation of their food and routine and even sent a couple photos and a video while they were there to reassure me they were doing well. I would definitely use this service to board my cats again and would recommend to anyone looking for competent and caring supervision for their pets while they're away.”
