“Gabby took care of our 14 year old chihuahua, Bella, in our home for a week while we were on vacation. She did an amazing job- great communication, very reliable and Bella loved her. Highly recommend!”
“We have two VERY different dogs. One is elderly, does not get around well anymore, and can be a bit stand-offish. The other is young, large, energetic, and can be protective and anxious, especially at first. John was very accommodating and patient when first meeting Abby and Archie in a meet-and-greet, as well as when he came to spend the day with them. By the end of the day, he and both dogs seemed to have bonded well. John was respectful of our home, listened carefully to all of our instructions and suggestions, and followed through well with all of them. We would definitely call on John again!”
“Logan was so good with our pets. He was there to take care of our dogs. We had someone else to take care of our cats since they don’t need a lot of attention. He even took care of them too. He sent pictures every day and all our animals seemed to love him. We will definitely be using him again as long as he is still available.”
“Taryn was great with my two pups. I had to leave town on a few days notice and she had no problem with that. My dogs really seemed to like her. She was great with communication and kept me updated the whole time. I would recommend her to anyone and will be using her again in the future!”
“Dana is extremely reliable! We recently moved out of town and she was still willing to occasionally come out and watch our boys. It means a lot to us to have a consistent sitter for the dogs when we are away!”

About: Highly skilled and experienced dog sitter with a proven track record of delivering exceptional care for dogs of all breeds and sizes. My expertise includes managing daily routines, from feeding and exercise to administering medications and handling special needs. I excel in maintaining a structured environment that promotes safety, comfort, and happiness for dogs while their owners are away. Known for my reliable and attentive approach, I have a strong ability to build trust with both pets and their owners. My dedication to ensuring each dog's well-being and providing personalized care sets me apart as a top-notch dog sitter. I’m available everyday of the week. Currently living with 3 cats and love them to death. It’s a hobby of mine to take care animals I provide exceptional pet care both in my home and at clients' homes, tailored to meet each pet's unique needs. In my home, I ensure a safe and stimulating environment with dedicated spaces for play, rest, and exercise, adhering to each pet’s routine and dietary requirements. At clients’ homes, I maintain their established routines, respecting their space and following detailed instructions to provide consistent care. My approach includes attentive feeding, regular exercise, and timely medication administration. I prioritize clear communication with pet owners to ensure peace of mind and address any specific needs or concerns.
About: I have cared for my own dog for the past 13 years and sadly he died in February 2025. I walked him around my neighborhood consistently for all those years and now having that routine gone is difficult. Before having him as my own, I also helped take care of my families dog for several years. I am experienced in caring for dogs of all ages and demeanors and all sizes too :) I am attending SUNY Cortland right now and that is the only large barrier in my weekly schedule. I can care and/or walk dogs after 7pm on Monday and Wednesdays. I am available after 4pm on Tuesday and Thursday. Friday and Saturday I can provide care all day with a days notice. Without notice I will most likely be working on Friday and therefore not available until after 4pm that day. I can house-sit on Fridays and Saturdays and into Sunday afternoon as well! I will maintain a safe and calm environment for your pet while caring for them and allow them to initiate any desired games or actions. I am willing to accommodate however you prefer for your dog when caring for them, just let me know of anything necessary :) Any questions or concerns for your dog's care are welcomed and appreciated as I prefer a heads up in advance of anything unusual or to keep an eye out/for. Thanks :)
“Talitha completely exceeded my expectations. She is responsive, caring and treated our pets like her own. Even my very slow to warm up rescue pup loved her. Rates are very restorable as well especially since she lives 30-35 minutes away. 10 stars are deserved 🙂”
About: I’ve had pets my entire life! Being a dog owner a few times in the past has given me a lot of experience with providing the best care. It’s all about patience, being able to read their own needs, and knowing what toys and treats work best! I also have pets with special needs at home so I am skilled in administering medications orally, topically, and via subcutaneous injections. I’m clean, polite, professional, and respect boundaries of both my 2 and 4-legged clients. I have a pretty flexible schedule because I am self-employed. Generally I run my own business on weekends and every other Tuesday through the summer and fall. Weekdays and evenings are fairly wide open to spend time with furry friends. I am used to following a routine in my own home for my pets which includes timed feedings, regular medications, and cleaning of litter boxes. I also have someone in my home to take over my schedule if I were to take on a pet sitting job. In a client’s home I can easily adapt to their pet’s routine and maintain a calm presence so there is minimal stress.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs all my life. Today I have a happy 11 year old Pomeranian mix. I grew up with black labs. I love to play fetch and hike with dogs whenever I can. I have a nice, safe yard for play time. I also live near a great dog park. I have taken care of dogs of all ages and make sure I understand their energy level and needs. I currently work from home and have flexible hours all week. I will have work meetings for a few hours a day. Looking forward to helping with your pup! I love to play fetch in the yard or walk dogs to the park if one is close. I am a responsible and will make sure your dog feels safe on our walks.
About: I’ve cared for a multitude of dogs and cats and other critters including my own families, and family friends since I was 10 :)) I would LOVE to watch over other fury friends and offer your pets relaxation and comfort while you do the same! I currently work part time at a local mini mart, and part time from home as a writer, i keep a tight schedule with work and that includes pet care priorities I have a safe, decently spacious, private and comforting apartment in a duplex home with acres of land surrounding the properties, so the pets boarding here have lots of room to play, and relax :))
About: I’ve had pets ever since I can remember. We have never had less than 3 dogs. Right now I have 6 at home all ranging in size and age. I also work in a store that is very pet friendly and animal oriented so I’m constantly around animals. I have a pretty set full time job. But I have spare time that would allow me to care for others animals almost any day of the week. I have a very pet friendly home along with other dogs for them to play with. They are very friendly and respond well with other dogs. I have a few acres of land that I take the dogs out to play at. I also have a kennel if you are more comfortable with your pet using this outdoors.
About: Your dogs will leave happier than they came in! I will take them out side to play with our millions and millions of toys (that’s what it seems like at least) we can go on walks down the street. I will make sure the other dogs play nice. There is always fresh water available for the lil guys. I have grown up with dogs and love spending time with dogs and I’m excited to play with yours!! My favorite breeds are golden retrievers, labs, beagles and huskies! All of your dogs will go home feeling younger because I call every dog a puppy no matter how old they may be. They are all cute to me and good boys may get some treats. I can’t wait to meet your puppies! I work in an office setting with regular hours Mon-Fri! I am not a smoking household. Unsure why my profile states that but I’m unable to remove it. I will keep your dogs company while you are unable to. I will take them for walks and toss the ball to play fetch. I will follow your directions on tips to keep them safe in your home and outside! I also enjoy hanging out with your cats if they come out to say hello
About: Ive taken care of my families dogs for the last 15 years and always made sure they were well cared for. Friends also entrusted me with the care of their animals knowing that I am no stranger to difficult animals and messy situations. I have also been a volunteer at local animal shelters and know how to handle larger and more difficult to walk animals. I have a senior dog now so I also understand the care that goes into helping animals who are struggling I have a dog in my home who has a torn ACL. He has difficulty with stairs and walks so I ice his leg daily and carry him up the stairs. I make sure also to feed him his medication and ensure he is always comfortable given his aches and pains. While I cannot do boarding, within other homes, I will walk and play with animals constantly. I love interacting with pets and find joy in spending time doing what animals love, whether it be snuggled up on the floor, playing tug of war or going on long walks. Any dietary needs or medical care animals require I am well equipped and prepared for all the above
About: Along with being a certified veterinary assistant and working in the field, I, myself have been taking care of my own animals for nearly a decade! Including but not limited to, fostering dogs of all ages and breed, and rescuing pretty much every cat I come across (We're at four and counting!). I have trained experience in administering medication and senior pet care. It's important to me, as a fellow pet parent, that your furry friend is in great hands in my care, giving you peace of mind while you're away. Currently, I am relocating to East Ridge, TN all the way from New York! While in the process of looking for a full-time position, I've decided to join Rover, which means my availability is wide open! Don't fret, I plan to still offer my services even after finding something long-term. My services will be strictly offered in my client's home, as my animals do better without the presence of other animals. If provided with detailed instructions on what works best for you and your pet, I will be sure to follow them to the letter.
