House Sitting in Ithaca

“Jenna was amazing! Her communication was excellent-fast and clear. She sent updates and photos all weekend, and came exactly when we had arranged for her to come. I would absolutely hire her again, and recommend her to anyone. She is clearly knowledgeable and comfortable, and warm and caring with dogs.”

“Claudia was great! I was very comfortable having her in my home taking care of my fur family. I have 3 dogs and 1 cat, and they all loved her. She was very communicative and send pictures each day which was very much appreciated. I would highly recommend her for house/pet sitting.”

“Daniel watched our 3-yr old dog while we were away, and he did a fantastic job. He was great at communicating leading up to our vacation (confirming details) and sent us detailed daily updates while we were away! I felt really confident that our dog was well cared for! We will definitely ask Daniel to watch our dog again.”

“Caroline did a great job house sitting and watching my dogs while I was out of town. She was prompt and super helpful in all of her communication while I was away. I can tell she has had a lot of experience with dogs as they all warmed right up to her. Highly recommended!”

“Sarah was absolutely amazing! Went above and beyond and honestly one of the best sitters I’ve ever had. Hands down. My babies loved her, she kept in contact and sent me photos of them. I couldn’t be happier!!!”

About: I've personally had dogs, cats and fish in my life almost my whole life. I love animals and am teaching my kids the same love. Some would even say our Luna is a bit spoiled, but hey they are part of the family! I work remote so stopping by at any time works out just fine for me. Weekends I am not available will be taken off our calendar so anything on the calendar is potentially up for grabs on weekends. I am a firm believer in training and love. We don't have an issue with pups on the couch, nor issue with crate training. Each person has there own way of life and my goal is to respect that and provide safety and care for each persons fur-baby. As I would expect anyone to do for my fur-baby!

“My wife and I were told about ROVER by a coworker and used Rachel for the first use of ROVER! I can not say enough about this experience! Very prompt and caring for Falcon our 4 year old goldendoodle and watching over our home while we were out! Lots of communication with us on how he was and pictures were sent on each day we were gone! This is an amazing service that I will with out a doubt use again and my first go to will be Rachel!”

“Our pets (dog, cat and fish) were very well taken care of by Chris while we were away for over a week. Chris asked lots of detailed questions, sent regular updates, and even got to pet our very shy kitty, who is terrified of strangers. Everyone was very happy and healthy upon our return. We will definitely book with Chris 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!

“Julianna was a wonderful sitter for our gal, Millie. She was prompt, able to handle my bully breed, and communicative. I would certainly recommend her.”

“Graeme took care of our Ezra and our home while we had to travel. He was thoughtful, caring, super-responsive, flexible and thorough. We could tell Ezra enjoyed his time with Graeme. We will work with Graeme again and can't recommend him highly enough.”

“Victoria did a fantastic job taking care of my Aussie. She was very responsive and gave me great updates. Highly recommend.”

About: *Please ask about any dates! I work full time, but many evenings are free for drop-ins or a walk/play time!* I have taken care of animals beginning with my parents' help when I was 8 years old. I helped care for neighbors and friends' pets while on vacation and often volunteered to exercise my furry friends or grab a canine snuggle after school. I have helped assist in the training process for puppies and given medications to all ages of dogs. I love all breeds and have experience will many sized dogs. Most notable breeds - Yorkshire Terrier, Dachshund, Pomeranian, Schnauzer, Beagle, Bulldog, various Poodle mixes, Labrador, Golden Retriever, Australian Shepherd, Dalmatian, Boxer, Norwegian Elkhound, Greyhound, Pit Bull, Rottweiler, German Shepherd, Newfoundland, Great Dane, Mastiff and many mix breed love bugs. I have experience caring for all kinds of cats, from social and friendly to shy and sassy. I have had several fancy bear hamsters of my own and would love to help with your favorite rodent or hedgehog. I grew up caring for fresh and brackish water fish and understand the basic care of water and amphibian critters. There are very few animals that I would not consider caring for so please ask if you have a seemingly "unusual pet". I am happy to learn about your animal, how to best love them, and care for all their needs while you are away! I am currently working full time, but have a fluctuating schedule. Please ask if you have an extended stay and your furry friend can be left alone at night. I am happy to play with and walk your companion or sit and provide extra pets as needed. I will always be respectful of your wishes and promise to keep your home and your animal(s)' safety as my top priority.

“Simply put, Claudia was an amazing cat sitter for us. She kept us well updated, responded quickly, sent many photos, and really got to know our four cats' personalities and quirks! Our babies have never been so happy with a sitter. They enjoyed Claudia's company and were grateful for the attention she gave them. We have never seen them befriend someone so quickly! We will absolutely hire Claudia again. Traveling was made easier knowing that the cats were in such good hands.”

“Linnea did an overnight stay at our house and took care of our two dogs. She was great with our dogs, attentive to various details of their care, and very organized and responsive. We enjoyed her text updates and photos of our dogs relaxing at home. I would highly recommend Linnea!”

About: I am happy to take care of both dogs and cats! I have lived and cared for cats my whole adult life and I have professional experience working in a doggy day care which has prepared me to deal with dogs of all different personalities! I am available for morning, evening, and midday walks! I also work remotely several days a week and am happy to provide in-home care and walks during those days. I treat others pets as I do my own and know because I have professional training in pet care that I am able to provide a safe environment for them!

“Cristian went above and beyond while house-sitting and taking care of my 65 lb pitbull while I was out of town. He was very professional, kind, and communicative, taking great care of my dog and sending me regular updates and photos. I highly recommend Cris for anyone looking for a dog-sitter— he is wonderful!”

“Rachel was thorough and detail oriented from the minute we met her, which was important to us as our dog has Megaesophagus and significant special needs. She kept our house clean and Ozzie seemed very happy upon our return. She did a great job communicating with us on as needed basis and was responsive to our texts.”

Fern B.

“Wenting was wonderful! Very thoughtful in planning and communicating. Did a wonderful job sending us photos and updates. Our cat was very happy when we returned. Would hire again!”

Katrina R.

“We really appreciated how Sara took care of Biscuit - she was communicative in coordinating before and during the stay, sent cute pics and seemed to get our pup's personality right away. Very thoughtful and reliable!”
