House Sitting in Ithaca

“Rachel was so awesome with all the pets! They really loved her at the very first meeting prior to the house sitting appointment. She was very responsive, was able to accommodate a last minute change in our plans, and sent daily updates and photos of the pets. Truly appreciated her excellent care of our variety of pets with unique care needs.”

“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!”

“This was my first time having Sierra watch my dog and cat in our home and she was excellent! She sent daily updates of the pets and took care of the house with no issues at all. Sierra is trustworthy and responsible and I came home to a clean house and happy pets :)”

“Graeme is amazing! He spent the week entertaining my bratty hounds and needy cats. They loved him and didn’t miss us one bit. We will hire him anytime!”

“Dec. 2024 . Jenna is our neighbor down the street, who we had corresponded with for 1.5-years about mis-delivered packages and meals, as well as coming over to our yard to collect plant specimens poisonous to domestic pets for one of her Veterinarian School classes, before it occurred to me to also ask if she’d like to cat sit for us for 12-days (this was before I started using Rover, which now I won’t need to ever use unless Jenna is not available!) I cannot imagine a better cat sitter. Jenna is communicative, responsive, affectionate; and she is in training to care for pets as a career. We feel soooooo lucky to leave our cats in her care. She sent us photos of them every day, and she spent time cuddling with them too, besides feeding, water, litter box cleaning, playing with wand toy, giving treats, brushing. She sent us a photo of both our 10-yo cats cuddled up on top of her and I can tell from the photos and videos how much they loved her as a caregiver. She also vacuumed our floors for us before we came home, without us even asking her to, and needless to say the house clean when we got home. We will absolutely keep her as our #1 choice in future when we are out of town, and highly recommend her. We are so grateful for her in our lives now since moving to Ithaca 1.5-years ago.”

“Shakti is amazing with my adored but (and!) difficult puppy! They train as a matter of course, so my puppy is LESS difficult when I return to her. And I always know that my dog is in good hands. I trust Shakti completely.”

“Serena is the sweetest! Very communicative and we got lots of great pictures and videos of our little guys. She took great care of both our pets and our home. Your pets are in good hands with her!”

“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.”

“Jonah did a great job housesitting my boys! They were flexible when the weather shifted my plans, and I came back to some happy dogs. I enjoyed picture updates and communication while I was away and my home was left clean for my return. Very happy with Jonah's care and would book again!”

“We were super impressed with the professionalism of Daniela. She walked and ran with our dog, provided fun text updates, and it's clear she loves animals. We highly, highly recommend Daniela!”

“I highly recommend Juilieanna she is patient and takes fanatic care of my pup. She sends me videos and photos throughout the day with status updates and I appreciate the kindness and great care she gives my dog!”

“Thank you for being so communicative and good with our pets while you were house sitting! Thanks also for leaving the house in great shape for when we came back!”

“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!”

“Thank you for looking after my cats this weekend!”

“Julia was great, reliable, punctual, and respectful. She did a great job managing our dog's medications and reporting back with frequent updates.”

“Gabby was wonderful! Communicative, prompt, and responsible. She sent me lots of pics and updates so I was very reassured. She really seemed to enjoy spending time with my cat which made the whole experience pleasant . I will definitely try to book her again.”

“Alex was an excellent dog/house sitter. We rec’d a daily pic of Lulu and we returned to a happy pup and our home was just as we left if. She was willing to do 2 “meet and greets” so that both my husband and I could meet her.”

“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!”
