“AMAZING!! Jenna is so patient with Pillow and takes such good care about my little guy. He has very bad anxiety and she is so kind and good to my guy. I highly recommend Jenna she is the BEST!”


“Our dogs (even our timid rescue) adored Sarah and she was super communicative throughout her stay. She took them on an hour long walk each day and stayed with them in the house for extended timeframes throughout the day so that they had access to the yard and plenty of belly rubs. Highly recommend working with Sarah!”


“Caroline was wonderful to work with. She was a huge help when we were in a bind for dog care on somewhat last minute notice. She was responsive via messaging on Rover and flexible with her schedule and availability. She is super kind and our dog was instantly comfortable with her. We appreciated her care and attention looking after our pup and staying at our house. We will absolutely use her again in the future and would recommend her to anyone!”


“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.”


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!”


“Chris did a great job with Bingo! He was responsible. He kept us informed about how Bingo was doing over the five days, showing us pictures of Bingo. He walked Bingo in various places in Ithaca. Chris kept the house neat. He just did everything right.”


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.

“Graeme was awesome! Bubba was well cared for, our house was clean when he left. His communication was excellent and we felt very comfortable leaving our dog and house in his care. We will definitely be using him again!”


“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!”


“Our second time with Wenting , and no surprises! She did an amazing job caring for our little one☺️ She always goes the extra mile - our pup is very fussy and not-so-easy with medication, but Wenting took care of her ear medication despite! She cleaned up the house so well and maintained excellent hygiene throughout house-sitting. We had a very hectic schedule, and she was flexible no matter what. Recommending her the second time too! Do book for her top notch services ☺️”


“Did a great job house-sitting our pups, and rolled with a chaotic returning-to-home situation to help us out with our three month old. Our pups have never seemed so content after a 3 day absence!”


“So wonderful, nice and communicative. Our cat beans is super loving and needy. I’m 100% sure she’s been in good hands which made our short trip more enjoyable and relaxing. Will definitely use Cassie again ☺️❤️”


“Claudia is our go-to dog and house sitter. We have two tricky Great Pyrenees and she does an amazing job with them. The house is cleaner when we get home than when we leave :-)”


“Rachel was the best cat sitter we could have hoped for. She communicated constantly, sent pictures, answered our questions, and remained attentive throughout her stay in our home. Our cats, who are normally very shy of strangers, quickly warmed up to her with snuggles - a very unprecedented thing! Feeling that sense of trust and security for our animals made our trip that much more enjoyable, knowing we did not have to worry at all about how our cats were doing. We cannot recommend her enough!”



“This is our second time having Patricia help us out with Charlie. We have huge peace of mind knowing he is well cared for while we are away. Patricia’s updates and knowledge about dogs are truly appreciated. We look forward to having Patricia help us again with Charlie”


“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.”


“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!”
