“Really great sitter . Really great with my dogs. Patient and nice. My dogs obviously had a good time. Hope he's around next time I go out of town. Thanks so much!”
“Darlene is an amazing sitter. My dog had a great time with her. He was well taken care of and I received all necessary updates needed. He returned home very happy and content.”
“Ashley was absolutely amazing! She and her husband, Brian, took such good care of our girl. She got so much attention and was always so happy. We got daily elaborated updates with plenty of pictures. They listened to all our concerns and treated her like one of their dogs. They were so considerate and made the separation so much easier for us. We had a medical emergency and had to delay our return and without skipping a bit they agreed to take care for a few more days and even went above and beyond and got her the food that she needs. We returned to find her so happy and healthy and we will definitely leave her with them again!”
“We'll definitely be returning to Destiny for our puppy sitting needs. She was extremely communicative and sent daily updates including numerous pictures, which not only were adorable but also gave us confidence to not worry about our little guy. Our pup was very happy after we picked him up and we didn't notice any kind of regression in puppy behavior (which we were worried about due to his being 7 months old). We highly recommend Destiny. You're fur baby will be in great hands!”
“Anthony is a great choice for your furry friends while away! He was flexible and accommodating with my request of meeting at his house before watching my dogs. I received photo updates and felt comfortable with my dogs being in Anthony’s care. His sweet pup added to the fun and beautiful property provided plenty of space for romping around. I will be using Anthony again!”
“Steve and Patty have been boarding our dog Chase for a couple of years now. Chase knows the way to Steve's and shows excitement when we pull up to the house. He wags his tail excitedly at the prospect of seeing Steve and his two dogs and readily goes into Steve's house without any hesitation at all. (This wasn't the case with a previous boarder we used.) I always leave Chase with Steve knowing that Chase is in great hands, and will be well cared for while we are gone. Steve has a nice fenced in backyard where the dogs can mingle and play. He is very experienced in handling dogs, obviously enjoys dogs, and we are delighted with our experience with him.”
“This was the best Rover experience for me! Susan made sure my dog is safe and feels comfortable. My dog easily gets nervous with strangers, but she got used to the new environment faster than normal. I felt like Susan is really good with handling dogs too because she has great amount of experience with dogs. I really appreciate her updates, photos, and all the accommodations she has made for us. Thank you!!😊”
“Couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for Chloe. She was responsive, upbeat and very capable. We received lots of photos of our pup looking very happy. She loved playing with Alex the dog and Jessica treated her like one of their family. It was a wonderful experience for us and our 7 month old puppy.”
“Monica was amazing with our dog! He came home happy, healthy, and was clearly well taken care of. He also had a great time with their dog. I will most definitely use her services again!”
“Dora now has a GRANDMA! Her name is Charlene & Mistress Dora LOVES her! (Dora likes Rick as well) She had do much fun playing at Charlene's! Grandma Charlene takes care of her pups as if they were her own. She also sends daily pics, upon request. When I couldn't drop Dora off, Charlen & Rick popped right over to collect Dora & ALL her stuff. They both followed my written instructions which ensured Dora had a safe & loving stay.”
“Amazing boarding experience. Robert and Eileen took excellent care of our dogs. They have a large fenced in yard where the dogs can run around off leash and have a great time. Highly recommend their services.”
“I have left my babies with Mary several times. She gives excellent care to them. We have booked her again for sept and this time we will.leave the reg 2 as well as our rescue lab.”
“Ray has taken Oona while I’ve been away twice and both times was great with communication and sending pictures. He was flexible and thoughtful. I’m so happy I’ve found someone I so dependable who I can trust to care for my little girl.”
About: I have been caring for our furry friends for as long as I can remember. Since I was a teenager, I would watch 2 Yorkies for a family friend where they would stay with me in my family's home and receive plenty of cuddles, play and outdoor time for potty breaks. From that point on, I have watched dogs for family and friends within their homes or in my home for years. Whatever special requirements your pup may have, I can meet their needs and ensure they receive extra pampering and cuddles for the time they are away from you. I have cared for puppies in the process of being crate trained, potty trained and wee wee pad trained. I have also cared for senior dogs who need daily medications administered, have challenges with arthritis or losing sight. Whatever stage your fur baby is in, I can care for them at that stage. I know how important it is to know that your furry family member is being cared for and loved just as much you would is a great relief. Knowing your fur baby will be in the most loving and capable hands allows you to go about your daily routines or go on vacations with your mind at ease. I am currently staying at home and have availability most days and weekends. I have 1 dog at home who gets along very well with all dogs, big and small alike. I have a spacious home with plenty of space for dogs to curl up and cuddle or soak in some sun warmth. Additionally, I have a fenced in yard for getting out and getting the zoomies out when needed. Multiple walks a day 2-3x (depending on day care, or if boarding more, and individual dog's needs) to the nearby park.
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!
“Lorinda was simply amazing! She came to pick up Nova on time and consistently sent Nova's photos and videos. She is very passionate and patient with puppies as well. Having her service was a great experience for me, and I will definitely trust her again on my next trip to care for my baby.”
“I would highly recommend them for any of the services they offer. Lil bear has “separation anxiety” and traveling on a airplane is too much for him to handle. Aaron and Kaylee really work hard to introduce your animal to theirs, and others they maybe watching. I did a couple daycare weeks there before I had him stay. Lil bear always seemed willing and excited to go there each morning. He made friends with the other day there. He always gets good exercise while there, tired when he comes home. Worth it. And they are very accommodating to any changes or needs you have.”
“Andrea was a perfect sitter! She sent a picture of my dog and updated me daily to let me know he was okay. I felt comfortable and safe with my pup in her home. The experience was easy! Would book again.”

Maggie L.
“I’m happy to recommend my friend Maggie for pet giver position. She’s amazing with animals and genuinely loves them. Maggie has a dog of her own, Pepsi, whom she has cared for over the past three years. When Maggie first adopted her, Pepsi was shy girl and tend to be nervous around people that she is mot familiar with. But now, thanks to all the love and care Maggie’s given her, Pepsi has turned into the sweetest, most friendly little angel and warms up to strangers quickly. Maggie’s also looked after my dog, Buddy, a few times, and they hit it off immediately. Buddy felt totally comfortable with her when they first meet, even when i am not around. If you’re looking for someone kind, patient, responsible and love animal with all her heart to look after your pet, Maggie’s the one!”
