“Jamie was such a wonderful friend to my sweet dog, Bernice. This was Bernices first time home alone for such a long stretch. And Jamie really went out of her way to comfort her. And she managed to get Bernice outside and playing. Jamie is truly the best!”
“Kaylah is as awesome, great communication and manners. She was so very respectful of me and my home during her visits. Clint absolutely loved meeting a new friend and she was so good with him. I felt so at ease knowing Kaylah was watching my boy while I was away. I highly recommend Kaylah for any and all future dog sitting/walking sessions.”
“We couldn't ask for a better dog sitter. Pam consistently goes above and beyond in every way. We have high-energy stubborn cattle dogs, and she handles them with confidence, patience, and genuine care. Our dogs love her, but they also respect her, which says a lot about her ability to connect with them. She's smart, proactive, and thoughtful. She doesn't just follow instructions—she anticipates our needs, thinks through situations on her own, and always makes decisions with our dogs' best interests in mind. She's also an excellent communicator, keeping us updated and making sure we're always informed. Her communication gives us peace of mind and makes us feel completely comfortable whenever we're away. Beyond her professionalism, she's very kind. We can tell she cares about our dogs. We trust her completely and wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for someone exceptional to care for their pets.”
“Ginnie was able to do drop-ins with our two cats through the Thanksgiving holiday, which we were very grateful for! She was even able to come Thanksgiving day. She was delayed a few times due to snow, but she kept us updated so we knew what was going on. She followed our feeding instructions and the cats were well-cared for while we were gone.”
“I'm so happy we chose Sophia to care for our kitties! She is communicative, responsible, and very caring when interacting with our pets. I appreciated the daily videos, photos, and updates she always provided. I will definitely use her again next time I am on vacation.”
About: I work from home, so I am always available for the pets! I love all ages, puppies to older dogs. I had a dog growing up, she just recently passed, so I have experience with all ages. I work from home, so I am available to be with the pets all day long. I love to go on walks so I would love to bring them along with me! I have a dog crate available, and I live in a very safe neighborhood, I will make sure to never leave the pets alone too!
“Heather was great!! She took care of my Lizzie while i was out of town, and my poor pup got sick. Heather cleaned up all messes Lizzie made during times between walks, (lizzie is a tornado when left alone) she was always on time, did everything that was required of her and more too. Heather, you are a great worker, and care taker. I fully appreciate everything you did for Lizzie, and again, im sorry she destroyed half my house and you found yourself cleaning it up. You did a wonderful job, and i will most certainly be hiring you again”
“Courtney was great! She agreed to check in on my cat last minute for me. My cat can be very shy but warmed up to Courtney immediately. She has lots of experience owning pets as well as fostering, so I knew my cat was in good hands. I will definitely book with her in the future!”
“My cat felt safe interacting and snuggling up to John within minutes of first meeting him, and I think it’s because of John’s calm, intentional, gentle presence and demeanor. I couldn’t believe this is his first time cat-sitting because he was so good with my cat. He was quick to respond and was communicative throughout the visits, and asked many questions to get to know my cat’s routines and preferences. John was so polite and easygoing. He went above and beyond caring for my cat for the weekend, and this was a last minute scheduling given last minute plans. So grateful for John.”

Visits will usually include socialization and structured play to make sure your pets aren’t bored but rather fully engaged and comfortable while you’re away!

“Lee came in and was able to take care of Striker when we needed someone last minute. Striker is a shy and cautious girl, but Lee handled her with the patience and care she needed. Thank you Lee!”
About: I’ve always loved dogs and truly enjoy spending time with them! I have a 4-year-old dog of my own who is friendly, playful, and gets along great with other dogs. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of different personalities and love giving them plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and cuddles. When your pup is in my care, I’ll treat them like one of my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I know how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pet, and I’ll do my best to give you peace of mind with regular updates and lots of love for your furry friend! 🐶❤️ I’m available most weekends and have more flexibility to spend time with your pup. Monday through Friday, I work from 6:30 AM to 3:00 PM. Before work, I always make sure my own dog gets outside for some morning exercise and attention. When I get home, we spend time playing and relaxing together in our fenced-in yard. Your pup will be welcomed into our routine and given plenty of love, attention, and playtime! Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fenced-in yard where dogs can safely play and get some exercise, and I’ll always supervise outdoor time. I have a friendly 4-year-old dog who gets along great with other dogs and can provide a companion for your pup. I’ll make sure every dog in my care feels comfortable, secure, and treated like part of the family. I’m also happy to follow your dog’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, medications, walks, and any special instructions.
“Meaghan was an amazing dog sitter for my high maintenance, sweet, loving beagle! She followed all my instructions and went above and beyond in taking care of my pup! She sent me updates and photos which made me reassured all was good while I was away! I will definitely be booking her again. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing a sitter!”

Reach out and I will do my best to make it happen! If your pet needs it- I will do it. Over night stays, check ins, walks, playing, grooming and feeding. They deserve the very best always
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 :)
About: I have personally taken care of my own dogs my whole life. I also have experience with dogs of all sizes and personalities from working at rescues, doggy daycares, and veterinary clinics. In addition, I am currently working towards my degree in Animal Behavior and certification as a Canine Specialist. I currently work at a veterinary clinic M-F and am available on the weekends. I hope to extend my availability in the very near future! I have three four fur babies of my own and I promise to treat yours with the same amount of love, compassion, and devotion. Your best friend will be in very safe hands!
“Brent was reliable and timely with his check ins and updates while dropping in to feed and check on my cat. Happy to know someone was giving her attention while I was away! Would recommend. ?”
About: We welcome housebroken dogs of all shapes, sizes, and breeds into our home. Our home is 100% pet friendly. Your housebroken dog will have full access to our home and fenced yard. We have a kennel if your dog prefers to sleep in one, or they are free to sleep anywhere in our home. Your dog will be part of our family! About this sitter: Your pet is most comfortable in their own home. Some pets are anxious and scared when their owners are away. Having me come to your home to care for your pets will allow them the security and comfort of being in their usual surroundings and able to be in their normal routine. During each visit, I will ensure your pet is fed, given time outside (as needed), and given lots of individual attention and play time. Why I love dog sitting I've been an animal lover all my life, and in particular, I have loved dogs since I can remember. My family always had dogs when I was growing up. I've been married for over 30 years and we have had at least one dog in the house at all times, but usually two or three. About my yard We live on 7 acres. There is a doggie door that leads to a fenced-in area. There are also trails through the woods for walks and open areas for play. Additionally, we have a comfortable deck in the fenced area in the event your dog wants to lay outside while at my home. My experience administering medication Yes. I have extensive experience giving dogs tablets and pills, applying various ointments and creams, and administering eye, nose, and ear drops. My husband and I recently retired to Skaneateles, so we are home almost all the time! Your pet(s) will have constant companionship while in our home. Your pet(s) will have full access to our home; however, I have a crate if preferred. Only my husband and I live in our home, so your pet(s) will feel safe and no strangers will be here.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 613 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Marcellus Falls. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Marcellus Falls. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
