“Alex is a great host and Keira loved it there! She enjoyed the pond, playing, fetch and exploring the grounds. I don’t think she wanted to leave!”

“Robert and Eileen were so wonderful with our dog Poppy! This was our first time leaving her with a sitter, she usually goes everywhere we do. They made her comfort and care a priority, and we are so grateful for that. She had a wonderful time, and came home exhausted in the best way! Excellent communication and very accommodating, we would certainly book another stay with them!”
“Hanna took wonderful care of Bodhi! I appreciated her sensitivity and kindness with my older dog. I would definitely have Bodhi stay with her again.”

“This was our first time using Rover and I have to say it was very pleasant. Sheila was great Even when I was having difficulty booking she was easy to reach with answers. We really appreciate the fact that we met outside which allowed both our dogs to meet and greet on neutral grounds. Sending us a picture showing that Mila had found a comfortable spot and settled in was great. We are happy to have found someone close to our home, who will make it easier when we have those last minute plans and won’t have so scramble to find good care for Mila when are away. We will definitely ask Sheila to board Mila in the future. Biagio and Kudzai”
“Laura was a huge help this past weekend while we were visiting the Ithaca area, agreeing to watch our pup, Beau, somewhat last minute after our original pet sitter fell through. She took Beau on a hike and sent great pictures, which really made us feel at ease. When we came to pick him up he seemed very content and like he had had a great time. Thank you, Laura!”

About: A loving indoor environment, hands-on care in a country setting with fresh air available and plenty of space. I am home all day except for quick errands I have raised and trained Brittany spaniels, Golden retrievers, and Siberian huskies. An accomplished trainer, devoted to animals, I am retired, a former farmer living in a quiet, relaxed home. I have ample time for walks, playtime, and rest. The yard is cleaned daily. I am long-time dog owner and trainer (and cat owner) who can handle any breed or any sized dog, small, medium, large, or bigger, offering long walks with ample room for exercise and play ...

“Claudia is the best! I had a last minute trip come up and Claudia was super accommodating. I appreciated all the updates and pictures. I know Leia (my dog) had a great time. Thank you!”
About: Hi! I just started doing this again FT in July & I’m excited to help care for your little babes. Whether it’s drop-in visits or walks, boarding here or house-sitting, you can feel relieved that your home and family will be in the kindest of hands. Common human courtesy like bringing in your mail & watering your plants are included. 😊 I’ve been a lover of animals since I was born, riding horses and having even exotic pets; these days, I help out with a wildlife rehabber, I volunteer & have fostered with a local animal shelter, and in my own pet-parenting experience, I know about veterinary meds & the different ways of administering them, etc. My husband care for our cats if I need to house-sit, otherwise, this is my full-time gig lately and I absolutely love it! It’s my calling. 🥰 I leave a place better than I found it; I am highly polite and respectful and would never disrespect a client’s home; I treat it like I’m a guest on my best behavior of course!
“Chantal was a fantastic sitter for our puppy, who struggles with separation anxiety. She provided exceptional care, making him feel right at home and showing remarkable patience throughout his overnight stay. Her dedication and kindness were truly comforting to us. We highly recommend Chantal to anyone seeking a caring and attentive pet sitter. We're grateful for her service and will definitely seek her help again.”
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.
