About: I have experience with big and small dogs, including seniors and dogs with anxiety and special needs. I know each dog is different and will make sure your pup has their needs met! I’m very attentive and diligent and will take care to follow any specific instructions you have. I communicate a lot and tend to give plenty of updates. I currently have no pets of my own but I used to have a large dog and learned a lot through experience and working with multiple trainers during that time. I’m very available to sit or walk as needed right now as I’m taking a break from my corporate job to explore other paths. Willing to be flexible! I have no other pets or dependents so I will be fully dedicated to your pup. I always keep safety first especially as a former reactive dog owner, and I will always be respectful of your property.

“I Use Lisa to visit my dog every time I go away. Adora loves Lisa and gets excited to see her. Lisa also comes in at the hours that I have hardest time filling which is extremely helpful.”


About: Hi! We’re lifelong dog lovers with over 25 years of hands-on experience in dog training, walking, and caring for pups of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. Whether your dog is a high-energy puppy, a senior needing gentle care, or a reactive dog requiring extra patience and understanding—we’ve done it all. I am a teacher, so i have the summers off I’m home most days other then errands here and there so your pet will be taken care of all day with little alone time. I have a fenced yard, dog door for easy access to the backyard from the dog room area of the house. They can go in and out as they please even if you don’t have a dog door it doesn’t take long for them to learn how the other dogs are getting out. I have 2 dogs that love to play and welcome new friends. We feed all animals separately so there is no fights.

About: I've cared for animals my entire life. I'll work hard to prioritize your pet's happiness and well-being while you're away. I have experience looking after small to large adult and senior dogs. I currently work part-time and my schedule is very flexible. Given the day, I'm available to drop in mornings, afternoons, and evenings. Although I'm currently unable to board animals in my home, I am happy to come twice a day or overnight when necessary. My priority is your pet's happiness, which means I will spend every minute of my visits caring for them and playing. I'm happy to go on long walks, scoop up poop, and clean paws.

“Eric was fantastic with our girl Stella! We are so lucky to have found him. Our girl can seem like an intimidating German Shepherd, but Eric has a calm demeanor and he very quickly gained her trust. He is very knowledgeable when it comes to animals and we felt very comfortable leaving our fur baby in his care.”


About: With years of hands-on pet care experience, I’ve had the joy of being a trusted companion to animals of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. From energetic puppies to wise old whiskered friends, I understand that each pet deserves attention tailored to their unique spirit. Whether it’s a backyard adventure, a cozy cuddle, or a long walk with plenty of sniff stops, I’m here to be your pet’s reliable adventure buddy while you’re away. With a focus on safety, affection, and fun, I treat every animal as if they were my own—because they deserve nothing less. My pet sitting schedule is flexible and designed with your pet’s comfort in mind. I offer morning, afternoon, and evening visits to fit their routine and yours. Whether it’s early morning potty breaks, midday walks, or evening mealtime snuggles, I’m available to provide consistent care throughout the day. I also offer overnight stays for pets who need a little extra company while you’re away. My goal is to keep your pet’s day feeling as normal, happy, and adventurous as possible—even when you’re not home. Your pet’s safety and your peace of mind are my top priorities. I take the time to get to know each animal’s routine, personality, and any special needs to ensure they feel comfortable and secure in my care. Whether it’s double-checking gates, using secure leashes and harnesses, or following feeding and medication instructions to the letter—I approach every detail with care and professionalism. I also provide regular updates, photos, and messages so you always know how your furry friend is doing. You can trust that your pet is not only safe, but genuinely cared for—like one of my own.

About: I currently have 2 cats and 1 dog that I take care of alongside my family. I have taken care of my neighbor's dogs when they go on vacation. I do live in Binghamton from Jan-May and Aug-Nov. I am a college student so I do have some spare time on my hands to care for animals. If friendly with other dogs my roommate has a dog so the animals can play. My home is very spacious inside but I do not have a backyard.

About: Hi! I’m Katie, a lifelong animal lover with a heart (and home) full of love for dogs of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. Growing up around dogs and caring for them my whole life has taught me that every pup is unique—and they all deserve love, patience, and belly rubs galore! Whether it’s a leisurely walk, energetic playtime, or simply snuggling on the couch, I tailor my care to your dog’s specific needs. I’m known for being reliable, responsible, and deeply compassionate. I’ll treat your pet like family and give them the kind of attention and affection I’d want for my own fur babies! You can count on me to be prompt, communicative, and fully present with your pet—because I truly love what I do. I’m here to make your life easier and your dog’s life happier. 🐶💛 Let’s connect—I’d love to meet you and your best friend! I work a full time job 8-5 pm. I am looking to fill in some time and gain some extra income by doing something else I will truly love and enjoy! I am available before and after work and I have availability on the weekends. Your dog’s safety is always my top priority. Here’s how I ensure every walk and visit is safe, secure, and stress-free—for both you and your pup: • Leash & Collar Check: I always double-check that harnesses, collars, and leashes are properly secured before each walk to prevent escapes. • Controlled Walks: I avoid high-traffic areas, unfamiliar dogs, or unsafe terrain. I stick to familiar routes unless you approve otherwise, and I stay alert to potential hazards like broken glass or hot pavement. • Personalized Attention: I never walk dogs from different households together—your dog gets my full focus the entire time. • Weather Awareness: I adjust our plans based on weather. On hot days, I’ll avoid overheating with short walks and offer water breaks. In winter, I’ll watch for ice or cold paw pads. • Home Safety: For drop-ins, I make sure doors are locked, hazards are out of reach, food & water is available and I follow your home instructions to a T. • Emergency Preparedness: I carry a phone at all times, keep emergency contacts saved, and know the location of the nearest vet or animal hospital just in case.

“Cat has watched my dog, Oscar, numerous times, and she does such an amazing job. Oscar’s anxiety from me leaving him is much less apparent when Cat watches him.

I highly recommend Cat for your fur child :)”

Newtown dog parents share their Rover experiences
Thank you so much! Carol took great care of Ruby and really helped us out with two 1 hour visits since she’s just a puppy. Ruby said come back and visit her anytime you need puppy love!

Debbie is everything you want in a caregiver for your pet. Reliable, communicative and caring. Would give 10 stars if it was an option.

Lauren B. is an amazing pet sitter! I had confidence in her from the moment she walked into the house for an initial visit. She took notes on everything I showed her and told her about my pets. After we left for our trip and we started receiving updates, my initial impression was confirmed. Her visits were timely and regular, her updates were thorough, and she followed my instructions to a T. She even stayed with my dog through a thunderstorm to keep her calm! Very highly recommended. Thank you, Lauren!

Diane takes such good care of our puppy Bunny! She has been caring for her the last few months and goes above and beyond what we ask of her. She is prompt at communication and extremely reliable! Our neighbors even comment on how great Diane is in her care for our puppy. We’d recommend her to everyone.
