House Sitting in Northeast Ithaca

“Jenna was AMAZING. Took excellent care of our Indy (dog) and Maisey (cat). Provided good updates so we knew everyone was alive and well. Lots of great photos. She even helped out in a pinch when our flight got delayed. I would trust her with our pets anytime.”

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.”

“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!”

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.

“Anika was an amazing dog and house sitter. We got incredible updates twice a day with photos we loved. We hope Anika can sit our pups again because they were so happy.”

Molly W.

“Claudia was wonderful with our two dogs. She made sure to send lots of photos during the stay! The dogs were clearly very comfortable with her from the get go and it was great knowing they were in good hands. We look forward to having her sit again in the future!”

Anna S.

“Chris did a great job again with Luna, Mia, and the fish. All our pets were well-fed and happy when we returned. We appreciated the daily pics and great communication. Thank you, Chris!”

Patricia Y.

“Clara is wonderful! Followed all of my dog care instructions, kept the house tidy and, above all, provided excellent company and love to my doggies in my absence! She would regularly share photos and video footage of how they were getting on as well which is always a plus. Would recommend her to anyone who wants top quality dog-sitting.”

John S.

“Cassie provided excellent care for our two cats over the weekend. She was very attentive to their individual needs and really seemed to appreciate their unique personalities and quirks. Cassie was also VERY communicative and responsive, sending lots of pictures that showed her cuddling and playing with them both. They clearly got their fair share of love while we were away. The house was neat as a pin when we returned and both cats hardly noticed us when we walked in-- a sign that they got plenty of attention. I would absolutely have her care for my pets again.”

Susan T.

“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!”

Stephen G.

“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!”

About: I grew up in an animal loving household and have always jumped at any opportunity to spend time with and care for many types of pets. I have been pet sitting for friends and family since I was 15 and it’s never felt like a job because I love to do it! I am in school full-time but it is online, so my hours are very flexible. As long as I have notice, I can accommodate whatever timing is most convenient for you. My number one priority is making sure your pet feels as safe and comfortable as possible. I will take things at their pace and make sure to maintain open communication with you, the client, so I know how to properly see to your pet’s specific needs.

About: Hi! I’m a former veterinary assistant with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments—from high-energy puppies to senior companions. What sets me apart from other sitters is my deep understanding of dog behavior, my medical knowledge, and my active lifestyle. Whether your pup needs a relaxed stroll, an energetic run, a med administered, or just some loving company while you’re away, I’ve got it covered. I’ve worked with dogs professionally through a vet clinic, as a shelter dog walker, and personally—my family has a Westie and an Aussie shepherd, so I’m well-versed in different energy levels and training styles. I also have experience bathing dogs. I’m happy to help reinforce any training you’re working on (just teach me the cues!) and I’ll always keep a close eye on your dog’s mood, health, and happiness. I’m currently available throughout the day for walks, check-ins, and overnight care. I have a flexible schedule and can easily accommodate last-minute bookings, same-day visits, or midday walks. Your pet will have my full attention and consistent care! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their space and animals with the same respect and attention I would my own. I follow your routine closely—whether it’s feeding times, walks, medications, or bedtime habits—to keep your pet feeling safe and comfortable while you're away. I keep a close eye on behavior and health, and I’m happy to update you with photos and notes as often as youd like. I have a background as a veterinary assistant, so I’m confident handling medications, keeping things clean, and responding to any changes in behavior. I also love to reinforce any training you’re working on! Your pets will get lots of attention, play, and care in their own familiar environment.
