Pet Sitting Ovid

About: Animals have been central to my life from an early age, and few things bring me more peace and joy than caring for the beloved pets of others—domestic and exotic alike. For over a decade I’ve provided quality care for cats and dogs of all sizes and ages in both my home and those of my clients’. Ten years ago, I helped launch the STAY WILD Rehabilitation Center in Trumansburg, NY, where I gained extensive hands-on experience rescuing and rehabilitating sick or injured domestic and farm animals—including dogs, cats, horses, and sheep—as well as local wildlife. Through this work, I developed advanced skills in administering medications of all kinds, wound care and maintenance, and specialized feeding procedures for high-needs animals. I’m confident in situations that require extra patience and care at any stage of your pet’s life — from potty training and housebreaking, to teething and the “terrible twos,” all the way through the gentle, attentive support senior pets deserve. ❤️ I am currently finishing the final credits of my college degree, which gives me a flexible and dependable daytime schedule. Because my coursework is remote, I’m able to prioritize consistent, timely drop-ins and structure my days around my Rover clients. I’m available Monday–Wednesday from 9am–6pm, and Thursday-Sunday from 2pm–6pm. I strive to maintain consistent visit windows for every household. I specialize in dependable drop-in visits and attentive walks in your pet’s familiar environments. My car is set up with a dog hammock and pet safety seatbelt to transport your pupper to a nearby park or trail if desired! I prioritize safe and secure leash handling, stay aware of surroundings by avoiding headphone use, and tailor the pace and distance to your dog’s comfort level and energy. I understand how important consistency and routine are, and I carefully follow all feeding, medication, exercise, and care instructions exactly as provided. With a background in banking and childcare, I bring responsibility, discretion, and respect into every home I enter. You can expect punctual visits, clear communication, and photo updates so you feel assured and at ease while I’m with your furry family member ❤️. I will treat every pet with the same patience and love I give my own senior pup.

“Max and Kyle were fantastic! They came by promptly, spent plenty of time to check on our pets (1 dog, 2 cats), and shared photos at every visit. When we came back, our pets were happy and healthy, and it was clear that they were well cared for.”

“Allia is fantastic! We worked with her for the first time this weekend because our daughter had a 1st birthday party, and our dog Cooper gets anxious around children he doesn’t know. We asked if she could take him for a long walk or excursion and she provided an excellent experience the whole way through. She was on time, professional, has great energy, and greeted Cooper with a hug 😊 You could from the Rover pictures how happy she made Cooper the whole time they were out together; she treated him like family. She sent pictures throughout her time with him, took great care of him, and had great communication about her arrival time back. We’ve been looking to build a strong list of go-to dog sitters/dog walking partners, and you can bet Allia is on our list! Thanks for everything, Allia, and we (and Cooper 🐾) look forward to working with you again!”

“We are very pleased with the care that our little Johnny received from Margaret M. Johnny is very shy and she seemed to be able to manage him and his nervousness with ease we would definitely use her again”

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 11 years old. It started with my family dog, along with family members dogs. I would walk them and feed them. I then got my own dogs that I do all care for. I started fostering with a local rescue in 2022. I’ve cared for dogs with medical issues. Anywhere from Seizure disorders, parasites and other various medical issues. I treat every dog that I care for as if they’re my own. I currently work full time, M-F 730a-330p. I am able to check in, walk, feed, etc, dogs before work, during my lunch and after work. I have 2 dogs of my own. We live in a 3 bedroom house. Unfortunately, I don’t have a fenced in yard. I do take my dogs on multiple walks everyday along with utilizing a tie out (if they want to stay out longer), and would do the same with yours, so they get some outside time.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of various kinds since I was 10. Friends, family and neighbors have relied on me to walk, feed and play with their pets. Currently I work on a 10 month contract. Therefore I have summer off so I have plenty of time to provide pet care to those in need of such services. I am a very trustworthy person who has tremendous respect for other people’s property and belongings. I especially respect pets with their needs and desires.

“Lydia took excellent care of my 2 cats! I had never used Rover and was nervous about having someone in my home but she left my home tidy and my cats happy. I will utilize her services in the future and would highly recommend her to anyone.”

About: About Me: Hi, I'm Arya Naga. I was born in India and moved to the United States in 2005. Through the hard work and dedication of my parents, I achieved my goals of becoming a permanent resident (enroute to becoming a US Citizen in few months), earning my education and building my passion into a business dedicated to dogs. I provide boarding, daycare, training, behavior modification, walking, exercise, and grooming with one simple motto: **Happiness, Wellness, and Safety of Every Pet Under My Care.** I work from home full-time, which allows me to provide constant supervision, individualized attention, structured exercise, enrichment activities, and regular potty breaks throughout the day. Every dog's care is customized based on age, energy level, temperament, health, and your specific instructions. I am currently signed up for my 3rd educational degree to finish pre DVM prerequisites in about 2-3 years, with the goal of getting into Cornell to pursue my DVM degree. I train my dogs regularly in obedience, tracking, agility and search and rescue. I am also a **NASAR Wilderness Air Scent Certified K9 Handler**, and I have experience working with dogs of many breeds, sizes, temperaments, and behavioral challenges. My Boarding Philosophy: Safety always comes first. Every dog is treated as an individual. I carefully evaluate each dog's temperament before introducing them to other dogs. While many dogs eventually enjoy supervised group play, I never force interactions simply because they're boarding together. If your dog prefers people over other dogs—or simply needs more personal space—they will receive plenty of one-on-one attention, walks, playtime, enrichment, and affection instead. What Your Dog Can Expect: * Constant supervision while boarding * Structured play, walks, fetch, and enrichment * Individual feeding and medication (if needed) * Fresh water and frequent potty breaks * Clean, sanitized environment * Comfortable individual crate for rest and overnight sleeping * Plenty of exercise balanced with appropriate rest Dogs are never left crated all day. Throughout the day they enjoy multiple outdoor breaks, exercise sessions, walks, and playtime before returning indoors to relax and recharge. Crate Policy: All boarding dogs have their own appropriately sized crate for meals, rest periods, and overnight sleeping. This helps maintain a safe, clean, and low-stress environment for every dog while preventing accidents, unwanted chewing, food stealing, marking, or conflicts between unfamiliar dogs. Crate training is also an important life skill that benefits dogs in veterinary care, travel, and training environments. Cleanliness: Maintaining a clean environment is one of my highest priorities. My home, crates, and equipment are cleaned and sanitized regularly using pet-safe cleaning products to provide a healthy environment for every guest. Feeding: I recommend owners bring their dog's regular food to avoid digestive upset. However, if needed, I can provide my own high-quality kibble for a reasonable additional fee, provided your dog has no known food sensitivities. What I Ask From Owners: To provide the best care possible, I ask that owners share: * Your dog's daily routine * Feeding and medication instructions * Behavioral history (both strengths and challenges) * Play style and exercise preferences * Any medical conditions or special needs The more I know about your dog, the better I can make their stay comfortable and enjoyable. My Commitment: My goal is for every dog to leave my home happy, healthy, safe, and excited to return. I take the trust you place in me seriously and will care for your dog as if they were one of my own. I also perform a wellness check during both drop-off and pickup to document your dog's condition and ensure transparency for everyone involved. Thank you for taking the time to read my profile. I look forward to meeting you and your pup! As i work from home, i can attend the pets needs in a timely manner and ensure they are always well taken care of and are having a good time when boarded with me. They come out every 2-3 hrs and get walked or played hard for 30-40 mins each session and the loop repeats like from 6am/7am to midnight. I give personalized attention to an individual pup’s needs and strategize my approach accordingly. The pets are always provided with required amount of food, plenty of water, play and potty breaks between 7am to 1am.

“Heather did really well caring for our little man while we were away for the weekend. They got along great and he even ate for her! Would recommend her and would.love to have her come back for future visits!”
