Personalized care for your dog or cat - Apalachin
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Apalachin
“Very friendly, Coco enjoyed her stay. Carolina sent updates and pictures to me at least 2 times a day. I recommend her highly. I also suggest to meet beforehand to let her puppy get used to your dog. Het dog is kept separately in the house, but the two dogs got along and hung out together.”
“This was my first time leaving my dog with a sitter and I chose them based on their description, reviews and repeat customers on Rover. I was impressed with Steve’s responsiveness and methodical approach at our meet and greet. My dog Portia was immediately comfortable there and returned happy and tired from her stay. I recommend this service and would use them again.”
“All I can say is wow! Mary provided the best doggy daycare experience we’ve ever had. She sent so many updates and pictures. You can tell how much she loves the dogs she takes care of. We will use her going forward for sure.”
“Alex and family were great! Very attentive, very responsive. Great place for dogs to run freely. Great pond! This was my first time trying Rover and as soon as I saw all the repeat customers, I knew I made a good choice. Thank you, Alex! We will be back if he’ll have us again!”
“Chip had a great time with Bee! He was there 4 nights, very responsive if we checked in and provided updates. Very flexible with pickup and drop off. Based off her pictures of him relaxing and how calm he is when we picked him up, he seemed to have a good time! Thank you Bee! -Maria”
“We were extremely pleased with the care and attention that Michelle gave to our dog Dixie. She took great care of our dog and when we came to pick her up, I think Dixie would have been happy to stay longer. The house, the accommodations and the caretaker were perfect for our dog and she was very relaxed when we came to pick her up. Michelle was a very good "fit" for us and Dixie. We definitely would use Michelle again.”
“Alexandria was awesome. Easygoing, communicative, flexible and totally capable. We really appreciate her taking care of our sweet pup for the night! He came back happy as a clam.”
“Very sweet woman who was very loving to my dog, Ringo. This is my first time using Rover and thanks to her I really enjoyed the experience. I would have her dog sit again in the future!”

Cat caregivers near you - Apalachin
“Sabrina is a diligent and professional sitter. She did a great job administering oral medication to our cat. She was patient, and sensitive to our cats body language. I look forward to booking her services in the future, and highly recommend her.”
“Shannon was very responsive and did a great job watching out for my two cats. Thanks to her I was completely stress free while I was away on vacation. Thank you so much again Shannon!!”
“Melanie is wonderful! Very attentive to our cats and goes above and beyond to care for them, including our diabetic cat who can be fidgety. Would absolutely recommend Melanie!”
“Vincent gained a lot of experience in administering liquid medication to our high maintenance cat! Our meet and greet was super valuable. He did a great job practicing administration, asking questions, and getting used to the words we use to announce actions to our cat. For the drop in visits he was on time, communicated clearly, and properly scooped the litterbox. He also played with her appropriately (proper "cat" play, not pushing the toy in her face). Vincent in general seems to be a kind soul who wants to do a good job, and we look forward to booking his services as his schedule allows.”
“It's abundantly clear how much Sindri truly cares for animals. I hate leaving our elderly and slightly neurotic cat at home, but from the first meet and greet to the very thorough check-in updates, I was actually able to be out of town with minimal anxiety. Sindri's experience really shined with the photos, detailed description of the interaction, and quick responses for each visit. Thank you for taking such excellent care of our meatball!”

My mother was also a vet tech for several years and taught me how to properly interact with dogs and cats to make them feel safe and trusting in my care! It's also helpful to have her knowledge handy in case anything arises with your beloved pet that you or I may be concerned about. I also briefly worked as a secretary in a vets office in PA where i regularly handled distressed and anxious animals from cats and dogs to goats a horses! I'm comfortable walking, playing, brushing, and bathing your fur babies, whatever they may need! Expect lots of photo updates! I also have experience administering medications (injections and pills) I currently work for the county on a standard M-F 8-4 schedule. I’m awaiting a promotion that may, at times, require me to stay late if we’re in preparation for a trial but I’ll know well in advance if and when that time comes. I want to ensure you and your pet are as comfortable with my presence as possible! Please let me know of any and all rules/routines/ expectations so I can follow them accordingly!

“This was our first time leaving our cats with a sitter, and it was a wonderful experience. From the meet-and-greet, we felt she was a perfect match.

“Colleen cat sitted for me again and did a phenomenal job with refilling food and changing the automatic litter box. I will continue to use her services as she really values the health and wellness of her customer’s pets. I will be booking again very soon!”

“Dana was so good with our cats. The daily updates on our babies were thoughtfully written and it helped keep our anxious minds at ease. We were so lucky to find her on a very short notice and couldn’t be more grateful”
“Robyn was very punctual and sent timely updates after each visit. I knew our boy was in good hands in her care. I would absolutely work with Robyn again for my large breed guardian dog. Thank you Robyn”
“Carissa is the best of the best!! She treated our two cats like they were her own while we were away. Her communication was great and we came home to a clean house and two well cared for babies. Highly recommend!!”
About: My name is Michelle and I am a former teacher, now stay at home mom to two babies and one dog. I have always had dogs in my life. Growing up, I had a Sheltie and two rescue Beagle mixes. Currently, I have one sweet pup, a hound named Benjamin who is equal parts lazy, silly, and "follow the nose." As a former teacher, I know how busy life can get. I also know how hard it can be to find someone you trust to take care of your fur babies and I'd love to help. I'm currently available occasional boarding services (check my calendar for availability). I have a large, fenced in backyard. For boarding, dogs MUST be fully house broken, crate trained, and 100% good with children as I have two small children in the house. Not accepting puppies at this time. I have a fenced in yard with plenty of room to run and play. I have one dog in my home, he is friendly and ready to play (or not play if your dog prefers, Ben's often a lazy boy, too)! I'm able to feed, walk, or crate your dog as requested. Dogs are allowed on the furniture.
“Kitty approved! Lindsay was great! I had only ever had friends & family watch Josie previously, so I was very anxious having someone I didn't know watch her. Lindsay did a great job easing all of my worries. She was accommodating with the Meet & Greet. She was always quick to respond to my texts and would send pictures occasionally. Josie can be quite nervous around new people, but warmed up quickly to Lindsay and her family. My kitty has some medical issues that require meds to mixed in with her food and an inhaler to be administered. Very few people are comfortable giving a cat an inhaler, but Lindsay was quick to learn. I will definitely be contacting Lindsay again next time I travel. I definitely recommend her. 💜”
“Jamie made sure both of my kitties had plenty of food. He stayed for an hour each time. They were warming up to him by the fourth day. He will do what you want him to do to take care of your kitties. Thank you, Jamie”

I feel like our dogs are part of our family's and should be treated with love and respect. I enjoy walking so I would love to include your dog in my walks. I am a very reliable person who would treat your pet like it's my own. I love dog kisses and muddy paw prints are no problem. If I'm not covered in dog hair and slobber then we haven't had enough fun. I truly do just love all animals and enjoy being with them. I am retired so I have plenty of time every day to walk and play with your fur babies. I enjoy spending time outside and walking is a great way to enjoy any day. I will make sure your dog is always on a leash and walked in a safe place. Plenty of hugs , pets and love will also be part of our walk.

“I was hoping so bad it was a match with my pup and her family...AND IT WAS!!! I work off hours and my pup is a couch potato but needs company. They accommodated him and put him at ease. I'm so glad it was a match bc now that gives him some consistency when I bring him back. Thank you to you and your family.”
“Kathryn was great. This was the first time leaving our pittie with a stranger, and we were very pleased with the way everything was handled. Kathryn met our expectations, and we look forward to working with her in the near future.”
“Thank you Justin & Melissa for taking good care of Nick for me . I will definitely use your services in the near future. Thank you for being so accommodating for us . You’re the best . Thanks again Mike”
About: For nearly 20years I’ve been caring for animals of all types. I have experience with Dogs, Cats, Rodents, Reptiles, and just about everything in between.

About: I truly love animals and treat every pet like part of the family. I’ve volunteered at an animal shelter and have cared for dogs, puppies, cats, kittens, reptiles, bunnies, and pets that require medication. Since I work remotely, I’m able to give your pet lots of attention, companionship, and care throughout the day. I’ll send you as many pics as you’d like :) Since I work remotely, pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. Walks are already a regular part of my schedule, and I’m available throughout the day for feeding, playtime, cuddles, and plenty of attention. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, medication, and any special instructions. Whether they’re in my home or theirs, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for, with plenty of attention and updates for their owner!
About: I have had pets most of my life. I quit my job and started a non-profit, St. Lewis Foundation, which didnt work out, so all the animals in my care became my pets. They were mostly senior and unwanted animals, which is where my heart is. I am unemployed right now, looking for remote work . So I am home all day. I have the time to let your pup out as many times as he/she wants. If they are a little dog I will be right by their side. I am up 6a - 9p. I have 3 senior cats that sleep up high most of the day, so your pup needs to be okay with cats. All pups sleep with me in my king size bed (if they want to). I have a dog bed next to me in my office or a couch in front of a large front window. I have locked screen security doors in case your pup likes to sniff the air. Central AC (I like it cool) and heating. I have many balls and treats (if allowed) and would love to throw the ball a bit. Back yard is not huge but sufficient. All my dogs have passed and I am missing a dog so much but cant commit right now. So let me love on your pup!

About: I've had dogs my entire life, but really started taking a lot of responsibility for their care around 12. From small breeds to large, I've loved them all! I have experience with behavioral issues, medication administration, seizures, and other medical issues. I'm a stay at home mom of two beautiful disabled children. We have one cat and one dog. I'm always home and available during the day for boarding. We have nice, big yards and we live in a very friendly neighborhood! I'd also love to help take care of your babes on the weekends, evenings, and occasionally during the week! I have an unfenced but spacious yard. Our home has the capacity to keep everyone separated if needed, but lots of room to be together, too! We have plenty of room for a crate, if that's how your sweet babe thrives, but we also support snuggles during sleep, too!
“A successful first time ever at doggie daycare for my Tucker! Charlene and her husband were very gracious and accommodating, and kept me updated on my blind and elderly boy's day. I am very happy, and I will definitely use them again.”

About: I am a pre-veterinary student with a lifelong love of animals. I grew up caring for three dogs, which taught me how to be patient, responsible, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs. I also have experience working in a veterinary office, where I gained valuable knowledge about animal care, behavior, and safety. I would love the opportunity to care for your pets and will treat them with the same love and attention I give my own. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life since I have three dogs of my own. Feeding, walking, grooming, and playing with them is just built into my routine. I genuinely enjoy the structure and joy they bring, and caring for animals has become second nature to me. At home, I keep my dogs on a consistent routine with feeding, walks, play, and grooming. I’ll care for your pets the same way—with love, attention, and reliability, making sure they feel safe and happy while in my care.
About: I think what sets me apart is all the experience I have had with dogs. We have had dogs since I was a baby. We have had labs, Havanese, mixed breeds and doodles. My family always lived on a farm with tons of animals, so we always had many pups. We have cared from them since they were puppies and when some had cancer and were sick. I will make sure to love and take care of your pup as if they were my own. They will always be in good hands. I work from home, so I am available everyday at any time and weekends! My routine will be around your pups schedule. I will make anything work to make things easier for you. If pets are in my home, they will be comfortable as if it was their own. My yard is fenced in, so they can play in the back. I always have the water bowls filled and will keep them on their food schedule. My dogs sleep in my room with me, so if you don’t mind your pup will have it’s own spot in my room to sleep too!
“Thank you Alexandria for hosting Charlie while my husband underwent a surgical procedure this week. It was such a relief not to worry about Charlie, that he would be let outside for bathroom breaks and cared for while we were at the hospital. We sure appreciate that fine care you give him and how you work with our erratic schedule! Nancy”
About: Hi! My name is Julia and i'm 33 years old. I have 2 little boys that are homeschooled. I've been taking care of all sorts of animals since I was a little girl!

I've always groomed my own pets and I can also give any medications or shots they may need for medical conditions. I'd love to take your dog for a walk or play some fetch in the yard! I'll make sure they feel loved and cared for while you're away. I'm a stay at home mom of 2 little boys! My schedule is pretty flexible as my husband works from home and can take over being with the boys while I tend to your pets. I can play with your pet in your yard or take them for walks! I can crate them as well if needed. I can give food and water, clean litter boxes, and pick up after the dog. If your dog is staying in my home, my cats will be kept seperate from them so there is no issues or worries :)

About: I have had two cats all of my life, while also pet sitting my friends’ dogs when they went out of town. I am very familiar with both cats and dogs and I am happy to hang out with your pet when you cannot be there for them. I am taking a gap year from school so my schedule is fairly flexible. As long as there are set times that are clear I can make it work. Depending on whether you have cats or dogs will change the way I care for your pet in your home. With dogs, there will be more going in and out with walks and with cats I will stay in the home to make sure everything is up to your standards.

About: Hi! I’m a local mom of two in the Owego area offering calm, reliable pet care. I have three cats of my own, so I’m very familiar with feeding routines, litter box care, and understanding different cat personalities. I’m comfortable caring for shy, independent, or more social pets. I offer drop-in visits for feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, and making sure your pet feels safe and cared for while you’re away. I also offer dog walking for all breeds. I focus on providing a quiet, low-stress experience and only take on a small number of pets at a time so each one gets proper attention. I’m also happy to send updates so you have peace of mind while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I already care for my three cats each day, so feeding, cleaning, and checking on pets is a regular part of my life. I’m available for drop-in visits during the day after 9am and can also do early evening visits if needed. I keep a flexible but structured schedule so I can give each pet the time and attention they need without feeling rushed. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow all instructions for feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, and any specific needs the pet may have. I also spend time with each pet so they feel comfortable and not alone. I respect each client’s home by keeping things clean, secure, and exactly as I found them. In my own home, I care for my three cats daily, so I’m very familiar with maintaining a clean, safe, and calm environment for pets.
“Colleen is super nice, reliable and communicative! I don't just trust anyway with my dog, Pax, and I trust her completely. Colleen has been willing to accommodate my somewhat irregular schedule, and I appreciate her flexibility.”

I’ve previously worked with Rover in Denver, Colorado so this isn’t my first go-around! I've grown up with dogs and cats my entire life and now have 2 cats of my own! My mother was also a vet tech for several years and taught me how to properly interact with dogs and cats to make them feel safe and trusting in my care! It's also helpful to have her knowledge handy in case anything arises with your beloved pet that you or I may be concerned about. I also briefly worked as a secretary in a vets office in PA where i regularly handled distressed and anxious animals from cats and dogs to goats a horses! I'm comfortable walking, playing, brushing, and bathing your fur babies, whatever they may need! Expect lots of photo updates! I also have experience administering medications (injections and pills) I currently work for the county on a standard M-F 8-4 schedule. I’m awaiting a promotion that may, at times, require me to stay late if we’re in preparation for a trial but I’ll know well in advance if and when that time comes. I want to ensure you and your pet are as comfortable with my presence as possible! Please let me know of any and all rules/routines/ expectations so I can follow them accordingly!
“Shannon was great with my high energy pup! She did two meet and greats to make us and Reyna feel at ease. You can tell Shannon really cares about animals and will do whatever it takes to make everyone feel comfortable. She went above and beyond by sending me pictures and a nice note about how the walk went and her communication has been great. We will definitely use Shannon again!”

I love taking walks and hiking with my dog, and I would love to provide this service for others. I am very attentive and notice dogs moods, needs and wants. I’ve had my dog for 9 years and can read cues easily and learn other dogs cues like I have in the past, quickly.
About: I've had dogs my entire life, but really started taking a lot of responsibility for their care around 12. From small breeds to large, I've loved them all! I have experience with behavioral issues, medication administration, seizures, and other medical issues. I'm a stay at home mom of two beautiful disabled children. We have one cat and one dog. I'm always home and available during the day for boarding. We have nice, big yards and we live in a very friendly neighborhood! I'd also love to help take care of your babes on the weekends, evenings, and occasionally during the week! I have an unfenced but spacious yard. Our home has the capacity to keep everyone separated if needed, but lots of room to be together, too! We have plenty of room for a crate, if that's how your sweet babe thrives, but we also support snuggles during sleep, too!
About: I’ve cared for dogs for over 10 years, from puppies to senior dogs. I currently have a senior small dog of my own, so I understand the patience and attention pets need at all life stages.

Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or just companionship, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for!

I take time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and needs so they feel as comfortable as possible. I’m especially patient with shy or nervous pets and will always provide a calm, caring, and attentive environment.
About: I have cared for cats, dogs, bunnies and fish since I was a child! Your pet will be in good hands with me, guaranteed. I am excited to meet my new friend! I have a part-time career in social services, so Rover fits into the other hours of the day that I am free to work with your pet(s). I like to keep the water bowl full, bathroom breaks every 1-2 hours (or as needed), and food, treats, walks as specified by the pet owner!

About: I am a pre-veterinary student with a lifelong love of animals. I grew up caring for three dogs, which taught me how to be patient, responsible, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs. I also have experience working in a veterinary office, where I gained valuable knowledge about animal care, behavior, and safety. I would love the opportunity to care for your pets and will treat them with the same love and attention I give my own. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life since I have three dogs of my own. Feeding, walking, grooming, and playing with them is just built into my routine. I genuinely enjoy the structure and joy they bring, and caring for animals has become second nature to me. At home, I keep my dogs on a consistent routine with feeding, walks, play, and grooming. I’ll care for your pets the same way—with love, attention, and reliability, making sure they feel safe and happy while in my care.

“Very friendly, Coco enjoyed her stay. Carolina sent updates and pictures to me at least 2 times a day. I recommend her highly. I also suggest to meet beforehand to let her puppy get used to your dog. Het dog is kept separately in the house, but the two dogs got along and hung out together.”
“This was my first time leaving my dog with a sitter and I chose them based on their description, reviews and repeat customers on Rover. I was impressed with Steve’s responsiveness and methodical approach at our meet and greet. My dog Portia was immediately comfortable there and returned happy and tired from her stay. I recommend this service and would use them again.”
“Alex and family were great! Very attentive, very responsive. Great place for dogs to run freely. Great pond! This was my first time trying Rover and as soon as I saw all the repeat customers, I knew I made a good choice. Thank you, Alex! We will be back if he’ll have us again!”
“Chip had a great time with Bee! He was there 4 nights, very responsive if we checked in and provided updates. Very flexible with pickup and drop off. Based off her pictures of him relaxing and how calm he is when we picked him up, he seemed to have a good time! Thank you Bee! -Maria”
“Alexandria was awesome. Easygoing, communicative, flexible and totally capable. We really appreciate her taking care of our sweet pup for the night! He came back happy as a clam.”

Always open for requests, and again, will consider on a case by case basis.
“Kathryn and Jared were great with our female pittie with her 11 day stay. Their dogs welcomed her, and they had a great time just by looking at the pictures they sent. We will definitely use them the next time we go on vacation.”
“Emily was great, our pups loved her. They seemed well loved and well exercised. She sent pictures of them on their walks and after walk naps. We will definitely be using her again when we visit Johnson City. Highly recommend.”
“Laura is phenomenal with my small sensitive pup, I believe that she genuinely loves looking after and caring for him. She is considerate, trustworthy, good at communicating, and very consistent with providing updates and photos!”
