“Lil bear loves going there. I never have to worry about him when I drop him off. We use them for overnight boarding and doggy daycare. I highly recommend them.”
“Kelly was amazing!! She looked after our pup for almost a full week while we traveled out of state, and I think our dog was sad to leave! They went on adventure walks and sent us updates and photos every day, we never worried once while our dog was in Kelly's care. Would absolutely rebook in the future!”
“Andrea took great care of my lil pup on her first overnights without me. She was communicative, has a fenced in yard, a great dog walking neighborhood and I would love to have Rox stay with her for future trips.”
“Maxine was a fantastic sitter for my puppy! Took her on hikes almost daily and handled her meds and everything with no issue. She also took some fantastic photos and shared updates daily. Highly recommend!”
“Kathy and Tim are awesome! They truly love dogs! They are great communicators! This was our first time leaving our beloved dog. We were very anxious but Kathy and Tim put us at ease right away by sending photos and describing her activities. They treated her like a special guest. She loved sleeping on their couch and exploring their large back yard. Our dog can be stubborn, but they really paid attention to her needs and figured out how to get her outside on a hot day. We highly recommend them.”
“Spencer was fantastic. He was communicative, professional, and sent regular updates and photos, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our dog was comfortable and well cared for. He was attentive and picked up on little personality details, making the experience even better. We came home to a happy, relaxed dog. Highly recommend Spencer and would absolutely book with him again.”
“Lauren did a great job caring for my dog Stella! She was able to accommodate a last minute boarding request and sent daily pictures/updates. Stella came home happy and well taken care of.”
“Destiny is wonderful! She makes you and your pup feel so comfortable. I would highly recommend Destiny for babysitting and will definitely continue to use her!!”
“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.”
“Alex and his family took great care of our extremely high energy dog. She went for walks, played with other dogs, and came home exhausted. Alex sent lots of pictures and updates too. Thank you!”
“Rose took excellent care of our golden retriever during a stressful family event where we couldn’t take Poppy with us. Rose was excellent at communicating with us-sending great photos of our girl enjoying her time away from us. Poppy came home well fed, well loved, happy and very tired! Would definitely trust Rose with Poppy again! Thank you!”
“Becca went above and beyond to take care of our dog blue while we were on vacation. Blue was boarding with Becca and her husband at their place. They would make Blue delicious, nutritious food everyday. The pure excitement in blue’s eyes when he sees the food shows in the pictures Becca send us regularly. We get multiple updates of blue everyday with tons of pictures. Becca and her husband even took blue to Ithaca falls and let him play in the water. Blue got exercised more than we asked for. Blue had problems with allergies during his stay with Becca, but they took good care of blue: wiping his paws after every walk, and feeding him medication hided in a cheese wrap everyday. If you want someone that’s attentive, treats your dog like their own dog, goes above and beyond to meet the individual needs of your dog, and send you updates constantly without you even needing to ask, choose Becca! My boyfriend and I are so grateful for Becca and her husband’s effort in taking care of Blue. They are the ones that made us relaxed enough to enjoy our vacation - knowing that blue is in good hands. She made it feel like that our dog was on his little vexation too.”

“Our bulldog Leia had an amazing time! She played a ton in the huge, fenced-in yard and seemed to be very well cared for and received a lot of personal attention. We received a lot of nice updates with photos and videos. She was very tired when she got home which is great! We hope to have Leia stay with Robert and Eileen again when we travel in the future.”

“Max is wonderful. She looked after our three cats over the holiday break, and I came back to 3 happy, healthy cats, as well as an immaculately clean house. I had to change plans a couple of times, and Max was totally accommodating of my chaos! Communication was excellent, and Max is just generally a great person.”
“Rachel has been great for watching our 2 cats! She is very responsive to our messages, gives our cats some playtime, and sends us cute photos of them! Would recommend her to a friend.”
About: Hello, I am an active individual who likes being out in nature and exploring the local outdoor areas. I would enjoy the opportunity to help care for your pet and would enjoy the company as well. I am employed full time as a PhD student at Cornell and am seeking a side job that I could enjoy as much as my current job. I live by myself in a quiet, smoke-free home with no other animals or children. I am in a pedestrian-friendly area with excellent scenery for walking. Because much of my work schedule is flexible, I will have time throughout the day to take care and spend time with your pet. I also have more availability on weekends. As an animal lover, I like to interact with dogs through play (tossing a ball, playing tug-of-war with a toy, running around outside) and relaxing with them and giving them pets.
“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: While you're away, rest assured that your dog and home are in excellent hands... I take care of both. You'll receive photos and updates, and your pet will enjoy walks, fresh water, meals, belly rubs, playtime, and more. No stress for you, and no stress for your furry friend, who will continue their routine as usual. I would love to meet you and your dog, get to know their environment, and see if we're a good fit. I have lifelong experience with dogs, including my 16-year companion, Jack, now gone, always in my heart... I understand the importance of peace of mind when traveling, knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. A happy pup means a happy owner, and peace of mind is priceless. I primarily work from home... I create my schedule based on needs and have flexibility throughout the day... it is a no-brainer to do this. I only provide drop-in visits and house sits... for your convenience and that of your dog or cat. Peace of mind for you, and your fur baby.

“I dropped my dog off for daycare with Roxanne and she was great! She sent me multiple pictures throughout the day as well as updates on how she was doing. This was my first experience with Rover and it couldn’t have gone better! So happy to know that I now have a go-to sitter whenever I need one! Highly recommend!!”
“I cannot overstate what a lifesaver Jennifer was on our vacation. We had an air BNB that allowed dogs, but not unattended and were visiting friends with a cat who turned out to be dog phobic. We booked Jennifer the day before we left and she was so welcoming and flexible with pick up and drop off times and with her extensive kennel hours. My dog loved her own special vacation; with puppy playtime and hiking in the woods. She came home relaxed and super tired! The true marker of her own good review, was how happy she was to go back the next day! Thanks, Jennifer :)”
“Maxine and Kyle are the sweetest, most lovely pair! They took amazing care of my dog and were very professional, responsive, and flexible with my plans. I would highly recommend them!”
“Mimi had an unbelievable day with Kelly and another dog. Kelly was very attentive and considerate doggy sitter. She kept our dog busy outdoors and indoors. Mimi had a blast of a day. Kelly kept us in the know throughout Mimi's stay with regular photos and messages. A fact that let enjoy our visit to Corning knowing that dog is in good hands .”
“My dog had a fabulous time at daycare with Mikia, her daughter and her dog Zara. I received some great photos (including some funny ones of the dogs wrestling) and felt comfortable knowing the dog was having a good time, socializing and burning off her adolescent energy while I was at work. Highly recommend!”
“Spencer did an amazing job taking care of our dog. Spencer is very friendly and a nice person! We received great updates throughout the day along with plenty of adorable photos. Our dog looked happy, relaxed, and well cared for the entire time. Spencer took her on a good walk, made sure she had water and breaks, and treated her like one of his own. We felt completely at ease knowing she was in such good hands. We will definitely book again! Five stars.”
About: I absolutely love all dogs, any size and breed. I was a foster parent for a local animal rescue before I had my youngest daughter. My family and I have owned many dogs during my life. Currently my family does not have any dogs. I have always treated my dogs like a member of my family, without 'spoiling' them. Any specific requests, or needs I will certainly listen to them without question. I have a very flexible work schedule, and can provide any service that you are looking for. The only thing I will not be able to do is overnight stays since I have young children. I’m currently working part time from home, and can be available whenever I am needed! I am available for boarding and visits on the weekends! I have a dog kennel and can take them for walks if needed. If they need to be crated, I am able to do that as well.
“Kathy and Tim were wonderful! They have a beautiful home tucked into the woods, and a shady fenced in area for dogs to play. They were welcoming, and took good care of my dog Roni. Roni spent the day with Tim and Kathy, and loved playing with their dog Bailey. I hope to become a regular customer! Do not hesitate to bring your pup to stay with Kathy and Tim!”
“Our puppy loves it at Laura’s house! She loves playing with the other dogs in daycare and she never wants to leave. We are happy to have found Laura to help us care for our young pup!”
“I am working out of town and Caterina has been a god send for letting me take my puppy with me during the week. She is tucked away in the country with lots of walks and interactions with other doggy friends, which my girl loves. Highly recommend!”
“Amanda was great! Winter was crazy and happy as usual when I picked her up from daycare with Amanda so it looked like she had a good time there and was a tired girl on the way home.”
About: I work shiftwork in a hospital and dogsit on my days off due to my love of dogs (and to fulfill the urge of getting a second dog!). Our home includes myself, my husband, and our friendly female bernese mountain dog Berkeley. No kids or other pets. We are comfortable with dogs of all breeds and activity levels. We only host one dog at a time so your dog will get all the attention. There is a fenced yard in a calm/quiet neighborhood. For multiple night boarding, would prefer arranging a meeting before booking to ensure it is a mutual good fit. Feel free to reach out for any additional details. Our schedules revolve around our dog Berkeley so your dog will get just as much personalized attention. My husband and I only host dogs when I am off of work/there are few other plans so your dog will rarely be left unattended Our home is spacious and there is a fenced yard so plenty of room for your dog and our dog Berkeley. You are welcome to provide a crate but we don't require dogs to be crated at our home.

“Angela was totally amazing. This was my first time trusting anyone other than family with my babies and Angela made it so easy. She communicated with me daily sending pictures and updates and my dogs loved her. I will definitely be asking her to come again in the future.”
“Cate did a great job helping take care of my pup while I was out of town. She was on time for my dogs walks, and I always got pics and a written description of what happened on the walk which was very reassuring. I will definitely continue using Cate for dog walking!”

About: I always loved having pets growing up. I grew up in the country so we had a lot of space for animals to be able to run around and be outside. Dogs, cats, birds...practically every creature you can imagine. Currently I have a cat of my own, and a friend’s dog who I watch fairly regularly. It works out well because I’m a very active person who likes to get outside as much as possible—hiking when the weather permits and bringing him along with me. This is in part due to my ever-changing, flexible schedule. I have a few set shifts during the week, but for the most part I make my own hours and I have time to be available pretty much whenever I am needed!
About: Hi, my name is Lydia! Over the last five years, I’ve been pet-sitting and house-sitting for friends and family. I offer house-sitting and drop-in visit services, and I am happy to provide any other service your pet(s) might be in need of! I recently graduated college and I have more than enough time to pet-sit and house-sit, or to complete drop-in visits and take your pups on walks! I am a very chill and very tidy person, so I will not leave your house or yard a mess. I am happy to provide light housekeeping services as needed or requested, and I am comfortable staying overnight and will dutifully follow any rules or boundaries you may set for me. I will ensure your pets are fed, walked, and / or bathed according to their routine schedule. I love to take long walks if your dogs prefer longer walks, and I have experience with rowdier, larger pups as well. I also absolutely adore cats and love taking care of them!

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.

“Jennifer's place was a haven for dogs who love to have easy access to the outdoors. My dog Kodi is 13 and now has some digestive challenges now. He's pretty cranky for a 9-pound ball of fluff and Jennifer kept him happy and exercised with multiple walks per day and lots of chances to explore outside. Kodi can be avoidant or sometimes fearful of larger dogs, but he seemed at ease interacting with the other pups he met during his stay. Jennifer was super flexible and accommodating, thank you!!”
