“Alex took great care of our elderly dog Dudley. He spent 4 days with Alex and his family and came home relaxed and in great condition, having apparently spent his time lounging around on a variety of comfy couches with companions and enjoying the wood stove. (Alex sent us daily pictures.) Alex has a lot of great outdoor space for an active dog, but his home also works well for the aspiring heat-seeking couch potato.”
“Caterina proved to be the perfect sitter for my senior dog Max. She sent updates and it was evident that she truly cares about what she does. Max came home happy and energetic—not always the case with some boarding kennels. I cannot recommend her more highly, and Max and I look forward to his staying with her again.”
“Very pleased with Steve's service. It's apparent he takes his job seriously and felt my dog was well cared for. Steve wanted to make sure my energetic Australian Shepherd would be a good fit for an extended stay so he suggested to do a trial day/overnight. I appreciated his foresight!!”
“During the introduction meeting Carolina and her family were all so welcoming and kind and Carolina was obviously on point professionally so I was completely comfortable with leaving Onyx with them. The appointment went very smoothly and I highly recommend her to anyone needing a dog-sitter.”
“Ashley was absolutely amazing! She and her husband, Brian, took such good care of our girl. She got so much attention and was always so happy. We got daily elaborated updates with plenty of pictures. They listened to all our concerns and treated her like one of their dogs. They were so considerate and made the separation so much easier for us. We had a medical emergency and had to delay our return and without skipping a bit they agreed to take care for a few more days and even went above and beyond and got her the food that she needs. We returned to find her so happy and healthy and we will definitely leave her with them again!”
“Arya lives in the country with plenty of space. I like that my dog was in the house versus in a barn as she gets cold. My dog loves other dogs so it was great that Arya had 7 other dogs for her to socialize with. She was walked often and I received several videos. I like that he has an enclosed barn where she could run off leash as her breed needs a lot of exercise. I hope in the future she will be able to play with Arya’s dogs off leash in the barn or an enclosed fenced off area.”
“Mary is amazing! She watched our dog Atlas while we were on a cruise and it looked like he was having so much fun. She kept us updated with pictures and even sent him home with a new toy and Christmas ornament when we picked him up. We will definitely be asking her to watch him again.”
“Dora now has a GRANDMA! Her name is Charlene & Mistress Dora LOVES her! (Dora likes Rick as well) She had do much fun playing at Charlene's! Grandma Charlene takes care of her pups as if they were her own. She also sends daily pics, upon request. When I couldn't drop Dora off, Charlen & Rick popped right over to collect Dora & ALL her stuff. They both followed my written instructions which ensured Dora had a safe & loving stay.”
“Friendly, open, took the time to show me her house so I felt comfortable leaving my special girl there overnight. Excellent communication and picture updates. I felt very much at ease knowing my pup was being cared for. I will absolutely use Chantal again!”
“Susan is incredible and I'm so glad to have found someone my very anxious dog can feel comfortable with when I'm gone. Susan kept me updated (with pictures when Jade would cooperate) regularly and was kind and patient, even when Jade decided to turn up the dramatics. Would absolutely recommend for anyone with an anxious dog who needs a little extra love and care!”
“Bee was a very nice and welcoming dog sitter! She has a very friendly dog, a huge beautiful yard and home that was perfect for my Mastiff to play in. She took notes on my feeding routines, sent pics during the stay and responds quickly to messages for any questions or concerns. She has a great connection with dogs that made my dog feel right at home and I'd definitely use her service in the future.”
“We were so thankful that Kellyanne was available for us last minute, especially since our boy Odin had recently been dealing with a leg injury. She was so accommodating and made sure we were comfortable, as it was also our first time boarding him. Would definitely recommend Kellyanne!”
“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!”
“Andrea and her family were absolutely wonderful to our elderly pup during his first stay with them. They were extremely attentive to his behavior and needs, and totally proactive in sending me photos and reports on his stay. When I arrived to pick him up, I could see how well they had connected with him through their warmth and kindness. We are very grateful to them and already looking forward to his next visit!”
“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.”
“Booked last minute and was very accommodating. I needed a day sitter for my 2 labs and received pictures/ updates thought the day. My dogs had a great day and were well cared for. Would definitely recommend and book again in the future.”
About: I can't wait to meet your doggies! We’ve rescued a few bulldogs in the past and I am comfortable taking care of dogs with special needs but love all kinds. We currently have 2 senior fur babies, and a young Chihuahua. I have pet sit for friends and family and am excited to make new furry friends.

If your dog loves car rides, like mine does I am happy to bring them on adventures. I have lots of toys to play with! I am happy to host dogs in my home or go to them. Any dogs that stay with me can be kept with my dogs or separated.
“As always, our boys Richard and Philip had an incredible time staying with Robert and Eileen! They got lots of exercise in the big fenced yard, despite the tundra-like conditions, and we got detailed updates every day with cute photos and videos. Richard even learned to fetch! Robert and Eileen are gems, and I would leave them a 10 star review if I had the option!”

About: I’ve owned cats my whole life. My current cat is a sassy senior tortie named Queen. I'm well versed in reading body language through ears and tail. I have lots of experience with senior cats with health conditions; managing pet prescriptions and special diets. I'm comfortable administering medications if needed. In the past, I’ve taken care of my parent's diabetic asthmatic cat by giving her insulin injections daily as well as using an inhaler on her. Animal rescue is my biggest passion! When I was growing up, my mother fostered many cats and kittens for the SPCA. That is where my love of cats began; helping mom take care of the fosters as a young child. I recognize that every pet has a different personality and different needs. I look forward to discussing your pet's needs.
“I can't say enough good things about Johnna. This was my first time having Johnna pet sit for my dog and three casts. She sent me several pictures of the pets and wrote informative reviews of how they were doing. Johnna walked Flossy, my dog each day. She was meticulous in terms of picking up after the animals. When I returned I found the house in order. Johnna is pleasant to work with. I highly recommend her.”
“DelilahaLynn Was absolutely wonderful. She took care of my elderly cat and sent me wonderful pictures of him. Our trip ended up being extended, and she absolutely had no problem with taking care of him for a few more days. I will absolutely book her again when I go on my next trip. I believe you can trust your fur babies in her care.”
“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”
About: About Me & Experience 🐱💛 Hi!! I’m a 30-year-old elementary school teacher and a huge animal lover—especially when it comes to cats 💛 I grew up on a farm, so caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. I’ve had experience pet sitting for multiple families, including homes with both dogs and cats. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, litter box care, playtime, and making sure each pet gets the attention they need. I also understand that every cat is different—some are playful and social, while others are more shy and independent—and I always take a gentle, patient approach to help them feel safe and comfortable. As a teacher, I’m very patient, responsible, and trustworthy. Families trust me every day with their children, and I bring that same level of care and dependability when looking after pets. I’m happy to follow detailed care instructions to keep your cat’s routine consistent and stress-free. I will treat your cat like they’re my own and make sure they feel relaxed, cared for, and loved while you’re away. ⸻ A Little Extra 🐾 I love sending updates, pictures, and little check-ins so you always feel at ease 😊
“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: There has been a cat in my home every day for as long as I can remember. I'm no stranger to a feline friend. I currently have four cats of my own, two that I intentionally adopted and two that were gifts of the cat distribution system. My eldest cat now takes medication twice daily, so I'm also familiar and comfortable with handling senior kitties and medication needs.
About: The picture I have set is actually my own cat King Zoro! That’s my mini bestie. I have had experience with lots of cats throughout my life. Also giving my cat eye drops, bathing and grooming him so he can feel his best! I prefer cats that are easier going but am willing to be around other personalities too.

“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!”
“They welcomed both my dogs with open arms. One is a dog that is a little stand off-ish with new people and places but they were patient with him. And the other is a young puppy and they did not have an issue with the "puppy behaviors". I worked a very long day and I was so happy to have them be able to watch them. The dogs were nice and tired when I picked them up and they even got some nice goodies.”
“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!”
“Our dog was nervous at first with being in a new situation. But he immediately took to Destiny. She has a wonderful way with dogs, very gentle and caring. She later let us know that he had settled in nicely. It seems he had a great day - came home tired in a good way. We hope to call on Destiny again.”
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!
“Susan kept in touch with me on my dog's first day care try. My dog did not get along with the other dog, so she kept them separated until I could get there to pick my dog up. Susan was very patient with him and kept him company. The problem was my dog and I will contact her again for a solo stay.”
“Chantal is a fabulous rover who always takes such sweet care of my puppy. He absolutely loves her and warmed up to her within minutes at our meet and greet. Chantal follows directions and provides great care with updates. Kind, intuitive, and nurturing she provided excellent care while my puppy recovered from a stomach bug. He gets excited every time we pull up to her home and happily awaits weekly visits. Great rover reliable and sincere, she completely turned our Rover experience around after a negative experience with a different Rover the first time we used the app. Repeat customer, we can always count on Chantal to offer amazing services.”
“Kathryn and Jared have been great with our pittie. They've gone the extra mile to make our girl feel welcome, and now after 4 visits she is running to the door of their house when we get there. I recommend Kathryn and Jared whole heartedly. We look forward to having them watch our girl while we are on vacation.”
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 have a small dog, an indoor piggy, and a caged bird. I have grown up with pets, and always make sure they are properly taken care of. I love all animals, and strive to provide them the best stay possible. I am currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to spend with the fur babies! I enjoy walking in the morning and evening, and if your pup enjoys that they can tag along! The animals will be taken care of just as my own. My dog is spoiled, and loves to snuggle. She’s is not aggressive towards other dogs, she just prefers humans. The animals are allowed on furniture and allowed to sleep in bed with Charlie and myself; as my home is their home for the duration of their stay!
“Ashley and her husband were great. They were very responsive to questions, went above and beyond to update me throughout the daycare process, and also spoiled my dogs with a pool and so much attention. Thank you both for helping my family out while we were moving!”
About: I've had dogs my entire life from puppies to rescues! I've also been a grooming salon manager in Ithaca for 9 years. I've cared for many different breeds, ages, temperaments, and quirks all dogs have and I love them all the same. I have two dogs of my own Luke and Yoda. Luke is a 6 year old lab mix around 35 lbs. He is very loving and playful. Yoda is a 5 year old miniature fox terrier mix who has unlimited energy and is the sweetest snuggler. I am home all day with my baby and two dogs of my own so I can give the same care to some extra dogs! I treat every dog as if they are my own. I have lots of extra blankets to make sure they have there own space (i do recommend to bring some of there stuff like blankets, beds, and toys to make them more comfortable) and have extra room to separate them if they need to be alone. I will always make sure they are comfortable, happy, loved, and safe!
“Kyle took excellent care of my elderly Maltese, Sammy. It was a relief that he was able to take care of Sammy on short notice and give my skittish dog a calm place to stay. He always responded quickly to messages and sent me a picture of Sammy each day. I would happily let him watch Sammy again if we come back to Ithaca.”
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!

Always open for requests, and again, will consider on a case by case basis.
“Erin was great with Baxter - he loved going on walks with her! Erin is easy to work with and is good at responding to questions and changes in schedule. She’s very friendly and responsible! We’ll definitely book her again in the future!”
“Colleen is excellent. She took great care of my puppy. She noticed a sore/ hotspot and arranged for us to get in to see her vet the same day and even volunteered to take him if my schedule didn’t allow.”

About: I've taken care of dogs of all breeds, ages, and personalities for a large portion of my life - from when I was a kid in Jersey until last year, when my sweet and challenging pit bull, Hudson passed away. The fourteen years I spent with him taught me everything I could possibly want to know about how to care for a dog. I love and miss him so. I'm not in a position to adopt a new dog of my own yet, but spending time with yours would be the next best thing! I have a part-time job at a local artist residency with flexible hours. I have my own car and am available for multiple services at various times each day of the week. I have a fenced in yard and a large dog crate, 2 dog beds, and plenty of toys. I'm an extremely trustworthy person and would treat any client's home with the utmost respect and care. I'm an active runner and would love to take your dog for hikes and walks with me.
About: I've always been a dog owner since I was a young girl. I would watch/ walk my neighbors and family's dogs whenever they needed me to. I am thorough and patient especially when it comes to our furry friends. I currently work from home, so I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide attentive care, regular walks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I live in a community with lots of sidewalks and have a small front and backyard. Your dog will get plenty of love, attention, and playtime while in my care.
About: I’ve taken care of lots of pets over the years. I enjoy being around animals and showing them love because they do the same for us! I have a genuine love for taking care of things if I can help it and I’m going to school to even become a nurse. I also started a house plant hobby. Taking care of things is just in my blood. I’m available more in the evenings . My schedule is flexible but inconsistent because I’m part time at my jobs but we can discuss availability if you book me to take care of your pet(s)! I have a fenced in back yard and just one cat. I’m able to keep them separated if needed. I also have my own home and it’s a smoke free one! I’m very clean and clean my home daily. I let my cat on the couches so yours will be allowed the same if they are not dirty of course.

About: Hi! My name is Brooklin, and animals have been a huge part of my life for over 18 years. I have hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, breeds, and personalities. I previously worked with the Charleston Animal Society, where I gained valuable experience caring for animals and understanding their individual needs. My background has given me the skills to provide safe, reliable, and compassionate care for your pets while you're away. I am comfortable administering medications when needed and have experience monitoring pets' health, feeding schedules, water intake, bathroom habits, and overall well-being. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a calm and relaxed environment, I strive to make them feel comfortable, loved, and stress-free. I understand that every pet is unique, and I take the time to learn their routines, preferences, and personalities. My goal is to treat every animal as if they were my own and provide pet parents with peace of mind through dependable care and communication. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! At the moment I have a full time job, but have weekends off. I plan to entail doing this on my weekends and even after work days. This is more then just making it my routine. I adore animal(s). I have a fenced in yard, I as well have a crate. Plenty of opportunities for walking adventures. I enjoy going to the dog park, as well with adventuring outside anywhere with the animal(s). Whatever you set for rules or boundaries I’ll always continue to respect them, and always follow. I enjoy working with animal(s)
“This was my first time using Rover (and the first time having anyone outside of family care for my puppy), and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! I have a young Doberman with a lot of energy, and Arya was patient, calm, and firm in just the right way—which is exactly what she needs. He took her on a nice long walk, and I really appreciated the videos he sent along the way. They gave me peace of mind and made the whole process so much less stressful. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for someone reliable and confident with energetic dogs!”
About: Taking care of pets has always been part of my life. I have a fenced in yard for dogs to run and play. As for walks, I have to active kids who are always willing to take a walk around. I currently work at the local school just minutes from my home. I come home middle of the day. I am home during the summer and on weekends. I have a fenced in yard and one dog who is a big baby. Dogs are allowed to lay wherever they are comfortable but can also crate if they are used to that.
About: Animals (especially dogs!) are my greatest passion in life. I have two dogs of my own that I’ve raised since they were 8 weeks old. They are my entire world! I am knowledgeable in basic dog training and obedience, and very observant and understanding of animal behavior. Nothing brings me more joy and happiness in life than being surrounded by the love and purity of animals. My dream in life is to open a sanctuary for stray dogs. I recently rescued a stray puppy in Puerto Rico and found her a forever loving home in the states, many more rescuing to come! I currently have open availability. I have a very flexible and adaptable schedule and I am open to what works best for you and your pets needs! I love hanging out with your pups and providing them with quality, love and care while you are away! I am a perfectionist and I give out the same level of thorough care that I would want for my own dogs! I tailor my visits according to you and your pups needs, whether that be a nice long walk, fresh food and water, play time or just companionship. I constantly monitor for potential hazards and act accordingly in order to limit any risks.
About: I am a veterinary technician who just loves all animals and spending time with them all day. I am trained in pet cpr. I love to take hikes, take the dogs swimming, plenty of walking, and have a very active lifestyle, so the pups will have plenty of playtime. I have owned many different breeds growing up including wolf dogs, so I have plenty of experience with all breeds. I have plenty of experience with my feline friends too so if you need someone to watch your adorable kitty I would be delighted. Let me help make your fur babies happy! I'm a Mom to a beautiful 5 year old and have most days free! I have an open schedule as of right now and can petsit whenever. I have a nice back yard with plenty of room for them to run around. I own a 3 bedroom house with a spare room for them to stay if needed.
About: While I'm more experienced with cats in my home, I have always been the go-to pet sitter for all friends and family. I appreciate that they get just as excited to go for a w-a-l-k as I do. It helps that my schedule is extremely flexible since I'm a bartender who works odd hours. I can do early mornings, late nights, and a mix of anything you need in between. I'm a bartender, so I am available early mornings, late nights, and a good mix of anything in between. The bar I work at is also closed on Sundays and Mondays, so scheduling on those days is completely flexible. My cats are fairly active, so we spend quite a bit of time playing fetch or hide and seek (cats are so odd). I also take them on bike rides with my bike trailer attachment. I'm also equipped to handle medication needs. I don't crate my cats when I'm not home, so that would have to be provided by the client if there is a requirement for one.
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: I have taken care of various animals! I have been around animals my entire life and I’m trying to find a way to include more animals in my life and help others along the way. My schedule is pretty open! During the summer I enjoy being outdoors which is perfect for your pet (or most!). I will spend as much time as needed! I will not be able to care for pets in my own home but I am willing to travel to homes for pet sitting / walking.

“Alex took great care of our elderly dog Dudley. He spent 4 days with Alex and his family and came home relaxed and in great condition, having apparently spent his time lounging around on a variety of comfy couches with companions and enjoying the wood stove. (Alex sent us daily pictures.) Alex has a lot of great outdoor space for an active dog, but his home also works well for the aspiring heat-seeking couch potato.”
“Caterina proved to be the perfect sitter for my senior dog Max. She sent updates and it was evident that she truly cares about what she does. Max came home happy and energetic—not always the case with some boarding kennels. I cannot recommend her more highly, and Max and I look forward to his staying with her again.”
“Very pleased with Steve's service. It's apparent he takes his job seriously and felt my dog was well cared for. Steve wanted to make sure my energetic Australian Shepherd would be a good fit for an extended stay so he suggested to do a trial day/overnight. I appreciated his foresight!!”
“During the introduction meeting Carolina and her family were all so welcoming and kind and Carolina was obviously on point professionally so I was completely comfortable with leaving Onyx with them. The appointment went very smoothly and I highly recommend her to anyone needing a dog-sitter.”
“Ashley was absolutely amazing! She and her husband, Brian, took such good care of our girl. She got so much attention and was always so happy. We got daily elaborated updates with plenty of pictures. They listened to all our concerns and treated her like one of their dogs. They were so considerate and made the separation so much easier for us. We had a medical emergency and had to delay our return and without skipping a bit they agreed to take care for a few more days and even went above and beyond and got her the food that she needs. We returned to find her so happy and healthy and we will definitely leave her with them again!”
“Arya lives in the country with plenty of space. I like that my dog was in the house versus in a barn as she gets cold. My dog loves other dogs so it was great that Arya had 7 other dogs for her to socialize with. She was walked often and I received several videos. I like that he has an enclosed barn where she could run off leash as her breed needs a lot of exercise. I hope in the future she will be able to play with Arya’s dogs off leash in the barn or an enclosed fenced off area.”
“Friendly, open, took the time to show me her house so I felt comfortable leaving my special girl there overnight. Excellent communication and picture updates. I felt very much at ease knowing my pup was being cared for. I will absolutely use Chantal again!”
“Susan is incredible and I'm so glad to have found someone my very anxious dog can feel comfortable with when I'm gone. Susan kept me updated (with pictures when Jade would cooperate) regularly and was kind and patient, even when Jade decided to turn up the dramatics. Would absolutely recommend for anyone with an anxious dog who needs a little extra love and care!”
“Bee was a very nice and welcoming dog sitter! She has a very friendly dog, a huge beautiful yard and home that was perfect for my Mastiff to play in. She took notes on my feeding routines, sent pics during the stay and responds quickly to messages for any questions or concerns. She has a great connection with dogs that made my dog feel right at home and I'd definitely use her service in the future.”
“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!”
“Andrea and her family were absolutely wonderful to our elderly pup during his first stay with them. They were extremely attentive to his behavior and needs, and totally proactive in sending me photos and reports on his stay. When I arrived to pick him up, I could see how well they had connected with him through their warmth and kindness. We are very grateful to them and already looking forward to his next visit!”
“Booked last minute and was very accommodating. I needed a day sitter for my 2 labs and received pictures/ updates thought the day. My dogs had a great day and were well cared for. Would definitely recommend and book again in the future.”
About: I can't wait to meet your doggies! We’ve rescued a few bulldogs in the past and I am comfortable taking care of dogs with special needs but love all kinds. We currently have 2 senior fur babies, and a young Chihuahua. I have pet sit for friends and family and am excited to make new furry friends. I work a 9-5 remote job, so I have lots of flexibility and my evenings and weekends are free. I love taking my doggies for walks. If your dog loves car rides, like mine does I am happy to bring them on adventures. I have lots of toys to play with! I am happy to host dogs in my home or go to them. Any dogs that stay with me can be kept with my dogs or separated.
“As always, our boys Richard and Philip had an incredible time staying with Robert and Eileen! They got lots of exercise in the big fenced yard, despite the tundra-like conditions, and we got detailed updates every day with cute photos and videos. Richard even learned to fetch! Robert and Eileen are gems, and I would leave them a 10 star review if I had the option!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs for 10 yrs and have owned a cattle dog mix for 6! I’ve fostered and pet sat dogs, cats, and kittens throughout that time. I have experience giving medication, basic training, and am detail oriented when it comes to any special instructions. My priority is following your lead when it comes to what's best for your pet's safety, nurturance, and play! Right now, my care schedule is flexible! I'm available for boarding in my home or pet sitting in yours. I work part-time, two days a week as a direct service provider from my home and 1-2 events per week at Cornell. I'm intentionally staying open so I can spend time at home with my dog and am never away for long! I love taking long walks around my quiet, rural neighborhood or spending time exploring the area. I live in a quiet, rural cottage with a screened in porch, backyard and tie out. My cattle dog mix is super playful and loves other dogs! Happy to also provide care in your home, especially for cats and other animals.
“We’ve always had great experiences using Rover however, Luann went above and beyond anything we could ever imagine. Luann shared pictures of our dog on daily walks, car rides and other doggy adventures throughout the day. Luann is a true pack leader.”
“Ray has taken Oona while I’ve been away twice and both times was great with communication and sending pictures. He was flexible and thoughtful. I’m so happy I’ve found someone I so dependable who I can trust to care for my little girl.”
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!
