AMAZING CARE!! This was the first time we have boarded our 15 month old GSD for more than 1 night, so we obviously wanted to find someone who would be good with her while we were on vacation for 10 days. Arya is not only good with his boarding practices, but he is also fantastic with “reading” dogs and has a deep understanding of them and their individual behaviors/needs. Nika has not been properly socialized because of my neurological condition, and difficulty walking her. She lunges at other dogs and has pulled me over. Arya had this frantic behavior and her “skittish” energy around other dogs diminished by the second day! There were daily videos (often 2-3) of her doing different things (walking, eating, interacting with his 3 dogs, lying in the crate, etc.) Excellent communication, and immediate responses to questions. We will absolutely be using Arya again for boarding, and are also considering training classes!!! Thanks again Arya!!! Nika had fun ?

We'll definitely be returning to Destiny for our puppy sitting needs. She was extremely communicative and sent daily updates including numerous pictures, which not only were adorable but also gave us confidence to not worry about our little guy. Our pup was very happy after we picked him up and we didn't notice any kind of regression in puppy behavior (which we were worried about due to his being 7 months old). We highly recommend Destiny. You're fur baby will be in great hands!

About: I’ve loved and cared for dogs my whole life—from my childhood golden retriever, to my first mini poodle in college, and now my French bulldog puppy. Having a Frenchie has taught me how to care for dogs with sensitive stomachs, skin allergies, and special needs. I cook fresh, balanced meals with real protein and veggies for every meal, and I treat every pup like my own—gentle, patient, and a little spoiled. Whether it’s walks, cuddles, or home-cooked meals, I make sure each dog feels safe, loved, and completely at home. I’m an MBA student at Cornell and have classes about three times a week from Monday to Thursday from 9am to 1pm. My boyfriend is home during the day until I return in the afternoon, so there’s always someone available to care for and walk the pups. We’re both huge dog lovers and spend most weekends at home since I usually have assignments to work on — which means plenty of time for cuddles, walks, and playtime with your furry family member. Your pup’s comfort and safety are my top priorities. I have a French bulldog with sensitive skin and allergies, so I’m extremely careful about hygiene, food, and playtime routines. I also have a bit of OCD when it comes to cleaning — my home is spotless, sanitized daily, and always pet-safe. Every pup has their own cozy, comfortable space to relax, and I can easily follow any feeding or medication instructions. Whether your dog needs fresh meals, extra attention, or a calm environment, they’ll be cared for with the same love and detail I give my own.

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!

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!

About: I happily work with dogs of all sizes and personalities! Dogs with lots of energy, low energy, separation anxiety, or even a bite history are all welcome to work with me, I just have to do housesitting for special cases. I attained purple level (highest level) dog walker at the Tompkins County SPCA. I am trained in dog handling, dog training, and I am very thorough. I have been volunteering at the shelter since January 2019, and I have 10 years of cat care experience. During my dog sitting, I have been able to train dogs different commands including but not limited to heel, sit, down, turn, paw, and roll over. Additionally, I am able to help train your dog to behave on and off leash. If your dog tends to pull at your leash during walks, I can certainly help with that. I can train your dog with aims toward getting them to behave well off-leash and to come to you when called for. I am currently located in Ithaca, NY. I finished my PhD and postdoc at Cornell with focuses in bioinorganic chemistry and bioinformatics. I now work in town as a research engineer at a company that is dog friendly! Please let me know if your pup would benefit from office time. :) I have my own super high energy dog, and we get lots of physical and mental exercise. We go on walks, runs, and lots of play dates. Pets are slowly introduced and treated whenever something positive happens. I do an in-depth discussion with my clients and always do behavioral tests. These tests allow me to see how to best provide support for each pet.

I wish there were an option to leave more than five stars, because Georgia and her dog Wilma went so above and beyond. I had to find a last minute sitter over the holiday weekend, which, without Georgia's responsiveness and flexibility, would have been next to impossible. When I dropped my dog off, I could tell immediately that she was going to have an amazing time. Georgia sent lots of updates while I was away, which was much appreciated. Normally when I pick up my dog after a couple of days away, she's overjoyed to go back home, but this time, she actually seemed bummed to be leaving her new bff Wilma!

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!

Karla is amazing! She watched our four cats while we headed out of town for a week. One of our cats has diabetes and needs extra medical attention per visit and Karla was able to give him the comfort and care he needed, while also engaging and playing with our other kit kats. She was very detailed logging every drop-in and was comfortable asking questions if anything popped up that may have needed attention. She went well above and beyond making sure our cats felt loved and cared for while we were away.

About: *Now available for work starting August 2026! Hello there, I'm Rowan! New to Rover, not to animal care- I'm an artist and animator who takes care of animals on the side. I grew up with a flurry of different pets when I was younger which later led me to attain a lot of experience with all types of critters. Previously I studied animal science and also have experience working at a dog daycare/boarding facility in the past. I work with cats, rodents, and other small animals including fish and reptiles! Animal care comes naturally to me and those who know me have commented on my patience and perception to behavior and social signals from all different types of creatures. I am quick to answer texts and questions and have a flexible schedule. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! I'm working part-time and freelance at the moment, so I have ample time in the week to tend to clients. Look to my current listed schedule for up-to-date details. Cats: I can feed, give medication, and play with them if they're amiable to it. For safety reasons I will not let any cat outside unless you have a trusted, closed in "catio" or the like. Caged small animals: I can feed (legal live food is fine), give medication, clean up enclosures (no deep cleans), and take them out of the cage to play safely. Pets' needs will vary wildly depending on the type of pet you have, so we will work together to figure out what your pet will need while you're away.

About: I'm a huge animal lover and am the friend at the party who loves to hang out with the household pet. I grew up in a dog family and have been caring for our family dogs my entire life. I have experience with elderly dog care, medication (including insulin injections), home made food, diapers, and mobility aids. I have a pup of my own, Lou, who is a corgi Aussie mix who also has a rover dog walker on days I work in person for my corporate job. I have puppysat and done checkins for all of my friends and family over the years. I am currently only offering check in visits and would love to help care for your pup! Whether that's getting some energy out in the yard, playing with some toys inside, administering medication, or making sure your furry friend is fed and watered! I currently work in corporate America but am available for long weekends Friday-Sunday. I work remotely on Fridays with lots of flexibility, and I am completely available Saturday and Sunday. My approach to pet care is always to prioritize you pets comfort and safety. I have taken some training classes for my own dog and believe in the power of positive reinforcement as well as respecting each pet's boundaries. Each animal has such a distinct personality that requires a unique approach to love and play. I am excited to learn your pets personality and earn their trust!

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!

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.

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!

About: I have grown up around dogs my entire love and absolutely love them. I have one small rescue dog of my own who I trained on my own. I spend my weekends at the Cleveland Animal Protective League walking and training all different types of dogs, so I have experience with any type of dog you could think of! I also have my own dog treat business on the side where I make all organic, natural and healthy dog treats and sell them to friends and family. I am very flexible with my availability and want nothing more than to spend some time giving your dog a great walk and some TLC. I have my own car and am free around the clock on weekends and most weekdays. I am comfortable with multiple dogs and have never met an animal I didn't love!

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.

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.

About: I’ve worked at a service dog nonprofit for the past decade and I’ve been a pet owner my whole life! Currently, we have a 4-year old Australian Cattle Dog mix and a 2-year old tabby cat. I know how stressful it can be leaving your fur babies when going on vacation/work but I’m happy to help! I will care for your pets with the same love and attention that I give my own. I have also completed training by the Fear Free Shelter Program. Conveniently, I work remotely (full time) so I am always at home to keep an eye on and care for your fur baby. On weekends, I leave the home briefly to run errands. I have a small fenced yard. Our two pets can provide company to your visiting fur baby. I am also available for daily walks. Ideally, your visiting pet will be crated at night while sleeping and if I ever have to leave the home briefly.

About: For the past 10 years, I've cared for my own pets as well as friends' dogs, gaining hands-on experience across a wide range of needs. I'm comfortable with senior dogs, administering medication, and managing high-energy puppies, along with dogs of every size. I treat every pet with the same patience and attention I'd give my own! Hi! My name is Elena. I am an undergraduate student at SUNY Cortland studying environmental geoscience. I am currently finalizing my fall schedule and once it’s done, I will update my calendar :) I have both a dog and a cat of my own, so I'm comfortable with both species' needs and routines. When caring for clients' pets, I always follow their specific instructions including feeding times, leash habits, crate routines, medications, and any other house rules. Safety and consistency for the pet always come first! :)

About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was 12 years old! My entire live I have had dogs all around me and apart of my family. As I got older I learned more about the importance of animal care. I have pet sit my families dogs many times as well as friends and neighbors. I not only pet sit but walk and run dogs! In high school I actually had a small business where I would take peoples dogs for a run or walk! I work part time and am in my last year of college at Cornell University. I tend to go on walks and runs daily so I would love to have a dog accompany me. I tend to study at home in a friend friendly community so I will have lots of time to care for them. I am very observant and watchful! Being in the science field has allowed me to pay attention to detail, so I take that in to my practice or caring for animals. I truly love dogs so much and have a passion for caring for them!

About: I have taken care of pets since I was six years old, starting with a few fish. Then it developed into lizards, birds, hermit crabs and dogs. I love and care for all and make careful research to provide the best care. Pet care is a wonderful addition to my weekly routines! Walking dogs helps get my steps in and I especially love the longer walks. As a student, my Mondays are busy, but all other days are mostly free except for the late mornings. I keep alarms set at home for when to feed my pets so everyone knows when it’s breakfast and dinner time! Three times a day I will take my dog out for 30-minute to an hour long walk. As a 75lbs husky, my dog loved to pull on the leash but I was able to slowly train him out of that habit. Now he walks beside me and makes walking around the neighborhood a breeze!

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.

AMAZING CARE!! This was the first time we have boarded our 15 month old GSD for more than 1 night, so we obviously wanted to find someone who would be good with her while we were on vacation for 10 days. Arya is not only good with his boarding practices, but he is also fantastic with “reading” dogs and has a deep understanding of them and their individual behaviors/needs. Nika has not been properly socialized because of my neurological condition, and difficulty walking her. She lunges at other dogs and has pulled me over. Arya had this frantic behavior and her “skittish” energy around other dogs diminished by the second day! There were daily videos (often 2-3) of her doing different things (walking, eating, interacting with his 3 dogs, lying in the crate, etc.) Excellent communication, and immediate responses to questions. We will absolutely be using Arya again for boarding, and are also considering training classes!!! Thanks again Arya!!! Nika had fun ?

She was extremely communicative and sent daily updates including numerous pictures, which not only were adorable but also gave us confidence to not worry about our little guy. Our pup was very happy after we picked him up and we didn't notice any kind of regression in puppy behavior (which we were worried about due to his being 7 months old). We highly recommend Destiny.

Rose was great and very easy to deal with. She took great care of our Griff and he loved playing ball and was tired out. I would definetely reccommend her. Very friendly and appreciative and loves animals.

We had a lovely experience with Andrea! She was very easy to coordinate with and responded to communications promptly, and we returned to a happy and relaxed dog. Thank you 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!

About: I happily work with dogs of all sizes and personalities! Dogs with lots of energy, low energy, separation anxiety, or even a bite history are all welcome to work with me, I just have to do housesitting for special cases. I attained purple level (highest level) dog walker at the Tompkins County SPCA. I am trained in dog handling, dog training, and I am very thorough. I have been volunteering at the shelter since January 2019, and I have 10 years of cat care experience. During my dog sitting, I have been able to train dogs different commands including but not limited to heel, sit, down, turn, paw, and roll over. Additionally, I am able to help train your dog to behave on and off leash. If your dog tends to pull at your leash during walks, I can certainly help with that. I can train your dog with aims toward getting them to behave well off-leash and to come to you when called for. I am currently located in Ithaca, NY. I finished my PhD and postdoc at Cornell with focuses in bioinorganic chemistry and bioinformatics. I now work in town as a research engineer at a company that is dog friendly! Please let me know if your pup would benefit from office time. :) I have my own super high energy dog, and we get lots of physical and mental exercise. We go on walks, runs, and lots of play dates. Pets are slowly introduced and treated whenever something positive happens. I do an in-depth discussion with my clients and always do behavioral tests. These tests allow me to see how to best provide support for each pet.

I wish there were an option to leave more than five stars, because Georgia and her dog Wilma went so above and beyond. I had to find a last minute sitter over the holiday weekend, which, without Georgia's responsiveness and flexibility, would have been next to impossible. When I dropped my dog off, I could tell immediately that she was going to have an amazing time. Georgia sent lots of updates while I was away, which was much appreciated. Normally when I pick up my dog after a couple of days away, she's overjoyed to go back home, but this time, she actually seemed bummed to be leaving her new bff Wilma!

Chantal was amazing with my pets! She kept me updated the entire time and made me feel at ease while they were in her care. They came back happy and well taken care of. I would absolutely book with her again!

We are so grateful to Maxine! She took care of our pup on short notice when we had an emergency. Archie had a great time and we were relieved he was taken care of while we were away.

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.
