“Such an amazing sitter! We got sooo many photos and constant updates which was fantastic. Leia played in the big fenced in yard and cuddled on the couch and seemed to have a blast. Unfortunately she had an accident in the middle of the night (so sorry!!) and Alex was so nice and good about it. We hope to have Leia come back 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!”
“Destiny provided excellent care for my dog. It was the first time I left him and on top of it I had to be away a week. Jack (my dog) seemed happy when I picked him up. I would highly recommend Destiny. ”
“Minnie loves her stays with ‘Steve and the gang’! I prefer to leave my Cavapoo puppy in the care of Steve over friends and family members. I know she is in the best possible care with him!”
“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.”
“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.”
“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!”
“These three are educated and thoughtful enough to make pet owners who are nervous, apprehensive, and even sad about leaving their fur babies feel comfortable. This dynamic is really special for pups, more like a social outing. We received pictures of our pup enjoying light training, playing with new puppy friends, and relaxing in complete comfort. My husband and I were sad dropping her off for the weekend and ended up being able to complete enjoy our weekend getaway because of Aaron, Kaylee, and Valerie.”
“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.”
“Megan and her family took such great care of our pup, Remy. We got consistent and meaningful updates on how Remy was doing during the 9 day booking. It was very evident she was treated like family the entire time. We will definitely be booking with Megan again!”
“Charlene was amazing! She was so sweet with my dog, Gus, sending photos of him cuddling with her and her partner every day. I would definitely leave Gus with Charlene again in the future.”
“Mary is great. Huey had such a good time. She sent daily updates with pictures and you can tell she really loves animals. I will definitely bring him here in the future. It is so much better than keeping him in a kennel somewhere. Mary made him a part of her family. I wish I could give more than 5 stars.”

“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!”
“Sarah was awesome! She spoiled my pup while I was away for a few days. She asked very comforting questions to ensure he was taken care of. Would definitely recommend to anyone needing a dog sitter!”

“Emalee took such great care of my cats. She went above and beyond to tend to my older cat who has been having more accidents lately. We felt so much more at ease on our trip knowing Emalee was there!”
“I highly recommend Abby if you are seeking responsible, loving and reliable care for your pet. Abby followed instructions and took an interest in my kitty. She sent daily photographs and communicated consistently. I will definitely book Abby again.”
“Ariana was fantastic! She was extremely communicative and gave very detailed updates. My cat is very shy around new people and she was very accommodating of this. She made sure to ask me lots of questions so that she could make my cat as comfortable as possible, which I greatly appreciated. I would definitely book with Ariana again.”
“Alicia provided excellent pet care for our cats in her home. She had a special cat room where they stayed and it had ample toys to play with. Her love for animals was obvious and she gave our cats. Excellent care attention. Thank you so much!”
“Candyse was such an amazing help over the holidays while we were traveling. She checked on our cat while we were away and gave great updates on him each time, even sending us photos each time. She went above and beyond in helping us out. I would highly recommend Candyse to watch your pet.”
About: My very first pet of my own is my beautiful calico cat, Nala. I love her beyond words and I would treat your fur baby just how I would want someone to care for mine! I have been cat sitting for over 10 years, as one of my very first jobs was watching my neighbors cat while they were on vacation. She was diabetic so I had to give insulin and make sure she was feeling okay without her mom and dad around. There’s nothing too weird or crazy I won’t do to make your pet feel loved and cared for while you’re away! Don’t hesitate to ask.
“I had a great experience! Rachel stopped by to feed my cats while I was away, and everything went perfectly. Rachel followed all instructions, sent updates, and made sure my cats were happy and comfortable. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. Highly recommend!”
“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.”
“Colleen was very responsive to all messages and came out very early to keep my cats on their regular feeding schedule. They all have very specific food needs and she did a good job ensuring that they were receiving the right food and mixing in enough water. She left good feedback as well to make sure their eating habits were in line with normal. She also was able to get close enough to our shyest cat to send a photo at every visit.”
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.
“Such a great experience and a wonderful caring human to watch over our fur babies! Sent lots of updates while we were away and followed all of the care instructions for our cats. Thank you so much. 100% recommend!”
About: Although I have never owned a cat of my own, I absolutely love cats and look forward to caring for yours. I have experience caring for shelter cats, where I helped meet their daily needs, including feeding, providing fresh water, cleaning their spaces, playing with them, and giving them attention and affection. As a pre-veterinary student with experience working in a veterinary office, I understand the importance of being patient, gentle, and attentive to each cat’s individual personality and routine.
“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.”
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.
“Rachel took excellent care of my cat! She was very friendly and stellar at communicating: she always kept me in the loop about my kitty. I recommend working with Rachel; next time I need pet care, I'll ask her first.”

“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!”
“Ashley and Brian took extra special care of Stella...who has never attended daycare. Their dogs were welcoming and they kept notes on her day and sent me an update on how she was doing within an hour of drop off. We couldn't be happier with how they took care of her and will be leaving her there again soon, as we are preparing Stella for a longer term stay while we vacation in September. We love that Ashley and Brian have a large fenced in back yard. We love that they make Stella feel like part of their family.”
“We were in town for a few days needing last minute doggie daycare and Laura’s place was exactly what my dog needed! My pup got to socialize with others and came home happy, fed, and non-stressed. We will definitely use Laura again next time we are in Ithaca!”
“Susan was great helping out my maltese as we needed a sitter for the day. She was attentive and send us picture of our dog. Excellent at communicating and big thanks for taking care of our dog.”
“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.”

“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!”
“Claudia is so sweet with my dog Sheldon! He loves getting to spend the day with her when I have long workdays. She sends so many photos and videos of their day together! I feel so happy knowing I have someone as sweet as her to leave him with!”
“Our dog loved his stay with Rocio and Juan. I’m pretty sure he would haves like to stay longer! He was so tired after his visit, he fell asleep right away. They clearly gave him plenty of exercise and attention! My first experience on Rover and it was a great one. Thank you!”
“Katelynn was very flexible to timing of dropping off and picking up our dogs as we were vacationing and not always sure of our timing so she was really great about that. My fur babies can be a bit demanding but Katelynn reported they had settled down for her. I would definitely use Katelynn again in future if needed and in the area again.”
About: I have taken care of my own dogs and family members dogs growing up. My family loves to take care of dogs. We will care for your dog like we would our own. I have 4 kids(1-16) so the dog must be good with small children. I do work during the week. Someone is home during the summer and school breaks. We are available most weekends and can try to accommodate your pets needs! My husband and I both work in the school system so we are reliable and good people :) We live in a quiet neighborhood. I have two levels of our house and the dog is welcome to the entire house. We love to go on walks!

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 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.

And I do not put them in cages or leave them alone.
“This was my dog's first time with a Rover sitter. Lorinda did her best to get him settled. She understood he was not wanting to be social. She got her chair and stayed by him while he was in her fenced area. Couldn't ask for more.”

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.

About: I am a newly college graduate currently on a full-time job hunt, but would love to put my animal care skills to work while I search! My mother has her own pet-care business so I’ve grown up around animals my whole life, and have always helped her in caring for them. I’d love to care for your pet! As I am still on the hunt for a full-time job, pet care fits into nearly any day/time of the week currently. Please message me to work out specifics! I unfortunately cannot take pets into my own home, but I would love to care for your pet in your home. I offer walking services and any other pet-sitting needs for your home.
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!

“Such an amazing sitter! We got sooo many photos and constant updates which was fantastic. Leia played in the big fenced in yard and cuddled on the couch and seemed to have a blast. Unfortunately she had an accident in the middle of the night (so sorry!!) and Alex was so nice and good about it. We hope to have Leia come back 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!”
“Destiny provided excellent care for my dog. It was the first time I left him and on top of it I had to be away a week. Jack (my dog) seemed happy when I picked him up. I would highly recommend Destiny. ”
“Minnie loves her stays with ‘Steve and the gang’! I prefer to leave my Cavapoo puppy in the care of Steve over friends and family members. I know she is in the best possible care with him!”
“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.”
“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!”
“Megan and her family took such great care of our pup, Remy. We got consistent and meaningful updates on how Remy was doing during the 9 day booking. It was very evident she was treated like family the entire time. We will definitely be booking with Megan again!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all ages, breeds, and temperaments, with different energy levels and needs for decades. I’ve volunteered for rescues and fostered puppies and seniors. I am comfortable administering meds, giving baths, working on manners, caring for reactive pups, and will go out of my way to meet your dog’s needs. My flexible schedule gives me plenty of time for long walks and playing with pups on both weekdays and weekends (yes, I am very lucky). I will follow your instructions carefully to make sure that your pet is happy and safe. A pet’s safety is always my number one priority.
“Claudio is extraordinary. We feel so comfortable with her keeping our dog at her home (or our home), and she provided such an enriched environment during his stay. Dog buddies, affection, games, and play! We are so grateful for her help when we have to travel.”
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.

Whether your pup needs a fun walk, some playtime, a little extra attention, or simply a calm companion while you’re away, I’m here to make sure they feel happy and loved. 🐶💗 I’m attentive to details, reliable, patient, and always willing to follow your pet’s specific routine and instructions. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and little check-ins so you don’t have to wonder how your furry friend is doing! Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness come first.

“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.”
“Dana took great care of Loki on our long trip away! He got a little stomach upset (typical for him with routine/environment changes) and she was very attentive, communicative, and helped get him back on track. Everything was really smooth, and Loki always comes back happy & calm :)”
