“I can’t thank Joan and Tim enough for taking my dogs while we were at my daughters wedding for a long weekend. She was so attentive and gave me many updates and made it so I can be worry free. I appreciate them so much.”
“Mickey was great. She made Beasley feel very comfortable and treated him like one of the family. She even bought him a sweater that she let us keep while we were gone because it got very cold out. He not only loved her but he also made a couple new friends at her house. Sunny and Sylvester were great companions for him during his stay. We will definitely be calling Mickey for future travels when Beasley needs a place to stay.”
“HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! WILL DEFINITELY BE A REPEAT CUSTOMER! We couldn’t have been more appreciative with the care Erika provided taking care of our young puppy for the 5 days we were away. Erika’s pup Huxley was the perfect play mate for our pup to feel right at home and to help burn off energy. Erika was very easy to communicate with and sent us updates multiple times a day with how our pup was doing.”
“Jenn and Brian were wonderful with Mika. They treated her as she was one of their own. Spoiling her with treats, love and affection. I would highly recommend booking with them.”
“Jackie made it possible to leave on a 2 week vacation. All 3 of our dogs were well taken care of. Jackie did everything we asked. We will definitely ask Jackie to take care of our family again. Thank you”
“At first I was skeptical about using Rover to find someone to care for my German Shepherd that I just adopted and because of moving reasons I needed a place for him to be until my place was ready. I came across Jin, and she was immediately available, and I couldn't be more lucky to have found such an amazing human been, she took care of my Tony so good, with constant pictures and follow ups about his activities. I will only use her services to care for my dog. She us the best. Thank you so much for taking care my big baby tony.??”
“Denae and Mark were wonderful hosts for our dog, Cooper. Denae was a great communicator and provided us photos and messages to let us know how Cooper was doing during his brief weekend stay. We will be using them again!”
About: I have been taking care of animals for as long as I can remember and have been pet-sitting since age 10 for family, friends, and neighbors. I have almost always lived with at least one cat or dog (or both!) throughout my life. I also have experience caring for rabbits, ferrets, gerbils, fish, parakeets, bearded dragons, and cockatiels. I currently live with two indoor tortoiseshell cats who are comfortable with dogs, and one of my cats is leash-trained. I have raised and trained at least 11 dogs from puppies to adulthood (3 as my own and the others for my parents). Most of my cats I adopted as teenagers, but I have raised a few kittens from a young age. I have done extensive dog training with the 3 dogs I raised as my own in the past, and I am familiar with both dog and cat training techniques. I live in a cabin the woods in Boston, NY, on a power line gravel road. Although I do not have a fenced in back yard, your dog will enjoy going on leashed walks down the power line road multiple times per day! I earn a living through a mix of substitute teaching (summer starts June 25th!), remote research and writing gigs, tutoring, child care, and pet care. I have a flexible schedule and incorporate pet care into the mix as much as possible because I love animals. If I am boarding a dog at my home, I will not be house sitting at that time (and vice versa). While boarding or house sitting, I will consider dog walking and drop-ins depending on the needs of the client and driving distance. If you board your dog at my home, my cats and I wake up early (about 6am) and I like to go outside for a walk down the power line road right away, and then eat breakfast. Your dog will be able to spend time with me all day (on a leash when we are outside), and if I need to leave my house, they will be in their crate for no more than 4 hours (2 is my strong preference). We will go for at least one more walk before dinner, too. I will be sure to give them plenty of play time and exercise throughout the day (depending on their level of activity and how hot it is outside). No matter what, they will get a lot of love and attention! I live in a cabin in the woods in the Town of Boston, NY, so although I do not have a fenced-in yard, there is very little traffic or people around. I will be able to go on long leashed walks with your dog down the power line for exercise, and there are a few friendly neighbor dogs that would love to say hello if your dog is up for that. I do live with two cats: one of them will hide a lot while your dog is here, but the other is very dog-friendly and will want to interact with your dog. I will monitor and separate them as needed (I have a spare room). I have always crate-trained my dogs and so long as your dog is comfortable in their crate, I will use it as a safe place for them to be while they are staying with me.
“Lindsey has watched my dog a couple of times and is wonderful. Recently she accommodated a very last minute stay which I’m so grateful for. Lots of walks and attention for my dog. Highly recommend!”
“It was so reassuring knowing that Josh & Kelly were taking great care of our pup while we were on vacation. They, along with their children were so caring and loving to Gus. We received pictures and updates every day too. He couldn’t have been in better hands, and we will definitely be contacting them again to watch him.”
“Kiara & Yves are genuinely such fantastic pet sitters, and kept my mind at ease during travel knowing that my cat was in such good hands! Not only were they very kind and pleasant to talk to, but Kiara was very knowledgeable about animals in general and shared some useful information. They were very diligent in making sure my kitty was being cared for properly, along with sending updates and pictures. From medication, to going out of their way to buy specific kibble that my cat was used to after not adjusting, you can be assured that your pet will be watched by responsible, enthusiastic, and caring folks.”
“I am so excited that I found someone who will luv and take care of my fur babies like I would. This was the first time I left my babies with a sitter. Katie assured me they would be ok and for me to go enjoy myself on my little getaway! I am happy that I did! I luv how Katie made communication during their stay. I could see that my fur babies were well taken care of and was enjoying their stay. The walks, playtime, and other activities. Thank you Katie! You Rock!!!!!”
“Sierra was so sweet with my baby! She sent me pictures and updates every day and she even helped me out in a pinch and let me extend my reservation! I would absolutely book with her again and encourage anyone else too!!🥰”

“Ann is amazing! She takes such great care of my senior cat while I’m away. She arrives on time, feeds and gives meds, and showers her with love. I couldn’t as for a better pet sitter!”
“Mickey did a great job with our cat Rocky. She checked in often as we requested and included photos and videos. She also took great care in keeping our bird feeders filled as well as checking on and feeding a stray cat that we've helping. Like us it's obvious that Mickey is a true animal and nature lover. Also, as an overnighter she left our home neat and tidy.She's an ideal sitter for us and now a friend as well.”
“Jonathan did an excellent job looking after my cat and keeping him company while I was away on vacation. Very responsive, and provided detailed updates. Would recommend any time.”
About: I’ve grown up caring for dogs, cats, lizards, and hamsters! Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I truly adore pets of all kinds. Whether they’re energetic, shy, scaly, fluffy, or somewhere in between, I treat every animal like my own best friend. I work remotely, which gives me a very flexible morning schedule and the ability to create my own hours. I love spending as much time as possible with the animals, making sure they feel loved, stay active and engaged through play, and are always safe and well cared for. I live in an apartment complex, so I generally take my dog out every few hours so he can get his exercise, use the bathroom, and enjoy the outdoors. I do the same with those I’m sitting for!
“It was such a peace of mind knowing my pups were cared for over the weekend while Jenna checked in on them. She sent me pictures and messaged me with any updates. I will definitely book with her in the future!”
About: I’ve been a dog owner since 2020, when I got my first dog as a puppy. Since then, I’ve learned firsthand what it takes to raise, train, and care for a dog from a young age. I currently have two dogs and they’re a big part of my everyday life! I’m a senior in high school with no extracurriculars during this season, which makes my schedule very flexible. I also have my own transportation, so I’m reliable and easy to coordinate with! I take safety seriously and always make sure dogs are supervised and comfortable. I follow all instructions closely, keep routines consistent, and pay attention to behavior to make sure each dog feels secure and stress free.
“Shanna was prompt and professional! But most of all our dog seemed to love her! She even left our dog a birthday treat. She's really very caring and thoughtful. Wouldn't hesitate to rebook”
About: I was raised on a small family farm, and have cared for goats, chickens, ducks, pigs, and more while a part of that. As a child and teenager, I trained dogs through my local 4-H program, and later on started petsitting for family friends. I've cared for puppies, senior dogs, cats, chickens, cows, pigs, goats, turtles, geese, canaries, ducks, and so many others, and I'm always willing to learn something new! I work full-time, night shifts during the week and mornings on weekends, but I'm typically only gone 8 hours max, so there's still plenty of time for me to provide plenty of care and attention to the pets! I typically stay overnight, and will either crate the pets if needed, or let them sleep with me, I wake up with them and spend my day hanging out with them, playing or just relaxing. I do my best to care for each pet as their owner would, to help minimize stress.
“I could not have asked for a better first time experience using Rover! Jenny was amazing and came over before we left for vacation to meet our cats and get a rundown of their routine. She was thorough in her communication and it really made me feel so much better knowing that our cats were in good hands while we were away. I highly recommend Jenny for any of your pet sitting needs!”
About: Hello! I’m Claudia Giallella and I’ve always loved caring for animals. In recent years, I have played and cared for many cute cats. I love to send pictures and videos of your pets to show they are having fun and are happy while you are away! Caring for animals has always brought me so much joy and I love to meet new families that are in need for short or long term care for their pets!
About: I’ve taken care of cats since I was 5, Ive owned 3 of my own over the years. My most current cat is my 10 year old girl that I got when she was a kitten. As much as I enjoy walking and going on adventures with my dog, i also love sitting and cuddling or petting my cat, playing with her little toys our just hanging out and giving her so me attention.
“Katherine is the best cat sitter out there! She's extremely patient and amazing with my scaredy cat! She has watched my cat several times already and I request her every time I travel! :)”
“Tara was extremely professional and took good care of our babies while we were on vacation. She went above and beyond: she brought our packages upstairs, kept our porch plants watered and our outside bird feeder filled (so our cats would have their "tv") We came home to happy plants, happy cats and happy birds. Thank you again!”
“Nikki was an awesome sitter! Not only was she reliable and responsible, but she was also able to coax my shy cats out and make friends with them. I felt very confident and comfortable leaving my pet family in her care. I will definitely be asking her to sit again😊”
About: Since have always owned cats growing up - and now owning 3 of my own - I have never known life without a cat! As a result, I mostly know cats inside and out! I can confidently handle cats with various behavioral traits and do so with great comfort!
About: I grew up with cats and my best friend had dogs. I would always help her take care of them and took care of cats as my best friends. When I met my fiancé he had a 5 year old beagle and I fell even more in love with dogs. My dream one day is to open a senior dog sanctuary, but until then, I will take care of my own dogs and help others care for theirs! Our pets are part of our families and they deserve the best treatment. I work from home with a consistent schedule and am available for walks and check ins after 3:30pm during the week and any time during the weekend. I have 2 small beagles who love all dogs and love to play. They will make great play mates and walk companions to keep your pooch company.
About: I understand that every pet has a unique personality, routine, and needs. I know how important it is to have someone you can trust to care for your furry family members, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether it’s playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply keeping them comfortable while you’re away, I’ll provide reliable, compassionate care and plenty of love! Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. As the proud mom of four cats and one dog, my days already revolve around feeding, walks, playtime, enrichment, and plenty of affection. Because caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, I can easily incorporate visits, walks, or check-ins into my schedule while giving each pet the attention and care they deserve. I care for every pet as if they were my own, while respecting their individual routines and personalities. In a client’s home, I follow their instructions closely to keep pets comfortable and maintain their normal schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and lots of love and attention. I also make sure they have fresh water, a clean environment, and plenty of companionship while you’re away. My goal is to provide dependable, stress-free care so both you and your pet can feel at ease.

“Chelsea and Derek were amazing with our puppy we were very nervous leaving her with someone for the first time. They answered all our questions and sent us pictures and kept us up to date with what she was doing. I 100% recommend them to anyone and would be using them again.”
“Mary and her family are absolutely AMAZING with our puppy, Scout! She communicates and sends me pictures throughout the day and after only one day of daycare, the next time he saw her he was SO excited!! Her sweet dog, Maggie, has taken Scout under her wing and is so good with him. I cannot say enough good things! I feel like we hit the lottery by finding Mary to care for our sweet boy when we are at work. He leaves ever day happy and exhausted!”
About: It's Summertime!!! Bring your Pupp-a-ccinos and PuppCorn for a sleeprover to talk about. We just got a new doggie pool for the heat, and have a pop up agility course to play in.Parks nearby is Knox farm, memorial Park, BurchField and more. My car/dog mobile is set up with dog seatbelts so we can safely drive to our next fun destination( if approved by owner). I'm a Licensed Veterinary Technician and have been working in the animal industry for over 15 years. I am able to give quality attention and care all day. License is available upon request. Proof of vaccines and flea/tick prevention required PRIOR to drop off. I try to take only one dog but there may be an overlap of a boarding client and daycare client. Are you looking for someone who can stay with your fur baby and not be kenneled? I'm your woman. Prices may vary dependent on the needs of the client and how extensive it may be. I try to give an enriching environment for all pets that I'm caring for, but if they are more mellow, then I'm very good at snuggling. I enjoy outdoor activities and love to bring any dog who wants to explore nature with me. I can take your dog out on multiple leashed walks a day. We can go to a nearby park or sunbathe on my porch. I treat all pets like they are my own family member.

She is very sweet, a big girl at 95lbs but extremely submissive in all situations! She would love a play mate and extra walks! Work from home M-F. On my lunch we always take a walk usually about 2 miles and Genny get plenty of potty breaks and outdoors time! I can follow any type of specific feeding plan and can ensure walks and outdoor time are a focus! I love dogs and would want to make sure your pet was taken care of they way I would want Genny to be!

“This was our first experience leaving our 9 mo. old shihtzu pup for daycare. Mom was nervous - puppy had the best day ever! Katie took great care of our boy and he definitely loved every minute, living his best life! Thank you Katie!”
“Thanks so much! Crystal was very professional. She was clear about her services and what she doesn’t offer - like picking my dog up from my house - I appreciate clear boundaries. She fed him & let him out more than enough times and he seemed very happy over there. I feel safe with her watching my dog. Thank you!”
About: “My fashion philosophy is, if you’re not covered in dog hair, your life is empty.” – Elayne Boosler I am home 95% of the time during the summer, we just extended the fence to about an acre! Also have an above ground pool that your pup can swim in with my help if they like to. During the school year I am out of the house Mon-Fri from 7-4 so I can take dogs for boarding on Friday's starting at 4 or after. My favorite thing is to be home with my dogs on the weekend so most likely the shortest amount of time your pup(s) will be home without a human is 2-4 hours max. When I am home, the dogs are my first priority, with many walks, brushing, massage and pampering included in each visit! If your pup needs a bath and is well-behaved in the tub, I'd love to freshen them up! (I do not cut nails). All of my pups are on flea and tick prevention year round. Please reach out if you have any questions! I am home all day during the summer months so I can watch your pup 24/7! I have older pups who love to chill and a younger golden who loves to run around and play so whatever kind of dog you have they should fit right in. No aggressive dogs please! I am home 24/7 when watching your pup. I have a huge fenced in yard for them to play and a nice indoor area as well. Our dogs are allowed on furniture and prefer it over their expensive dog beds lol.

About: I’m great with dogs because I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely love being around them. I take the time to understand each dog’s personality, routines, and needs, whether that means high-energy playtime, calm walks, or just quiet companionship. I’m very observant of behavior and body language, so I can quickly tell when a dog is excited, anxious, or needs extra care. I’m reliable with feeding schedules, walks, and any special instructions, and I always prioritize safety and comfort. Most importantly, I treat every dog like my own and I make sure they feel loved, secure, and happy while their owners are away. 🐶❤️ I have 2 dachshunds of my own♥️ I am currently a Teacher, I work from 8-3:45 during the week! I am always home after those times and on the weekends! I am off in the summers and on all school breaks and holidays! I have 2 dachshunds of my own and I spend ALL my time with them when I am home, so I can do the same with your pets! I have a fenced in yard and two fur babies to keep yours company! I can crate them if needed but mine roam the kitchen while I am gone and sleep in bed with me! We are always walking and outside running around!
About: I used to dog walk a couple dogs. Then I moved onto horses. So I know I can handle the hardest canines. They’re fun to have around. I’m working but also just thinking about doing this instead. Work gets boring and this wouldn’t. I love animals and they tend to love me back. I have a giant yard. They can’t be off leash but we can have fun running in the grass. I have animals that will stay upstairs when the dog or cat is here.
“We were just passing through on a road trip and landed tickets to see the Bills play so this was a last minute book. Sierra was wonderful with our Bella who has separation anxiety. She took it slow with Bella and soon Sierra had her eating (she has NEVER eaten a meal when we are not there with her), going for walks, and napping. I can tell Sierra was great with Bella because she was happy when we picked her up and went right to sleep when we got home.”
“Natalie is an excellent Dog Mom. I can’t say enough good things about her. My wife was hesitant to leave our dog with someone overnight, but Natalie assured her that everything would be fine and it was. Rossi got fresh water multiple times a day, played in her spacious backyard with other dogs, and she took our dog for walks several times a day. She sent multiple updates with pictures and videos, which we really appreciate it. I absolutely would not hesitate to use Natalie again.”

“An incredibly kind and compassionate human, who has a way with my beloved Westie, Charlie. It made our day to have met her and we can't wait to see her again for a walk or drop in visits this Fall.”
About: With 15 years of pet care experience, I’m dependable and attentive. I make sure every dog or cat feels comfortable, loved, and well cared for. My schedule is very flexible and open, so I can easily fit in walks, drop-ins, or overnight stays whenever needed. I plan around each pet’s routine. I treat every home and pet with the same care and respect as my own. I follow any instructions or schedules closely, and make sure pets feel safe and comfortable.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. I work full time from home, with two dogs that I care for. I factor in potty breaks into my schedule and walks during meeting that permit. I love meeting new dogs and looking after them as if they were my own! I love taking dogs for long walks or to throw the frisbee. I am trained in CPR and have tele-vet on standby 24/7. Rest assured I’ve never had to use it.
About: I retired young and have time on my hands. I love animals and have had dogs, chickens, ducks, and a very special house Bunny named Oliver. I am open on dates and times.

I will treat your pet with respect Thanks
“Once again, Jessica was fantastic! We are so happy we booked her to watch our 16 year old dog. She sent daily photos, updates, and was easy to communicate with. Jessica made sure to give our old pup her meds every day, and gave her extra love. Neela was very happy and comfortable in our own home. We were so pleased. Thank you!”
About: Having worked as both a dog trainer and a pet care associate for PetSmart for 3+ years - as well as having always been a pet owner myself - I’ve learned a great deal about how to suit the needs of each and every pet and how to best communicate with them and accommodate their needs! As a teacher aide with summers off, I will have almost complete availability over summer. I am flexible and willing to work with you to figure out what will work best for I can comfortably handle different types of animals with my 2+ years of experience owning my own (cats, dogs, gerbils, hamsters, etc) and working with different species, as well as training dogs at my previous job as a PetSmart worker for 3+ years!
About: I have been in the animal field for as long as I can remember. When I was younger I took care of horses and volunteered at the Erie County Fair in the horse barn there. After high school in 2016, I became a dog Groomer and worked at Best In Show Dog Grooming as one of the top pet stylists. When Covid hit I decided I wanted to go back to school so I dropped down to part time and am currently in my third year at Medaille College to become a Veterinarian Technician. About a year ago I gave up my job as a Dog Groomer to work in a Veterinarian hospital and now I am currently a Veterinarian Assistant. I have a dog of my own her name is Ruby and she is an 80lb Saint Bernard, Akita mix. I also have three cats name Gypsy, Pippin, and Shaggy. There is no pet too big or strong, I am use to the big guys. I am currently working part-time at the Veterinarian Hospital and I am on break from school until August 30th. Even when I go back to school I will be able to check on your fur babies. My dog is super friendly and will keep your pet occupied if you're okay with it. I will definitely ask permission before introducing. I will also take your fur baby for a walk, feed them, give them love for you when you're away, and make sure they have everything they need.
About: I have been fortunate enough to have had animals most of my life. These have ranged from dogs, rabbits, chickens, horses, cows, and fish. I have volunteered time at a wildlife rehab and also worked a few years at a dog daycare facility that would average about 50 dogs a day. I have a bachelors degree in Animal behavior, ecology and conservation. I have always had a special place in my heart for animals. I currently have 2 rabbits and a dog. I am a substitute teacher so my schedule is rather flexible. It allows me to arrange my week how I need it. My afternoons are usually pretty open. I will ensure that each pet is safe, secure and well taken care of in the comfort of their own home while providing updates to their families.

“I was so happy with the care Tara gave to my 2 German shepherds. She walked them daily for me and played with them with the same amount of care I give them when i was on vacation. I highly recommend her and would hire her again in the future”
“Jason has been walking my dog for a few weeks and very happy with his service. He's flexible and kind, and Beckett likes him which is Paramount! Would recommend him to anyone and all, his experience and demeanor are top notch.”
About: Caring for animals has been a lifelong passion of mine. Growing up, my family and I regularly took in sick, injured, or abandoned animals, nursing them back to health and giving them the love they needed to thrive. This early experience taught me not only the basics of pet care, but also the patience, compassion, and attentiveness it takes to truly understand an animal’s needs. While I love all creatures, I have a special connection with cats and dogs, and nothing brings me more joy than making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, administering medication, or just giving them some extra love, I take pride in treating every animal as if they were my own. I am a business owner who works remote - which makes fitting pet care into my schedule fairly easy. So long as I have a day or so for notice and am not currently booked with anyone else, I can typically make myself available. I can easily provide my services in your home in order to ensure the comfort of your pets. I’m happy to take them outside to play, go for walks, feed them, snuggle them, and ensure litter boxes and yards are cleaned up during my visit.
About: I’ve been dog and cat sitting (all different breeds) for friends and family over the past couple years, either in their home or my own. I am a figure skating and hockey coach. This requires me to be at the rink for 3-4 hours a day, generally in the afternoon/early evening. All of the office work that I do for it can be completed from home. I have a cat in my own home. If I’m ever to have dogs there, I put him downstairs with his litter box and food so that we don’t have to worry about the pets not getting along.
About: I have had my own pets all of my life. I've been pet-sitting for 5 years for friends and family, annd have two dogs of my own. I always care for your furry friends as if they were my own. I have all day availability, everyday. I can accommodate any schedule and needs! I want my services to best fit what you are looking for! I offer doggy hikes and adventures in addition to regular walks. Message me if this is of interest to you. I really value engagement with animals, which could be either playing with them, walking them, or challenging them with puzzles or strategic enrichment games. With my own dogs I make sure they get plenty of exercise, attention, and mental stimulation throughout the day, and I will do the same with yours.
About: I understand that every pet has a unique personality, routine, and needs. I know how important it is to have someone you can trust to care for your furry family members, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether it’s playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply keeping them comfortable while you’re away, I’ll provide reliable, compassionate care and plenty of love! Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. As the proud mom of four cats and one dog, my days already revolve around feeding, walks, playtime, enrichment, and plenty of affection. Because caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, I can easily incorporate visits, walks, or check-ins into my schedule while giving each pet the attention and care they deserve. I care for every pet as if they were my own, while respecting their individual routines and personalities. In a client’s home, I follow their instructions closely to keep pets comfortable and maintain their normal schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and lots of love and attention. I also make sure they have fresh water, a clean environment, and plenty of companionship while you’re away. My goal is to provide dependable, stress-free care so both you and your pet can feel at ease.

“I can’t thank Joan and Tim enough for taking my dogs while we were at my daughters wedding for a long weekend. She was so attentive and gave me many updates and made it so I can be worry free. I appreciate them so much.”
“Mickey was great. She made Beasley feel very comfortable and treated him like one of the family. She even bought him a sweater that she let us keep while we were gone because it got very cold out. He not only loved her but he also made a couple new friends at her house. Sunny and Sylvester were great companions for him during his stay. We will definitely be calling Mickey for future travels when Beasley needs a place to stay.”
“Jenn and Brian were wonderful with Mika. They treated her as she was one of their own. Spoiling her with treats, love and affection. I would highly recommend booking with them.”
“At first I was skeptical about using Rover to find someone to care for my German Shepherd that I just adopted and because of moving reasons I needed a place for him to be until my place was ready. I came across Jin, and she was immediately available, and I couldn't be more lucky to have found such an amazing human been, she took care of my Tony so good, with constant pictures and follow ups about his activities. I will only use her services to care for my dog. She us the best. Thank you so much for taking care my big baby tony.??”
“Denae and Mark were wonderful hosts for our dog, Cooper. Denae was a great communicator and provided us photos and messages to let us know how Cooper was doing during his brief weekend stay. We will be using them again!”
About: I have been taking care of animals for as long as I can remember and have been pet-sitting since age 10 for family, friends, and neighbors. I have almost always lived with at least one cat or dog (or both!) throughout my life. I also have experience caring for rabbits, ferrets, gerbils, fish, parakeets, bearded dragons, and cockatiels. I currently live with two indoor tortoiseshell cats who are comfortable with dogs, and one of my cats is leash-trained. I have raised and trained at least 11 dogs from puppies to adulthood (3 as my own and the others for my parents). Most of my cats I adopted as teenagers, but I have raised a few kittens from a young age. I have done extensive dog training with the 3 dogs I raised as my own in the past, and I am familiar with both dog and cat training techniques. I live in a cabin the woods in Boston, NY, on a power line gravel road. Although I do not have a fenced in back yard, your dog will enjoy going on leashed walks down the power line road multiple times per day! I earn a living through a mix of substitute teaching (summer starts June 25th!), remote research and writing gigs, tutoring, child care, and pet care. I have a flexible schedule and incorporate pet care into the mix as much as possible because I love animals. If I am boarding a dog at my home, I will not be house sitting at that time (and vice versa). While boarding or house sitting, I will consider dog walking and drop-ins depending on the needs of the client and driving distance. If you board your dog at my home, my cats and I wake up early (about 6am) and I like to go outside for a walk down the power line road right away, and then eat breakfast. Your dog will be able to spend time with me all day (on a leash when we are outside), and if I need to leave my house, they will be in their crate for no more than 4 hours (2 is my strong preference). We will go for at least one more walk before dinner, too. I will be sure to give them plenty of play time and exercise throughout the day (depending on their level of activity and how hot it is outside). No matter what, they will get a lot of love and attention! I live in a cabin in the woods in the Town of Boston, NY, so although I do not have a fenced-in yard, there is very little traffic or people around. I will be able to go on long leashed walks with your dog down the power line for exercise, and there are a few friendly neighbor dogs that would love to say hello if your dog is up for that. I do live with two cats: one of them will hide a lot while your dog is here, but the other is very dog-friendly and will want to interact with your dog. I will monitor and separate them as needed (I have a spare room). I have always crate-trained my dogs and so long as your dog is comfortable in their crate, I will use it as a safe place for them to be while they are staying with me.
“Lindsey has watched my dog a couple of times and is wonderful. Recently she accommodated a very last minute stay which I’m so grateful for. Lots of walks and attention for my dog. Highly recommend!”
“It was so reassuring knowing that Josh & Kelly were taking great care of our pup while we were on vacation. They, along with their children were so caring and loving to Gus. We received pictures and updates every day too. He couldn’t have been in better hands, and we will definitely be contacting them again to watch him.”
“Sierra was so sweet with my baby! She sent me pictures and updates every day and she even helped me out in a pinch and let me extend my reservation! I would absolutely book with her again and encourage anyone else too!!🥰”
“Alena always takes great care of Shadow. She takes him on walks and even gave him meds that were prescribed for him at the last minute. I have booked with her several times and will continue to do so. I highly recommend her.”
“Kona had a great stay at Shannon and David’s! They were welcoming and warm which made Kona very comfortable. Pictures were so cute. He loved the long walks too! We were able to have a great weekend in Ellicottville with no worries. I highly recommend them and would absolutely have Kona stay on our next visit!”
“Leah was very attentive and shared frequent updates about how my dog was adjusting. I’d definitely recommend Leah and am looking forward to boarding my dog with her again.”
“Charlette is very kind and caring, she will take care of your fur baby as if it was her own. She communicates quickly and often, leaving you no doubt about the situation. I'm not sure how I could give her a higher recommendation, but if I could, I would!”
