“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!”
“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.”
“Alexandria was awesome. Easygoing, communicative, flexible and totally capable. We really appreciate her taking care of our sweet pup for the night! He came back happy as a clam.”
“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.”
“Janet is a wonderful sitter for my little diva Snuggles! She is patient and kind and very understanding. My fur baby is very high maintenance, and I very much appreciate Janet taking the time with her to make sure she's comfortable, and entertained, and treated as well as she would be at home. Thank you Janet!”
“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!”
“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!”
“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.”
“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. ”
“5 STARS - Kelly is an outstanding Dog Sitter. This was our first experience using Rover. We feel very fortunate to have found Kelly. She is a professional in her field that genuinely cares about the safety and well-being of the pets she brings into her home. The drop-off was smoother than we could have anticipated, which made driving away and the start of our trip relaxing and worry free. We quickly began looking forward to Kelly’s daily updates. It was clear to see from the pictures we were not being missed (which is a good thing). The outdoor experiences and newfound friends Quinn was exposed to made for very exciting times. We could tell from the stories and pictures shared with us that he was having a blast. We highly recommend Kelly, and will turn to her anytime we are in need of boarding in the future. Not only does she offer an environment superior to any crated or caged boarding facility, she engages her dogs in regular walks and activities for exercise and enjoyment. This was one of the first times we can recall while away not being concerned about how Quinn was doing. We felt assured he was in good hands and enjoying every minute of his stay with Kelly.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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!”
“Spencer was fantastic. He was communicative, professional, and sent regular updates and photos, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our dog was comfortable and well cared for. He was attentive and picked up on little personality details, making the experience even better. We came home to a happy, relaxed dog. Highly recommend Spencer and would absolutely book with him again.”
“Maxine was a fantastic sitter for my puppy! Took her on hikes almost daily and handled her meds and everything with no issue. She also took some fantastic photos and shared updates daily. Highly recommend!”

“Words cannot describe how much we appreciated finding her to watch our two cats while we were away. She went above and beyond and followed our weird feeding directions. She cleaned the litter box and even fed our goldfish in our pond. If you need someone to watch your pets, have no doubt that she is the one that you need to contact.”
“Angela was a joy to work with. She is always very kind, communicated well with us every step of the way, and treated our cats like they were her own. We will definitely look to hire her again if future visits are needed.”
“Bill and Emma were terrific caregivers over the course of 11 days. They provided very consistent care and attention for and to my older cat, along with many photos and daily notes 2x/day for his human. I would have them care for Benny again without hesitation.”
About: I’ve had cats since I can ever remember, and i’ve always been obsessed with them. I also worked with cats at my previous job. I’ve learned the connection between a human and a cat. I’ve learned how to make them feel comfortable for the most part, how to be their friend, how to be close, and more. I will treat your babies like they’re my own, and my own babies normal spoiled!
“Colleen checked in on my cats while I was out of town. She refilled food and water supply, and changed the waste bin for the automated litter box. She gave me photo updates of my cats greeting her at the door. I appreciated her services and would book again for whenever I am out of town.”
“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.”
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.
About: I am a huge animal lover with professional experience as a dog walker/sitter. Right now my schedule is pretty flexible.

I'm able to provide great references for the pets I've cared for in the past! I am energetic, fun, and easy to get along with. I like to make the most out of our time together! I like to be outdoors as much as possible. If your dog is comfortable, I would love to take your dog to events, the dog park, and short hikes. Your dog will love the experience I will provide!

Perfect for high energy dogs - Van Etten
Prices are estimates per day. Pricing may vary based on your search. A booking fee of 11% and taxes will apply.
“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 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!”
“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!”
“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!”
“10/10 AMAZING!! Hanna truly went above and beyond for my pup, providing exceptional care and support! I was in Ithaca for an intensive week at school, and needed last-minute help with my dog so she wouldn't be stuck in the hotel room all day while I was in class. Hanna responded quickly to my request and was extremely accommodating when school responsibilities extended my dog's care past the agreed-upon timeframe. I received occasional updates and photos during the day, and Hanna was very responsive to any messages. Highly recommend Hanna and her services, and I will definitely be a repeat customer the next time I find myself in Ithaca with my dog! Thanks so much again!!”
“Thank you Alexandria for hosting Charlie while my husband underwent a surgical procedure this week. It was such a relief not to worry about Charlie, that he would be let outside for bathroom breaks and cared for while we were at the hospital. We sure appreciate that fine care you give him and how you work with our erratic schedule! Nancy”
“I cannot overstate what a lifesaver Jennifer was on our vacation. We had an air BNB that allowed dogs, but not unattended and were visiting friends with a cat who turned out to be dog phobic. We booked Jennifer the day before we left and she was so welcoming and flexible with pick up and drop off times and with her extensive kennel hours. My dog loved her own special vacation; with puppy playtime and hiking in the woods. She came home relaxed and super tired! The true marker of her own good review, was how happy she was to go back the next day! Thanks, Jennifer :)”
“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!”
“Molly immediately connected with Jessica and Matthew at the Meet and Greet. They sent pictures every day and Molly had a great time during Doggie Daycare! No worries with them. I will definitely use their services again.”
“If there was >5 stars, this would be a time to use it! From the very beginning Janet was an absolute sweetheart, meeting me on the porch to grab my little guy, asking pertinent questions to be sure she was doing the best for him and even putting up low wires in her house to keep him from chewing them (puppy) Dash took to her immediately, tail wagging and kisses like she was an old friend of his, since dogs are a good judge of character, I just knew this was going to be a great day for him. From picture updates, to her summarizing their daily activities for me, I was totally at ease and had a happy heart with my decision to reach out to Janet to keep Dash for the day. She is simply the best!”
About: I absolutely love all dogs, any size and breed. I was a foster parent for a local animal rescue before I had my youngest daughter. My family and I have owned many dogs during my life. Currently my family does not have any dogs. I have always treated my dogs like a member of my family, without 'spoiling' them. Any specific requests, or needs I will certainly listen to them without question. I have a very flexible work schedule, and can provide any service that you are looking for. The only thing I will not be able to do is overnight stays since I have young children. I’m currently working part time from home, and can be available whenever I am needed! I am available for boarding and visits on the weekends! I have a dog kennel and can take them for walks if needed. If they need to be crated, I am able to do that as well.
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.
“I dropped my dog off for daycare with Roxanne and she was great! She sent me multiple pictures throughout the day as well as updates on how she was doing. This was my first experience with Rover and it couldn’t have gone better! So happy to know that I now have a go-to sitter whenever I need one! Highly recommend!!”
“Amanda was great! Winter was crazy and happy as usual when I picked her up from daycare with Amanda so it looked like she had a good time there and was a tired girl on the way home.”
“Mimi had an unbelievable day with Kelly and another dog. Kelly was very attentive and considerate doggy sitter. She kept our dog busy outdoors and indoors. Mimi had a blast of a day. Kelly kept us in the know throughout Mimi's stay with regular photos and messages. A fact that let enjoy our visit to Corning knowing that dog is in good hands .”
“We can’t say enough great things about our doggy daycare experience! From day one, the communication has been incredible, we receive tons of pictures and thoughtful updates that truly give us peace of mind. It’s clear how much care and attention goes into every day. Spencer has also been so flexible and accommodating with our schedules when things come up, which we really appreciate. Most importantly, Xena absolutely loves going there! She gets so excited and comes home happy and tired every time. The socialization she’s getting has been amazing, especially as a puppy. It’s been such great preparation for her development and confidence. We’re so grateful to have found someone we trust completely with our girl!”
About: I'm Ada. I've been taking care of dogs, children and seniors for about ten years. I really enjoy it. I have had jobs in which people relied on me to feed, walk, and bathe their pets. I am also known to take the them to the dog park. I currently have open availablity and can fit pet care into my schedule at any time. I don't have any restrictions as of right now. I live in an apartment so I don't have a yard, however I do take pets to the dog park that I watch. They are free to be on the furniture and the bed. And I do not put them in cages or leave them alone.
“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.”

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

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!

We knew from the moment we met them, that they were the exact dog sitters that we needed. They sent us regular updates, showing just how happy he was. They exercised him daily, and made him a part of their family. They will be our go to dog sitters. We highly recommend them.”
