Personalized care for your dog or cat - Waverly
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Waverly
“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.”
“During the introduction meeting Carolina and her family were all so welcoming and kind and Carolina was obviously on point professionally so I was completely comfortable with leaving Onyx with them. The appointment went very smoothly and I highly recommend her to anyone needing a dog-sitter.”
“Janet and her pups were great with Enzo! We really appreciated her taking such good care of him while we were away, and also communicating regular updates and sending pictures of him. Would definitely book with her again!”
“Alex is just great. My dog loves it there, and Alex takes good care of her. His communication is excellent and he sends pictures of her having fun. I highly recommend him.”
“Kelly went above & beyond to keep Duke engaged and comfortable. She was highly attentive, picking up on all his behavioral communication, which can be subtle sometimes. I'm not sure if she's a natural Dog Whisperer or it's from years of experience, but it's definitely a skill I don't take for granted. I only needed him to be out from under my feet for one day, but she gave him the full vacation treatment. She kept me updated throughout the day with detailed check ins, which I really appreciated, noting his responses to the new environment, how he was interacting with the household, his appetite, his energy levels. She took the time to take a lot of photos, as well, so I could see for myself how he was behaving. Duke returned to me happy & rested - if I ever need to send him away to "camp" again, I'll definitely call Kelly.”
“Our two pups were well taken care of and had a great time. Absolutely loved the fenced in yard and daily walks. Thank you so much for making their first experience seamless. Definitely will be booking again.”
“Evie and Zoey had the best time! It was so great to get updates and pictures of them while we were away. I look forward to them having a steady place to stay anytime we go on vacation. They were clearly well cared for and happy when I returned. Thank you for taking such great care of my babies!”
“I was really nervous leaving my love Leo with a pet sitter, but after our meet and greet with Mary I was much more comfortable. Mary sent us multiple pictures and videos every day which made it much easier to leave him. Leo had so much fun at camp and made new friends, I will definitely be using Mary again in the future!!”
About: Taking care of pets has always been part of my life. I have a fenced in yard for dogs to run and play. As for walks, I have to active kids who are always willing to take a walk around. I currently work at the local school just minutes from my home. I come home middle of the day. I am home during the summer and on weekends. I have a fenced in yard and one dog who is a big baby. Dogs are allowed to lay wherever they are comfortable but can also crate if they are used to that.
“Dana was AWESOME! We have two finicky border collies that don't warm up to just anyone and need a lot of mental and physical activity - thus, we have very high standards for their care. Dana exceeded our expectations! Dana was kind and patient with them, and have them plenty of activities for their brains (e g., puzzle toys), and bodies (e.g., plenty of walks). She was very engaged with them and even worked commands with them for added mental stimulation! Our dogs came back very happy and well cared for. We will definitely be boarding with her again, and can't recommend her enough - ESPECIALLY if you have timid or dog/people selective dogs. Dana is a very conscientious and responsible dog owner and sitter. She is also very communicative and will send plenty of updates and photos.”
“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!”
“We were extremely pleased with the care and attention that Michelle gave to our dog Dixie. She took great care of our dog and when we came to pick her up, I think Dixie would have been happy to stay longer. The house, the accommodations and the caretaker were perfect for our dog and she was very relaxed when we came to pick her up. Michelle was a very good "fit" for us and Dixie. We definitely would use Michelle again.”
“We’ve always had great experiences using Rover however, Luann went above and beyond anything we could ever imagine. Luann shared pictures of our dog on daily walks, car rides and other doggy adventures throughout the day. Luann is a true pack leader.”
“Jennifer was wonderful with Joe. She pampered him during his visit with lots of snuggles, and even a park trip! Joe was very happy during his time with her. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter.”
“Lauren did a great job caring for my dog Stella! She was able to accommodate a last minute boarding request and sent daily pictures/updates. Stella came home happy and well taken care of.”
“We were so thankful that Kellyanne was available for us last minute, especially since our boy Odin had recently been dealing with a leg injury. She was so accommodating and made sure we were comfortable, as it was also our first time boarding him. Would definitely recommend Kellyanne!”
About: I've taken care of pets since I was a child-- growing up with a large breed and small dog and two cats-- I've always loved animals. I have a large breed dog named Chewbacca and an adult indoor cat named Chase. Both are friendly with other animals, easy going, and playful. I work from home most days so I'm very available! I'm here in my house and I'm happy to offer lots of love, comfort, cuddles, and address any special dietary or medical needs when your pet stays with me! My older large dog is very sweet and sleeps most of the day, but he enjoys playing with other dogs and otherwise is great with cats and any other animals he encounters! I have a large fenced yard on just over an acre outside of Ithaca. Dogs can run and are very happy here when visiting! I am happy to supervise any bathroom breaks or keep your pet on a leash if you prefer them not running the large yard-- whatever feels most comfortable! I will follow your care instructions precisely to ensure your pet gets the love and attention needed.

“Staci took very good care of my two cats. We had her do two visits a day and she was very prompt and you could almost set your watch by her. She followed the feed and care instructions to the letter and even went above and beyond to make sure Oliver, who has CKD, was comfortable. I would recommend Staci if you're looking for a good reliable pet sitter.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Waverly
“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”
“Repeat customer. My dog is apprehensive to non-family. Matt came out to greet us. She remembered him. My dog’s tails started wagging and she went right over to him. Jess soon came to the top of step and my dog went over to say hi to her and went right in the house. She didn’t even look back to me. They both have a calm demeanor that my apprehensive dog can sense and she obviously feels at home with them. Grateful to have people like this in the Valley.”
About: Experienced in overnight and back-and-forth pet sitting. Can care for puppies to seniors at any hour of the day and night. I am not grossed out by any mess your pet may make and will keep the space clean. Normally work 7-noon 3 days a week. My job is very flexible and could change to suite you and your pets needs! I am very quick with responding if you would need me last minute. My pets that I've had in my home get fed at the same time every day. They are also allowed to go out when they want and get their paws cleaned when they come in. Water is always available to them. You can expect me to do the same with your animals unless told other instructions.

“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!”
“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.”
About: Hi my name is Luann I have always had my own dog. My baby now is a blue healer Great Dane mix. She is a great dog. We also have a small dog. Her name is Daisy. I feel like our dogs are part of our family's and should be treated with love and respect. I enjoy walking so I would love to include your dog in my walks. I am a very reliable person who would treat your pet like it's my own. I love dog kisses and muddy paw prints are no problem.

I will make sure your dog is always on a leash and walked in a safe place. Plenty of hugs , pets and love will also be part of our walk.
“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!”
“Lindsay was super wonderful. She took good care my dog and followed the instructions I gave her. She was super friendly and flexible as well. I would definitely recommend her to anyone.”
“Thank you Justin & Melissa for taking good care of Nick for me . I will definitely use your services in the near future. Thank you for being so accommodating for us . You’re the best . Thanks again Mike”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was a kid. Many of them were street dogs of all kinds. I feed them and gave them much love. My dad is the major dog lover in the family.

At home your dog will be indoors, in a warm quiet and very clean ambience. We will take care of your pet as if was ours. Your dog will be invited to play with us, cuddle, lay on the couch with us, spend time outside, do some walks and tours in the neighborhood. We will treat them really greatly and will share a lot of love and joy. We really baby sit because we enjoy it very much!
About: If you are looking for someone to either check in on your animal while you are away or want them to stay at my home, I can provide the best, loving, and exciting atmosphere that will keep your animal happy and thriving.

About: I have had pets most of my life. I quit my job and started a non-profit, St. Lewis Foundation, which didnt work out, so all the animals in my care became my pets. They were mostly senior and unwanted animals, which is where my heart is. I am unemployed right now, looking for remote work . So I am home all day. I have the time to let your pup out as many times as he/she wants. If they are a little dog I will be right by their side. I am up 6a - 9p. I have 3 senior cats that sleep up high most of the day, so your pup needs to be okay with cats. All pups sleep with me in my king size bed (if they want to). I have a dog bed next to me in my office or a couch in front of a large front window. I have locked screen security doors in case your pup likes to sniff the air. Central AC (I like it cool) and heating. I have many balls and treats (if allowed) and would love to throw the ball a bit. Back yard is not huge but sufficient. All my dogs have passed and I am missing a dog so much but cant commit right now. So let me love on your pup!
About: I've had dogs my entire life, but really started taking a lot of responsibility for their care around 12. From small breeds to large, I've loved them all! I have experience with behavioral issues, medication administration, seizures, and other medical issues. I'm a stay at home mom of two beautiful disabled children. We have one cat and one dog. I'm always home and available during the day for boarding. We have nice, big yards and we live in a very friendly neighborhood! I'd also love to help take care of your babes on the weekends, evenings, and occasionally during the week! I have an unfenced but spacious yard. Our home has the capacity to keep everyone separated if needed, but lots of room to be together, too! We have plenty of room for a crate, if that's how your sweet babe thrives, but we also support snuggles during sleep, too!
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 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!

“Jessica & Matthew were wonderful walking Sparky, even saving her when she broke out of her leash chasing a cat. I would highly recommend them & definitely use them again if needed.”
“Kristin was an excellent walker for our black lab, Chief. He can be a handful at times, but he took to Kristin straight away. She fit us in last minute, was on time, and sent us beautiful pictures from their walk. Looking forward to having her walk and dog sit in the near future. Thanks, Kristin!”
“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.”

About: I helped care for family dogs and cats since I was about five years old, feeding, giving water, walking and cleaning up after them until I was 18. I have boarded two dogs for a friend and provided drop-in visits for a former neighbor for about a year after that and worked at a pet hotel from '17-'19 in which time I got a dog training certification. I have some experience taking care of mice and hamsters and would like to learn how to care for rats and snakes. I'm currently looking for part-time work and would be more than happy to provide the love and care that your fur babies require in your absence. I'm also a newer driver and could really use the experience. Afternoons and evenings work best but please don't be shy about asking for morning services. Depending on the service and your pet's needs, I will spend as much time as they need whether it be a brief or long walk, cuddling on the couch, etc. I will be working part-time starting April 14, 2024. I will have a schedule ready sometime afterwards. Hopefully it will be in the next few weeks. I will keep your pet indoors for the most part, depending on the pet. I prefer to keep dogs on a leash when they go out for walks and to potty unless there is a fenced in yard.

About: Hi! My name is Brooklin, and animals have been a huge part of my life for over 18 years. I have hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, breeds, and personalities. I previously worked with the Charleston Animal Society, where I gained valuable experience caring for animals and understanding their individual needs. My background has given me the skills to provide safe, reliable, and compassionate care for your pets while you're away.

I understand that every pet is unique, and I take the time to learn their routines, preferences, and personalities. My goal is to treat every animal as if they were my own and provide pet parents with peace of mind through dependable care and communication.

I enjoy going to the dog park, as well with adventuring outside anywhere with the animal(s). Whatever you set for rules or boundaries I’ll always continue to respect them, and always follow. I enjoy working with animal(s)
About: I have enjoyed dog walking/sitting for the past 12 years. I started in high school and instantly fell in love with it. I enjoy daily walks myself, but they are always more fun with a walking buddy I am in school and working part time. My schedule is open most afternoons and weekends. Since my schooling is fully online I have a somewhat flexible schedule. I have a big yard that is perfect for letting dogs run around and a middle-aged cat who loves making new friends, though he is perfectly happy to sleep in a dark corner if the friends are not so friendly.

“This was my first time using Rover (and the first time having anyone outside of family care for my puppy), and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! I have a young Doberman with a lot of energy, and Arya was patient, calm, and firm in just the right way—which is exactly what she needs. He took her on a nice long walk, and I really appreciated the videos he sent along the way. They gave me peace of mind and made the whole process so much less stressful. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for someone reliable and confident with energetic dogs!”

About: While I'm more experienced with cats in my home, I have always been the go-to pet sitter for all friends and family. I appreciate that they get just as excited to go for a w-a-l-k as I do. It helps that my schedule is extremely flexible since I'm a bartender who works odd hours. I can do early mornings, late nights, and a mix of anything you need in between. I'm a bartender, so I am available early mornings, late nights, and a good mix of anything in between. The bar I work at is also closed on Sundays and Mondays, so scheduling on those days is completely flexible. My cats are fairly active, so we spend quite a bit of time playing fetch or hide and seek (cats are so odd). I also take them on bike rides with my bike trailer attachment. I'm also equipped to handle medication needs. I don't crate my cats when I'm not home, so that would have to be provided by the client if there is a requirement for one.

“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.”
“During the introduction meeting Carolina and her family were all so welcoming and kind and Carolina was obviously on point professionally so I was completely comfortable with leaving Onyx with them. The appointment went very smoothly and I highly recommend her to anyone needing a dog-sitter.”
“Alex is just great. My dog loves it there, and Alex takes good care of her. His communication is excellent and he sends pictures of her having fun. I highly recommend him.”
“Kelly went above & beyond to keep Duke engaged and comfortable. She was highly attentive, picking up on all his behavioral communication, which can be subtle sometimes. I'm not sure if she's a natural Dog Whisperer or it's from years of experience, but it's definitely a skill I don't take for granted. I only needed him to be out from under my feet for one day, but she gave him the full vacation treatment. She kept me updated throughout the day with detailed check ins, which I really appreciated, noting his responses to the new environment, how he was interacting with the household, his appetite, his energy levels. She took the time to take a lot of photos, as well, so I could see for myself how he was behaving. Duke returned to me happy & rested - if I ever need to send him away to "camp" again, I'll definitely call Kelly.”
“Our two pups were well taken care of and had a great time. Absolutely loved the fenced in yard and daily walks. Thank you so much for making their first experience seamless. Definitely will be booking again.”
“Evie and Zoey had the best time! It was so great to get updates and pictures of them while we were away. I look forward to them having a steady place to stay anytime we go on vacation. They were clearly well cared for and happy when I returned. Thank you for taking such great care of my babies!”
About: Taking care of pets has always been part of my life. I have a fenced in yard for dogs to run and play. As for walks, I have to active kids who are always willing to take a walk around. I currently work at the local school just minutes from my home. I come home middle of the day. I am home during the summer and on weekends. I have a fenced in yard and one dog who is a big baby. Dogs are allowed to lay wherever they are comfortable but can also crate if they are used to that.
“Dana was AWESOME! We have two finicky border collies that don't warm up to just anyone and need a lot of mental and physical activity - thus, we have very high standards for their care. Dana exceeded our expectations! Dana was kind and patient with them, and have them plenty of activities for their brains (e g., puzzle toys), and bodies (e.g., plenty of walks). She was very engaged with them and even worked commands with them for added mental stimulation! Our dogs came back very happy and well cared for. We will definitely be boarding with her again, and can't recommend her enough - ESPECIALLY if you have timid or dog/people selective dogs. Dana is a very conscientious and responsible dog owner and sitter. She is also very communicative and will send plenty of updates and photos.”
“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!”
“We’ve always had great experiences using Rover however, Luann went above and beyond anything we could ever imagine. Luann shared pictures of our dog on daily walks, car rides and other doggy adventures throughout the day. Luann is a true pack leader.”
“Jennifer was wonderful with Joe. She pampered him during his visit with lots of snuggles, and even a park trip! Joe was very happy during his time with her. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter.”
“Lauren did a great job caring for my dog Stella! She was able to accommodate a last minute boarding request and sent daily pictures/updates. Stella came home happy and well taken care of.”
About: I've taken care of pets since I was a child-- growing up with a large breed and small dog and two cats-- I've always loved animals. I have a large breed dog named Chewbacca and an adult indoor cat named Chase. Both are friendly with other animals, easy going, and playful. I work from home most days so I'm very available! I'm here in my house and I'm happy to offer lots of love, comfort, cuddles, and address any special dietary or medical needs when your pet stays with me! My older large dog is very sweet and sleeps most of the day, but he enjoys playing with other dogs and otherwise is great with cats and any other animals he encounters! I have a large fenced yard on just over an acre outside of Ithaca. Dogs can run and are very happy here when visiting! I am happy to supervise any bathroom breaks or keep your pet on a leash if you prefer them not running the large yard-- whatever feels most comfortable! I will follow your care instructions precisely to ensure your pet gets the love and attention needed.
“This is the first time I've left Luna in a place where I feel completely at ease and confident. I can't express enough gratitude for this experience. It allowed me to take care of some family matters, knowing that my little girl was in excellent hands.”
“Coop had just a fun time! As happy as I was to have him come home, I know he was sad to leave his new friends! It was so cute to see Justin's little girl with his leash walking him!!! Besties for life!! Would recommend Justin and his family to anyone!”
