“Highly recommended! Great communication! She sent us pictures and updates so we were never worried. We will definitely take Angel back to her again. Super nice!”
“Cindy and her family were wonderful hosts and caretakers of Bruno during his stay. Bruno had only wonderful things to say, and we were happy to get frequent pictures and updates.”
“My dog was in amazing care while i was away. Sent great updates and lovely footage as well. BOOK IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR A PEACE OF MIND KNOWING YOUR PET IS IN GREAT CARE.”
“Ashley and her family were the best! It was a last minute decision and she accommodated my two fur babies with no issues. They can look intimidating and people aren’t always comfortable but Ashley was unfazed. I appreciated her warmth, her communication and her love for my animals. We will definitely be using her whenever we come back “home”.”
“Lisa took great care of Lulu. It usually takes her a few days to bounce back to normal after boarding, but after the week with Lisa she was her normal self right away. Eating, sleeping and playing like her normal self. Lisa was also great about communicating with us during Lulu’s stay with her. Will definitely book with Lisa again.”
“Our dog had a great stay with Allan and his family. He was flexible, sent daily updates and photos, and our pup came home happy, stress free, and healthy. We would have our dog stay with Allan again anytime.”
“Logan and Ellie were great pup sitters! They were available last minute and accommodated my pup more than I could ever ask for. They treated my baby girl like she was family. Great communication and even sent multiple pictures. Highly recommend! Will be using their services again.”
“Zuri is an absolutely amazing puppy caregiver! She took care of our puppy for several days and treated her like one of her own. We got constant updates and pictures of our sweet girl. Any fears or unease was quickly put to rest after meeting Zuri. Summer enjoyed her stay and even missed her “second “ family when we picked her back up. I would recommend Zuri for boarding hands down! Her entire family was amazing. She is so kind, caring, professional and compassionate. We were blessed to find her. She is extremely knowledgeable about pets and is always willing to go the extra mile for you. We will definitely be back for as long as she will have us!”
“They are great! They’re clearly dog loving people and it was nice knowing our dog was getting a lot of love and attention. Communication was consistent and we had a great experience!! We’d definitely use them again in the future.”
“Jennifer has been very professional and on the top of everything, including keeping me updated with pictures and sending me timely text updates. Her diligence and communication has been excellent.”

About: Hi! I’m Lily, and caring for animals is genuinely one of my favorite things in life. I’ve had pets my whole life and have also worked at a doggy daycare, so I’m very comfortable handling dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I own dogs myself—they’re very docile and love having friends—so I understand how important it is to find someone you fully trust with your pets. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, including anxious pups and dogs with special needs. One of my dogs is deaf and responds to sign, so I’m especially patient, attentive, and tuned in to nonverbal communication. Whether your pet needs high-energy playtime, structured walks, or just a calm and comforting presence, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I’ll treat them like they’re my own—lots of love, attention, and updates so you never have to wonder how they’re doing. I’m reliable, communicative, and genuinely excited to meet your pets. I can’t wait to give them the care they deserve! My schedule is flexible and allows me to provide consistent care throughout the day. I currently work full-time, but I’m in the process of transitioning roles, which gives me increasing availability. My partner is home by 2:30 PM every day, and we’re both home in the evenings, so your pet will have plenty of supervision, attention, and company. We make sure pets are never left alone for long periods and always prioritize their comfort and routine. I’m happy to work with your pet’s specific schedule and needs—just let me know what works best for them! Your pet’s safety is my top priority. We have a fully fenced-in backyard with turf, providing a clean and secure space for safe outdoor play and bathroom breaks. Inside, our home is pet-proofed to prevent access to anything unsafe, and we always supervise interactions to ensure a calm and controlled environment. I’m attentive to each dog’s behavior and needs, and I take introductions slowly to make sure everyone feels comfortable. You can trust that your pet will be in a safe, secure, and well-managed environment at all times.
“Kristin, you were so great with Daisy! The pictures and texts you sent on how Daisy was doing made us feel really good. When we picked her up, she was all smiles and excited! I highly recommend Kristin to anyone needed a dogsitter!”
“I recently boarded my dog, Wolfie, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. He was walked every day, and it was clear he had a fantastic time. The picture updates were a wonderful touch; they showed just how happy he was. Jayden and his family who took care of Wolfie was truly wonderful, providing exceptional service and demonstrating a high level of professionalism. The quality of care was excellent, and the price was very affordable for the outstanding service received. Overall, I highly recommend this dog boarding service. Wolfie had a great time, and I appreciate the peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands.”
“Celine was wonderful! She kept us posted with pics of our dog enjoying her deck and sleeping comfortably on her couch. Celine was easily accessible and a joy to talk to. We will definitely rebook her in the future.”

“Kaity was an amazing pet sitter for our 2 kittens! She did an awesome job taking care of all their needs. Her communication was reassuring and top notch. It was wonderful to see pictures of our kittens every day so that we knew they were doing great!”
“Hannah was wonderful with our kitty while we were away, Thomas really enjoyed her company which isn't always a given, and I appreciated the extra care when a painting fell and by taking care of our fish tanks too! Top notch sitter and will absolutely book again in the future.”
“Vivien was an INCREDIBLE support and pet sitter while I went on my honeymoon for 6 days. She stopped by twice daily to take care of my two cats. She has excellent communication skills, and really went above and beyond! She clearly has a deep love for animals and you sense that in her enthusiasm. My cats, Milo and Loki, took to her and you could see that in the photos she'd send. I could rest assured they were in good hands. We looked forward to her updates every day and she's just a gem: helpful, authentic, caring, dedicated to providing great care to pets. We highly recommend Vivian!”

About: I’ve spent three years caring for various cat breeds and personalities. I’m comfortable with everything from active kittens to older cats, focusing on keeping their environment stable and following their usual routine.
“Autumn is an amazing Rover. She is on time, very patient, and has great communication skills. Once again did so well with our rescue dog, who is still learning how to live a normal doggie life. Very happy to have found Autumn & recommend to anyone.”
“I have sought Mary’s services multiple times. She always follows instruction, makes timely visits and goes above and beyond in her care of Fran. If you’re considering Mary for your pet(s), you won’t be sorry.”
“Megan F. Took such good care of my cat, Luna. She sent pictures every day and commented on Luna’s well being. My cat doesn’t care much for strangers but would get in Megan’s lap from time to time. I definitely recommend her services.”
“Breanne did a great job with a last minute drop-in request for my cat Moby. She was a very prompt communicator and to my surprise, was able to snap a photo of my stranger-shy kitty. I would definitely recommend her for any pet sitting needs!”
“My kitties were very well taken care of and I appreciated the notes and pictures while I was away, it's definitely clear that Renee enjoys cats and understands their quirks.”

Will be rebooking with her asap, she made traveling so easy for us.”
“Highly recommend Kayla! I have a 19 week puppy full of energy and Kayla surely gets all his energy out like requested. She doesn’t just let him out to go potty and sits around. She actually plays with him and makes sure he’s running around and spending all his puppy energy. I’m very happy with her services!!!! Used her twice already and will be rebooking for sure.”

About: Hello! My name is John’Asia. As you may see by viewing my photos, I have a huge heart for fur babies. It all started when I volunteered at a local animal shelter in my hometown. I fell in love with the idea of taking care of the pups/kittens there. That’s when I decided to start my own business in the pet care industry! This is not just a business this is my passion/dream job! I do not have any pets of my own, therefore I treat all of the furbabies as my very own under my care. I am here to provide you the best service for your family member. I am trustworthy, energetic, reliable and prompt. I am very excited to meet everyone’s pets! I am really hoping to attract repeat and long term fur besties. Also, I will require a meet and greet with me. Thank you! I am a full time pet care provider. My schedule is open from 9AM - 8PM Monday - Saturday for walks & visits. 24hrs/7days a week for housesitting & boarding. Don’t worry, your fur baby is in great hands. I will be sure to send you daily photos of your fur baby for your comfort. Drop Ins & Walks: I love the excitement of fur babies when I come in because they know it’s play/snack time when they see me lol! Also, if you need me to feed or clean up a possible accident, that’s not a problem! Boarding: I treat all pups as my own while under my care. Your pup will go everywhere (Bike Rides, dog park, summer events, trails, etc.) with me except other homes I service! Your pup will feel like he/she is on vacation as well!! Did you see the new play area & boarding area I created. Check out my photos!!!!!! Lol they will have a great time & it will show in the daily pictures! **Disclaminer the back yard park & playhouse are no longer effective due to me moving into an apartment** Housesitting: Same as boarding but in the comfort of their home! Your pup will go everywhere (dog park, dog events, trails, etc.) with me except other homes I service! & Ofcourse they can sleep in the bed with me!! Lol Bike Rides: If you would like to book a bike ride, please request through walk or visit! -Best Pawjama Pawties In Town!!
“Celene is legitimately the best dog sitter you could ask for. She not only is an early riser but is a night owl. Celene sends updates and ask questions without even being asked. She not only puts effort in towards jaxsons training she has even went out of her way to teach us on how we could be doing different/better. Celene also makes sure that jaxson gets the proper food/water/bathroom breaks as he needs. He doesn't come back hungry, needing to potty, or beat up. Penny, celenes dog, is hands down the cutest little thing I've ever seen. When I get there she is happy to greet me at the door with kisses and tail wags. Jaxson also loves penny and always comes back PROPERLY wore out. My final thoughts are if I could had another grandma I would ask her. Shes been there for us EVERY time we've need her and that's at the end of the day all I could ask.”
“Maxi hadn’t been to Emily’s in a while and he was so excited when we dropped him off. Evidence right there of how great she is. She’s very responsive and keeps in touch with pictures and/or videos while Maxi is there. We don’t think you could find a more caring sitter.”
“I found Beth on rover prior to my relocation to the Ohio area temporarily. I was super nervous leaving my dog but felt at ease after knowing she got to play with other dogs and did well. She spent two days of daycare at Beth’s and didn’t want to leave after the second day! Thank you so much for being a trustworthy dog sitter!”
About: Ever since I was a kid I have had a love for dogs. I was always the one in my family to take the reigns, teach our dogs tricks, potty train, etc. My favorite thing about dogs is their loyalty, no matter the kind of day you are having they are always there for you. Their presence is always something to look forward to. I am always the go to guy for friends when they are out of town and need someone reliable to help with their fur-babies. I will ensure your babies are cared for just as well as if they were my own. Big or small I will care for them all. I currently am a Freelance Graphic Designer that hosts trivia in local bars a few nights a week. Very flexible hours to work from home. I have a large fenced in yard to run around in and when I come to folks home I always treat it like my own.

“If you’re looking for someone in the Fort Drum area, you found her. Maddie is very quick to get ahold of, and is beyond flexible. I was delayed one night to pick up Eva from daycare and Maddie was quick to offer to let her stay the night, that helped very much. Also, Eva was so relaxed there, she really wasn’t in a hurry to leave; which never happens.”
“Elisabeth watched our puppy and did an excellent job! We received lots of pictures and video updates. She was well taken care of and had so much fun! We will be using Elisabeth from now on when we need a dog sitter. 😊”
“He did a phenomenal job! I booked last minute and he was very accommodating. He brought Dakota into his home with Kya and Roo, and made him feel very welcome.”
About: My sister and I moved back to our home town and moved in together (along with my 10 year old niece and my 2 year old daughter). Both of us have had pets all our lives, including owning dogs from as small as 20 pounds to as large as 120 pounds. My doggie Odie stayed with my ex in California and our current family recently and unexpectedly lost my sister’s mini-Poochon, Cosmo. We recently adopted a Labradoodle! Grover is super sweet and loves to have playmates but also understands how to give other dogs space. My 2 year old loves all animals and understands how to give dogs space and to read physical cues (lip curl, growl), but unfortunately, we can’t dog sit or board any dogs that aren’t okay with small children. We are okay with dogs that need some extra care (meds, help going outside to potty, etc.). We have a large fenced yard and we welcome pups in all parts of our house. Thanks! I work from home, my sister watches my two year old in the house, and my 10 year old niece does online school so lots of options for care and cuddles. My parents are also just a few minutes away if we ever need back up! We have a large fenced yard and can do walks as needed (although with some limits when the weather is super cold). We welcome pups in all parts of our house including bedrooms on the second or first floor if pups have a hard time with stairs.
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, and now I have my own dog, Winston! I’ve dog sat for around 10 years and have provided entertainment, house stays, walks, and love to multiple dogs. I have experience with big dogs and small dogs, though my dog now is small. I love to go for walks, play catch, engage in tug-of-war, and snuggle after a long day of playing with the dogs :) I’m currently working part time, so I’ll have plenty of time to take your pets on walks! Weekends typically free for boarding/sitting. Very flexible with drop-ins and walks! I have a big yard with plenty of space for the dogs to go outside. I also live nearby a park and a nice neighborhood where we can go on lots of walks. I am familiar with harnesses, crates, and various leashes and am confident in my ability to provide safety for your pet!

“I have a broken foot and cannot walk my senior dog Dusty. I was leery to hire someone I didn't know. Mark was amazing with Dusty !. He got right down on the floor to greet and play with him. He even coaxed Dusty to take a longer walk. I highly recommend him for his positive and eager approach to dogs.”

I can easily crate your pet and give medication if needed. I do not discipline unless you express that as a request. I am very patient and positive with animals.

About: I have had dogs my whole life! People have called me an “animal lover” since I was very young. Sometimes, spending time with animals is more enjoyable to me than spending time with people. I have a lot of energy to play and run and cuddle with your doggos! I am open, enthusiastic, silly, playful and fun with humans and with dogs :) I will treat your dogs as my own.

Spending time and taking care of and playing with animals is pure bliss to me. It is an honor to know them and love them. I basically give them all my time and energy. I dont usually spend more than 4 hours away bc i dont want them to be lonely. I will do the same with your babies.
“Lauren is awesome with my dogs. Shes always very sweet to them and notifies me if their tummies are upset. She even helped clean up a mess so I wouldn't step in it when I got home. Her and her family have been such a great help. I can't say enough positive things.”
“Tucker loved Megan. She was very flexible on walk times working around weather developments. I will be using her in the future when I have my knee surgery. Thats one less thing to worry about.”

I follow all care instructions closely, keep your home secure, and provide regular updates so you can feel confident while you’re away.
About: I've had pets ever since I was a young pup myself. I can tell when they need something and love taking care of animals when they need it the most! My family loves animals as well! We have 3 dogs (2 small and 1 medium). Let us share our love with your little one for awhile! I'm a military vet and stay at home father. My wife is currently Active Duty Navy and mother of 3 beautiful young ladies. I spend most of my day with my 2 dogs. We go to the park l, car rides, and other fun activities. I have a large & friendly neighborhood with plenty of places to explore. We encourage walking for both the pet and our own health. We have 2 friendly and playful dogs to keep your fur baby company as well! If there are any medications or special needs, we will make sure your baby is taken care of! They are family! Our dogs live a good life. They have beds, treats, toys and a loving family. Our kids and their friends love to take them outside and run with them! We keep our pets up on their shots and will do anything we can to make sure your pups enjoy themselves. We brush our pups twice a week. Bathe them 2x a month. (They like a little dirt on them for awhile) we take walks and runs every week to keep us all in shape and limber. I provide my pups with joint support treats everyday. Our pets are crated at night to prevent any accidents. Whatever your pet is use to is what we will attempt to accommodate. We currently have a fenced backyard and friendly neighbors with pets as well.

About: Hi! I’m Lily, and caring for animals is genuinely one of my favorite things in life. I’ve had pets my whole life and have also worked at a doggy daycare, so I’m very comfortable handling dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I own dogs myself—they’re very docile and love having friends—so I understand how important it is to find someone you fully trust with your pets. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, including anxious pups and dogs with special needs. One of my dogs is deaf and responds to sign, so I’m especially patient, attentive, and tuned in to nonverbal communication. Whether your pet needs high-energy playtime, structured walks, or just a calm and comforting presence, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I’ll treat them like they’re my own—lots of love, attention, and updates so you never have to wonder how they’re doing. I’m reliable, communicative, and genuinely excited to meet your pets. I can’t wait to give them the care they deserve! My schedule is flexible and allows me to provide consistent care throughout the day. I currently work full-time, but I’m in the process of transitioning roles, which gives me increasing availability. My partner is home by 2:30 PM every day, and we’re both home in the evenings, so your pet will have plenty of supervision, attention, and company. We make sure pets are never left alone for long periods and always prioritize their comfort and routine. I’m happy to work with your pet’s specific schedule and needs—just let me know what works best for them! Your pet’s safety is my top priority. We have a fully fenced-in backyard with turf, providing a clean and secure space for safe outdoor play and bathroom breaks. Inside, our home is pet-proofed to prevent access to anything unsafe, and we always supervise interactions to ensure a calm and controlled environment. I’m attentive to each dog’s behavior and needs, and I take introductions slowly to make sure everyone feels comfortable. You can trust that your pet will be in a safe, secure, and well-managed environment at all times.
“Kristin, you were so great with Daisy! The pictures and texts you sent on how Daisy was doing made us feel really good. When we picked her up, she was all smiles and excited! I highly recommend Kristin to anyone needed a dogsitter!”
“Barb was flexible with drop off and pick up times, she was kind, friendly, and provided updates on my dogs throughout their stay. She texted updates with pictures daily, and didn't charge extra to give my dog his several medications. I would choose her again for my pet-sitting needs.”
“I recently boarded my dog, Wolfie, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. He was walked every day, and it was clear he had a fantastic time. The picture updates were a wonderful touch; they showed just how happy he was. Jayden and his family who took care of Wolfie was truly wonderful, providing exceptional service and demonstrating a high level of professionalism. The quality of care was excellent, and the price was very affordable for the outstanding service received. Overall, I highly recommend this dog boarding service. Wolfie had a great time, and I appreciate the peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands.”
“Celine was wonderful! She kept us posted with pics of our dog enjoying her deck and sleeping comfortably on her couch. Celine was easily accessible and a joy to talk to. We will definitely rebook her in the future.”
“Beth was incredible with my two German Shepherds. She is very knowledgeable, experienced, and caring and it shows! I would recommend her and her home to anyone looking for an incredible experience!”
“Autumn did an awesome job watching my dogs! Very responsive and willing to negotiate my weird schedule at the last minute. She took some adorable pictures and her daughters were very friendly and gave the dogs lots of love and attention! Would definitely recommend.”
“Im so glad i found maddie! She was so accomodating and enthusiastic about watching our dog for a couple days. She had no trouble handling my dog, even though he struggles with anxiety and food aggression. She gave candor all the attention he needed, and he came home a very happy dog.”
About: I provide personalized pet care for dogs and cats of all ages — from high-energy pups who need plenty of walks and playtime to senior pets who appreciate slow strolls and calm companionship. My services include drop-in visits, walks, and overnight boarding, each tailored to your pet’s unique needs, habits, and comfort level. I believe great pet care is built on trust- which means reliable communication, prompt updates, and lots of adorable photos. You’ll always know how your pet is doing while you’re away! I’m known for being responsive and detail oriented, with a strong reputation for consistent five star experiences. ⭐ Senior pets hold a special place in my heart, but I truly love them all- from first wags to grey muzzles. I understand how hard it can be to leave your pets, so I care for them as if they were my own. Whether you need daily walks, weekend boarding, or gentle senior support, I’ll make sure your pet’s tail (or purr) tells you how loved they are when you return. 🐾 Pet care is my full time focus. My flexible schedule means I can offer consistent walks, drop ins, and overnight stays. I’m typically most available Sunday through Wednesday, but I’m happy to adjust if your travel or work week shifts. Reliability and adaptability are my top priorities! I have extensive experience with dogs who require medication, rescues who need patience, and even cats with unique routines (I’ve even trained a few to do tricks!). My home is also pet-friendly, safe, and full of positive energy. Pets in my care get attention, enrichment, and affection- never just supervision!
