About: I worked at the Herkimer County humane society for a couple years with both cats and dogs and now work at the Anita Stevens Swan Humane Society. I am a student at SUNY Cobleskill for animal science, and continue to work with animals every day. I also have many past experiences pet sitting over the past couple years. I work with dogs every single day and enjoy every second of it. I would not choose to do anything else, animals are my true passion! I have a fenced in yard, and animals who are crate trained. There are also many separate portions of my house in case separation is needed.

“Lillian was a great house sitter. She responded to questions and kept me informed about concerns with my dog's habits. I would have no concerns about her house sitting in the future!”


“Olivia was everything we could ask for in a sitter. She watched our 8 month old Aussie and kitty for a weekend and at no point did I worry about how things were going. She is very knowledgeable about Aussies as she has them herself, which added another layer of comfort for me. She also shoveled our driveway for us, as she had been there during a major snowstorm. Her willingness to help out made our arrival back home so easy. We were welcomed with the sweetest note she had written us about the weekend as well. We will DEFINITELY be hiring her for our future sitting needs!♥️”

About: Dog Boarding, Training, and Socializing Services A Vacation for You and a Life-Changing Experience for Your Fur Baby Welcome to our home-away-from-home experience for dogs. If you’re looking for a loving, fun, and structured environment for your pet, you’ve come to the right place. I joined Rover to provide a true home experience while you’re away. Here, dogs rule the house, enjoying sofas, loveseats, and a variety of comfortable dog beds. I prepare fresh meals daily for my pack, and while your dog is here, they’ll enjoy a portion alongside their own food. These meals include fresh chicken, rice, coconut oil, scrambled eggs, and veggies, prepared like a giant omelet. We’re happy to adjust for special dietary needs—just let us know in advance about allergies or sensitivities. What We Offer Dog Boarding: Safe, structured, and loving care in a real home environment.

Dogs can explore ramps, steps, and jumping platforms for mental and physical exercise. For older or less active dogs, we offer short walks and relaxing options in sunny or shady spots.
