“Excellent stay! Our pup got love and attention and someone was always home. The house is comfortable and welcoming. The fenced-in yard is a must! Kathleen had no problems with our specific dietary needs and Sammie came home happy and not stressed at all. Will use again!”

About: Hi Neighbors, I am a Natural World Enthusiast looking to provide support to pets and their owners in the community. My heart is geared towards animals. I have decades worth of experience caring for dogs, cats and other small pets, from my own to friends and clients in the professional setting. My goal is to provide a sense of physical, mental, and emotional well being for your pet. I am here to help fill in the gaps in your busy schedules and be there. So whether your pal needs a hike, walk around the neighborhood, a feeding, medication dose (dogs and cats) or just a visit, I have your back. We all need movement, attention and praise, pets included. I use positive reinforcement as training method, for all pets at every stage. So whether you have a puppy with some aggression issues, a husky that needs a run, a diabetic cat, fish to be fed and admired, or an stinky old man dog that just needs to be sung to and told he's a good boy I am here to serve. I have two cats personally, they run the household and tell me what to do. They eat twice a day, get their boxes cleaned daily, and petted and played when they decide. Monday- Thursday I am available for pet visits from 10:30-2:30 and again from 5-9 pm Fridays - I am available from 10:30-1:00 for visits Weekends-vary During daycare hours I will always be in the home with your pet unless we are going on an outing together. Play, snacks, walks, songs, and naps will be provided daily. I do have two cats, who will probably stay out of the way, but cat friendly creatures are always preferred.
“I booked Sara last minute before my camping trip. She was amazing with tallula. She sent me so many pictures and videos of her enjoying her freedom in the yard and even making friends with her chicken. I will be booking her again for my next camping trip!!”

“Kenzie had such a great time here, she fell asleep on the way home from all the fun she had. We received lots of pictures and updates while we were gone. We would definitely bring her here again!”


“Gus had the absolute best week ever! Debbie was fully active with him and communication was above and beyond. It was like summer camp for pups, in all the very greatest ways. Swimming, running, snuggling and hanging with some new besties! I was more than pleased with his care. I usually travel with Gus, but this was a week he couldn't come and it was even better for him. 10/10!”

About: I have been around dogs all of my life and have experience dog sitting for family members and friends since I was young. I am available part time to love and care for your dog(s) and cat(s) while you are away! I have a male Malshi named Gus Gus that will be with me while house sitting or pet sitting in my own home. He gets along with other small dogs well! He loves to play! He does not come with me to drop-in visits. Your dog and I will play games, go for walks, and be best buds during our time together. I will provide basic pet care duties, such as walking, feeding, playing, brushing, and bathing if necessary. I will clean up any messes that may have occurred and make sure your dog is safe and comfortable at all times until you return home. I have availability during the week after 5:30pm to care for your precious little fur baby. I am not available every weekend but when I am, I will have open availability and can hangout with your pets all day! I treat mine, my friend’s, and family’s pets like family members. I treat them like the precious little babies that they are! We play, get treats for good behavior, take baths when there’s been a little too much fun outside, we brush, eat breakfast and dinner, and cuddle before bed time.
About: I’ve taken great care of dogs and cats my entire life. From puppies & kittens to older pets it has always been a great joy of mine to ensure they are receiving the best care possible. Friends and family have always relied on me to care for their pets when they are out of town or in a pinch! I currently work full time with a couple of days off a week and evenings free. I am happy to give whatever time I can to help you care for your pets. I am happy to follow your boundaries for caring for your pet and give them as much attention and care as you wish! My number one priority is making sure your pet(s) are safe and taken care of.

“Tammy took great care of my little man! Her home is so welcoming and plenty of space for the pups to run around! I could tell he was very spoiled at her place! I'm so happy to have found a spot ill be able to take him all the time that I can trust!”


“I’m so grateful I found Bobbi Jo! I always have so much anxiety about leaving my energetic, but shy border collie with people. So much that I rarely go on vacation. Bobbi Jo gave me a lot of confidence that she could handle my pup and that my fur baby would be happy. She’s my new go to!”

About: Hello! I grew up on a farm where we had plenty of dogs and cats and your basic farm animals. I have trained and taken care of all different types of breeds. I have had English bulldogs to labs to Dobermans. I have gone to dog training classes and have experience with puppies and older dogs. My senior English bulldog passed away and I am not in a position to have a puppy full time. So I would love some animals around the house to keep my company! The days I’m available are when I’m off work and spend most my time at home on these days. Therefore I can fully take care of them, play with them and train if needed. Well in my home I have a fenced in back yard, but I would still watch and hang out with them if that’s where they wanted to be. I would take the animals on walks as directed by the owner. I live in a very safe area with families and it’s a fun neighborhood to walk around in. At both the owners and my home I would make sure the dogs always have water unless otherwise directed- this is very important especially in hot climates like CA.
About: I've been a devoted dog mom on and off since 1998 and truly love caring for and walking our furry companions. While I'm currently taking a short break from having my own pup, my love for animals hasn't changed. I live alone and genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs, and I'm excited to support other pet parents through reliable pet sitting and attentive dog walking. Every pet I care for is treated like family. I work full-time Monday through Fridays. 830-5pm. Would be available to check in and walk your pups on the lunch hour and evenings and free most weekends. I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment for every pet in my care. I live in a spacious townhome on a quiet dead-end street. Perfect for peaceful walks. I'm also close to a lake with beautiful walking paths for longer, relaxing outings. I'm available for in-home stays and house sitting, and since I live alone with no pets or children, I'm able to give each dog my full attention and care. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities.
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 11 years old. It started with my family dog, along with family members dogs. I would walk them and feed them. I then got my own dogs that I do all care for. I started fostering with a local rescue in 2022. I’ve cared for dogs with medical issues. Anywhere from Seizure disorders, parasites and other various medical issues. I treat every dog that I care for as if they’re my own. I currently work full time, M-F 730a-330p. I am able to check in, walk, feed, etc, dogs before work, during my lunch and after work. I have 2 dogs of my own. We live in a 3 bedroom house. Unfortunately, I don’t have a fenced in yard. I do take my dogs on multiple walks everyday along with utilizing a tie out (if they want to stay out longer), and would do the same with yours, so they get some outside time.
“Cinthia was great! Very responsive, has a great place and caring family that took care of our pup. She immediately connected with our dog and her, and her family, went out of their way to make him feel comfortable in their home. Highly recommend!”

About: I have 8 acres of playtime land I used to breed Australian shepherds I have a long history of taking care of animals of all sorts and lots of love and patience I am full-time so your dogs get around the clock love and attention and lots of check-ins with Mom and Dad where I go they go with permission or they go in the kennel for no more than 2 hours at a time you will be notified when that happens I am unable to be at other locations for right now but when in my home they are fed in the morning and as many times as you request let outside minimum of five times a day lots of toys and entertainment I have dog proof to everything to the best of my ability my dogs will be separated from your own if you request it 😁
About: Pet care found ME... I did not find it. After cuddling with random dogs I'd meet on the street my whole life, someone finally asked me "Why don't you take care of pets professionally?" And thus a career was born (which I've adored ever since). I owned my own pet care company for over 15 years while living in NYC and NJ. Now, I’m based in Ithaca, and look forward to taking care of your fur baby! I am not working full time and have plenty of downtime. Thus, my schedule is super flexible and easily adjustable to your pet care needs! I treat all pets as if they were my own. I had a chow chow for many years, which was a member of our family and that is how I view ALL animals. They are part of our lives and our hearts and should be treated with just as much kindness and love as their human counterparts. Hospitality and pet care are my main sources of income. I work nights in hospitality, and my schedule is fairly flexible. I will always make every fur baby take care of my priority! I can take care of pets at your home or mine. I live in a three story/three bedroom townhouse, so there is plenty of room. The townhouse community sits on a big piece of open property. I absolutely LOVE playing with your pets--whether they are in my house or yours. I especially love giving them lots of love and affection!

Kimberly took great care of our dog Fawkes. He is a rescue and has his challenges, but he warmed out to Kimberly quickly and we knew he was in good hands. It gave us such peace of mind knowing our baby was being well cared for. We will definitely use Kimberly again!

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in NY ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
