About: I’ve had experience both in personal and professional dog care. Having multiple pets including dogs my whole life has gotten me experience in every aspect of dog care. I’m currently working mornings to afternoons during the week, so I’m free in the afternoons/evenings and I’m flexible during the weekend. I am available to do daily pet check-ins at your home including letting them outside, feeding and watering, etc. I can also stay overnight.
About: I've always been a dog person, I have four dogs of my own. I've been walking dogs and pet sitting for years, I will take care of them like they're my own. They will be taken care of, fed, played with, and shown affection. My schedule is extremely flexible, I have class two days throughout the week in the morning. My weekends ans rest of the week is completely but open. I will always put your dogs first. I am energetic and will keep your dog busy. I've cared for all sizes, breeds, and ages. I can help train puppies. I can walk and pet sit more than one dog at a time, if you have multiple dogs I can still excell in the job. I’m currently a doctorate student while also owning my own company, which gives me a very flexible schedule. I have plenty of time throughout the day to give your dog the attention, playtime, and care they deserve. I’m available for boarding both during the week and on weekends. I also offer drop-in visits on weekends and occasionally during the week, depending on my schedule. I prioritize making sure each pet feels loved, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fully fenced-in backyard where dogs can safely play and get plenty of exercise. I also have three friendly and playful dogs who are well-socialized. However, I understand that every dog is different, so I can easily separate dogs when needed while still providing them with space, attention, and access to the yard. I ensure a clean, safe, and supervised environment at all times so you can have peace of mind.
“Allia is fantastic! We worked with her for the first time this weekend because our daughter had a 1st birthday party, and our dog Cooper gets anxious around children he doesn’t know. We asked if she could take him for a long walk or excursion and she provided an excellent experience the whole way through. She was on time, professional, has great energy, and greeted Cooper with a hug 😊 You could from the Rover pictures how happy she made Cooper the whole time they were out together; she treated him like family. She sent pictures throughout her time with him, took great care of him, and had great communication about her arrival time back. We’ve been looking to build a strong list of go-to dog sitters/dog walking partners, and you can bet Allia is on our list! Thanks for everything, Allia, and we (and Cooper 🐾) look forward to working with you again!”

“Lydia took excellent care of my 2 cats! I had never used Rover and was nervous about having someone in my home but she left my home tidy and my cats happy. I will utilize her services in the future and would highly recommend her to anyone.”

About: Hello, I’m Abigail. I have had all types of animals my whole life and have had experience working at pet stores and doggie day cares. I strive to keep all animals happy, healthy, and safe at all times! I am home full time, so my schedule is pretty flexible.

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.
About: Here to be a service to my fellow local pet owners. Love, care, and lots of attention is what I believe a pet truly needs. I'd love to help take care of your little family member :) God Bless and be well. I am a part-time student and i currently work a customer service job from home. I have a very flexible schedule to match your needs. Everything can be discussed, and a secure and detail plan can be implemented at your request. Thank you for your support. I'm very vigilant while I'm supervising your pet(s). I know how sudden and mischievous they can be at times lol. Safety is my number one concern when taking care of any living being. Safety first, fun right after.

Watkins Glen pet parents share their Rover experiences
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.

Bill was very kind and sent me photos of my cat Clover. However the contractor repairing my house told me he was only here for 5-10 minutes while I expected him here for half an hour. Since he charges less than the other caretakers, I don't him that much for that.
