“Claudia was great! I was very comfortable having her in my home taking care of my fur family. I have 3 dogs and 1 cat, and they all loved her. She was very communicative and send pictures each day which was very much appreciated. I would highly recommend her for house/pet sitting.”
“Sara did an exceptional job taking care of our animals when we were gone on spring break. She messaged us daily updates and sent us videos and photos of our pets. Our pets were healthy and happy when we came back. We will have Sara watch our animals in the future! Thank you!”
“Chris did a great job with Bingo! He was responsible. He kept us informed about how Bingo was doing over the five days, showing us pictures of Bingo. He walked Bingo in various places in Ithaca. Chris kept the house neat. He just did everything right.”
About: I did the animal science program at boces for 2 years where I got to get hands on experience with all kinds of animals such as taking care of dogs. Due to taking the animal science program I am certified as a veterinary assistant. Right now I’m also going to school for my bachelors degree in canine training and management. I also have 2 cats of my own that I’ve had and taken care of since I was 11. Heads up I have 2 cats at home still so for boarding requests I cannot accept cat reactive dogs. It fits into my schedule for the summer because of college break because I won’t have school at all and I’ll be able to give a most of my time to your pets although I do have work Monday Wednesday and Thursday. Although since Monday Wednesday and Thursday I have work from 8 to 11:30 so if doing a boarding I wouldn’t be back home until 4:30 because of transportation depending so dogs have to be okay being home alone for a little bit. If I do house sitting I cannot get to a house after 7am and before 4pm due to transportation because I cannot drive due to medical reasons and only have transportation before 7am and after 4pm. Be up front and open. Follow and respect the animals and if you go to the home respect and follow the rules. I don’t have a fenced in yard.
“We are so glad we found such a nice place for our anxious old dog to stay when we have to go out of town. Hanna accommodated all of our dog's needs. We'll definitely use Hanna again.”
“Five Stars for Coleman! Coleman is a true gem! Our poodle Coby is very attached to us and usually gets anxious when we leave—even if just one of us steps out. So we were absolutely amazed at how relaxed he was with Coleman. From the moment Coleman arrived, Coby liked him. Coleman clearly has a calm, kind energy that animals pick up on right away. Coby was so content during Coleman’s stay that he didn’t even wake up when we returned home—he stayed fast asleep on his bed! That has never happened before. We’re so grateful to have found someone we can trust with our beloved pup. Highly, highly recommend Coleman!”
“Angela was AMAZING with all my Fur babies , 2 dogs and my cat , all adore her!! It was a challenging job as our 7 year old dog, Rex has diabetes and pancreatitis and on a strict schedule for feedings, glucose checks and insulin shots, Our first time leaving him since he was diagnosed and Thanks to her we felt completely comfortable, constant updates and pics allowed us to have a stress free trip”
“Yuting did a great job taking care of our little guy Rowdy. She even came to meet us and Rowdy before the date she would be sitting for us. She sent us pictures and updates while we were out enjoying our anniversary together. It was so nice to have the day and not worry about leaving him. We knew he was in good hands! Thank you Yuting!!”
“Kelli was great the whole step of the way! Communication was on point. She watched our 4 dogs in our house for 6 days. Extenuating circumstances during our 5 day trip included a snowstorm and being stuck at an airport on the last day, hence having to extend Kelli’s stay to another day. She was very flexible and of course said she would help with the dogs another day. A++ for going above and beyond, especially during the snowstorm when we needed her help to communicate with the snow removal guys. Definitely recommend and will be happy to use her to watch our pups again in the future!”
“Kyle was our first dog sitter that wasn't family. He ensured our comfort by doing a meet and greet and a walk before our trip away. Our German Shepherd connected with him so quickly. We loved that he updated us every morning with pictures from their previous day. He has great communication, punctual, kind, and took great care of our dog. We couldn't be happier with our first dog sitter experience.”
About: Ive walked dogs for many years from my own dog to friends or families! I have a love for dogs and enjoy spending time with your furry friends! I am available all day on Tuesday and Wednesdays as well as Thursday to Monday before 4pm. I can walk in the mornings and afternoons. I am also able to do overnights if needed. I lost my cat two years ago to old age and cancer. Although I haven't welcomes a new pet of my own into the home I gave birth to Twin girls! They are now 16 months and LOVE visiting with your animals. Sometimes they come with me for walks or drop ins as long as a meet and greet happens where I see a positive interaction between your animal and my babies. If it's not a good match then I either don't have the girls with me or for wont take the boarding request as they live with me full time.
About: I have always been the animal person in my family, and my community. I’ve always had dogs in my life, but where I’m living I can’t have one of my own, so I’m more than happy to take care of your pets when you need a break! I currently am not working, and I have a farm job starting in June. My availability is very flexible, so more time for hanging out with pups! I can’t bring pets home, but I am very experienced with walking dogs and getting them the exercise they need. I can give your animals lots of love and attention and make sure they are safe and healthy.
About: I’ve pet sat for family members but I’ve also and still currently pet sit for previous teachers. I’ve done an internship at a vet clinic. I completed boces which made me a certified veterinary assistant. I worked at the SPCA while finishing up college. Volunteered at Tanglewood Nature Center. Depending on my work schedule I spend as much time as possible outside of work with your pets. I don’t leave them alone for long at all. I’m easy going, my dog gets crated when I’m not home. I will make sure nothing is sitting out that could potentially harm an animal
About: i’ve been dealing with animals my whole life and i started dog walking 5+ years ago for my disabled uncle and was looking for other dog jobs as well i’m currently working part time so i will have plenty of time with pups. i love working with dogs and learning their unique personalities and how they act i will come to your house and give the pups plenty of love and affection. i feel as if dogs are close to humans and need some love as well
