About: My name is Michelle and I am a former teacher, now stay at home mom to two babies and one dog. I have always had dogs in my life. Growing up, I had a Sheltie and two rescue Beagle mixes. Currently, I have one sweet pup, a hound named Benjamin who is equal parts lazy, silly, and "follow the nose." As a former teacher, I know how busy life can get. I also know how hard it can be to find someone you trust to take care of your fur babies and I'd love to help. I'm currently available occasional boarding services (check my calendar for availability). I have a large, fenced in backyard. For boarding, dogs MUST be fully house broken, crate trained, and 100% good with children as I have two small children in the house. Not accepting puppies at this time. I have a fenced in yard with plenty of room to run and play. I have one dog in my home, he is friendly and ready to play (or not play if your dog prefers, Ben's often a lazy boy, too)! I'm able to feed, walk, or crate your dog as requested. Dogs are allowed on the furniture.

“Kara was on time for the meet and greet. She was engaging and showed genuine interest when we were talking. She has a quick smile which I liked. She got to meet Smoky but Joey was hiding under the bed because it was raining really hard and he hates the rain. It was a very positive meeting and we booked for Easter weekend. Gail”

About: My name is Jess and I’m new(ish) to Broome County! I work for the county have my degree in Criminal Justice. I’ve previously worked with Rover in Denver, Colorado so this isn’t my first go-around! I've grown up with dogs and cats my entire life and now have 2 cats of my own! My mother was also a vet tech for several years and taught me how to properly interact with dogs and cats to make them feel safe and trusting in my care! It's also helpful to have her knowledge handy in case anything arises with your beloved pet that you or I may be concerned about. I also briefly worked as a secretary in a vets office in PA where i regularly handled distressed and anxious animals from cats and dogs to goats a horses! I'm comfortable walking, playing, brushing, and bathing your fur babies, whatever they may need! Expect lots of photo updates! I also have experience administering medications (injections and pills) I currently work for the county on a standard M-F 8-4 schedule. I’m awaiting a promotion that may, at times, require me to stay late if we’re in preparation for a trial but I’ll know well in advance if and when that time comes. I want to ensure you and your pet are as comfortable with my presence as possible! Please let me know of any and all rules/routines/ expectations so I can follow them accordingly!

About: I have always been an animal lover. I grew up with a Labrador Retriever who lived to be 16. Sadly, his health slowly deteriorated as I was in graduate school while living at home, but this allowed me to gain valuable experience with a senior pup. I have always enjoyed horses and horse-back riding, I often volunteered through college at a local stable to get my horse fix! Something about those gentle, giants just speaks to me! I have watched several friends and family members pets at their homes while out of town. I have had friends recommend me to their other friends and family as well. I have demonstrated reliability and integrity. I currently have two cats, Finley and Paisley, and a floppy eared rabbit named Willow. I often bring Willow to work with me; she acts as a therapy rabbit at my place of employment. I also frequently assist my parents with their current rambunctious Labrador Retriever, who I lovingly refer to as my "puppy brother." I assist with walking, bathing, feeding and doing drop ins when they are gone for the day. Currently I do work a full time M-F, 8-4 schedule. However, due to the nature of my job, I have summers off so my availability will be much more flexible towards the end of June. Currently, pet care would have to be in evenings and various weekends. My own pets are spoiled beyond belief and I would do the exact same for yours! My pets are my children, not just animals, and I intend on treating everyone's fur babies as such. For drop ins, I have no problem feeding, watering, changing litter boxes, crating or playing with your pet. For walks, I am comfortable with picking up feces and following leash laws/regulations.

“This was our first time leaving our cats with a sitter, and it was a wonderful experience. From the meet-and-greet, we felt she was a perfect match. She followed our instructions carefully and sent daily updates. We are extremely pleased with her care and will definitely contact her again for any future pet sitting.”

“Rejon is absolutely lovely! She took great care of my senior Yorkie and left me very detailed reports for every drop in. Will absolutely use her again in the future ☺️”

Isabella P.

“Dana was great! She helped me out short notice with my 3 little dogs. She’s great with dogs and did just we asked of her! Would recommend!”

Kerry S.

“Very pleased with Angela's cat care. I would recommend her and hope to use her services again in the future.”

About: Hi! My names Melissa- I’m a dependable and caring animal lover who has taken care of animals my entire life and understands how important they are as members of the family. During my undergraduate studies, I fostered dogs for a semester, which gave me hands-on experience caring for dogs with different personalities, needs, and routines, offering them a loving and caring environment before adoption. I have experience and am comfortable with dogs of all ages. I am willing to adapt and learn how to best care for your animal! I have experience administering medications such as oral, topical, and inhalers. I am currently working part-time and taking an online summer class as a graduate student, so I will have some free time to stop in to check on your loved ones and take them for some needed walks! I am flexible to accept last-minute bookings as well. When in your home, I would love to take your pets for walks, to dog parks, anything you already do with them to make them the most comfortable! Whether it’s a walk around the neighborhood, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, or simply providing companionship, I’ll make sure your furry family member feels safe and cared for. I take pride in being reliable, attentive, and patient, and I’ll treat your pet with the same love and respect I would my own.

“Sabrina did a great job with our pups! We’re a multi-dog household, so it can be a bit chaotic here, but she took everything in stride and met all our expectations 👍”

“Nicole was responsive, friendly, and easy to work with. It was our first time leaving the cats longer than a day or two, so we were nervous but Nicole made everything so easy. Thanks again!”

About: I've always taken care of my family pets, and have dog-sat for family friends! I kept up with meds, food, play, and anything else the dogs needed or wanted. Anyone I've asked said that they were more than satisfied with my care. Over the summer, I'll be taking online classes and have a part-time job, so I'll be pretty flexible when it comes to stopping by or walking dogs! I unfortunately will not be able to offer services at my own home. I have dogs where that type of activity just wouldn't suite them.

About: Hello, my name is Jennifer and I moved to the area from Long Island, New York. I have been in the veterinary field for over 19 years. I am a licensed technician able to perform fluids, oral medications or just walks and a lot of love. I will treat your pet as my own. I have owned animals since being a little girl and have cared for many elderly dogs and pets with disabilities. My last pet was in a wheelchair! I guarantee you will be happy with my service. I am timely, loving, responsible, dedicated, and familiar with many different species of animals as well. Please take the time to reach out and let me meet you and your pet(s). You will not be disappointed! I work at TJ Watson Elementary School but am out by 330 pm. I am available for walks or drop ins after that. Thank you My pets are treated with love, kindness and respect. I am conscious of any changes they show so I can quickly address it. Thank you.

“Lindsay is amazing. She always goes above and beyond with care. I needed to adjust one of my drop-in visits while I was away, and she worked with me to make sure Josie still received the very best care. Great communication. My cat can be shy when new people come over or if she feels likes something's up and will sometimes hide in those cases. She requires an inhaler due to a medical condition, so I worried this could be an issue if she hid. It turns out that I had nothing to worry about as I received many pictures of Josie in Lindsay's looking happy as can be. It means a lot to me to have a sitter that I trust that my cat also likes.”

About: I have been taking care of both cats and dogs ever since I was young for friends and family. I am currently attending college and I am a Licensed Veterinary Technician. I have been volunteering at my local animal shelter walking dogs for almost 5 years. During that time, I have worked with breeds ranging from Chihuahuas to Newfoundlands and I have worked with animals of all temperaments. I also have worked with many species like reptiles and large animals like cows and horses. During my schooling, I have been trained on administering medications to pets and I am able to work with the pets needs! Animals have always been my passion and I have dedicated my career path to helping animals! If you need someone to take your furry family members on walks, or just keep them company, I'm there for you! I work full time Monday-Friday 8-6 with one day off (usually tuesdays) as well as having weekends off! I work full time at a veterinary clinic located in Owego, monday through friday, 8-6pm and typically have friday off. I work a part time job in the morning on weekends but can adjust my schedule there as needed. I have a German shepherd mix and a cat at home, both are super friendly and love to play. Oakley loves to fetch and Denali loves to chase around the laser.

“Colleen was great over the weekend my dog ended up being sick witn pneumonia and she sent messages and pics while I was at work- it’s nice to have a reliable person to check in on my dogs when I can’t be at home. I plan on using her again for sure.”

“Alex was awesome to work with! He came the day before for a meet and greet, followed instructions, took great care of our puppy and communicated very well before/during/after visits. 10/10 recommend him for all your pet care needs!”
