House Sitting in Applegate Corner

“Daniel watched our 3-yr old dog while we were away, and he did a fantastic job. He was great at communicating leading up to our vacation (confirming details) and sent us detailed daily updates while we were away! I felt really confident that our dog was well cared for! We will definitely ask Daniel to watch our dog again.”

About: I grew up with cats but have gotten lots of puppy-love taking care of the pups of neighbors, family and friends! I am patient and take the time to meet dogs where they're at, whether that's running around the lawn or lazy belly rubs on the floor. I believe in respecting pups and kitties alike, and am always careful to watch body language and learn their boundaries so that we both have the best experience possible. I have chronic pain that can flare up without warning; I am receiving treatment that has made those flare-ups much rarer, so there should be no issues when it comes to caring for your furry friend, but if there ever is a hiccup I will communicate promptly and clearly. When taking care of any pet I like to write down any and all notes on the pets' care routine and preferred habits in the home so I can make sure they are comfortable as possible while their normal humans are out and about.

“Claudia took great care of our dog and our home while we were away. Skyler got the exercise she needed. Claudia is super reliable and communicated with us each day. Thank you, Claudia!”

About: I have always lived with pets! :) I grew up with dogs Ella and Koikkie when I was little, and loved walking and playing with them. In college I couldn't have a dog, but I did get my first cat, Oliver. He was more or less feral when we found him but with lots of love and food, he became a lap cat with a happy home on a farm. Two years ago I moved to Ithaca, and have two 3-year old Siberian cats, Nadja and Moose. They need a lot of exercise and play which includes taking them out on leashes to walk around the block. I also frequently cat sit for my friends who have a mix of young and old cats. I'm currently working part-time 5 days a week. I am available for weekend pet-sitting and short visits during the week. I work until 3pm on weekdays, and am available at most times on the weekend. I am more than happy to stay in your home with your pet, and would love to give them treats and attention. I love spending time with pets and can send you daily photos at their cutest moments :)

“Colleen was communicative and showed up for a last minute request. She was great with my pittie and we’ll definitely be booking her again in the future!”

About: I grew up in a household full of animals and have been pet sitting for neighbors for as long as I have been old enough. I've had dogs, guinea pigs, a rabbit, chickens and numerous other small creatures who I have loved over the years. My profile picture is of my parent's golden doodle! I am currently a physical therapy student at Ithaca College who is spending the summer here in Ithaca and looking to dog walk/sit or pet sit! I am not planning on doing any boarding of animals because of my household's allergies but I am available for house sitting, drop-in visits and walking!

“We were so lucky to have Sawyer petsit for our new dog while we on vacation. Sawyer was very responsive setting up a get to know you visit right away. We felt our dog was in great hands with Sawyer and trusted her completely. Sawyer was great at communicating and sending photos. Our dog really liked her!”

“Shannon took excellent care of our home and animals while we were away. From our first contact, they responded quickly and communicated clearly, and asked great questions to get to know our animals and routines. When they came out to the house to get oriented, it was immediately clear how much Shannon loves animals. While we were gone, they sent us lots of photos and updates, and took everything about our quirky home and the wintry weather in stride. When we got back, our dogs and cats were relaxed and happy, our chickens were safe in the coop, and our house was tidy. We will absolutely book with Shannon again! Thank you!”

About: I’ve taken care of all different kinds of pets from one hundred pound dogs to chinchillas and reptiles. I was lucky enough to grow up in a neighborhood with lots of animals and found great joy in taking care of them. As a kid I volunteered at my local shelter and saw first hand how each animal has a different story. Above all I love pets and understand what your pet means to you. I am college student with a flexible schedule. I am available weekends and weekdays and can work with you and your schedule to make sure your pet gets the care they need. I prioritize quality walks and play time. I care about your pets well being and understand that meaningful one on one attention helps them feel safe and happy. I make an effort to be fully present during our time together, creating a calm and intimate experience tailored to each pet’s needs.
