“Daniela is a great dog and house sitter. She can think on her feet about caring for my elderly dog; she made sure my dog was fed, exercised, and slept safely. Plus devoted companionship! My house was spotless upon my return and my old girl unfazed by my long weekend away! Five 🤩 review! Plus ❤️❤️❤️”

“Daniel is fantastic! Our dogs had an amazing time with him. He kept us up to date and sent us photos every day! He was able to get our dog’s trust from day one and make them feel okay while we were away. Our flight was delayed by about 10 hours and he stayed with our dogs extra time to make sure they were able to eat dinner and be taken out one more time before we got home. I will definitely reach out to him again in the future.”
“Sarah was a godsend to be able to accept my very last minute request! She was super friendly, flexible and communicative and clearly a dog lover. If I am ever in this area again I would definitely book with her 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.
“Caroline did an amazing job taking care of our dogs Ally and Penny and our house while we were gone for 4 days. Everything was better than we left it! Thank you so much Caroline!!!”

About: I am a true animal lover!I have a genuine passion for all animals, and I truly believe they deserve love and respect, especially when their families are away. I currently volunteer at the Ithaca SPCA, where I walk dogs every Sunday. This experience has not only deepened my love for animals but has also taught me the importance of providing each pet with individual attention and care. I understand that every animal has its own personality and needs, and I strive to cater to those while ensuring they feel safe and loved. When you choose me as your animal sitter, you can rest assured that I will treat your pets as if they were my own. I will provide them with the same respect, love, and attention they are used to, so they can feel comfortable and happy while you’re away. I work from home and am able to take time for daily check ins and have weekend availability as well. Taking care of animals truly brings me so much joy and I am beyond happy to make the time that is necessary to take care of your sweet pets. I currently have no pets living in my home, but have a few feline friends that frequent my apartment. I know that a pet is as important as a family member and holds such a special place in the lives of it's owner. I make sure to provide all necessary attention, love and nurturing to a pet when needed.
“Claudia got along great with Skye. The dog was happy and the house in order when we got home. Claudia was on time and sent us updates with pictures. Her care met and exceded our expectations. We look forward to having Claudia back again. Thank you Claudia!”

“Rachel was fabulous to work with. Responsive, diligent and was lovely with our kittens, Frankie and Olive. She even left us 2 hard copy photos and a sweet note for our return. We won’t hesitate to book Rachel again.”

“We came home from a four-day trip to a happy, healthy dog who received Rose's excellent care. She was equally gracious about caring for our house, even our ailing basil plant. And her pet photography gave us the best photos we've had of our dog in a long time. She's also a joy to be around. We would give her ten stars if we could.”

“Chris did a great job again with Luna, Mia, and the fish. All our pets were well-fed and happy when we returned. We appreciated the daily pics and great communication. Thank you, Chris!”

“Ashley was wonderful with our 16 year old lab. Our dog requires lots of extra care which Ashley didn’t mind at all. We felt comfortable and had peace of mind knowing our dog was in good hands. Definitely recommend her for your pet.”

“What peace of mind to have Claudia take care of our dog! From the many photos and videos to her excellent communication, we were able to travel knowing our dog was in good hands. I would be thrilled to have her take care of him in the future.”

“Joules was great with our anxious dog! They helped make sure he was comforted during 4th of July fireworks and were flexible when flight changes shifted our plans. We appreciated knowing Toby was taken care of!”

“Linnea was great! Availability, communication and paid attention to details (meds/food). She stayed to take care of our two 50 lb dogs for a couple nights and we would book with her again.”


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 :)
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!
“Karina did a great job with Bella and was openly kind, courteous, trusting, attentive, responsible, respectful, communicative and just all around the perfect pet sitter! She was so accomodating and helpful from the initial time I reached out to her. I was so relieved and happy when she said she could help! Bella, enjoyed time with Karina too. I could tell bc when I arrived home Bella was well adjusted and it looked like I had never left. Definitely will book Karina again and recommend her to all. You won't be disappointed!”

Noah is the absolute best dog sitter we have ever had! He is a clear and punctual communicator. He is skilled in working with dogs of all temperaments and took extra time to allow my timid rescue to warm up to him. Now she adores him and looks forward to his visits! He is very thoughtful about all aspects of their care and has been fantastic on walks and overnights. We look forward to his updates and photos and always know they are happy and at ease with Noah. I highly trust and recommend him.
