My poor cat was not feeling well while Adrienne was watching her, and she handled everything like a champ! I was obviously worried being away while this was going on but she made me feel much more at ease.

Noah is great! He and our shy kitty got along immediately, and Noah was very communicative about what happened during his visits. Highly recommended!

We couldn't be happier with the care our cats received! Victoria did an amazing job looking after them while we were away. It was clear from the updates and photos that our cats were comfortable, well cared for, and getting plenty of attention. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive cat sitter. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of our furry family members!

About: Ever since I was a small child, neighbors and friends have entrusted me to check in on their beloved animals and ensure they are fed, played with, and cleaned up after. As an adult who normally teaches full time, I have house sit for colleagues who have children and take them on vacation while I look after their dogs and their parents' chickens across the street. I don't work summers or during school breaks and I don't have kids so I have a lot of flexibility and free time when school is not in session. I'm great with animals On breaks and weekends, I can make pet care my sole focus. No children or other pressing obligations means that I can give all my attention to your furry friends. I come prepared to enrich your pets time and can read a book while they sleep. My husband can handle my household chores so that I don't have to leave your house if that is what the job entails. The only real routine barrier is my teaching job but that is only during week days in the 10 month school year not accounting for planned holidays, Summer or weeks off. I can prepare food, take on walks, clean litter boxes, give medicine, regularly keep water bowls cleaned and filled, play with and ensure that all animals are where they are supposed to be when I turn in for the night or leave the house. I will defer to client's needs or requests as well for anything out of the ordinary.

Daniel was great! Our dog barks a lot when initially greeting strangers. He made her feel at ease and soon enough, they were playing fetch together. We will definitely contact him again for drop ins and house sitting of our dogs.

Kaylee is an excellent pet sitter! She took care of our two cats for 12 days while we were away, and we never had to worry about a thing. She keeps you updated and informed of everything going on with your pets, and cares for them like they were her own. You will love having her take care of your pets and your pets will love her too! Our shy cat, who is always under the bed whenever anyone comes over to our house, warmed up to Kaylee incredibly quickly. We will definitely book her again in the future,

This was our first experience with Georgia, and she was just amazing! I am a pretty anxious pet "mum", but I learned quickly how trustworthy she is, even with complex situations. I loved the updates after each visit, and how she found time to know our cats' personalities and preferences. Now that we are back, I have the impression our kitties are really missing her. It's a relief to know there is such a competent and dedicated person to take care of our pets when we are away. Thank you so much!

Joey spent over a month with my puppy, and was so wonderful in training and caring for him. They developed a great relationship because of the way Joey interacted with him. They were very communicative, flexible, responsible and trustworthy. Highly recommend to all pet owners and anyone needing an extra hand!

About: A proud cat mama and dog auntie, I have extensive experience caring for pets in my neighborhood and family. I lead a very active life (run 4-5 days a week, walk daily), and would love your pet’s company! I also work from home, so will be around to give your pet lots of attention. My social work background has given me lots of tools to deal with pets of all personalities and types with compassion. I currently work from home, so I have plenty of time to play with your pets. I also lead a very active life (run 4x a week, walk daily), so will make sure your dog gets lots of exercise. I have a large house and a yard, with lots for a dog to run around. I also have a pet cat, who is extremely friendly and great with other pets.

Rose was super! Very communicative both before and during care, very organized, friendly, responsible and reassuring. I have a range of pets with various needs, and she cared for both the dog and cat so wonderfully. I felt very secure knowing Roae was taking care of my fur babies. I also appreciated all the updates and photos. Highly recommend Rose!

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.

Rossy was a super great pet sitter! Patient with my dog, flexible, and attentive. She wrote extremely detailed notes and took lots of pictures that put my mind at ease about my dog's care. I especially loved that she was willing to meet my dog beforehand who is pretty skittish. With her patience my dog who is usually terrified of strangers went a long way toward building trust with her. She also was very flexible with a few times adjustments I had to make to my dog's schedule. I will definitely be reusing Rossy.

Caroline did a great job checking in on my cat daily as requested. She understood and did exactly what I wanted her to do for my cat and then communicated everything to me. I was reassured that my cat was being cared for very well which meant a lot to me. 🙏🏼 Caroline
