April has catsit for us multiple times now. She follows all our instructions, she's very reliable, and a great communicator. I know my cats are well taken care of and I don't have to worry about them when she is watching them. Plus we get adorable photos of the cats!

Victoria is an incredible cat sitter. Our cats require a lot of time and attention, and she handled all of their idiosyncrasies with incredible dexterity. We would highly recommend. She was able to give one of our cats both immunotherapy injections and eyedrops. She communicated well and consistently, and we always felt that our cats were in the best of hands. The best, five stars, two thumbs up, certified fresh.

Kaylee was great! She was able to accommodate me on short notice, and helped me out with early morning dog walks during the worst of the winter weather. She was extremely reliable and always cheerful despite the very cold temperatures and snow. My dog was always excited to see her. Would definitely hire again!

About: I have enjoyed dog walking/sitting for the past 12 years. I started in high school and instantly fell in love with it. I enjoy daily walks myself, but they are always more fun with a walking buddy I am in school and working part time. My schedule is open most afternoons and weekends. Since my schooling is fully online I have a somewhat flexible schedule. I have a big yard that is perfect for letting dogs run around and a middle-aged cat who loves making new friends, though he is perfectly happy to sleep in a dark corner if the friends are not so friendly.

Ashley did drop in visits for my three girls, they loved her and she managed my excitable Husky really well. She is reliable and obviously cares very much for animals. Would definitely use her again for my girls. I just moved to the area too, and she was available on very short notice. Thanks Ashley!

I'm still getting started on Rover, but I've been the go-to pet sitter for friends and family for all my life. My partner and I have one big, silly dog and two very shy cats. I also used to have pet rats and regularly ride and care for horses, so I'm comfortable with animals of all species and personalities. As for me, I'm a Cornell professor without any summer obligations, so I'll be available all day, every day for taking care of your pet. You can trust that I will be reliable, highly communicative, and responsible with your pets. In your home, I will strive to make your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I believe in open and often communication, so you'll receive regular updates on your pet's well-being and cutest moments while you're away. Whether it's cuddles, exercise, medication, or detailed routines, I'm committed to making you and your pet comfortable and happy. I'm currently available almost every day, weekday, weekend, or holiday. Reach out today, and let's talk about how I can provide time and care for your fuzzy, hairy, or scaly family members!

About: Hello! my name is James and I love animals, specifically dogs. I will care for your pets as if they are my own. I've been pet sitting for neighbors since I was 12, and my mom routinely has me take care of her two pups when she is out of town. I recently helped my girlfriend with a pet sitting job and I loved it, and the dog loved me, so that's what brought me here :) I'm currently in between jobs, so I am completely available. I will be out of town September 12th-15th, and this may change soon, but in the meantime time, feel free to reach out for any days needed! I make sure that the dog(s) are fed twice a day, or when requested by the owner, and I am always on top of making sure their water is clean and filled. I will also walk the dogs early in the morning, or later at night, as the pavement can get hot this time of year.

Shelby was fantastic with my boys! She was easy to communicate with, followed all of my care instructions perfectly, and sent daily photo updates, which I really appreciated. My boys clearly enjoyed her drop-in visits. I will absolutely be booking with her again in the future!

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: 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!

About: I have taken care of my own dogs since I can remember. In high school, I walked some dogs in my neighborhood and checked in on them throughout the evening! I have taken care of my own older dogs and have recently been around a lot of puppies, so I know how to take care of both. I am currently in college and have a lot of time to take care of your pet! I would love to get some extra steps in by taking your pet on a walk. I am also new to the area and would love to get to know the community more! I always take my dog on long walks and the same will be true of any walks I take your pets on! I enjoy time playing with all animals and taking care of them!

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 👍

Colleen is terrific! I can recommend her 100% without reservation. On short notice, she was able to drop in several times a day to attend to one dog and three cats. The photos she sent each day were a definite plus. You won't be disappointed.
