1. Lindsey P.


“Lindsey has house sat for our dog and cat twice now. We always return to happy pets. :) She is responsible, courteous, and communicative. Usually our dog Penny takes several minutes to calm down when meeting someone new. When Penny met Lindsey, she calmed down almost immediately because of Lindsey's demeanor and experience with dog training. I would highly recommend her.”


2. Cori & Jamie D.


“Cori and Jamie were amazing with the dogs. Kept up with communication and the doggies schedule. Not only did they give them attention and took good care of them, they also gave them some training and stimulation. I'm very happy with their service I booked them more than one time.”


3. Elise M.

“Elise was absolutely AMAZING with our crew of pups. She sent many pictures throughout the day and night they were in her care. She really took the time to learn about each one and give them all of her attention. I will absolutely be rebooking and would highly recommend Elise for any animal care needs. Thank you, Elise!”


4. Bailey " Eliza" M.
“This was our first time using Eliza and we will definitely be using her again. Our cats are usually pretty sad when we're away for more than a day but we could tell she gave them lots of love and affection because they were very happy when we got home. She sent us lots of cute pictures and kept us updated while we were gone too!!”


5. Nicole C.

“An absolutely exceptional dog sitter! Our pup had an incredible time and received exceptional care. The frequent photo updates were delightful and highlighted the devoted attention and affection given to our furry friend. Organizing playtime for our pup with a furry companion was an absolute delight. Since our little girl adores playtime with other pups and is the only one at home, this was a special treat, especially with the weather getting colder. It truly brightened her day to have this social time. Our furry one returned home overwhelmingly happy and pleasantly exhausted from all the excitement. This experience was truly outstanding and highly recommended for anyone seeking top-tier care for their beloved pet! Additionally, the sitter accommodated our last-minute request and went above and beyond in ensuring our puppy's comfort, resulting in her increased happiness. We're undoubtedly returning clients; my little Autumn is thrilled, and that alone brings me immense joy. This woman is an absolute gem—professional, kind-hearted, and highly recommended! A solid 10/10!”


6. Katlynn L.

“Katlynn was so great with our dogs. We added a puppy to our family last minute and she embraced it head on! Our dogs loved her and even watched her leave. I would trust her with my dogs any day of the week! She should be your go-to-gal for this area!”


7. Amanda K.

“Amanda took amazing care of our animals. She sent us pictures and even reached out to make sure we got home okay. I highly recommend Amanda!!”

15. Brittany P.
About: Hello there! My name is Brittany. I'm 32, and currently live in Watertown, NY. I work at a Dunkin’ Donuts, full time. My true passion is animal care. To be honest, rescue. I worked as an animal care taker for almost 3 years at an animal shelter about 4 years ago, and since then I've been trying to get back into the field. I tried doing this site previously, but was not satisfied with the way I set things up. So, now I'm back, with more time and rules! I want to make sure that everyone, including myself, feels safe and secure knowing who is being involved in each others lives. ***I DO NOT DRIVE*** I can get myself mostly around the area. Anywhere beyond Watertown I can't promise I can come to you.. But my home is open to all. I'm very active, so your pet won't be bored. I'm friendly and caring, and would like to meet you and your pet before we go ahead with any sort of transactions. I have an indoor/outdoor cat who is feisty, and a bit territorial. She doesn't like other cats AT ALL, but she can cope with other animals. I would definitely prefer a meeting with her before coming in. I know this isn't much, but if you haven't read all of my details, I will not answer back. This is a very serious thing to me, and I want to make sure that all animals and peoples needs are taken care of! ***Please note I DO NOT use choke collars. I use harnesses. I have posted this in multiple areas here so please make sure you know this first*** I’m looking to go down to part time at my job right now so I can fully focus on my pet care. Hopeful to go full time with this. I see animals as family and I understand their needs pretty well. I’ve done a lot of animal training. I can read body language easily and strive to make the time spent with me very comfortable. I do NOT use choke collars, I use harnesses. Please let me know if I should bring one along

“Dino was wonderful with our dogs and communication with us. Having never had anyone stay overnight with our dogs, Dino helped put our mind at ease, updating us multiple times through the day with pictures and videos Our dogs had a blast and were very well taken care of. Dino was very polite, punctual and our dogs have a new friend. We will definitely look for Dino for any future visits!”
