“My dogs loved McKayla and she took wonderful care of them. She was also very commutative and I appreciated the daily updates. Will absolutely be hiring her again and I highly recommend!”

“Angela was totally amazing. This was my first time trusting anyone other than family with my babies and Angela made it so easy. She communicated with me daily sending pictures and updates and my dogs loved her. I will definitely be asking her to come again in the future.”

About: I’ve had pets my entire life, whether it be dogs, cats, or chickens. I’ve been the go-to sitter in my neighborhood for the past several years, providing boarding, overnight care, and potty breaks. I have experience dealing with all kinds of pets and am frequently called to sit for one dog that is unable to tolerate anyone but myself and his owners in his home. I strive to make every visit something your little family members look forward to as the highlight of their day. I am currently a full-time student commuting between my home and Ithaca college. With only a few classes per day and access to a car, I am available to check on your pets several times throughout the day and provide overnight care every weekday. I have experience caring for all types of pets overnight, whether they’re one for nighttime zoomies or nervous nightmares. I’m prepared to accommodate your pets with anything they need to make their time with me enjoyable. During the day, I will be able to provide long walks, frequent playtimes, and transport to the dog park or any other fenced in areas, if that’s what your pet likes most.

About: I've always been a dog person, I have four dogs of my own. I've been walking dogs and pet sitting for years, I will take care of them like they're my own. They will be taken care of, fed, played with, and shown affection. My schedule is extremely flexible, I have class two days throughout the week in the morning. My weekends ans rest of the week is completely but open. I will always put your dogs first. I am energetic and will keep your dog busy. I've cared for all sizes, breeds, and ages. I can help train puppies. I can walk and pet sit more than one dog at a time, if you have multiple dogs I can still excell in the job. I’m currently a doctorate student while also owning my own company, which gives me a very flexible schedule. I have plenty of time throughout the day to give your dog the attention, playtime, and care they deserve. I’m available for boarding both during the week and on weekends. I also offer drop-in visits on weekends and occasionally during the week, depending on my schedule. I prioritize making sure each pet feels loved, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fully fenced-in backyard where dogs can safely play and get plenty of exercise. I also have three friendly and playful dogs who are well-socialized. However, I understand that every dog is different, so I can easily separate dogs when needed while still providing them with space, attention, and access to the yard. I ensure a clean, safe, and supervised environment at all times so you can have peace of mind.
About: I started pet sitting as soon as I was old enough to stay home alone for friends, family, and neighbors. Throughout the years, I acquired lots of different clients through word of mouth. I have experience watching a variety of types of pets and at home I have three loving cats. I also have experience giving pets medication. Most importantly, I have a passion for all animals and I can assure your pet would be in the best possible care with me. I work in the tasting room at a Cidery in Ithaca. During the winter, I only work a few days a week so my availability is more freed up. At the moment, I would need to watch your pet at your house. My current apartment has a strict pet policy and I am only allowed my cats. I am open to sleeping over, just staying for the day, or popping in at scheduled times. When I am staying at a client’s home, I have the utmost respect and make sure to keep the line of communication open.
“Kelli took great care of my pups! She really cares about what they like and what you might be working on with them. She definitely was a big help to me and with text and picture updates my mind was at ease!”

About: Hey! I'm Yazmeen. I've been petsitting for the last 8 years. I started with my sister and continued on my own. I have experience giving medication and with senior dogs as well as kittens. I love a long walk if the dog is up for it, and I'm always down to play and snuggle. Let me know if you're interested! My schedule is pretty flexible right now. I I usually wake up early, so I don't mind an early walk or feeding schedule. I typically go to bed around 11pm-midnight, but I am happy to work around a pet's schedule, especially to accommodate any medications or weather. I was raised to leave things better than I found them, so I always do a thorough clean before I leave a petsitting gig (including washing sheets, so you can go straight to bed!) I can also bring in mail and water plants if you give me a watering schedule.
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.
