House Sitting in Cayuga

“Margaret was exceptional! She took care of my 4 fur babies, sent pictures & updates daily, and left my home in great condition. I would definitely recommend her pet sitting services and would book her again.”

About: I’ve been caring for animals my entire life. Growing up, I was always around dogs and cats, and over the years my children have also owned numerous dogs and cats, giving me extensive hands-on experience with pets of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals and my commitment to treating every pet like family. I’m patient, reliable, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs. Whether it’s providing exercise, companionship, feeding, administering basic care, or simply making sure a pet feels safe and comfortable while their owner is away, I take pride in providing compassionate and dependable care. After retiring from a nursing career of more than 40 years, I now have a very flexible schedule. I enjoy traveling, but I have plenty of availability to provide dependable pet care and can often accommodate pet owners’ scheduling needs. My experience in nursing taught me responsibility, attention to detail, patience, and compassion qualities that I bring to caring for every pet. Whether your pet needs regular visits, overnight care, or extra attention, I have the time and dedication to ensure they are safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I provide care based on each pet’s individual routine and needs, whether in my home or in the client’s home. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, fresh water, and meals according to their normal schedule. I understand how important consistency is for pets and work to keep their daily routine as close to normal as possible while their owners are away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat both the pet and the home with respect, providing companionship, walks, feeding, potty breaks, and any other requested care. When pets stay in my home, they are welcomed into a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where they receive supervision, affection, and plenty of opportunities to relax and play. My goal is always to make pets feel secure, happy, and well cared for while giving owners peace of mind.

“Kellie stayed with our Frenchie (7 yrs) and English/Frenchie mix (1yr) for 10 days. It was the first time leaving the 1yr old. Kellie did an amazing job handling our two girls with very big feelings, making sure they got plenty of exercise and love while we were away! We would not hesitate to ask her to sit our girls again!”

About: I have 5 years of pet care experience and truly enjoy spending time with dogs. I have cared for dogs for family, friends, and neighbors, including walking, feeding, playing, giving fresh water, cleaning up after them, and keeping them comfortable while their owners are away. I am patient, gentle, and responsible, and I always try to follow each pet parent’s instructions carefully. I understand that every dog has its own personality, routine, and comfort level, so I take time to make pets feel safe and cared for. Pet care fits well into my daily routine because I am usually home and able to give pets regular attention throughout the day. I can help with feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and check-ins. I try to keep each pet’s routine as close as possible to what they are used to at home. I have a fenced-in house with 4 bedrooms, so I can safely keep pets separated when needed. This is helpful for pets who need quiet space, slow introductions, or extra comfort. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully for feeding, walks, medications, and routines. I keep the home clean, safe, and calm, and I make sure pets are supervised and comfortable during their stay.

“John kept us well informed of the well-being of our dogs.”

“Heather was wonderful with our senior dog, Pippin. Though he doesn't have a complex routine to follow, he's a quirky guy that likes to be VERY close to his person, is forgetful, and sometimes barky due to his age. Heather "got" Pippin right away. We felt she genuinely understood his habits and his singular approach to life. Heather sent just the right amount of updates and photos. Pippin was in good hands with Heather. We are very grateful to her and highly recommend her!”

About: I’ve had many dogs throughout my life. I’m truly a dog lover through and through. Close friends and family have always trusted me to care for their babies. We can play fetch, we can take walks, we can just hangout or I can just come by to feed them, let them outside and give them water! I fit pet care into my daily schedule any time I can. I work at a salon where i’m able to leave and come back based on gaps in my daily schedule. I will stop by before work in the morning and after work in the evening and if possible, I will come by some time in between if needed! I can also stay at the house to keep your babies company if that’s what you prefer! I will stop by as many times as you prefer to check in on your babies or I am willing to stay there while you’re gone!

About: Dogs have always been an important part of my life. I currently care for a Bullmastiff and previously owned a Pug who lived to be 16 years old, giving me firsthand experience with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and ages. I understand the importance of patience, consistency, exercise, and companionship. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping your dog company, I will provide the same level of care and attention that I give my own pets. I recently graduated from college, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability to care for your pets. Whether your dog needs a walk, drop-in visit, playtime, or overnight care, I can provide dependable attention and companionship. I understand how important consistency is for pets and will work with you to meet your dog’s specific needs and routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. As a longtime dog owner, I understand that every dog has different needs, personalities, and routines. I will carefully follow your instructions regarding feeding, exercise, medications, and any special care requirements. I am attentive, responsible, and committed to creating a safe, positive, and stress-free experience for your pet while you’re away.

About: Tell your dog I said hi!!! I have taken care of pets since I was 10. My family and friends rely on me regularly to keep their homes and animals safe! I unfortunately can't have pets at my apartment but dog sitting is a way to get my pet snuggles in! You'll receive cute pet pictures if you want as well! I would come to your home and meet your pets first and familiarize their routine with you before you leave. Very open with communication for your needs.

“So grateful for John! Very understanding of the difficulties I had leaving my Luna for the first time like this - sent me multiple texts, pictures and videos assuring me she was doing well and happy. Very flexible with my schedule and made the point to come meet Luna ahead of time on a previous day. Very attentive to Luna's schedule and her specific little quirks. Luna clearly enjoyed her time, giving John a super speed tail wag and some kisses before we left.”

About: We have two very high energy German Shorthair Pointers so I have lots of experience and good energy to bring for high energy dogs or cats! I do work from home full time, I love to get out of the house and do as much as possible with my free time! My dogs and I really enjoy running outside and chasing a tennis ball or finding a good stick to chew on! I look forward to my cats that like to wait in bed for me to play string with them at night!

About: I am currently a Senior nursing major at Keuka College. I grew up with 2 dogs and 2 cats in the house. I unfortunately don’t have any pets in the house currently. Most of my experience is from watching friends pets but I would love to meet some new fur babies!! I’m flexible to drive or to have pets at my house. I do have experience with senior dogs and giving them the medication and special attention needed. I am a Keuka College college student that’s works part time in Canandaigua. I am very flexible over the summer. Availability is posted on my page. I have grown up with pets and am used to taking care of them. I have also pet sitting for neighbors since I was a little kid and still continue to pet sit years later.

“Richard went above and beyond to ensure that our first dog sitting experience was a safe and enjoyable one for our young " doodle"- DOOLEY. He also kept us appraised of Dooley's status during the extended stay, giving us piece of mind We recommend Richard for his pet services and anticipate utilizing hiim again for care of our pets.”
