Dog Sitting Central Square

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life, and have grown up around dogs. I currently own a German Shepherd and Coton De Tulear, both of whom are my pride and joy, along with the rest of our pack. I understand that these precious souls mean so much to so many people, and promise that under my care and supervision they’ll be treated with the utmost respect and love, just as if they were my own! Starting August 24th, I’m a full time student, so I’ll be available M/W - before 12:30 and Tu/Th - after 1pm, all day Friday, and no weekends. I can do full-day house visits (no overnights), drop-in’s, and walks. It’s all dependent on what my clients homes are equipped with! If you have a fenced yard and high energy dogs, I’m more than happy to take them outside to play and explore, or play inside. Treats are always an option, as are pets, cuddles, and plenty of love for your fur babies!

“Jessica arrived early, like she did the first time I had her come, and she was very attentive to my dogs. We will continue to use Jessica when we need Rover! Thank you, Jessica!”

About: I've been a dog owner and lover my whole life, and I've cared for dogs of all ages — from wiggly puppies to sweet senior babies who just need a little extra patience and TLC. I have hands-on experience with small breeds and understand that little dogs often have big personalities and specific needs. My home is calm, safe, and welcoming — no chaos, no stress. I've also cared for dogs with special needs, so I'm comfortable with medications, mobility issues, or anything that requires a little more attentiveness. When your dog is with me, they're not just being "watched" — they're being cared for like they belong here I work from home in a calm environment. I have two cats that are very well behaved and one dog who is a little crazy. She is deaf with some separation anxiety and OCD, but she is such a little sweetheart. I spend all day waiting on these guys hand and foot, what’s one or two more? 😊 My sweet, friendly dog will keep yours company all day long. I live on a cul-de-sac and we take several walks throughout the day.

“Jen was wonderful attending to my dog's needs twice a day while I was on vacation. She sent me pictures and gave me updates with every visit! I'll definitely rebook her again, if she's available!”

I absolutely love all animals I have 2 cats 2 dogs 1 a dalmatian the other old english bulldog, pug and beagle mix and also 3 parakeet, they also basically run our home 😄.

I have a small yard and when my dogs are out im with them the entire time so your dog would never be alone and would also have playmates. I also have a crate if needed as well. I give lots of attention and treats, my dogs sleep with us or my 2 kids at home still who are 18, and 19.

“Nora did a fantastic job with my cat! On our first meeting with her we felt very comfortable. I was quite nervous about how my cat would be but she sent pictures and comments everyday to ease my mind. I would highly recommend Nora. She is so sweet with my pet and very reliable. I hope that she will be available in the future! Thanks Nora!”

About: I have 18+ years of experience caring for a plethora of animals, ranging from cats to dogs to birds and reptiles, with a keen eye for behavioral signs and traits. I worked in the veterinary realm as a journalist for renown international veterinarians for 2+ years, learning lots of skill sets and tips and tricks to ensure your pet is happy, healthy, and as stress-free as can be. I also have experience in fostering strays and finding them their furever homes, and with caring for FIV kitties. I cannot wait to take care of your fuzzy, feathery, or scaly pet! 💕 I am currently doing remote freelance work and have a flexible schedule for the most part. As long as I have a 5-7-day notice prior to vacation plans, I’ll always do my best accommodate your schedule. I currently live with 5 beautiful kitty cats that are truly my entire world. I like to keep a clean home, so I typically will clean up any accidents or messes that may arise due to inappropriate elimination/litter/accidents/etc. I also pay very close attention to every animal I take care of so I can be in tune to any behavioral changes that may arise due to stress or an underlining illness. For dogs, I like to get out as much energy as I can so they are nice and relaxed by the end of the day. I absolutely love playing chase/going for walks/fetching/tug-of-war/etc, and have experience with a variety of dogs ranging from havanese to bully breeds to labs and everything in between!

About: I have cared for my own dog for the past 13 years and sadly he died in February 2025. I walked him around my neighborhood consistently for all those years and now having that routine gone is difficult. Before having him as my own, I also helped take care of my families dog for several years. I am experienced in caring for dogs of all ages and demeanors and all sizes too :) I am attending SUNY Cortland right now and that is the only large barrier in my weekly schedule. I can care and/or walk dogs after 7pm on Monday and Wednesdays. I am available after 4pm on Tuesday and Thursday. Friday and Saturday I can provide care all day with a days notice. Without notice I will most likely be working on Friday and therefore not available until after 4pm that day. I can house-sit on Fridays and Saturdays and into Sunday afternoon as well! I will maintain a safe and calm environment for your pet while caring for them and allow them to initiate any desired games or actions. I am willing to accommodate however you prefer for your dog when caring for them, just let me know of anything necessary :) Any questions or concerns for your dog's care are welcomed and appreciated as I prefer a heads up in advance of anything unusual or to keep an eye out/for. Thanks :)

About: I've had family dogs my whole childhood and most of my adult life and this is sadly the first time without one of my own! I've had golden labs and retrievers however I've sat for big and small, senior and pups as well as for family, friends and strangers alike. I am a registered nurse and am trained for humans but able to assist with any emergency that may arise for your fur babies during our stay together. I'm compassionate, loving, gentle, patient and reliable. Between work assignments and travel adventures I have flexibility that allows me to accommodate more dog watching & walking in so I can get all the dog snuggles in! I am flexible and respectful of your home and am a quick learner to adjust to each individual dog and family's needs, wishes and quirks!

About: I’ve been around pets my whole life and genuinely love all animals. I had my first cat at age 4 and grew up with both cats and dogs. I also lived with a rescued pit bull for several years (she had a rough past and didn’t do well around other dogs), so I have some experience with anxious pups on walks. I understand how important it is to build trust and work at a pet’s pace. Whether your pet is social and playful or a bit shy and needs space, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at and give them the best care possible. Even with a full-time job in finance, I make time for what matters—and for me, that includes animals. I work a standard weekday schedule, but my evenings and weekends are all open for pet care. The flexibility of my job may allow for a late morning - early afternoon check-in. Whether its a walk, evening check-in, or weekend drop-ins, I’m happy to build a schedule that fits your pet’s needs. I also spend most of my downtime at home, so if your pets need longer visits, I can give them plenty of attention and company. In your home, I’m respectful of your space and committed to keeping your pet’s routine as normal and comforting as possible. I’ll follow your instructions closely—whether it’s feeding, medications, walking schedules, or just the way your pet likes their favorite toy tossed. I know every animal is different, and I take the time to get to know their personality and needs. If we arrange care in my home, your pet will be treated like one of my own. I have a calm, pet-friendly space and three cat companions who are used to other animals and are gentle and well-socialized. I always do a slow introduction and only bring in pets that I know will be comfortable in that environment. Safety and comfort are my top priorities, whether I’m in your home or you're trusting your pet with mine.

About: I have had cats, dogs and even a horse that was boarded off property that I have cared for. I currently have two cats, who rule our house. I also have chickens and a fish tank with an African dwarf frog. I’m a house wife who watches my grand babies daily during the week. I am home with them all day and pet sit around that schedule. I don’t have a fenced in yard but I would walk your dog on a leash each time they need to go out to go to the bathroom or need exercise.If your dog or cat likes to play, even better! We can get out all the extra energy during my visit.I will care for your pets like they are my own.

“Alexis was great!! She did a meet and greet prior to the day of drop in. My babies were happy and well taken care of in her care. I will absolutely have her do a drop in again !”
