House Sitting in Cincinnatus

“Elizabeth took great care of our pets while we were away. We have an anxious dog who we were leaving alone for the first time, and Elizabeth was very patient with him and accommodating. She also gave our cats some much needed attention! Thanks!”

“August is absolutely the best, caring and responsible pet sitter. We felt so comfortable and at peace knowing our fur babies were being taken such good care of. We will definitely be reaching out again for future sitter needs.”

“Chris took good care of Coco, following our directions and’s her routine. He also left the house in good order. Coco was well and happy when we returned. What more could we ask for?!”

“Anastasia was so flexible. We needed to leave much earlier than expected and she showed up early at a moment’s notice. As always, our dogs love her. Thanks.”

“Bridget is amazing. We have problematic fur babies and they did great with her. I wasn't worried at all to leave them and I had a great vacation with peace in my heart that they were being taken well care of. Be sure to use her!!!”

“Carson took great care of our animals while we went away and followed all our little rules to a T! We will definitely have him back to take care of our babies again! :)”

“Naomi is absolutely amazing with my Junie, she’s always so attentive and always gives me updates. As someone who has anxiety leaving my dog I feel so comfortable knowing Naomi is watching her.”

“Colleen used to dog sit for our beloved American Bulldog, Eli. She would stay at our house for sometimes up to a week at a time and always loved him like he was her own. Eli had a lot of health issues and needed several medications, several times a day. He also did not like taking medicine but she was always so great about getting him to take everything. We always knew Eli was well taken care of and got lots of love and special attention when Colleen would stay with him. She would text often and send picture updates for us, and got in touch with us right away if there were any issues. Would highly recommend!!”

About: For majority of my life I have had dogs. Im comfortable caring for dogs of all ages, puppies to senior dogs are welcome. I have experience with cats as well and would love to cat sit. I work from home, my day is laid back. I can drop in to check on your pet(s) as frequent as every 2 hours or as needed. I have two dogs that enjoy lounging, I’ll be able to watch another dog without having any difficulty. I am available to house sit, walking or drop ins. Depending on the energy level of a pet, i will be able to either take them out on short potty breaks or long potty breaks.

“Bobbi Jo was AMAZING. We needed a sitter last minute for our two dogs during our wedding - we wanted them to be there, but didn’t want to leave them alone when we were getting ready, dancing, etc. When she arrived I immediately felt comfortable leaving the pups with her, so I could focus on everything else. She came midday Saturday and stayed until after our wedding; she was comfortable hanging out with us while we got ready, and just making sure the dogs were taken care of. She walked them around the grounds and kept them within arms reach, if necessary, throughout the reception. And then fed them and watched TV with them as it got dark. Her presence allowed us to really enjoy our day! We’re so thankful.”

“Silke was amazing with Wolfie. I felt so lucky to have her watching him and my house. 10/10. I will definitely have her watch him again!”

“Chantal did a wonderful job watching Luna while I was away! She was very responsive, provided me plenty of updates, and left my apartment in great condition. I would definitely recommend her!!”

“Kevin has watched my animals several times for me and has always taken care of them as his own. He is so loving and cares alot about animals. He has even helped me with my dog once when his foot got broken and the one vet said it would have to be amputated but Kevin insisted that he help me get a different opinion and I'm glad he talked me into it. My dog, Marvel, was given a cast and was able to keep his foot. Kevin even helped with the $600 bill. I hope that my testimony helps him with being able to further his passion with watching others pets. He has plenty of space in his yard and he is very attentive to all animals under his watch and care.”

“Ashley is really great with dogs! She knows how to interact with them and give them lots of love! She kept me updated throughout the whole sitting.”

“Above and beyond. Briana took such good care of the fur and fish family while we were away. On a last minute request over a holiday weekend, she was super accommodating, and did a fantastic job of keeping me updated the whole time. We even had a litter of kittens on her watch and she was phenomenal! Definitely recommend.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was around 10 years old. I love all animals, but especially dogs. We currently have a large breed and a Boston terrier ourselves and a couple cats all of which are rescues. I have an autistic child that only goes to school part time and I don’t have another job so my schedule is pretty wide open. I’m willing to do basically whatever is asked. I have no problem giving dogs medicine, baths and flea treatment. I love hiking and enjoy having a four legged friend along for my walks.

About: Animals have been around me my whole life- I can't recall a time when my family didn't have dogs or cats! I've learned a lot about petcare over the years, as a graduate of Animal Science of Broome Tioga BOCES and a current Kennel Assistant. And even though I love LOVE dogs, I'm willing to care for any animal-- cats, reptiles, fish-- anything! I promise to give your animal(s) the love and care they deserve, when you're not there to. 💕🐾 I work partime between 2:00-7:00, my days off are Tuesday, Saturday and Sunday. I do also tend to have plans on the weekend as well, but if I end up pet sitting for you, I absolutely promise your pet won't be alone for more than 6-7 hours!!!! I care for my pets more than I care for myself!!! My dogs gets fresh pet, supplements, vitamins, coconut oil after every bath, and I groom her myself(even though she doesn't like that much lol.) I also care for my fish very well. My betta fish lives in a 10 gallon tank with shrimp and mystery snails. The tank is cycled, heated, filtered, planted and oxygenated with an airstone. And I feed him and his tankmates a variety of food!
