House Sitting in Clay

“Margaret stopped by our house to meet Ruck before sitting for a few days. Margaret followed our instructions to a tee and provided us with photos each time she stopped by to Ruck for a walk.”

“Allison was awesome. We agreed on a schedule, she stuck to it, very dependable. She kept in touch, told me when she arrived at the house and when she left, gave me updates on my boys and sent pics. When I got home the dogs acted as if I had never left. I'd recommend Allison to anyone looking for someone to stay with their pups.”

About: I began working as a neighborhood pet sitter and dog walker in my early teens. Since then I have accumulated a decade of experience in pet care, including working at rescue, doggy daycare, and pet boarding facilities. I have always striven to achieve the highest quality of care. If your pet has a complex care routine, rest assured that I will show great attention to detail in meeting your pet’s needs. I have enthusiastically accommodated dogs and cats with special behavioral, emotional, and medical needs. I have significant experience in administering prescription medications, including pills, topicals, and injections. I also have over a decade of experience in pet-sitting for exotic animals, including snakes, lizards, frogs, fish, chickens, rats, and various invertebrates. I am currently working part-time, so I have ample availability! I am free throughout the day on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays. I am free before 6AM and after 5PM every day of the week. I am not available from 6AM-5PM on Thursdays, Fridays, or Sundays. I have been visiting client’s homes for pet care for many years. It’s extremely important to me to treat client’s homes and house rules with the utmost respect.

About: I absolutely love pets, all kinds and all sizes! I have always pet sat for family and friends growing up, and have helped raise a litter of puppies on my own. I currently have 2 cats and a dog myself, and have experience rabbit sitting as well. I love to get outside when I can and happy to read/study with a cuddly buddy by my side. Let me know how I can help! I love the beach, the mountains, parks, and staying inside with a furry friend. Hit me up if you need me! I work 8:30am-4:30pm Monday-Friday so happy to stay the night and hang with any furry friends in the mornings and after work, as well as plenty of time on the weekends! I have my own car and live in Syracuse. My cats are both indoor cats for their own safety and for the safety of the local wildlife. We do not have a fenced in yard ourselves so we make sure to walk our dog, Miss Jo, as often as we can, and are actively teaching her safety commands and recall.

“Diana was fantastic and we would 100% book her again. Our two dogs took to her quickly at our initial meeting, which put me at great ease. She stayed in our home for 3 nights with our 11 month old puppy and our 14 year old dog. They both have completely different personalities and needs. Diana sent us videos and photos of the dogs, and little updates each day. The house was also well taken care of and looked as if no one had been here. We were able to enjoy our trip without worry and knew the dogs were in good hands. I would definitely recommend her for anyone looking for a sitter.”

About: I have extensive experience in pet care. My fenced backyard offers a safe and spacious environment for dogs to play, and in the summer they can even enjoy swimming. During the first few days of their stay, I usually prepare a special fried rice and beef mix to help them adjust to the new environment. Some dogs also enjoy a small ice cream treat after meals. I am truly dedicated to ensuring that every pet feels comfortable, happy, and well-cared for while staying with me. Pet care is naturally built into my daily routine. I follow a consistent schedule every day: morning feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, and a short walk. Throughout the day, I provide playtime, mental stimulation, and regular check-ins to make sure every pet is comfortable and safe. In the evenings, I do another walk, feeding, and quiet bonding time. On a weekly basis, I clean and sanitize pet areas, wash bedding, and review each pet’s needs so I can keep their routine as close as possible to what they’re used to at home. In My Home: I provide a structured, safe, and comfortable environment. Pets follow a consistent routine including regular feeding times, potty breaks, supervised play, and walks. I give each pet a designated rest area with clean bedding, fresh water, and personal space. I supervise pets closely and make sure they never access unsafe areas or open doors. I keep the home clean, calm, and pet-friendly at all times. In Clients’ Homes: I maintain each pet’s routine exactly as the owner requests. I follow their feeding schedule, walking pattern, training rules, and preferred daily habits. I send regular updates, photos, and reports to give owners peace of mind. I respect the home, keep everything tidy, and ensure all doors, gates, and crates are secured after every visit. My focus is always on safety, consistency, and keeping pets comfortable in their familiar environment.

“Great with both my puppy and senior dog”

“Amanda took on my Daisy girl last minute, went along with all of my change in plans, sent lots of pictures and videos, and was very communicative. Even though she only cared for her for a night, I know my girl was super well taken care of, and our house was in perfect condition when we got home! Definitely would recommend to anyone else ☺️”

Leah H.

“Taryn did a wonderful job taking care of my dog while I was in Asia. I received numerous photos and updates and felt so relieved my girl was taken care of. Thank you, Taryn!!”

“Jenn was amazing. Libi fell in love with her immediately. They went for walks, snuggled and baked doggie treats. Jenn is a true animal lover. I would 1000% recommend her time and time again.”

About: I’ve been around pets my entire life, mostly dogs. I’ve owned my own dogs since I was 12, and I currently own a German shepherd and a Coton De Tulear. I consider myself a true animal enthusiast and I believe that caring for them is more than a chore, but something you need to be passionate about to give them the best care they deserve! QUIET HOURS: My quiet hours daily are from 10pm - 7:40am. During these hours I will not respond to requests or messages. If you need to submit a booking you can, just know I won’t respond during the aforementioned hours. HOUSE SITTING: I am available for full day visits (except Mon & Wed mornings + weekends) for dogs who need constant care ONLY. If your dog is fine being alone for the majority of the day, please book through my drop-in visits instead. Currently I am not doing overnight stays due to certain circumstances concerning my own pets. DROP-IN VISITS: For pets who are fine being on their own during the day but need check-in’s + playtime throughout. 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!

About: I have a huge soft spot for all animals, I treat my own like she’s my daughter. I want nothing but the best for all pets I work remotely 4/5 weekdays, 5/5 if needed. So I’d likely be available to provide company and attention to any pets for most of the day. I take great care of my own pets and others, some might say I spoil my pets. No matter the environment I will love on your pets

“Alexis was just wonderful, she took great care of Henry!! She sent me lots of photos his walks and being spoiled! I was able to enjoy my vacation away without a single worry,Thank you so much for everything!”

About: Schedule-Monday through Thursday we are available after 5 PM. 🫠😁Animals have always been a part of my life growing up. Some of my family has a farm which I got to experience and learn from. I would walk a dog named Molly. She belonged to an older person who struggled with it. All 4 years of high school I was responsible for her grooming, as well as making sure she had plenty of extra love. I truly enjoyed the trust of this pet parent, and Molly that I gained from this time. I wish to continue that commitment now with the pet parents I will be able to meet on here. I truly hope to get the chance to gain your, and your pets trust by reaching there needs. -Christian Rosario My week is surrounded around taking care of my own home and animals. I have flexible hours with my job. If I am unable to be home my girlfriend is there all through the week. She only works weekends as a traveling vet assistant. On those days I am home to reach our animals and your pets needs. They will always be given attention and love. I have a fenced in back yard and two dogs of my own who are trained and help me train other dogs. Both are working emotional support dogs, as we understand they need a purpose to feel a part of the pack. Our house is big enough that no animals have to be together at any point. If this makes pet owners more comfortable and would like there pets separated to enjoy some alone time.

“If I could give 10 stars I would. We have an elderly dog, 17 years old. She can't hear and can only see out of one eye. Nicole was very patient with her, making sure she got in and out of the house in the horrible weather we had around the New Year. Our under 1 year old kitten adored Nicole. We were afraid that our pets wouldn't want us to come home! Nicole kept us up to date, sent pictures which were important to my 10 year old daughter, and kept the house nice and tidy. It was so nice to be able to go away and not worry. She also brought in our mail and had the driveway snowblowed! She went above and beyond. Highly recommend!”

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 :)
