About: My name is Emma and am a recent law school graduate working in Ithaca. I grew up in Vermont with ducks, goats, sheep, chickens, cats, and dogs. As an adult, I love ANY AND ALL animals! I regularly run and hike (but I'm also not opposed to just vegging out). I regularly care for my parents’ German Sheppards. I have owned dogs that are super social and dogs that do not like other dogs. I feel confident in my ability to handle almost any size dog on a leash. I have experience handling dogs with mobility/spinal injuries, dogs that require in-home rehab such as water therapy, dogs that have issues with incontinence, dogs with anxiety, and more! I look forward to getting to know you and your animals!

“Great job with a shy dog. Got her to walk and play. Thank you, excellent job!”

About: My life has always been filled with dogs and cats! I was my parents’ go-to house- and dog-sitter starting when I was 18, and over the years, I’ve cared for and owned dogs and cats of all ages, from playful puppies and kittens to senior pets needing extra attention. Currently, I’m the proud cat-dad of two lovable fur-balls. I’m also comfortable with small animals—professionally, I’ve cared for rat and mice colonies while completing my CITI safety and care training. Plus, My year spent with my pets have taught me how to read animal body language, so I know how to make pets feel safe and at ease. I work from home, so my schedule is flexible. If you’re looking for someone reliable and experienced sitter to drop by and care for your furry (or small and squeaky) family/friends, I’d love to help! Let’s chat about what your pet needs to feel happy and cared for. Currently, I work from home and my availability is flexible if I have a day or so notice. Also I have two cats, but miss having dogs around would love to take yours on some walks. I can feed, walk, or play with your family pets in your home. In addition, I can give them bathroom breaks or clean up litter/messes.

About: Hi! I have taken care of my friend’s dogs for 8 years, while they’re out of town or just at work, from puppies to adults, and it’s a lot of fun! I work full time with a food delivery service, but I’m all over town all day and can be super flexible on when I need to take breaks As far as safety goes, I always walk dogs on a leash, and treat them with the same love and care as if they’re my own. I am happy to follow care instructions for any clients

About: I'm that annoying person on the street who sees you and your dog and has to stop and pet them, ask their age, and name! I currently work from home full time and am available almost always for a quick dog walk or an overnight stay! My schedule is very flexible. I have one large dog, he is half german shepherd and half lab. He has a big bark but never a bite. I also have a neutered fix cat that is indoor/outdoor and very playful. They get a long great and I expect your furry friend to fir right in.

“Betsy is one of our Great Danes best friends. She's one of the few that can just let herself in our home without us being home. Her love for animals shows and all of our pets immediately demand her attention. We know when Betsy is in charge of our animals she is loving them like her own. Thank you Betsy for being so dependable and so kind and caring to our babies.”

“Ashleigh has taken extraordinary care of all animals she has come into contact with since I have known her, she is gentle and kind to any and all living creatures. Her attention to detail and outgoing personality is what gives her the greatest edge over the competition. I would recommend her to anyone, anytime.”

“Donavan is an excellent dog walker. He walked my 13 year olds dog twice a day for over a week and he was very considerate of her. He paid attention to her weaker back legs and adjusted the walks to suit her. He was reliable, flexible and he quick to respond to communications. I highly recommend him and will book him again in the future.”

“Chantal loves dogs and animals in general! She is responsible, caring and thoughtful. She takes her work seriously and is always on time. She is a positive and energetic person that will care for your dog as if it were her own.”

About: I’ve work with my mom at her dog grooming salon since I was 11. I’ve dog sat for family and family friends for many years. I personally like animals more than people. I work at a dog grooming salon from 9am till when ever the last dog is done. I will be able to leave and check on your pups or even bring them with me to work we have plenty of rooms and cages if they couldn’t play with the other pups. I do bring my cat to work with me so if cats are dog friendly they would be able to come too I have very well trained dogs so they stay in the yard, I do stand outside and watch them. I dog sit for many people and I am more than happy to clean puppy pads, use a leash and walk them or anything necessary

About: Hi my name is Aubree. I've been walking and boarding dogs through wag and rover for four years now. I have been working at the Spca for almost two years. I’m currently a vet tech student and halfway done my program. I can provide care for your dogs, cats, and also care for your caged friends while you are away too. I have experience with many types of animals. I have a 9 year old bearded dragon, a four year old shi-Pooh, and two young cats. All of my animals are fixed and vaccinated.

“MacKenzie has been great with walking my very energetic (and demanding) Yorkie. She is professional, polite, prompt. Any complaints? Psssh, nope. Thank you MacKenzie!!”

“Sarah has been amazing with our dog! He gets so happy when he sees her, you can tell that he loves his walks with her. She is always on time and always attentive to the needs of the pup. Totally recommend :)”

About: I have been caring for our furry friends for as long as I can remember. Since I was a teenager, I would watch 2 Yorkies for a family friend where they would stay with me in my family's home and receive plenty of cuddles, play and outdoor time for potty breaks. From that point on, I have watched dogs for family and friends within their homes or in my home for years. Whatever special requirements your pup may have, I can meet their needs and ensure they receive extra pampering and cuddles for the time they are away from you. I have cared for puppies in the process of being crate trained, potty trained and wee wee pad trained. I have also cared for senior dogs who need daily medications administered, have challenges with arthritis or losing sight. Whatever stage your fur baby is in, I can care for them at that stage. I know how important it is to know that your furry family member is being cared for and loved just as much you would is a great relief. Knowing your fur baby will be in the most loving and capable hands allows you to go about your daily routines or go on vacations with your mind at ease. I am currently staying at home and have availability most days and weekends. I have 1 dog at home who gets along very well with all dogs, big and small alike. I have a spacious home with plenty of space for dogs to curl up and cuddle or soak in some sun warmth. Additionally, I have a fenced in yard for getting out and getting the zoomies out when needed. Multiple walks a day 3-4x (depending on day care, or if boarding more, and individual dog's needs) to the nearby park.
