About: I have always grown up around different types of dogs and cats with different requirements and I work full time in a veterinary hospital, so if they have and medications or medical needs I can assist Im currently working full time at a vet hospital but I have some time off due to summer and I love working with such cute animals I have a fenced in yard where they can run around and stretch there legs and relax at the end of the day with my two cuddling felines

About: I have always had pets in my life. I was born into a house with cats and dogs and have had two dogs for as long as I can remember. I have taken care of the animals when my parents have been gone. We have had dogs old and young of all sizes and I love all animals big and small. I will love on animals and play with them, take care of them or just snuggle if they dont like to play. I will be with the animals as much as possible in between other jobs. I also have worked at petsmart in the pet hotel so I have a lot of knowledge and experience working with pets. I am currently working full time but I can let the dogs out before I go to work and then can go right after work as well. I go in at 8 am and get off at 330 pm I will take special care with each pet and be sure to follow the rules that are set by the pet parent. Because of working at petsmart I pay close attention to details and take special care of pets.

About: I grew up around many different animals.I helped raise puppies and train them with my family.I grew up around many different breeds of dogs and cats and even reptiles.I find joy and calmness being around animals.They have a way of grounding me.I currently have a 1 year old dog named Apollo,and a 4 year old cat named Ginger. I have a dog and cat myself so I usually get up and take my dog outside for about fifteen minutes.Ill come inside and scoop my cats catbox and feed them.They get their morning treats and I brush their coats.I play with each of them one on one for about an hour each.Throughout the day they are fed and my dog goes for a walk with me at least once a day.Around nighttime they get bathed yes I bathe my cat,and brushed and then it’s bed time.I always make time for the animals needs and what’s best for each animal. I currently reside in a apartment building so my dog has a harness and leash,but he knows his limits and people are respectful.I also know my dog the best so I know signs of him being anxious or uncomfortable.I am very aware of my surroundings and I can easily tell when an animal is uncomfortable.If I sense danger I remove the animal from the destination and I’ll sit with them and calm them usually by petting them and talking in a soothing manor.

“Rachel is a wonderful pet sitter. This is the second time I have booked her because I think she does such a great job and my kitty really likes her too. She takes wonderful care of my kitty and my home when I am gone, bringing in my mail, and checking in if anything seems amiss with the house. Rachel provides daily pictures and check-ins and left my home cleaner than I left it before my trip!”

About: With over 10 years of experience, I am comfortable with all kinds of animals and temperaments - big dogs, angry kitties, stubborn puppies, and anxious pets. I can also give meds if needed and make sure your pet stays safe, calm, and cared for like they’re my own. No matter their personality, I’ve got them covered 😊 I am currently in school but it is strictly online, so I am available almost all days and times. I work Thursday-Saturday from 4-10 but I am available any other time! I can’t block out those times specifically sadly so just message me if you have any questions regarding my availability! I have my own car, I’m also a night owl so don’t feel bad asking for a night check on your pups during date night!! I have 1 cat and 1 dog of my own at home who are the most spoiled babies ever! Most importantly, I am a firm believer in all things safety. I worked with horses for over 10 years so I know how important it is to follow the instructions I have been given. I may be small, but I am mighty! I can handle big dogs, mean cats, and fresh horses! I am more than happy to change any of my procedures to accommodate your fur baby, just ask!

“Professional, reliable and easy to coordinate with. Brianna is great.”

“Ashley did an amazing job taking care of my kiddos. She far exceeded my expectations and I felt so reassured that my babies were getting the best care.”

About: Hello! I have been a dog groomer for over 10 years and a part time dog walker for 5. I have recently become more available to take on another client or two. I have done long term dog walking and dog sitting for a few local families in the Cortland area. They love me and I love them and their pups! I'm currently employed as a psrt-time dog groomer and have been at this facility for 10 years. 5 years ago I began dog sitting and walking for a few local families and now that my children are older I'm able to take on another client or two. My weekly schedule is flexible but Friday's I'm unavailble all day due to a full client scheudle that day! I have three dogs, a cat, and some chickens. All my animals are up to date and we have an electric fence to maintain their boundary. They get alot fo walking, running (especially the goldendoodle,) naps, and lovin'. My clients pets get walked twice a day, sometimes three if needed. I have one family who just likes me to go and let them out, play some fetch, and lots of belly rubs. I have been asked to take pets for walks, emergency pick ups from boarding facilities, and asked to do feeding schedules.

About: I have had two dogs my whole life and I am in college, which means I’m dogless. I’ve taken care of my dogs since I was old enough to hold them, sick or just in need of exercise. With COVID my class schedule is easy but 3-6:30 is hard due to my practices. Other than my practice I am rather flexible in my schedule. I’m a total dog person and I am patient with animals. As far as COVID I get tested about twice a week from my school.

About: I’ve taken care of our family dogs, cats and chickens for over 20 years. Our animals are a part of our family and are treated as such! Good exercise, healthy food and regular grooming are essential to taking good care of our pets! Although I am a full time teacher, our dogs are walked twice daily. Our dogs are brushed out daily to maintain their coat. I ensure that our animals receive the care and attention needed to feel loved by and connected to us. Our dogs have a fenced in back yard for fetch and a nice neighborhood/pond area for walks. I will take good care of your animals by ensuring good exercise and care taking.

About: Animal rescue is my true passion in life. I grew up rescuing and caring for animals with my mom, and as an adult, I’ve continued to adopt pets in need from my local shelter. Besides taking care of my own animals, I’ve also looked after friends’ and family members’ pets many times. I really enjoy building trust with animals and watching them feel safe and comfortable with me. I’m experienced in administering medication, understanding animal body language, and creating a calming environment so your pet can relax. I know how hard it can be to leave your animal with someone else, especially if they need special medical care. If you choose to trust me with your pet, I promise to communicate openly, be dependable, and show genuine compassion. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your pets are loved and well cared for while you’re away. I work from home which allows me greater flexibility to be available for your animals. For dog walking and drop in visits, I'm typically available after 3PM on weekdays, or all day on weekends. For house sitting, I can work at your home during my stay to provide full time care. I prefer to care for your pets in their own home, as my rescue cat does not get along with other animals. I'm happy to take on any and all responsibilities for your pets, whether it's in your home or during walks. Your pet's health and safety is my top priority.

“Thank you so much for caring for our baby boy while we are gone. We have such peace of mind knowing you are visiting him each day and we love our photos we get. Again, thank you!!!”

“I was curious when Jacob would come so I peaked on my doggy cam. It just happens when I did he was entering my place. I must say, for a first time coming in and gaining my dogs trust, Jacob was the sweetest. Very patient and I could easily see he is extremely familiar with dogs and this situation. After seeing the first encounter I knew my pup was in great care! I highly recommend Jacob ?.”

“I couldn't ask for anything better. Lindsay is simply fantastic. She was exceptional caring and loving with my cats, while extremely respectful when doing her tasks at my home. She went above and beyond my expectations.”

Juan J.

“I had a great experience! Rachel stopped by to feed my cats while I was away, and everything went perfectly. Rachel followed all instructions, sent updates, and made sure my cats were happy and comfortable. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. Highly recommend!”

Cassidy R.

“Everything was fine and in order when I got home after about a week of being away. Vicki took good care of my kitty though she was lonely, scolded me for awhile. Vicki even filled the bird feeder!”
