House Sitting in Cortland

“Grandma Samm did a great job with our pup, Caroline. We enjoyed her daily updates and looked forward to hearing how she was doing while we were away. She was very contentious with our home. She watered my plants, cleaned up, took out the trash, and made sure we came back to a clean home and a happy pup. We trusted her and loved her silly personality. We would definitely hire Samm again! <3”

“This was our first time having Candice do overnights with our boy Oreo who is 2.5 years old for 5 nights and we really enjoyed being able to not have any stress while on vacation. She stayed at our home for the entire 6 days and did not leave once. We returned home and our house looked exactly like we left it...very clean. We would highly recommend her as she was on time and very responsible with letting us know that we could travel stress free while she took great care of our pup. She also made sure that Oreo had his meds daily. We have already booked her for our next vacation.”

“Jeanne was wonderful. I've never used a dog sitter that wasn't a friend or family so this was my first Rover experience. I'm so grateful that I found Jeanne and I would definitely use her again and recommend her for others. Jeanne took exceptional care of my boys. My neighbors were even texting me during my 8 days away, telling me how great she was with our labs. When one of our labs became sick, Jeanne kept me updated and ended up taking him to the vet. She had to administer meds and deal with a sick dog and was so gracious and kind about it. I knew my dog was in good hands and could relax even though I was away and he was sick. Under her attentive care, he was better by the time we got home. In addition to the love and care she gave our labs, she fed the fish and our house was clean and orderly when we returned. I can't say enough about Jeanne. If you want a responsible, caring, clean person with great communication skills to care for your pets, pick Jeanne. Just don't book her when I need her. 😉”

“Paige was great from her initial visit with Buster up until we got home. She proved us wonderful pictures and updates of Buster while we were gone.”

“Olivia is truly everything you could hope for in a dog sitter. From the very beginning, she has been incredibly communicative and thoughtful. She always checks in, clearly coordinates her schedule, and lets me know exactly when she’ll be with my pup which is so reassuring. Her constant communication gives me complete peace of mind, and it’s obvious how much she genuinely cares. Most importantly, my dog absolutely loves her. I can tell he feels comfortable, happy, and well cared for every time he’s with Olivia. I’m so grateful to have found someone this reliable, attentive, and kind. I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter they can fully trust.”

About: I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life. I’m experienced in senior care, and also care for all other ages. I’ve also been a pet sitter for friends and family many times the past few years. I’m available for dog walking and drop in visits only. Feel free to message me to work out times within my availability that would work for you!😊 if you need a service on a day out of my availability send me a message and I’ll do my best to make it work! I typically take my dogs outside every 3 hours to go potty and get exercise. I always make sure they have fresh food and water available to them throughout the day. As for clients pets, I follow instructions and schedules very well and always make sure the pets get the best care possible.

“Luna helped us out in a tight situation! We needed a pet sitter at the last minute and she pulled through for us. She was willing to come without meeting our pets before the weekend she came to sit. Luna was responsible and I felt our pets were safe with her. I would definitely ask her to come again.”

About: With over 10 years of hands-on experience in pet care, I’ve had the joy of looking after a wide variety of animals, from playful puppies and independent cats to curious rabbits. My approach is always tailored to each pet’s unique needs, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and well-cared for. Whether it’s daily walks, feeding schedules, administering medication, or simply providing companionship, I bring dedication and a genuine passion for animal welfare to every job. This extensive experience has taught me how to handle different temperaments and health requirements, making me a reliable and compassionate pet sitter for any furry friend. I am available on weekends, as well as all day Monday, and on Wednesday and Friday evenings. Willing to stay with you pets for the whole weekend or pop in on those days i’m free! There is a fenced yard at my parents' home with five dogs, and I often play ball with them outside. I also have a fenced yard at my place for my 2-year-old Mini Aussie, where we enjoy playing outdoors as well. He has two full toy baskets and bark boxes every month! He is very loved (spoiled) :)!

About: Hello my name is Kerri, I have grown up with animals most of my life, I've dealt with animals in many different sizes, I currently have 3 dogs and 6 cats. I do have experience walking dogs, bathing them, as well as bathing cats. I volunteer at Animal Welfare League of Trumbull County, I have been volunteering here for past few months. I'm currently getting my certification for Interior Designer, I'm normally working on a flexible schedule. I don't take any pets on Sundays. I will make sure that any pet in my care is getting their daily needs, also if there is any certain task that needs to be done like dishes or small things that can make your day easier. So that you can enjoy your time with your pets when you get home.

I have trained dogs from early puppy stages and also cared for senior ages. I work Wednesday Thursday Friday I’m available after 7 pm I’m off Saturday Sunday Monday Tuesday available anytime. I’m offering drop ins, sitting and walking! Your fur babies will definitely be loved and get their playtime in along with lots of treats if allowed. I have had many animals growing up dogs, cats, lizards and even a raccoon 😃 I have trained dogs from their puppy stages and loved every minute of it. You can trust that ur babies will be in good hands.. ❤️ I am currently working but I have plenty of time to give my full attention and time to your fur babies. I am available weekends!

About: With over 7 years of dedicated pet care experience, I’ve had the privilege of working with dogs of every shape, size, and personality—from tiny lap dogs who think they own the couch to 100-pound “lap dogs” who also think they own the couch. Having two Dalmatians of my own (yes, just two—not quite 101, though some days it feels like it), I’ve learned that every dog has its quirks, needs, and ways of showing love. My job—and my passion—is to adapt to those needs so your pup feels safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. Over the years, I’ve gained extensive experience in: • Puppy care & training basics – Patience is key when you’re working with a puppy. I’ve helped plenty of pups learn routines, practice good behavior, and channel their endless energy into positive play. (Think of me as the substitute teacher who actually keeps the classroom under control.) • Senior dog care – Older dogs hold a special place in my heart. I’m attentive to their comfort, health, and pace, making sure walks are slower, joints are supported, and they get the extra snuggles they deserve. • High-energy breeds – If there’s one thing two Dalmatians have taught me, it’s that dogs with lots of energy need structure, exercise, and mental stimulation. I’m no stranger to long walks, fetch marathons, and outsmarting clever pups who always seem to know where the treat jar is. • Behavioral awareness – I pay close attention to body language and signals. Whether a dog is shy, excitable, or somewhere in between, I know how to adjust my approach so they feel safe and respected. What really sets me apart is a mix of professionalism and genuine care. I take pride in being reliable, detail-oriented, and communicative. You can expect regular updates, photos, and even a few funny stories about what your pup is up to (spoiler alert: it usually involves something cute, goofy, or both). I treat every dog as if they were my own, which means your furry family member will always be in good hands. At the end of the day, my goal is simple: to give you peace of mind and your dog a positive, stress-free experience. Whether it’s a puppy still figuring out the world, a senior who needs extra TLC, or a big goofball who just wants endless belly rubs, I’ll make sure your pup feels loved, cared for, and maybe even a little spoiled (don’t worry, I won’t tell). So if you’re looking for someone with experience, patience, and a true passion for dogs—plus the stamina to keep up with high-energy breeds—I’d love the chance to meet you and your four-legged best friend. Dogs aren’t just pets—they’re family, and caring for them is more than a hobby for me—it’s a lifestyle. I structure my daily and weekly routine around giving every dog in my care the attention, exercise, and love they deserve. With two energetic Dalmatians of my own, I’ve built a life that revolves around walks, playtime, mental stimulation, and plenty of belly rubs—so rest assured, your dog will never feel ignored or under-stimulated. My typical day is designed around dog happiness and safety. Mornings often start with brisk walks, breakfast, and some outdoor play to burn off energy, followed by structured training or enrichment activities. Afternoons might include more walks, play sessions, or cozy downtime for dogs who need a little nap or extra attention. Evenings are all about companionship, cuddles, and quality bonding time—because every dog deserves to feel loved, whether they’re a tiny puppy or a senior with a little extra wisdom (and maybe a little extra stubbornness). What sets my routine apart is that dogs are the priority. I schedule my days so I can fully commit to their needs: no rushing, no distractions, and no “oh, I have other plans” excuses. Whether it’s a walk, a game of fetch, socialization with other friendly pups, or just quiet companionship, every moment is focused on your dog’s comfort, happiness, and safety. And yes, this includes being flexible—if your dog prefers early walks, extra playtime, or a slow morning, I adjust my schedule accordingly. I also make sure to communicate with owners regularly, sending updates, photos, and little stories so you always know how your dog is doing. You’ll see exactly how much energy they’ve burned, how many tail wags they’ve given, and maybe even how many spots your Dalmatian-inspired sitter has discovered along the way. At the end of the day, my schedule isn’t just convenient—it’s designed to provide total peace of mind for pet parents and a safe, happy, and stimulating environment for dogs. If you’re looking for a sitter who treats your dog like family, dedicates their full time and energy to their well-being, and can handle a little chaos with a smile (thank you, Dalmatians) When you invite me into your home, I treat it with the same respect and care I give my own. I understand that your dog isn’t just a pet—they’re a beloved member of your family—and that your home is your sanctuary. My top priorities are safety, trust, and creating a comfortable environment for both your dog and your household. I maintain a safe environment by carefully monitoring your dog at all times, following any special instructions you provide, and making sure your home is secure and organized. From managing access to rooms, ensuring doors and gates are properly closed, to keeping an eye on potential hazards, I take proactive steps to prevent accidents and provide peace of mind. Trust is the foundation of every house sitting arrangement. I am fully committed to respecting your property, adhering to your routines, and communicating regularly with updates, photos, and any important notes about your dog’s behavior or needs. You can feel confident that your dog is not only safe but receiving consistent care and attention while you’re away. Finally, I create a welcoming and calm environment for your dog. Whether it’s maintaining familiar routines, offering plenty of playtime, or providing quiet companionship, I ensure your pet feels secure and loved. My goal is to give you the confidence to enjoy your time away while knowing your dog is happy, healthy, and safe in a trusted home environment.

“Janet agreed to watch our 3 pets on short notice, and she did an exceptional job. The girls were well taken care of! We will be using her again!!! Thank you so much Janet!”

About: I've been taking care of dogs and cats alike as long as I can remember. My family, neighbors, and friends trust their fur babies with me because I treat them like they are my own. I am a stay at home wife, so my day is completely free to look after your fur babies. I have all the time needed to provide a safe and happy stay. I have a fenced yard and two of my own fur babies to keep your baby happy and entertained. The babies are allowed on the furniture and in my bed if they need it.

About: Pets are family, and they deserve to be treated like family. I have doggy sat for a family friend for 3yrs, Zoe, and Zarley. They go out 4 to 5 times a day, they get treats for going boo boo outside. We run around the apartment and play as much as my bones will let me. I am able to brush the furbabies every day, and multiple times a day if needed. I do talk to them like they can answer me…..😂😂. Animals understand more than we think they do. I love animals so much. I wish I could get one for me. But at this time, I am unable to afford one. I will not get any animal that I know I can’t pay for what they need. I was working up until 09/2025. I got hurt at work, and I’m unable to return. I am available 24/7 now. I have plenty of time to give ALL of my time to furbabies now. I have a full time job working midnights. I get off at 7am, but don’t usually go to sleep till around 10am. I do not work Friday nights. My part time job is just Mon., we’d., and Fri, from 9am to 1pm. I have every other weekend off. I always put fur babies first in my home. I play with them as often as I can. They are allowed on the furniture and bed. No matter what I am doing, I will stop to take them out, or play with them. I DO NOT give for babies ppl food, their little digestive system mite not be able to handle it. If there is something extra that you say they need, and you don’t have, I will buy it for them. I remove any and everything off the floors, so they cannot get in it. If there is a special diet that they have, I will just need written instructions on how to prepare it.

About: I have taken care of my own cats and dogs since I was 8. A couple years ago I decided I wanted to start professionally pet sitting for friends, family, and neighbors and I did just that! While they are on vacation or at work, they have relied on me to walk, feed, play, and cuddle with their furry friends and I hope you will allow me to do the same for you! I am currently working part-time in the mornings, however, will always make time for your fur babies! During the day, I walk and feed my own animals and can do the same for you! Whatever care you need for your animals, I can do (besides giving medicine through needles and running)! If you need me to walk them a mile each morning I can do it! I can follow any schedule you give me if your furry friend follows one and can crate them if needed! I love sleeping with cats and dogs so that won’t be a problem either if they like sleeping with you! If your dog is a cuddler, no worries, cuddles are my favorite thing!

About: I’ve taken care of animals of all kinds since before I was in elementary school. I have had a dog of my own for 10 years and I have been relied on by friends and family members to watch their animals when they are away. I’m currently a full-time college student at Ohio University, so taking care of pets is more of a weekend or holiday gig for me! I could fit a daily walk in to my schedule too! However you need me to care for your pets, I can do it! I am incredibly patient when it comes to animals and am willing to do just about anything to make them happy, comfortable, and well taken care of.

“Jeannine was the absolute best. My dogs were comfortable with her immediately and she treated them as her own. I felt at ease leaving them with her since they are my babies basically. Definitely recommend and will be booking with her again. & she took care of them while in the process of hectic wedding planning! Congratulations again!”

Marie S.

“I was so nervous to leave my fur babies, but Courtney put my nerves at ease. She kept me updated daily and even sent me pictures of my dogs. The dogs really liked her too! Will definitely book her services again.”
