“Kayla was great with Rex and sent photos and updates which I really appreciated. I felt comfortable leaving him knowing he was in good hands! Thank you Kayla!”
“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.”
“Beth was fantastic. Sent great updates (even when my cat was being skittish) and made last minute extra drop ins for my cat when we got delayed getting home. Very friendly and communicative.”
“Elizabeth was fantastic with our dogs! She was reliable, communicative, and clearly loves animals. We returned from our trip and found our animals were happy and well cared for. Elizabeth went above and beyond and made sure our dogs had comfort during fireworks which typically cause them to have high anxiety. I’ll definitely book with them again!”
“Amazing. Did a wonderful job with our baby kittens. Give them a lot of attention and made sure to keep us updated on their status. Would hire again.”
“Mary was amazing! She was professional, accommodating, and thorough. She was patient and thoughtful about addressing each my pets’ needs. Mary was clearly experienced in dealing with dogs with shy/fearful personalities and did really well with my dog (a rescue) who can be challenging to dog-sit. She was incredibly kind and treated my pets as if they were her own. I felt so comfortable leaving my pets in her care, which gave me such peace of mind while I was away. I couldn’t have been happier with the pet care service that Mary provided! Thank you so much! Highly recommend!”
“Emma was extremely reliable and communicative. She let Leo express his needs (play, cuddling, chilling) and gave him the attention and time he needed. Her updates and pics let me know my cat was in good hands. I would highly recommend Emma for your cat sitting needs!”
“Naomi did a wonderful job taking care of our two cats, fed them and cleaned the litter boxes. She kept in contact and updated us with pictures, we will definitely ask her to take care of the cats again!”
About: Who better than a veterinarian to take care of your best buddies while you're away? I am a new DVM graduate, and am happy to take care of your pets, no matter how old or young, especially those with special needs! I am certified in dog/cat CPR, and am comfortable providing any care needed. *Please note*: My providing pet sitting/dog walking/pet care services does NOT constitute a VCPR, and I cannot provide medical advice unless a VCPR is explicitly established in accordance with NY State Law* I prefer to stay in the client's home especially for dogs as this is generally much more comfortable for the dog to stay in their own environment. For overnight stays, I like to meet the dogs beforehand with owners present. This way they are assured it is okay to have me in their space for staying with them.
About: I've loved and cared for dogs and cats since I was a child. I now work remotely, so I can be quite flexible in terms of care and stays. While I live in Homer, NY, I currently work remotely. My schedule is extremely flexible, even with short notice. And I love pets of all types of sizes. While I do not currently have pets of my own, I lived as both a kid and adult with both dogs and cats. I'll keep them safe and shower them with love!
“Mackenzie was great! She connected with our cats so well and captured their personalities in daily update photos. Mackenzie is very responsive and reliable and we will be reaching out to her again. Thanks Mackenzie!!”
“Candyse was such an amazing help over the holidays while we were traveling. She checked on our cat while we were away and gave great updates on him each time, even sending us photos each time. She went above and beyond in helping us out. I would highly recommend Candyse to watch your pet.”
“Aubree was great and showed up on time both days! She sent us pictures of our cat Teddy and he looked super happy. When we got home he had a full food dish and water so she is very responsible! Would definitely recommend her for drop ins with cats!”
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 2-3x (depending on day care, or if boarding more, and individual dog's needs) to the nearby park.
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: 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.
“Chantal did a great job caring for our cat and three foster kittens while we were out of town. She’s friendly and quick to respond to messages. We would happily book her again in the future!”
“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 ?.”
“Sarah was great! She was very caring with my cats and followed all instructions while visiting them. She's very reliable and professional. I will definitely having her caring for my cats in the future.”
“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!”

John G.
“John is the most caring, loyal, friend and dog owner I know. He and his family recused both their dogs from down south. Those two dogs, Daisy and Dakota, are so happy and healthy and full of love. He also helps volunteer at an animal shelter in Salem, MA where he walks dogs and much more. I've never met anyone who loves and cares for animals as much as John does. He rocks.”
Aaron F.
“Aaron is one of the most kind, gentle souls I’ve ever met. I’ve known him for over 22 years, and I can confidently say there are few in this world I trust more than him. Every animal I’ve ever seen him with, including my own dog, is both safe and loved in his presence. I never let anyone other than my mother watch my dog, but if I needed to, I’d hand her to him without a second thought. He’s trustworthy and dependable in ways most could never achieve. I couldn’t possibly recommend him more to care for anyone’s pets. He is a diamond in the rough, and your pets will always be in great hands.”
