Kaylee is reliable, fun and goes above and beyond with our puppy. They’re doing training together and Juniper already has become a better listener and better behaved. We will 10/10 be rebooking with Kaylee!

Georgia has been a lifesaver walking our pups mid day. She communicates so well and is very flexible. We have already rescheduled with her. Highly recommend!

About: I am a true animal lover!I have a genuine passion for all animals, and I truly believe they deserve love and respect, especially when their families are away. I currently volunteer at the Ithaca SPCA, where I walk dogs every Sunday. This experience has not only deepened my love for animals but has also taught me the importance of providing each pet with individual attention and care. I understand that every animal has its own personality and needs, and I strive to cater to those while ensuring they feel safe and loved. When you choose me as your animal sitter, you can rest assured that I will treat your pets as if they were my own. I will provide them with the same respect, love, and attention they are used to, so they can feel comfortable and happy while you’re away. I work from home and am able to take time for daily check ins and have weekend availability as well. Taking care of animals truly brings me so much joy and I am beyond happy to make the time that is necessary to take care of your sweet pets. I currently have no pets living in my home, but have a few feline friends that frequent my apartment. I know that a pet is as important as a family member and holds such a special place in the lives of it's owner. I make sure to provide all necessary attention, love and nurturing to a pet when needed.

My dog spent very good time with Rachel. Rachel is the best dog walker I have ever met. She visited us before we leave and try to learn as much as possible about our dog. She kept us updated about Brownie’s status and always kept an eye on Brownie’s water bowl after every walk. I definitely will come back to Rachel again next time.

About: I have always lived with pets! :) I grew up with dogs Ella and Koikkie when I was little, and loved walking and playing with them. In college I couldn't have a dog, but I did get my first cat, Oliver. He was more or less feral when we found him but with lots of love and food, he became a lap cat with a happy home on a farm. Two years ago I moved to Ithaca, and have two 3-year old Siberian cats, Nadja and Moose. They need a lot of exercise and play which includes taking them out on leashes to walk around the block. I also frequently cat sit for my friends who have a mix of young and old cats. I'm currently working part-time 5 days a week. I am available for weekend pet-sitting and short visits during the week. I work until 3pm on weekdays, and am available at most times on the weekend. I am more than happy to stay in your home with your pet, and would love to give them treats and attention. I love spending time with pets and can send you daily photos at their cutest moments :)

About: I have cared for pets for many years. I have experience working in an animal shelter with dogs and cats, and have additional experience pet-sitting and caring for a variety of animals with a variety of needs- from dogs, cats, rabbits, chickens, and even snakes! From my experience, I have a lot of knowledge and ability to manage senior pets, pets with special/health needs, and young animals who may need more care. Let me know what care your pet needs, and I can provide it! In addition to my pet care experience, I was raised on an inner-city farm, so I am familiar with the work, time, and care that should be devoted to pets of all kinds. I am currently a college student- I have lots of flexibility in my schedule, and can work based on what you and your fur babies need! I am comfortable and capable with many aspects of pet (cat, dog, rabbit, chicken, reptile, etc) care- including walking, crating, feeding, administering medication, and anything else that your pet may need!

About: I've taken care of dogs of all breeds, ages, and personalities for a large portion of my life - from when I was a kid in Jersey until last year, when my sweet and challenging pit bull, Hudson passed away. The fourteen years I spent with him taught me everything I could possibly want to know about how to care for a dog. I love and miss him so. I'm not in a position to adopt a new dog of my own yet, but spending time with yours would be the next best thing! I have a part-time job at a local artist residency with flexible hours. I have my own car and am available for multiple services at various times each day of the week. I have a fenced in yard and a large dog crate, 2 dog beds, and plenty of toys. I'm an extremely trustworthy person and would treat any client's home with the utmost respect and care. I'm an active runner and would love to take your dog for hikes and walks with me.

About: Hey! I'm Yazmeen. I've been petsitting for the last 8 years. I started with my sister and continued on my own. I have experience giving medication and with senior dogs as well as kittens. I love a long walk if the dog is up for it, and I'm always down to play and snuggle. Let me know if you're interested! My schedule is pretty flexible right now. I I usually wake up early, so I don't mind an early walk or feeding schedule. I typically go to bed around 11pm-midnight, but I am happy to work around a pet's schedule, especially to accommodate any medications or weather. I was raised to leave things better than I found them, so I always do a thorough clean before I leave a petsitting gig (including washing sheets, so you can go straight to bed!) I can also bring in mail and water plants if you give me a watering schedule.

About: I am so grateful to have known so incredible dogs that have brought me joy in my life! Many of my relatives and friends have dogs that I have cared for, walked, and befriended over the years. Dogs are such special animals that truly bring out the life and love in everyone. There’s nothing more exhilarating than running around with an excited pup, and getting to give them scratches and pets afterwards. I would love to meet your dog and have fun with them! 🦴🎾 I work part time at a bakery, so I have the greatest flexibility on Mondays, Tuesday mornings/early afternoon, Wednesday evening, Friday or Saturday evenings. Let me know what works for you and we’ll figure it out :) I am currently unable to host other pets as I have an older kitty in my home & she is sensitive to other animals. I am willing to work with you to provide the best possible care for your animal in your home ❤️

About: Hello, my name is Mike! I’m attending Cornell Law School and am looking for any opportunity to travel and play with dogs as much as possible during my studies! I will send you a bajillion pictures of your pup (if you’d like) and will be respectful of all your wishes! I’m a law student who works a rather standard 9-5 student job. However, under certain circumstances, I can be available during lunch hours most days of the week. I will take care of your dog per your instructions. I played college baseball, so fetch is a strong suit. I also have plenty of reading to do for school, so chill belly rubs are also high on the list!

About: I’ve taken care of all different kinds of pets from one hundred pound dogs to chinchillas and reptiles. I was lucky enough to grow up in a neighborhood with lots of animals and found great joy in taking care of them. As a kid I volunteered at my local shelter and saw first hand how each animal has a different story. Above all I love pets and understand what your pet means to you. I am college student with a flexible schedule. I am available weekends and weekdays and can work with you and your schedule to make sure your pet gets the care they need. I prioritize quality walks and play time. I care about your pets well being and understand that meaningful one on one attention helps them feel safe and happy. I make an effort to be fully present during our time together, creating a calm and intimate experience tailored to each pet’s needs.

About: I’ve had pets my entire life, whether it be dogs, cats, or chickens. I’ve been the go-to sitter in my neighborhood for the past several years, providing boarding, overnight care, and potty breaks. I have experience dealing with all kinds of pets and am frequently called to sit for one dog that is unable to tolerate anyone but myself and his owners in his home. I strive to make every visit something your little family members look forward to as the highlight of their day. I am currently a full-time student commuting between my home and Ithaca college. With only a few classes per day and access to a car, I am available to check on your pets several times throughout the day and provide overnight care every weekday. I have experience caring for all types of pets overnight, whether they’re one for nighttime zoomies or nervous nightmares. I’m prepared to accommodate your pets with anything they need to make their time with me enjoyable. During the day, I will be able to provide long walks, frequent playtimes, and transport to the dog park or any other fenced in areas, if that’s what your pet likes most.

About: Hi there! I’m Charlotte, and I have experience compassionately caring for animals for 14 years. I discovered my love for animals when I was a little kid when I walked my neighborhood dogs on a regular basis. Since then, I’ve walked & pet- sat many dogs, fostered animals, and grown up with my own cats and dogs. I’m certified in dog CPR and take your pet’s safety and well-being seriously. I am patient with pups who may find meeting other dogs/ adults/ children, etc., in unfamiliar territory anxiety-provoking. I will watch out for any anxious body language during our walk so that I can offer your dog calm and reassuring support to ensure they are safe and confident in our time spent together. I value clear, open communication and make it a point to always stay responsive to pet parents—I know how important peace of mind is when someone else is caring for your dog. I love to hike and be outdoors and am always looking for a fur-companion to join me. I look forward to giving your dog lots of well-deserved love and exercise! I am currently an online college student with a flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time to play outside with your pup and get some fresh air! I have two cats, so I can only come to your home to care for your animals. I am currently unable to care for pets in my home. I am only providing dog walking services.
