Pet Sitting Dansville

About: With over 2 years of hands-on experience through BOCES in animal science and direct pet care, I’ve built a strong foundation in understanding animal behavior, health, and handling. I’ve worked with a wide variety of animals—from dogs and cats to small animals and farm animals—and I apply that knowledge to every pet I care for. What sets me apart: 🐾 2 Years of BOCES Animal Science Training – Gained in-depth knowledge of animal care, grooming, nutrition, and behavior through a structured, hands-on program. 🐾 Puppy Training Basics – Experienced in house-training, crate-training, and teaching simple commands using positive reinforcement. 🐾 Senior Pet Care – Comfortable administering oral medications, assisting with mobility, and giving extra patience to older pets. 🐾 Pet CPR & First Aid Certified – I’m trained to handle emergency situations calmly and confidently. 🐾 Farm & Large Animal Experience – Confident caring for goats, pigs, horses, and more, including feeding, mucking, grooming, and turnout. 🐾 Personalized Pet Attention – I take the time to understand each pet’s routine and personality, helping them feel safe, loved, and stress-free while you're away. Thanks to my BOCES background and real-world experience, I bring both knowledge and heart to every pet sitting job I take on. Pet care is a big part of my daily life—it’s not just something I do, it’s something I love. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time to each pet I care for, whether it’s a morning walk, midday potty break, or overnight stay. I'm available for: 🕘 afternoon, and evening visits 🌙 Overnight stays and extended care 📅 Weekdays & weekends – I’m open most days and can often accommodate last-minute bookings. Because I plan my day around the pets I care for, I make sure each one gets the time, attention, and consistency they need. Your pet’s routine becomes my routine while they’re in my care! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always treat the space with respect and maintain a calm, clean, and secure environment for their pets. I stick to your routines as closely as possible—feeding, walks, playtime, and any special needs—so your pet feels safe and stress-free while you're away.

About: My family always had border collies growing up. I also used to help out at a collie kennel when the owner was traveling. I am open to dogs that are kid-friendly. My husband and I both work full-time and are gone from 8 am to 5 pm. I am available on weekends to take care of your dog. My yard is fenced in and we are a family of five who will give your dog lots of attention and be sure to get it outside for some exercise.

About: I am an animal lover that grew up with a menagerie of cats, rabbits, anoles, hermit crabs, hamsters and a Border Collie mix who loved to urban mush with me rollerblading. For a couple years I had gotten involved with fostering dogs and puppies of various ages, sizes, energy levels and temperaments. I loved watching shelter dogs come out of their shells and learning about their personalities and needs. I am no longer able to foster due to time and space and I miss it a lot. My current space does not allow for boarding/daycare services but I do have a lot of time in the morning/early afternoon for drop in visits. I do not work Mondays/ Tuesdays so I am available anytime for drop in visits on those days. I am happy to follow all instructions (you know your pet best!). Most pets are happiest on their home turf, I am here to provide a little socializing and break up the day for them until you return home.

About: I have had cats and dogs growing up. I would play fetch with my dogs all the time and just hang with my cats watching TV I work full time at a hospital but I do get Tuesdays off every week and don't work ever other weekend and every other friday With living in town I do leash my dogs when she does come down from my mom's. I do also put my cats in a backpack when going for walks

About: I've been around animals my entire life. I had 2 dogs and a cockatiel growing up that I helped care for. I have personally owned dogs, rats, fish, rabbits, chickens and ducks. I also used to foster small animals for a local rescue and have found fantastic homes for over 50 small animals. I work a few hours a day from home so I have plenty of time to interact and take care of your pets & fur babies. I'm available most days and nights. I am self-employed and work from home so I can take care of your pets needs at any time of the day since my schedule is flexible. I personally have 2 dogs, a rabbit, chickens and ducks at my home so there are plenty of things to help keep your pets occupied and happy. I also used to foster small animals for a rescue I helped out with. My yard is unfenced, but I live on a quiet street and have an open area across from my home to play fetch or throw a frisbee with your dogs and mine. In regards to caring for pets in your own home I follow any directions you give me for food/treat schedules, how often they need to go outside, things your pets can and cannot do, etc.

About: I have been raised around and have been rescuing animals all my life! To use the word passionate to describe myself would be an understatement. My experience with animals has been nothing short of amazing, from birthing farm animals, to rescuing dogs and cats from terrible situations, I have seen it all, and working in Vet med and animal shelters has been what’s driven me even more to just simply be kind and love all those who are more than deserving of it. I started Rover as a side gig but it’s turned into something much more rewarding for me. Booking with me, I can guarantee your pets will get treated the exact way I treat mine (which may be a little too spoiled) haha! I always make the time for not only my personal pets but yours as well! They would have plenty of daily exercise and Enrichment! ☺️ We would be going on plenty of walks and getting to go on many field trips with my personal dog as well! I always make sure to provide enough enrichment and stimulation throughout the day through various activities!

About: **More then happy to negotiate prices** I have taken care of dogs, cats, and some barn animals since 2016 (or before that!). I have worked in the veterinary field since 2021; receptionist, boarding team, assistant, and manager. I am certified to do therapy exercises with dogs and similar pets. I have experience with medically complex/special needs pets. One of my current dogs are dog-selective and I have had fear-free training, which makes me comfortable with animals who need behavioral accommodations. I am comfortable medicating pets (oral, topical, and injectable). I do work full time, but when ever I am not at work and I am able to take care of more animals I will! As long as our schedules match I can care for your pet. I do not have the ability to care for pets in my house. But in your home I can follow any rules/schedules to make sure your pet is comfortable, medically taken care of, and happy! I am comfortable using the following tools: crates, harness, gentle leaders, prong collars, training collars, and different procedures required for medication administration.

About: Hi my name is Desaray! I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life and have experience caring for many different breeds of dogs and cats growing up. Growing up,I also pet sat for family friends, caring for their dogs as well as other animals, which helped me become comfortable with pets of all personalities and energy levels. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether it's going on fun walks, playing fetch, keeping them active, or simply giving them lots of love and attention, I make sure they feel happy, safe, and cared for. My goal is to give every pet plenty of exercise, affection, and personalized care so you can feel confident they're in good hands while you're away. I currently am not working but am actively searching. So right now my schedule is free everyday. That may change if I am able to get another job! When taking care of my pets or anyone else’s I am always making sure safety is the number one priority. I will do whatever you need me to do and more while taking care of your animals!

“Caitlin does an excellent job! My pup Keala does awesome with her. I am looking forward to having Caitlin as a permanent dog sitter over the next year. I highly recommend her services.”
