“Brianna did a wonderful job caring for our golden retriever and elderly cat. Her communication was excellent, and she sent pictures & videos of her time with them. I could tell she & our pets were thoroughly enjoying each other😁. We would definitely have her come again!”

“Chris did a great job with Bingo! He was responsible. He kept us informed about how Bingo was doing over the five days, showing us pictures of Bingo. He walked Bingo in various places in Ithaca. Chris kept the house neat. He just did everything right.”

“Rachel did such a wonderful job caring for our dogs over the weekend. She provided excellent communication and lots of cute photos. She sent maps of all their walks and we returned to a spotless house and happy pups as well as cute photos of their time together. We will definitely use her services again in the future.

“We loved having Claudia watch our dogs again! She does such a great job keeping them happy while we are out of town. She sent lots of great pictures and it’s clear the dogs adore her. We came home to happy pups and a spotless home. Thanks again for taking such good care of them!”
“We came home from a four-day trip to a happy, healthy dog who received Rose's excellent care. She was equally gracious about caring for our house, even our ailing basil plant. And her pet photography gave us the best photos we've had of our dog in a long time. She's also a joy to be around. We would give her ten stars if we could.”

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: Hi, I’m Camilla and I’m Dog and cat mom! I love taking long walks or just spending time with your fur babies! Volunteer with ASPCA and Wildlife rehab center. I am an Environmental Biology, nature and animal loving Senior at Cornell, and I’m spending my summer in Ithaca! I love going on walk and spending time with pets, I will work with your schedule!

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 :)

“We are incredibly grateful we found Erica to watch our dog while we were on vacation. She was responsive, accommodating, and very sweet! We had only adopted our dog two months prior and were anxious to leave him, but her caring nature made us feel at ease and we knew he would be in excellent hands. She was flexible with staying at our home and sent us daily photos so we felt included in his day. She even brought her dog over to play, which our dog loved, and we loved watching the videos of them playing! She left our home exactly how we left it and was very tidy. We will absolutely be using Erica again for our pet sitting needs, she was wonderful!”

About: I grew up in a household full of animals and have been pet sitting for neighbors for as long as I have been old enough. I've had dogs, guinea pigs, a rabbit, chickens and numerous other small creatures who I have loved over the years. My profile picture is of my parent's golden doodle! I am currently a physical therapy student at Ithaca College who is spending the summer here in Ithaca and looking to dog walk/sit or pet sit! I am not planning on doing any boarding of animals because of my household's allergies but I am available for house sitting, drop-in visits and walking!
“Joules was great with our anxious dog! They helped make sure he was comforted during 4th of July fireworks and were flexible when flight changes shifted our plans. We appreciated knowing Toby was taken care of!”

“Cristian has looked after Charlie twice and it’s been a great experience. Cris is a clear communicator, sends lots of photos, Charlie adores him. Cris has helped us out with a sort of last minute request. Highly recommend and hope to have Cris help us out in the future”
