“Claudia was great! I was very comfortable having her in my home taking care of my fur family. I have 3 dogs and 1 cat, and they all loved her. She was very communicative and send pictures each day which was very much appreciated. I would highly recommend her for house/pet sitting.”


“Mary was attentive and super communicative, which we really appreciated. Our anxious pups were totally comfortable and happy throughout. It was the first time we didn't worry when leaving our babies!! Mary is the real deal,”


“John was fantastic! Our very shy dog with separation anxiety warmed up to him immediately, and our cat loved him too. He sent regular updates and pictures and took good care of the house. Plus he’s a vet! We felt so comfortable and knew our babies were in good hands!”


“Amanda was amazing and I appreciate her for being able to accommodate us on a short notice. She inquired about my 2 kids. She was so nice and spent quality time with them. She took them on wonderful walks and sent pics. I couldn’t recommend her more. Thank you!”


“Anastasia was so flexible. We needed to leave much earlier than expected and she showed up early at a moment’s notice. As always, our dogs love her. Thanks.”


About: I am very intuitive to what animals needs are. I’m patient and pets safety is my top priority! Comforting animals is a blessing that I can’t get enough of! My hours are a bit flexible but I am mainly have a lot of free time on Mondays & Fridays from 2-7. Saturdays and Sundays I am completely available. First off, I always read the directions multiple times. Make sure their food and leashes are easy to find. Then I always check the backyard before letting a dog out. I want to be sure there are no gaps in the fences or any other large wildlife they may want to chase. If in case of emergency, I would love to know what veterinary practice is used and emergency contacts if I’m not able to make direct contact.

About: I'm an experienced pet Mom, who currently has three fur babies of her own, and would love to be able to take care of your babies when you're not available to! I have been pet sitting since I was a teenager. I have had at least one dog of my own continuously since 1995, and I have extensive experience with many different sizes and breeds of dogs, as well as cats, small animals and reptiles. I also have extensive experience caring for ill and injured animals, as my Great Dane had many health issues, and I also cared for her post-op after two surgeries and a resulting infection. I currently work full-time in Syracuse and I will be keeping that job, but I am available week nights from 5:00 p.m. on (after 9:00 on Tuesdays and Thursdays), and any time Saturday or Sunday. I am looking to provide pet care in your own home. I am dependable and have my own reliable transportation. Willing to travel within a 15 mile radius.

About: Animal lover of all sorts. A family isn’t complete with a furry little or big four legged best friend. I have grown up all my life around animals dogs especially, now with children of my own I love to share that experience with them. Your dog or cat will be loved and care for just like you would take care of them. My goal is to ease their worry while you are working knowing they are having a great day themselves. Available and flexible times if needed . We run, we play and meet friends (if like to play with others dogs) long walks in the leaves or snow we come over in all weather. Pick me and your dog will sure have a day to remember

About: No dog deserves the kennel! Why settle for the pound when they can spend a night in a home with an owner-on-loan; either in your house on in a house that has raised two other pets from puppyhood to old age? Admittedly, there are stairs and hardwood floors in my house, but I have bought several carpets for my old dog to move around on and can lay them down for your dog’s convenience. We also have a big backyard that your dog will love to run around in (and no predators, unless you count woodchucks and geese) and a long leash that can go all the way to the end of the property line. I love dogs and after a day with me, your furry friend will mistake me for his mother. I’m most busy Wednesdays-Thursdays, so I marked them out on the calendar, but if petsitting is required for several days, that is easy to accommodate! I also don’t mind waking up every few hours to take a dog out—I have not quite reached the age where sleep is important. I won’t allow your dog to roam around outside unleashed (sorry, but I don’t want to lose them!), but when they’re outside, I’ll make sure they have the freedom to run around to their heart’s content. Additionally, I’m willing to walk them in any weather they’ll put up with and even let them sleep on the couch/spare bed, if they’re not too dirty.

Ive been pet sitting and walking since the age of 13 Which has helped me learn all about caring for animals at all ages. From 4 weeks up till seniority, I can do it all and love every minute of it. Taking care of animals is something im extremely passionate about. I would love the opportunity to meet you and your furry(or feathered or scaled) friend!

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!

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have always had a deep love for them. While I’ve primarily worked with horses and cows, I’ve also spent years around dogs and cats. We have our own rescue pup at home, and I’ve helped care for everything from small lap dogs to German Shepherds. There’s always been a family or friends dog around, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or just keeping them company, I treat every animal like they’re my own. I currently have two side jobs that I have full control over, so I’m able to be flexible and available any time of day or week to care for your pet. Whether it’s early mornings, midday check-ins, or evenings, I can adjust my schedule to meet your needs! When I’m caring for pets in their home, I do my best to stick to their normal routine so they feel safe and comfortable. I’ll follow any instructions you leave closely - whether it’s feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, or giving medications. I respect your home, keep things clean and tidy, and make sure your pets get lots of love and attention while you’re away. I know how important it is to feel confident your pets and your space are in good hands!

“Daija was so great with Victor! She watched him for the 2.5 weeks I was away and he seemed so happy and content with her. Daija was so concerned about Victor's safety and wellbeing while I was gone, I was always sure he was in good hands.”


“We were extremely nervous about leaving our dog for the first time, having never used a dog sitter before. From the moment we met Briana, those nerves started to melt away. She was kind, attentive, and instantly connected with our pups in a way that gave us real peace of mind. Throughout our time away, Briana kept us updated with photos and little notes about how things were going. It was clear she wasn’t just checking in—she was truly spending quality time with our dogs, keeping their routine consistent and giving them so much love and attention. When we came home, our dogs were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. We feel incredibly lucky to have found Briana. She exceeded our expectations in every way and made what could have been a stressful experience completely stress-free. We wouldn’t hesitate to call her again and would recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and responsible dog sitter!”

“Eva has pet sat for my sweet boy (cat), Simon, periodically for over a year. Initially I was nervous because he is a shy boy, but Eva is a true animal whisperer and he took right to her! Each time she stays with him I receive frequent picture updates which gives me peace of mind - not too mention she is a gifted photographer! I feel so much less anxiety going out of town knowing I can always rely on her to watch Simon. She is very friendly and personable and a pleasure to work with- would recommend!”

Monique J.
“Monique is WONDERFUL! I actually met her at her job, Petland. I was shopping for a new collar and some toys for my boxer mix and I was going on about how I was trying to find someone to watch him for the weekend while I went away on business, and she mentioned that she actually did dog sitting and would love to do it. The next day I met with her and my little Billy got to see her house and meet her dogs, everyone immediately hit it off amd it was set! She sent me LOADS of pictures and videos of Billy having fun with her and her dogs, even ahowing me that she took him to the pool. It really helped reassure me, especially since this is the first time spending the weekend away from him. She really is the greatest and her love for dogs is evident.”


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.”
