We'd give more stars if we could! Emily is an awesome communicator and did an incredible job with our elderly, attitude-filled boxer and our orange cat. We had a last minute situation where we needed an extra drop in while we were out of town and Emily stepped in with no hesitation and saved the day. We will absolutely be booking again!

Lorie has taken care of my kitties several times now and she is great. She is very responsive and sends photos and keeps me updated on how they’re doing. We’ve been dealing with chronic GI problems and she handles it very well and keeps me posted on their health. Would definitely recommend!!

Casper was absolutely wonderful! She communicated with me after each visit, sent pictures, cleaned up messes, and was sensitive to my cat's particular needs. I appreciated her sense of humor and her approachable personality. I would definitely recommend her and plan to book her services again in the future!

Rucha & Ethan did a wonderful job caring for my two needy cats over thanksgiving! I had a worry-free trip because they were so communicative, and my cats really loved them. I have one cat that gets very very stressed out when I’m away, and he showed zero signs of stress (diarrhea/ vomit/ hiding)! I am SO grateful ❤️and look forward to having them watch the kitties when I’m away again. Thank you!!

About: I have taken care of cats and dogs in my neighborhood since I was 13. Whenever I am home for breaks I am the first person our family friends call to petsit! I have grown up with dogs my whole life and enjoy taking care and being around dogs and cats. I am currently a full-time graduate student at Ithaca College. I have class 2:00-4:30pm on Mondays, 8:15 am- 2:40 pm on Tuesdays, 10:00-1:50 pm Wednesdays, 8:15-11:45 am Thursdays, and 9:30-12:00pm Fridays. So, weeknights and weekends I will have more availability. My schedule is pretty flexible other than my classes. I live with two other roommates who are very welcoming of cats and dogs. I live right behind a trail, which is perfect for walks. I can easily crate your dog if needed.

About: *Please ask about any dates! I work full time, but many evenings are free for drop-ins or a walk/play time!* I have taken care of animals beginning with my parents' help when I was 8 years old. I helped care for neighbors and friends' pets while on vacation and often volunteered to exercise my furry friends or grab a canine snuggle after school. I have helped assist in the training process for puppies and given medications to all ages of dogs. I love all breeds and have experience will many sized dogs. Most notable breeds - Yorkshire Terrier, Dachshund, Pomeranian, Schnauzer, Beagle, Bulldog, various Poodle mixes, Labrador, Golden Retriever, Australian Shepherd, Dalmatian, Boxer, Norwegian Elkhound, Greyhound, Pit Bull, Rottweiler, German Shepherd, Newfoundland, Great Dane, Mastiff and many mix breed love bugs. I have experience caring for all kinds of cats, from social and friendly to shy and sassy. I have had several fancy bear hamsters of my own and would love to help with your favorite rodent or hedgehog. I grew up caring for fresh and brackish water fish and understand the basic care of water and amphibian critters. There are very few animals that I would not consider caring for so please ask if you have a seemingly "unusual pet". I am happy to learn about your animal, how to best love them, and care for all their needs while you are away! I am currently working full time, but have a fluctuating schedule. Please ask if you have an extended stay and your furry friend can be left alone at night. I am happy to play with and walk your companion or sit and provide extra pets as needed. I will always be respectful of your wishes and promise to keep your home and your animal(s)' safety as my top priority.

I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to highly recommend my daughter Clara as a pet sitter: showing an early disposition to care for animals, she rescued and rehabilitated our pet cat that accompanied us for many years, and also trained and cared for our high energy hunting dog since her adoption as a puppy until her last day. This “animal whisperer”, as she’s called by many, is now on her way to becoming a vet, an indication of her strong commitment and ability to care for animals❤️
