Pet Sitting in Elm City

About: I have been a life long pet owner. From Dachsunds, Jack Russell Terriers and Chihuahuas I've cared for many breeds. I was taught by my father from a young age how to properly care for a pet. I earned my degree in December and have struggled with finding jobs in that field. As someone who already cares for a dog at home, I'm looking to incorporate pet care into my routine to be able earn a little extra money and to be able to help people who have jobs with their own pet care. I'd like to be able create a safe environment not only for pets to play but for them to learn. Building a connection with an animal is very important. To earn their trust and respect is an important step in this line of work for me. Keeping the pet safe from both physical and emotional harm is a necessity.

“As always, Ashley did a wonderful job with drop in visits to our home. She kept our cat well fed, gave her fresh water and played with her during her visits. She also went above and beyond and fed our bearded dragon during the visit. We are so lucky to have found Ashley to ensure our pets are well taken care of!”

About: I have always loved caring for animals and treat every pet like a member of the family. While I don’t currently have any pets of my own, that allows me to provide your dog with my full attention and a calm, comfortable environment during their stay. My home features a secure fenced-in patio with pet-friendly turf for outdoor time, and I’m fortunate to have a large dog park directly across the street as well as another dog-friendly area within my neighborhood. Whether your pup enjoys playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply relaxing, I can tailor their care to their individual needs. I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities, and I have also volunteered with animal shelters, giving me a strong understanding of dog safety and behavior. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I would be honored to provide reliable, attentive care for your dog. I look forward to meeting you and your pup! I am currently a nursing student and stay at home mom. This allows me to give your fur babies my full attention and lots of love and interactive play! I believe every pet is happiest when their normal routine is maintained as closely as possible. Before each booking, I take time to learn about your pet’s feeding schedule, exercise needs, favorite activities, medications, and any special instructions. In my home, pets receive plenty of supervision, attention, playtime, potty breaks, and a clean, safe environment. Dogs have access to a fenced-in patio with pet turf and can enjoy walks or trips to the nearby dog park if approved by their owner. Cats are provided with a quiet, comfortable space, fresh water, clean litter boxes, and enrichment activities tailored to their personality. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect both the pet’s routine and the owner’s home. I follow all care instructions carefully, provide regular updates and photos, maintain feeding and medication schedules, clean up after pets, and make sure they receive plenty of attention and affection while their family is away. My priority is always making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while giving owners peace of mind.

“Cheryl took amazing care of our fur family for five days. Sent great pics and kept us updated on how our babies were doing. We will definitely use her again in the future.”

“Haley was awesome with our frenchie and two cats. This was our first time using Rover. She followed all the instructions for our babies. She made sure they received the attention they deserved and sent update photos for every visit. She was also on time every visit as well. She is much appreciated for the care she provided while me and my wife were away on vacation and I highly recommend her to others, and will be using her again in the future.”

About: I've worked in a nursing home and coached youth sport camps throughout my young adult years. I grew up with dogs and I now have two of my own; a 4 year old mini-cockerpoo, who is very playful, friendly, and submissive, and a 2 yr old Australian-labradoodle. I live an active lifestyle and am very affectionate so you can find us at the dog park, on walks/runs, or all cuddled up together! I am available for services every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, usually with 3 days notice. I am very active and like to bring my own dogs to the dog park almost daily, so I aim to prioritize and maximize their activity needs. I live in a house with long leash extensions for my dogs to play in our spacious yard (working on a fence soon). I aim to take them to the dog park daily and they are very playful, friendly, submissive, active, and cuddly so I can take him on both the small and big dog side. I am very engaging, energetic, loving, and caring so I like to give my all to the dogs and create a fun and safe environment for them to exert all their energy and cozy up to me when they’ve got nothing left.

About: I’ve cared for animals for years and currently have 5 cats and 1 dog of my own, so I’m very comfortable handling a variety of personalities and needs. I’ve helped take care of pets for friends and family, including feeding, walking, cleaning up, and giving them attention and playtime. I understand how important it is to keep pets on their routine and make them feel safe and comfortable while their owner is away. I’m patient, dependable, and always pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and needs. Whether it’s a quick drop-in, a long walk, or overnight care, I make sure every pet is treated like my own. I have a very flexible schedule and am available days, nights, and weekends. I can accommodate walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays as needed. I’m reliable and can adjust to your pet’s routine to make sure they get consistent care, attention, and exercise. My dog can be a bit jealous around other animals, so for safety I’m most comfortable providing care in the client’s home, as well as walks and drop-in visits. I always follow instructions closely, pay attention to each pet’s needs and behavior, and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I’m also open to overnight stays and prefer to meet beforehand to build trust and make sure it’s a good fit for everyone.

“Cierra was wonderful. It's hard for me to leave my cat for a week, but I wouldn't hesitate with Cierra in charge. Timely, considerate, professional, and pleasant to be around. I wish her the best.”

“Abigail was great! My baby was shy, but she made sure he had food and a clean litter box daily. She also gave updates that let me know although he hid he was eating, playing and using the potty while she was away. She even grabbed my mail which I appreciate.”

About: I have always taken care of sweet fur babies since I was a kid. They are man’s best friends!. I was always asked to watch the neighborhood animals, feed, walk, bathe and play catch or tug a war with them. I have taken care of animals of all kinds and can administer medicine or shots if needed. They always leave with a smile on their face and tail wagging. I am available 24/7 to give your animal lots of walks, love and play time. I will be by their side all day to give them lots of care and attention. I have a fenced in backyard they are welcome to enjoy! A very clean home environment for them to enjoy. Lots of attention shown. Any needs they have are always met!

About: While bathing your pup may not be mine nor your fur baby’s favorite, I know that being their temporary “human” with be of utmost importance to you while you are away. While my own fur baby has developed some separation anxiety, I have become much more sensitive to the importance of routine and care in our fur baby’s lives. As I would want someone to treat my pup, I plan to treat your fur family just as such. While I work during the week, my time does open up on the weekends and my time is much more flexible then. I am in education, and if any of you may know, or weekday routines can be busy. Therefore, caring for pups on the weekend would work best. We have crates, if needed, and live off the beaten path to avoid many encounters with vehicles. Farm land surrounds us with many fritters to watch for entertainment.

“Isabel took such good care of our two cats and they just adore her. Her communication and response to us was very punctual and every detail we asked was taken care of. I highly recommend Isabel for your pet care needs.”

“We had Victoria for a week. Swas very good. Would recommend to others.”

JEFF Q.

“Allison & Tyler were great. We felt totally comfortable leaving our dogs in their care. We forgot to leave out the dogs food and Allison called to check and see if perhaps the dogs were already fed or if she should feed them, thanks so much for double checking with us. I will defiantly consider using Allison and Tyler again for our dog sitting needs. Thank you for caring about our dogs like they were your own.”

Mari K.

About: Hey! I’ve been a dog lover since I was a kid and have grown up surrounded by them. At one point, I had four dogs at once, so I’m used to all kinds of energy and personalities!

I take the time to understand each dog’s personality, needs, and routine so they feel safe and at ease. In my home, your pup will be treated like family with plenty of attention, care, and a calm environment. I also have my own dog, so I’m experienced in maintaining a safe and positive space for multiple pets. I’m attentive on walks, mindful of surroundings, and committed to building trust with both you and your pet every step of the way.
