About: I have years of experience caring for pets of all kinds, from energetic puppies to laid-back seniors, and I treat each one as if they were my own. My home features a secure, gated yard where pets can safely play and relax, and as a runner, I enjoy keeping active dogs engaged with plenty of exercise and outdoor time. Whether it’s a game of fetch or a jog around the neighborhood, I make sure your pet stays happy, healthy, and stimulated. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine as a medical student off for the summer, giving me plenty of time and flexibility to focus on your pets needs. In my home, pets enjoy safe, gated yard playtime and plenty of attention throughout the day. Whether in my home or a client’s, I follow each pet’s routine closely—feeding, exercise, and cuddle time included—while keeping them comfortable, happy, and stress-free in a familiar or home-like environment.

About: I have always lived in a home full of cats, dogs, hamsters and guinea pigs. Since I was old enough to stay home by myself, I was old enough for pet duty. This year my two childhood dogs passed away so I would love to enjoy the love and warmth that other peoples pets bring. Aside from teaching, I have also nannied therefore i used to working with others schedules/rules and expectations. I am a teacher at Schuyler Head Start. Being employed in education gives me the luxury of having summers off so I have loads of free time to spend with your pets! I live in a pet friendly apartment complex, with a spacious two bedroom apartment. I will be able to walk dogs at least four times daily and have a spot for a litter box. I have my own puppy pads and doggy bags in case of accidents or pups in training.

“Lillian recently did drop in visits over the weekend to care for our cats; She was incredibly attentive, ensuring that our one cat felt comfortable even during nervous moments. She kept the litter and food spaces clean and tidy, she provided regular updates and followed through on all our agreed-upon plans. It’s clear that she cares about pets. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for drop in pet care.”


“Kayla is so awesome. Not only did she come to our rescue at the last minute, but she sent us pictures of our kitty. Really appreciate her coming to the rescue with less than 24 hours notice to do a quick drop by to feed our cat. Would highly recommend Kayla!”


“Jezel took really good care of Luci Purr. She gave frequent updates and communicated well. She always asked questions if my directions weren't clear. I could tell Luci Purr liked spending time with her. Each day I felt so confidant in Jezel I didn't worry about Luci at all during my 7 day trip. I would definetly book cat sitting with Jezel again for future trips out of town.”


About: I've loved dogs ever since I can remember. I have experience caring for every breed of dog imaginable. Never found one I didn't love to the moon and back. I am a firefighter so my schedule can vary but I'll have lots of time to care and love your pup and give them all the scratches they deserve. I treat others' homes just like my own, if not better. I also don't mind grabbing your mail, feeding other pets, or watering plants if needed.

About: I am looking to be a cat sitter, feeding and caring for your cat while you are away. I understand how important it is to have good pet care (I have 3 rescued cats) when you are away and would like to provide that for you to ease your mind while you are away. I am available daily morning and evenings to feed and play with your cats. I have a very flexible schedule to accommodate your pet's needs. I am able to feed wet and dry food, change water bowls, clean cat litters, brush them and play with them in your home and make them feel loved while you are away.

About: I’ve pet sat for family members but I’ve also and still currently pet sit for previous teachers. I’ve done an internship at a vet clinic. I completed boces which made me a certified veterinary assistant. I worked at the SPCA while finishing up college. Volunteered at Tanglewood Nature Center. Depending on my work schedule I spend as much time as possible outside of work with your pets. I don’t leave them alone for long at all. I’m easy going, my dog gets crated when I’m not home. I will make sure nothing is sitting out that could potentially harm an animal

“Staci took very good care of my two cats. We had her do two visits a day and she was very prompt and you could almost set your watch by her. She followed the feed and care instructions to the letter and even went above and beyond to make sure Oliver, who has CKD, was comfortable. I would recommend Staci if you're looking for a good reliable pet sitter.”


“Cassandra did an amazing job taking care of my 3 cats. She was very quick to respond if i had any question or concerns and showed real genuine care for my animals. She was my first sitter on Rover so i was kind of nervous about the whole process but she really made everything very easy and i was able to focus on my vacation and what i needed to get done.”


About: I grew up on a farm and have been around all sorts of animals. I have experience with all types of dogs, from Great Danes to Chihuahuas. Neighbors, friends, and family have previously relied on me to house sit and care for their pet(s) while they’re away. I’m currently working part time, so I have lots of free time to care for your pet(s). Even on days I work, I can do potty breaks before and after. I rely on what the client tells/gives me. I like to keep animals in their own home so they can feel comfortable and not anxious with another person and at another home. It’s good to keep one of those neutral.

“Amanda was great! We ended up needing to modify our plans somewhat with respect to timing of her visits , and needed a regular "heads-up" on her visits. She kept us consistently informed as to when she would be arriving at the house. Would definitely try to use her again.”


About: I’ve always had household dogs&cats as well as taken care of friends/family’s pets since I was about 13. From my brothers labs,huskies and beagles, to cousins large and protective Rottweilers, to good friends hyper anxious dog with a cancer diagnosis. As well as other friends super hyper border collie and chiuahua. The most pets I cared for at once was five dogs and two cats. I’ve also cared for three cats and a bearded dragon at the same time. I myself have two cats I train, play with love and care for Currently searching for full time work, I pet sit, baby sit and freelance as of now. I used to work in cosmetic retail and of my freelancing is still in the realm of beauty. I have a very open schedule for pet care currently! I’ve driven all around for pet care before and always make it a point to ease into home of the pet. I also have always enjoyed dog walking or dropping in for a pet visit/check in, it’s like free pet therapy to me!
