“Kiersten did a wonderful job taking care of our kitty for over a week. She was prompt, professional and made us feel our kitty was safe and in good hands.”

About: I've loved caring for pets for family and friends over the years. Moved away from home so looking to keep that same experience around here. I'm generally off on Sundays and Mondays for work, and live close enough for potty breaks and I make my own schedule if enough notice is given. I have a fenced in yard which has been home to dogs the size of a Great Pyrenees down to a Yorkshire Terrier before. The home is large enough for multiple pets to have their space.

4. Jezel R.


“Jezel did an awesome job for caring for our two cats! She was very friendly during our initial visit and sent a ton of photos of them. I know for a fact our cats enjoyed her caring for them and showing them love while we were away! We will definitely contact Jezel again for future care! Highly recommend booking her for your animals care as well!”

“Kelli has done a great job with taking care of my dog. She was very willing and flexible to do a home visit meet and greet and is great at communicating anything that may come up with your pup. So grateful to have her help.”


9. Cassandra V.
About: I have owed and cared for dogs, cats and all kinds of other animals since I was a kid. I am a life long animal lover and rescuer. I have worked with rehabbers to rescue all kinds of wildlife. My goal is to help every animal have the best life possible. I work part time so I have plenty of time to spend caring, playing and hanging out with your precious fur babies on my down time. I have a fenced in yard for your pets to roam and access to food and water constantly. I have a small dog to keep your fur baby company while they are under my care.


10. Adalia R.
“Adalia was great taking care of my dog. She arrived when scheduled and kept me informed of my dog’s wellbeing. I would definitely use her again.”


11. Kimberly B.
“Kim is an organized, caring and thoughtful person in all areas of life. You can rest assured your pet is in good hands when you hire her!”


12. Jennifer F.
About: My previous dog (black lab pictured) was 15 when she passed away and I had her for 14 years so I have been through all of the stages except early puppyhood. I volunteer for a local SPCA, as well as an animal sanctuary, so I have a wide range of experiences. I currently work from home so I am quite flexible with my schedule. I go for a walk every day, sometimes twice a day, so exercise is not a problem. Additionally, I enjoy going for hikes so if your fur baby like an outdoor adventure, all the better! I do not have a fenced in yard, so pet MUST behave relatively well on a leash as outdoor/potty time includes a walk. I do have two cats so dogs must be relatively respectful of cats.


13. Daisy M.

“Daisy does a great job and is very caring for your pet. I have tired her in the past and I will continue to hire her as needed.”


14. Staci K.

“Staci did a great job with my elderly cocker spaniel. I felt very secure knowing that she was taking care of her during my vacation out of town. I received several pictures and updates on how she was doing while I was gone. I would definitely book her again to care for Tulla. Thank you, Staci?”


15. Samantha H.

“Sam was an absolute angel with my very anxious boy, who is usually super shy with new people. She was consistent and very informative with everything happening throughout the day. Very thankful to have her for my babies!!”


16. Stephanie W.
About: Hi my name is Steph and I love animals of all kinds! I currently have 4 cats of my own. I have plenty of experience with dogs, growing up with large breeds and pet sitting since I was 12 years old! I am a part time nursing student with open availability. I am patient, caring and would love to take care of your pets when they need it most! I work part time Mon-Fri, 4pm - 9pm. I am a part time nursing student with only 1 class day a week. So I am available for many hours during the day! In my home my 4 cats get nothing but love from my family and I. If you trust me to care for your pets I will treat them like nothing other than my own! 💗


17. Sabrina S.

“In the past, Sabrina has watched my dog, Roofus. She was always on time and demonstrated a professional behavior while caring for him. She took him on multiple walks and played with him outside. Roofus had a great time with Sabrina and looks forward to when she comes over to watch him.”


18. Lorna H.
About: A semi recent transplant from NYC/NJ area to upstate NY - Residing in Elmira for the past 3+ years. I have a lifetime of experience with pets in and have walked/cared for many others pets on a part time basis for many years - even while in the corporate world myself. I enjoy all breeds of dogs from puppies to seniors and even those with basic medical needs. I live an active/athletic life and love going for long walks, hikes, trails with my dogs/your dogs but also being a parent of two strong willed small dogs (chihuahua & mini pincher) myself - I know how a short brisk walk to get in all the sights & smells is just as enriching. Play time or time spent providing companionship is essential. I'm here to calm your nerves and focus on what is important for you & your fur family member while you are at work or away for a long weekend or vacation. I work primarily from home, however my flexible schedule ensures I have time and space to attend to your special furry family member. So wether it's a daily walk or sitting while you are away at work, an extended business trip or night away - your pet will also have a change in scenery & an enriching experience. Safety First and Fun 2nd. For those of you interested in my boarding services, we live on 7 secluded acres here in Elmira and take full advantage of that along with the beautiful rolling hills, trails and roads to take your dogs out for walks & stimulate their senses. And for those that have smaller dogs, and may prefer or require a modified outdoors experience I have a small fenced in dog run area that allows them to 'do their business'. I also have a large deck for the sun worshipers. I have a ring alarm on my front door. I bring all dogs in & out of the home via my garage to ensure all are properly leashed before going out for walks. I can crate dogs overnight if that is the preference otherwise the dogs will sleep overnight in my home office with pet cushions but the room would be gated off from the rest of the house during overnight hours. I feed on schedule & medicate upon schedules provided to me by the owner


19. Amanda V.

“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.”


20. Jade F.

“Jade was an amazing dog sitter! We have a really reactive pup and Jade did a great job of keeping her on routine and kept her engaged during her visits. We are super grateful to have found her on this app. Thanks again Jade!”
