Top rated Elmira house sitters

“Amelia was a wonderful pet and house sitter! She was very attentive to our elderly pets and gave them the care and attention they needed. She was respectful of our house and even watered the plants. We would definitely welcome her back!”


“Brandy communicated so well with me during my out of state trip. Lots of pictures, information, and even fixed our dead bolt lock! She stayed at our home and took care of our two dogs that aren’t used to being alone. The house was spotless when we got back. The dogs have been looking out the window for when their “friend” is coming home. Haha Couldn’t have asked for a better person to do the job. Cheers to Brandy; she gets 100 stars in my book!”


“Ada was absolutely amazing. She took care of our two dogs and three cats while we were out of town for a week and sent tons of cute photo updates throughout the duration of our trip. We will definitely be booking again with her in the future :)”


“Julia was great! She has great communication and gives updates on the dogs with pictures, which is nice to have while away. I am excited to have found her and have already re-booked for future dog sitting!”


“We had a great experience with Hailey. She was very communicative, sending us daily updates, and was flexible when we had a hiccup with our travel plans. Our pets were clearly in wonderful hands with her and she looked after the house well, too. Would love to have her stay with our pets again!”


“Dani was amazing! My dog Ruby takes medicine and not a dose was missed even though the dog was uncooperative at times. She sent regular updates and photos which were much appreciated. My house was in the state I left it which is important to me. I would hire her again in a heartbeat. She is amazing and caring.”


“Rebecca was incredible and saved us from a huge ordeal after someone cancelled on us the day before a big trip to dog-sit. She responded promptly, was obviously very comfortable around animals and spoke fondly of her families doggies. She has a LOVELY, happy energy and I would highly recommend :)”


“Anna is amazing! We received so many updates with pictures throughout the days we were gone. When we returned home our house was spotless and our pup was happy and tired! We will definitely be continuing to use Anna for our sittings.”


About: I am organized and clean, as well as having experience caring for senior dogs. I have been around pets my entire life and love to get to know new animals. I am about to start graduate school and will have plenty of time on evenings and weekends to play with your pet. I already go on walks every night after dinner and could also incorporate morning walks if desired. I love to take animals on walks and hikes, as well as hearing about their favorite toys and ways to play. Please let me know what your pet enjoys!

“Alyssa and Eve watched our dog for a week at our house while we headed out of the country on a cruise. I can’t say enough good things about this pair but will try. Most importantly our dog was loved and well cared for throughout the visit. They followed all our instructions to a tee, fed her on time, made sure she got her medicine, took her on many walks and played endless games of hide and seek and tug of war. I was very grateful for how accessible Alyssa and Eve were throughout the stay. If we ever needed to get in touch with them they were quick to reply. They sent frequent updates, videos and photos letting us know how things were going. And sometimes, things don’t go as planned and in those moments, Alyssa was quick to come up with a solution to ensure our dog was taken care of. Finally they took great care of the house and left it exactly as they found it. We are very picky when it comes to our dog sitters and are so grateful to have found this pair. We already have Alyssa booked for three future pet stays so safe to say we are fans!”


About: I grew up in a household with multiple dogs, cats, birds, and rodents at any given time. I have experience with poultry and livestock as well. I enjoy spending time caring for any breed/age of animal. I am familiar with and comfortable giving medication to pets on schedule. I have experience giving oral meds to canines and felines. I have just recently lost 3 of my furbabies to natural causes of old age, and I currently have 2 Scottish Fold cats. I work a full-time job M-F, currently working 10-hour shifts. I am also available for weekends and overnight work. I would love the opportunity to play a role in caring for your pet. I'm currently working a full-time (10-hour shifts) job, but have a lot of flexibility in my schedule to allow me to care for your pets. I work in a dog-friendly office, and depending on your dog's personality and behavior with other dogs, they can come to work with me. I don't work weekends and can dedicate that time to your pet. I do not currently offer pet care at my home. However, I will come to your home in the environment that you know and your pet is familiar with. Pets can sometimes get sad when their person leaves for an extended time. I like to ensure stability by sticking to your pet's familiar schedule & routine.


“Jessie took wonderful care of our two pups and cat while we were away. He communicated daily and spent a lot of time with our fur kids, who always have separation anxiety while we are gone. We would recommend using Jesse for overnight stays.”


“Ashley was great! She accommodated my schedule and did some extras to help me out (like take out the trash). Junie seemed to be cozy in all the photos that Ashley shared. I appreciated knowing that she has experience working in a veterinary facility.”


“I'm very happy with Maggie who stayed at my home with two dogs and a cat for 3 days, 2 nights. She's obviously an animal lover and they all like her. My home looked great on my return and all the pets were happy. I am using Maggie again in the near future and am comfortable recommending her for overnight stays.”


“We couldn’t ask for anyone better than Kaylee! She takes the absolute best care of our dog and cat while we are away that we never have an ounce of worry. Our animals love her, and she is extremely reliable and great with communication. We cannot recommend Kaylee enough, we wish we could give her 10 stars. Thank you!!”


“Very reliable and communicative sitter. Madisson kept me up to date on my two pups very frequently while I was on a trip which helped keeping my mind at ease. Definitely would recommend her as a pup sitter!”


“Elizabeth was AMAZING!! She would send us updates on the regular, even when we did not ask her too but it was so welcomed since we were very nervous to be away from our two little dogs. She would send us videos and pictures! She left our home extremely clean as well. She is friendly and polite as well. I can not even begin to say one negative thing about her, I wish I could so no one else would want her lol just kidding! Please use her!! She is fantastic!!!”
