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
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.
About: I love dogs they can tell. I have a boxer that enjoy running with and playing engaging games. I don't mind walking and running in winter weather. I enjoy working with dogs that want to get out and run but I'm also enjoying working with dogs who have gained some pounds and need a walk... who hasn't been there!? I think happy dogs are less destructive dogs and less distructive dog means happier owner. My hours and availability maybe changing relatively soon, but I am available every day before 8 and every day after 3 im available for overnight stays or weekend stays. I’m not able to board right now but I will be able to board soon! I look forward to hearing from you!!! -Cassi
“Great about doing in drop-in visits for my cat while I was away! Good communication and updates!”
“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.”
About: I have had dogs and one cat since I was a child up until about a year ago. I trained and socialized my dogs so they were always people, child and pet friendly. I am patient and I will understand they will be stressed when their family is not with them. I love walking dogs, playing whatever games they enjoy or just spending time with them for comfort. I work from home full-time and have a flexible schedule during the week and weekends. My work week is normally done by noon on Thurs., so I have long weekend availability. I would treat your pet as I would my own. Give extra attention as we know animals miss their family. I will provide in home care so your pets are more comfortable when you are away.
“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.”
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.”
“Chelsea is reliable and super nice. My dogs loved her. Highly recommend.”
“Laura came on time and spent the full amount of time with Billy, she left detailed notes about how the visit went and took pictures. This is the second time we have used Laura and will continue to in the future when we book with Rover!”
About: Transplant from NYC/NJ area to upstate NY - Residing in Elmira. I bring a lifetime of experience with pets and have walked/cared for others pets on a part time basis for many years - I enjoy all breeds of dogs from puppies to seniors and even those with basic medical needs. I live an active lifestyle and enjoy going for long walks, hikes, trails with my dogs/your dogs but also being a parent of two strong willed small dogs 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 fur 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
