“Did an amazing joke with taking care of my boy. I had to run out of town last minute so I am grateful for the quick response and willingness. I got some pictures and good communication”

“AMAZING sitter! Our girls were well taken care of and treated like they are at home. Received many pictures of them from Destiny and it made us feel so happy with leaving them for a week. Highly recommended!!”

“Alex took such great care of my dog! He provided plenty of updates, including photos and messages, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. My dog came home happy, well-exercised, and clearly well-loved.”


About: Peppy Pet Care was launched at the end of 2018 in Ithaca, NY by myself and my animal-loving, entrepreneurial eleven year old daughter. Together we worked to provide outstanding pet sitting services to Ithaca and Lansing pet owners. Beginning in 2021, I started officially working on my own, as my daughter is busy pursuing other interests and activities. I treat pets in my care as I would my own. I am considerate, patient, reliable and caring and trustworthy. I treat each visit like an adventure and make it the warmest and most wonderful experience for each animal. I look forward to meeting you and your cat/dog and discussing your care needs. Thank you in advance for considering my services!!! I'm available both weekdays and weekends. Mornings, afternoons, evenings, as well as late night. I am typically in town during holidays and update my online calendar frequently. I provide care in client homes only at this time. I'm always vigilant when entering and exiting client homes, so as not to allow pets to slip out.
“Laura was a huge help this past weekend while we were visiting the Ithaca area, agreeing to watch our pup, Beau, somewhat last minute after our original pet sitter fell through. She took Beau on a hike and sent great pictures, which really made us feel at ease. When we came to pick him up he seemed very content and like he had had a great time. Thank you, Laura!”

“Charlie came back happy and healthy! Susan kept us well updated without needing to prompt, which was much appreciated while we were tied up on vacation it was nice to see he was being well cared for.”
“As always, our boys Richard and Philip had an incredible time staying with Robert and Eileen! They got lots of exercise in the big fenced yard, despite the tundra-like conditions, and we got detailed updates every day with cute photos and videos. Richard even learned to fetch! Robert and Eileen are gems, and I would leave them a 10 star review if I had the option!”

“Ray has taken Oona while I’ve been away twice and both times was great with communication and sending pictures. He was flexible and thoughtful. I’m so happy I’ve found someone I so dependable who I can trust to care for my little girl.”

“Rose was great and very easy to deal with. She took great care of our Griff and he loved playing ball and was tired out. I would definetely reccommend her. Very friendly and appreciative and loves animals.”

“Monica was amazing with our dog! He came home happy, healthy, and was clearly well taken care of. He also had a great time with their dog. I will most definitely use her services again!”

About: I've had dogs my entire life from puppies to rescues! I've also been a grooming salon manager in Ithaca for 7 years. I've cared for many different breeds, ages, temperaments, and quirks all dogs have and I love them all the same. I'm now a stay at home mom missing my daily dog visits! I have two dogs of my own Luke and Yoda. Luke is a 6 year old lab grey hound mix around 35 lbs. He is very loving and playful. Yoda is a 5 year old miniature fox terrier mix who has unlimited energy and is the sweetest snuggler. I'm willing to bathe and groom but it just depends on your dogs hair and size because I do not have a grooming area set up yet in my home, but I'm willing to talk about it! I am home all day with my baby and two dogs of my own so I can give the same care to some extra dogs! I treat every dog as if they are my own. I have lots of extra blankets to make sure they have there own space (i do recommend to bring some of there stuff like blankets, beds, and toys to make them more comfortable) and have extra room to separate them if they need to be alone. I will always make sure they are comfortable, happy, loved, and safe!

“Jessica and her husband are incredible care takers! We recently went on a trip and Jessica was sending tons of photos and messages on how our dog was doing which made us feel so at ease as we recently moved to Colorado! Thank you ??”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is that since I was eight years old I have been taking care of cats, dogs, reptiles, and rodents. I have 25 rescue cats back home in California in which I work with rescues for free vaccines and neutering and spaying. Lots of the cats I take care of have special needs or require administering medication. I also have experience with dogs with special needs such as being spoonfed. I work part-time over the winter and will spend most days indoors studying for LSAT. I go for walks on breaks and usually give attention to my pets and others between breaks or as needed! My house has spare rooms where I can house pets if they are not comfortable with my cats! My cats can remain on third floor if needed with free roam acccess around house for cats and for dogs it varies on a case by case basis.

“We dropped off our puppy for the first time ever when in Ithaca for my boyfriends Cornell reunion. Frankie was so well taken care of! Aaron and Kaylee were so responsive and sent us photos and updates each day. Frankie was exhausted when we picked him up and I’m sure was sad to leave his new friends behind. If we are ever in the area again, we would love to use them again!”

About: Hi! I am a huge dog lover and I have grown up with dogs my whole life. I have a 5 year old mini golden doodle who’s very friendly. I work from home a few days a week so I’m flexible!

I will treat them all as if they are my own. I have a friendly mini golden doodle. We go on frequent walks and play a lot of fetch. I will tend to all of your dogs needs.

This is my second time leaving with my dog with Laura and I can’t say enough good things about it. She really cares for the pets she looks after as if they were her own. Very responsive and easy to work with. You can definitely trust her to give the highest level of care for your pets
