“We came home from a four-day trip to a happy, healthy dog who received Rose's excellent care. She was equally gracious about caring for our house, even our ailing basil plant. And her pet photography gave us the best photos we've had of our dog in a long time. She's also a joy to be around. We would give her ten stars if we could.”

About: I have enjoyed dog walking/sitting for the past 12 years. I started in high school and instantly fell in love with it. I enjoy daily walks myself, but they are always more fun with a walking buddy I am in school and working part time. My schedule is open most afternoons and weekends. Since my schooling is fully online I have a somewhat flexible schedule. I have a big yard that is perfect for letting dogs run around and a middle-aged cat who loves making new friends, though he is perfectly happy to sleep in a dark corner if the friends are not so friendly.

“Joules was great with our anxious dog! They helped make sure he was comforted during 4th of July fireworks and were flexible when flight changes shifted our plans. We appreciated knowing Toby was taken care of!”

“Kara was amazing with our babies. I had not ever left them alone with anyone except family but they loved her! She kept me updated throughout my trip on how they were doing and sending photos. I would highly recommend her!!!”

About: I’ve taken care of all different kinds of pets from one hundred pound dogs to chinchillas and reptiles. I was lucky enough to grow up in a neighborhood with lots of animals and found great joy in taking care of them. As a kid I volunteered at my local shelter and saw first hand how each animal has a different story. Above all I love pets and understand what your pet means to you. I am college student with a flexible schedule. I am available weekends and weekdays and can work with you and your schedule to make sure your pet gets the care they need. I prioritize quality walks and play time. I care about your pets well being and understand that meaningful one on one attention helps them feel safe and happy. I make an effort to be fully present during our time together, creating a calm and intimate experience tailored to each pet’s needs.

About: I grew up in a household full of animals and have been pet sitting for neighbors for as long as I have been old enough. I've had dogs, guinea pigs, a rabbit, chickens and numerous other small creatures who I have loved over the years. My profile picture is of my parent's golden doodle! I am currently a physical therapy student at Ithaca College who is spending the summer here in Ithaca and looking to dog walk/sit or pet sit! I am not planning on doing any boarding of animals because of my household's allergies but I am available for house sitting, drop-in visits and walking!

With a background in Veterinary Technology and Biology and experience in clinical settings, we prioritize safety, comfort, and individualized attention for every pet.

I am home 90% of the day and will be able to spend all that time making sure that your pet is safe in my care. I have 2 fenced in enclosures so that way if your pup is a foreign body eater we can prevent that. I also have a grass pen too.

“Cristian has looked after Charlie twice and it’s been a great experience. Cris is a clear communicator, sends lots of photos, Charlie adores him. Cris has helped us out with a sort of last minute request. Highly recommend and hope to have Cris help us out in the future”

About: Hello! my name is James and I love animals, specifically dogs. I will care for your pets as if they are my own. I've been pet sitting for neighbors since I was 12, and my mom routinely has me take care of her two pups when she is out of town. I recently helped my girlfriend with a pet sitting job and I loved it, and the dog loved me, so that's what brought me here :) I'm currently in between jobs, so I am completely available. I will be out of town September 12th-15th, and this may change soon, but in the meantime time, feel free to reach out for any days needed! I make sure that the dog(s) are fed twice a day, or when requested by the owner, and I am always on top of making sure their water is clean and filled. I will also walk the dogs early in the morning, or later at night, as the pavement can get hot this time of year.

“Colleen is a wonderful, caring, and attentive sitter for our fur babies. We are grateful to have found her in the community. Our babies look forward to seeing her again this Summer!”

About: Ive walked dogs for many years from my own dog to friends or families! I have a love for dogs and enjoy spending time with your furry friends! I am available all day on Tuesday and Wednesdays as well as Thursday to Monday before 4pm. I can walk in the mornings and afternoons. I am also able to do overnights if needed. I lost my cat two years ago to old age and cancer. Although I haven't welcomes a new pet of my own into the home I gave birth to Twin girls! They are now 16 months and LOVE visiting with your animals. Sometimes they come with me for walks or drop ins as long as a meet and greet happens where I see a positive interaction between your animal and my babies. If it's not a good match then I either don't have the girls with me or for wont take the boarding request as they live with me full time.

About: Have over 10+ years. Having owned my own dogs. Ready to care for yours ! New to town here, excited to make new friends for my pup! I’m a Stay at home mom. So I’m home almost all of the time. To dedicate to your pet. Love to walk in the neighborhood here too. We take walks, go for hikes, play outside in the fenced backyard. Or just relax in the living room and be couch potatoes. Or I can come to you and do the same.

About: I can't remember a moment in my life when I haven't been surrounded by animals, I grew up in a neighborhood full of dogs and my household was always full of cats. I wasn't a stranger to keeping the peace between the two. I loved walking my neighbor's dog, always helped to keep in shape as an athlete. I am used to walking/ running with larger dogs so keeping up and gaining control of them will never be an issue. My favorite part of day is coming home and seeing my pets! I'm more available in the early morning, evening or on weekend. I try my best to work with your schedule so this runs as smooth as possible without interference or interrupting your daily life and business! I try my best to spend time with my animals when I can, tho my cat tends to ignore me, he still heat all the pets and cuddles he deserves!

“Madeline was amazing with my dog! I was very nervous about leaving him for the first time and she made me feel very comfortable with plenty of updates! He got so excited to see her, will definitely book with her again!”

About: I’ve had pets my entire life, whether it be dogs, cats, or chickens. I’ve been the go-to sitter in my neighborhood for the past several years, providing boarding, overnight care, and potty breaks. I have experience dealing with all kinds of pets and am frequently called to sit for one dog that is unable to tolerate anyone but myself and his owners in his home. I strive to make every visit something your little family members look forward to as the highlight of their day. I am currently a full-time student commuting between my home and Ithaca college. With only a few classes per day and access to a car, I am available to check on your pets several times throughout the day and provide overnight care every weekday. I have experience caring for all types of pets overnight, whether they’re one for nighttime zoomies or nervous nightmares. I’m prepared to accommodate your pets with anything they need to make their time with me enjoyable. During the day, I will be able to provide long walks, frequent playtimes, and transport to the dog park or any other fenced in areas, if that’s what your pet likes most.
