Kayla was awesome checking in on our cats, dog and puppy! She went above and beyond when our puppy wasn't feeling well. Great communication, super flexible, and clearly cared a lot. Highly recommend!

Kirsten was amazing with our baby girls. They got along really well with her, and were really good taken care off. Kirsten cleaned their eyes, fed them, and cleaned all the mess they made playing, and, of course, sent us amazing pictures! She’s going to be our pet sitter for the future! Very glad to have someone we can trust!

Caterina was an absolute lifesaver! She was able to accommodate a last-minute drop-in visit for my puppy, and I couldn’t be more grateful for her quick response and willingness to travel outside her normal radius to care for him. It meant so much to me to know he was in such good hands. I’m incredibly thankful for her and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for reliable and compassionate care. ❤️

About: Animal rescue is my true passion in life. I grew up rescuing and caring for animals with my mom, and as an adult, I’ve continued to adopt pets in need from my local shelter. Besides taking care of my own animals, I’ve also looked after friends’ and family members’ pets many times. I really enjoy building trust with animals and watching them feel safe and comfortable with me. I’m experienced in administering medication, understanding animal body language, and creating a calming environment so your pet can relax. I know how hard it can be to leave your animal with someone else, especially if they need special medical care. If you choose to trust me with your pet, I promise to communicate openly, be dependable, and show genuine compassion. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your pets are loved and well cared for while you’re away. I work from home which allows me greater flexibility to be available for your animals. For dog walking and drop in visits, I'm typically available after 3PM on weekdays, or all day on weekends. For house sitting, I can work at your home during my stay to provide full time care. I prefer to care for your pets in their own home, as my rescue cat does not get along with other animals. I'm happy to take on any and all responsibilities for your pets, whether it's in your home or during walks. Your pet's health and safety is my top priority.

Venita was so amazing! She did a drop in and my pup was sick. She cleaned up his crate and played with him. She communicated well throughout everything. She even stayed later when asked, which I appreciated immensely! She sent photos of my pup as well, which was great. Will definitely book her again.

John completed check ins for my medium sized dog over the Easter holiday weekend. He is very detail oriented. Came to meet me and my pet prior to reservation. Took notes and noted Maddie's routine. Provided regular updates throughout reservation. I will certainly utilize John again in near future.

Jenna was an astounding pet sitter for Roxy. She went way above and beyond and really was determined to make friends with Roxy, who is a very persnickety cat and only loves me. I would recommend Jenna to anyone! If there was an option for 30 stars, I would give her a 31 star review.

About: I am so grateful to have known so incredible dogs that have brought me joy in my life! Many of my relatives and friends have dogs that I have cared for, walked, and befriended over the years. Dogs are such special animals that truly bring out the life and love in everyone. There’s nothing more exhilarating than running around with an excited pup, and getting to give them scratches and pets afterwards. I would love to meet your dog and have fun with them! 🦴🎾 I work part time at a bakery, so I have the greatest flexibility on Mondays, Tuesday mornings/early afternoon, Wednesday evening, Friday or Saturday evenings. Let me know what works for you and we’ll figure it out :) I am currently unable to host other pets as I have an older kitty in my home & she is sensitive to other animals. I am willing to work with you to provide the best possible care for your animal in your home ❤️

About: Hello! I have been a dog groomer for over 10 years and a part time dog walker for 5. I have recently become more available to take on another client or two. I have done long term dog walking and dog sitting for a few local families in the Cortland area. They love me and I love them and their pups! I'm currently employed as a psrt-time dog groomer and have been at this facility for 10 years. 5 years ago I began dog sitting and walking for a few local families and now that my children are older I'm able to take on another client or two. My weekly schedule is flexible but Friday's I'm unavailble all day due to a full client scheudle that day! I have three dogs, a cat, and some chickens. All my animals are up to date and we have an electric fence to maintain their boundary. They get alot fo walking, running (especially the goldendoodle,) naps, and lovin'. My clients pets get walked twice a day, sometimes three if needed. I have one family who just likes me to go and let them out, play some fetch, and lots of belly rubs. I have been asked to take pets for walks, emergency pick ups from boarding facilities, and asked to do feeding schedules.

About: I have always had pets in my life. I was born into a house with cats and dogs and have had two dogs for as long as I can remember. I have taken care of the animals when my parents have been gone. We have had dogs old and young of all sizes and I love all animals big and small. I will love on animals and play with them, take care of them or just snuggle if they dont like to play. I will be with the animals as much as possible in between other jobs. I also have worked at petsmart in the pet hotel so I have a lot of knowledge and experience working with pets. I am currently working full time but I can let the dogs out before I go to work and then can go right after work as well. I go in at 8 am and get off at 330 pm I will take special care with each pet and be sure to follow the rules that are set by the pet parent. Because of working at petsmart I pay close attention to details and take special care of pets.

I chose Ashley because she had the highest rating of the sitters in my area. It is well deserved. She took great care of my "shy" rescue Boston Terrier. They are now great friends. Ashley sent me updates on all of their visits and selfies of Revlon sitting in her lap. Anyone can put food and water down for a dog but few can shower them with patience and love!
