“Kaylee was great! Very responsible, dedicated, and communicative. I felt safe knowing she was looking after my cats, and she went above and beyond dealing with their shenanigans! Totally recommend her as a pet-sitter.”

“Elizabeth was fantastic with our dogs! She was reliable, communicative, and clearly loves animals. We returned from our trip and found our animals were happy and well cared for. Elizabeth went above and beyond and made sure our dogs had comfort during fireworks which typically cause them to have high anxiety. I’ll definitely book with them again!”

With experience ranging from young dogs to seniors, I provide a calm, structured environment where your pet can feel safe and at ease. What sets me apart is my exclusive focus on smaller breeds.

I work full-time as a remote software engineer, which means I’m home throughout the day and able to provide consistent supervision and companionship. My flexible schedule allows me to take regular breaks for walks, playtime, and one-on-one attention—ensuring your small dog is never left alone for long stretches and always feels cared for.

With a large yard and the companionship of my own two playful dogs—a Chihuahua mix and a Pomeranian —your pet will enjoy playtime, walks, and personalized care.

“It has been such a pleasure getting to know Kait before her upcoming week stay with our dogs! Our dogs seem to love her already and she’s so friendly, courteous, dependable, positive, and knowledgeable. So grateful to have found her!”

“Kate is a wonderful petsitter! She goes the extra mile and sends a ton of videos and funny pictures of my cats playing and having fun with her. She’s taken care of my cats since they were kittens so my reviews are probably getting a bit repetitive at this point—she does such a great job 👏”

“Jenna was wonderful with my cat! I knew he was in good hands while I was away. I would definitely recommend her to anyone. She was super responsive and gave prompt updates!”

About: I have had 3 puppies in the past 3 years and one elderly, sickly dog that I help take care of, and watch a family friend's dogs, by walking and feeding them whenever they need me to as they take multiple trips throughout the year. Very flexible as watching pets is something I do on a daily basis with all 8 of my dogs requiring attention. My schedule also fits the needs of future clients and what special needs they may insist on. I would go directly to my clients home's in order to keep their dogs in a safe and comfortable environment to walk, feed and watch them as needed.

“Rebooked with Lauren! She’s so amazing with my cat, Meekhas. Let’s your pet come to her when they’re ready. Lauren is also reliable and communicative as a sitter! Highly recommend.”

Dora P.

“Naomi did a great job with our three cats! She was thorough in completing all the tasks asked of her, and updated us on each of her visits so I was a little less anxious being away. I'd definitely hire her again!”

I currently work at a local vet clinic here in Ithaca so I am also up to date and knowledgable about different breeds,foods, treats, and everything cat and dog! Ive been pet sitting and walking since the age of 13 Which has helped me learn all about caring for animals at all ages. From 4 weeks up till seniority, I can do it all and love every minute of it. Taking care of animals is something im extremely passionate about. I would love the opportunity to meet you and your furry(or feathered or scaled) friend! I currently do work full time and have 2 kidsof my own; and my work schedule does change from week to week but with a little bit of planning, im able to make most things work! Never be afraid to ask if you dee something and are unsure if im the right fit for you! Rover inly lets me specify certain details. I take all safety precautions, double leashes, prong collars(if provided), harnessed walkes, anything that YOU say works best for your pet, I am doing. I dont like to take the risk!

“Linnea dropped in with our cat while we were out of town for a few days, everything went smoothly and we would definitely book with her again!”

“Great experience, even better than I had hoped for, outgoing care provider. Took care of my 3 pets for 2 months and they thrived during her care.”

About: Hello! I started pet-sitting seriously in graduate school and had a consistent base of clients for two years. Later, I volunteered at a local humane society where I cared for and interacted with cats and dogs multiple times a week, for three years. This experience taught me a great deal more about dogs, including behaviors, breed traits, and exercise needs. While it's not my profession, animal care-taking has definitely become my passion! I've taken care of cats with very specific feeding programs as well as dogs who have special needs (like my lazy friend Colonel Lafayette the Basset Hound in my pictures). I treat every animal exactly how they want to be treated. Sometimes that is a lot of love and affection, but sometimes there are cats who like their distance! Whatever your animal needs, I'm happy to accommodate them. I commute daily and can easily work in visits in the early morning and late afternoon. Weekends are quite free for longer visits and homestays. It's an honor to have a key to someones home and to be trusted to care for their animals, and I take this very seriously. I am a guest in your home, but in that time your pet is family to me. I always make sure to leave a home neater than I found it, and will double, triple check that all is as it should be before I depart.

“I was worried about leaving my pups with anyone!! But then Chris stops by for my meet and greet and assured my that all would be great. After watching him with my dogs I was happy to finally take a vacation that was well needed.. I arrived home to find my home just a cared for as I left it, happy pups and all. I definitely recommend chris for anyone looking for a attentive and loving Dog sitter/house sitter... THANKS AGAIN CHRIS!”

Derick C.

“She was great at communicating and shared photos daily of her visits. I was very at ease knowing that my pet was being taken care of and given some loving company. Will definitely rebook with her whenever I need a sitter again!”

About: I’ve loved animals all my life. I have a very vivid memory of fishing with my father. We caught a fish the size of a silver dollar. Thrilled to throw it back my father stopped me and proceeded to cut the fish up for bait. I cried for so long that day. Looking back it’s pretty funny that it stayed with me. Presently that experience reverberates through my life in small cries during commercials featuring animals doing sweet/sad things, and big sobs in the theater when one is lost on screen. I’m an owner of 2 cats. Both are very sweet. One is more curious and the other more apprehensive (he hides when we have other animal visitors). I’ve raised 3 dogs and have fostered once before. I’ve worked at a Veterinary Clinic back in Texas and have experience with giving oral medication as well as subcutaneous injections. I give 2 shots to my own twice daily so I’m very familiar with it. I go to school full-time and I only live 7 minutes away from school! My classes during the week are usually 3 hours long with at least 3 hours in-between classes. Friday through Sunday my attention is all to your fur baby. I have a small open yard with a leash anchor so your pet can enjoy time outside with a sense of freedom and supervision during outside time. There are trails close to my house for walking and our small neighborhood has a 30 mph speed limit. If your pet is crate trained I can accommodate a crate in a large well lit kitchen or an equally well lit cozy upstairs bedroom. Either way under supervision your pet has full access to my couch and home to be as comfortable as they need. If they require smaller spaces my bedroom (cats not allowed upstairs) is free to roam as well. No human food is easily accessible in the house due to my own pets’ dietary issues. I’m happy to communicate most times of the day through text or app for updates on your loved one.

About: Personally I’ve cared for many animals over the years, whether it was pets of my own, or pet sitting for friends and family. Professionally I have experience working with dogs, cats, and horses as a kennelman. I have a very flexible schedule and I’m able to adjust it to accommodate and prioritize the needs of you and your pet as needed. Client care in home will be dependent on the needs of your pet. I can provide walks on site if possible or elsewhere locally as needed.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and currently have a German shepherd of my own. I’ve also walked and cared for many dogs since I was a teenager including dog sitting for my own Veterinarian’s dogs. I’m a part time therapist and I work remote so I’m always local. My availability varies but I’m mainly available mornings and afternoons before 3pm as well as most weekends. In your home I would make sure your dog is as comfortable in its routine as if you were home and leave no trace of my presence. If I were to care for your dog in my home I have a friendly German shepherd puppy (fully vaccinated) and a dog-friendly cat. If your dog is comfortable with other dogs and cats I’d be happy to welcome them into our furry family for their visit.

About: Hi! My name is Emery and I am a recent college grad. I've had a wide variety of pets that I've taken care of in the 7 years of experience I have. I have taken care of dogs for about 4 years and have experience feeding, walking, and watching dogs. I also really enjoy taking dogs on hikes! I have mostly done house drop ins where I would feed the dogs and play with them. I own three cats myself, Pumpkin (13), Bean (11 weeks old) and Sprout (3). I have trained the older ones to do tricks and to go on walks. My most recent experience has mostly been in care for cats, where I would feed and play with them at home visits. I am currently a line cook and I work mostly evenings. I can easily work pet care around my schedule by making sure I go to take care of your pet needs before any shift. I have two cats at home, and I am willing to house cats at my home. Small dogs are allowed on a case by case basis. I have an extra bedroom to be used as a safe zone for your pet's privacy. I also already have extra litter boxes. Our cats here have experience meeting other cats and dogs. They interact well with them. As for dogs I am willing to dedicate as much time needed to make sure they adjust well and feel safe with me. I love to play with dogs and give them belly rubs.
