Pet Sitting in Homer

“Friendly, attentive and very accommodating!”

“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!”

About: I grew up and have lived with a multitude of animals, and have always loved others’ pets as they were my own. Other than my own pets, I have experience pet sitting for friends and strangers alike, and have always taken the utmost care to ensure that the distress of their humans’ absence is minimal. I love to play and cuddle! I do have a full-time job where I work Wednesday-Sunday 3-11pm, so services would take place before and after my scheduled work days. I can make accommodations if necessary, but only for special circumstances. I treat every animal I come into contact with as if they're my own - with exuberant love and care. I can typically carry out any care requests made, such as crating, but I can also kick back on the couch and watch TV with them - it's really about preference and what they're used to. As I have recently relocated to New York from California, my schedule is wide open while I search for a stable income. I'm more of a night owl than an early bird, so any services other than sitting will occur later in the morning/early afternoon. I treat others' homes with the utmost respect - it will be the same when I leave as it was when I arrived. I also honor that the home is that of the animal, and that will be reflected in my approaches as well.

“Emma was extremely reliable and communicative. She let Leo express his needs (play, cuddling, chilling) and gave him the attention and time he needed. Her updates and pics let me know my cat was in good hands. I would highly recommend Emma for your cat sitting needs!”

“Megan was awesome with our elderly mastiff. Communication was great. She gladly extended her services for an extra day on short notice. I will definitely use her services again in the future if needed.”

“I highly recommend Chantal for anyone in need of a reliable and friendly caregiver for their furry friends. Her communication was excellent throughout the entire process and she was very accommodating to our two labs!”

About: I’ve taken care of all breeds of dogs and helped care for them since a child. Three of the 6 dogs i have now are puppies that are from our baby girl Octavia. You never really can have too many fur friends ;) I’m currently working a seasonal job but have pretty open availability. I have 6 of my own dogs who needs exercise daily/weekly you pup can join! I have an electric fence set up in my yard if needed i also have a crate that can be used if needed for whatever reason.

“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!”

“Candyse was such an amazing help over the holidays while we were traveling. She checked on our cat while we were away and gave great updates on him each time, even sending us photos each time. She went above and beyond in helping us out. I would highly recommend Candyse to watch your pet.”

“Gabriela was absolutely wonderful when visiting my cat Mittens for a week when I was on vacation. She was punctual, communicative, and left me with lovely pictures and written updates about my fluffy man every day I was gone. I would highly recommend her for anything you may need here on Rover!”

“Shannon takes great care of her animals. She loves on them and makes sure that all of their needs are met. Highly recommend for your pet care needs!”

About: I have always enjoyed taking care of dogs. I have taken dog sitting more seriously since I have been in upstate NY since I have reliable transportation and have the schedule to do so. Friends and family have relied on me to walk and feed their dogs. I wish I could own my own pet but I am not able to due to my apartments regulations. However, I show extra extra love and will love your pet like my own. I do work full time. So if I am dog sitting, I will offer to spend the night, walk them in the morning, my lunch break if I am able, and then I would return in the evening. I also have full availability on the weekends. If your dog needs to be walked or use the bathroom frequently, that is something I would need to know so I can adjust my working schedule so I can meet their needs. I am very attentive to animals. I will crate, if necessary. I will not let them go outside without my full undivided attention. I make sure they are fed properly and all messes (if any) are cleaned up. I also make sure I clean up behind myself and leave your house the same way you left it.

“Mackenzie was great! She connected with our cats so well and captured their personalities in daily update photos. Mackenzie is very responsive and reliable and we will be reaching out to her again. Thanks Mackenzie!!”

“Aubree was great and showed up on time both days! She sent us pictures of our cat Teddy and he looked super happy. When we got home he had a full food dish and water so she is very responsible! Would definitely recommend her for drop ins with cats!”

About: I have had two dogs my whole life and I am in college, which means I’m dogless. I’ve taken care of my dogs since I was old enough to hold them, sick or just in need of exercise. With COVID my class schedule is easy but 3-6:30 is hard due to my practices. Other than my practice I am rather flexible in my schedule. I’m a total dog person and I am patient with animals. As far as COVID I get tested about twice a week from my school.

“I was curious when Jacob would come so I peaked on my doggy cam. It just happens when I did he was entering my place. I must say, for a first time coming in and gaining my dogs trust, Jacob was the sweetest. Very patient and I could easily see he is extremely familiar with dogs and this situation. After seeing the first encounter I knew my pup was in great care! I highly recommend Jacob ?.”

“Jess is a wonderful woman who is one of the most loving and caring people I know. She has her own cat and dog that she loves dearly and cares for like she would a child. She is passionate, kind, and an all around lovely person. She is also very aware, sharp-minded, and quick to action in situations of potential emergency. In my humble opinion, this is the best girl for the job.”

About: I’ve had animals my whole life, and have been trusted by multiple family members to care for their cats or dogs. I also have a dog of my own so I have a good idea on how to keep them happy and healthy! I have a full time job during the week, but I get out at 5’clock everyday and can be available by about 6ish since I am commuting to Syracuse. However on the weekends I am mostly available all the time. I love spending time with animals and love forming new bonds with all sorts of furry friends and am just looking for a side job. I have a fenced in yard as well as a good amount of space in my house. I also live in the village of Homer so it makes it really easy to go for safe walks.

“Thank you for taking care of Luna! Betsy was great to communicate with.”
