House Sitting in Hornell

“Took great care of our dogs! Thank you so much.”

“This is the third time Elizbeth cared for my two dogs and one cat. This was a 2-night house-sitting job. I can't say enough positive things about how Elizabeth ensured my pets' welfare. Both dogs are pretty sensitive and have been uneasy when we have been away in the past. Not so with Elizabeth! They had a great time playing and cuddling with her, and they settled in beautifully. When we got home, I could see how comfortable they are with Elizabeth. What a difference and what a relief! I recommend Elizabeth highly for her pet sitting skills and dedication to the best care for my pets.”

“Shauna was wonderful with Ozzie. She came to our campsite and took care of him while we went out. She was flexible with her hrs. and came 2 days in a row. He gets very nervous whenever I leave and she was able to keep him calm and happy. He generally takes a while to warm up to people and he took to her immediately. I would highly recommend her.”

“Devin is the most empathetic and loving person I know. Especially when it comes to animals. If his full time job could be working at a shelter to help animals in need, he would. And don’t get me started on his love for floofy dogs!”

“Keira is an experienced, responsible, kind, friendly, and considerate pet caregiver. She understands the pet's/animal's needs, from a nutritional, emotional, companionship, and safety perspective. Keira will make sure she has all her questions answered, emergency numbers/addresses saved, special nutritional needs, home access and pet rules understood when she accepts the job. She has taken care of our dogs, both young and senior, our turtle, and friends' pets including horses. One of her special touches is to take a picture(s) of our fur-babies to send us while we are away. We trust her implicitly.”

About: I’ve pet sat for many people who go on week vacations, nights out, or just a couple hours! I’ve had many dogs and cats through my life and have trained many puppies, and dogs! I’ve taken care of elder animals that need special attention, and young pups that have a ton of energy! I’m currently a full time student, weekends and evenings work great and can stop in through the day during the week for breakfast lunch and dinner! I have 3 dogs and 2 cats. The dogs have full access to the whole yard and regularly take walks/ runs with my dogs, hikes are our favorite!

“Chloe is absolutely wonderful! She’s great with our dog and is so kind! She took great care of our house and puppy while we were gone! We would suggest her to anyone!”

“I only trust Biz with my animal babies! She’s the best and the ultimate animal lover! Shes very attentive to your animals needs and takes her job as the up most importance. Thank you Biz!”

“Jasmine is a respectful, awesome girl. She is a great outdoorsy person who loves to hike and spend time with all different kinds of critters. We have had Jasmine watch our animals a bunch of time and they are so happy an love her when she comes around. If I needed anyone to sit my animals I'd definitely recommend Jasmine.”

About: I have 2 dogs one sick and a cat. I am in highschool until June 2019. I am looking for a job to earn some money for college. I have to give my sick dog medicine for liver shunts 3 times a day so I know what it's like. I can't watch dogs at my house because I don't want my dogs to do anything harmful. I can clean litter boxes and have cleaned up many puppy accidents from my dogs. I can walk dogs around and occasionally check in and feed and water them. I have given my dog a bath and am also willing to do the same as long as the dog is not aggressive. I have watched dogs before. I am eager to get to work and earn some money for college.

“Shaylon is not only a lovely person, but an amazing lover of animals. I couldn’t find anyone to trim my pot belly pigs nails without traumatizing her by rolling her on her back and letting her “scream it out”. Shaylon was patient, loving, and kind, and she understood why I didn’t want to just flip her on her back and upset Petunia. I know my girl is always in great hands and getting lots of love and cuddles during the process. I highly recommend Shaylon. Petunia and I wouldnt trust anyone else!”

“Deonna was wonderful with our 3 dogs. We have two golden retrievers that are very energetic and seek constant attention and she was wonderful and patient with them. She stayed in contact with me and gave us updates throughout the week that she stayed at our house. We would love to have her back!”

About: I have been an animal caregiver for more than 20 years and have taken care of dogs, cats, horses, donkeys, sheep and birds. Taking care of puppies, seniors or special need dogs is something that I am comfortable with. It is my belief that most dog problems are cured with exercise, attention and training and am confident that I can provide that during my time with your pet using positive reinforcement and daily repetition as well as keeping up the training that has already been established. I use natural horsemanship (i. e. Parelli games and round penning) and am comfortable riding English and Western styles. Besides taking care of animals, I have also taken care of large estates as well as farms and private residence in the Boston and Los Angeles areas, as well as internationally in Italy, Uruguay and Argentina. High values are important to me and giving peace of mind with responsibility and reliability is something I strive for. I have recently relocated to the Western NYS area to be closer to family and am happy to be at your service. I am a freelance writer creating my own hours, which allows myself to be available to your pets full time. I do not do boarding at this time and prefer to stay where the animal is most comfortable. I am willing to consider doing drop in service if it is close by and if it is anything but a dog. I believe dogs need more time and I am not comfortable crating a dog for a long period of time. I believe that exercise and attention are key especially for young animals. I will play games with your pets (including horses). I love to take long walks and take dogs on excursions. I am also comfortable riding or round-penning horses.

About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of animals my whole life. I’ve worked at pet stores and have been pet sitting for many years. I will provide any care your pet needs including administering medicine. As I just got back from college, I have plenty of time to spend with your pets at all times of the day! Just let me know and I’ll make it work! I know every home has their own way of doing things and I will do my best to keep this going while you are away.

“Catrinais wonderful and takes wonderful care of all of my crcreatur. She has been watching our cats, dogs,and houses for over 20 years. She's timely with great attention to details and loves animals so much. Highly, highly recommend her.”

About: I am currently a Licensed Veterinary Technician and am Fear Free certified. I have the knowledge to provide basic care for your animals along with administering oral or injectable medications, bathing, trimming nails, cleaning ears, etc. I have experience caring for animals in emergency situations, special needs, or senior animals. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, hamsters, Guinea pigs, and rabbits. I understand how difficult it can be to be apart from your animals but can ensure quality care. I look forward to hearing from you :) I’m available for sitting on the weekends and can do walks or drop-bys on Tuesdays, Thursday’s, Saturdays, and Sundays. With enough notice my schedule can be more flexible. As a full time Vet Tech I have the knowledge and passion to care for your animals. I’m happy to share pictures while you’re away or provide additional services at no extra cost.

About: Taking care of people, animals and the planet is what brings my soul true joy and happiness. Your pet might not want to leave 🤣 I am fortunate enough to work a job that I can create my own schedule. I am able to adjust as needed so no worries I care for pets by making sure they feel loved and safe at all times, as well as a comfy tummy and most importantly are having fun!

“linsey has always had the biggest heart to humans but especially animals. she grew up working on a farm and has always loved dogs the most. she’s always on time and such a responsible person. we’ve been friends for quite some time and i have no bad things to say about her, she will treat the dogs with the absolute care and love. my highest recommendation goes to her.”
