Pet Sitting in Howes Cave

“Having Heidi check-in our our 3 cats gave us a lot of peace of mind while we were away. She went above and beyond to assure that they (and our plants) got the care they needed and we would entrust her to look after our kitties the next time we travel. Heidi is very experienced, friendly and responsible. We definitely recommend her!”

“Sue was available in a pinch over Thanksgiving break, on the holiday itself, to help. Our dogs were happy and taken care of with no issues, we received pictures and texts about their well being and are happy to rebook with Sue first whenever we need to in the future if she’s available! Highly recommend for a no worry, no hassle vacation pet care taker. 10/10 in my book! 📖🐾 ♥️🐈‍⬛”

About: I am new to dog watching but I grew up with dogs and currently have a 6-year old Ori-Pei and a 6-month old Aussie. I work from home, so I will be here for the duration of your pups stay. If I ever need to leave my fiance is here. I will take care of your pet as if they were my own. I understand people need to work or want to go and enjoy a night out without worrying about their pet at home, I’m here to help! I currently work full time from home, so I am able to drop what I’m doing and walk the dog(s) when they’re ready. I take care of my pet everyday for free, I’m sure I will be able to take the best of care of your animal! Tyson and Duke are able to roam freely in the house and is allowed on all couches and beds. But if your dog is taught not to be on furniture than I will adjust to make your fur babies as comfortable as possible. I will also uphold the rules you have for them in your home, please let me know if there is any allergies cause I love to give treats of fresh veggies and little ingredient baked treats.

“Kasey was great! Would leave my girls anytime with her. She kept in contact with us. I definitely will use her services in the future. I felt confident leaving them with her before I left, we communicated quite a bit before our trip. My dogs were happy to see us when we got home, but I can tell they were happy and well cared for when I was not here....Amy Rickard”

“Juliana was a fantastic dog sitter ! She was really prompt with communication, sent pictures of my pets, and overall was incredibly professional. She also let me know when small accidents happened, like when my dog knocked over a houseplant while he was playing or when he chewed on his leash. She was patient and did GREAT with my large, high energy 2 year old poodle. I’m very grateful to have a resource like her nearby and I look forward to hiring her again”

About: I am currently attending SUNY Cobleskill and am in the Animal Science Bachelor of Science program. I'm planning on becoming a vet! I have experience living and working with all types of animals, including dogs, cats, and numerous farm animals. I love to go on long walks and hikes with dogs out in the beauty that surrounds us! I work part time, mostly in the early morning, at a local coffee shop/bakery. I am free most days after 1pm. I am flexible with scheduling. I will not be providing at home services at this time. My services will be located in the community and at the client’s home. I know of many good walks and hikes to take your pet on. I own my car and will be happy to transport the dog if you feel comfortable with that.

“Macy took great care of our giant fur baby! It was our first time away from him, and she helped to keep him happy and even made sure that he had his prescription medicine. We had peace of mind knowing her expertise from her work experience and kindness with animals. She was great with communication, sending pictures and updates. We felt totally comfortable with her caring for our pup and will definitely book with her again in the future.”

About: I have taken care of cats and dogs ever since I was 10 years old and raised them since they were babies. I will treat your fur family as if they were my own. I am currently in school, but I have plenty of time to care for your fur babies! I am available weekdays after 2pm and weekends. I have my own transportation. I am flexible and reliable. I will follow your rules. I will treat your fur family like one of my own!

About: Raised a well trained border collie in high school and recently fostered a puppy that became a service dog through Dogs For Better Lives. We trained it for 14 months to prepare for service training. Typically the professional training takes 4-6 months but our boy graduated in 2.5. I love short, fun training sessions and consistency. I was a solo traveler living the vanlife but am back home helping my folks in Maryland. I love dogs but owning one would radically change my lifestyle. I’m hoping that through Rover I can still have some dog time on the road and take some good boys and girls for adventures outdoors. Primarily I like to do drop-in visit for walks and short training sessions. Once we build a rapport, I’d like to do hikes and overnight adventures.

About: What sets me apart is that I focus on making every dog feel safe, comfortable, and understood. I’m reliable, patient, and attentive to each dog’s personality and routine, whether they’re high-energy puppies or older dogs who need a slower pace and extra care. I’m especially comfortable with: - Puppies and young dogs, including reinforcing basic training like leash manners, potty routines, and positive behavior. - Senior dogs who may need gentler walks, medication reminders, mobility support, or a calmer environment. - Dogs with anxiety or shy temperaments, using patience and positive reinforcement to build trust. - Keeping owners updated with photos, walk summaries, and clear communication so they always know how their pet is doing. I treat every dog like they’re my own and aim to provide dependable care that gives both pets and owners peace of mind. I work part-time from home remotely, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your dogs. Available for dog walking after 3pm. I care for pets by keeping their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible, whether they’re staying in my home or I’m caring for them in a client’s home. I take the time to learn each pet’s schedule, personality, exercise needs, feeding routine, and any special instructions so they feel comfortable and secure. In a client’s home, I make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, fresh water, and companionship while also respecting the owner’s space and routine. I keep litter boxes or outdoor areas clean, monitor pets for any changes in behavior or health, and provide regular updates with photos and messages. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment with plenty of supervision, affection, and structured routines. I make sure pets have comfortable spaces to rest, opportunities for exercise and enrichment, and slow introductions if other pets are present. My priority is always making pets feel safe, cared for, and loved while giving owners peace of mind that their pets are in reliable hands.

“This was my first time using Rover and I was nervous. We have FIVE dogs. Yes FIVE. So it’s a big job for anyone. Lianna was spectacular. She was on time. She sent us pictures. My dogs looked happy and well cared for. I cannot recommend her enough. Anytime we are away we will definitely rebook. She is THE BEST!!!! Definitely FIVE STARS!!!”

About: I’ve owned dogs ever since I was 8, and I’ve always loved and cared for them with no question. I love to feed, walk, bathe, and just hangout with dogs. Can’t wait to meet all of your pups!!! I’m currently a full time online college student that sets her own schedule! I am pretty open and free all day to hangout with pups! I have a large fenced yard and I always bring running shoes because I know some dogs love to play! And some even love to try and make escapes, which is why I’ll always have treats and commands ready!

“Elizabeth performed brilliantly -- she completed all requests without fail and provided plenty of photographic and written responses. She was timely in arranging service initially. And she managed the visits and house key drop-off well. We appreciated her willingness to commit to providing care with short notice. Thanks!”
