House Sitting in Ithaca

“Shayla is a true animal lover and we were more than happy to have chose her to watch our pets(: She sent us pictures daily and the animals were obviously well taken care of when we arrived back home from vacay. I would definitely recommend her and I would very likely hire her again if possible.”

About: Ever since being a young little girl, I have cared for dogs and they have a special place in my heart. I grew up with a yellow lab and took great care of her. As an adult I am the go-to pet sitter for my family and friends. I have watched small family farm taking care of goats, horses, dogs, and outdoor cats too. I have more experience with mid to older dogs than puppies, but I have also helped take care of puppies too. I am currently searching for a full-time position; therefore, I have flexibility for during the day for potty breaks or walks, evening care, and overnight stay at your house. I am unfortunately renting currently and have a no pet policy so I cannot board at this time. Your pet is to be treated like my own. I follow the owners lead but I love playtime, indoor or outdoor, walks by leash and harness, and cuddles and loves. I only give treats if that is what the household wants. I wish to keep the routine as similar to what the animal is used to.

“Kumar was amazing. Very young and took a huge responsibility of watching my babies for an emergency trip to Texas. He came even though I did not have a long time for the trip. Watched and took care of my art babies! Very much worth going on rover for. I could have kenneled them but they have anxiety. Boi, had the worst anxiety and constantly whines. But he had no issues and that gave me peace of mind and soul! If we ever need to go anywhere, he will be the first person I call thru rover! Thank you!”

“Cindy did a fabulous job with Pearl! Pearl willingly sat on her lap and snuggled with her - which if you know Pearl - you know that she only really does that with my husband and I. It was a great feeling to be able to go on vacation and not have a single worry about Pearl. Cindy sent regular pictures which we appreciated. We would hire Cindy again in a heartbeat! Thank you soooooooooo much Cindy for the excellent care of Pearl!”

“Alyssa is truly amazing!!! We are on a mini vacation and due to anxiety issues with one of our two dogs, we were unable to leave our room due to this. Alyssa stepped up to the plate last minute and saved the day. Our dogs instantly fell in love with her. We will without a doubt be using her again.”

About: I use to work for my grandmother who would raise dogs, take care of them, and then give someone a dog. I would clean up after dogs in all ways. Take care of the puppies with the moms. I would bathe all the dogs and get them groomed up to go to their new home! I am available after 4:30 P.M. Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. After 3:30 P.M. on Wednesdays. And available most times and nights on the weekends! At this moment in time I do not have the ability or place to actually house sit at my home but, I can come to you!

About: What sets me apart is my deep, lifelong connection with animals. I’ve raised cats and dogs in my home for over 15 years, giving me real-world experience that goes beyond basic pet care. I understand their needs, personalities, and how to make them feel safe and loved. I treat every pet like family, offering reliable, personalized care that gives pet parents true peace of mind. Pet care fits naturally into my daily life—I’m home often, with a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets consistent attention, care, and companionship. I’ve raised animals in my home for over 15 years, so caring for pets is part of my routine. Whether it’s feeding, walking, playing, or just quiet company, I truly enjoy every moment spent with animals. Pet care isn’t a chore for me—it’s something I love and make time for every day. I care for animals in my home as if they were my own—providing a safe, calm, and loving environment where they feel comfortable and secure. Whether it’s my home or the client’s, I focus on creating a routine that meets each pet’s unique needs—feeding, playtime, walks, or just companionship. With years of hands-on experience, I know how to make pets feel at ease, even in new surroundings. Their happiness and well-being are always my top priority.

“Kelsey was wonderful with our pets. Followed our instructions to a T, and we came home after the holidays to happy pets! Would definitely use again!”

About: At an early age, I started walking the neighborhood dogs. I’ve always loved animals, and treat them as my own. Friends and family often rely on me to watch their pets and take them out when needed. I’m very attentive and will treat every animal with the kindness they deserve. I work from home three days a week, and have the weekends off. I have a pretty flexible schedule and can take my work with me anywhere I go. Caring for your pets in your home will be my main priority. I will make sure they are well taken care of, loved, and feel safe.

“Cindy was fantastic! She went above and beyond to make sure our fur baby felt comfortable while we were away. She was professional, punctual and made us feel 100% at ease while we were away. Highly recommended ❤️”

About: I've taken care of several types of species since the age of 10! I treat every animal as my own. I want to keep them happy & healthy while sticking with there daily routine. I am currently unemployed so my schedule is completely open! I am very flexible! I will make my schedule fit yours! Willing to travel. ! My goal is keep to create a special bond.

About: Hello, my name is Alana and I am so glad you have considered me to watch your fur baby! For over a decade I have taken care of almost every animal under the sun including dogs, cats, rabbits, goats, chickens, cows, and so many more! What sets me aside from others is my love for all animals, and my dedication to ensuring their needs are met. Currently, I attend Saginaw Valley and am slowly earning my bachelors degree in social work. I also work within the public school system with individuals with disabilities. My schedule works perfectly for individuals looking for drop in’s every 6-8 hours or if you are looking for an overnight sitter. If your pet requires more frequent visits, I would suggest contacting a sitter who can accommodate this. When taking care of your fur babies, their safety and mine is always my number one priority. In order to maintain a safe environment, I suggest that we schedule a meet and greet before the day of the service request. This way your pet will know me, easing some tension when you are gone. Furthermore, when in your home I ensure that I remain calm and follow directions as laid out by you in order to fulfill your pets needs.

“We have used Cher a couple times to watch and feed our dog and she has been great to work with. I appreciate that she sent pictures of our dog Max and kept us in the loop of how he is doing. As long as she is available we will continue to have her help us. Thank you!”

About: What sets me apart as a sitter is my hands-on experience and deep, personal connection with dogs of all ages. With over three years of experience, I’ve been trusted by clients and family alike to care for their pets—whether it’s energetic puppies needing structure and training, or senior dogs who require patience and gentle attention. I’ve trained my own dogs from puppyhood, so I understand the importance of consistency, communication, and care. I treat every dog like family, making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine—it’s something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize. Whether it’s feeding, walking, cleaning, or just spending quality time with animals, I make space for it consistently. I’m already used to structuring my days around the needs of pets, from early morning potty breaks to evening playtime or check-ins. Being flexible and dependable allows me to give each pet the attention they deserve, and I take pride in making their care a regular, reliable part of my week. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I focus on creating a calm, safe, and familiar environment tailored to each pet’s needs. In my home, I maintain a clean, pet-friendly space with a consistent routine for feeding, walks, play, and rest—just like I do for my own pets. When I’m in a client’s home, I respect their routines and preferences, making sure their pets stay comfortable with minimal disruption. I follow all instructions carefully, keep the space clean (including litter boxes, food areas, and floors), and always make sure pets feel loved, secure, and well-cared-for while you’re away.

“Did excellent going out of the way through out the day to check on the cats for a few hours! Kept up with communication and sent many pictures and videos that we really appreciated!”

About: I have grown up living with and caring for animals. I have taken care of animals at all life stages from young puppies/kittens to senior dogs/cats. I have administered medicine and have attention for details and care with specific pet needs. I am patient and am willing to work with most any pet! I currently have 3 cats who are my babies. I've worked with small dogs and frequently handle dogs up to 100lbs. I love the outdoors and making sure your family members have the best care possible while you are away! I would love to get to know your pets! I'm currently incredibly flexible with my schedule. As long as I have adequate notice I will be available most any day! I am used to caring for pets all day everyday. I can am willing to accommodate whatever care your pet needs to be comfortable, safe and cared for why you are away. I treasure animals like family and I can assure that they will be well looked after.

About: I have been taking care of my family’s and friends dogs since I was in high school. I have stayed over at houses dog sitting or even just stopped by to let their dogs out. I am currently working full time during the week but I may have time after work some days. I am free on the weekends. I have a dog and am out walking him on the weekends. I have a huge back yard and I am in a great spot for long walks on the trails. Greenville has many trails. I am also flexible to come to you.

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Ashley was absolutely amazing! She kept us updated every day with photos and messages, letting us know exactly how our pets were doing and when they were fed. She sent the sweetest, cuddliest pictures that truly put our minds at ease while we were away. Our home was left spotless — honestly, it looked like no one had even stayed here. Her communication was exceptional from start to finish, and we felt completely confident knowing our pets were in such great hands. We will absolutely be using Ashley again. She’s officially our go-to sitter, and we couldn’t recommend her more highly!”

About: I’m the kind of person who gets excited every time I see a dog and I’ve been caring for them most of my life! I’ve had my own pups and have been dog sitting for family and friends since 8th grade. Every dog I meet gets the love, attention, and snuggles they deserve. I currently work 2 part time jobs. Caring for your furry friend, on their schedule, will fit perfectly into my schedule! I have a rotating nights schedule so I have every other weekend off with only 2 nights during the week! In my home, my animals are treated like family, I’d love to do the same for yours! I am great at following their schedule and listening to their needs because I believe they deserve care like you never left!
