Cat Sitting in Ithaca

“We'd give more stars if we could! Emily is an awesome communicator and did an incredible job with our elderly, attitude-filled boxer and our orange cat. We had a last minute situation where we needed an extra drop in while we were out of town and Emily stepped in with no hesitation and saved the day. We will absolutely be booking again!”

“Estafania was great, punctual, super responsive, and kept things very orderly in the house. The cats clearly had a great time. Big recommend!”

“We were very glad to leave our cats in Kaylee’s excellent care. Would definitely recommend her & will not hesitate to have her come back for drop-in visits again.”

“Anika did a great job taking care of my cat Bennie! She left detailed updates and sent lots of photos! My cat Bennie was very well taken care of and happy when I returned!”

“Graeme was awesome! He followed directions, asked questions if he needed any help, sent pictures of my dogs, which was nice since I missed him. Bear loves when he comes to visit!”

“Casper was absolutely wonderful! She communicated with me after each visit, sent pictures, cleaned up messes, and was sensitive to my cat's particular needs. I appreciated her sense of humor and her approachable personality. I would definitely recommend her and plan to book her services again in the future!”

“Andrea is always reliable. We have used her multiple times for quick trips, and love that she sends us photos each time she drops in.”

“Daniela was great with our kitties 😊”

“Caroline did a great job checking in on my cat daily as requested. She understood and did exactly what I wanted her to do for my cat and then communicated everything to me. I was reassured that my cat was being cared for very well which meant a lot to me. 🙏🏼 Caroline”

“Steven is an exceptional pet caregiver! He's responsible, attentive, and genuinely loves animals. My dogs are always happy and well-cared for after a stay with him. Highly recommend!”

“Michelle was AMAZING with my senior cat while I was out of the country for two weeks! My cat had some recent health problems that required medication administration and dealing with potential incorrect litter box use but Michelle was on top of it! She gave me peace of mind while away and sent the best pictures and updates! I highly recommend Michelle to any cat parent!”

About: *Please ask about any dates! I work full time, but many evenings are free for drop-ins or a walk/play time!* I have taken care of animals beginning with my parents' help when I was 8 years old. I helped care for neighbors and friends' pets while on vacation and often volunteered to exercise my furry friends or grab a canine snuggle after school. I have helped assist in the training process for puppies and given medications to all ages of dogs. I love all breeds and have experience will many sized dogs. Most notable breeds - Yorkshire Terrier, Dachshund, Pomeranian, Schnauzer, Beagle, Bulldog, various Poodle mixes, Labrador, Golden Retriever, Australian Shepherd, Dalmatian, Boxer, Norwegian Elkhound, Greyhound, Pit Bull, Rottweiler, German Shepherd, Newfoundland, Great Dane, Mastiff and many mix breed love bugs. I have experience caring for all kinds of cats, from social and friendly to shy and sassy. I have had several fancy bear hamsters of my own and would love to help with your favorite rodent or hedgehog. I grew up caring for fresh and brackish water fish and understand the basic care of water and amphibian critters. There are very few animals that I would not consider caring for so please ask if you have a seemingly "unusual pet". I am happy to learn about your animal, how to best love them, and care for all their needs while you are away! I am currently working full time, but have a fluctuating schedule. Please ask if you have an extended stay and your furry friend can be left alone at night. I am happy to play with and walk your companion or sit and provide extra pets as needed. I will always be respectful of your wishes and promise to keep your home and your animal(s)' safety as my top priority.

“Rucha & Ethan did a wonderful job caring for my two needy cats over thanksgiving! I had a worry-free trip because they were so communicative, and my cats really loved them. I have one cat that gets very very stressed out when I’m away, and he showed zero signs of stress (diarrhea/ vomit/ hiding)! I am SO grateful ❤️and look forward to having them watch the kitties when I’m away again. Thank you!!”

“Thank you Lauren! I know that you took good care of my rambunctious girls! So good to meet you! You obviously love pets and I will definitely be calling on you in the future!!!”

“Shakti did a great job while taking care of our two cats ? we could tell how invested they were on the cats’ wellbeing and how much they cared for animals in general. Shakti made sure to ask us any questions or issues that came up in order to keep the cats well cared for. We also came home to two very happy and relaxed cats!”

“Pedro did a great job taking care of my cat Shadow. She loves being patted and he did that a lot so she got a lot of attention. He recorded his daily visit with pictures. He was very reliable and made me feel relaxed in my vacation. I am already hiring him again for my next trip.”

“Desoni is a smart, hard working and a caring person. She keeps her commitments and makes sure the work she does is high quality. Desoni is a loving and caring cat mom, and will show that same level of compassion for animals in her care.”

“Linnea is a very reliable petsitter who looked after my cat multiple times while we were living in the same city. She has a great way with animals and makes sure they have everything they need while they're in her care. I had absolutely no qualms with leaving my cat in her care and could always be sure I'd come home to a content and well cared-for kitty. I would absolutely ask her to petsit again if she lived closer.”

“Emily is a passionate and knowledgeable animal lover with over fifteen years of experience with animal care. Her dedication is evident through her volunteer history at animal shelters, as well as through her experiences with fostering kittens and taking care of senior dogs.”

“Sarah has watched my cat on multiple occasions and continues to make amazing progress in developing a relationship with my very shy and occasionally skittish cat. She always provides thoughtful notes and observations after her visits. I'm so happy to have Sarah as a part of my care team!”
