About: Hi! My name is Mia, and I’m a freshman at Ithaca College. I grew up in Cambridge, Massachusetts, where I was always surrounded by animals. Back home I have one dog, Nellie (a sweet little beagle mix), and two tuxedo cats, Cosmo and Peanut. Since I’m missing my own pets while I’m away at school, I’d love the chance to spend time with yours, whether that means a walk, playtime, or just some extra love and attention. My schedule is pretty flexible but a little different from the hours listed here, so feel free to message me and see if I’m around. I also have a car on campus, so getting to you is easy. I have the most experience with cats and small to medium-sized dogs, but I grew up with a larger dog until I was about 10, so I’m comfortable with pups of all sizes. I try to cater to each animals needs and make them feel as comfortable as possible! I’m also happy to help with feeding, giving meds, cleaning litter boxes, and following any special instructions carefully. I know how much it helps to get updates when you’re away, so I’ll make sure you know your pet is safe, happy, and loved. Can’t wait to meet you and your furry friends! 🫶🐾 My schedule this semester is very relaxed. I end classes around 3 on Monday and Tuesday, and around 4 on Wednesdays and Thursdays. My Fridays and weekends are extremely flexible, so I can stop by at pretty much any time of day. When I care for pets, their safety and comfort always come first. I follow any instructions closely, make sure leashes and doors are secure, and give plenty of love and attention. I’m respectful of your home and will leave things just as I found them. My goal is to make sure your pets feel comfortable and cared for. I’ll also send updates and photos so you know your pet is happy and safe while you’re away.

“John was very reliable and communicated well after each visit. He even made his way to our house during a snowstorm with roads being challenging.”

About: I've cared for dogs of different sizes over the years and I love to cuddle, walk, and pamper pups. We have a fenced in back yard and I like to take long walks with dogs if they're up for it. We have a 4 year old boxer/hound mix who is sweet with people but not great with other dogs. We keep him away from guest dogs, there's lots of room in the house for each dog to have their own space and still get lots of love from me and the family. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. I take breaks through the day to care for puppies, whether that's a quick potty break, fun walk, or play time with balls and toys. When boarding, I make sure pups get any meds they need, plenty of time outside, and snuggles on the couch (if they're the snuggling type). I know some dogs need longer or shorter walks, and I make adjustments based on what they need.

“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!”

“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!”

Nicole W.

“Nadia is an asset to Rover and our local community! This was our first time booking a service and we were a little nervous leaving our cats for a week for the first time but Nadia is amazing. Communicated well, responded fast and made sure our girls were fed, had water and clean litter boxes. We’ll definitely book Nadia again!!!”

About: I’ve been fostering dogs of all ages since 2023, including a few that I personally rescued and helped place into forever homes. I have hands-on experience working with fearful and anxious dogs. My own rescue dog transformed from being terrified of people to earning his Canine Good Citizen certification as well as completing advanced trick training classes. I would love to meet your dog and help them feel safe at home while you’re away. For cats: Dogs are my specialty, but I'm happy to care for cats too. I can provide feeding and litter box cleaning. My schedule is flexible throughout the week, including weekends. I would appreciate advance notice so I can coordinate arrangements for the care of my own dogs. I respect my client's homes and keep their pet's normal routines to help them feel stress-free. I also send regular updates with photos.

“Anneke really tried with my (unfortunately) high anxiety pup. She went above and beyond what I was expecting!”

“Dina is amazing! From the meet and greet we knew that our dogs and cat would be in the best of hands. Knowing that Dina was taking care of our pets really allowed us to enjoy our time away and her detailed reports and photos were so welcome and reassuring. Our dogs were so relaxed and happy to see Dina and even our normally, standoffish cat enjoyed Dina's visits. We would highly recommend Dina to anyone that needs help with their pets!”
