About: I am very intuitive to what animals needs are. I’m patient and pets safety is my top priority! Comforting animals is a blessing that I can’t get enough of! My hours are a bit flexible but I am mainly have a lot of free time on Mondays & Fridays from 2-7. Saturdays and Sundays I am completely available. First off, I always read the directions multiple times. Make sure their food and leashes are easy to find. Then I always check the backyard before letting a dog out. I want to be sure there are no gaps in the fences or any other large wildlife they may want to chase. If in case of emergency, I would love to know what veterinary practice is used and emergency contacts if I’m not able to make direct contact.
“Diana stayed overnight with our two dogs for two nights. She stayed inour home, Both dogs were happy and content when we arrived home. She gave us several photos and updates throughout the two days. This included text and pictures. We are very happy with the care the dogs received. She walked and cuddled them and allowed them to sleep with her. Most importantly she asked questions when unsure. Thank-you, Diana.”
About: I run my own small business so I am flexible. I have 2 Russian blue cats at the moment, but I have always had black labs in the past. I love animals of all kinds. I run a small business, so I make my own schedule. I would work around any pet sits that I have scheduled and I’m fairly flexible. I would listen to the needs of each client as each pet comes with their own requirements. I do not live in a place that caters to boarding, so I am only offering pet sitting in the client’s home.
About: I have taken care of numerous pets for family and friends, including dogs, cats, birds, fish, ferretsand even hermit crabs! Along side this my family has owned dogs since I was 2 years old, and I've done my pest to train and care all of them. I am a part-time worker along with a seasonal school photographer so I have plenty of spare time to help care for your pet's needs! I believe it is beat to care for a pet in their own space. Having their family leave can be stressful enough so I believe it is important to help them feel both safe and cared for.
“Taryn was great with my two pups. I had to leave town on a few days notice and she had no problem with that. My dogs really seemed to like her. She was great with communication and kept me updated the whole time. I would recommend her to anyone and will be using her again in the future!”
“Dana is extremely reliable! We recently moved out of town and she was still willing to occasionally come out and watch our boys. It means a lot to us to have a consistent sitter for the dogs when we are away!”
About: have extensive experience in pet care, having had many pets over the years. My journey includes rescuing, fostering, and rehoming animals, which has allowed me to develop a deep understanding of animal behavior and care needs.

I pride myself on my patience, compassion, and unwavering love for animals, which I believe are essential qualities for providing the best care possible.

I make sure to devote my evenings and weekends to providing the care and attention that animals deserve. My special bond with animals allows me to connect with them on a deeper level, ensuring they receive the emotional and physical support they need. I understand how important pets are to their owners, and I treat each pet with the utmost care, creating a safe, loving environment where they can thrive. Whether it’s through walks, playtime, or simply being present, I appreciate the opportunity to spend my free time helping animals feel loved and secure. I have years of experience offering in-home pet care, which allows me to create a safe and comfortable environment for each pet in the comfort of their own home.

“Madison was amazing. She was punctual and communicated with me regularly. She took very good care of my 14 week old puppy. He is a rambunctious puppy but Madison was patient and calm. I highly recommend Madison to take care of your pets.”
About: I have cared for my own dog for the past 13 years and sadly he died in February 2025. I walked him around my neighborhood consistently for all those years and now having that routine gone is difficult. Before having him as my own, I also helped take care of my families dog for several years. I am experienced in caring for dogs of all ages and demeanors and all sizes too :) I am attending SUNY Cortland right now and that is the only large barrier in my weekly schedule. I can care and/or walk dogs after 7pm on Monday and Wednesdays. I am available after 4pm on Tuesday and Thursday. Friday and Saturday I can provide care all day with a days notice. Without notice I will most likely be working on Friday and therefore not available until after 4pm that day. I can house-sit on Fridays and Saturdays and into Sunday afternoon as well! I will maintain a safe and calm environment for your pet while caring for them and allow them to initiate any desired games or actions. I am willing to accommodate however you prefer for your dog when caring for them, just let me know of anything necessary :) Any questions or concerns for your dog's care are welcomed and appreciated as I prefer a heads up in advance of anything unusual or to keep an eye out/for. Thanks :)

About: I’ve loved dogs since I saw my first one. Caring for animals is one of my favorite things to do. I want to make sure they are so comfortable, it’s like you never left. My partner Rebecca is, naturally, every animal’s best friend. She brings a calming vibe to the space that is hard to achieve for everybody. I am 18 years old and a full time high school student meaning I will be available any time from Friday night - Sunday evening. We have a very carefully crafted schedule for all of our pets at home. Making the dog feel comfortable and cared for is my biggest priority.
About: Iv taken care of many different types of cats and dogs since I was 10. I worked at Petsmart while in college as a dog bather.

“I can’t say enough good things about Gretchen as a pet sitter. She’s watched my dog, Lily several times now, and every single time I leave my pup in her care, I feel completely at ease. Lily can be a bit shy with new people, but she warmed up to Gretchen right away.

Pat has watched dogs many times over the years for family members and neighbors who needed his help. He will play with, walk, and keep your dog company. I’m sure your dog will love staying with Pat.”
