Dog Sitting in Jamesville

About: My journey in animal care began in 2017 as a kennel technician, and over the past 8 years, I’ve grown into a skilled veterinary assistant with extensive experience caring for dogs, cats and exotic pets of all breeds and temperaments. When I go home, I hug my 2 cats and 2 dogs after a long days work. I also have owned a hedgehog who is now in heaven, and I had the pleasure of growing with and caring for my childhood dog who is also in heaven with my hedgie. From daily walks and enrichment to assisting in exams and treatments, I’ve had the privilege of supporting our furry friends through every stage of life. I’m trained in administering medications—whether it’s a pill, injection, or special diet—and I always prioritize comfort, safety, and trust. Whether your fur baby is playful, shy, or needs a little extra TLC, I bring patience, experience, and a whole lot of love to every visit. I work weekdays 7a-3p, so I am available M-F after 3-3:30p. Saturdays and Sundays I am usually away. I can answer any questions on availability and openings for walks and drop ins! I fully acknowledge that I am entering into your home and that alone is the biggest reason I go above and beyond on building trust with you and fur babies. Safety is my highest priority — I want everyone to feel safe before I ever step foot into your home. I require a meet and greet to start the process; this is to make sure your pet(s) get familiarized with my presence, then I assess compatibility after 1-2 bookings. If I’m concerned about temperament, we will next steps and gauge whether or not we can move forward with future bookings. There are times when pets display signs of stress or protective/territorial behaviors when a stranger enters their home, especially if it’s for the first time. While I’m comfortable caring for an array of temperaments, the last thing I want is your pet to be stressed and unhappy. I am transparent about this process upfront as I prioritize safety for all parties. Upon meeting you and your pet for the first time, I will ask you (many) questions and write all information provided down and go over everything with you before ending the meet and greet session. This will include questions regarding specialized care, diet, temperament, etc. I will also ask for an emergency contact and veterinarian information in the case there is an emergency while you’re not home. For all of my services I make sure to accurately follow all instructions provided with consistent text and picture updates. I NEVER touch anything in your home besides pet-related items disclosed at our meet and greet unless I have permission. After services are completed, I refill all food/water bowls, put back all pet related items such as food and toys where they belong, tidy up if permitted, and give your pets some extra TLC before leaving!

“Deborah went above and beyond taking care of my animals! Sent a lot of pictures and videos and played with my dogs a bunch outside. She even got my mail while we were gone. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter!”

About: I've never been without a pet--my family has had Labs and Goldens since before I was born, so I was raised taking care of and training dogs of all ages and personalities. I understand how important it is to find a trustworthy person to look after your pet, so please don't hesitate to ask me anything that will help you and your fur babies feel more comfortable :) I work part-time 3 days a week, so I have plenty of spare time to visit and walk your pets! My schedule is flexible, so if you ever need to make an adjustment, just let me know! I've taken care of pets with a wide range of personalities, so I understand that different pets need different types of care. You know what's best for your pet, so let me know how you do things and I will do my best to keep things consistent, familiar, and comfortable for your dogs!

About: I’m not just a pet sitter — I’m a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience that goes beyond the basics. I’ve volunteered at a local dog rescue, fostered dogs in need of extra love and care, and have looked after beloved pets for friends and family for years. What truly sets me apart is the level of compassion and experience I bring. Whether it’s a high-energy pup, a laidback senior dog, or even a small pet like a hamster or guinea pig, I take the time to understand and care for each animal as if they were my own. You can trust that your pet — no matter how big, small, or quirky — will be safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Caring for animals is already part of my daily routine. I have a guinea pig named Chewy, and making sure he’s happy, clean, and well-fed is just part of my day. I also help care for our family dog, Pierre, whether it’s taking him for a walk after work or helping my parents with him during the day. Because of this, I’m already in the rhythm of daily pet care—from feeding schedules and exercise to playtime and attention. I don’t just make time for animals—I naturally build my day around them. When caring for pets in your home, I always treat the space with the same respect I would want in my own. I follow your rules closely, pay attention to routines, and make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable in their familiar environment. I’m a rule-reader, not a rule-bender—whether it’s specific feeding instructions, leash preferences, crate routines, or off-limit areas, I make sure to stick to your expectations. Your home is your pet’s safe space, and I’m there to keep it that way.n

About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs, including feeding, providing fresh water, and ensuring they get regular exercise through walks. I have looked after my friends dog on multiple occasions, taking responsibility for their daily needs and giving them plenty of attention, playtime, and affection. I’m actively looking to walk dogs as I enjoy walking them during the evening time. I’m a teacher so during school year, lm available 3 pm and onwards I am only offering dog walking service since I live in an apartment, it will be very difficult to take care of the dog here.

“Anne is the best! She took great care of my cats while I was on a week long vacation and I felt at ease the whole time knowing they were in great hands. Anne was great at keeping me updated with how they were doing, she’s very detailed oriented, always sends lots of pictures, which I love, and went above above and beyond. I can also tell that my cats love when she’s around by how happy and excited they looked. I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy petsitter.”

“Katherine was great with Poppy! It was so nice to find someone that would work with our schedule and come twice a day while I was at work. She made sure to take good care of Poppy and was very good at communication. We will definitely be using her again!”

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.

“5 stars! Chelsea watched my guinea pigs while I was away for a week and was amazing. She sent me adorable pics of them every day and even made their enclosures extra cute and cozy. Super reliable and clearly put a lot of care into everything. I came home to relaxed, happy piggies! I couldn’t have asked for better!💕🐹”

“Christopher was very professional. He took great care of my Kitty. He communicated with me regularly with updates , questions and photos. He did a great job. He played with her and gave her lots of attention.”

About: I know how hard it can be to find reliable and trustworthy pet care. I will always be intentional with the care I provide and will never hesitate to go above and beyond as I would want for my pets. I work Monday through Wednesday from 9 am to 5 pm. I am fully available all other days and am happy to stay at your house on the days I go to work as well. I have a large fenced in yard that is empty minus a secured shed. We also have a mostly empty dining room for extra space and we allow all pets on all furniture.

“Morgan is excellent goes above and beyond. My young puppy Bernese is obsessed with her.”

About: I've been taking care of animals since 7th grade. My family had their own dog and I used to care for animals around the neighborhood including cats and other animals. I take care of my former co workers dogs and my dad's dog. I'm a very active person, so I love to play outside and go for walks. I work as a teaching assistant full time and school gets out at 2:15 so I have plenty of time in the afternoon most days and could always take time off if needed for a long weekend. Plus school breaks I have plenty of time. I live in an apartment that has small dog parks outside. I'm very comfortable with letting dogs out in fenced in areas and taking them on leash for walks.

About: I’m a Division I athlete at Syracuse University, so I’m dependable, great with time management, and committed to doing things right. I’ve also worked over two years at a retirement home (Friendship Village of Dublin), which gave me strong experience in senior care—something I apply when working with older dogs too. I’ve done overnight dog sitting and know how to follow routines, keep pets comfortable, and treat them like family. I also have my own rescue dog, Becky, a feisty Wheaton Terrier we’ve had for five years. I walk her daily and help care for her, so I truly understand what pets need to feel safe and loved. I have a car, a super flexible schedule (days, nights, weekends), and I’m always happy to help. I’ll care for your pup like they’re my own! Pet care fits perfectly into my routine! I work part-time as a lifeguard, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of free time during the day and week. Whether it’s early morning walks, mid-day check-ins, or evening visits, I’m able to plan my schedule around your pet’s needs. I love staying active and being outside, so spending time with dogs throughout the day fits right into my lifestyle. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routine closely like feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. I keep your pet comfortable, your home clean, and provide plenty of love and attention. Whether it’s daily visits or overnight stays, I make sure your pet feels safe and you stay updated while you’re away.

About: I have two pups! They are both Mini Irish Doodles (Irish Setter/Poodle) and the LOVE other dogs. My boyfriend and I both work from home so we are the perfect place for your pups to be during the day during the week! We are constantly dog sitting for our friends & family and they all love running around in our fully fenced backyard! My boyfriend & I both work full time from home. We are constantly watching our pups during the day, letting them play outside for most of the day! We have a fenced in backyard where our puppies run around often throughout the day. We let our dogs sleep in our bed, which your dog can also do or sleep in a dog bed! Our dogs graze all day, but if your dog needs to be fed at certain times instead, we will make sure food is not left out all day! Whatever you and your dog need, we can gladly accommodate!

About: No dog deserves the kennel! Why settle for the pound when they can spend a night in a home with an owner-on-loan; either in your house on in a house that has raised two other pets from puppyhood to old age? Admittedly, there are stairs and hardwood floors in my house, but I have bought several carpets for my old dog to move around on and can lay them down for your dog’s convenience. We also have a big backyard that your dog will love to run around in (and no predators, unless you count woodchucks and geese) and a long leash that can go all the way to the end of the property line. I love dogs and after a day with me, your furry friend will mistake me for his mother. I’m most busy Wednesdays-Thursdays, so I marked them out on the calendar, but if petsitting is required for several days, that is easy to accommodate! I also don’t mind waking up every few hours to take a dog out—I have not quite reached the age where sleep is important. I won’t allow your dog to roam around outside unleashed (sorry, but I don’t want to lose them!), but when they’re outside, I’ll make sure they have the freedom to run around to their heart’s content. Additionally, I’m willing to walk them in any weather they’ll put up with and even let them sleep on the couch/spare bed, if they’re not too dirty.

About: I've been a pet parent since my teens, from Dixies to Bernese! Would love to bring your dog with me on my walks/runs. I have a large fenced in yard for roaming and single floor home. I am available for boarding for weekends or full week. I do work 4-10s M-Th so would be better suited for older dogs if during the week. I am home Fri -sun for more attention on weekends. I have no kids and single floor home if those are restrictions for your pet. There is room inside for a crate if needed. The large back yard is fully fenced in and great for fetch. I do walk/run regularly and would love for your pet to join me if they are up to it.

About: I’ve been a dog parent for over 5 years and understand how important it is to meet each dog where they’re at, whether that means slow walks, playtime, or just quiet companionship. I’m a collegiate runner who’s happy to go at any pace your dog prefers, and I’m always attentive to their mood and needs. I’ve cared for puppies, seniors, and shy dogs, and I pride myself on being gentle, patient, and detail-oriented with every pup I meet. I run in the mornings, but outside of that I’m flexible and available day or night to care for your dog. Whether it’s a midday walk, an evening check-in, or overnight care, I’m happy to adjust to your dog’s routine. Pet care fits naturally into my daily life, I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs and making sure they feel safe and happy while you're away. I treat every dog with the same level of care and attention I give my own. Whether I’m in your home or they’re with me, I keep the environment calm, clean, and tailored to their needs, always respecting their space, routines, and personalities. I pay close attention to details like feeding instructions, leash safety, and how they respond to new surroundings. My goal is to make your pup feel comfortable, secure, and loved while you’re away.
