I am SO grateful ❤️and look forward to having them watch the kitties when I’m away again. Thank you!!”

About: I specialize in caring for small/medium breed dogs in a peaceful, country home just five minutes outside of Ithaca. With experience ranging from young dogs to seniors, I provide a calm, structured environment where your pet can feel safe and at ease. What sets me apart is my exclusive focus on smaller breeds. As the owner of two small dogs myself (a Chihuahua-Terrier mix and a Pomeranian), I understand their specific needs and personalities. Because I do not take larger dogs, you can rest assured that your small pup will be in a setting designed just for them—without the stress of being around bigger pets. My home is ideal for dogs who do well in a quieter setting and enjoy consistent, attentive care. Whether your dog is older and needs a gentler pace, or simply enjoys a low-key environment, I’m here to provide a safe and loving stay. I work full-time as a remote software engineer, which means I’m home throughout the day and able to provide consistent supervision and companionship. My flexible schedule allows me to take regular breaks for walks, playtime, and one-on-one attention—ensuring your small dog is never left alone for long stretches and always feels cared for. Because I’m home-based and live in a quiet, country setting just outside of Ithaca, I can maintain a calm, structured environment that’s perfect for small breeds who thrive with routine and a peaceful atmosphere. I offer exclusive pet sitting services at my home, ensuring a safe and loving environment for your pet. With a large yard and the companionship of my own two playful dogs—a Chihuahua mix and a Pomeranian —your pet will enjoy playtime, walks, and personalized care. I prioritize their comfort, security, and individual needs, providing a home-away-from-home experience.
“My cat took to Dan right away, even though she’s typically wary of men! Dan is punctual, professional, and very communicative. He took great care of my cat and home.”
“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”
“Dina is a trusted cat sitter and truly loves and takes care of our cat in our home! If you want peace of mind, you will not go wrong with Dina!”
“Rachel was great at communicating and has a clear love for the animals she takes care of. She sent great pics and updates and I felt very confident and comfortable having her in my home and taking care of my animals.”
“Rachel was the best cat sitter we could have hoped for. She communicated constantly, sent pictures, answered our questions, and remained attentive throughout her stay in our home. Our cats, who are normally very shy of strangers, quickly warmed up to her with snuggles - a very unprecedented thing! Feeling that sense of trust and security for our animals made our trip that much more enjoyable, knowing we did not have to worry at all about how our cats were doing. We cannot recommend her enough!”
About: I have grown up with cats and adopted two dogs six years ago. Both came minimally trained so I have been working with them and learning so much about adjusting to needs for specific personalities. I am currently working part time while applying to vet school so I am very flexible schedule wise! I would prefer mornings and afternoons with less evening and night strolls. My dogs have a fenced in yard and a dog door so they can go in and out whenever based on their own needs. In other homes learning where all the pets needs are is helpful so that I can provide them the best care possible!
About: I've had dogs for as long as I can remember, both large and small. I've been routinely walking a 100 pound great Pyrenees since I was a pre teen, so I know how to handle a large barking dog (and I'm not even bothered by barking any more!). I also have a lot of energy, so I'm happy to play as much as possible with any sort of dog. I'm also currently missing my own two dogs at home, so you can be sure that your dogs would get plenty of love and attention if I'm taking care of them. I'm a college student so my schedule is fairly open, aside from when I have class. I'm also available consistently on the weekends, so it wouldn't be an issue to perform frequent check ins. I'm happy to answer any specific inquiries about my weekly availability as well. I am comfortable using whatever mode of security you want, and will be sure to supervise your pets carefully if we're outside. I'm comfortable giving medicine to animals, as I've had some experience with my own cat (who had diabetes) and other foster kittens who needed eye drops, or medication given through pipettes.
“Madison took great care of our pup. We needed someone to take Hallie for a walk and spend some time with her at the house during the day. She was careful with our directions and meeting Hallie's specific dietary needs and provided regular updates with photos. We highly recommend Madison!”
“Claudia and her brother were so incredibly kind with my two cats. She provided regular if not daily updates and pictures. I feel very lucky to have found someone as caring and competent as Claudia! I would highly recommend her to everyone. Thank you so very much!”
About: I grew up in a house with dogs, and have been taking care of them since I was about 10. Friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and care for there animals while away ! As I said In my bio, I am a college athlete so I do have practice during the week and traveling during weekends. Although my class schedule is flexible and I do have a reliable car :) time spend with the animal, walking and exercise is super important to me. I will do everything in my power to give your animal all the love and attention it needs
