“Bailey is super friendly and flexible. My dog got comfortable with her very quickly and even my introverted cat liked to say hi when Bailey stopped by. Looking forward to using Bailey again for dog walking.”


“Anika is a wonderful dog walker. My 9 month old miniature poodle Russet, who just joined our family, and who is scared of meeting new people, quickly got to know Anika, thanks to her calm demeanor and skills around skittish dogs. Anika came reliably and communicates with us regularly. It was a stressful first week with a puppy for me, trying to manage the puppy’s needs while also working full time. Anika made this week happen for me. I felt Russet was getting the care he needed mid-day when Anika took him for a walk and I was able to focus on my work with a untroubled heart over leaving a puppy home for an extended period of time.”


“Graeme is amazing. We needed help with a last minute dog walk and he responded right away. Our dog and cat seem to really like him. We trust him completely with our pets.”


“Dina is THE best!!! It was so nice knowing that Chance would be taken care of and loved on. I love the sweet photos of them together. Great communication and overall a lovely human being ❤️ so glad I found her”


“My dog spent very good time with Rachel. Rachel is the best dog walker I have ever met. She visited us before we leave and try to learn as much as possible about our dog. She kept us updated about Brownie’s status and always kept an eye on Brownie’s water bowl after every walk. I definitely will come back to Rachel again next time.”


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.

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.

“Kait is awesome!! I am a teacher and she is always available when I have to stay after for work to walk Rue. She noticed she had goopy eyes and gave her a warm compress as well as took awesome photos! I don’t trust many with my fur baby; but I highly recommend Kait!! Thank you!!”


About: I’ve loved dogs ever since I was a child and I finally convinced my parents to rescue one a few years ago! I’ve been the sole caretaker of him since he joined our family and I’ve taken him through the process of crate training, basic commands, recall and potty training! My dog Mav is my best friend and my pride and joy so I would love to take care of yours just the same! I’m currently home from college in Boston and am looking for some part time dog walking and care. I am available all day on most weekdays and I am available on weekends at any time. I have a fenced yard with one dog that sleeps in an outside house. I am also used to crating dogs so I can fit the needs of your household!

About: I am a previous kennel employee with veterinary assistant experience who will treat your pets like my own! I am currently a student at Cornell University studying animal science with the goal of becoming a veterinarian. I have experience walking, feeding, and handling all different kinds of dogs and cats. I am also a volunteer guiding dog trainer, in which I teach puppies house manners and reinforce their skills. I have my own pets (including a gecko!) and I adore meeting new friends :) I work full-time but have a flexible schedule, so I can easily make time in my day to come care for your pets! Rain or shine, I love spending time outside and would be happy to take your pet with me. I truly value understanding each dog's personality and needs to ensure happiness and safety for everyone. I would love to get to know your pet and take care of them in the ways that they need.

About: I have raised and lovingly cared for 3 dogs in the last 20 years. Your pet will feel like they are at home when you're away.. I am a local teacher with my summer off. I have two dogs and children but they travel between two houses. While your pet stays with me it would be just them and myself, they would get my full attention! My yard is set up for games of catch or just exploring new smells. I have a fenced in backyard and an already established dog friendly home. I love walking around my neighborhood and to the park. I am able to drive to your home if needed to feed, let out or walk your pet.

About: I have had 3 puppies in the past 3 years and one elderly, sickly dog that I help take care of, and watch a family friend's dogs, by walking and feeding them whenever they need me to as they take multiple trips throughout the year. Very flexible as watching pets is something I do on a daily basis with all 8 of my dogs requiring attention. My schedule also fits the needs of future clients and what special needs they may insist on. I would go directly to my clients home's in order to keep their dogs in a safe and comfortable environment to walk, feed and watch them as needed.

About: Hi there! My name is Sionainn (pronounced “Shannon”), and I love dogs- a lot! I have extensive experience caring for pets of all ages, personalities, and special needs. I love going for long walks and having involved playtime sessions, and will make sure your dog is having the time of their life! I cared for my dog, Lucy, from puppyhood through her senior years (1 to 16.5 years old). I also have experience with high-anxiety dogs, and I understand the patience and gentleness they require. In addition, I’ve provided regular care for a diabetic cat over several years, including insulin administration. No matter what special care your pet may need, I’m confident and comfortable providing it! Finally… you probably don’t have a goat—but if you did, I’ve got experience with those too! I am a graduate student, which gives me plenty of flexibility and time to dedicate to your pets throughout the day. I also have a car, so as long as parking is available, getting to you is no problem! I provide personalized care based on your pet’s unique needs and routine. Whether it’s sticking to a special diet, administering medication, or giving extra attention to energetic puppies or senior pets, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.
