“kirsten went above and beyond to care for our babies while we were gone! tons of cute pictures and videos, and definitely made our loves feel loved!!”


“Erin was great and took amazing care of my boys! I loved getting the daily pictures and knew they were in good hands. She also was really good with my bird - he can be challenging because he's flighted, but Erin was patient with him so he didn't have to spend the whole time I was gone stuck in his cage. I highly recommend her, and Mr. Charlie Kitty also gives her 2 paws up!”


“Rucha & Ethan did a wonderful job caring for my two needy cats over thanksgiving! I had a worry-free trip because they were so communicative, and my cats really loved them. I have one cat that gets very very stressed out when I’m away, and he showed zero signs of stress (diarrhea/ vomit/ hiding)! I am SO grateful ❤️and look forward to having them watch the kitties when I’m away again. Thank you!!”


“We'd give more stars if we could! Emily is an awesome communicator and did an incredible job with our elderly, attitude-filled boxer and our orange cat. We had a last minute situation where we needed an extra drop in while we were out of town and Emily stepped in with no hesitation and saved the day. We will absolutely be booking again!”


“Very satisfied with Sarah’s care. She is very responsive, followed instructions for my dogs well, and my dogs looked happy and well taken care of in the photos she sent. Thanks so much, Sarah!”


“We were very glad to leave our cats in Kaylee’s excellent care. Would definitely recommend her & will not hesitate to have her come back for drop-in visits again.”


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.

“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!”


“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 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!”


“Andrea is always reliable. We have used her multiple times for quick trips, and love that she sends us photos each time she drops in.”


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!

“Rachel is amazing! She helped us out in a pinch and went above and beyond—visiting our dog Bastien three days in a row while we were tied up with long days away from home. Bastien adores her, and it’s easy to see why! Not only did she walk, feed, and snuggle him, but she even laid with him during a thunderstorm to keep him calm. I trust Rachel implicitly and feel so grateful to have her in our lives. She’s wonderful - truly the kind of sitter every pet parent hopes for. Thank you, Rachel!”


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.

“Claudia did a great job with Enzo! She's pleasant, dependable and I can tell she really enjoys what she does. Enzo looked so happy in the pictures she texted me when she did her drop in visits to feed him and take him outside. I will definitely hire Claudia again.”


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.

“Rachel was absolutely amazing with our dogs. Rachel is very communicative and responsive to all questions and concerns. Our dogs also felt immediately at ease. Can't wait to have Rachel come back in the future!”


“We booked Ruby for some drop-in visits with our senior dog over the course of a few nights we were away and wanted him to stay in our own home. She was communicative and conscientious with our dog and we had a great experience with her.”


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
