“Elizabeth was fantastic with our dogs! She was reliable, communicative, and clearly loves animals. We returned from our trip and found our animals were happy and well cared for. Elizabeth went above and beyond and made sure our dogs had comfort during fireworks which typically cause them to have high anxiety. I’ll definitely book with them again!”
“It has been such a pleasure getting to know Kait before her upcoming week stay with our dogs! Our dogs seem to love her already and she’s so friendly, courteous, dependable, positive, and knowledgeable. So grateful to have found her!”
“Naomi did a wonderful job taking care of our two cats, fed them and cleaned the litter boxes. She kept in contact and updated us with pictures, we will definitely ask her to take care of the cats again!”
About: Who better than a veterinarian to take care of your best buddies while you're away? I am a new DVM graduate, and am happy to take care of your pets, no matter how old or young, especially those with special needs! I am certified in dog/cat CPR, and am comfortable providing any care needed. *Please note*: My providing pet sitting/dog walking/pet care services does NOT constitute a VCPR, and I cannot provide medical advice unless a VCPR is explicitly established in accordance with NY State Law* I prefer to stay in the client's home especially for dogs as this is generally much more comfortable for the dog to stay in their own environment. For overnight stays, I like to meet the dogs beforehand with owners present. This way they are assured it is okay to have me in their space for staying with them.
“Ethan may have a soft spot for dogs, but it's clear that all creatures trust him. Our four cats warmed up faster than I've ever seen, and our three skittish hens were happy and excited when we got home. Thanks for the great care you took Ethan! 🙂”
“It’s clear Dawn cares about my kitties that she is pet-sitting. I feel much better about my absence than I thought I could with all her care and communication”
“Chris did a great job again with our shy kitty Mia!”
About: I’ve loved animals all my life. I have a very vivid memory of fishing with my father. We caught a fish the size of a silver dollar. Thrilled to throw it back my father stopped me and proceeded to cut the fish up for bait. I cried for so long that day. Looking back it’s pretty funny that it stayed with me. Presently that experience reverberates through my life in small cries during commercials featuring animals doing sweet/sad things, and big sobs in the theater when one is lost on screen. I’m an owner of 2 cats. Both are very sweet. One is more curious and the other more apprehensive (he hides when we have other animal visitors). I’ve raised 3 dogs and have fostered once before. I’ve worked at a Veterinary Clinic back in Texas and have experience with giving oral medication as well as subcutaneous injections. I give 2 shots to my own twice daily so I’m very familiar with it. I go to school full-time and I only live 7 minutes away from school! My classes during the week are usually 3 hours long with at least 3 hours in-between classes. Friday through Sunday my attention is all to your fur baby. I have a small open yard with a leash anchor so your pet can enjoy time outside with a sense of freedom and supervision during outside time. There are trails close to my house for walking and our small neighborhood has a 30 mph speed limit. If your pet is crate trained I can accommodate a crate in a large well lit kitchen or an equally well lit cozy upstairs bedroom. Either way under supervision your pet has full access to my couch and home to be as comfortable as they need. If they require smaller spaces my bedroom (cats not allowed upstairs) is free to roam as well. No human food is easily accessible in the house due to my own pets’ dietary issues. I’m happy to communicate most times of the day through text or app for updates on your loved one.
About: I've loved and cared for dogs and cats since I was a child. I now work remotely, so I can be quite flexible in terms of care and stays. While I live in Homer, NY, I currently work remotely. My schedule is extremely flexible, even with short notice. And I love pets of all types of sizes. While I do not currently have pets of my own, I lived as both a kid and adult with both dogs and cats. I'll keep them safe and shower them with love!

I currently work at a local vet clinic here in Ithaca so I am also up to date and knowledgable about different breeds,foods, treats, and everything cat and dog! Ive been pet sitting and walking since the age of 13 Which has helped me learn all about caring for animals at all ages. From 4 weeks up till seniority, I can do it all and love every minute of it. Taking care of animals is something im extremely passionate about. I would love the opportunity to meet you and your furry(or feathered or scaled) friend!

“Candyse was such an amazing help over the holidays while we were traveling. She checked on our cat while we were away and gave great updates on him each time, even sending us photos each time. She went above and beyond in helping us out. I would highly recommend Candyse to watch your pet.”
“Mackenzie was great! She connected with our cats so well and captured their personalities in daily update photos. Mackenzie is very responsive and reliable and we will be reaching out to her again. Thanks Mackenzie!!”
“Chantal was easy to get a hold of and provided feedback every time she visited. My cats and fish were all happy and healthy when I returned home from my week long trip.”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and currently have a German shepherd of my own. I’ve also walked and cared for many dogs since I was a teenager including dog sitting for my own Veterinarian’s dogs. I’m a part time therapist and I work remote so I’m always local. My availability varies but I’m mainly available mornings and afternoons before 3pm as well as most weekends. In your home I would make sure your dog is as comfortable in its routine as if you were home and leave no trace of my presence. If I were to care for your dog in my home I have a friendly German shepherd puppy (fully vaccinated) and a dog-friendly cat. If your dog is comfortable with other dogs and cats I’d be happy to welcome them into our furry family for their visit.
About: Hi! My name is Emery and I am a recent college grad. I've had a wide variety of pets that I've taken care of in the 7 years of experience I have. I have taken care of dogs for about 4 years and have experience feeding, walking, and watching dogs. I also really enjoy taking dogs on hikes! I have mostly done house drop ins where I would feed the dogs and play with them. I own three cats myself, Pumpkin (13), Bean (11 weeks old) and Sprout (3). I have trained the older ones to do tricks and to go on walks. My most recent experience has mostly been in care for cats, where I would feed and play with them at home visits. I am currently a line cook and I work mostly evenings. I can easily work pet care around my schedule by making sure I go to take care of your pet needs before any shift. I have two cats at home, and I am willing to house cats at my home. Small dogs are allowed on a case by case basis. I have an extra bedroom to be used as a safe zone for your pet's privacy. I also already have extra litter boxes. Our cats here have experience meeting other cats and dogs. They interact well with them. As for dogs I am willing to dedicate as much time needed to make sure they adjust well and feel safe with me. I love to play with dogs and give them belly rubs.
About: I’ve taken care of our family dogs, cats and chickens for over 20 years. Our animals are a part of our family and are treated as such! Good exercise, healthy food and regular grooming are essential to taking good care of our pets! Although I am a full time teacher, our dogs are walked twice daily. Our dogs are brushed out daily to maintain their coat. I ensure that our animals receive the care and attention needed to feel loved by and connected to us. Our dogs have a fenced in back yard for fetch and a nice neighborhood/pond area for walks. I will take good care of your animals by ensuring good exercise and care taking.
“Briana, and her little boy, always exceed expectations. My animals will be asking me to go back on the road just so they can see her again. Rover hasn’t recognized livestock yet, but Briana does!”
“I couldn't ask for anything better. Lindsay is simply fantastic. She was exceptional caring and loving with my cats, while extremely respectful when doing her tasks at my home. She went above and beyond my expectations.”
About: For as long as I can remember I have had a passion for caring for animals. I have had animals my entire life including dogs, cats and other small animals. I now have 4 years experience working professionally with dogs. I have worked at 2 different dog daycares. The first was training based where I got experience training basic obedience on top of having continued education in dog behavior and dog body language. The second daycare also did boarding which gave me even more experience in dog handling, preparing food, administering medication and taking care of up to 50 dogs at a time. Unfortunately I am only able to do pet sitting and dog walking a few days a week, however most of those days would be weekends Dogs need lots of exercise and enrichment, I’d love to help you with that! Either by a walk through town on a nice day or some enrichment and playtime at your home!

His name is Buttons and he loves snuggles and treats!

“John has had pets his whole life. Those pets have been lucky enough to live with a person who so genuinely cares about animals. (Especially dogs!) He is always sharing pictures with his dogs on walks and when having fun at home as well. John truly truly cares for dogs and there is no one else I would trust my pet with as much as I would with John!”

“Jacob has always been a great caregiver to both my dogs and my cat. He is very mindful of their needs and sent consistent updates and pictures! He was also very flexible when we had a flight delay coming home. He definitely treated my pets like his family. I highly recommend and will be using him again!”
Aaron F.
“Aaron is one of the most kind, gentle souls I’ve ever met. I’ve known him for over 22 years, and I can confidently say there are few in this world I trust more than him. Every animal I’ve ever seen him with, including my own dog, is both safe and loved in his presence. I never let anyone other than my mother watch my dog, but if I needed to, I’d hand her to him without a second thought. He’s trustworthy and dependable in ways most could never achieve. I couldn’t possibly recommend him more to care for anyone’s pets. He is a diamond in the rough, and your pets will always be in great hands.”
Monique J.
“Monique is WONDERFUL! I actually met her at her job, Petland. I was shopping for a new collar and some toys for my boxer mix and I was going on about how I was trying to find someone to watch him for the weekend while I went away on business, and she mentioned that she actually did dog sitting and would love to do it. The next day I met with her and my little Billy got to see her house and meet her dogs, everyone immediately hit it off amd it was set! She sent me LOADS of pictures and videos of Billy having fun with her and her dogs, even ahowing me that she took him to the pool. It really helped reassure me, especially since this is the first time spending the weekend away from him. She really is the greatest and her love for dogs is evident.”
