“Janet is a wonderful sitter for my little diva Snuggles! She is patient and kind and very understanding. My fur baby is very high maintenance, and I very much appreciate Janet taking the time with her to make sure she's comfortable, and entertained, and treated as well as she would be at home. Thank you Janet!”

“Alex took such great care of my dog! He provided plenty of updates, including photos and messages, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. My dog came home happy, well-exercised, and clearly well-loved.”


“Jess and Matt are the best. My girl walks into their home comfortable and confident. She no she is always well taken care of there always and has fun. I wish I could show you a picture of what she’s like this morning still sleeping, under the covers and snoring. Thank you”

“During the introduction meeting Carolina and her family were all so welcoming and kind and Carolina was obviously on point professionally so I was completely comfortable with leaving Onyx with them. The appointment went very smoothly and I highly recommend her to anyone needing a dog-sitter.”

“Kelly is wonderful! She messaged us pictures of our dogs the entire time we were gone. She updated us on what they were doing and how they were. Our dogs are our children, so the updates made it easier to enjoy our time than worrying about them and how they were doing. They had many adventures and cuddles while we were away. She really knows what she is doing! Our dogs loved their stay. She even made sure to check in with us about dogs on the furniture, which was thoughtful! We are going out of town again very soon and in the summer. We plan on using Kelly in the future and will recommend her to our friends ?.”

“I was SO nervous to board our puppy - we had only had her for three weeks and are new dog owners. We had to make a last minute booking and were going to be away for ten days. Well, by the time we went to pick Winnie up we were worried she wouldn't want to come home with us. Mary worked with Winnie on basic commands, slowing down eating, had great suggestions for how to keep her occupied and even got her hooked on her homemade Pup Pops! We got photos, texts and videos every day which made it possible to relax and enjoy our vacation knowing that our baby was having a GREAT time at her new Auntie's house. Winnie got some really great socialization under the watchful eye of Mary and her husband. You can tell that they adore dogs and they know each dog's personality and quirks. I cannot thank them enough and will definitely be rebooking when we leave town again. Thank you, Mary!! :)”


“I dropped my 1 year old St. Bernard off with Steve and Patty to care for before going on a 7 day vacation. Steve was very professional and organized. It was obvious when I arrived at their home that they love dogs! Steve explained the process of his boarding at the 'meet and greet', then told me what I needed to bring when I returned to drop my pup off. The entire process went smoothly. I received updates with pictures of my pet while I was on vacation. By the looks of the pictures I think my dog had a better vacation with Steve and Patty than I did on my trip!! She seemed happy to see me on pick-up day but also wanted to go back to play with her new friends. I am extremely happy with Steve and Patty's service.”

“Spencer was fantastic. He was communicative, professional, and sent regular updates and photos, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our dog was comfortable and well cared for. He was attentive and picked up on little personality details, making the experience even better. We came home to a happy, relaxed dog. Highly recommend Spencer and would absolutely book with him again.”

“Shanea is amazing! She took care of our 6 month old picky labradoodle so well. She’s like his second family and had an awesome time. I would trust her to take care of your fur babies like they were her own.”


“We dropped off our puppy for the first time ever when in Ithaca for my boyfriends Cornell reunion. Frankie was so well taken care of! Aaron and Kaylee were so responsive and sent us photos and updates each day. Frankie was exhausted when we picked him up and I’m sure was sad to leave his new friends behind. If we are ever in the area again, we would love to use them again!”

About: Peppy Pet Care was launched at the end of 2018 in Ithaca, NY by myself and my animal-loving, entrepreneurial eleven year old daughter. Together we worked to provide outstanding pet sitting services to Ithaca and Lansing pet owners. Beginning in 2021, I started officially working on my own, as my daughter is busy pursuing other interests and activities. I treat pets in my care as I would my own. I am considerate, patient, reliable and caring and trustworthy. I treat each visit like an adventure and make it the warmest and most wonderful experience for each animal. I look forward to meeting you and your cat/dog and discussing your care needs. Thank you in advance for considering my services!!! I'm available both weekdays and weekends. Mornings, afternoons, evenings, as well as late night. I am typically in town during holidays and update my online calendar frequently. I provide care in client homes only at this time. I'm always vigilant when entering and exiting client homes, so as not to allow pets to slip out.

About: Aside from my own pets over the years, I’ve also provided care and comfort to pets of family and friends. Whether in my home or yours, I will treat your pets as if they were my own. I know how hard it is to find a safe place for our fur babies when we have to travel. Our pittie mutt, Hank, can’t wait to meet your pups! I recently retired after 36 years of teaching and have lots of free time to care for your fur babies. We have a large fenced in deck (and pool for our swimmers). Our 12 acres are not fenced but are cleared for easy walks, on or off lead as desired. Our home sits well off the main road. We’re not opposed to taking pups for rides in our side by side. House trained dogs have freedom in our home. We’re suckers who allow pets on furniture and provide all the love and cuddles needed to make them comfortable. We have plenty of room for crates if your pup is more comfortable in one. In your home, I will follow your house rules. Depending on location, I can come and visit or stay overnight. I can bring mail and packages in for you and take care of your plants. 🪴
“Bryan was a great pet sitter. He was very prompt on getting back to me about how my dog was doing while me and my family were out of town. He also sent me plenty of pictures of my puppy. I would definitely recommend him caring for your pet. Thank you again so much. ☺️”

“Adalia is fantastic. She made me feel very comfortable leaving Luxe with her for the week. She kept me updated and Luxe came home her same happy self. Will def use her again.”


“Amanda was a godsend for boarding our three dogs while we were away for five days. We were anxious since it was our dogs’ first time being boarded. The pups didn’t exactly make a great first impression—let’s just say they had some settling in missteps in the first 10 minutes that had us cringing. But Amanda was amazing, brushing it off with a smile and total confidence. She knows her stuff, having worked with veterinary’s practice, and made us feel quite comfortable leaving our pups with her. She sent us daily texts and pics, which was a relief. The dogs clearly loved her, and by the time we picked them up, they were chill, happy, and obviously well-fed and exercised. We’re already looking forward to booking Amanda again.”
