“Lee is the absolute best! She’s my go to person when I need someone to sit my pup. He seems very fond of her. I’m at ease knowing she’s there taking care of the house and my pup. She’s also so sweet, she made sure I made it home safely from an international trip and double checked to make sure my Jax wasn’t left alone for too long.”


“Marie was wonderful with Bailey. We were away for long stretch and Maria sent many photos and videos which helped being away less stressful. Maria was very communitive and respectful. I would not hesitate to ask Maria to take care of our Bailey.”


“Nia was great! She was responsive and sent a lot of updates and photos. She made our pups feel so comfortable and I could tell they loved her as soon as they met her. We totally trusted her in our home and with our boys. We will definitely book her again in the future!”


“Gabby took care of our 14 year old chihuahua, Bella, in our home for a week while we were on vacation. She did an amazing job- great communication, very reliable and Bella loved her. Highly recommend!”


About: I am very intuitive to what animals needs are. I’m patient and pets safety is my top priority! Comforting animals is a blessing that I can’t get enough of! My hours are a bit flexible but I am mainly have a lot of free time on Mondays & Fridays from 2-7. Saturdays and Sundays I am completely available. First off, I always read the directions multiple times. Make sure their food and leashes are easy to find. Then I always check the backyard before letting a dog out. I want to be sure there are no gaps in the fences or any other large wildlife they may want to chase. If in case of emergency, I would love to know what veterinary practice is used and emergency contacts if I’m not able to make direct contact.

“Cassandra was an excellent sitter. My two babies were well taken care of and happy. She sent us updates, pictures and videos. In the video, you can tell how much my babies felt comfortable and well cared for!!”


About: I run my own small business so I am flexible. I have 2 Russian blue cats at the moment, but I have always had black labs in the past. I love animals of all kinds. I run a small business, so I make my own schedule. I would work around any pet sits that I have scheduled and I’m fairly flexible. I would listen to the needs of each client as each pet comes with their own requirements. I do not live in a place that caters to boarding, so I am only offering pet sitting in the client’s home.

About: I have taken care of numerous pets for family and friends, including dogs, cats, birds, fish, ferretsand even hermit crabs! Along side this my family has owned dogs since I was 2 years old, and I've done my pest to train and care all of them. I am a part-time worker along with a seasonal school photographer so I have plenty of spare time to help care for your pet's needs! I believe it is beat to care for a pet in their own space. Having their family leave can be stressful enough so I believe it is important to help them feel both safe and cared for.

“Taryn did a wonderful job taking care of my dog while I was in Asia. I received numerous photos and updates and felt so relieved my girl was taken care of. Thank you, Taryn!!”


“My dog can be difficult, and I’ve never left her with a dog sitter so I was quite nervous, but Dana did an amazing job. She sent me regular updates, kept my dog in her usual routine and handled her puppy energy like a pro!”


“Jason was communicative and worked hard to get our shy/skittish dog to warm up to him. By the end of the weekend both Nova and Frankie were big fans. He also left the apartment very tidy, dishes clean and garbage taken out. Very classy. I would highly recommend.”

About: I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life. I never had a pet of my own until I met my former partner and he had a deaf Australian Shepard and I fell in love with her. A year after that we rescued a mix and named him Archer and he is the most loyal, loving dog I’ve ever met. I’ve also helped take care of my sisters mini poodle on and off for about 3 years so have experience with big and small dogs as well as deaf dogs. I work full time currently Monday through Friday but pet care would be something I can do in the evenings and weekends, while also spending time with my own dog. I have plenty of paths and places to walk dogs near my home and my complex has a dog park to play and use the bathroom

About: I love being able to take care of dogs, I have always grown up with dogs in the home and also have worked in a professional dog boarding facility. I am currently a student so I have plenty of time on the weekends and afternoons. I am usually available anytime after 3pm and anytime on the weekends. I would love to walk your dogs or visit them if needed. I love walking dogs and have walked very large and strong dogs a countless number of times.

About: I have cared for my own dog for the past 13 years and sadly he died in February 2025. I walked him around my neighborhood consistently for all those years and now having that routine gone is difficult. Before having him as my own, I also helped take care of my families dog for several years. I am experienced in caring for dogs of all ages and demeanors and all sizes too :) I am attending SUNY Cortland right now and that is the only large barrier in my weekly schedule. I can care and/or walk dogs after 7pm on Monday and Wednesdays. I am available after 4pm on Tuesday and Thursday. Friday and Saturday I can provide care all day with a days notice. Without notice I will most likely be working on Friday and therefore not available until after 4pm that day. I can house-sit on Fridays and Saturdays and into Sunday afternoon as well! I will maintain a safe and calm environment for your pet while caring for them and allow them to initiate any desired games or actions. I am willing to accommodate however you prefer for your dog when caring for them, just let me know of anything necessary :) Any questions or concerns for your dog's care are welcomed and appreciated as I prefer a heads up in advance of anything unusual or to keep an eye out/for. Thanks :)

About: I’ve taken care of dogs all my life. Today I have a happy 11 year old Pomeranian mix. I grew up with black labs. I love to play fetch and hike with dogs whenever I can.

About: I’ve loved dogs since I saw my first one. Caring for animals is one of my favorite things to do. I want to make sure they are so comfortable, it’s like you never left. My partner Rebecca is, naturally, every animal’s best friend. She brings a calming vibe to the space that is hard to achieve for everybody. I am 18 years old and a full time high school student meaning I will be available any time from Friday night - Sunday evening. We have a very carefully crafted schedule for all of our pets at home. Making the dog feel comfortable and cared for is my biggest priority.

Eva B.
“Eva has pet sat for my sweet boy (cat), Simon, periodically for over a year. Initially I was nervous because he is a shy boy, but Eva is a true animal whisperer and he took right to her! Each time she stays with him I receive frequent picture updates which gives me peace of mind - not too mention she is a gifted photographer! I feel so much less anxiety going out of town knowing I can always rely on her to watch Simon. She is very friendly and personable and a pleasure to work with- would recommend!”

She takes wonderful care of those in her charge, keeping them clean, well fed and loved as if they were her own. She is an intelligent caregiver, who carefully follows directions on how to provide for animals in the way their owner requests. She has watched over many of my pets through the years, and I have always been so thankful for her efforts!”

She has the knowledge and expertise to handle any temperament from an anxious dog to a dog with the tendency to be more aggressive. Shannen is definitely a dogs best friend!”

Her dog is so well cared for — any pet would be lucky to spend time with her!”

Patrick S.
“Pat is a kind and responsible person who you can trust to take excellent care of your “best friend “. Pat recently lost the rescue dog who was his companion for the last 13 years. While not ready to replace Buddy yet, he misses having a dog in the house and would be happy to care for yours while you’re away. Pat has watched dogs many times over the years for family members and neighbors who needed his help. He will play with, walk, and keep your dog company. I’m sure your dog will love staying with Pat.”
