Pet Sitting in Marcellus Falls

“Thank you so much! Pamela is very respectful and responsible. She treats everything as if it was her own, hence the caring and love of my kitty while I was on vacation. Will definitely be reaching out to Pamela again upon my next vacation!”

“Quinn watched our senior cat and was so patient and relaxed with her. She provided great photos and summaries/explanations on every rover card each day so we knew that our cat was being well cared for while we were gone. She was also very responsive on any messages we sent to her and was very understanding and flexible. We will definitely request to have her watch our cat again if she is available!”

“Amanda was awesome & took good care of my bunny Scottie! She was very thoughtful in updating me and I could tell my Scottie had come to trust her over the week of her drop in visits.”

About: My journey in animal care began in 2017 as a kennel technician, and over the past 8 years, I’ve grown into a skilled veterinary assistant with extensive experience caring for dogs, cats and exotic pets of all breeds and temperaments. When I go home, I hug my 2 cats and 2 dogs after a long days work. I also have owned a hedgehog who is now in heaven, and I had the pleasure of growing with and caring for my childhood dog who is also in heaven with my hedgie. From daily walks and enrichment to assisting in exams and treatments, I’ve had the privilege of supporting our furry friends through every stage of life. I’m trained in administering medications—whether it’s a pill, injection, or special diet—and I always prioritize comfort, safety, and trust. Whether your fur baby is playful, shy, or needs a little extra TLC, I bring patience, experience, and a whole lot of love to every visit. I work weekdays 7a-3p, so I am available M-F after 3-3:30p. Saturdays and Sundays I am usually away. I can answer any questions on availability and openings for walks and drop ins! I fully acknowledge that I am entering into your home and that alone is the biggest reason I go above and beyond on building trust with you and fur babies. Safety is my highest priority — I want everyone to feel safe before I ever step foot into your home. I require a meet and greet to start the process; this is to make sure your pet(s) get familiarized with my presence, then I assess compatibility after 1-2 bookings. If I’m concerned about temperament, we will next steps and gauge whether or not we can move forward with future bookings. There are times when pets display signs of stress or protective/territorial behaviors when a stranger enters their home, especially if it’s for the first time. While I’m comfortable caring for an array of temperaments, the last thing I want is your pet to be stressed and unhappy. I am transparent about this process upfront as I prioritize safety for all parties. Upon meeting you and your pet for the first time, I will ask you (many) questions and write all information provided down and go over everything with you before ending the meet and greet session. This will include questions regarding specialized care, diet, temperament, etc. I will also ask for an emergency contact and veterinarian information in the case there is an emergency while you’re not home. For all of my services I make sure to accurately follow all instructions provided with consistent text and picture updates. I NEVER touch anything in your home besides pet-related items disclosed at our meet and greet unless I have permission. After services are completed, I refill all food/water bowls, put back all pet related items such as food and toys where they belong, tidy up if permitted, and give your pets some extra TLC before leaving!

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs my entire life. I have experience with puppies, energetic dogs, and elderly dogs. I love to spend my free time outside with my own dog, helping him get more exercise! I am eager to expand my dog experience and to bond with more animals. I’m currently working part time so I’ll have open availability to watch your dogs! I am able to be flexible to find times to walk or take your pup for a potty break! If you require a longer stay, I just need to know at least 2 weeks in advance to ensure my schedule will align. I currently have a Catahoula Leopord Dog, he requires a lot of attention and outdoor time. He has a hard time sharing his space, so I would have to board at the clients home. While visiting at the clients home, I will ensure the pup receives plenty of exercise, cuddles, and as many potty breaks it needs! I have my own transportation so it’s not a problem to commute.

“Reliable and skilled, took charge of my fluffy mastiff, yellow lab and smaller lab-pit mix and handled them nicely. Sent timely text reports and pics, so I knew my dogs were well taken care of and I had peace of mind. Definitely recommend hiring Kristin L.”

“Meghan handled the visits and my cats excellently. I came home to two contented cats and knowing I was coming back at the end of the evening, Meghan cleaned up so I wouldn't have to. What a wonderful surprise. I was so grateful. I will ask her again to visit my cats.”

Joan C.

“This was our first time trying Rover and we’re so glad we did! Mia was very sweet throughout the whole process and I knew our doggies were in good hands!”

About: I have experience with dogs for almost 40 years. I also have experience with cats and birds. I have had puppies through their senior years as well as taking some older dogs through the rescue that I work with. I am experienced with giving medication as well as any other needs they may have. I have experience cat sitting for family and they have special diets as well as medicine given twice a day. I am a teacher so will have the summer off to help throughout the day as well as evenings and weekends. I can come to your house, or have them come to mine. My pets, 3 dogs and a bird, are quite literally part of my family. They are allowed everywhere in my home. I treat all animals as though they are one of my own. I have experience with giving medication or special diets as needed. When I have pet sit for other’s I always will do anything requested. I am more than willing to send photos if requested.

“She is very nice and has quick communication. She spends good time actively with my cat . Thank you !”

“Julianne was very friendly and SUPER patient with our extremely anxious dog, Charlie. Scheduling went smoothly, Julianne was flexible and worked with us despite our last minute booking! Julianne was very comfortable with Charlie - who can lack manners when first meeting her (a work in progress for us) which can be difficult for many given she is a relatively larger breed. She sent cute pictures and kept us updated on how everything was going. We are grateful!”

“Booking Chris to look after our Great Dane during our trip to St. Thomas is one of the best choice we made beyond choosing to go on the trip itself. Throughout the entire process... from the booking, to a pre-visit, and during the week, Chris was friendly, approachable, and helpful. He did 4 drop-in visits over the course of a 5-day week. With each visit he provided updates, pictures, and summaries. It was perfect for a family that missed their dog, but also had never relied on a person outside of the family to look after her. He was very easy to contact for whatever reason (dependent on weather or not we were in a remote place that had actual service) and he was not afraid to ask questions if necessary. We would use Chris again in a heartbeat and would encourage anyone else that needs his services to do so.”

“Jaclyn took care of our dog Chief while we were away on vacation. We loved getting the photo updates! He was so happy and well cared for while we were gone!”

About: I work from home, so I am always available for the pets! I love all ages, puppies to older dogs. I had a dog growing up, she just recently passed, so I have experience with all ages. I work from home, so I am available to be with the pets all day long. I love to go on walks so I would love to bring them along with me! I have a dog crate available, and I live in a very safe neighborhood, I will make sure to never leave the pets alone too!

About: I’ve learned so much raising my dog from puppyhood to almost 3 years old. I came to dog ownership in my 30s, after dreaming of a dog for several years. My grandma had dogs (appenzell mountain dog, beagle, and schnauzer) and I grew up visiting with them. With my own dog, over the last few years, I have taken courses in basic obedience, reactive dog management strategies, reactivity counter conditioning/desensitization, multiple Control Unleashed (Leslie McDevitt) courses, impulse control, cooperative care, basic scent work, and more. I have also taken several webinars on various canine topics. I taught myself to groom my dog (poodle mix) and learned all husbandry tasks in a fear free cooperative manner. I am a member of several online communities of dog trainers and owners - such as Fenzi Dog Sports Academy. I am positive reinforcement (R+) and fear free. I am familiar with many forms of enrichment - including sniff/decompression walks, frozen kong/toppl/lick mat, shredding paper, toy play, snuffle mats and more. I am familiar with and use a variety of long line lengths. I am familiar with sensitive dogs and their unique needs. I’m currently working part time, remotely, so my schedule is flexible and I have ample time for drop in visits. I am happy to come to you. I am only offering services at your house at this time. I am one of the most honest people you will meet, caring for your dog and your property as I care for my own. I am tidy and clean.

About: What distinguishes me from other dog sitters is my lifelong companionship with dogs, instilling in me an innate understanding of their needs and behaviors. Beyond my extensive experience as a dog owner, I possess specialized skills that cater to a wide range of canine requirements. Whether it's training energetic puppies, ensuring the comfort and well-being of senior dogs, or simply providing a safe and loving environment, I am well-equipped to handle diverse situations. Your furry companions will not only receive responsible care but also benefit from my adeptness at creating tailored routines that accommodate their unique personalities and preferences. With me, you can rest assured that your beloved dogs will be treated with the utmost respect, attention, and devotion. Pet care seamlessly integrates into my daily and weekly routine, even with a full-time job. Despite my professional commitments, I am devoted to providing exceptional care to dogs. During weekdays, I prioritize early morning walks and playtime before work, ensuring they start the day with positive energy. I've strategically structured my evenings around quality time with the dogs, focusing on exercise and interaction. On weekends, I offer extended care and undivided attention, making it the perfect opportunity for boarding and a truly immersive experience. My commitment to their well-being and my ability to provide attentive care during the weekends guarantees that your dogs will receive the utmost attention. When caring for pets, whether in my home or at the client's residence, I prioritize their comfort, safety, and happiness. If providing care in my own home, I ensure a cozy and pet-friendly environment. I'm fortunate to have access to a nearby dog park within my apartment complex, where dogs can socialize, play fetch, and enjoy outdoor activities. Additionally, I'm conveniently located near various walking and hiking trails, which offer stimulating adventures for energetic dogs to explore nature. For those preferring a more relaxed setting, there's a spacious greenspace near my apartment, ideal for leisurely strolls and lounging in the sun. Regardless of the service, whether it's boarding, walking, or drop-in visits, my goal is to create a tailored experience that aligns with each pet's individual needs and preferences, making their time with me both enjoyable and fulfilling.
