Cat Sitting in Mecklenburg

“Kaylee is an excellent pet sitter! She took care of our two cats for 12 days while we were away, and we never had to worry about a thing. She keeps you updated and informed of everything going on with your pets, and cares for them like they were her own. You will love having her take care of your pets and your pets will love her too! Our shy cat, who is always under the bed whenever anyone comes over to our house, warmed up to Kaylee incredibly quickly. We will definitely book her again in the future,”

“I cannot recommend Nicole enough! She did such a great job of looking after our two cats whilst we were away and we felt so at ease knowing they were well taken care of. We haven't left our cats for a long period before but from the initial meet-and-greet Nicole took great notes we knew they were in good hands. It was really reassuring to get super cute photos and updates every day and see that they were enjoying playtime with their favourite toys! Thank you so much Nicole!!”

“I'm so glad I found Ariana! I moved for a new job with a demanding, unpredictable schedule, and she’s been an absolute lifesaver. She's kind, attentive and truly cares about my animals' individual needs. She took all my requests seriously and always goes above and beyond with her updates, which gives me real peace of mind while I’m at work. I’ve already referred her to a friend who’s just as happy, and I’m a repeat client myself. I can't recommend her enough!”

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.

“Clara was great! We hadn’t used this app before and she met with us in person before our trip to help us get comfortable with the process. Took excellent care of our cats and provided pictures for every visit. If you’re on the fence about finding someone I would definitely vouch for Clara. Very happy with the care she provided.”

“We had Ken for a 2 day house sit for our dog, Flash. In all of our years using Rover, we’ve rarely had a sitter who loves Flash as much (maybe more!) than we do. Ken even made a special late evening visit outside of those that were scheduled just to make sure Flash had a little extra love before bed. We came back to a tidy home and happy pooch. Will definitely have Ken back again!”

About: I have been lucky enough to spend time with dogs of a range of ages, sizes, and personalities, from energetic puppies to sweet senior pups who need a slower pace and a gentle touch. I’m comfortable with a wide range of needs, just let me know! I take time to build trust, especially with shy or anxious dogs, and I always move at their pace. I also pay close attention to behavior and body language, so I can respond quickly if something seem off. But most importantly, I make sure that they're safe and happy, while waiting for their favorite person to come back to them. Caring for the fluffy angels is something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize in my daily life. My schedule is flexible and I can work from home, which means I can dedicate quality time to walks, play, feeding, and companionship without rushing. Whether I'm welcoming pets into my home or caring for them in their own space, I always focus on creating a calm, safe, and loving environment. I live in a quiet apartment surrounded by forest and green space, with very little car traffic in the neighborhood, which is perfect for peaceful walks and outdoor sniff time. At my place, I maintain a clean and cozy space with plenty of room for your doggie or kitty to lounge, play, or nap. In your home, I'll respect the privacy and cleaness of your space. I will follow your care instructions closely, from feeding routines to medication schedules and favorite toys, because I know how important familiarity and consistency is to their happiness.

“Kristopher does a great job with our puppy.”

“Bill and Emma we're great! They're very patient and caring, and made sure our dog was well looked after. They clearly love animals, and we're very happy to recommend them!”

“Sarah has watched my cat on multiple occasions and continues to make amazing progress in developing a relationship with my very shy and occasionally skittish cat. She always provides thoughtful notes and observations after her visits. I'm so happy to have Sarah as a part of my care team!”

About: I started petsitting as a college student in DC in 2010, until I left in 2013. I took a short break, but began petsitting again in Ithaca NY in 2014, running my own business, and stayed very busy until 2020 when covid hit. Since then, I have kept my clients to a select few, very local clients. I have experience with all kinds of animals, but I have finally admitted I'm a crazy dog lady :) I currently work full time but am a homebody outside of work, and animals are my stress relief...so I love being able to spend time with all kinds of animals! When caring for pets in client's homes, I always ensure that they are safe. If there is a fenced in area, I ensure that all gates are secure before letting pets out. If there is no fenced in area, I always ensure that I walk dogs in a safe location and avoid contact with other dogs.

“Rossy was an excellent sitter for my shy kitty. Not only did she keep her food and water topped off and litter clean, but she also put in a lot of effort to interact with my cat who, unfortunately, hid the whole time. It was so nice knowing that my kitty was at least having someone there to spend time with her, even if she was too scared to come out. I would highly recommend Rossy and will definitely book her in the future!!”

“Leah was fantastic, so detail-oriented and communicative—reading the summaries she wrote after each visit to Ivy (and seeing all the pictures!) made me so happy. And based on what I saw in the summaries, Ivy really enjoyed spending time with her. It made our first trip away from Ivy much less stressful to know that she was so well cared for.”

“Coleman is a true gem! Our poodle Coby is very attached to us and usually gets anxious when we leave—even if just one of us steps out. So we were absolutely amazed at how relaxed he was with Coleman. From the moment Coleman arrived, Coby liked him. Coleman clearly has a calm, kind energy that animals pick up on right away. Coby was so content during Coleman’s stay that he didn’t even wake up when we returned home—he stayed fast asleep on his bed! That has never happened before. Coleman is friendly and trustworthy. You'll enjoy having him in your home. We’re so grateful to have found someone we can trust with our beloved pup. Highly, highly recommend Coleman!”

“They took very good care of my cat while I was away visiting family! My cat is very shy and skiddish, but they were sure to include a photo of him in his hiding-hole every visit so that I knew he was okay. They gave me text updates whenever anything came up (which wasn't often since everything ran so smoothly). Everything was respectfully as I found it when I returned, and they even brought in an expected package while I was away. I highly recommend them and would book again anytime!”

“Teri is so clearly an animal lover. Took outstanding care of my cat, going above and beyond, and is highly reliable and responsive. Fully recommend!!”

“Tina was great! This was the second time that she the drop-in visits for my cat and I would definitely use her the next time I have to go out of town.”

About: I have always been the animal person in my family, and my community. I’ve always had dogs in my life, but where I’m living I can’t have one of my own, so I’m more than happy to take care of your pets when you need a break! I currently am not working, and I have a farm job starting in June. My availability is very flexible, so more time for hanging out with pups! I can’t bring pets home, but I am very experienced with walking dogs and getting them the exercise they need. I can give your animals lots of love and attention and make sure they are safe and healthy.

“Christina clearly loves animals and has lots of experience with them. She was reliable and did a great job taking care of our kittens. She gave us daily updates with pictures and was even able to add on an extra day of care with short notice. Highly recommended!”

“Genel cared for our difficult border collie over a long weekend. She communicated with us frequently and kept a good schedule. We felt very confident and comfortable with his care. Thanks Genel!”
