McKenzie was fantastic and took care of our two cats while we were away. She went the extra mile and even swept up the litter they were tracking through the house. We would definitely recommend her and will be using her again!

About: I have 5 years of pet care experience and truly enjoy spending time with dogs. I have cared for dogs for family, friends, and neighbors, including walking, feeding, playing, giving fresh water, cleaning up after them, and keeping them comfortable while their owners are away. I am patient, gentle, and responsible, and I always try to follow each pet parent’s instructions carefully. I understand that every dog has its own personality, routine, and comfort level, so I take time to make pets feel safe and cared for. Pet care fits well into my daily routine because I am usually home and able to give pets regular attention throughout the day. I can help with feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and check-ins. I try to keep each pet’s routine as close as possible to what they are used to at home. I have a fenced-in house with 4 bedrooms, so I can safely keep pets separated when needed. This is helpful for pets who need quiet space, slow introductions, or extra comfort. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully for feeding, walks, medications, and routines. I keep the home clean, safe, and calm, and I make sure pets are supervised and comfortable during their stay.

About: I’ve had many dogs throughout my life. I’m truly a dog lover through and through. Close friends and family have always trusted me to care for their babies. We can play fetch, we can take walks, we can just hangout or I can just come by to feed them, let them outside and give them water! I fit pet care into my daily schedule any time I can. I work at a salon where i’m able to leave and come back based on gaps in my daily schedule. I will stop by before work in the morning and after work in the evening and if possible, I will come by some time in between if needed! I can also stay at the house to keep your babies company if that’s what you prefer! I will stop by as many times as you prefer to check in on your babies or I am willing to stay there while you’re gone!

About: We welcome housebroken dogs of all shapes, sizes, and breeds into our home. Our home is 100% pet friendly. Your housebroken dog will have full access to our home and fenced yard. We have a kennel if your dog prefers to sleep in one, or they are free to sleep anywhere in our home. Your dog will be part of our family! About this sitter: Your pet is most comfortable in their own home. Some pets are anxious and scared when their owners are away. Having me come to your home to care for your pets will allow them the security and comfort of being in their usual surroundings and able to be in their normal routine. During each visit, I will ensure your pet is fed, given time outside (as needed), and given lots of individual attention and play time. Why I love dog sitting I've been an animal lover all my life, and in particular, I have loved dogs since I can remember. My family always had dogs when I was growing up. I've been married for over 30 years and we have had at least one dog in the house at all times, but usually two or three. About my yard We live on 7 acres. There is a doggie door that leads to a fenced-in area. There are also trails through the woods for walks and open areas for play. Additionally, we have a comfortable deck in the fenced area in the event your dog wants to lay outside while at my home. My experience administering medication Yes. I have extensive experience giving dogs tablets and pills, applying various ointments and creams, and administering eye, nose, and ear drops. My husband and I recently retired to Skaneateles, so we are home almost all the time! Your pet(s) will have constant companionship while in our home. Your pet(s) will have full access to our home; however, I have a crate if preferred. Only my husband and I live in our home, so your pet(s) will feel safe and no strangers will be here.

About: I have my own cat Anya and she is one of the most important things to me. I’ve always had a special connection with animals. Since I was young, I could always connect with other people’s pets, many times they would say wow he/she never let’s anyone do that etc. I often feel that I connect better with animals than with people.” I work at a kennel in auburn ny from 8am to 10am in the morning and evening from 4-5:30 but before and after that I try to fill in my time as much as possible seeing and taking care of as many animals as possible I have my own cat Anya but as far as taking care of your animals it would have to be at your place of residence. I offer walking, sitting, overnights, feeding etc. I don’t board any more pets at my residence.

About: Dogs have always been an important part of my life. I currently care for a Bullmastiff and previously owned a Pug who lived to be 16 years old, giving me firsthand experience with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and ages. I understand the importance of patience, consistency, exercise, and companionship. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping your dog company, I will provide the same level of care and attention that I give my own pets. I recently graduated from college, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability to care for your pets. Whether your dog needs a walk, drop-in visit, playtime, or overnight care, I can provide dependable attention and companionship. I understand how important consistency is for pets and will work with you to meet your dog’s specific needs and routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. As a longtime dog owner, I understand that every dog has different needs, personalities, and routines. I will carefully follow your instructions regarding feeding, exercise, medications, and any special care requirements. I am attentive, responsible, and committed to creating a safe, positive, and stress-free experience for your pet while you’re away.

Morgan watched our dogs while we went on vacation. They seemed to really like her. We had to request she extend her drop ins a full day when our flights were delayed, and she agreed without hesitation. A truly great dog sitter!
