Information Aleta C. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your cat has any special needs that I should account for. I am comfortable with administering oral medications if needed.

A typical day

Activities depend on the interest and energy level of each individual cat. For those interested in playing, I engage with various toys. Those who prefer attention/affection, I give pets and scratches. And those wanting space I provide company from a distance.

Peppy Pet Care!

Pet care experience

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.

Aleta took wonderful care of our dog, Lulu! It was clear from the start that she genuinely loves animals and knows how to make them feel comfortable and safe. Lulu had a great time with her, and we received updates that gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. When we picked Lulu up, she was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. Aleta is reliable, kind, communicative, and professional. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy dog sitter. Thank you, Aleta, for taking such great care of our girl!

Aleta was great! Loved all the attention my cats were getting while I was away. Aleta made sure to send lots of photos too.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
