I currently work as an intern from home as a student, which gives me plenty of flexibility in my schedule and lots of extra time for cuddles, playtime, and long walks. My husband and I always join visits together to ensure pets receive consistent, loving, round-the-clock care.

Pet care experience

I’ve had dogs my whole life and was lucky to spend 18 years with my Boston Terrier, Mayflower, who recently crossed the rainbow bridge. She and Piccolo were the best of friends, and raising them together has been one of the greatest joys of my life. I’ve worked with many long term clients, caring for their dogs from puppyhood through adulthood. I currently work mostly home while finishing my graduate internship at Columbia, so I have plenty of time and flexibility to give pups lots of attention. I am gone 3 hours a day Monday-Friday working at the Trumansburg Library, which is less than a 5 minute drive from our home. My husband always joins me for visits and meet and greets. If that’s not something you’re comfortable with, I may not be the right sitter for you. We love showing up as a team to provide safe, loving, and consistent care. When I’m not dog sitting, I love hiking, backpacking, and camping, and Piccolo often comes along for the adventure. Dogs are my family, and I can’t wait to meet yours!

We cannot say enough wonderful things about Kyle and Max! They took amazing care of our golden retriever, Harry, for five days and treated him like he was part of their family. From the moment we dropped him off, we knew he was in great hands. Kyle and Max kept Harry entertained, active, and happy with plenty of adventures, playtime, and attention. The photos and updates they sent gave us so much peace of mind and made it clear just how much love and care they were giving him. Harry came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. It was obvious that they took the time to get to know his personality and made sure he felt comfortable and loved while we were away. If you're looking for someone who will treat your dog like their own, we highly recommend Kyle and Max. We are incredibly grateful for everything they did for Harry and would not hesitate to book with them again! Thank you both for giving Harry such a fun-filled and loving home away from home! He misses you already.🐾❤️

Max and Kyle were fantastic! They came by promptly, spent plenty of time to check on our pets (1 dog, 2 cats), and shared photos at every visit. When we came back, our pets were happy and healthy, and it was clear that they were well cared for.
