“🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 While we were away in Cooperstown watching our boys play baseball, Rover made sure our pup was having just as much fun as we were! We received tons of photo updates—she always looked so happy, playing with the other dogs in a beautiful, spacious setting. It was clear she was well cared for and loved every minute. Knowing she was safe and enjoying herself gave us complete peace of mind. Highly recommend!”
“I found a Blue Ribbon dog sitter in Nicole! She takes my dog Poppy to her house and is very punctual in drop off and return. She says her kids love having Poppy stay with them. I feel absolutely free from any worry and Poppy loves to see me again upon return.”
“Jason was the perfect choice! Affordable, sweet, and fantastic with my Tunni! He was the only sitter who accepted my last minute Easter weekend booking and was so flexible when I requested pickup/drop-off changes. He's very personable and professional, and Tunni took to him and his pups (especially sweet Sunny) right away! It was a great play date for her and I'll absolutely hire him again in the future! He's worth the 45 minute drive! Thanks so much, Jason! :)”
“Brittany was very responsive from the beginning. She took great care of Maple, sent some pictures while we were gone and gave Maple lots of attention so we could spend the day in Cooperstown with our kids. Thanks Brittany!”
“Jenny is super easy to communicate with and flexible! She’s very friendly and I felt my dog was very safe with her. We actually needed to cancel our booking so Daisy only spent a few hours with her but she had already sent us a photo! I will definitely be booking with Jenny in the future.”
“Steve was able to dog sit my puggle Chomps on such short notice. This was my first time leaving my dog with someone other than family and I was hesitant in using a dog sitting service. Upon meeting Steve I felt comfortable in leaving Chomps with him. Steve sent me pictures of Chomps during his stay. He was also extremely accomodating, as we were returning from our trip a little later than anticipated. When we arrived to pick him up, Chomps did not even want to get into the car to leave. Chomps and I both give Steve two paws up!! I would highly recommend Steve and would absolutely request his services again in the future. ??”
“Gilbert was fantastic with Chance. I received at least daily pictures and updates on how Chance was doing. Gilbert also dropped in to take care of my cat while we were away and did a wonderful job with him too. I appreciate everything Gilbert did and would not hesitate to hire him again. He is the BEST! Thank you Gilbert…. Until next time! 😁😁”
About: I’ve cared for animals my entire life, from cats & dogs to fluffy chinchillas! I have special experience working with powerful breeds, including retired and aspiring K9s, as well as senior & special needs pets. My home comes equipped with accessiblity tools like pet stairs & ramps suitable for even larger dogs. Our quarter acre is unfenced, but we do have a small enclosed area off the porch & several long leads to enjoy more of the grassy lawn. Safety is paramount. I’m comfortable giving medication, following specialized diets, & assisting with mobility issues. I’m an experienced pet parent who just said goodbye to my 17 year old rescue pitbull; I’d like to open my now-too-quiet home to your beloved family members. 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️ friendly ❤️ I’m a professional writer who works exclusively from home. My flexible schedule allows me to cater to any specific needs, take all the potty breaks, and ensure both enriching play & restorative snuggles. And treats, of course! I have a fenced potty area off my porch for easy quick breaks, and several long leads for exploring the unfenced portions of the property. My senior dog recently passed away but she left soft beds in every room, jars of treats, and a big basket of toys I know she’d love to share.
“Melissa was very patient and kind with our dog who has some anxiety issues. She is clearly very experienced with a wide range of dogs, and attuned to their individual needs. We’ll be using her again!”
“Kylie was an amazing dog sitter for my dog Hershey. She was punctual at pick up and drop off and gave me updates about my dog’s stay with her. She was very accommodating and took great care of my dog during my time away. Would highly recommend her.”
