“It has been such a pleasure getting to know Kait before her upcoming week stay with our dogs! Our dogs seem to love her already and she’s so friendly, courteous, dependable, positive, and knowledgeable. So grateful to have found her!”

“Beth was fantastic. Sent great updates (even when my cat was being skittish) and made last minute extra drop ins for my cat when we got delayed getting home. Very friendly and communicative.”


“Naomi is our “go-to” caregiver for our cats, she goes above and beyond to make sure they’re taken care of and we can relax while we’re away knowing that she’s always quick to communicate, she’s reliable, trustworthy and clearly cares about our pets.”


“Elizabeth was fantastic with our dogs! She was reliable, communicative, and clearly loves animals. We returned from our trip and found our animals were happy and well cared for. Elizabeth went above and beyond and made sure our dogs had comfort during fireworks which typically cause them to have high anxiety. I’ll definitely book with them again!”



“Emma was extremely reliable and communicative. She let Leo express his needs (play, cuddling, chilling) and gave him the attention and time he needed. Her updates and pics let me know my cat was in good hands. I would highly recommend Emma for your cat sitting needs!”


About: Who better than a veterinarian to take care of your best buddies while you're away? I am a new DVM graduate, and am happy to take care of your pets, no matter how old or young, especially those with special needs! I am certified in dog/cat CPR, and am comfortable providing any care needed. *Please note*: My providing pet sitting/dog walking/pet care services does NOT constitute a VCPR, and I cannot provide medical advice unless a VCPR is explicitly established in accordance with NY State Law* I prefer to stay in the client's home especially for dogs as this is generally much more comfortable for the dog to stay in their own environment. For overnight stays, I like to meet the dogs beforehand with owners present. This way they are assured it is okay to have me in their space for staying with them.

“Ethan may have a soft spot for dogs, but it's clear that all creatures trust him. Our four cats warmed up faster than I've ever seen, and our three skittish hens were happy and excited when we got home. Thanks for the great care you took Ethan! 🙂”


“Dawn is reliable, thoughtful and caring. We entrusted her with the care of our cat for 10 days, and everything was perfect. We would ask for her service again without hesitation. I highly recommend her, your pet can'tbe in better hands!”


About: I’ve loved animals all my life. I have a very vivid memory of fishing with my father. We caught a fish the size of a silver dollar. Thrilled to throw it back my father stopped me and proceeded to cut the fish up for bait. I cried for so long that day. Looking back it’s pretty funny that it stayed with me. Presently that experience reverberates through my life in small cries during commercials featuring animals doing sweet/sad things, and big sobs in the theater when one is lost on screen. I’m an owner of 2 cats. Both are very sweet. One is more curious and the other more apprehensive (he hides when we have other animal visitors). I’ve raised 3 dogs and have fostered once before. I’ve worked at a Veterinary Clinic back in Texas and have experience with giving oral medication as well as subcutaneous injections. I give 2 shots to my own twice daily so I’m very familiar with it. I go to school full-time and I only live 7 minutes away from school! My classes during the week are usually 3 hours long with at least 3 hours in-between classes. Friday through Sunday my attention is all to your fur baby. I have a small open yard with a leash anchor so your pet can enjoy time outside with a sense of freedom and supervision during outside time. There are trails close to my house for walking and our small neighborhood has a 30 mph speed limit. If your pet is crate trained I can accommodate a crate in a large well lit kitchen or an equally well lit cozy upstairs bedroom. Either way under supervision your pet has full access to my couch and home to be as comfortable as they need. If they require smaller spaces my bedroom (cats not allowed upstairs) is free to roam as well. No human food is easily accessible in the house due to my own pets’ dietary issues. I’m happy to communicate most times of the day through text or app for updates on your loved one.

About: I've loved and cared for dogs and cats since I was a child. I now work remotely, so I can be quite flexible in terms of care and stays. While I live in Homer, NY, I currently work remotely. My schedule is extremely flexible, even with short notice. And I love pets of all types of sizes. While I do not currently have pets of my own, I lived as both a kid and adult with both dogs and cats. I'll keep them safe and shower them with love!

“Mackenzie was great! She connected with our cats so well and captured their personalities in daily update photos. Mackenzie is very responsive and reliable and we will be reaching out to her again. Thanks Mackenzie!!”


“Candyse did drop in visits with my shy cat and she did a wonderful job! She tried to play with him but overall respected his boundaries and didn't force him out from under the bed, which I really appreciate. Asked permission to bring her daughter to play with my cat, so your pets will be well entertained (if they so choose)”


About: Hello, My name is Monique. I currently have 2 dogs of my own that, I only just realized have officially entered seniorhood. I currently work at a local vet clinic here in Ithaca so I am also up to date and knowledgable about different breeds,foods, treats, and everything cat and dog! Ive been pet sitting and walking since the age of 13 Which has helped me learn all about caring for animals at all ages. From 4 weeks up till seniority, I can do it all and love every minute of it. Taking care of animals is something im extremely passionate about. I would love the opportunity to meet you and your furry(or feathered or scaled) friend! I currently do work full time and have 2 kidsof my own; and my work schedule does change from week to week but with a little bit of planning, im able to make most things work! Never be afraid to ask if you dee something and are unsure if im the right fit for you! Rover inly lets me specify certain details. I take all safety precautions, double leashes, prong collars(if provided), harnessed walkes, anything that YOU say works best for your pet, I am doing. I dont like to take the risk!

“Chantal did a wonderful job watching Luna while I was away! She was very responsive, provided me plenty of updates, and left my apartment in great condition. I would definitely recommend her!!”


About: I’ve taken care of our family dogs, cats and chickens for over 20 years. Our animals are a part of our family and are treated as such! Good exercise, healthy food and regular grooming are essential to taking good care of our pets! Although I am a full time teacher, our dogs are walked twice daily. Our dogs are brushed out daily to maintain their coat. I ensure that our animals receive the care and attention needed to feel loved by and connected to us. Our dogs have a fenced in back yard for fetch and a nice neighborhood/pond area for walks. I will take good care of your animals by ensuring good exercise and care taking.

“Briana, and her little boy, always exceed expectations. My animals will be asking me to go back on the road just so they can see her again. Rover hasn’t recognized livestock yet, but Briana does!”


“Everything was fine and in order when I got home after about a week of being away. Vicki took good care of my kitty though she was lonely, scolded me for awhile. Vicki even filled the bird feeder!”



“I couldn't ask for anything better. Lindsay is simply fantastic. She was exceptional caring and loving with my cats, while extremely respectful when doing her tasks at my home. She went above and beyond my expectations.”


About: For as long as I can remember I have had a passion for caring for animals. I have had animals my entire life including dogs, cats and other small animals. I now have 4 years experience working professionally with dogs. I have worked at 2 different dog daycares. The first was training based where I got experience training basic obedience on top of having continued education in dog behavior and dog body language. The second daycare also did boarding which gave me even more experience in dog handling, preparing food, administering medication and taking care of up to 50 dogs at a time. Unfortunately I am only able to do pet sitting and dog walking a few days a week, however most of those days would be weekends Dogs need lots of exercise and enrichment, I’d love to help you with that! Either by a walk through town on a nice day or some enrichment and playtime at your home!

About: I'm Emily! I've taken care of a variety of different animals since I was very young, from dogs, cats, lizards, bunnies, chinchillas, guinea pigs etc. I've grown up living with dogs since I was a child so I'm extremely comfortable around many dog breeds big and small. Family, friends, neighbors and coworkers have relied on me for years to watch over, care for, walk, feed etc. their pets. I have lots of experience with big dogs and am really comfortable walking them, I grew up with 2 rottweilers and a great pyrenees so I'm used to a big dog on a leash. I am currently a college student with a light open schedule so I will be able to fit your needs pretty much however you need. I would make sure your pets safety is my number one priority and my second priority would be to make sure your furry friend is enjoying their time! We would play a bunch of games, go on walks (I have multiple woodsy paths near my home).

Every animal I’ve ever seen him with, including my own dog, is both safe and loved in his presence. I never let anyone other than my mother watch my dog, but if I needed to, I’d hand her to him without a second thought. He’s trustworthy and dependable in ways most could never achieve. I couldn’t possibly recommend him more to care for anyone’s pets. He is a diamond in the rough, and your pets will always be in great hands.”

“Monique is WONDERFUL! I actually met her at her job, Petland. I was shopping for a new collar and some toys for my boxer mix and I was going on about how I was trying to find someone to watch him for the weekend while I went away on business, and she mentioned that she actually did dog sitting and would love to do it. The next day I met with her and my little Billy got to see her house and meet her dogs, everyone immediately hit it off amd it was set! She sent me LOADS of pictures and videos of Billy having fun with her and her dogs, even ahowing me that she took him to the pool. It really helped reassure me, especially since this is the first time spending the weekend away from him. She really is the greatest and her love for dogs is evident.”
