House Sitting in Montour Falls

“I hesitate to write this because I want Claudia all to myself whenever we go away from now on! She is responsive, responsible, our house was as we left it and our pups and plants were well cared for and happy. Will definitely use her again and again as long as she’s willing!”

Melanie S.

“Sarah stayed i our home and took excellent care of our cat while we were away. We definitely recommend Sarah for anyone looking for a caring and responsible pet companion!”

Erica T.

“We are so glad we found such a nice place for our anxious old dog to stay when we have to go out of town. Hanna accommodated all of our dog's needs. We'll definitely use Hanna again.”

About: I did the animal science program at boces for 2 years where I got to get hands on experience with all kinds of animals such as taking care of dogs. Due to taking the animal science program I am certified as a veterinary assistant. Right now I’m also going to school for my bachelors degree in canine training and management. I also have 2 cats of my own that I’ve had and taken care of since I was 11. Heads up I have 2 cats at home still so for boarding requests I cannot accept cat reactive dogs. It fits into my schedule for the summer because of college break because I won’t have school at all and I’ll be able to give a most of my time to your pets although I do have work Monday Wednesday and Thursday. Although since Monday Wednesday and Thursday I have work from 8 to 11:30 so if doing a boarding I wouldn’t be back home until 4 because of transportation depending so dogs have to be okay being home alone for a little bit. If I do house sitting I cannot get to a house after 7am and before 4pm due to transportation because I cannot drive due to medical reasons and only have transportation before 7am and after 4pm. Be up front and open. Follow and respect the animals and if you go to the home respect and follow the rules. I don’t have a fenced in yard.

About: With years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and energy levels, I provide thoughtful, personalized care that goes beyond just feeding and walking. From spirited puppies to mellow senior cats, I’ve supported animals through every life stage—with plenty of love, patience, and play along the way. I’m confident handling multiple pets, giving medications (including oral and topical), and creating calm environments for anxious animals. I’ve worked with high-energy dogs who need structured adventure walks, and I’ve soothed shy rescue cats who just need quiet companionship and gentle care. My own life is full of furry friends, and I truly treat every pet like family. Whether your companion needs a hiking buddy, a cozy lap to nap on, or a sitter who takes litter box duties seriously—I’ve got you covered. As a homeschool mom who works from home, caring for pets fits seamlessly into my daily rhythm. Our days are structured but flexible, which means your pet gets plenty of attention, playtime, and consistent care throughout the day. Whether it’s taking a dog on a midday adventure walk or giving a cat some quiet companionship while I work, your pet becomes part of our loving, pet-friendly home environment. My kids are gentle and respectful animal lovers, so there’s always someone nearby ready to offer an extra cuddle or throw a toy. Because I'm home most of the time, I’m able to give pets a calm, consistent presence—perfect for those who get anxious when their humans are away. Pet care isn’t a side gig—it’s part of our family’s lifestyle. I provide loving and attentive care in your pet’s own environment, helping them feel safe and comfortable while you're away. Whether it’s regular walks, playtime, or giving medications, I follow your pet’s routine to ensure consistency and minimize stress. I’m also happy to clean up after them, including litter boxes or any messes, to keep their space tidy and calm. During my visits, I focus on creating a nurturing, stress-free atmosphere for your pet. I’ll send you updates and pictures, so you can rest easy knowing your pet is in great hands. Whether it’s feeding, playtime, or extra cuddles, I’m dedicated to providing the best care, right in the comfort of your home.

“Ashley is really great with dogs! She knows how to interact with them and give them lots of love! She kept me updated throughout the whole sitting.”

Carolina M.

“She was so sweet! Great communicator, responsible, on time . I felt very at ease leaving Roxanne with Kia at my home overnight :) Definitely would love to have Roxanne watch my fur baby again!”

Tessie K.

“Julia did an amazing job pet sitting the weekend of our wedding! She gave us updates on how our dogs were doing and left our house very clean when she left. She’s responsible and very kind. We would definitely use her again!”

Hayley C.

“Five Stars for Coleman! Coleman is a true gem! Our poodle Coby is very attached to us and usually gets anxious when we leave—even if just one of us steps out. So we were absolutely amazed at how relaxed he was with Coleman. From the moment Coleman arrived, Coby liked him. Coleman clearly has a calm, kind energy that animals pick up on right away. Coby was so content during Coleman’s stay that he didn’t even wake up when we returned home—he stayed fast asleep on his bed! That has never happened before. We’re so grateful to have found someone we can trust with our beloved pup. Highly, highly recommend Coleman!”

About: Responsible and caring. I want to be sure all their needs are met so they are comfortable and safe. Pets deserve to be treated well. I have spare time to help a family out with their pets. I am truly committed to the time slots I say I am available. I have an indoor cat, but he loves to go outside, so I put a collar and a leash on him and take him out daily.

About: I have always been the animal person in my family, and my community. I’ve always had dogs in my life, but where I’m living I can’t have one of my own, so I’m more than happy to take care of your pets when you need a break! I currently am not working, and I have a farm job starting in June. My availability is very flexible, so more time for hanging out with pups! I can’t bring pets home, but I am very experienced with walking dogs and getting them the exercise they need. I can give your animals lots of love and attention and make sure they are safe and healthy.

“She was wonderful! I didn't have to worry about my dogs being taken care of or coming home to a mess. My dogs were well loved and my house was the same as I left it! I was sent pictures and kept in communication with Kimberly! I'd highly recommend her!”

Samantha D.

“Sarah was so amazing with my two dogs. They are a little slow to warm up and she was patient with them and loved on them just as I would. She walks them and sends me updates as much as I need!! If I lived here full time, she would be my go to!”

Meghan F.

“Kaitlin was AMAZING! We are so pleased with the care she gave our dog and two cats.”

Lauren M.

“Teri was the best we could hope for to care for our dogs while we celebrated our anniversary. Being away from home, you want someone who they take to right away and will go the extra mile to make sure they’re well cared for.”

Will V.

“Daisy was great! Arrived on time, kept in communication while we were gone, and followed all directions. Will definitely be using her again!”

Deidre D.

About: I’ve pet sat for family members but I’ve also and still currently pet sit for previous teachers. I’ve done an internship at a vet clinic. I completed boces which made me a certified veterinary assistant. I worked at the SPCA while finishing up college. Volunteered at Tanglewood Nature Center. Depending on my work schedule I spend as much time as possible outside of work with your pets. I don’t leave them alone for long at all. I’m easy going, my dog gets crated when I’m not home. I will make sure nothing is sitting out that could potentially harm an animal

“Tabitha was so great with our cat Yuki. They sent lots of pictures and videos. They were a great communicator, very reliable and took excellent care of Yuki and our house while we were away.”

About: I have had pets all my life starting at a young age. I have always taken pride in the ability to take care of and enjoy the time learning and playing with them. They are just as much part of the family as anyone else in the house. We currently have 3 dogs; an American Bully and 2 Pitties that have become a huge part of our family. I work full time, however, have a couple hours each evening throughout the week and also have availability on most weekends after 9am as first thing in the morning is time for our dogs to go out and play. We have 3 acres for our dogs to roam on electric collars. They respect the collars enough we are able to let them roam free off leash all the time.
