“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!”
“Our pets (dog, cat and fish) were very well taken care of by Chris while we were away for over a week. Chris asked lots of detailed questions, sent regular updates, and even got to pet our very shy kitty, who is terrified of strangers. Everyone was very happy and healthy upon our return. We will definitely book with Chris again.”
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!
About: I am very intuitive to what animals needs are. I’m patient and pets safety is my top priority! Comforting animals is a blessing that I can’t get enough of! My hours are a bit flexible but I am mainly have a lot of free time on Mondays & Fridays from 2-7. Saturdays and Sundays I am completely available. First off, I always read the directions multiple times. Make sure their food and leashes are easy to find. Then I always check the backyard before letting a dog out. I want to be sure there are no gaps in the fences or any other large wildlife they may want to chase. If in case of emergency, I would love to know what veterinary practice is used and emergency contacts if I’m not able to make direct contact.

We will definitely have Debbie take care of our giant fur babies again in the future.”

Monique J.
“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.”
Eva B.
“Eva has pet sat for my sweet boy (cat), Simon, periodically for over a year. Initially I was nervous because he is a shy boy, but Eva is a true animal whisperer and he took right to her! Each time she stays with him I receive frequent picture updates which gives me peace of mind - not too mention she is a gifted photographer! I feel so much less anxiety going out of town knowing I can always rely on her to watch Simon. She is very friendly and personable and a pleasure to work with- would recommend!”

Aaron F.
“Aaron is one of the most kind, gentle souls I’ve ever met. I’ve known him for over 22 years, and I can confidently say there are few in this world I trust more than him. 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.”
Patricia B.
“Patricia house-sat for 10 days with our dog, Charlie. Charlie was as happy as can be when we returned. Patricia kept in touch, sent updates and photos and knows a lot about dog care and educated us.

Joseph L.
“Joey watches my dog very often when I am working overnights and out of town! Louie loves when he comes over and when I say “Joey is watching him”. He is always very tired because they played so hard and always has enough food and water. Definitely recommend joey to watch your pet…treats them like his own!”
Marisa C.
“We can't say enough about how wonderful Marisa is! It was abundantly clear she genuinely loves animals. She provided regular updates with adorable photos, making sure our two girls were getting plenty of exercise, cuddles, and attention, along with our outdoor flock. She has even been a major asset to our outdoor landscaping , providing pruning for our fruit trees, and maintenance of our extensive vegetable and native gardens. Her plant knowledge is out of this world. We came home to two happy and relaxed dogs and a completely clean house! We absolutely recommend her highly to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.”
