“Margaret took great care of our senior dog Rocco, and cared for my aquariums too! The neighbors now know and like her as they run into each other on walks. Dog party! We are very happy with her care and we don’t worry knowing she’s there.”
“Cori & Jamie are fantastic with our pups. Our dogs have some quirks and Cori & Jamie handle them with ease, taking excellent care of our doggos and making sure they’re happy and healthy. They send fantastic pictures and updates and are in tune with our dogs moods. Couldn’t recommend more!”
“My dogs loved her and she was very responsive putting all my worries to rest. I recommend Kendra, she is very friendly and goes above and beyond for your pets.”
“Kristi was so great with our 2 little guys. She went out of her way to come to our house for a meet-and-greet and then came back another time to go over procedures, feeding, etc. It’s very hard to leave your home and pups in the care of a stranger, but Kristi put us at ease right away and didn’t feel like a stranger at all. She provided lots of updates and we were able to enjoy attending our nephew’s wedding without having to worry at all!”

About: I have over 10 plus years caring for animals. I have experience with small or medium dogs and especially cats. Administering medications, walking, feeding, playtime and everything in between! Experience pet sitting for friends and family and experience caring for a movement impaired dog and diabetic cat. Im currently a Mechanic/Welder as a full time job Monday through Friday for a local company in Jamesville. Available anytime on weekends and limited availability on weekdays after 3:30 PM. I treat everyone’s pets and home as I would my own. Drug free, non smoker and very respectful. The safety of your property and pets is my top priority.

“Riley did a great job taking care of my for children. I receive lots of photos and interaction for the long weekend that I was gone. I will definitely use him in the future if he is available.”
About: While growing up, there were always 6 dogs in the house ranging from chow chows to a small morkie. With my friends and family, I’m the first one on-call to watch their furry friends. I’ve taken care of a Great Pyrenees puppy all the way to a 15 yr old chihuahua. I’m open to overnight pet sitting or even a simple walk :) I typically work Tuesday through Saturday during the day. So I’d be available for morning walks, morning and afternoon potty breaks, or even overnight stays! Sundays and Mondays I have open availability! Since every dog is different, I try to gauge the typical day based on the information provided. If your pup is very social and loves to explore, I’ll bring them on a scenic walk. If you have couch potato, that’s no problem at all!
About: I have helped take care of the pets in my family since I was little! I love the distinct personalities and quirks that different animals have. Spending time with animals is good for the soul and I would love to help take care of them in my free time! I am currently working part time, and need to be in Oswego on Wednesdays and Fridays until 4. I particularly enjoy going for walks on these days to move after a drive. I am free the rest of the week and available on weekends! I follow the directions given to me for petcare, and make sure animals get plenty of attention and play time while their owners are gone while being respectful to their space.

Margaret stopped by our house to meet Ruck before sitting for a few days. Margaret followed our instructions to a tee and provided us with photos each time she stopped by to Ruck for a walk.
Kate was great! She provided daily updates, house was in great condition when we returned from our two week trip, dogs were happy and well cared for, would definitely recommend and will use again!
Tammy did a great job dogsitting at my home. My dog enjoyed her company! She commmunicated well with photos.
Cori and Jamie were fantastic! They watched my doberman while I was gone for several days. They were very responsive and gave Zara lots of love. Highly recommend!
Amoreena took great care of our dog, Rosie, while we were away for the weekend. We loved the frequent updates and photos. When we got home, Rosie was calm and happy. We will definitely be booking with Amoreena again.
Alex took great care of our cat, Lillie. They appeared to get along very well. She kept us up to date with pictures and left a complete summary of her care. Highly recommend.
Cammie did everything I asked her to, sent pictures and reports on the dogs. I would easily have her dog sit again

As usual, everything was great!!! We don't know what we'd do without Adriana to take care of our pack!
We have a special needs dog who doesn't prefer meeting new people. Hannah was great about understanding our dog's needs and was patient about meeting him several times to allow him to get comfortable before the first longer stay. She was great about communicating and sharing pictures. It was a relief to know our dog was at home in good hands while we were traveling!
Such a sweetheart to work with and incredibly reliable. I look forward to working with her again in the future!
Exceptional! Great communication. Last minute accommodating. I came home to a cleaner home then I left it. Pups were in great spirits! Thank you so much!
Kara was a fantastic caregiver for my two dogs. She was a pleasure to communicate with, gave me peace of mind while I was away, and ensured that my larger dog got plenty of exercise. I highly recommend hiring her!
Our dog, Oso, loved James. He got the best walks and lots of attention while we were away. We'd definitely recommend James!
Madison was wonderful with Zoey, our elderly dog with some specific needs. We would recommend her as a pet caretaker. Thank you for taking great care of her while we were out of town!
Audrey was very flexible and sent updates of how Keiko was doing while she stayed with her. Very kind and understanding!
August is my go to sitter for my reactive cattle dog. He’s communicative, leaves my house cleaner than I left it, and best of all he loves my Roxy Jewel and she loves him. Wholeheartedly recommend him for any pet.
So happy that Savannah took care of my fur babies! I have a dog and a cat, and I enjoyed the daily updates and photos. She was always so pleasant to communicate with and took wonderful care of my home also. My cat, who is not friendly with everybody but immediately came over to meet her when she came in the first time, and I thought that was pretty impressive. I highly recommend her for any fur baby and house sitting gig!
