Top rated New Hartford pet sitters

“Justin was amazing. Followed instructions, was timely and took some really great photos with every check in. He went above and beyond what we expected of a cat sitter. While we were away there was a leak caused by our AC unit, he not only took precautions to contain the leak but continued to monitor and control it with every check in. Because of him we returned not only to a happy kitty but also an undamaged home.”


“Samantha was amazing with our 2 older cats! They are very shy but were both comfortable every time she came over, and she helped out with insulin injections for our diabetic cat as well. I would recommend anyone who needs help with their pets to contact Samantha!”


“Hunter went above and beyond while caring for our three cats for this past week. When the storm was approaching, she texted me to see if I wanted her to put our water bowls in case the power went out. It did, and she did put water out. From the pics, I could tell that Emma warmed up to Hunter right away. Iris got her pills even though she was skittish. Thank you, Hunter, for taking care of the kids.”


“Super happy with how communicative Loren was. She was patient with my little princess and spent a lot of time playing with her. I will definitely recommend Loren as well as book her again!”


“Theresa was so wonderful with our 2 dogs. We had her do drop-in visits at our home while we were away. She fed them, let them outside, gave them treats, played with them and sat with them for a while. She left pictures and videos each time and she was so great, highly recommend!!”


“My husband and I knew upon meeting Tara for the first time that she was the perfect fit with our cat, Charlie. Charlie is very shy and usually hides when people come to visit. However, this was not the case when Tara entered our home. Tara did a top-notch job taking care of Charlie during her drop in visits over a period of one month. We were so happy when she sent up pictures and updates. Tara is reliable, kind, professional, and a true animal lover. Cats can be messy with the litter, etc. But with Tara on the job, we came home to a very neat home and well-fed, content cat. We will definitely seek Tara services again. Furthermore, we highly recommend her. Thanks a million, Tara.”


“Caroline was amazing! I had a last minute request for a drop in visit for my dog and she was super quick to respond, very communicative and was wonderful to work with. I would definitely rebook her the next time I need someone to walk my dog! Thank you, Caroline!”


About: I’ve taken care of my personal dogs as well as friends and family dogs for years now. I am experienced with dogs of all sizes, as well as all personalities. I am familiar with low energy and high energy breeds, and know how to cater to each of them. I also specialize in dogs that have anxiety as well as reactivity, and know how to monitor their behavior and understand them in a way that most humans and other animals do not. I currently work full time, Monday-Friday so all animals would need to be able to be home alone for around 8-9 hours during the weekdays. My current hours are 6:30am-3pm, so I make a point to be available in the morning before I leave for work, and then after I return from work. This also applies to drop-ins. I make a point to be fully available on weekends since I am away often during the weekdays, but am also home early enough during the week that I can spend the afternoon, evening, and night with your furry little ones. I will care for your pets by following the owners’ and pets’ needs, I never stray from instructions. I will ensure safety precautions are always taken, as your animals safety is my highest priority.

About: Hi, I'm Rusty! I've spent my entire life caring for dogs and truly believe that pets are family, deserving only the best walks and care. With experience handling a wide variety of breeds, sizes, and needs, I’m ready to offer your dog the attention they deserve. As a recent retiree, I now have the time and passion to help your pups live their best life! 🐶 I have recently retired, so I have a very flexible schedule! I am available for dog walks and drop-in visits on weekdays between 8:00 A.M. and 3:00 P.M. I treat dogs with the same love and care as any family member. Each day, I ensure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. Whether it's a morning walk or playtime in the yard, I make sure they’re always happy and comfortable. I am attentive to their individual needs, providing them with a routine that keeps them healthy and active. I also make sure the dogs have fresh water at every visit. Above all, I believe in building a strong bond based on trust, love, and mutual respect, making sure they feel safe and loved every single day.

“Finding Midori to help with my dogs while I took a trip was truly a blessing. I work from home and never leave my dogs so they have separation anxiety usually. I got videos from Midori showing how excited they were to see her every day that I was away. Lots of updates and communication which was greatly appreciated. She did a great job tiring them out and I’ll be trusting her in the future for my future trips and sitter needs!”

About: I have taken care of multiple pets since I was 6 years old. I have had dogs and cats and truly enjoy spending time with animals and providing quality care. I am available during work hours this summer, so I would be able to provide care any time during the week and at varying hours on the weekends. I currently would be more comfortable coming to a clients home to play/ give proper needs to a clients pet. I will take pets on walks and going to dog parks!

About: I’ve had dogs for most of my life and have been pet sitting on the side for over 2 and a half years now! I mostly do overnights, making sure dogs are well taken care of and attended to. I am currently pet sitting full time, so I will be available almost every day, at any given time! Whether that’s a drop in visit or an overnight stay!
