“Our dogs loved having Lee stay with them while we were gone. Lee provided daily updates and was quick to respond to questions. We appreciate the love and care she gave to our dogs and home.”


“We have two VERY different dogs. One is elderly, does not get around well anymore, and can be a bit stand-offish. The other is young, large, energetic, and can be protective and anxious, especially at first. John was very accommodating and patient when first meeting Abby and Archie in a meet-and-greet, as well as when he came to spend the day with them. By the end of the day, he and both dogs seemed to have bonded well. John was respectful of our home, listened carefully to all of our instructions and suggestions, and followed through well with all of them. We would definitely call on John again!”


“Logan went above and beyond while watching our fur babies, especially for being a busy . Everything was well taken care of, from our pets to our house! He is extremely communicative, detail oriented, thoughtful and caring. Anyone would do well to trust him with their animals. We will absolutely”


“I cannot begin to show my appreciation for Gabriella. This was the first time we left the boys alone for a week and I was super stressed, she alleviated all of that stress and we were able to relax in vacation. She took such good care of my babies!”


“Taryn did a wonderful job taking care of my dog while I was in Asia. I received numerous photos and updates and felt so relieved my girl was taken care of. Thank you, Taryn!!”


“This is our second time working with Dana. She is the absolute best! Having her do overnights with our pets lets us relax while we’re away because we know they’re in good hands. Dana is very trustworthy, easy to work with, and always sending photos of the pets. Our dog adores her. We will definitely be booking again in the future. Thanks Dana!”


“Sam was awesome. We have a very energetic persistent dog who loves to play fetch. Sam accommodated him very well and he loved her. I highly recommend her. She is very good with dogs and understands them.”


About: I have cared for my own dog for the past 13 years and sadly he died in February 2025. I walked him around my neighborhood consistently for all those years and now having that routine gone is difficult. Before having him as my own, I also helped take care of my families dog for several years. I am experienced in caring for dogs of all ages and demeanors and all sizes too :) I am attending SUNY Cortland right now and that is the only large barrier in my weekly schedule. I can care and/or walk dogs after 7pm on Monday and Wednesdays. I am available after 4pm on Tuesday and Thursday. Friday and Saturday I can provide care all day with a days notice. Without notice I will most likely be working on Friday and therefore not available until after 4pm that day. I can house-sit on Fridays and Saturdays and into Sunday afternoon as well! I will maintain a safe and calm environment for your pet while caring for them and allow them to initiate any desired games or actions. I am willing to accommodate however you prefer for your dog when caring for them, just let me know of anything necessary :) Any questions or concerns for your dog's care are welcomed and appreciated as I prefer a heads up in advance of anything unusual or to keep an eye out/for. Thanks :)

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. Developing trusting relationships with clients and delivering the service you expect is my goal.

“Hayley is amazing. She pays very close attention so she noticed quickly when one of our cats wasn’t acting normal. She got him help right away. She always takes great care of all of our furbabies!”

“Talitha completely exceeded my expectations. She is responsive, caring and treated our pets like her own. Even my very slow to warm up rescue pup loved her. Rates are very restorable as well especially since she lives 30-35 minutes away. 10 stars are deserved 🙂”

“Fiza was absolutely amazing. I was away for 8 nights and she stayed at my house and cared for my 2 labs. She was great. She checked in with me with updates and pix of my dogs a few times which was very nice. They had a blast with her. My house was perfect when I got home. 100% would have her stay again and would recommend.”


About: I grew up loving pets of all kinds. My dad is a retired dogsled racer and I've been around lots of dogs since I was 7 years old. Being introduced to dogs like that so young made me fascinated with them so I am overflowing wealth of knowledge when it comes to canines. I have 4 pets of my own so pet care is an integral part of my everyday routine. Feeding, walking, making sure they have water, pets, cuddles, and tons of affection! My own pets are my children. I don't have kids myself so I pour that love into them. I understand, like children, everyone is different with what rules and expectations they have for their pets. I will respect owners choices for their pets.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs all my life. Today I have a happy 11 year old Pomeranian mix. I grew up with black labs. I love to play fetch and hike with dogs whenever I can. I have a nice, safe yard for play time. I also live near a great dog park. I have taken care of dogs of all ages and make sure I understand their energy level and needs. I currently work from home and have flexible hours all week. I will have work meetings for a few hours a day. Looking forward to helping with your pup! I live in a home in a safe neighborhood, in Wappingers. Walking distance to parks. I am a responsible and will make sure your dog feels safe on our walks.

Pat has watched dogs many times over the years for family members and neighbors who needed his help. He will play with, walk, and keep your dog company. I’m sure your dog will love staying with Pat.”
