Hailly is the main reason we can get away and leave our mischievous high energy orange cat alone for a few days - we rest easy knowing she’s there to take care of him! She’s dependable, communicative, and flexible! She even made an emergency second trip one day for us - thank you Hailly you are the BEST and Henry Tunamac loves you 🥰

Brittany was a great help when we needed some flexible drop in visits for our dogs. She worked around our schedule, communicated clearly, sent pictures and even cleaned up the yard. Very friendly and reliable. We will definitely use Brittany in the future.

Meghan was an incredible care taker of my two dogs while I was out of town. I was sent informative reports and several pictures with her visits and will be highly recommending her services in the future. If you're in the Sodus, New York area and you use her services you won't be disappointed

Joni is new to day visits for my 2 Dachshunds ages 12 & 18. Her first visit went smoothly and she went above and beyond caring for them. Her passion for animals comes through and I hope to be using her services well into the future. Thankyou Joni.

Sharon was punctual, friendly, professional and had excellent communication. Our older dog's medicinal routine can be confusing and she did great. We came home to happy pups and a spotless house. We will definitely be booking Sharon again.

About: I’ve spent my whole life around large dogs and currently share my home with a 4-year-old German Shepherd who I raised and trained on my own since he was just 6 weeks old. I’ve developed an understanding of strong, energetic, and intelligent breeds over the years. Whether it’s a shy pup or a high-energy dog, I believe in patient, positive care and making sure every walk, visit, or play session is a happy one. You can trust that your dog will be treated like family in my care—because that’s how I’d want mine treated too! I work full time as a nurse, but typically have 3-4 days off each week that I love to spend outside or with animals to fill my happiness quota! I do not have a fenced in yard at my home, but am used to leashed walks with my 4 year old German shepherd. I have experience with crate training and medication administration.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of various kinds since I was 10. Friends, family and neighbors have relied on me to walk, feed and play with their pets. Currently I work on a 10 month contract. Therefore I have summer off so I have plenty of time to provide pet care to those in need of such services. I am a very trustworthy person who has tremendous respect for other people’s property and belongings. I especially respect pets with their needs and desires.

About: I attended animal science school for a year, where I learned about different dog breeds, grooming, behavior, and training techniques. I’m comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities and needs, and I always focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I’m patient, attentive, and happy to follow any routines or special care instructions to make sure your dog gets the best care possible. I work weekdays from 8 AM–4 PM, so pet care fits best into my mornings, evenings, nights, and weekends. My schedule is very flexible though! I’m happy to provide walks, playtime, feeding, overnight care, and lots of attention before and after work, and I always make sure pets stick to their normal routines as closely as possible. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent and comfortable as possible. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medication, and any special care needs. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship so they feel safe and relaxed while their owners are away. I also keep the home tidy, respect the space, and provide updates so owners feel confident their pet is in good hands.

Riley puts me at ease when I have to leave Spade (my 14 yr old Bombay male cat). She keeps me updated with photos and a narrative of what took place. She goes beyond and even cleans any mess he’s created. She is always punctual and attentive to his needs. I will recommend her with a glowing review and hope to book her on my next trip out of town. The best!

About: I have had a dog of my own since I was 12 and absolutely adore all animals. I did a decent amount of dogsitting over the 2022 summer and loved it :) I am a freshman and hamilton college but hoping to do more over the upcoming summer. I am honestly pretty open other than working 1-5 usually everyday. Besides that I am available to take care of your pup whenever it is needed :) Please just let me know what works best for you! I love to take dogs on walks and really just spend quality time with them. I really just enjoy the company and think they’re adorable :) I could play all day or watch a show on the couch with some pets depending on what they need from me!

About: I've always had such a deep love for animals of any kind, and I've been taking care of all kinds of creatures ever since I was 9 or 10 years old! I've been responsible for taking care of family pets, as well as more professional pet-sitting for family, neighbors, friends, etc. I've always prided myself on my ability to treat your pets as if they were my own. I'm a very gentle, non-threatening entity for many animals I've cared for, but I can also be very energetic for those that need a way to get all that canine energy out! I will always keep to whatever walking, feeding, sleeping, potty, and/or medication (if needed) schedule that your pet(s) are used to doing, so they can be the most comfortable they can be. I'm truly hoping that I can make animal care my career, and my heart is full of love towards your fur (and scaly) babies! I'm currently working part-time at a dog groomer, so I'm available from Saturdays-Tuesdays (I work 12-6 Wednesday-Friday). I can do a Friday evening or a Wednesday morning if it's really needed. I try to spend as much time with your pet as possible, so that's why I'd recommend booking on the full days I have off from work. I have a small dog, so there are plenty of toys and treats available! We also have a crate and a baby gate, so if anyone needed some alone time, we can make that available for them. Our apartment also has a big courtyard, so if your pup needs some outdoor time, there's plenty of space to run around! (On a leash, of course)

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 13 years old. I started with walking a neighbors dog and now I have done over nights and short term stays. I have worked with both small dogs, big dogs, young and old dogs. I have experience giving medicine and staying over. I have another job but I am able to check in frequently I am also available to stay over if that is preferred. I have a car so if comfortable we can go to parks and go on the trails! I can do overnights or I can do check ins. I have a bit of a green thumb so I can also care for any plants! I of course will be respectful of your home clean up after the animals and myself.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my diverse experience and adaptability to meet the unique needs of every pet. I have a special focus on both puppies and senior pets, offering tailored care for each stage of life. With puppies, I provide basic training, reinforcing positive behaviors and helping with crate training, potty training, and socialization. For senior pets, I’m attentive to their special needs, offering extra comfort, gentle exercise, and medication management. Additionally, I pride myself on building a strong bond with pets, ensuring they feel safe and loved in my care. Whether it’s administering medications or managing special diets, I take the time to make sure every pet receives the highest level of personalized attention and care. Caring for someone else's pet fits into my daily routine by ensuring they are fed, exercised, and given attention, just like I would for my own pet. I make time for walks or play sessions, and check in on their well-being. When caring for pets in a client's home, I follow their feeding, exercise, and medication routines. I ensure the pet is safe, comfortable, and engaged with regular play or walks. I also maintain a clean environment and provide updates to the client. My goal is to offer the same care and attention the pet is used to.

About: I have had dogs, cats, and other animals, in my life for as long as I can remember. From puppies to seniors, administration of medication, and normal care/training. I would love to be there for your dog when life gets in your way. I also have a BS in Zoology and have experience with exotic pets as well as fish. Perfect for the multi-pet household! I provide pet care on the weekends with hopes to expand to every day of the week. Most of my free time is devoted to animal care. I can assist with any basic need of any animal in your home. Provide feeding, walking, outside time, play time, medicine administration, and more. Just let me know what your pet needs, I am certain I can accommodate.
