Hailly was wonderful! Respectful of our requests, detailed, timely, and sent pictures and updates every day. Was very mindful of our cat’s moods and picked up on the fact that he was a little nervous at first, but you could see he quickly started becoming comfortable each visit through the pictures. We would certainly choose her again. Thank you, Hailly! :)

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.

Samantha worked with us to find times that worked for all with the drop-in visits. This was very helpful for my dog sitter, who needed a little extra help with a high energy dog.

We decided to do a last minute adventure which dogs could not join in and Meghan was available and made our adventure worry free. She gave the dogs walks, treats and spent time with them and then gave us an update and pictures on how they did. We would use her again.

Joni was great. I was nervous leaving my cats home. They dont do well being on their own for extended periods. Joni played with them and cuddled with them. She also had no problem, on short notice, feeding them the last day as my neighbor could not. The cats are happy and so am I.

About: I have had a dog or two dogs since I was born and I love every part of taking care of them! I have experience with both large and small dogs, and dogs with severe anxiety. Both of my family dogs are rescues, and one of them was adopted from a pound after a year living on the streets, so I am equipped to support and handle dogs who may have a lot of nervousness surrounding new people in their space. I am a recent graduate from the University of Maine relocating to the Geneva, NY area for work. Since I’m leaving my two beloved family dogs, Puck and Celly, behind, and won’t be able to have a dog of my own, I’m excited for the opportunity to walk, play with, and hang out with other puppies who may need love or quality time. I’m also looking for a way to explore the area around Geneva, and getting out and walking your usual routes or discovering new ones sounds like a great way to get out and about:) Unfortunately I am renting and unable to support boarding at my home. That being said, if you’re interested in boarding at your home, I’m more than happy to discuss—please reach out!

When my planned sitter had to cancel for an emergency, Sharon was available last minute (on a holiday weekend) to step in. She was attentive to the medical and behavioral needs of both my cats, and was a flexible problem solver when necessary. Thank you so much Sharon!

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’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 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.

Elizabeth was fantastic with our boys. We (boys included) knew as soon as we met her, she was a perfect fit. This was our first time using Rover but Elizabeth really put our mind at ease. We will definitely be using her again.

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)

Brittany was great with our dogs and kitties during the 9 days we were away!! We had an initial meet and greet and it was evident from the first meeting that the pups took right to her! Each day that we were gone we’d get updates and adorable pictures! When we returned the pets and our home were in such great shape! It was like we’d never been away!! We think the dogs missed their daily interaction with Brittany!! We will definitely be calling Brittany again when vacation time comes around!
