About: I specialize in caring for small/medium breed dogs in a peaceful, country home just five minutes outside of Ithaca. With experience ranging from young dogs to seniors, I provide a calm, structured environment where your pet can feel safe and at ease. What sets me apart is my exclusive focus on smaller breeds. As the owner of two small dogs myself (a Chihuahua-Terrier mix and a Pomeranian), I understand their specific needs and personalities. Because I do not take larger dogs, you can rest assured that your small pup will be in a setting designed just for them—without the stress of being around bigger pets. My home is ideal for dogs who do well in a quieter setting and enjoy consistent, attentive care. Whether your dog is older and needs a gentler pace, or simply enjoys a low-key environment, I’m here to provide a safe and loving stay. I work full-time as a remote software engineer, which means I’m home throughout the day and able to provide consistent supervision and companionship. My flexible schedule allows me to take regular breaks for walks, playtime, and one-on-one attention—ensuring your small dog is never left alone for long stretches and always feels cared for. Because I’m home-based and live in a quiet, country setting just outside of Ithaca, I can maintain a calm, structured environment that’s perfect for small breeds who thrive with routine and a peaceful atmosphere. I offer exclusive pet sitting services at my home, ensuring a safe and loving environment for your pet. With a large yard and the companionship of my own two playful dogs—a Chihuahua mix and a Pomeranian —your pet will enjoy playtime, walks, and personalized care. I prioritize their comfort, security, and individual needs, providing a home-away-from-home experience.

“Sara took great care of my cat while I was out of town for a few days. She provided updates each visit and included multiple photos of him. I felt comfortable that he was being taken care of all weekend and came home to a happy cat. I highly recommend Sara and will be contacting her for future services next time I need a pet sitter!”

About: I have raised and lovingly cared for 3 dogs in the last 20 years. Your pet will feel like they are at home when you're away.. I am a local teacher with my summer off. I have two dogs and children but they travel between two houses. While your pet stays with me it would be just them and myself, they would get my full attention! My yard is set up for games of catch or just exploring new smells. I have a fenced in backyard and an already established dog friendly home. I love walking around my neighborhood and to the park. I am able to drive to your home if needed to feed, let out or walk your pet.

“Caroline did a great job checking in on my cat daily as requested. She understood and did exactly what I wanted her to do for my cat and then communicated everything to me. I was reassured that my cat was being cared for very well which meant a lot to me. 🙏🏼 Caroline”

“Clara was great! We hadn’t used this app before and she met with us in person before our trip to help us get comfortable with the process. Took excellent care of our cats and provided pictures for every visit. If you’re on the fence about finding someone I would definitely vouch for Clara. Very happy with the care she provided.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was a kid. I own 3 dogs at home as well as working in dog shelters. I also have 2 cats! I’m currently a full time Animal Science student at Cornell University, so working on weekends is the best for me. Typically anytime in the day works for me but afternoon/evening is preferred! I always leash dogs especially when out in public just as a precaution as well as to respect others boundaries. One of my dogs at home is kennel trained so if needed I can put your dog in a kennel!

“Georgia did a wonderful job taking care of our cat while we were out of town! She was responsive, prompt, and predictable, and kept us up-to-date on the foibles of our feline, as well as sending good pictures :). They cat was well-fed and happy to see us when we got back (not always the case in the past, as the cat sometimes gets grumpy and doesn’t want to eat…). Many many thanks, and we’d be happy to do this again.”

About: I have been lucky enough to spend time with dogs of a range of ages, sizes, and personalities, from energetic puppies to sweet senior pups who need a slower pace and a gentle touch. I’m comfortable with a wide range of needs, just let me know! I take time to build trust, especially with shy or anxious dogs, and I always move at their pace. I also pay close attention to behavior and body language, so I can respond quickly if something seem off. But most importantly, I make sure that they're safe and happy, while waiting for their favorite person to come back to them. Caring for the fluffy angels is something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize in my daily life. My schedule is flexible and I can work from home, which means I can dedicate quality time to walks, play, feeding, and companionship without rushing. Whether I'm welcoming pets into my home or caring for them in their own space, I always focus on creating a calm, safe, and loving environment. I live in a quiet apartment surrounded by forest and green space, with very little car traffic in the neighborhood, which is perfect for peaceful walks and outdoor sniff time. At my place, I maintain a clean and cozy space with plenty of room for your doggie or kitty to lounge, play, or nap. In your home, I'll respect the privacy and cleaness of your space. I will follow your care instructions closely, from feeding routines to medication schedules and favorite toys, because I know how important familiarity and consistency is to their happiness.

“Madison took great care of our pup. We needed someone to take Hallie for a walk and spend some time with her at the house during the day. She was careful with our directions and meeting Hallie's specific dietary needs and provided regular updates with photos. We highly recommend Madison!”

“Rossy did an amazing job caring for our puppy! She was very communicative, responsive and flexible with schedule changes. Rossy provided multiple photos and detailed information about each visit with our puppy. Our puppy's joyful expressions in the photos were testament to Rossy's loving care and made us feel assured our puppy was in good hands. Thank you, Rossy!”

About: My family always had dogs and cats while I was growing up. We also raised pigs for a time. In my junior year of college I adopted a dog from the local shelter and he is still my pride joy. I care for him with all my heart. I have a very flexible schedule, I only work 2 out of every 8 days. Therefore I am happy to work around different needs and schedules. I care for my clients’ pets with love and affection, much the same way I do with mine. I am very respectful of everyone’s home, never tracking in dirt or mud.

“Jeannette was great with my cat and was very communicative.”

“Sarah has watched my cat on multiple occasions and continues to make amazing progress in developing a relationship with my very shy and occasionally skittish cat. She always provides thoughtful notes and observations after her visits. I'm so happy to have Sarah as a part of my care team!”

About: Hello! My name is Ryan. I have been helping out with dogs for years and love doing so. I have done everything from walking to overnights so I’m well versed in most aspects. I have my own Pomeranian puppy named Shadow and it has definitely made me a more aware and reliable carer for animals. I am most experienced in walking and check-ins although am open to any help needed! I am comfortable with all sized dogs and have no issues medicating. I have a rather flexible schedule so I’m typically able to work around your day if need be. I decided to branch out to this platform because I wanted an opportunity to get the most experience possible. I hope to see your best friends soon! I’m always available in the afternoons and I can be available during the day if requested in advance due to working from home. I’m quite flexible. I have two friendly dogs at my home that love new friends. I can crate your animal easily if needed as well. I treat any animal as if they were my own.

About: I grew up with dogs and have been a canine lover since I was a child. As an adult I have enjoyed dog sitting and walking for many friends and relatives. I know that every dog is special and has a unique personality. I love getting to know each dog so that they have a safe and fun experience when they’re with me. I am currently substitute teaching part-time and so I am available for dog walking or sitting for 3-5 days every week. In the summer my schedule will be even more flexible for these services. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I always respect the space, culture, and boundaries of my client and their pet(s). I communicate with my clients to ensure that I honor their lifestyles and routines to provide a safe, trusting, and loving experience for their pets.
