Pet Sitting in North Pitcher

“Elizabeth was fantastic with our dogs! She was reliable, communicative, and clearly loves animals. We returned from our trip and found our animals were happy and well cared for. Elizabeth went above and beyond and made sure our dogs had comfort during fireworks which typically cause them to have high anxiety. I’ll definitely book with them again!”

“Absolute pleasure to work with and takes great care of my three cats who all come to greet them each day. Takes photos of each cat and lets me know if there's any problems or concerns. The only sitter I will use!”

Alexa A.

“He did a fantastic job of taking care of our girls while we were gone. They were fed, watered, played with, and poops cleaned up. We came home to some very happy cats.”

About: Hello, My name is Monique. I currently have 2 dogs of my own that, I only just realized have officially entered seniorhood. I currently work at a local vet clinic here in Ithaca so I am also up to date and knowledgable about different breeds,foods, treats, and everything cat and dog! Ive been pet sitting and walking since the age of 13 Which has helped me learn all about caring for animals at all ages. From 4 weeks up till seniority, I can do it all and love every minute of it. Taking care of animals is something im extremely passionate about. I would love the opportunity to meet you and your furry(or feathered or scaled) friend! I currently do work full time and have 2 kidsof my own; and my work schedule does change from week to week but with a little bit of planning, im able to make most things work! Never be afraid to ask if you dee something and are unsure if im the right fit for you! Rover inly lets me specify certain details. I take all safety precautions, double leashes, prong collars(if provided), harnessed walkes, anything that YOU say works best for your pet, I am doing. I dont like to take the risk!

About: Who better than a veterinarian to take care of your best buddies while you're away? I am a new DVM graduate, and am happy to take care of your pets, no matter how old or young, especially those with special needs! I am certified in dog/cat CPR, and am comfortable providing any care needed. *Please note*: My providing pet sitting/dog walking/pet care services does NOT constitute a VCPR, and I cannot provide medical advice unless a VCPR is explicitly established in accordance with NY State Law* I prefer to stay in the client's home especially for dogs as this is generally much more comfortable for the dog to stay in their own environment. For overnight stays, I like to meet the dogs beforehand with owners present. This way they are assured it is okay to have me in their space for staying with them.

“Gilbert was absolutely a life saver. He took the time to be very thoughtful and thorough when taking notes.He also communicated with me as well and I know both my pets were very well taken care of while I was gone. Very trustworthy and I highly recommend Gilbert, if you’re looking for someone to take care of your pets.”

About: I’ve had pets my entire life! Being a dog owner a few times in the past has given me a lot of experience with providing the best care. It’s all about patience, being able to read their own needs, and knowing what toys and treats work best! I also have pets with special needs at home so I am skilled in administering medications orally, topically, and via subcutaneous injections. I’m clean, polite, professional, and respect boundaries of both my 2 and 4-legged clients. I have a pretty flexible schedule because I am self-employed. Generally I run my own business on weekends and every other Tuesday through the summer and fall. Weekdays and evenings are fairly wide open to spend time with furry friends. I am used to following a routine in my own home for my pets which includes timed feedings, regular medications, and cleaning of litter boxes. I also have someone in my home to take over my schedule if I were to take on a pet sitting job. In a client’s home I can easily adapt to their pet’s routine and maintain a calm presence so there is minimal stress.

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have always had a deep love for them. While I’ve primarily worked with horses and cows, I’ve also spent years around dogs and cats. We have our own rescue pup at home, and I’ve helped care for everything from small lap dogs to German Shepherds. There’s always been a family or friends dog around, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or just keeping them company, I treat every animal like they’re my own. I currently have two side jobs that I have full control over, so I’m able to be flexible and available any time of day or week to care for your pet. Whether it’s early mornings, midday check-ins, or evenings, I can adjust my schedule to meet your needs! When I’m caring for pets in their home, I do my best to stick to their normal routine so they feel safe and comfortable. I’ll follow any instructions you leave closely - whether it’s feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, or giving medications. I respect your home, keep things clean and tidy, and make sure your pets get lots of love and attention while you’re away. I know how important it is to feel confident your pets and your space are in good hands!

“Great communication & accepted last minute request for doggy play date for a very excitable Labrador. She went above and beyond to make it a great play date!”

About: Volunteering at shelters and owning an array of pets throughout my life helps me understand fully how to care for a creature. I've never turned away an animal and have worked with nursing birds, rodents, bunnies, and kittens back to health after rescuing them. I also love working with exotic pets like amphibians or reptiles, but mainly I board and walk dogs! I'm very good at reading body language and training stubborn dogs, and working with animals full time would be a dream career. Right now I'm studying premedicine / ecology at UA and taking care of animals over the summers to save money for school! Going to Albany on the 24th! Until then I can board, but afterwards I'm switching my location and removing boarding from my services as I'll be on campus. Large yard with electric fence and 2 extra collars for a medium dog. Home with 3 accessible stories, dog food, treats, litter box, toys and plenty of enrichment. Dog beds and human beds for sleeping, large safe neighborhood for walks!!

“Very nice, my dog loved her”

“Thank you for hanging with Lewy! Communcation was awesome, all my animals were comfortable. I will definitely book again!”

Heather S.

“Amber took good care of my two cats while I was away for a week. Everyone was healthy and happy when I got home!”

Katrina P.

“Heather is the most loving, bubbly person ❤️ She abd her husband Ed instantly fell in love with my babies. I was sent pictures everyday, any issues outside the norm she addressed promptly. When I returned home, my house was exactly how I had left it ! My dogs were sleeping when I entered the door, which tells me they had everything they needed while I was gone. Thank You so much 💓”

Colleen E.

“Briana, and her little boy, always exceed expectations. My animals will be asking me to go back on the road just so they can see her again. Rover hasn’t recognized livestock yet, but Briana does!”

Christine H.

“Chantal was easy to get a hold of and provided feedback every time she visited. My cats and fish were all happy and healthy when I returned home from my week long trip.”

About: My parents and I used to breed and raise black labs for years during my childhood, so I am very experienced and easy going with just about any animal. I Currently driver Uber and run an online business so I am all around pretty flexible since I have no set work schedule for either! I have a large house with a very open backyard perfect for animals to run around and get their energy out. The yard is not fenced in, but I have a close line with a leash and hook that allows dogs to move freely throughout the yard.

About: Hi! I have taken care of my friend’s dogs for 8 years, while they’re out of town or just at work, from puppies to adults, and it’s a lot of fun! I work full time with a food delivery service, but I’m all over town all day and can be super flexible on when I need to take breaks As far as safety goes, I always walk dogs on a leash, and treat them with the same love and care as if they’re my own. I am happy to follow care instructions for any clients

“Christine stayed the week with our two dogs and she was absolutely wonderful. Our one dog is very bashful and she was able to win his confidence, She sent great pictures and videos and it was such a sense of relief knowing both dogs were in good Hands. I highly recommend Christine and will definitely be using her again.”

About: I’ve work with my mom at her dog grooming salon since I was 11. I’ve dog sat for family and family friends for many years. I personally like animals more than people. I work at a dog grooming salon from 9am till when ever the last dog is done. I will be able to leave and check on your pups or even bring them with me to work we have plenty of rooms and cages if they couldn’t play with the other pups. I do bring my cat to work with me so if cats are dog friendly they would be able to come too I have very well trained dogs so they stay in the yard, I do stand outside and watch them. I dog sit for many people and I am more than happy to clean puppy pads, use a leash and walk them or anything necessary
