House Sitting in Oak Orchard

“Nora is truly exceptional, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. She took care of my dogs, Lucy and Betty, and went above and beyond in every possible way. During her time with them, an unexpected and serious fight broke out—their first ever—and it was a terrifying situation. Nora handled it with incredible professionalism, calmness, and expertise. She acted immediately, knowing exactly what to do without hesitation, and managed the situation safely and responsibly. I was so grateful she was the one there in that moment. She even had a first aid kit on hand and was able to tend to their wounds right away, which gave me immense peace of mind. What meant just as much was her communication throughout the entire ordeal. She kept me informed every step of the way with clarity, compassion, and reassurance during what was a very scary time for all of us. Her thoughtfulness and transparency made an enormous difference. I trust Nora completely and wholeheartedly. She demonstrated not only skill and preparedness, but genuine care and dedication. Anyone would be incredibly lucky to have her looking after their pets. I would recommend her without hesitation to anyone seeking truly outstanding care for their furbabies.”

About: What sets me apart is my experience working with dogs of all personalities and needs, especially reactive dogs and strong pullers. I have completed training with my own reactive chocolate lab through Justin’s Canine Campus, along with continuing training work at home, which has taught me patience, consistency, and how to read dog behavior closely. As a teacher, I’m dependable, calm, and attentive, and I naturally bring those qualities into caring for pets. I’ve loved animals since I was young and also continue to volunteer at animal shelters (Helping Hounds & HumaneCNY) giving me experience with dogs who may need extra patience, structure, or reassurance. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine. As a teacher, I have summers off and will soon be working part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility for walks, playtime, and quality attention. During the school year, I’m also an early bird and start my mornings with an average 2-mile walk with my own dog, so staying active and keeping pets on a routine is something I truly enjoy. I care for every pet as if they were my own and always focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. In a client’s home, I try to keep pets on their normal routine with feeding, walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, and plenty of attention and affection. I also make sure their space stays clean and that they feel calm while their owners are away.

About: I’ve been around pets my entire life, mostly dogs. I’ve owned my own dogs since I was 12, and I currently own a German shepherd and a Coton De Tulear. I consider myself a true animal enthusiast and I believe that caring for them is more than a chore, but something you need to be passionate about to give them the best care they deserve! QUIET HOURS: My quiet hours daily are from 10pm - 7:30am. During these hours I will not respond to requests or messages, however you can still submit them. HOUSE SITTING: I am available for full day visits (except Mon & Wed mornings + weekends) for dogs who need constant care ONLY. If your dog is fine being alone for the majority of the day, please book through my drop-in visits instead. Currently I am not doing overnight stays due to certain circumstances concerning my own pets. DROP-IN VISITS: For pets who are fine being on their own during the day but need check-in’s + playtime throughout. It’s all dependent on what my clients homes are equipped with! If you have a fenced yard and high energy dogs, I’m more than happy to take them outside to play and explore, or play inside. Treats are always an option, as are pets, cuddles, and plenty of love for your fur babies!

“Paige watched our senior dog and GSD puppy for an overnight house sitting stay. Everything went smoothly with Paige. Our pups were well cared for & we enjoyed receiving pics of our girls both days that Paige spent with them.”

About: I have extensive experience in pet care. My fenced backyard offers a safe and spacious environment for dogs to play, and in the summer they can even enjoy swimming. During the first few days of their stay, I usually prepare a special fried rice and beef mix to help them adjust to the new environment. Some dogs also enjoy a small ice cream treat after meals. I am truly dedicated to ensuring that every pet feels comfortable, happy, and well-cared for while staying with me. Pet care is naturally built into my daily routine. I follow a consistent schedule every day: morning feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, and a short walk. Throughout the day, I provide playtime, mental stimulation, and regular check-ins to make sure every pet is comfortable and safe. In the evenings, I do another walk, feeding, and quiet bonding time. On a weekly basis, I clean and sanitize pet areas, wash bedding, and review each pet’s needs so I can keep their routine as close as possible to what they’re used to at home. In My Home: I provide a structured, safe, and comfortable environment. Pets follow a consistent routine including regular feeding times, potty breaks, supervised play, and walks. I give each pet a designated rest area with clean bedding, fresh water, and personal space. I supervise pets closely and make sure they never access unsafe areas or open doors. I keep the home clean, calm, and pet-friendly at all times. In Clients’ Homes: I maintain each pet’s routine exactly as the owner requests. I follow their feeding schedule, walking pattern, training rules, and preferred daily habits. I send regular updates, photos, and reports to give owners peace of mind. I respect the home, keep everything tidy, and ensure all doors, gates, and crates are secured after every visit. My focus is always on safety, consistency, and keeping pets comfortable in their familiar environment.

“Amanda was absolutely wonderful! So kind and considerate and followed our schedule with our high anxiety dog and two cats perfectly and with no issues! I could tell when we had our meet and greet that she has a great heart, and our dog responded to her very well- she’s not always welcoming of people she doesn’t know, but Amanda won her over in no time. Very happy that we found someone that we can trust our fur babies with! ?”

“Leniece was excellent with our dog. She played with Lancy all the time and sent great pics. Very pleased with her!”

Linda O.

“Rebecca was great, super communicative and flexible to make our schedules work for housesitting. Nacho is very happy and I would definitely rebook and recommend!”

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 :)

“Adrianna stayed at our home to watch our two dogs at our cat while we were out of town for several days. She kept us updated daily with messages and pet photos, giving us great sense of peace that our home and pets were looked after. Thank you again for your wonderful service, Adrianna!”

“Thomas was fantastic with our girls! He provided detailed updates throughout the stay and was incredibly observant, paying close attention to their needs and routines. Our husky can be a bit high-maintenance, but Thomas handled everything with care and made sure she was well taken care of. He was reliable, communicative, and treated our home with respect. We felt completely comfortable having him stay at our house and had peace of mind knowing our girls were in such good hands. We would absolutely book with Thomas again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive sitter.”

“Riley really helped us out in a pinch when our original sitter canceled on us less than two days before our trip. He took wonderful care of our girls and our home. He sent photos and checked in often. We are glad we choose him to watch them.”
