House Sitting in Owego

“I have never been more at peace with anyone taking care of my fur baby! We returned to a happy dog and clean house. Claudia is a gem and we couldn’t be more appreciative of the care she gave our girl.”

About: I am great with animals, I'm also a big fan of animals in general. Many weekends you can find me at the zoo, and I know an unnecessary amount of animal fun facts. I grew up with a cat, dog, and my own tropical fish aquarium. I have plenty experience walking dogs, both my own, and dogs belonging to members of the community in NYC. I have a pampered pet cat, and know that they shouldn't be treated the same as dogs. Cats: - Experience with many cats - Cat sit for friends and family - Happy to clean litter boxes - Will bring cat toys - Understand that cats have complex emotions Dogs: - Used to tri-daily walking schedule - Happy to pick up poop - Listed as a trusted dog walker for BAIP - Know that dogs take time to trust people Other: - Won't overfeed fish - Just tell me how to care for your pet, and I'm on it As of right now, my schedule is completely open, and I am more than happy to work around whatever schedule works best for you. Just let me know! Each animal is unique to each household, and my philosophy when it comes to animal care, is trusting that the owners know best. In other words, I follow exactly what the owners tell me to do. If you tell me that your Great Dane will only go potty if I spin around in circles 3 times, then it looks like I'm spinning. When it comes to animals trusting me, I understand that trust isn't inherent. Generally it come from the correct tone, getting on their level, and as many pats and treats as necessary.

“Thank you Rob! Our menagerie is happy and healthy, and we were able to relax and enjoy our trip with (human) family knowing all was good at home. Looking forward to seeing you again!”

I have my front and back doors always closed to ensure no accidental escapes occur. I let my dog on the couch/furniture as my home is their home.

About: Hello! I’ve been around or raising most of my life, I even have 2 cats and 2 dogs currently. I am a very dedicated, reliable and caring pet lover so I’m very comfortable taking your beautiful babies on a walk or to a park if they’d allow me to. I will do everything I can to make ur pet as happy and comfortable as they can be while you’re away! I’m also comfortable feeding, grooming or playing with your pet as needed. I would love to take care and hanging out with your fur babies if I get the chance so I hope you’ll consider me I look forward to giving your pets the love, safety and care they deserve. If you have any questions I’m always free to answer them! I currently have open availability so any time or day of the week or weekend while also including nights if needed, I’m here whenever to take care of your fur babies! I would like to ask the client if it’s okay if I could meet with them a day before just to see a quick routine run or ask if they can leave me a detailed list of what they’d like me to do. I can also crate the dog if the owner would like me to do so, go for walks, feed and fill water bowls when needed, and anything else that may need to be done.

“Carissa was wonderful. I loved the pictures and update. Thank you for being there for my fur baby.”

About: With 3+ years of professional experience working with animals, as well as 26 years of being surrounded by hundreds of pets of my own, my goal is to create the best, most memorable time for your animal friends. I treat every animal as if it's one of my own. From dogs to cats, rodents to reptiles, ducks to goats, and from newborn to senior, sick or in good health, I have cared for and nurtured just about any domesticated animal throughout all stages of life and am here to make sure that, no matter what, each and every animal is as happy as can be, because they deserve it. Four years ago, I lost my dog, Sugar, who I had since I was nine years old. We grew up together, and she meant everything to me. I've been trying to figure out how to fill that void ever since she left, but it's been tough man. Then I came across Rover. Now, I get to spend time with everyone else's dogs, and I see Sugar in every single one of them, which makes me want to give them the time of their lives. I appreciate everyone letting me watch after their pets. Most people do this for money; I do it, genuinely, because I love animals. Not just dogs, not just cats, but everything else in between. I've worked on farms and at pet stores, volunteered at animal shelters, fostered cats and rabbits, and even bred rodents for years - not to sell, but rather, just to care for and love. So this definitely is not limited to just canine and feline friends. I will care for any kind of animal. I have experience with them all. I work as a supervisor on 3rd shift right across the street from my house at a pet food manufacturing plant, making it super easy to take great care of your pet even throughout the night. I am home all day from 8am until 10pm, so there is really not much time ever where I won't be able to give your pet the care that it needs! I have a fenced yard with lots of room for your dog to run outside freely and plenty of room inside as well for a dog or cat or any other animal to roam about and go wherever their little heart desires. I have a young indoor cat who is very friendly and playful, a senior cat who stays in hiding, as well as two pet ducks that roam the yard who love friends. They have an enclosure of their own to lock them in if you are unsure of how your pet may react to ducks.

About: Animals and nature have been my greatest passion for as long as I can remember. I’ve been exposed to, and well acquainted to a variety of animals, including fish, rodents, reptiles, dogs, cats, horses, chickens, and even a baby squirrel rescue! I am also a volunteer dog walker at my local shelter, which is my therapy and brings me great happiness. I have two dogs of my own that I’ve raised since they were eight weeks old. They are my entire world. I am knowledgeable in basic dog training and obedience, and very observant and understanding of animal behavior. Nothing brings me more joy and happiness in life than being surrounded by the love and purity of animals. I currently have open availability. I have a very flexible and adaptable schedule and I am open to what works best for you and your pets needs. I am with my dogs all day everyday. They get all of my love and attention. I constantly monitor for potential hazards and act accordingly in order to limit any risks. Cleanliness and order is my main priority as I value a clean and tidy home. I have fresh water out all day and I feed them twice a day. My dogs get a specialized high end kibble which I supplement with fresh meat, organ, eggs, fruits, veggies, goats milk, coconut oil, bone broth, salmon oil, turmeric and a daily vitamin. I wash my dogs as needed or every two weeks. I brush their teeth, fur, and clip their nails weekly as well. I only have high quality chew bones and other toys available that don’t pose a risk as my dogs are heavy chewers.

“Julia was such a great dog sitter for my dog. He’s used to me being around 24/7 so I’m always worried about leaving him home alone. She took great care of him and put up with all his weird quirks and routines.”

About: My whole life I have always had dogs. I absolutely love all animals. I have experience with puppies and senior dogs. It is so much fun to meet new animals! I have no job as of right now and I only go to school from 9:10 am-2:26 pm with an hour and a half break everyday from 11:22 am -12:58 pm. I will do anything asked of me to help take care of your fur babies to cause you no stress while you are away! I will even take them to the groomers and vet if needed.

About: I have watched my friends dogs, walking them, feeding, cleaning and watching them over night up to 2 weeks at a time. I love dogs, they truly are a man's best friend. I make sure to give them the attention and love they deserve and make sure they are fed, quenched, happy and never bored. I love being outdoors so I can make sure they get to walk, run, play at the park or walk around the block. Watching my friends dog for 2 weeks while he was on vacation was an amazing experience. I grew very close to the dog, named Toby. He slept in my room every night, I walked him every morning, bathed him, fed him. I am grateful I got the chance to dog-sit.

“Nicole did a great job! Lots of communications and pictures. I will definitely book her again.”

About: I've had experience with an assortment of animals for a large part of my life. I volunteered an animal shelter in Scottsville, NY for about two years walking dogs of every size and taking care of cats. I have also housed two large German Shepherds and three Dachshunds, both of which are very demanding breeds. I currently reside in Owego, NY, and I work part-time in Endicott, NY Monday through Wednesday from 8AM to 5PM. I may provide brief surfaces on evenings these days, such as a walk or stop-in. Any other day is fair game. Per the restrictions of my apartment complex, I won't be able to care for or bring pets in my home. However, I would be sure to respect any client's home I may enter.

“Tess was a wonderful sitter for my elderly pup. He is quite on in years, and she was patient with him and his special needs, for that I am thankful. Her training and experience with elderly dogs put my mind at ease while I was away. I would absolutely recommend her as a great dog sitter.”
