“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: 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!!
“All went welll. Very pleased.”
About: I have had family dogs all my life! It has always been a passion of mine to make sure they get the best level of care. I have my own year old pup and have seen all the ins and outs of dog care! I am most comfortable working on nights and weekends with occasional holidays! I get up with my dog early in the morning and walk everyday! I have a fenced in yard and a quiet neighborhood that makes so for a safe and welcoming environment for pet sitting and pet care!
“We had a great experience with Elizabeth. She took great care of our energetic boy, Tucker, and especially flexible with our last minute schedule around the holidays. She was great with updates and pictures of her visits and walks. We would definitely go to her again!”
About: I’ve had animals since I could walk. They have always been a part of my life. I worked at an animal shelter for a few years, working with dogs, cats, horses, and even goats. I bathed dogs, took them on walks, and even administered medicine when needed. I am currently a stay-at-home mom so I have a ton of time to spend caring and playing with your furry friends! My daughter loves animals as well and treats them with respect! I have big yard with tons of space for your dogs to roam! If you would like, I have space for their crates as well.
About: I have taken care of animals since I was a kid, having many pets growing up. I have volunteered in the animal care center at Greenburgh nature center where I got to care for a variety of reptiles and mammals. I have dog sat many family friends dogs, and also walked dogs for families I've babysat. Most recently, I worked at the Hudson Valley Humane Society Shelter where I mostly worked with farm animals and dogs, and is where I met and adopted my sweet boy named Suka. I currently am working in Ithaca 6:30-3:00pm and have the afternoons available I would be able to work in the Ithaca area or surrounding all the way to Truxton (where I currently live). Come this September I will have Wednesdays and Weekends completely available. I live on 5 acres, with plenty of room to play. I will always keep your pet on a leash or make sure there surrounding area is gated in so no one escapes. Having a husky, I am well versed on being prepared for escape artists.
