“Samantha was very responsive and communicative the whole time. She really took great care of my dogs and kept me updated with messages and photos. Highly recommend and would definitely book again!”


“Hailly goes above and beyond to care for our pets. We accidentally locked the cat in a bedroom that was in a part of the house where Hailly didn't have to go. But she sensed something was wrong, heard the cat, and let him out. She cleaned up multiple messes left by our one very untrained dog. She communicated clearly and reassuringly. Totally honest, proactive, and trustworthy.”


“Allia is fantastic! We worked with her for the first time this weekend because our daughter had a 1st birthday party, and our dog Cooper gets anxious around children he doesn’t know. We asked if she could take him for a long walk or excursion and she provided an excellent experience the whole way through. She was on time, professional, has great energy, and greeted Cooper with a hug 😊 You could from the Rover pictures how happy she made Cooper the whole time they were out together; she treated him like family. She sent pictures throughout her time with him, took great care of him, and had great communication about her arrival time back. We’ve been looking to build a strong list of go-to dog sitters/dog walking partners, and you can bet Allia is on our list! Thanks for everything, Allia, and we (and Cooper 🐾) look forward to working with you again!”


“We really like Alicia! Alicia is very responsive and easy to work with. They sent us a report after the visit with a video of our kitties and took care of everything we requested. We’ve already booked Alicia for house sitting next!”


“Christian continues to be my "go to" for prompt, kind and affectionate attention and walks for Lucy Dog at lunchtime when I am at work. Christian takes unprompted and quick action when unexpected situations arise. He is intuitive, mature and responsive, and he genuinely cares for my dog. I highly recommend Christian without reservation.”


“Luca was very professional. He took excellent care of our fussy kitty while we were away. He provided photos and updates daily. We are so happy to have a reliable person to cat-sit. I 100% recommend Luca.”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs of various kinds since I was 10. Friends, family and neighbors have relied on me to walk, feed and play with their pets. Currently I work on a 10 month contract. Therefore I have summer off so I have plenty of time to provide pet care to those in need of such services. I am a very trustworthy person who has tremendous respect for other people’s property and belongings. I especially respect pets with their needs and desires.

About: My remote work makes it possible to spend my days with my dog Winnie, who I adopted from the wonderful Schuyler County Humane Society last year, and still be able to walk or visit other dogs or cats for anyone who is not able to work from home or has plans out of town and can’t bring their furry friend. My schedule is pretty adjustable so let me know when you need someone and I can likely help out. I work remotely and am able to more or less make my own schedule so I can walk dogs during 9-5 hours too. Sometimes there is a gap between projects and I have even more availability. At this time I would not be caring for pets in my home but would possibly be available to watch a pet at a client’s home.

About: I have taken care of dogs of all different breeds and sizes since I was young. Neighbors, family and friends have relied on me to let their furry friends out for potty breaks, walk them, feed them, and even stay with them in their homes while they are away. I am currently working full time at a dairy farm/farm store until I head back to college this fall. I can be with them before and after work. My hours differ day to day but we can make it work! I can care for your animals in whatever way you need. If they are not able to free roam in your yard, I am willing to leash walk them. I will play with them for as long as they want and I will make sure they are fed on whatever schedule you currently have set for them.


“Rachel did a great job cat-sitting our two cats. She was great with the cats: one warmed up to her almost immediately, and she even managed to coax the shyer cat out from the furniture he usually hides under when there's a stranger in the house. We always get nervous leaving our cats, but having Rachel there to check on them and spend time with them helped to calm our nerves. We really appreciated her strong communication, and her willingness to accommodate our requests.”


About: I'm the kind of person that would have a hundred dogs to take care of if I could! All of them would be rescues. I would love to help you take care of your animals while you're at work or away. I am a Hands-On, play with the dogs , make sure they get love and affection , walks and proper care. It would be a pure pleasure to be able to help you be confident that your animal is taken care of while you're away at work. I must admit I suffer from a little bit of empty nest syndrome as my youngest child graduated and went off and is now doing her own thing, it makes me purely happy to scratch a dog behind their ears and have them be just delighted.

About: Animal Care & handling Certified, over 30 years experience with all animals. I have experience with dog walks, weekly vacation sitting in others homes as well as my own and best of all grooming! 😊 Available evening, night and weekends but willing to accommodate during the week if crate trained however, I work during the day so they will be home a max of 4 hrs/day while I work. I will care for your place and animals as if they were my own. Clean, tidy and LOTS OF LOVE! They can be on my furniture and play with all our doggy toys!!

About: Ever since I was five, I have taken care of dogs. I am capable of taking care of pets big and small. I have had several dogs, a few even with health issues of various severity, and have learned how to treat and care for them. I am experienced in administering oral medications and caring for geriatric pets. My family recently adopted another golden retriever puppy, so I am also familiar with training puppies and their needs. I just finished college and I am looking for a summer job. I am available most days of the week during the summer until the end of August. I'm dedicated to caring for your pets like they're my own! I think the most important thing to remember when meeting a new animal is to show them you aren't there to hurt them and display a positive attitude!

About: I want to hear how your dog likes to spend their time, and how you want me to care for them! I'm ready to go on walk after walk after walk, or we can splay out and chill at home. I also love practicing their new tricks with them. Whatever your dog needs, I'm ready to provide. I can fit pet care in however it needs to be fit in! I'm very available and ready to care for your pet however you need me to. I take them on regular breaks outside in the yard. I will play games with them to keep them entertained and fulfilled. I will do everything I can to make sure they are comfortable with me and their surroundings.

“Lori has such a sweet disposition and was amazing with my German Shepherds. I am so grateful and thankful to have had her to be at our home. Both of them have health issues so it’s not easy to leave them, but Lori took everything in stride. I know Max and Niko were well taken care of and loved. I would highly recommend Lori to anyone!!!”


About: I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life, from big to small. Friends and family have frequently called on me to watch and love their pets while they are out of town- and I don’t know who enjoys it more- the fur folks or me! I also volunteer with a farm animal sanctuary and have a lot of farming experience with a larger diversity of animals. I do work full time, but I have fairly flexible hours and work remotely at times. My primary times of availability would be in the mornings before 10 am and after 5pm until bedtime. I will assess the pet’s or pets’ needs and figure out a schedule that will work best for them to ensure seem-less care and stress reduction while their owners are away. I give love very freely and love a good snuggle! I want to make your fur kids feel as happy as possible while you’re away.

About: My experience with animals but more cats than anything but I have grand puppies that I love and have taken care of. I have had them overnight and have gone to their house out my personal schedule to let outside, to feed and love. I have two cats that is not just pets but are like mine and my wife's kids. Kiki is 13 year old female and she is very active and loveable at times. Max is our 18lb baby who is a clown and very active. My grand puppies are two Huskys, a black lab and two mix breed dogs who I have partially help raise. All in all I love these animals as family members. I would do the same for yours. My schedule is flexible. I have another job where I shop and certain days of the week is slow. This would be perfect to fill the slow times from my other job Well our two cats are very much loved. We don't have fenced in yard but we built a cat patio so our two cats would get fresh and feel safe.
