“Lenny had a great time this weekend with Kelly and her crew! She sent me pictures all throughout each day and he went on multiple walks and hikes. He always seemed happy in the pictures! I will definitely use her again in the future!! Thanks again Kelly”



“Janet is the best sitter ever! She loves my little diva and treats her like her own fur-baby. She is so sweet and kind, so caring and truly enjoys what she does. I will 100% use Janet whenever I'm out of town, because I know my little doggie will be well-cared for, and let's just say it, truly spoilt - which I love! Janet is the best!”


“Lyndsay was incredibly kind and took great care of Mini! She made sure he felt right at home and sent lots of photo updates throughout the day, which really put my mind at ease. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter.”


“Our Arlo loved spending Christmas with Auntie Amanda and her family! Amanda provided a perfect home away from home experience for our boy. At her house he had other doggy friends to play with, lots of toys, cuddles, and exercise. She even took excellent care of him with his medication and feeding schedule. Thank you so much Amanda!”


“Spencer was perfect! He was very attentive and caring. My dog is a 15 year old senior with medical issues and he was super open to giving pet sitting with him a try and cared for him just as well (if not better) than we would've. Couldn't have asked for a better experience and will definitely hope to get Spencer again next time we need a trusted sitter.”



“Angi took such wonderful care of our 4 month old puppy while we were away. She sent daily updates and was fantastic while dealing with a very energetic pup. We could not have asked for a better setup, and we will absolutely be using Angi in the future!”


“Bryan was a great pet sitter. He was very prompt on getting back to me about how my dog was doing while me and my family were out of town. He also sent me plenty of pictures of my puppy. I would definitely recommend him caring for your pet. Thank you again so much. ☺️”


“Arianna was so amazing watching Granger for me!!! I was visiting the Fingerlakes with some friends and couldn’t bring Granger on a dinner cruise we wanted to do. Arianna was very sweet and wonderful, answering any questions I had over the phone before the trip, being flexible about drop off time when we were running behind, sending pictures of Granger while we were out, and allowing for a late pick up time after our cruise. She was always quick to respond and Granger was well taken care of! Would definitely recommend and will be messaging her again if I’m ever back in the area!”


About: Hello! My name is Kayla, and I have over 7 years of experience caring for animals professionally, aside from caring for own companion animals for about 15 years. I currently work as a welfare specialist at an animal sanctuary, but have worked in four different animal rescue and care spaces. Along with my extensive knowledge and experience with animal care, I also practice positive reinforcement training and have worked with several different species to provide cognitive enrichment as well as training behaviors for cooperative care. I would love to offer your companion some extra support while you're busy. So I hope you reach out to me for your care needs! I work full time, usually Monday to Friday, but can flex my hours if needed. Best times for walks and drop ins are Monday-Friday after 3pm and anytime on the weekends. I can board or sit any day of the week. My philosophy of care is to support our companions' natural and preferred behaviors in a way that protects their safety. Essentially, I let dogs be dogs. I do not believe in punishment, and will not use aversive tools such as shock, choke, and prong collars. If these are the tools that you use in your home, I will use my own harness or collar while caring for your companion. I believe in providing our companions with agency and understanding, not fear and restriction.

“We couldn’t have asked for a better situation than the one we had with Beth. She made our dog (Alee) feel right at home. Alee had freedom to move around, a comfortable home and lots of attention. It was a wonderful few days for her. I highly recommend Beth- a great dog sitter!”


“Booster had a great stay with Kristen! She was very accommodating with drop off and pick up time and you can tell she is great with dogs. I felt really good about leaving my pup with her even though it was the first time I’d used Rover! She sent updates with pictures throughout the weekend and even gave him a bath with homemade shampoo! He returned fluffy soft, smelling amazing and happy as ever!”


“I had a great experience with Jessica with my pups! Prior to booking, she was very responsive and even was open to a meet and greet with my pups and hers. During the stay, she sent photos and provided updates! I can always tell if my pups had a good stay with a sitter based on how they act when I pick them up. They both appeared calm and happy and one of them seemed to want to stay and play! I will definitely be using Jessica's service again!”



“Callie and Chloe stayed with Amanda for 3 nights while we visited the beautiful sights in Watkins Glen. I especially liked that she actually has a connection to a local vet. The pups seemed very happy and well cared for. She is very pleasant and was cooperative with some changing times.”


About: I love dogs they can tell. I have a boxer that enjoy running with and playing engaging games. I don't mind walking and running in winter weather. I enjoy working with dogs that want to get out and run but I'm also enjoying working with dogs who have gained some pounds and need a walk... who hasn't been there!? I think happy dogs are less destructive dogs and less distructive dog means happier owner. My hours and availability maybe changing relatively soon, but I am available every day before 8 and every day after 3 im available for overnight stays or weekend stays. I’m not able to board right now but I will be able to board soon! I look forward to hearing from you!!! -Cassi

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all age and sizes since I was a child. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to do anything their pet needs while they’re away. In the future I’m looking to take a dog training course and slow transition into that as a full time job. Every morning I wake up and immediately tend to the dogs and let them outside to use the bathroom and play around, then we come Inside to eat breakfast to start the day. We go outside about 3x daily to potty and play. I have a big privacy fenced in yard for play time. I have 4 dogs of my own. However I typically do not let them converse with my boarding dogs unless known that they are friendly.

Karizma L.
“Karizma has been amazing caring for my husky in the past as well as our German shepherd we have now. She is so caring and super flexible when it comes to dog sitting, definitely a lifesaver!”


Star U.
“I boarded my two ESAs with Star when I went on a week long trip. They're very affectionate and are bonded animals so I was hesitant about leaving them. They were able to board in one suite together, a big plus for me in terms of both costs and the pair of them benefiting from each others' company. Star was very attentive to my explanation of their food and routine and even sent a couple photos and a video while they were there to reassure me they were doing well. I would definitely use this service to board my cats again and would recommend to anyone looking for competent and caring supervision for their pets while they're away.”
