“Kaylee was great! Very responsible, dedicated, and communicative. I felt safe knowing she was looking after my cats, and she went above and beyond dealing with their shenanigans! Totally recommend her as a pet-sitter.”
“Kate goes above and beyond to make our 5 cats content when we are away in addition to doing some serious cleaning before we came back to welcome us to a clean home. I highly recommend her.”
“Elizabeth was fantastic with our dogs! She was reliable, communicative, and clearly loves animals. We returned from our trip and found our animals were happy and well cared for. Elizabeth went above and beyond and made sure our dogs had comfort during fireworks which typically cause them to have high anxiety. I’ll definitely book with them again!”
“Leah was fantastic, so detail-oriented and communicative—reading the summaries she wrote after each visit to Ivy (and seeing all the pictures!) made me so happy. And based on what I saw in the summaries, Ivy really enjoyed spending time with her. It made our first trip away from Ivy much less stressful to know that she was so well cared for.”
About: Hello! I started pet-sitting seriously in graduate school and had a consistent base of clients for two years. Later, I volunteered at a local humane society where I cared for and interacted with cats and dogs multiple times a week, for three years. This experience taught me a great deal more about dogs, including behaviors, breed traits, and exercise needs. While it's not my profession, animal care-taking has definitely become my passion! I've taken care of cats with very specific feeding programs as well as dogs who have special needs (like my lazy friend Colonel Lafayette the Basset Hound in my pictures). I treat every animal exactly how they want to be treated. Sometimes that is a lot of love and affection, but sometimes there are cats who like their distance! Whatever your animal needs, I'm happy to accommodate them. I commute daily and can easily work in visits in the early morning and late afternoon. Weekends are quite free for longer visits and homestays. It's an honor to have a key to someones home and to be trusted to care for their animals, and I take this very seriously. I am a guest in your home, but in that time your pet is family to me. I always make sure to leave a home neater than I found it, and will double, triple check that all is as it should be before I depart.
About: Hello, My name is Monique. I currently have 2 dogs of my own that, I only just realized have officially entered seniorhood. I currently work at a local vet clinic here in Ithaca so I am also up to date and knowledgable about different breeds,foods, treats, and everything cat and dog! Ive been pet sitting and walking since the age of 13 Which has helped me learn all about caring for animals at all ages. From 4 weeks up till seniority, I can do it all and love every minute of it. Taking care of animals is something im extremely passionate about. I would love the opportunity to meet you and your furry(or feathered or scaled) friend! I currently do work full time and have 2 kidsof my own; and my work schedule does change from week to week but with a little bit of planning, im able to make most things work! Never be afraid to ask if you dee something and are unsure if im the right fit for you! Rover inly lets me specify certain details. I take all safety precautions, double leashes, prong collars(if provided), harnessed walkes, anything that YOU say works best for your pet, I am doing. I dont like to take the risk!
“I needed my cat boarded for the day and he accepted boarding her. He was reliable with communication and was able to have my cat boarded and my cat was relaxed when I picked her up. I would definitely recommend for sitting or boarding your pet.”
“She was great at communicating and shared photos daily of her visits. I was very at ease knowing that my pet was being taken care of and given some loving company. Will definitely rebook with her whenever I need a sitter again!”
“Coleman was great at keeping me updated and ensured I knew the status of the check-in appointments with my cat. Even though my house was a bit far away, Coleman was willing to make the drive out.”
“It is the second time Gabriela has taken care of Vanilla, and once again she was great! She is prompt at communicating, reliable, and our cat was delighted to have her come take care of him again. We came back to a well fed and happy cat, while having the peace of mind knowing she was in charge while we were away!”
About: Personally I’ve cared for many animals over the years, whether it was pets of my own, or pet sitting for friends and family. Professionally I have experience working with dogs, cats, and horses as a kennelman. I have a very flexible schedule and I’m able to adjust it to accommodate and prioritize the needs of you and your pet as needed. Client care in home will be dependent on the needs of your pet. I can provide walks on site if possible or elsewhere locally as needed.
About: Loving & Reliable Cat Care in Ithaca! Hi, I’m Holly! I’m a lifelong cat lover with years of experience caring for feline friends of all personalities—whether they’re playful, shy, or independent. I understand how important it is for your cat to feel safe and comfortable while you’re away, and I’ll treat them like my own. From feeding and litter box maintenance to playtime and cuddles (if they’re up for it!), I’ll make sure your kitty gets the care and attention they deserve. Let’s set up a meet-and-greet—I’d love to care for your cat while you're away! I'm working part-time during the day and I’m available for visits in the early mornings and evenings, perfect for feeding, litter box maintenance, playtime, and cuddles (if they’re up for it!). I provide attentive and compassionate care for cats in their own homes, ensuring they stay comfortable in their familiar environment. During each visit, I make sure they have fresh food and water, clean their litter box, and spend time engaging with them through play or gentle companionship—depending on their personality and preferences. I also provide updates and photos to keep you informed while you're away. My goal is to make sure your cat feels safe, happy, and well-cared for while maintaining their usual routine. Let me know how I can best meet your pet’s needs!
About: I have been taking care of dogs since 2016, when I purchased my own. For 5 years now, I have been offering pet care services in my home and in my clients homes as well. I have experience with litters of puppies (my dog had one litter of 9 in 2023, they are both now fixed). I am familiar with medication administration as well as senior care and following strict diets! I currently operate my own cleaning business and have open availability and a flexible schedule to do dog walks, drop in care, and over night stays as well! I like to make sure animals stick to their schedule and have a safe environment to play in. I do not have a fenced in yard, but it is a large backyard with ample space to run and play. If care is done in your home, I make sure to follow all rules provided and make sure the animals are in a safe place at all times!

“Saraphina came to my rescue when I became a new mom. Having her experienced help alleviated stress and allows me to focus on my newborn. From day 1 it was obvious she knew a lot about dogs AND, that she'd update me regularly regarding Timbo's behavior. A true professional, she is reliable and organized and I'm lucky to have found her!!”

Monique J.
“Monique is WONDERFUL! I actually met her at her job, Petland. I was shopping for a new collar and some toys for my boxer mix and I was going on about how I was trying to find someone to watch him for the weekend while I went away on business, and she mentioned that she actually did dog sitting and would love to do it. The next day I met with her and my little Billy got to see her house and meet her dogs, everyone immediately hit it off amd it was set! She sent me LOADS of pictures and videos of Billy having fun with her and her dogs, even ahowing me that she took him to the pool. It really helped reassure me, especially since this is the first time spending the weekend away from him. She really is the greatest and her love for dogs is evident.”
