About: Aside from my own pets over the years, I’ve also provided care and comfort to pets of family and friends. Whether in my home or yours, I will treat your pets as if they were my own. I know how hard it is to find a safe place for our fur babies when we have to travel. Our pittie mutt, Hank, can’t wait to meet your pups! I recently retired after 36 years of teaching and have lots of free time to care for your fur babies. We have a large fenced in deck (and pool for our swimmers). Our 12 acres are not fenced but are cleared for easy walks, on or off lead as desired. Our home sits well off the main road. We’re not opposed to taking pups for rides in our side by side. House trained dogs have freedom in our home. We’re suckers who allow pets on furniture and provide all the love and cuddles needed to make them comfortable. We have plenty of room for crates if your pup is more comfortable in one. In your home, I will follow your house rules. Depending on location, I can come and visit or stay overnight. I can bring mail and packages in for you and take care of your plants. 🪴
About: I have a country setting home and have a mini farm that's slowly growing. My animals are part of my family so they are treated as so. I am a stay at home mom of 2 boys and my days consist of caring for my entire family. Have transportation if necessary and an incredible vet if anything God forbid were to happen during my care. Proper care consisting of following proper feeding schedules. Exercise consists of walks at the park and bathing if necessary. Lots of cuddles of pets if necessary and probably if not but definitely observant of pets needs. All animals will be given the respect they deserve. I'm fully aware of all normal dietary restrictions animals have.
“Kristin is so wonderful with our dog, Champ! She does such a great job communicating with us on how Champ is doing when we are away and he always looks so happy in the pictures she sends us! She even helped keep him calm while he was scared during a thunder storm. We have used Kristin many times and will continue inthe future! Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve taken care of numerous types of dogs for friends and family since I was 13. I trained my puppy and love playing with dogs of all ages. I currently work from home, which allows me to give your pets the attention they need during the day! I’m at home full time Monday-Friday and am available on weekends. My dogs are uncrated and allowed to be outside in my unfenced yard, though I usually go out with them. For peace of mind, I’ll take your pets out on a leash or a runner. In your home, I can do whatever you’d normally do.
About: Experienced in overnight and back-and-forth pet sitting. Can care for puppies to seniors at any hour of the day and night. I am not grossed out by any mess your pet may make and will keep the space clean. Normally work 7-noon 3 days a week. My job is very flexible and could change to suite you and your pets needs! I am very quick with responding if you would need me last minute. My pets that I've had in my home get fed at the same time every day. They are also allowed to go out when they want and get their paws cleaned when they come in. Water is always available to them. You can expect me to do the same with your animals unless told other instructions.
“Mary Kate is a very nice and loves animals. Sshe took care of my border collie this past weekend. Timely updates and sent me pictures of Katrina out playing in my yard. I highly recommend Mary Kate to care for your pets.”

About: I absolutely love all animals. I worked as a veterinarian assistant for many years at the Vestal Veterinary hospital. I still work there as the lead pharmacist. I have had some behavioral training with my own dogs. I will be able to tend to any kind of special needs your fur/feather babies might have. Im experienced in everything from naughty puppies to medicating our needy seniors, even our spicy kitties lol. I have two rescue dogs Pearl and Chief along with Flocki our Cockatoo, they are my best friends. I know there are many animals that can't be boarded for a wide variety of reasons. Im here to help. You can enjoy your time away and know your beloved pets are comfortable and cared for. Even if you just need someone to help medicate or walk your dog I'd love to help. Thank you for your time and consideration. I have great references. I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies! I can not board at my house. Unfortunately one of my rescue dogs does not do well with outside dogs. I work 9 to 6 Monday through Friday. I can come to your house before and after work, possibly on lunch. I can stay at your house while you are away. My children are grown and can take care of my home while I care for yours. I would be happy to follow any dietary needs your pet may have. If your pet needs medications I can ensure you your pet will get their medication no matter how difficult the task. I will be compassionate and understanding that your pet is scared and misses you and doesn’t know who I am. I will show your pet all the extra love they need while your away.
About: Your crazy dog stories could never top mine! Dog mom of over 15 years. Currently have a 3 yr old high energy dog. Comfortable caring for any animal of any age. I love all fur babies like my own! I am currently working full-time at night, 5 nights a week. Available mostly any day prior to 3:30pm. Overnights wouldn’t be possible, but could check on your pups before & after work! I am very well versed with all doggy situations. My current situation is not ideal for a dog to come to my home, but checking on yours in their “safe” environment works best!
About: I have taken care of all kinds of pets since the age of 13. I have worked with all ages from young and untrained to senior animals with special needs. I am a trusted animal care employee for many families in my home town. I am a current college student with a lot of time on my hands! I only have classes Monday-Thursday for a few hours between 11-2. I have a fenced in yard in the back of my house that is well taken care of. There are no other dogs or cats in the house. I love taking animals on walks and playing around with them. They will have my full attention. Whatever service or care you maintain in your home will be respected in my home and in my care.
About: Since I was little i have always loved spending time with animals. I got my first dog when I was in 3rd grade and ever since then I have been taking care of dogs. Last December I adopted a puppy and he has been my main priority since. Spending time with dogs is what I believe to be the best way to spend my time! Currently I am a student in highschool and I participate in Track and field. I work at a local golf club, but the schedule is pretty open. I would be open mainly weekends or most weekdays after 5:00 unless I have a track meet. Currently I care for three dogs in my home. Two littles and one very big dog. We have a large yard but we keep our dogs leashes when they go out. Therefore in order to give them exercise we take them on long walks. As a caretaker I would be sure to put your pets safety first as well as any rules you place.
“Colleen is terrific! I can recommend her 100% without reservation. On short notice, she was able to drop in several times a day to attend to one dog and three cats. The photos she sent each day were a definite plus. You won't be disappointed.”

“We literally could not have asked for a better sitter than Emily! She was absolutely amazing with our dog, Benji, over our wedding weekend. From the start, she was so patient and flexible, meeting with him ahead of time, spending multiple days getting to know him, and being incredibly understanding of his more anxious personality. Emily went above and beyond to make sure Benji felt comfortable and cared for, and she made us feel completely at ease while we were away. We never once worried because we knew he was in such great hands. Her communication, reliability, and genuine love for animals truly set her apart. We felt so safe with her the entire weekend and can’t recommend her enough to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, kind, and amazing with their pets. Thank you, Emily, for being such a huge part of making our wedding weekend stress free you’re the best!”

“Robyn was very punctual and sent timely updates after each visit. I knew our boy was in good hands in her care. I would absolutely work with Robyn again for my large breed guardian dog. Thank you Robyn”

About: My attention to detail and absolute top notch care. I will treat your pets like they are my own. I have experience with both senior animals and young. I will be available 7 days a week, currently only working part time, looking to make watching and taking care of animals a full time thing. I live in a pet friendly apartment, however, I do prefer to travel and take care of pets, in the comfort of their own homes.
“This was Jade's first time watching our pets and I was very please with the experience. The care and attention given was excellent as was her communication. We have another trip planned next month and I feel good knowing everyone at home will be in good hands.”
