House Sitting in Sand Ridge

“Lee is the absolute best!!! My furry son loves her. I feel so comfortable with her taking care of my house while I’m gone. Jax can’t wait to see her again.”

Jasmine F.

“Allison took great care of my fur babies! She took them on last-minute and did great with all my detailed instructions for caring for them, haha! I’d definitely recommend her if you’re looking for someone who is kind and understands dogs’ needs!”

About: I’ve been around pets my entire life, mostly dogs. I’ve owned my own dogs since I was 12, and I currently own a German shepherd and a Coton De Tulear. I consider myself a true animal enthusiast and I believe that caring for them is more than a chore, but something you need to be passionate about to give them the best care they deserve! QUIET HOURS: My quiet hours daily are from 10pm - 7:30am. During these hours I will not respond to requests or messages, however you can still submit them. HOUSE SITTING: I am available for full day visits (except Mon & Wed mornings + weekends) for dogs who need constant care ONLY. If your dog is fine being alone for the majority of the day, please book through my drop-in visits instead. Currently I am not doing overnight stays due to certain circumstances concerning my own pets. DROP-IN VISITS: For pets who are fine being on their own during the day but need check-in’s + playtime throughout. It’s all dependent on what my clients homes are equipped with! If you have a fenced yard and high energy dogs, I’m more than happy to take them outside to play and explore, or play inside. Treats are always an option, as are pets, cuddles, and plenty of love for your fur babies!

“Paige watched our senior dog and GSD puppy for an overnight house sitting stay. Everything went smoothly with Paige. Our pups were well cared for & we enjoyed receiving pics of our girls both days that Paige spent with them.”

About: What sets me apart is my experience working with dogs of all personalities and needs, especially reactive dogs and strong pullers. I have completed training with my own reactive chocolate lab through Justin’s Canine Campus, along with continuing training work at home, which has taught me patience, consistency, and how to read dog behavior closely. As a teacher, I’m dependable, calm, and attentive, and I naturally bring those qualities into caring for pets. I’ve loved animals since I was young and also continue to volunteer at animal shelters (Helping Hounds & HumaneCNY) giving me experience with dogs who may need extra patience, structure, or reassurance. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine. As a teacher, I have summers off and will soon be working part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility for walks, playtime, and quality attention. During the school year, I’m also an early bird and start my mornings with an average 2-mile walk with my own dog, so staying active and keeping pets on a routine is something I truly enjoy. I care for every pet as if they were my own and always focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. In a client’s home, I try to keep pets on their normal routine with feeding, walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, and plenty of attention and affection. I also make sure their space stays clean and that they feel calm while their owners are away.

“Amanda is incredible. She is prompt, communicates great, and is so caring. My dog had surgery and she was so good with him. Thank you Amanda!!”

Jordan L.

“I highly recommend Jenn. She took excellent care of my two small dogs! They warmed up to her immediately and they don’t do that with everyone.”

Lacey M.

“She was so amazing! Leah loved her so much I dont think she was as happy to see me lol She sent photos very often and i never wondered how Leah was doing.. Shes awesome and We will definitely be using her again in the future.”

Marissa H.

“Amanda was absolutely wonderful! So kind and considerate and followed our schedule with our high anxiety dog and two cats perfectly and with no issues! I could tell when we had our meet and greet that she has a great heart, and our dog responded to her very well- she’s not always welcoming of people she doesn’t know, but Amanda won her over in no time. Very happy that we found someone that we can trust our fur babies with! ?”

Melissa K.

“We have two VERY different dogs. One is elderly, does not get around well anymore, and can be a bit stand-offish. The other is young, large, energetic, and can be protective and anxious, especially at first. John was very accommodating and patient when first meeting Abby and Archie in a meet-and-greet, as well as when he came to spend the day with them. By the end of the day, he and both dogs seemed to have bonded well. John was respectful of our home, listened carefully to all of our instructions and suggestions, and followed through well with all of them. We would definitely call on John again!”

About: I have cared for my own dog for the past 13 years and sadly he died in February 2025. I walked him around my neighborhood consistently for all those years and now having that routine gone is difficult. Before having him as my own, I also helped take care of my families dog for several years. I am experienced in caring for dogs of all ages and demeanors and all sizes too :) I am attending SUNY Cortland right now and that is the only large barrier in my weekly schedule. I can care and/or walk dogs after 7pm on Monday and Wednesdays. I am available after 4pm on Tuesday and Thursday. Friday and Saturday I can provide care all day with a days notice. Without notice I will most likely be working on Friday and therefore not available until after 4pm that day. I can house-sit on Fridays and Saturdays and into Sunday afternoon as well! I will maintain a safe and calm environment for your pet while caring for them and allow them to initiate any desired games or actions. I am willing to accommodate however you prefer for your dog when caring for them, just let me know of anything necessary :) Any questions or concerns for your dog's care are welcomed and appreciated as I prefer a heads up in advance of anything unusual or to keep an eye out/for. Thanks :)

“Molly was fantastic! She communicated well, she sent daily updates, and our dogs seemed so happy with her stay. Can't recommend Molly enough!”

Travis F.

“Thank you Jack for your communication and thoroughness throughout the weekend. I appreciate how much care you showed Ranger, and how much he enjoyed having you!”

Benjamin A.

“Thomas was fantastic with our girls! He provided detailed updates throughout the stay and was incredibly observant, paying close attention to their needs and routines. Our husky can be a bit high-maintenance, but Thomas handled everything with care and made sure she was well taken care of. He was reliable, communicative, and treated our home with respect. We felt completely comfortable having him stay at our house and had peace of mind knowing our girls were in such good hands. We would absolutely book with Thomas again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive sitter.”

Molly & Nikola T.

“Adrianna stayed at our home to watch our two dogs at our cat while we were out of town for several days. She kept us updated daily with messages and pet photos, giving us great sense of peace that our home and pets were looked after. Thank you again for your wonderful service, Adrianna!”

Angela D.

“Emily was great! She loved our babies just like we would! She followed all directions and cleaned up the house as if she was never there! We appreciate her and would hire her again :)”

Sarah L.

“Great with both my puppy and senior dog”

“Yelitza was a top-notch, superb dog sitter through and through! She is a lovely person and took such great care of our doggies and home. Our pups loved her, and she sent frequent lovely updates. Highly recommended!”

“Alexis did an amazing job caring for our home and older dog while we were away. We plan to book with Alexis again in the future, and happily recommend her service to others! Thank you so much for all your effort and great communication!!”

About: I’ve been around pets my whole life and genuinely love all animals. I had my first cat at age 4 and grew up with both cats and dogs. I also lived with a rescued pit bull for several years (she had a rough past and didn’t do well around other dogs), so I have some experience with anxious pups on walks. I understand how important it is to build trust and work at a pet’s pace. Whether your pet is social and playful or a bit shy and needs space, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at and give them the best care possible. Even with a full-time job in finance, I make time for what matters—and for me, that includes animals. I work a standard weekday schedule, but my evenings and weekends are all open for pet care. The flexibility of my job may allow for a late morning - early afternoon check-in. Whether its a walk, evening check-in, or weekend drop-ins, I’m happy to build a schedule that fits your pet’s needs. I also spend most of my downtime at home, so if your pets need longer visits, I can give them plenty of attention and company. In your home, I’m respectful of your space and committed to keeping your pet’s routine as normal and comforting as possible. I’ll follow your instructions closely—whether it’s feeding, medications, walking schedules, or just the way your pet likes their favorite toy tossed. I know every animal is different, and I take the time to get to know their personality and needs. If we arrange care in my home, your pet will be treated like one of my own. I have a calm, pet-friendly space and three cat companions who are used to other animals and are gentle and well-socialized. I always do a slow introduction and only bring in pets that I know will be comfortable in that environment. Safety and comfort are my top priorities, whether I’m in your home or you're trusting your pet with mine.
