Pet Sitting in Searsburg

About: Animals have been central to my life from an early age, and few things bring me more peace and joy than caring for the beloved pets of others—domestic and exotic alike. For over a decade I’ve provided quality care for cats and dogs of all sizes and ages in both my home and those of my clients’. Ten years ago, I helped launch the STAY WILD Rehabilitation Center in Trumansburg, NY, where I gained extensive hands-on experience rescuing and rehabilitating sick or injured domestic and farm animals—including dogs, cats, horses, and sheep—as well as local wildlife. Through this work, I developed advanced skills in administering medications of all kinds, wound care and maintenance, and specialized feeding procedures for high-needs animals. I’m confident in situations that require extra patience and care at any stage of your pet’s life — from potty training and housebreaking, to teething and the “terrible twos,” all the way through the gentle, attentive support senior pets deserve. ❤️ I am currently finishing the final credits of my college degree, which gives me a flexible and dependable daytime schedule. Because my coursework is remote, I’m able to prioritize consistent, timely drop-ins and structure my days around my Rover clients. I’m available Monday–Friday from 9am–5pm and Saturdays from 9am–2pm, and I strive to maintain consistent visit windows for every household. I specialize in dependable drop-in visits and attentive walks in your pet’s familiar environments. My car is set up with a dog hammock and pet safety seatbelt to transport your pupper to a nearby park or trail if desired! I prioritize safe and secure leash handling, stay aware of surroundings by avoiding headphone use, and tailor the pace and distance to your dog’s comfort level and energy. I understand how important consistency and routine are, and I carefully follow all feeding, medication, exercise, and care instructions exactly as provided. With a background in banking and childcare, I bring responsibility, discretion, and respect into every home I enter. You can expect punctual visits, clear communication, and photo updates so you feel assured and at ease while I’m with your furry family member ❤️. I will treat every pet with the same patience and love I give my own senior pup.

“This is the second time having Tina come to my house for my dog Ruby. What a relief to have such a responsible and friendly person feed her and take her out while I’m away. I just love getting the photos of Ruby playing outside too. It definitely puts my mind at ease when I’ve had to be away from her. I will definitely book with Tina again! Thank you Tina!”

“Clara was great! We hadn’t used this app before and she met with us in person before our trip to help us get comfortable with the process. Took excellent care of our cats and provided pictures for every visit. If you’re on the fence about finding someone I would definitely vouch for Clara. Very happy with the care she provided.”

“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!”

“James is my go-to when I need help with my little Boston terrier. Pepper comes back so incredibly happy and tuckered out after every walk. It's a beautiful thing. Thank you James!”

“Kaylee was great! She was able to accommodate me on short notice, and helped me out with early morning dog walks during the worst of the winter weather. She was extremely reliable and always cheerful despite the very cold temperatures and snow. My dog was always excited to see her. Would definitely hire again!”
