Pet Sitting in Shortsville

“Bonnie, Scottish Terrier was treated like royalty with Whitney. She sent photos every day. She brushed Bonnie's coat daily. Whitney, Bom and Kevin are great hosts. They are a fun loving animal family.”

“Kathy deserves 5 plus stars! This was our first time using Rover, & we were a bit nervous about leaving Bo with a stranger. But during the meet & greet, Bo took to Kathy like a new friend. She was so calming for our dear pup, & they hit it off from the start. Kathy sent several great photos from every visit, & gave a very detailed report card to assure us that he was happy & adjusting while we were gone. She also took in our mail, & watered our plants. Everything looked great in the house when we returned, and I think our pup was happy to have such a good”

“Deja - is an engaged pet watcher. She knows a lot about animals, and provided great care for my two cats when I was out of town. She was attentive to my instructions and if she had a question about anything texted me for further clarification. I’m grateful to have someone who loves what she does.”

“Another vacation without having to worry about my cats!! Maria does such a good job looking after them: she sends detailed reports and pictures, and most importantly when I return home I can tell my cats have been well cared for. My elderly cat who needs medicine (this time by oral syringe) twice a day to help her metabolism feels like she’s kept it up/ not lost weight which puts my mind at ease. My shy cat isn’t scared and afraid she’s her normal self as Maria is a person she trusts to be in her space.”

“Haille is so wonderful with our puppy, Charlie! She is great at communicating how Charlie is doing, sending photos and helping to following the puppy training when she checks in on her. We will certainly be booking with her again when we need someone to check-in on our pup!”

“I have known Trevor since he was a kid. He has always been a kind hearted person with a love for animals. He has watched my dogs in the past and they would get excited every-time they see him. They even often choose to sit by him instead of me!”

“Christian continues to be my "go to" for prompt, kind and affectionate attention and walks for Lucy Dog at lunchtime when I am at work. Christian takes unprompted and quick action when unexpected situations arise. He is intuitive, mature and responsive, and he genuinely cares for my dog. I highly recommend Christian without reservation.”

“Cindy took great care of our 3 boys while we were on vacation. She sent detailed reports daily and they seemed happy and comfortable on our return. Her flexibility made her easy to work with for scheduling and meet and greet beforehand. We would use again!”

“Devin was awesome, he really went above and beyond for my cat and I felt safe leaving him in his care!”

“Corey was wonderful for a last minute drop in visit. I felt very comfortable having her come into my home and caring for my fur baby. Will definitely use her again hands down.”

“We’ve use Lynette a couple of times to help with our cat when we are away! She always does a great job and is very reliable!”

“Sarah is the first one I call to care for my 2 dogs when we have to leave them behind. She does a great job caring for them and I highly recommend her!”

About: I have been an animal caregiver for more than 20 years and have taken care of dogs, cats, horses, donkeys, sheep and birds. In addition to having a lot of experience, I can offer basic training for dogs and horses including positive reinforcement and natural horsemanship (i. e. Parelli games and round penning). I am also comfortable riding English and Western styles. Besides taking care of animals, I have also taken care of large estates as well as farms and private residence in the Boston and Los Angeles areas, as well as internationally in Italy, Uruguay and Argentina. High values are important to me and giving peace of mind with responsibility and reliability is something I strive for. I have recently relocated to the Western NYS area to be closer to family and am happy to be at your service. I am a freelance writer creating my own hours, which allows myself to be available to your pets full time. I do not do boarding at this time and prefer to stay where the animal is most comfortable. I am willing to consider doing drop in service if it is close by or travel time must be paid. I believe dogs need more time and attention so I am not comfortable crating a dog for a long period of time. I believe that exercise, atension and training cure 90% of pet issues.So I do not like animals to be alone too long especially since they me be a little anxious with their families away. I also have no issues doing horse care or caring for other farm animals.

“Samantha has been pet sitting on and off for family, friends, and acquaintances of those friends. Mostly through word of mouth, she has always had a good rapport with both pet and owner - glad to see she's still excited to pet sit as she has always been the best sitter I have personally had!”

“Dianna was so great with my nervous pup Auggie. She was super responsive leading up to and during his stay with her and her family and I knew I was leaving him with someone knowledgeable, kind, and trustworthy. My dog can be very nervous with new people and rarely has to stay away from me, and Dianna was so helpful and knew exactly what to do with my nervous boy (and spoiled him while he was there). I would highly recommend her services and would definitely trust her to watch Auggie again next time we’re in the area and need doggie care!”

“I have 2 cats and one dog. Lindsay came over regularly to walk my one dog and also fed the cats while I was on vacation very often. She was very attentive, the pets all love seeing her. She's very punctual when it comes to having to feed the pets at specific times and walking the dog. She has been our sole dog walker for 3 years.”

“Caitlin does an excellent job! My pup Keala does awesome with her. I am looking forward to having Caitlin as a permanent dog sitter over the next year. I highly recommend her services.”

“Couldn’t ask for a better sitter. Showed up on time and took great care of Mr. Enzo. Highly recommended!”

“I’ve known Sarah four years and she’s what I would call “one of the good ones in the world.” She’s an exceptional friend, daughter, mother and human being who is honest, enthusiastic about life and especially passionate and loving with her dog, Rooney, and every other living creature. As an example, a Monarch flew into her home late last fall and instead of trying to shoo it back out into the cold, she went online and discovered it was a male and promptly named him George Louis. Then she researched what and how to feed George Louis and he happily lived with her for two months until the end of his lifespan. Only Sarah would put the time and care into nurturing this beautiful butterfly. She’s like Dr. Doolittle. In fact, the only one who is perhaps more fanatical about animals is me with my dog, Annie. And Sarah is the only one I leave Annie with knowing she’s in the best of hands. If you love your dog, Sarah is the sitter for you. Highly recommend without reservation.”

“As long as I’ve known her she’s been an animal lover. She watches my cat for me while I’m at work and I’m convinced my cat loves her more than me. I would highly recommend her as your dog walker or pet sitter.”
