About: I have over 15 years of experience caring for dogs and have built a reputation for being dependable, compassionate, and attentive. I have cared for dogs of all ages, breeds, sizes, and personalities, tailoring my approach to meet each dog's unique needs. Whether providing daily walks, playtime, administering medications, or simply offering companionship and affection, I strive to ensure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while in my care. I currently work part-time in real estate, which gives me a flexible schedule to provide dependable pet care. I love staying active, and spending time with dogs is something I truly enjoy. Whether it's a walk, drop-in visit, or overnight stay, I make sure every dog receives the attention, exercise, and affection they deserve. I am extremely attentive and always put each dog's safety and well-being first. I carefully follow your instructions, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise routines, and any special needs. I take the time to learn each dog's personality so they feel comfortable, secure, and loved while you're away. I treat every home with the utmost respect and always keep owners updated with messages and photos, so you can have complete peace of mind.

“Jamie was such a wonderful friend to my sweet dog, Bernice. This was Bernices first time home alone for such a long stretch. And Jamie really went out of her way to comfort her. And she managed to get Bernice outside and playing. Jamie is truly the best!”

About: I have extensive experience caring for dogs and have been around them my entire life. I currently care for two Labrador Retrievers of my own and regularly assist with caring for my uncle’s Great Dane. In addition, I have experience looking after a variety of dog breeds of all ages for friends and family. Due to this time spent surrounded by dogs I have developed a strong understanding of canine care. I enjoy spending time with dogs and am passionate about ensuring that they are healthy, happy, and well cared for. I'll have plenty of time this summer while off from school to care for your dog. I'm used to spending my days tending to my pups schedules so taking care of other dogs will come natural to me. I'm familiar with pet safety and will prioritize comfort and care while visiting with your dog. However that looks for you I will honor that.

About: I have 5 years of pet care experience and truly enjoy spending time with dogs. I have cared for dogs for family, friends, and neighbors, including walking, feeding, playing, giving fresh water, cleaning up after them, and keeping them comfortable while their owners are away. I am patient, gentle, and responsible, and I always try to follow each pet parent’s instructions carefully. I understand that every dog has its own personality, routine, and comfort level, so I take time to make pets feel safe and cared for. Pet care fits well into my daily routine because I am usually home and able to give pets regular attention throughout the day. I can help with feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and check-ins. I try to keep each pet’s routine as close as possible to what they are used to at home. I have a fenced-in house with 4 bedrooms, so I can safely keep pets separated when needed. This is helpful for pets who need quiet space, slow introductions, or extra comfort. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully for feeding, walks, medications, and routines. I keep the home clean, safe, and calm, and I make sure pets are supervised and comfortable during their stay.

About: We welcome housebroken dogs of all shapes, sizes, and breeds into our home. Our home is 100% pet friendly. Your housebroken dog will have full access to our home and fenced yard. We have a kennel if your dog prefers to sleep in one, or they are free to sleep anywhere in our home. Your dog will be part of our family! About this sitter: Your pet is most comfortable in their own home. Some pets are anxious and scared when their owners are away. Having me come to your home to care for your pets will allow them the security and comfort of being in their usual surroundings and able to be in their normal routine. During each visit, I will ensure your pet is fed, given time outside (as needed), and given lots of individual attention and play time. Why I love dog sitting I've been an animal lover all my life, and in particular, I have loved dogs since I can remember. My family always had dogs when I was growing up. I've been married for over 30 years and we have had at least one dog in the house at all times, but usually two or three. About my yard We live on 7 acres. There is a doggie door that leads to a fenced-in area. There are also trails through the woods for walks and open areas for play. Additionally, we have a comfortable deck in the fenced area in the event your dog wants to lay outside while at my home. My experience administering medication Yes. I have extensive experience giving dogs tablets and pills, applying various ointments and creams, and administering eye, nose, and ear drops. My husband and I recently retired to Skaneateles, so we are home almost all the time! Your pet(s) will have constant companionship while in our home. Your pet(s) will have full access to our home; however, I have a crate if preferred. Only my husband and I live in our home, so your pet(s) will feel safe and no strangers will be here.

“We could not ask for a better person to help care for our dogs !!! Joey was excellent with all three of them and completely trustworthy. I would absolutely leave him with our dogs at any time !!!!!!”

About: Hi! I am Nicky, I love pets. Right now I can't have a dog or a cat, so I'll love yours as if it were me own. Reach out to me anytime. I will be happy to help you, I work weekdays from 7:30am to 4:30pm, and we could accommodate the pet’s routine around that time. During each visit, or house sitting, I will make sure that they are fed, hydrated, given time outdoors and make they follow their daily routine.

“Brooke was great and cared for my dog while I was away and was commutative with me.”

“Kristin has been absolutely amazing with all our cats, and always goes above and beyond. It’s so important that I know my cats are in good hands while we’re away from them. I could not recommend her more.”

About: I have personally taken care of my own dogs my whole life. I also have experience with dogs of all sizes and personalities from working at rescues, doggy daycares, and veterinary clinics. In addition, I am currently working towards my degree in Animal Behavior and certification as a Canine Specialist. I currently work at a veterinary clinic M-F and am available on the weekends. I hope to extend my availability in the very near future! I have three four fur babies of my own and I promise to treat yours with the same amount of love, compassion, and devotion. Your best friend will be in very safe hands!

“Alyssa is doing a wonderful job with my anxious chihuahua! She has been so accommodating and has been willing to go slow to help him adjust. He usually takes many repeat introductions before he is ok with anyone new, but he absolutely adored her starting from the very first visit!”

“Lee was super awesome over the last 7/8 months. It was great to have her come check on my baby while I was at work. One less thing for me to stress about. Thank you! 😊🐶”

About: Since 2014, I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for family, friends, and neighbors. I’ve stayed at other’s houses and have had the pets stay at mine too. I love animals and spending time with them. I had a dog of my own who passed in 2024, and was his primary caretaker. I’ve also nannied human kids aged 8-11 for 3 years. When spending time with pets I am there to be with them and love to play, go for walks, n provide them with proper stimulation and care. I've cared for a dog that would get seizures and provided her with medication and support while she was having them. I've cared for puppies and worked on both crate and potty training with them. I've also cared for older pups that needed a bit more relaxing time or special attention if they were blind or sick. I hope you find me trustworthy to take care of your loved ones, as I will treat them as one of my own. I work from home and own a business, so am fairly flexible with time. I can work around a client’s schedule and accommodate for their pets’ needs. Currently I am available for visits. So, I can go to a clients home and be with the pet there or take them out for walks and excursions. I hope to eventually be able to provide care for dogs in my own home.

“Ana did a great job taking care of our girls who have a special bond and require a bit of care. She gave us updates and check ins with photos and was very responsive the whole time. Will book again!”

“Heather was great!! She took care of my Lizzie while i was out of town, and my poor pup got sick. Heather cleaned up all messes Lizzie made during times between walks, (lizzie is a tornado when left alone) she was always on time, did everything that was required of her and more too. Heather, you are a great worker, and care taker. I fully appreciate everything you did for Lizzie, and again, im sorry she destroyed half my house and you found yourself cleaning it up. You did a wonderful job, and i will most certainly be hiring you again”

“My cat felt safe interacting and snuggling up to John within minutes of first meeting him, and I think it’s because of John’s calm, intentional, gentle presence and demeanor. I couldn’t believe this is his first time cat-sitting because he was so good with my cat. He was quick to respond and was communicative throughout the visits, and asked many questions to get to know my cat’s routines and preferences. John was so polite and easygoing. He went above and beyond caring for my cat for the weekend, and this was a last minute scheduling given last minute plans. So grateful for John.”
