“John was fantastic! Our very shy dog with separation anxiety warmed up to him immediately, and our cat loved him too. He sent regular updates and pictures and took good care of the house. Plus he’s a vet! We felt so comfortable and knew our babies were in good hands!”
“Anastasia was so flexible. We needed to leave much earlier than expected and she showed up early at a moment’s notice. As always, our dogs love her. Thanks.”
About: I am very intuitive to what animals needs are. I’m patient and pets safety is my top priority! Comforting animals is a blessing that I can’t get enough of! My hours are a bit flexible but I am mainly have a lot of free time on Mondays & Fridays from 2-7. Saturdays and Sundays I am completely available. First off, I always read the directions multiple times. Make sure their food and leashes are easy to find. Then I always check the backyard before letting a dog out. I want to be sure there are no gaps in the fences or any other large wildlife they may want to chase. If in case of emergency, I would love to know what veterinary practice is used and emergency contacts if I’m not able to make direct contact.
“Marie was wonderful with Bailey. We were away for long stretch and Maria sent many photos and videos which helped being away less stressful. Maria was very communitive and respectful. I would not hesitate to ask Maria to take care of our Bailey.”
“Nia was great! She was responsive and sent a lot of updates and photos. She made our pups feel so comfortable and I could tell they loved her as soon as they met her. We totally trusted her in our home and with our boys. We will definitely book her again in the future!”
“Diana was fantastic and we would 100% book her again. Our two dogs took to her quickly at our initial meeting, which put me at great ease. She stayed in our home for 3 nights with our 11 month old puppy and our 14 year old dog. They both have completely different personalities and needs. Diana sent us videos and photos of the dogs, and little updates each day. The house was also well taken care of and looked as if no one had been here. We were able to enjoy our trip without worry and knew the dogs were in good hands. I would definitely recommend her for anyone looking for a sitter.”
“Cassandra was an excellent sitter. My two babies were well taken care of and happy. She sent us updates, pictures and videos. In the video, you can tell how much my babies felt comfortable and well cared for!!”
“Taryn did a wonderful job taking care of my dog while I was in Asia. I received numerous photos and updates and felt so relieved my girl was taken care of. Thank you, Taryn!!”
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 :)
About: I have been around animals my whole life. My range of experience goes from new born puppies and up. I have been dog sitting for my neighbor and some family friends for about 2 years now. I work 2 overnights a week at my job Sunday night and Tuesday night but would still be able to help out at night before going in and in the morning after I get out. I can make any accommodations for any of your animals needs whether that’s needing to only go out on a leash or following specific training plans.
“Elle took great care of our dog while we were away, sending us pictures and updates daily. She was respectful of our space, and left our apartment spotless. It was great to know our dog was well taken care of and we would highly recommend her as a pet sitter to anyone!”
“Everything went great! Debbie kept us informed and up to date on how the stay was going with pictures and videos, which is always comforting. Upon return home my two Great Danes did not seem stressed out at all, so I know they enjoyed having her here. The house was also in spotless condition! We will definitely have Debbie take care of our giant fur babies again in the future.”
About: Tell your dog I said hi!!! I have taken care of pets since I was 10. My family and friends rely on me regularly to keep their homes and animals safe! I am in between jobs right now, so I have all the time to care for your loved ones and can stay at your home during the day if wanted! I unfortunately can't have pets at my apartment but dog sitting is a way to get my pet snuggles in! You'll receive cute pet pictures if you want as well! I would come to your home and meet your pets first and familiarize their routine with you before you leave. Very open with communication for your needs.
“Sadie was a wonderful house/pet sitter. She communicated with me well, took care of my elderly cats with needs and watered my plants. I have every confidence that I will book her to stay with my cats again in the future. Thank you, Sadie!”
About: I’ve loved dogs since I saw my first one. Caring for animals is one of my favorite things to do. I want to make sure they are so comfortable, it’s like you never left. My partner Rebecca is, naturally, every animal’s best friend. She brings a calming vibe to the space that is hard to achieve for everybody. I am 18 years old and a full time high school student meaning I will be available any time from Friday night - Sunday evening. We have a very carefully crafted schedule for all of our pets at home. Making the dog feel comfortable and cared for is my biggest priority.

Eva B.
“Eva has pet sat for my sweet boy (cat), Simon, periodically for over a year. Initially I was nervous because he is a shy boy, but Eva is a true animal whisperer and he took right to her! Each time she stays with him I receive frequent picture updates which gives me peace of mind - not too mention she is a gifted photographer! I feel so much less anxiety going out of town knowing I can always rely on her to watch Simon. She is very friendly and personable and a pleasure to work with- would recommend!”

Patrick S.
“Pat is a kind and responsible person who you can trust to take excellent care of your “best friend “. Pat recently lost the rescue dog who was his companion for the last 13 years. While not ready to replace Buddy yet, he misses having a dog in the house and would be happy to care for yours while you’re away. Pat has watched dogs many times over the years for family members and neighbors who needed his help. He will play with, walk, and keep your dog company. I’m sure your dog will love staying with Pat.”
