House Sitting in Skaneateles Falls

“August was a wonderful caregiver to our 2 mid-sized labrador mix dogs, one 12yrs, one 6yrs. August slept in our home during our family's wk long vacation. They provided several walks a day, fed, medicated and supported a relaxing, consistent environment for our beloved pups. Our older dog required medical support while in Augusts' care. August maintained conversation, with health updates with our veterinarian and myself which allowed me peace of mind while we were traveling. August was able to set up and manage playdates and excursions with our friends for our 2 pups. August left our home and our pups in perfect shape and I was very grateful for their presence. I highly recommend August and will absolutely use them again.”

“Joey watches my dog very often when I am working overnights and out of town! Louie loves when he comes over and when I say “Joey is watching him”. He is always very tired because they played so hard and always has enough food and water. Definitely recommend joey to watch your pet…treats them like his own!”

“Rachel was fantastic with my two puppies she came on very short notice. I would not hesitate to use her again. Seamless would be a great description of her service.”

“Dana is extremely reliable! We recently moved out of town and she was still willing to occasionally come out and watch our boys. It means a lot to us to have a consistent sitter for the dogs when we are away!”

“Nikki has taken care of my dogs for a couple years now when we go on vacation. She is very attentive to their needs and although they missed us it is obvious they have been well loved while we were gone. Upon our return, my house is in good order she always cleans up after herself. I would highly recommend Nikki to care for your pets!”

“They say that dog is man’s best friend, but most of these people are liars. Or at least, they are terrible friends. When their house is on fire, most people would rather rescue their precious keepsakes or crying baby than the companion that’s been there through everything. But that’s not John. I have the utmost confidence that John will treat your dog with the utmost protectiveness like those mothers who can lift cars when their kids are trapped inside. Not that his house has ever been on fire or anything. They have at least four exits, an extinguisher, and never light candles even though they have them.”

“Over the years I have always been dependent on family to watch our dogs. I really wanted to find someone I felt comfortable with to fill in from time to time. Everyone in my family has dogs so we have always traded off. I found Kelly on Rover, she had good reviews, wasn’t too far away and offered to come do a meet and greet with Oakley, which made me comfortable right away. Kelly communicated with us, sent pictures and updates. I am so happy I made this decision, it was the right one. We came home to a happy pup. Thank you Kelly, and we look forward to seeing you again soon.”

“Taryn was awesome! Arriving home from a weekend trip, we had never seen our super high anxiety Lab so relaxed after being away from us! She was obviously tended to with lots-o-love!!! Taryn kept in touch all weekend with updates and pics! Five big stars!!!”

“Glenn was awesome. He took great care of our senior dog with anxiety issues. He listened to our concerns and made sure our dog’s needs were met appropriately. He kept us updated on how our dog was doing and even sent a few pictures. We will absolutely being using him again in the future”

“Jacob was a pit sitter for our dog Myth many times. Myth is a friendly chocolate lab, who was about 3 years old when Jacob looked after him. Myth got all the attention he needed! We felt very good leaving Myth in Jacob's care from regular feedings, walks, and playtime. We also appreciated Jacob's attention to other details (like taking out our garbage on garbage day!), and was very easy to communicate with. We recommend him highly.”

“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!!”

“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.”

“Kristin was amazing during the 5 days that I was gone. She came over multiple times throughout the day to let my dogs out and considering my dogs can be difficult, there were no concerns at all. Will absolutely be booking her again for my other upcoming vacations.”

About: Iv grown up with animals my whole life from early ages to senior pets . I understand how stressful leaving your pets are . I try to relive stress for you and your pets . I have two cats of my own and take care of both my parents and friends dogs . From walks to staying nights with them to frequent visits. I’m willing to talk about any and all requests special needs your pet may have . From meds to sending you photos of how they’re doing . And updating you when I’m with your pet if you like .

About: I grew up on a horse farm so animals have been the center of my life for as long as I can remember. I was raised caring for animals and that experience shaped not only my skillset, but my soul. Connecting with animals is second nature to me, and I believe it’s my greatest strength. Whether it’s providing gentle care to senior pets, keeping up with energetic puppies!, or understanding the subtle emotional cues of animals, I offer a level of awareness and devotion that I believe sets me apart. Your pets are more than just animals- they’re family, and I’ll care for them with the same love, responsibility, and attention I give to my own. I work for my family so I have the opportunity to plan my schedule which allows me the freedom and more availability to do other things I enjoy- like this! My top priorities are safety, comfort, and consistency. I take the time to understand each pet’s unique routine, personality, and needs — from feeding schedules and medications to favorite toys and walking routes. In a client’s home, I respect your space and follow your instructions to the letter, making sure your pet feels secure in their familiar environment. I’m highly attentive, always observing for changes in behavior or health, and I communicate regularly with updates and photos. My goal is for you to feel complete peace of mind, knowing your beloved pet is in the hands of someone who truly cares and is fully present.

“We were so lucky to find Marissa to watch Remi while we were away for a wedding! We were nervous to leave Remi alone with a "stranger" for the first time, however Marissa went out of her way to ensure we were comfortable. She came over a few days before to meet us and our pup so she could understand everything Remi needed for a smooth transition. Right off the bat we knew she would be a good fit for Remi, and we were suddenly at ease leaving Remi with her for the evening. She remained in contact through the night, sending pictures of Remi being his cuddly self. We would not hesitate to recommend Marissa to anyone and certainly hope she will come back to take care of our sweet boy in the future!”
