House Sitting in Slaterville Springs

“Daniela spent the weekend with our two puppies and made them so comfortable and happy! Koda can be anxious sometimes but he warmed right up to her and had a great weekend. She took them for plenty of walks and car rides, sent loads of updates and pictures. She stayed with them during our wedding weekend and I was stress free knowing they were safe and happy with her!”

“Sarah did a fantastic job with our excitable pittie girl. She sent great pictures that showed how comfortable our dog felt with her and all the fun they had together. I'm almost as excited as Zazu is that she has found a new best friend in Sarah.”

“Ariana did a wonderful job with our two dogs. She sent lots of updates and pictures. It’s a relief to have someone we can trust to care for our furry babies!”

About: I am a true animal lover!I have a genuine passion for all animals, and I truly believe they deserve love and respect, especially when their families are away. I currently volunteer at the Ithaca SPCA, where I walk dogs every Sunday. This experience has not only deepened my love for animals but has also taught me the importance of providing each pet with individual attention and care. I understand that every animal has its own personality and needs, and I strive to cater to those while ensuring they feel safe and loved. When you choose me as your animal sitter, you can rest assured that I will treat your pets as if they were my own. I will provide them with the same respect, love, and attention they are used to, so they can feel comfortable and happy while you’re away. I work from home and am able to take time for daily check ins and have weekend availability as well. Taking care of animals truly brings me so much joy and I am beyond happy to make the time that is necessary to take care of your sweet pets. I currently have no pets living in my home, but have a few feline friends that frequent my apartment. I know that a pet is as important as a family member and holds such a special place in the lives of it's owner. I make sure to provide all necessary attention, love and nurturing to a pet when needed.

“Caroline is fantastic! I highly recommend her for caring for your pets. She responded quickly and provided updates! She's very friendly and respectful and my pets enjoyed her company. I would use her services again.”

“Ashley was wonderful with our 16 year old lab. Our dog requires lots of extra care which Ashley didn’t mind at all. We felt comfortable and had peace of mind knowing our dog was in good hands. Definitely recommend her for your pet.”

“Claudia got along great with Skye. The dog was happy and the house in order when we got home. Claudia was on time and sent us updates with pictures. Her care met and exceded our expectations. We look forward to having Claudia back again. Thank you Claudia!”

“We came home from a four-day trip to a happy, healthy dog who received Rose's excellent care. She was equally gracious about caring for our house, even our ailing basil plant. And her pet photography gave us the best photos we've had of our dog in a long time. She's also a joy to be around. We would give her ten stars if we could.”

About: I grew up with cats but have gotten lots of puppy-love taking care of the pups of neighbors, family and friends! I am patient and take the time to meet dogs where they're at, whether that's running around the lawn or lazy belly rubs on the floor. I believe in respecting pups and kitties alike, and am always careful to watch body language and learn their boundaries so that we both have the best experience possible. I have chronic pain that can flare up without warning; I am receiving treatment that has made those flare-ups much rarer, so there should be no issues when it comes to caring for your furry friend, but if there ever is a hiccup I will communicate promptly and clearly. When taking care of any pet I like to write down any and all notes on the pets' care routine and preferred habits in the home so I can make sure they are comfortable as possible while their normal humans are out and about.

“Rachel did such a wonderful job caring for our dogs over the weekend. She provided excellent communication and lots of cute photos. She sent maps of all their walks and we returned to a spotless house and happy pups as well as cute photos of their time together. We will definitely use her services again in the future. Thank you again!”

About: I’ve taken care of all different kinds of pets from one hundred pound dogs to chinchillas and reptiles. I was lucky enough to grow up in a neighborhood with lots of animals and found great joy in taking care of them. As a kid I volunteered at my local shelter and saw first hand how each animal has a different story. Above all I love pets and understand what your pet means to you. I am college student with a flexible schedule. I am available weekends and weekdays and can work with you and your schedule to make sure your pet gets the care they need. I prioritize quality walks and play time. I care about your pets well being and understand that meaningful one on one attention helps them feel safe and happy. I make an effort to be fully present during our time together, creating a calm and intimate experience tailored to each pet’s needs.

About: Hi, I’m Camilla and I’m Dog and cat mom! I love taking long walks or just spending time with your fur babies! Volunteer with ASPCA and Wildlife rehab center. I am an Environmental Biology, nature and animal loving Senior at Cornell, and I’m spending my summer in Ithaca! I love going on walk and spending time with pets, I will work with your schedule! Constant watch on the pet, even if they are well behaved. I love sending and taking photos to give to the owners so they can see how happy their pet is!

About: I have always lived with pets! :) I grew up with dogs Ella and Koikkie when I was little, and loved walking and playing with them. In college I couldn't have a dog, but I did get my first cat, Oliver. He was more or less feral when we found him but with lots of love and food, he became a lap cat with a happy home on a farm. Two years ago I moved to Ithaca, and have two 3-year old Siberian cats, Nadja and Moose. They need a lot of exercise and play which includes taking them out on leashes to walk around the block. I also frequently cat sit for my friends who have a mix of young and old cats. I'm currently working part-time 5 days a week. I am available for weekend pet-sitting and short visits during the week. I work until 3pm on weekdays, and am available at most times on the weekend. I am more than happy to stay in your home with your pet, and would love to give them treats and attention. I love spending time with pets and can send you daily photos at their cutest moments :)

“Karina did a great job with Bella and was openly kind, courteous, trusting, attentive, responsible, respectful, communicative and just all around the perfect pet sitter! She was so accomodating and helpful from the initial time I reached out to her. I was so relieved and happy when she said she could help! Bella, enjoyed time with Karina too. I could tell bc when I arrived home Bella was well adjusted and it looked like I had never left. Definitely will book Karina again and recommend her to all. You won't be disappointed!”

About: I grew up in a household full of animals and have been pet sitting for neighbors for as long as I have been old enough. I've had dogs, guinea pigs, a rabbit, chickens and numerous other small creatures who I have loved over the years. My profile picture is of my parent's golden doodle! I am currently a physical therapy student at Ithaca College who is spending the summer here in Ithaca and looking to dog walk/sit or pet sit! I am not planning on doing any boarding of animals because of my household's allergies but I am available for house sitting, drop-in visits and walking!

“Colleen was communicative and showed up for a last minute request. She was great with my pittie and we’ll definitely be booking her again in the future!”
