About: I've owned and cared for cats and dogs my whole life and want the opportunity to care for yours while you're away! I recently had to put down my sweet Marta (Dachshund & Chihuahua) of 16 years and i am looking to fill the void of her absence until I'm ready to own a new puppy. I will show each and every animal the love and care they deserve while under my watch. I work full time with NYS DOT and have been for 12 years. I work Monday to Friday from 0700 - 3:30 p.m. Any time after that I am available to assist you with your pet care needs. Saturdays and Sundays I am free all day. I have my front and back doors always closed to ensure no accidental escapes occur. I let my dog on the couch/furniture as my home is their home.

About: I have always been the animal person in my family, and my community. I’ve always had dogs in my life, but where I’m living I can’t have one of my own, so I’m more than happy to take care of your pets when you need a break! I currently am not working, and I have a farm job starting in June. My availability is very flexible, so more time for hanging out with pups! I can’t bring pets home, but I am very experienced with walking dogs and getting them the exercise they need. I can give your animals lots of love and attention and make sure they are safe and healthy.

Sometimes they come with me for walks or drop ins as long as a meet and greet happens where I see a positive interaction between your animal and my babies. If it's not a good match then I either don't have the girls with me or for wont take the boarding request as they live with me full time.
“Yuting did a great job taking care of our little guy Rowdy. She even came to meet us and Rowdy before the date she would be sitting for us. She sent us pictures and updates while we were out enjoying our anniversary together. It was so nice to have the day and not worry about leaving him. We knew he was in good hands! Thank you Yuting!!”
“Julia was such a great dog sitter for my dog. He’s used to me being around 24/7 so I’m always worried about leaving him home alone. She took great care of him and put up with all his weird quirks and routines.”
“Five Stars for Coleman! Coleman is a true gem! Our poodle Coby is very attached to us and usually gets anxious when we leave—even if just one of us steps out. So we were absolutely amazed at how relaxed he was with Coleman. From the moment Coleman arrived, Coby liked him. Coleman clearly has a calm, kind energy that animals pick up on right away. Coby was so content during Coleman’s stay that he didn’t even wake up when we returned home—he stayed fast asleep on his bed! That has never happened before. We’re so grateful to have found someone we can trust with our beloved pup. Highly, highly recommend Coleman!”

Monique J.
“Monique is WONDERFUL! I actually met her at her job, Petland. I was shopping for a new collar and some toys for my boxer mix and I was going on about how I was trying to find someone to watch him for the weekend while I went away on business, and she mentioned that she actually did dog sitting and would love to do it. The next day I met with her and my little Billy got to see her house and meet her dogs, everyone immediately hit it off amd it was set! She sent me LOADS of pictures and videos of Billy having fun with her and her dogs, even ahowing me that she took him to the pool. It really helped reassure me, especially since this is the first time spending the weekend away from him. She really is the greatest and her love for dogs is evident.”
