“Elizabeth was fantastic with our dogs! She was reliable, communicative, and clearly loves animals. We returned from our trip and found our animals were happy and well cared for. Elizabeth went above and beyond and made sure our dogs had comfort during fireworks which typically cause them to have high anxiety. I’ll definitely book with them again!”
“Beth was fantastic. Sent great updates (even when my cat was being skittish) and made last minute extra drop ins for my cat when we got delayed getting home. Very friendly and communicative.”
“Amanda did an awesome job. We had a last minute booking and she even went out of her way to do a meet and greet the day of the booking. The updates were great and she even spent some extra time playing with our dogs. Would recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter. Thank you Amanda!”
“Megan was awesome with our elderly mastiff. Communication was great. She gladly extended her services for an extra day on short notice. I will definitely use her services again in the future if needed.”
“Amazing sitter! Followed everything for all of my kitties perfectly and kept me up to date with pictures. The kitties seemed to like them as well. Also kept in great communication with any issues or concerns while I was away for holidays. Highly recommend! 😊”
“Naomi is our “go-to” caregiver for our cats, she goes above and beyond to make sure they’re taken care of and we can relax while we’re away knowing that she’s always quick to communicate, she’s reliable, trustworthy and clearly cares about our pets.”
About: I have experience with all different breeds of dogs of all different sizes and ages. I have a range of experience in care such as administering eye drops and insulin, as well as bathing. I take care of my own pets daily and would love to help others do the same. I’m currently taking a break from schooling so am very available for their needs. I feed my families 2 dogs and a cat, I have had many pets in my life and cared for them all attentively and lovingly. I can pick up on small behavioral changes in case somethings wrong and am very observant of their health and well being.
About: Who better than a veterinarian to take care of your best buddies while you're away? I am a new DVM graduate, and am happy to take care of your pets, no matter how old or young, especially those with special needs! I am certified in dog/cat CPR, and am comfortable providing any care needed. *Please note*: My providing pet sitting/dog walking/pet care services does NOT constitute a VCPR, and I cannot provide medical advice unless a VCPR is explicitly established in accordance with NY State Law* I prefer to stay in the client's home especially for dogs as this is generally much more comfortable for the dog to stay in their own environment. For overnight stays, I like to meet the dogs beforehand with owners present. This way they are assured it is okay to have me in their space for staying with them.
About: Hi, I’m Viv! I’m a stay-at-home mom to a toddler boy who absolutely adores dogs. My passion for pet care began back in 2007, and since then, I’ve had the joy of raising six dogs—two of whom required specialized care due to significant health issues such as diabetes and kidney issues. This experience has given me a deep understanding of administering medications, injections, managing special diets, and maintaining consistent routines for dogs with unique needs. My husband and I recently adopted a high-energy puppy who keeps us on our toes! We live on a spacious property with plenty of room for walks and outdoor playtime. While our yard is unfenced, we use a secure dog line to ensure our pups can enjoy the outdoors safely and freely. At this time, I’m available for boarding at my home 7 days a week, and drop in visits/walks only on Sundays. If you have any questions or want to learn more, feel free to reach out—I’d love to connect with you! Last minute requests are typically accepted and welcomed ❤️ I am currently taking on pet care full time! I am open all days and hours and can accommodate my schedule easily. I am easy to work with 😊 I’m basically home all day so I’ll be able to give your pup some extra love and care ❤️ My home is also baby proofed with gates so I have the means of separating the pups between rooms if need be, however I have no issues with them making themselves at home and cozying up on the furniture 😊
About: I've loved and cared for dogs and cats since I was a child. I now work remotely, so I can be quite flexible in terms of care and stays. While I live in Homer, NY, I currently work remotely. My schedule is extremely flexible, even with short notice. And I love pets of all types of sizes. While I do not currently have pets of my own, I lived as both a kid and adult with both dogs and cats. I'll keep them safe and shower them with love!
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have always had a deep love for them. While I’ve primarily worked with horses and cows, I’ve also spent years around dogs and cats. We have our own rescue pup at home, and I’ve helped care for everything from small lap dogs to German Shepherds. There’s always been a family or friends dog around, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or just keeping them company, I treat every animal like they’re my own. I currently have two side jobs that I have full control over, so I’m able to be flexible and available any time of day or week to care for your pet. Whether it’s early mornings, midday check-ins, or evenings, I can adjust my schedule to meet your needs! When I’m caring for pets in their home, I do my best to stick to their normal routine so they feel safe and comfortable. I’ll follow any instructions you leave closely - whether it’s feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, or giving medications. I respect your home, keep things clean and tidy, and make sure your pets get lots of love and attention while you’re away. I know how important it is to feel confident your pets and your space are in good hands!
“Briana, and her little boy, always exceed expectations. My animals will be asking me to go back on the road just so they can see her again. Rover hasn’t recognized livestock yet, but Briana does!”

John G.
“I have known John for about 18 years now. In that time he has shown the utmost respect towards animals from caring for his own personal pets to helping the hurt animal on the side of the road. John is a hard worker and will be able to see any project through to completion. He would quickly become a top worker in your organization and would show his care for animals through his work.”

Aaron F.
“Aaron is one of the most kind, gentle souls I’ve ever met. I’ve known him for over 22 years, and I can confidently say there are few in this world I trust more than him. Every animal I’ve ever seen him with, including my own dog, is both safe and loved in his presence. I never let anyone other than my mother watch my dog, but if I needed to, I’d hand her to him without a second thought. He’s trustworthy and dependable in ways most could never achieve. I couldn’t possibly recommend him more to care for anyone’s pets. He is a diamond in the rough, and your pets will always be in great hands.”
