Personalized care for your dog or cat - Fleming
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Fleming
“It appears Nicholas enjoyed his time with Mary too much! He has been moping around the house getting used to a home without more people and pets. It was great receiving daily pictures and the care couldn’t have been more loving. I will definitely try to book with Mary whenever I travel in the future.”
“We boarded our new addition Chubbs with Dan and Teresa for 5 nights while we were out of state on vacation. I received at least one daily update with photos every day Chubbs was there. It was definitely some peace of mind knowing he was taken care of so well. I had brought Chubbs to meet Dan and Teresa the week before for introductions as and a quick tour of the boarding house. Right away Chubbs seemed at home and didn’t look like he would have any problem returning. I would recommend this kennel 100% and will definitely be sending Chubbs back to board again when needed.”
“We are so grateful to have found Ellen. She was so accommodating when we booked somewhat last minute and we got updates each morning which set our minds at ease. Her team is awesome and our dog Henry was so comfortable there I swear he didn't want to leave. He seemed super happy upon pick up!”
“Dixie was lovely! Our dog Hudson had a great time following her around and going on walks on her spacious property. Dixie was very attentive -she even slept on the couch by Hudson’s crate to make sure he was ok.”
“Samantha was fantastic. She took great care of my older German Shepherd, Raven, which included special food and morning and evening medications. She checked in multiple times with pics which made me feel good and confident that Raven was in good hands. I'm already planning my trip next year and hope Raven can hang out at Samantha's again! Thank you!”
“Did a great job watching our puppy, even handled a last minute change in medications due to a an injury the day before drop off! Happy puppy was dropped off, happy puppy was picked up! Will book again soon.”
“Jaclyn took such good care of my dog Lily while I attended Biscoland music festival. She sent me frequent photos and updates about how Lily was doing. She understood my dog has some food aggression and she accommodated her by feeding her separately and supervising her during meals. She also helped care for an eye injury that Lily had sustained a few days prior. I highly recommend Jaclyn’s dog sitting services to anyone looking for peace of mind. Thank you for all your help and clear communication, Jaclyn! I will definitely call you next time I am in the area and need dog sitting!”
“Pam is wonderful and I could tell our sweet girl loved it at Pam’s place. I’ve already rebooked! So thankful to have found her! She sent me photos and a video to assure me my beagle was doing well! Thank you Pam!”
About: Peppy Pet Care was launched at the end of 2018 in Ithaca, NY by myself and my animal-loving, entrepreneurial eleven year old daughter. Together we worked to provide outstanding pet sitting services to Ithaca and Lansing pet owners. Beginning in 2021, I started officially working on my own, as my daughter is busy pursuing other interests and activities. I treat pets in my care as I would my own. I am considerate, patient, reliable and caring and trustworthy. I treat each visit like an adventure and make it the warmest and most wonderful experience for each animal. I look forward to meeting you and your cat/dog and discussing your care needs. Thank you in advance for considering my services!!! I'm available both weekdays and weekends. Mornings, afternoons, evenings, as well as late night. I am typically in town during holidays and update my online calendar frequently. I provide care in client homes only at this time. I'm always vigilant when entering and exiting client homes, so as not to allow pets to slip out.
“Kikka loved her weekend with Maxine. She was well taken care of and Maxine was very quick to respond to questions and sent plenty of pictures and updates! Highly recommend!”
About: Hi Neighbors, I am a Natural World Enthusiast looking to provide support to pets and their owners in the community. My heart is geared towards animals. I have decades worth of experience caring for dogs, cats and other small pets, from my own to friends and clients in the professional setting. My goal is to provide a sense of physical, mental, and emotional well being for your pet. I am here to help fill in the gaps in your busy schedules and be there. So whether your pal needs a hike, walk around the neighborhood, a feeding, medication dose (dogs and cats) or just a visit, I have your back. We all need movement, attention and praise, pets included. I use positive reinforcement as training method, for all pets at every stage. So whether you have a puppy with some aggression issues, a husky that needs a run, a diabetic cat, fish to be fed and admired, or an stinky old man dog that just needs to be sung to and told he's a good boy I am here to serve. I have two cats personally, they run the household and tell me what to do. They eat twice a day, get their boxes cleaned daily, and petted and played when they decide. Monday- Thursday I am available for pet visits from 10:30-2:30 and again from 5-9 pm Fridays - I am available from 10:30-1:00 for visits Weekends-vary During daycare hours I will always be in the home with your pet unless we are going on an outing together. Play, snacks, walks, songs, and naps will be provided daily. I do have two cats, who will probably stay out of the way, but cat friendly creatures are always preferred.
“The Huijun family provided excellent care for Snow. They kept me updated daily with photos and videos, maintained prompt and clear communication, and were very accommodating with drop-off and pickup times. Their flexibility made our travel experience much smoother. Definitely will choose them again. Highly recommend!”
“I cannot begin to express my gratitude for Destiny. She is very communicative and was a pleasure to deal with. She sent a ton of pics and my puppy had a blast there. When I picked him up he was happy and smelled great. Will be using her in the future, highly highly recommend.”
“Kim watched Sir Sparklepuff for 17 days, following our relocation. We had been worried about leaving him at such a transitional time, but she made the extra effort of meeting him prior to his stay with her, first in our home, then in her own. His stay seems to have gone quite well -- he was returned to us happy and well-cared for. Kim also sent us daily photos which were absolutely remarkable -- professional quality! She clearly spent time connecting with him, and playing with him. We are sure to use her services again, and cannot recommend her highly enough!”
“Absolutely love Marisol! She’s sweet, caring, nurturing, and holds a safe space for our puppy. Zero complaints about her service and will continue to book her as much as we can.”
“Georgianne was a great sitter and our puppy had a fantastic time with her. She has a big yard and a friendly dog perfect for playing. We would definitely hire her to watch our dog again!”
“Did an amazing joke with taking care of my boy. I had to run out of town last minute so I am grateful for the quick response and willingness. I got some pictures and good communication”
“Susan took great care of our little dog! She was very loving and sent pictures regularly. She is also very responsive to texts and calls. I would definitely book her services again.”

About: Ive been around dogs my whole life. I worked at dog daycares, was a kennel tech at Petland and have years of animal sitting experience including dogs, cats, horses, goats, chickens etc. I had a husky mix most recently for 8 years before she passed. ***dog must be okay with children*** I currently work evenings and am available most mornings/ days/ and late evening.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Fleming
“Ellen and John were wonderful throughout the booking, hand off and pickup process. Dale seems to have had a fabulous time with them! He was immediately comfortable and walked right off without looking back at me. I got pictures of during the day of him enjoying time outside. I will definitely be booking with them again!”
“My dog came home happy and exhausted from a long day of playing! Dixie sent me a couple of updates throughout the day and I had no worries at all. Dixie was also very flexible with my crazy work schedule, and at the end of the long day she didn't want my dog to leave because they had such a good time. 10/10 and would definitely use again.”
“Luna was right at home with Eden and Cruizey! Even with her fear of wind on a windy day, Luna remained content, restful and playful. Eden has a way with her dogs! Thank you for everything!”
“Charlotte was amazing with my fluffy girl, Peach!! She was super communicative and took great pictures! Peach got along amazing with her pups and was an all-around great experience. Will definitely be booking with Charlotte again when I return to Geneva.”
“Samantha is wonderful. Booking was done last-minute, on a holiday, no less. Samantha was kind, responsible, on-time, and would have sent intormation about my dog every 20 minutes if I wanted it. Highly recommend.”
“Our usual sitter Chelsea was unavailable and recommended Marisol. Isla loved her time with Marisol and Benito! This is the first real off leash (fenced in yard) play she's had with a dog closer to her size and she loved it. They really made her feel welcome and taken care of and all that play left her tuckered out. We even got ideas for a couple new toys for her.”
“Our dogs were well cared for and tired out when we picked them up! Extra attention was given to special dietary instructions for one of them and pick up and drop off was efficient. We were glad to use them again and know they were in good hands!”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover and experienced pet caregiver who regularly boards and dog-sits for our neighbors and friends right here in my home. Caring for dogs isn’t just something I do occasionally, it’s something I’m known for in our community. We have a friendly golden retriever, two well-adjusted cats, and kids who have grown up around animals and understand how to be gentle and respectful. Our home is often the place everyone gathers because it’s warm, welcoming, and full of life, and visiting pups quickly become part of that energy. We also have a beautiful fenced-in backyard that’s perfect for safe playtime, exercise, and fresh air. Whether your dog loves to run, sunbathe, or just stay close to people, there’s space here for all of it. I work from home, so pets enjoy consistent supervision and attention. Our days follow a steady school routine with playtime, backyard breaks, and calm evenings. Our home is warm, inviting, and full of love, with a large fenced yard for safe outdoor play and gentle, friendly pets who happily welcome new furry friends.
“Debbie was very good with Marshall, the introductions to the other dogs was done well! She was professional and a good communicator! Marshall had a great time! We will be using her again.”
“Our dog was nervous at first with being in a new situation. But he immediately took to Destiny. She has a wonderful way with dogs, very gentle and caring. She later let us know that he had settled in nicely. It seems he had a great day - came home tired in a good way. We hope to call on Destiny again.”

About: I've had dogs my entire life from puppies to rescues! I've also been a grooming salon manager in Ithaca for 7 years. I've cared for many different breeds, ages, temperaments, and quirks all dogs have and I love them all the same. I'm now a stay at home mom missing my daily dog visits! I have two dogs of my own Luke and Yoda. Luke is a 6 year old lab grey hound mix around 35 lbs. He is very loving and playful. Yoda is a 5 year old miniature fox terrier mix who has unlimited energy and is the sweetest snuggler. I'm willing to bathe and groom but it just depends on your dogs hair and size because I do not have a grooming area set up yet in my home, but I'm willing to talk about it! I am home all day with my baby and two dogs of my own so I can give the same care to some extra dogs! I treat every dog as if they are my own. I have lots of extra blankets to make sure they have there own space (i do recommend to bring some of there stuff like blankets, beds, and toys to make them more comfortable) and have extra room to separate them if they need to be alone. I will always make sure they are comfortable, happy, loved, and safe!
“Heather was fantastic! We came to town in our RV for weekend class reunion. Heather cheerfully came to the TV park to sit with our 12 pound Yorkipoo, Bear. She sent photos and loved on him. Heather was a great communicator too. We highly recommend Heather to watch your furry friends! Sarah and John”

“Taylor has been walking my dog on a weekly schedule. She has been reliable, honest, communicative, and my dog seems to really like her! I love that she is also a licensed veterinary technician, it provides me with great peace of mind knowing that she is a trained professional.”
About: I have 5 years of pet care experience and truly enjoy spending time with dogs. I have cared for dogs for family, friends, and neighbors, including walking, feeding, playing, giving fresh water, cleaning up after them, and keeping them comfortable while their owners are away. I am patient, gentle, and responsible, and I always try to follow each pet parent’s instructions carefully. I understand that every dog has its own personality, routine, and comfort level, so I take time to make pets feel safe and cared for. Pet care fits well into my daily routine because I am usually home and able to give pets regular attention throughout the day. I can help with feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and check-ins. I try to keep each pet’s routine as close as possible to what they are used to at home. I have a fenced-in house with 4 bedrooms, so I can safely keep pets separated when needed. This is helpful for pets who need quiet space, slow introductions, or extra comfort. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully for feeding, walks, medications, and routines. I keep the home clean, safe, and calm, and I make sure pets are supervised and comfortable during their stay.
About: The last few years I've provided an array of services for dog sitting, walking, weekly stays and occasionally drop in visits. From Danes to Chihuahua's I'm certain I can give your pup the love, patience, care and energy (high or low depending on the pup) that they need to live happy, comfortable and confident lives. I've taken care of an array of animals since I was a kid from hamsters to dogs to little frogs! I currently have a 2.5 year old Australian Cattle Dog mix who I've worked with through several training classes. I'm happy to help and follow through with current trainings you are working with your pup on while I interact with them. I'm able to remove ticks and have a first aid kit always on had and a base medicinal understanding and can administer medication if needed. I'm also doggy and human first aid certified (American Red Cross). If your pup is spayed/neutered, vaccinated and well socialized (or needs a little nudge and isnt aggressive or reactive) I'd be happy to take them to a dog park with or without my pup Luna. Does your dog have a special diet? Bon appetit, I'll be sure to get them their right food at the right time! Senior dogs need love too, I'll be patient and we can take a nice and easy stroll or take a little car ride! Speaking of, I have room in my subaru for any transportation your pup may ever need (including a doggy seatbelt). Overall, I'm flexible and want to help you and your pup have a happy life! I am currently employed but my schedule is very inconsistent at this time so reach out for availability checks and I can work with you! I'm very flexible in my scheduling. Right now I do not have the capacity for boarding or keeping any dogs besides my own at my current residence. Here we have a large yard with room for our pups to run and their recall work has been going well. Dogs can be on the furniture minus the kitchen table! We also have a large basement with room to run there too. In your home, I follow your rules and will respect your privacy. Please inform me of any specific requirements in your home or anything I should be aware of. I will act professionally and respectfully, just like I would ask someone if they were entering my home. I am flexible so just let me know of anything and I can adapt!
About: No dog deserves the kennel! Why settle for the pound when they can spend a night in a home with an owner-on-loan; either in your house on in a house that has raised two other pets from puppyhood to old age? Admittedly, there are stairs and hardwood floors in my house, but I have bought several carpets for my old dog to move around on and can lay them down for your dog’s convenience. We also have a big backyard that your dog will love to run around in (and no predators, unless you count woodchucks and geese) and a long leash that can go all the way to the end of the property line. I love dogs and after a day with me, your furry friend will mistake me for his mother. I’m most busy Wednesdays-Thursdays, so I marked them out on the calendar, but if petsitting is required for several days, that is easy to accommodate! I also don’t mind waking up every few hours to take a dog out—I have not quite reached the age where sleep is important. I won’t allow your dog to roam around outside unleashed (sorry, but I don’t want to lose them!), but when they’re outside, I’ll make sure they have the freedom to run around to their heart’s content. Additionally, I’m willing to walk them in any weather they’ll put up with and even let them sleep on the couch/spare bed, if they’re not too dirty.
About: Hello, and thank you for visiting my profile! I have over 10+ years of experience in working with both cats and dogs. I had my golden retriever Jake, for 15 years, and I currently have a cat named Lulu who is 9 years old. I have previous experience in working with both cats and dogs who have required care. This included checking in on them as well as feeding, walking and playing with them. I really love animals and love that every pet has their own unique personality. I know that animals always bring a smile to my face, and it is my goal that I can return the favor and make them happy as well. I would love to have the opportunity to care for your fur baby!
About: I started pet sitting as soon as I was old enough to stay home alone for friends, family, and neighbors. Throughout the years, I acquired lots of different clients through word of mouth. I have experience watching a variety of types of pets and at home I have three loving cats. I also have experience giving pets medication. Most importantly, I have a passion for all animals and I can assure your pet would be in the best possible care with me. I work in the tasting room at a Cidery in Ithaca. During the winter, I only work a few days a week so my availability is more freed up. At the moment, I would need to watch your pet at your house. My current apartment has a strict pet policy and I am only allowed my cats. I am open to sleeping over, just staying for the day, or popping in at scheduled times. When I am staying at a client’s home, I have the utmost respect and make sure to keep the line of communication open.
“Debbie was a kind and considerate companion to our fearful little dog. Our dog is scared of new people and over the course of just few visits, our dog warmed up to Debbie. Debbie respected Bear’s boundaries and earn her trust in no time. We can’t thank you enough, Debbie!!!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind for years. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to feed, play, clean, and take care of their pets while away from home. With my experience and passion for animals, I would take care of your animals as I would my own. I currently work full-time, but have plenty of available time in the mornings and after work. My weekdays have plenty of time available for check-ins and walks. The safety of your pet is my number one priority. For dogs, I tend to avoid other dogs on walks unless you point out to me any dogs you know that it's ok for your dog to greet and interact with. I would rather your dog be safe than hurt. For cats, I make sure they are always kept inside (unless instructed otherwise with a catio or other) and are away from harms way.
About: I have been taking care of dogs since 2008 when my neighbors moved in and allowed me to meet their new puppy. As he grew up I was included in a lot of his daily routine from feeding breakfast and dinner, to taking walks after school/work, and cleaning up the yard as he used the restroom, helping him recoup after getting all his puppy shots, adult shots, and neutered. They also included me in his training of basic obedience and allowed me to work with him and cuddle with anytime they were free and I shot them a text to see if I could come over. They then got a second dog and I was older at that time and so my involvement far more this time as I was older and already had an understanding of what was expected. I helped with potty training both dogs, their general obedience, walking them and cleaning the yard as they used the potty. I also was their caretaker when my neighbors went on vacation or had to work later at the office. Everyday after school like clockwork I’d head over let the boys out, make them an enrichment snack if they’d finished the one the got before the owners left, work on some obedience and walk them if necessary and play with them and cuddle them until mom and dad came home. I took care of these dogs from 2008-2017 when they moved away! Then my new neighbors also decided to add some canine companions when they had settled in. I was asked by them if I’d work on basic obedience with their female dog. Which could’ve not been more perfect timing as I was working towards getting my certification to be a dog trainer! So they allowed me to use her to get my certification and we worked together and learned a lot of basic obedience cues, as well as relaxation protocols for dogs that may be anxious or a little scared in new environments. She helped teach me to read dog body language and use that knowledge communicate effectively with dogs when asking them for any type of cue. So now I am a certified positive method trainer, I have experience in potty training as well. I have experience in giving oral medications and feeding complex diets for dogs who have allergies. Hello pet parents! I currently work part time as a result I have quite a bit of open time to take care of and spend with your furry family members! Please message me with any questions regarding availability as even if I have the day marked off as “unavailable” I have will have some limited availability prior to and post work days to take care of your furry family members! Whether it’s for a walk once a day/week, walks for multiple times a week/day or a drop in for a little bit of cuddles and for play time I would be so honored to spend time and play with your pet and give them enrichment and cuddles they deserve! In my home my cats are absolutely spoiled. Multiple cats trees. Big Victorian screened in windows. At least 20 or more cats toys. Most of the toys are big on engaging the mind and recreating instincts they would use in the wild as well as creating mental stimulation. The toys are also tailored to each cat but we all know cats do as they please so I’ve learned to buy multiples of the toys that all the cats seem to love! Following the rules of litter pans and filing them with proper litter and cleaning them in a timely manner! I also provide top quality food with correct feeding proportions and I do give them treats in a controlled way as well!

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 11 years old. It started with my family dog, along with family members dogs. I would walk them and feed them. I then got my own dogs that I do all care for. I started fostering with a local rescue in 2022. I’ve cared for dogs with medical issues. Anywhere from Seizure disorders, parasites and other various medical issues. I treat every dog that I care for as if they’re my own. I currently work full time, M-F 730a-330p. I am able to check in, walk, feed, etc, dogs before work, during my lunch and after work. I have 2 dogs of my own. We live in a 3 bedroom house. Unfortunately, I don’t have a fenced in yard. I do take my dogs on multiple walks everyday along with utilizing a tie out (if they want to stay out longer), and would do the same with yours, so they get some outside time.

About: I have my own cat Anya and she is one of the most important things to me. I’ve always had a special connection with animals. Since I was young, I could always connect with other people’s pets, many times they would say wow he/she never let’s anyone do that etc. I often feel that I connect better with animals than with people.” I work at a kennel in auburn ny from 8am to 10am in the morning and evening from 4-5:30 but before and after that I try to fill in my time as much as possible seeing and taking care of as many animals as possible I have my own cat Anya but as far as taking care of your animals it would have to be at your place of residence. I offer walking, sitting, overnights, feeding etc. I don’t board any more pets at my residence.
About: What distinguishes me from other dog sitters is my lifelong companionship with dogs, instilling in me an innate understanding of their needs and behaviors. Beyond my extensive experience as a dog owner, I possess specialized skills that cater to a wide range of canine requirements.

Pet care seamlessly integrates into my daily and weekly routine, even with a full-time job. Despite my professional commitments, I am devoted to providing exceptional care to dogs. During weekdays, I prioritize early morning walks and playtime before work, ensuring they start the day with positive energy. I've strategically structured my evenings around quality time with the dogs, focusing on exercise and interaction. On weekends, I offer extended care and undivided attention, making it the perfect opportunity for boarding and a truly immersive experience. My commitment to their well-being and my ability to provide attentive care during the weekends guarantees that your dogs will receive the utmost attention. When caring for pets, whether in my home or at the client's residence, I prioritize their comfort, safety, and happiness. If providing care in my own home, I ensure a cozy and pet-friendly environment. I'm fortunate to have access to a nearby dog park within my apartment complex, where dogs can socialize, play fetch, and enjoy outdoor activities. Additionally, I'm conveniently located near various walking and hiking trails, which offer stimulating adventures for energetic dogs to explore nature. For those preferring a more relaxed setting, there's a spacious greenspace near my apartment, ideal for leisurely strolls and lounging in the sun. Regardless of the service, whether it's boarding, walking, or drop-in visits, my goal is to create a tailored experience that aligns with each pet's individual needs and preferences, making their time with me both enjoyable and fulfilling.

Being home for the summer gives me the opportunity to give dogs the full attention and 1:1 time they need. I have such a passion for taking care of dogs that I will always put them first.

“It appears Nicholas enjoyed his time with Mary too much! He has been moping around the house getting used to a home without more people and pets. It was great receiving daily pictures and the care couldn’t have been more loving. I will definitely try to book with Mary whenever I travel in the future.”
“We boarded our new addition Chubbs with Dan and Teresa for 5 nights while we were out of state on vacation. I received at least one daily update with photos every day Chubbs was there. It was definitely some peace of mind knowing he was taken care of so well. I had brought Chubbs to meet Dan and Teresa the week before for introductions as and a quick tour of the boarding house. Right away Chubbs seemed at home and didn’t look like he would have any problem returning. I would recommend this kennel 100% and will definitely be sending Chubbs back to board again when needed.”
“We are so grateful to have found Ellen. She was so accommodating when we booked somewhat last minute and we got updates each morning which set our minds at ease. Her team is awesome and our dog Henry was so comfortable there I swear he didn't want to leave. He seemed super happy upon pick up!”
“Dixie was lovely! Our dog Hudson had a great time following her around and going on walks on her spacious property. Dixie was very attentive -she even slept on the couch by Hudson’s crate to make sure he was ok.”
“Samantha was fantastic. She took great care of my older German Shepherd, Raven, which included special food and morning and evening medications. She checked in multiple times with pics which made me feel good and confident that Raven was in good hands. I'm already planning my trip next year and hope Raven can hang out at Samantha's again! Thank you!”
“Jaclyn took such good care of my dog Lily while I attended Biscoland music festival. She sent me frequent photos and updates about how Lily was doing. She understood my dog has some food aggression and she accommodated her by feeding her separately and supervising her during meals. She also helped care for an eye injury that Lily had sustained a few days prior. I highly recommend Jaclyn’s dog sitting services to anyone looking for peace of mind. Thank you for all your help and clear communication, Jaclyn! I will definitely call you next time I am in the area and need dog sitting!”
“Andrea took great care of my lil pup on her first overnights without me. She was communicative, has a fenced in yard, a great dog walking neighborhood and I would love to have Rox stay with her for future trips.”
About: Peppy Pet Care was launched at the end of 2018 in Ithaca, NY by myself and my animal-loving, entrepreneurial eleven year old daughter. Together we worked to provide outstanding pet sitting services to Ithaca and Lansing pet owners. Beginning in 2021, I started officially working on my own, as my daughter is busy pursuing other interests and activities. I treat pets in my care as I would my own. I am considerate, patient, reliable and caring and trustworthy. I treat each visit like an adventure and make it the warmest and most wonderful experience for each animal. I look forward to meeting you and your cat/dog and discussing your care needs. Thank you in advance for considering my services!!! I'm available both weekdays and weekends. Mornings, afternoons, evenings, as well as late night. I am typically in town during holidays and update my online calendar frequently. I provide care in client homes only at this time. I'm always vigilant when entering and exiting client homes, so as not to allow pets to slip out.
“Kikka loved her weekend with Maxine. She was well taken care of and Maxine was very quick to respond to questions and sent plenty of pictures and updates! Highly recommend!”
About: Hi Neighbors, I am a Natural World Enthusiast looking to provide support to pets and their owners in the community. My heart is geared towards animals. I have decades worth of experience caring for dogs, cats and other small pets, from my own to friends and clients in the professional setting. My goal is to provide a sense of physical, mental, and emotional well being for your pet. I am here to help fill in the gaps in your busy schedules and be there. So whether your pal needs a hike, walk around the neighborhood, a feeding, medication dose (dogs and cats) or just a visit, I have your back. We all need movement, attention and praise, pets included. I use positive reinforcement as training method, for all pets at every stage. So whether you have a puppy with some aggression issues, a husky that needs a run, a diabetic cat, fish to be fed and admired, or an stinky old man dog that just needs to be sung to and told he's a good boy I am here to serve. I have two cats personally, they run the household and tell me what to do. They eat twice a day, get their boxes cleaned daily, and petted and played when they decide. Monday- Thursday I am available for pet visits from 10:30-2:30 and again from 5-9 pm Fridays - I am available from 10:30-1:00 for visits Weekends-vary During daycare hours I will always be in the home with your pet unless we are going on an outing together. Play, snacks, walks, songs, and naps will be provided daily. I do have two cats, who will probably stay out of the way, but cat friendly creatures are always preferred.
“The Huijun family provided excellent care for Snow. They kept me updated daily with photos and videos, maintained prompt and clear communication, and were very accommodating with drop-off and pickup times. Their flexibility made our travel experience much smoother. Definitely will choose them again. Highly recommend!”
“I cannot begin to express my gratitude for Destiny. She is very communicative and was a pleasure to deal with. She sent a ton of pics and my puppy had a blast there. When I picked him up he was happy and smelled great. Will be using her in the future, highly highly recommend.”
“Yakelin has been a super lovely and caring dog sitter for my fur baby, Tonton. She and her family all shared a lot of love and care for my dog. We appreciate their attention to my dog’s medical conditions, and frequent updates with videos and pictures. The love and warmth we received from her and family is highly appreciated!”
“Our bulldog Leia had an amazing time! She played a ton in the huge, fenced-in yard and seemed to be very well cared for and received a lot of personal attention. We received a lot of nice updates with photos and videos. She was very tired when she got home which is great! We hope to have Leia stay with Robert and Eileen again when we travel in the future.”
“Maya was wonderful! Sent me videos and photo updates multiple times a day and took such good care of Saco. And was flexible when I asked for one more night of coverage at the last minute! Will definitely be working with her again if she’ll have me :)”
“Chantal was amazing with my pets! She kept me updated the entire time and made me feel at ease while they were in her care. They came back happy and well taken care of. I would absolutely book with her again!”
About: Like many others, I am a dog lover and was raised taking care of family dogs. Unlike others, that passion led to training and classes, competing in dog sports, and now, competing in dog shows. I have experience with many breeds of all sizes, senior pet care, reactive dog care and training. I would love to help you with your pet care needs! I work from home, so my schedule is very flexible and I can accommodate most dogs’ needs. I currently have open availability for boarding, daycare, walks, and drop in visits. Dogs are treated like one of my own! I take your dog out for leashed potty breaks several times a day, according to their needs. While I am working, your dog can settle on the couch or one of the many dog beds, or relax and play with my dogs (a Golden Retriever and a Foxhound). If your dog likes the crate, I have an extra for them. When I run errands, your dog will be crated or gated in a separate room from my dogs for safety. I live on 4 acres next and next to a cemetery, so I can take your dog for relaxing walks in a peaceful environment.
“Did an amazing joke with taking care of my boy. I had to run out of town last minute so I am grateful for the quick response and willingness. I got some pictures and good communication”
“Susan took great care of our little dog! She was very loving and sent pictures regularly. She is also very responsive to texts and calls. I would definitely book her services again.”
