Personalized care for your dog or cat - Newfield
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Newfield
“Aaon watched my dog while I was out of town for the day. He was very flexible in his schedule, and even agreed to meet the day before to build puppy rapport. In my interactions with Aaron, it's apparent that he loves animals, and works hard to attend to their needs, foster relationships, and provide training and feedback in a positive fashion. I was very impressed with his maturity given his young age. Highly recommended.”
“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.”
“Alex is the BEST! We had a sitter back out last minute and luckily we found Alex. First off, the space Alex has made is a great for any furry companion to run, play, or just sniff around. Our 11 yr old dog is a big anxious girl who gets vertigo very easily. Alex made her feel right at home, put her at ease, and was able to catch her signs of a dizzy episode and medicated her exactly how we would have at home. Alex is a great host and will gladly send lots of pictures and updates that put any worries one might have aside. After we brought our old gal home she slept the day away from all the exploring and fun she had at Alex’s.”
“We are so grateful to Maxine! She took care of our pup on short notice when we had an emergency. Archie had a great time and we were relieved he was taken care of while we were away.”
“Laura is phenomenal with my small sensitive pup, I believe that she genuinely loves looking after and caring for him. She is considerate, trustworthy, good at communicating, and very consistent with providing updates and photos!”
“Our two pups were well taken care of and had a great time. Absolutely loved the fenced in yard and daily walks. Thank you so much for making their first experience seamless. Definitely will be booking again.”
“Thank you, thank you, thank you! Hiedi went above and beyond. From our meet and greet, communication prior to booking to see if our pups would be a good fit, (both are senior dogs-one with history of trauma needing support with transitions and change and the other is paralyzed from the waist down), drop off and pick up, to most importantly the daily updates and photos throughout our pups care Hiedi exceeded expectations. To see the peaceful calm in our pups eyes in the photos said it all. We knew they were well taken care off and felt safe. Highly recommend!”
“This place is doggy heaven! Our dog was walked often, had plenty of quality playtime with other dogs, and received lots of love and attention from Kelly and family. It is a relief to go away and know that our dog is not just cared for, but content as well. We will definitely use Kelly again!”
“Susan is incredible and I'm so glad to have found someone my very anxious dog can feel comfortable with when I'm gone. Susan kept me updated (with pictures when Jade would cooperate) regularly and was kind and patient, even when Jade decided to turn up the dramatics. Would absolutely recommend for anyone with an anxious dog who needs a little extra love and care!”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is that since I was eight years old I have been taking care of cats, dogs, reptiles, and rodents. I have 25 rescue cats back home in California in which I work with rescues for free vaccines and neutering and spaying. Lots of the cats I take care of have special needs or require administering medication. I also have experience with dogs with special needs such as being spoonfed. I work part-time over the winter and will spend most days indoors studying for LSAT. I go for walks on breaks and usually give attention to my pets and others between breaks or as needed! My house has spare rooms where I can house pets if they are not comfortable with my cats! My cats can remain on third floor if needed with free roam acccess around house for cats and for dogs it varies on a case by case basis.
“Kathy and Tim are trustworthy, lovely people that will care deeply for your pet. They are a pleasure to speak with, knowing your dog will be in great hands. I would without a doubt book with them 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”
“Kyle was great for our young blue heeler Shadow! Our dog needs time to warm up to new people, and Kyle was very comfortable with that process. Upon first meeting, Shadow growled at him and snapped at the air a bit but Kyle was not bothered and knew to ignore Shadow at first. After some time, Shadow was asking him for belly rubs. Before leaving Shadow with Kyle we arranged two visits between him and the dog to make sure they were friends. Kyle was very accommodating and happy to take that extra time out of his day. I really appreciated his willingness to do that. During their time together, Kyle sent photos and updates every day. Right away from the photos we could see that our pup was relaxed and settling into spending time with his new human friend in the house and on walks. Shadow even got to sleep in bed and sit on couches (like he does at home...) Knowing everything was OK for both of them really helped us enjoy our trip. Big thanks to Kyle!”
“Adalia is fantastic. She made me feel very comfortable leaving Luxe with her for the week. She kept me updated and Luxe came home her same happy self. Will def use her again.”

“Victoria is an incredible cat sitter. Our cats require a lot of time and attention, and she handled all of their idiosyncrasies with incredible dexterity. We would highly recommend. She was able to give one of our cats both immunotherapy injections and eyedrops. She communicated well and consistently, and we always felt that our cats were in the best of hands. The best, five stars, two thumbs up, certified fresh.”
“Nicole was fantastic! Our two cats took to her right away, and we loved receiving her daily pictures and updates while we were out of town. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of a sitter!”
“Joey was an amazing sitter!! They gave very detailed accounts of their visits, and made sure to keep me updated on anything of note. I really appreciated the thoroughness of their care and their commitment to building a relationship with my cat! Furthermore, they were extremely accommodating when I had to make last minute changes to my booking, which was a headache saved!”
“Rachel was great with my cat. She was attentive to how my cat likes to play and be interacted with, which I really appreciate. She was responsive to my messages and sent good pictures. Thanks, Rachel!”
About: Hi! I'm Karla. I've been a cat owner since age 11, and a cat lover for even longer. I've spent time caring for cats of all personalities: skittish, shy, sassy, escape artists, and more. I'm very familiar with feline body language and know when it's time for big pets and when it's time to back off. My ultimate goal is that your cat is safe, healthy, and comfortable! My secondary goal is to get you the cutest photos possible while you're away and missing your kitties. I'm a Cornell professor with the summer off, so you can trust that I'll be communicative, reliable, and thoughtful. I'm currently available for bookings weekdays and weekends, at any time of day. Please reach out if you'd like to book me!
“Yazmeen follow all the directions I left and that dogs really like her. It was our first time having someone come to our house to check on the dogs and feed them instead of boarding. It went so smoothly we will definitely request her again. Thank you Yazmeen!”
“Bill and Emma were terrific caregivers over the course of 11 days. They provided very consistent care and attention for and to my older cat, along with many photos and daily notes 2x/day for his human. I would have them care for Benny again without hesitation.”
“Max is wonderful. She looked after our three cats over the holiday break, and I came back to 3 happy, healthy cats, as well as an immaculately clean house. I had to change plans a couple of times, and Max was totally accommodating of my chaos! Communication was excellent, and Max is just generally a great person.”
About: I’ve always loved taking care of animals. Family, friends and neighbors have relied on me in the past to take care of their furry friends. I am currently working part time as a Licensed Massage Therapist at my own private practice. My schedule is flexible so I will have plenty of time and energy to give your pets warm, comforting and trustworthy care. I care for every dog as if they were my own — with patience, calm energy, and respect for their unique needs. I make sure each pet feels safe, understood, and loved, whether we’re out for a walk or relaxing at home. My goal is always to create a peaceful, trustworthy environment where dogs can truly be themselves.
“The best cat sitter we have ever had! Michelle took care of Wiki and our fish very well. Wiki is a very shy cat but she came up to Michelle the second day of knowing her. We highly recommend Michelle!”
“Caroline did a great job taking care of our pets and home for an extended week. We really appreciated all the photos and updates during our trip. The house was super clean when we came back and all our pets and plants were happy. I would highly suggest Caroline for peace of mind while you are away”
About: I have taken care of my own dogs since I can remember. In high school, I walked some dogs in my neighborhood and checked in on them throughout the evening! I have taken care of my own older dogs and have recently been around a lot of puppies, so I know how to take care of both. I am currently in college and have a lot of time to take care of your pet! I would love to get some extra steps in by taking your pet on a walk. I am also new to the area and would love to get to know the community more! I always take my dog on long walks and the same will be true of any walks I take your pets on! I enjoy time playing with all animals and taking care of them!
About: I’ve spent a lot of time in my life caring for a variety of pets and dogs. I’m very active and enjoy taking pups on long walks, runs, or hikes to burn off energy! I have the full summer available to walk some dogs with a very open schedule. I’m an early riser and am willing to work whenever needed! I am willing to walk, run, hike, and/or play with your dog depending on their specific personality and need. My number one priority is that the pup is safe and having fun!
“Rossy was amazing! She followed my cats' routine perfectly (wet food, dry food, water, cleaning litter boxes), and spent time giving them all some love. She kept in touch with me regularly, always sending updates and photos. She was also really helpful, watering my houseplants and bringing in the mail. Above and beyond! And finally, she was very flexible and accommodating, dealing with some date changes on my part and being available when a cancelled flight kept me away longer than expected. I would absolutely recommend her and hope she will be available to help me with my animal care in the future. If there were more than five stars, I would give her more! Thank you!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Newfield
“Hiedi was over the top great! She went above and beyond to give my dog Archie a great first daycare experience. She went to lengths to make sure he was comfortable with her dog, and vice versa. He came home totally happy, relaxed and tired. He can't wait to see Hiedi and Kenzi again!!”
“My dog had a fabulous time at daycare with Mikia, her daughter and her dog Zara. I received some great photos (including some funny ones of the dogs wrestling) and felt comfortable knowing the dog was having a good time, socializing and burning off her adolescent energy while I was at work. Highly recommend!”
About: I've cared for dogs of different sizes over the years and I love to cuddle, walk, and pamper pups. We have a fenced in back yard and I like to take long walks with dogs if they're up for it. We have a 4 year old boxer/hound mix who is sweet with people but not great with other dogs. We keep him away from guest dogs, there's lots of room in the house for each dog to have their own space and still get lots of love from me and the family. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. I take breaks through the day to care for puppies, whether that's a quick potty break, fun walk, or play time with balls and toys. When boarding, I make sure pups get any meds they need, plenty of time outside, and snuggles on the couch (if they're the snuggling type). I know some dogs need longer or shorter walks, and I make adjustments based on what they need.
“Kyle took excellent care of my elderly Maltese, Sammy. It was a relief that he was able to take care of Sammy on short notice and give my skittish dog a calm place to stay. He always responded quickly to messages and sent me a picture of Sammy each day. I would happily let him watch Sammy again if we come back to Ithaca.”
“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.”
“She took such good care of my dog, who also seemed to have a lot of fun with the other dogs. There was a minor scrape on her paw, but she used first aid and I felt that she handled it as good as I would have. I was wondering why I didn't get a call about it, but my cell sometimes drops calls.”

“Susan kept in touch with me on my dog's first day care try. My dog did not get along with the other dog, so she kept them separated until I could get there to pick my dog up. Susan was very patient with him and kept him company. The problem was my dog and I will contact her again for a solo stay.”
About: I'm a dog mom of two. I love dogs and go out of my way to care for them, spoil them, and make them feel loved. I am capable of watching other pets outside of the norm. I have experience with fish, reptiles, guinea pigs, bunnies, etc. Just send me a message and we can discuss! I work full time on a hybrid schedule. When I'm not at work I enjoy spending time with dogs. I have open availability to allow dogs in my home or to drop in to your home. I'm excited to meet some new furry friends! The pet that comes into my home has free rein. I ensure to treat them as my own, giving them snuggles, treats, and daily walks. If you prefer drop ins, I am also available to do so. Just let me know your dogs schedule and what works for you!
“Tim and Kathy always take awesome care of my "kids" . They love hanging out with Bailey and his parents. We will miss them all when we make our move to West Virginia. Thank you so much!”
“If there was >5 stars, this would be a time to use it! From the very beginning Janet was an absolute sweetheart, meeting me on the porch to grab my little guy, asking pertinent questions to be sure she was doing the best for him and even putting up low wires in her house to keep him from chewing them (puppy) Dash took to her immediately, tail wagging and kisses like she was an old friend of his, since dogs are a good judge of character, I just knew this was going to be a great day for him. From picture updates, to her summarizing their daily activities for me, I was totally at ease and had a happy heart with my decision to reach out to Janet to keep Dash for the day. She is simply the best!”
“Alex was amazing! Initially, I was a bit nervous about dropping off my 8 month old pup, Blue, just because I wasn't entirely sure how he would do in a new environment without me and other dogs present. Blue settled in super fast and had the best day! Alex was reassuring and sent updates throughout the day with pictures and videos that were so appreciated. Blue was in awesome hands and I'm so grateful he had fun with new friends, lots of space to run around, and an awesome caregiver in Alex and his family. Blue can't wait to return and I feel so grateful to have a trusted and safe home for my pup when we need to be apart. Thank you, Alex!”
About: I've always had dogs & cats growing up. Recently, my husband & I rescued a puppy from North Carolina, named Mack. He is the light of our life. In July of 2025, we had to put our 14 year old dog, Roxie, down.. This was very depressing as she was the best girl. I love to be around dogs, and want to ensure they get the best care, whether that be walking or playing ball/fetch, or just snuggles. I hope you reach out for any needs! I currently work full time about 20 minutes from my home, which allows me a greater radius to care for your loved one. I work M-F 8am-4pm (roughly), so I am available for any after work or weekend assistance. I have a fully fenced in yard for my dog to play in. We play ball multiple times throughout the day. He is up to date on his vaccines, and we ensure that he receives any care he might need. I am trained to notice any significant behaviors or concerns, and will address this ASAP.
“Jess & Matt are conveniently located, really love dogs, and did a great job caring for my little guy. I will continue using them on a regular basis to doggy sit. Highly recommend!”
About: I am just starting to my fourth career, playing with your companion. I recently retired from teaching sustainable development at UAlbany. I now spend my days outside with hairy friend Herman. I picked up my first stray, Bandit, at 9. I have had a at least one dog since then, I am now 63. All from shelters or strays. I also did doggie foster care too. Known to be gentle and friend of the furry ones. I start each day with a morning meander across the 25 acres on a dead end road. Your companion will be well exercised, loved and cared for as long as they get along with my 14 year old hairy friend Herman, who lets cats eat from his dishes. He runs the place when it comes to house rules. He does not have viscous bone in his body. After three careers and global travel I am recently retired. My days are spent gardening, walking, sitting on the porch, listening to music, etc. I am rarely gone more than a few hours as Herman, my four legged friend, needs special care at 14 years old. I am typically up before dawn, no dog or alarm necessary. My day typically begins with me waking predawn and greeting the new day with my hound Herman on the 25 acres we cohabitate. Most is abandoned agriculture returning to forest for 35 plus years that is bisected by a small babbling brook. Breakfast is then served before returning outside. In climate weather I am outside more than 70% of my day outside. At 14 he chooses to stay in sometimes. Your companion will be free to make their own choice too. My life ambition is to nurture life. I have cared for pets since I was born as my family had cats. There is a fenced area that includes four shaded area. There will be plenty of water, including a baby pool for play as well as sprinklers. This area is shares two fences lines with my garden, has direct access to a walk out basement, and is fully visible from my porch. The dogs will have near 24/7 personal attention and care. I live sustainably. There are no chemicals in my lawn or garden. I have an enclosed porch that in the summer is open air, but no steps to escape. Only with your permission would I walk a guest off leash. Before walking them off leash I will need feel 100% confident they respond to command when other distractions are present. Again with your permission I would take your friend to a fenced in dog park visit as a trial run. Herman, my housemate, is a happy healthy 14 year old he is my best reference. He also has final word on all guest of all species. About an 1/2 acre is fenced with direct access from the house through the basement door. It includes shaded doggie lounges, a baby pool in the summer, toys galore, and lots of attention as the space is adjacent to my garden and the covered porch. It has the capacity to be divided if unruly dog needs to be isolated or there are little ones that just need time away from the bigger ones. Indoors, dogs are free to roam in the basement and first floor. If they are cage trained I can accommodate that. The two beds are off limits. To prevent misunderstanding with bed loving dogs I will keep my guest room. Both the porch and the living room couches are fine. Little ones may use chairs too. The house is really set up for Herman’s comfort and safety. The 32x10 covered front porch is a favorite of Herman and all his visiting friends. Your hairy friend will be delighted by this feature too. One more thing, the hardwood floors are currently covered in rubber “yoga mats” as Herman can not cope with slippery floors. There are also many large dog beds that Herman is happy to share. Opps, where are our manners; welcome to our slice of Paradise!😊

“McKayla is a dog whisperer. My dog can be fearful and reactive of strangers and she took to McKayla right away. She walked my dog several times while I was on a 2 week trip, and I felt so comfortable knowing my quirky pup was in good hands. You can tell she has a lot of experience with dogs who have special considerations. So happy I found her as a walker! Highly recommend her.”
“Joey was great with Ruby. They were both attuned to Ruby’s needs and also enthusiastic about being together and sharing time for a walk. Joey has a curiosity about the experience of the animal that lends to a special type of compassion. Looking forward to having them walk Ruby again after I have my baby!”
“Kait is awesome!! I am a teacher and she is always available when I have to stay after for work to walk Rue. She noticed she had goopy eyes and gave her a warm compress as well as took awesome photos! I don’t trust many with my fur baby; but I highly recommend Kait!! Thank you!!”
“So incredibly happy to have found Madeline!!!! Nikey adores her. She has great energy, is always down for walks and play time, no matter the weather. Which is amazing bc Nikey is always down for that too. Madeline is flexible and does a fantastic job with instructions. Zero complaints. She’s a keeper!”
“James is amazing! You can tell he really enjoys walking dogs. Very professional, good communication, on time. Pepper came back from his walk super happy and ready for more fun. Highly recommend and would call on him again in a heartbeat.”
“My dog spent very good time with Rachel. Rachel is the best dog walker I have ever met. She visited us before we leave and try to learn as much as possible about our dog. She kept us updated about Brownie’s status and always kept an eye on Brownie’s water bowl after every walk. I definitely will come back to Rachel again next time.”
“Kaylee took care of our dog very well. Our dog is a rescued dog and therefore is very shy. She knew how to handle him for walking him and also interact with him adequately”

I always make sure the fur baby has fresh water and food. Additionally, I keep the space clean and tidy if the pet made a mess (e.g. near the litter box or water bowls). Lastly, I give new pets time and space to get used to me. I don't invade their personal space and wait for them to make the initiative.

“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.”
“Alex is the BEST! We had a sitter back out last minute and luckily we found Alex. First off, the space Alex has made is a great for any furry companion to run, play, or just sniff around. Our 11 yr old dog is a big anxious girl who gets vertigo very easily. Alex made her feel right at home, put her at ease, and was able to catch her signs of a dizzy episode and medicated her exactly how we would have at home. Alex is a great host and will gladly send lots of pictures and updates that put any worries one might have aside. After we brought our old gal home she slept the day away from all the exploring and fun she had at Alex’s.”
“We are so grateful to Maxine! She took care of our pup on short notice when we had an emergency. Archie had a great time and we were relieved he was taken care of while we were away.”
“Laura is phenomenal with my small sensitive pup, I believe that she genuinely loves looking after and caring for him. She is considerate, trustworthy, good at communicating, and very consistent with providing updates and photos!”
“Our two pups were well taken care of and had a great time. Absolutely loved the fenced in yard and daily walks. Thank you so much for making their first experience seamless. Definitely will be booking again.”
“Thank you, thank you, thank you! Hiedi went above and beyond. From our meet and greet, communication prior to booking to see if our pups would be a good fit, (both are senior dogs-one with history of trauma needing support with transitions and change and the other is paralyzed from the waist down), drop off and pick up, to most importantly the daily updates and photos throughout our pups care Hiedi exceeded expectations. To see the peaceful calm in our pups eyes in the photos said it all. We knew they were well taken care off and felt safe. Highly recommend!”
“This place is doggy heaven! Our dog was walked often, had plenty of quality playtime with other dogs, and received lots of love and attention from Kelly and family. It is a relief to go away and know that our dog is not just cared for, but content as well. We will definitely use Kelly again!”
“Susan is incredible and I'm so glad to have found someone my very anxious dog can feel comfortable with when I'm gone. Susan kept me updated (with pictures when Jade would cooperate) regularly and was kind and patient, even when Jade decided to turn up the dramatics. Would absolutely recommend for anyone with an anxious dog who needs a little extra love and care!”
“Kathy and Tim are trustworthy, lovely people that will care deeply for your pet. They are a pleasure to speak with, knowing your dog will be in great hands. I would without a doubt book with them 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”
“Kyle was great for our young blue heeler Shadow! Our dog needs time to warm up to new people, and Kyle was very comfortable with that process. Upon first meeting, Shadow growled at him and snapped at the air a bit but Kyle was not bothered and knew to ignore Shadow at first. After some time, Shadow was asking him for belly rubs. Before leaving Shadow with Kyle we arranged two visits between him and the dog to make sure they were friends. Kyle was very accommodating and happy to take that extra time out of his day. I really appreciated his willingness to do that. During their time together, Kyle sent photos and updates every day. Right away from the photos we could see that our pup was relaxed and settling into spending time with his new human friend in the house and on walks. Shadow even got to sleep in bed and sit on couches (like he does at home...) Knowing everything was OK for both of them really helped us enjoy our trip. Big thanks to Kyle!”
“Adalia is fantastic. She made me feel very comfortable leaving Luxe with her for the week. She kept me updated and Luxe came home her same happy self. Will def use her again.”
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.
“Lauren was great. Our pups can be a handful and she was wonderful. They came back happy and well cared for. She was a great communicator and everything went smoothly from booking to drop off to pick up.”
“Beth watched our dog for over a week. She took excellent care of him and was extremely professional to work with. She had clean, comfortable amenities and was very conscientious about his needs. I would recommend her services to anyone looking for a sitter.”
