Personalized care for your dog or cat - Onchiota

“Jim and Trinity were wonderful, patient and caring with our pup who was anxious for his first stay away from home. We felt completely at ease through their communication and warm and responsible manner. We would definitely have Argos stay with them again next time we go away! Thank you!!”

About: I’ve had dogs in my life for as long as I can remember, since I was a baby, they’ve always been part of my family. Over the years, I’ve taken care of two of my own, which gave me firsthand experience with everything from training energetic puppies to supporting older dogs with more gentle needs. Unfortunately, both of my dogs are no longer with me due to a past relationship, but the love and commitment I put into their care remains a huge part of who I am. What sets me apart as a sitter is the level of personal experience and compassion I bring. I understand how important it is to create a safe, loving environment where dogs feel comfortable and cared for just like they would at home. I’m attentive to routines, patient with training, and comfortable providing senior care when needed. Every dog I look after gets treated like family, because to me, they truly are. As a full-time teacher during the week, my schedule is structured and organized, which naturally carries over into how I approach pet care. I am very interested in walking dogs from hours 3-7pm on weekdays! While my weekdays are busy with the classroom, my evenings are flexible, and my weekends are completely open to devote my full attention to pets. On weekends, I can fully prioritize walks, playtime, training, and extra cuddles, making sure each pet gets the time, love, and care they deserve. Caring for animals isn’t just something I fit into my schedule, it’s something I look forward to and plan my time around. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, my approach is always the same, providing a safe, loving, and structured environment that feels comfortable and familiar to each animal. I follow each pet’s routine as closely as possible, from feeding and medication schedules to walks, playtime, and rest. In a client’s home, I make sure their space is respected and that their pet feels secure in their own environment. If a pet is in my home, I create a calm, pet-friendly atmosphere with plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I also focus on communication with pet parents, sending updates and photos so they know their furry family member is happy and cared for. My goal is to make every pet feel loved and every owner feel reassured while they’re away.

About: I understand that the worst part of your day is leaving your dog. Saying goodbye when you go to work or go out of town doesn’t have to be so tough once you get to know me. I absolutely love dog’s and gaurentee that I will provide your pup with whatever he/she needs to be happy and feel at home. If it’s just a walk I still make sure your dog is satisfied and happy anyway that I can. I have tons of experience and love my job. I also enjoy going on hiking adventures so let’s get creative and make a plan that exactly fits your dogs needs! I understand that some dogs require more than others. I can’t wait to meet your dog! I work remotely and have a very flexible schedule. I’m a local fishing guide in the area. I will always make your pet my #1 priority. I have a large fenced in yard that the dogs can enjoy anytime they’d like. I do allow dogs on the furniture as they please unless advised otherwise. I try to have a good sense of how your pet is feeling throughout the day and do my best to make them happy as can be.

“Lena took very good care of our two cats. She was very thorough and updated us on each of her visits, including pictures. We have a very timid cat and Lena was able to gain his trust in a short amount of time. She is extremely professional and knowledgeable. We look forward to working with her again in the future!”

“Shauna was great! She was accommodating and able to get a stubborn cat to eat her medication. She was timely with her check-ins and we got cute pictures for each visit.”

Lindsay W.

“Alli cared for our cat, Josie, while we were out of town which made for a stress free vacation. She was easily reached, responded quickly, and sent many pictures and videos during her stay. She did overnights and we came home to a very clean home and a content kitty. I highly recommend her. We will definitely use Alli again!”

From creepy crawlies to furry friends, I'm here for any and every animal that comes my way!

I am comfortable with animals of all sizes, breeds, and species so if you're in my area I'd love to meet you and your pets! I work full time with a varying schedule between 5:30am and 5:30 pm. I will often available for walks and check ins during evening hours with some daytime & morning availability depending on my schedule that week. I am a cleanly person who will leave your home the way you left it and your pets safe while I am there! I am confident I can provide a trustworthy experience for you.

“Aleah took great care of our kitties. She sent us pictures and updates while we were away and even befriended our timid guy. We are super appreciative to have someone spend time with our cats since they love company!”

About: Aside from having a family dog for 15 years, I have house/pet-sitting experience working for family members and close friends since 2007. I have never met a pet I didn’t adore. I’m self-employed, which means very flexible hours. Weekends are not out of the question with notice. I always try to find ways to make scheduling work. I will make sure that your loving companions are safe, fed, walked (if applicable), loved and attended to for the entire duration of my visit.

About: I’ve cared for cats my whole life and have experience looking after them in clients’ homes. I provide love, attention, playtime, and follow each cat’s routine to ensure they are happy, safe, and comfortable, including kittens, adult cats, and seniors.

“Razz had a great stay! Communication during the day was excellent & was very happy with our booking. Will definitely be using Trinity & Jane’s again!”

Sue P.

“Rachael and Alexander were wonderful with our pups! Would highly recommend!”

“Matt did a great job of watching my 3 month old puppy. She stayed for doggy daycare in Matt's apartment. Matt was super flexible with drop off and pick up time. I received several pictures throughout the day and Raven seemed like she had a great time playing with Bridger.”

Heath P.

“He was responsive, flexible, and sent us updates which were much appreciated. Our dog appeared to have enjoyed his time, happy & healthy. We would definitely use Saveliy again on a future trip to the area!”

Emily V.

“Maddy was incredibly easy to communicate with when booking my dog and very accommodating of the fact he is still being trained/working on some issues from the rescue and therefore cannot be left unsupervised. She kept me updated on how he was doing and he seems to have had a good time. I absolutely would recommend booking with Maddy and will do so again next time I need someone to watch Tucker.”

Grace L.

“I would highly recommend Dawn to take care of your fur baby; she cared for my rambunctious Goldendoodle as if he were her own. She is conveniently located in a quaint neighborhood that has limited traffic and no unleashed dogs; so, in addition to getting exercise in Dawn’s fenced in backyard, my puppy got exercise when Dawn walked around the neighborhood. After playing with toys supplied by Dawn, my dog cozied up to her dog for a nap. I was so hesitant to leave my precious baby with a complete stranger (he’s my first ever dog and I love him so much), but after meeting Dawn, I felt completely at ease entrusting her to take the greatest care of him. She definitely has a love of animals. Thank you, Dawn. Rusty ? and Kelly”

Kelly W.

“Matthew was great. Very good communication and lots of pictures of my pup. Will use him again for sure. Thanks Matthew.”

Patrick B.

“Alli was great with our pets. She cared for our dog and cat for a weekend and all went really well. Our dog loved her instantly, and felt really confortable around her from the beggining. She sent frequent updates and lots of pictures. We really felt great about having her taking care of our babies and really recommend her.”

Mabel T.

“Shauna is a favorite in our little family now! She is responsible, calm, and punctual. I hope to have her walk Sky again.”

About: I’ve been dog sitting since I was 17. I have had lots of experience walking active larger breeds and taking care of puppies, kittens and cats. When I’m not hanging out with animals, I stay active and creative. Over the years I’ve worked as a preschool teacher, full time nanny, swim coach/ instructor and security guard in New York as well as Northern California. I believe that understanding animals vocal and physical actions through sincere intuitive observation, is the most important quality to have when taking care of a pet and their needs. Safety, trust & environment; There are many safe trails throughout the Adirondacks that I’m comfortable walking dogs on and I always bring water to share with a on the go water bowl! When traveling with animals I always put on a gentle playlist I made for my own pets to ensure they don’t get any anxiety from the sounds of being on the road. I have a great amount of experience with bathing/ washing dogs and cats for either sensitive issues or just a routine bath for a muddy pup. I have lots of experience with handling and providing medication to animals, as well as bottle feeding with a gentle approach.

About: As a dog mom of three, I understand how important routine, safety, and trust are when someone else is caring for your dog. I provide in-home sitting, walks, and drop-in visits. I’ve cared for both large and small breeds, as well as puppies and senior dogs. I’m comfortable administering medications if needed. My goal is to make sure both you and your dog feel completely at ease while you’re away. Since I work online from home, I can be with your pets throughout the day, giving them love, attention, walks, playtime, and everything they need. Occasionally, I step out for short house cleanings, but I would only be gone for a couple of hours at most. In your home, I make sure your pets are safe, cared for, and loved. I follow their routines, provide walks and playtime, and keep them happy and comfortable while you’re away.

About: I’ve worked with dogs on and off for years but have had dogs all of my life. I have given played with big packs of pups and done solo play times as well. I have a flexible schedule that will let me have more availability for your fluffy friends to get out and play and exercise. I’m looking for a long term dog caring commitment to start off my new year. I am not able to do home care ( in my home) at this time. I do have two wonderful dogs who love to have play dates at puppy parks and go for long walks.
