Personalized care for your dog or cat - Plainville
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Plainville
“Polina was great! This was the first time someone we didn’t know watched our 11.5 year old Lola, and it went smoothly. We received pictures during her stay as well! Highly recommended!”
“Mary was the perfect match for our elderly dog: she is patient and caring. Mary has her home and yard set up for every dog's optimal comfort, which we especially appreciated since our dog has arthritis. Ella, our 15 year-old papillon, loved her!”
“The Huijin household was wonderful to work with, and they were outstanding with my baby boy. I would recommend them to anyone, and will definitely attempt to use them again in the future.”
“The beat! So attentive, friendly, great facility. My pups didn't want to leave. The best thing was the short notice and they accommodated with ease. 100 percent would recommend.”
“My dog Chica suffers from terrible anxiety and wasn’t doing well at another sitter in the area so I was frantically looking for another sitter. I tried one night with John and Ellen and it seemed to go well so I booked again. Chica has stayed there for 3 nights and she seems to be doing so much better with her anxiety. Their place seems quiet and peaceful for her. She doesn’t come back scared. I only received photos on one day during her stay but she appeared to be doing well with the other dogs and looked content! It’s very hard to please a depressed dog but they seem to do so! I am definitely booking with John and Ellen again for a longer stay and know I won’t have to worry about Chica. Just hoping for more pictures next time! :)”
“Lindsey did an amazing job caring for our dogs, Cookie and Rocco, while we were out of town for two nights. She kept in touch throughout their stay, sent plenty of photos and updates, and gave us complete peace of mind while we were busy purchasing a home in New York. It was clear that Cookie and Rocco were well cared for, comfortable, and getting lots of attention. Lindsey was reliable, communicative, and genuinely seemed to enjoy spending time with them. We could not have asked for a better experience. We would absolutely trust Lindsey with our dogs again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable pet sitter! As dog parents, leaving our babies behind is never easy, but Lindsey made the whole experience stress-free.”
“Rachel was easy to communicate with and very flexible when our plans changed. Emma loved being at her home with her dog and kids. I think Emma enjoyed herself just as much as we did on our trip. We would definitely use Rachel’s services again.”
“Being our first board with our puppy we were very apprehensive. We got numerous photos from Jocelyn a day. Many including her family. Really put us at ease. Definitely would bring her back.”
“Donna is an amazing woman with the dogs in her care. Our senior Sophia stayed with Donna recently- instead of being scared, we saw that she made new doggie friends, explored the beautiful yard, roamed the deck like it was her own. She was a happy camper! Thank you so very much Donna.”
“Georgianne was wonderful for my dog Vera! It was my first time using Rover so I was very nervous but she did a wonderful job responding to me when I asked for updates and sent me photos and videos. My dog was very comfortable with her and loved her backyard! I would have Georgianne watch my dog again :)”
“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!”
“Nina was a lifesaver! She was able to schedule a meet and greet, and book our dog for the weekend with short notice. She was very communicative. We received updates, and pictures, which was so appreciated. Our dog seemed very content during his stay with Nina. We are looking forward to using her again!”
“Christine and her family were awesome with Apollo! I got daily pictures/videos and they were quick to respond to any questions I had about his stay. I will definitely be rebooking with them in the future!”
“Meghan was awesome, she took great care of my dog and kept me updated throughout the stay, she's also a great photographer so you'd get nice shots of your pets, a 100% recommended.”
About: I’ve taken care of many dog breeds for over 40 years, from walking, bathing, playtime, dogs with medical needs and seniors. Small and large breeds are welcome! I currently work just a few hours a week and my adult, dog loving daughter is always here if I am not. Weekdays and weekends are available for some fun with your fur babies! Your pet is free to roam throughout the house but I have a crate and a 2 room area that can be closed off if needed. I have a large fenced in yard for safety and lots of playtime. Your doggy will be comfortable while vacationing in our home!
“Harper had another wonderful time with Tiffany & her dog Luigi! She was well-cared for & I was updated on how she was doing. Communication was, as always, easy & quick. We will definitely be back!”

“Lee is fantastic! We’ve booked Lee multiple times. She communicates well and is thorough with documenting her visit. Especially great at giving attention to our old kitty.”
“This was the first time we used Nora and she was awesome. My dogs immediately took to her. She kept them busy doing all the things they love, which includes exploring outdoors and playing hard. We will definitely use Nora again.”
“Amanda was responsive, caring, and incredibly trustworthy taking care of James and Winifred. She sent pictures and let me know of her arrival and departure. I would highly recommend her- she’s very comfortable with my rowdy dogs and they loved her immediately.”
“Pam did an amazing job with my 3 kitties. She sent pictures with all of the updates, and was even able to win over the shy guy of the bunch. Will continue to book in the future.”
“Courtney and Caleb were wonderful. They spent some quality time with our baby, Chloe (cat). They went above and beyond in assisting us with additional favors requested while we’re out of town. They did all of this over the Thanksgiving holiday week. Will definitely reach out to them next time we need help.”
“Maria was incredible to work with. I was nervous to leave my best friend in the care of anyone besides me but my nerves were quickly relieved. Maria took the time to have a meet and greet so he knew her beforehand and also was extremely professional, asking lots of relevant questions to make sure she knew exactly what to do. Frequent photo updates kept me from wondering about him on my vacation. 100% would recommend Maria and I will be using her again”
“Taryn and her son did a great job! They came for a meet and greet ahead of time which went very well. They took great care of my animals and even spent time playing with them each day. She had good communication with me throughout my time away and also sent me a bunch of pictures each day which made me feel much better about being away from my furbabies. Will be booking with her again. Thank you!!”
“Erica was great! My very anti-social cat was very comfortable with her. She was kind enough to dispose of a mouse that one of my cats killed. She provides a lot of pictures and detailed updates. I plan on booking with her whenever I can!”
About: I’ve been an animal lover my whole life! I’ve had family fur babies since I was young. I learned at an early age the responsibility it takes to love and care for your pets. I prefer to come to your home where you and your pets are most comfortable. I’m qualified to care for pets varying in age, from pup/kitten to senior care. I’m an extremely trustworthy, loyal, responsible, clean, fun and loving person who just wants to help people when they are in need and what better way to do that than to love on their fur babies when life gets busy! I have a fairly flexible schedule. I work from home three days a week (most weeks) Typically, Monday, Wednesday and Friday (In office Tuesday and Thursday). I will do my best to make a schedule that works for all of us! I will care for your pets however you prefer. I would like to do meet and greets to ensure that you and your pet are comfortable as well as myself. I can fine tune the details once the client and I agree that we are a match!
About: Though my years of cat care experience are less than my years of dog care experience, I have taken care of numerous cats in those years, including feeding, administering medications, cleaning litter boxes and sharing love with all of the precious kitties I have met! :)
“Amanda is absolutely wonderful and oh so sweet! My cat will typically hide on anyone that’s looking after him while I am away… not this time. He trusted her right from the start, which speaks volumes. The daily updates / photos that she sent me helped immensely too. I highly recommend Amanda, she is undoubtedly the best. If you’re looking for someone that will love your kitty as much as you, she is your girl!”
About: I have experience in wildlife rehabilitation, zookeeping, managing horses. I’m comfortable doing most basic animal care for a variety of animals and happy to learn about anything I haven’t had experience with. Dogs, cats, reptiles, hoofstock, poultry and so on! My schedule is fairly flexible with some notice. Available early mornings, late nights and in between. I am happy to adjust my schedule based on each animal’s routine and needs. I am attentive and observant of each animal’s needs and routines. Happy to follow specific schedules and tasks to adhere to their normal care standards. While I do have a yard, it is unfenced so dogs go out on a leash unless they have exceptional recall. Often joking or walks around the neighborhood. All animal’s are crated or otherwise contained when left alone for short periods and always separated at feeding times.
“Kimberly was amazing! Her communication was great, she sent pictures of every walk along with a map of where they went, and overall she took wonderful care of our dog Fitz. We are so glad to have found her! :)”
About: I've been a cat owner for about 1-2 years now, I have lived with two other cats (owned by others), but helped care for all of them. My cat was from the streets and used to be shy, but now she confidently runs around the house, announcing her presence!
About: I've spent many years working at a Pet Grooming shop in CNY spending lots of time with dogs and cats. I understand temperament and behavior very well.

“Alex is always so wonderful with my cat and definitely gives me peace of mind if I need to be away for a few days. He is communicative and very flexible! I always appreciate his help.”
About: I started longer-term overnight dog sitting about three years ago. I do frequent daytime potty breaks for friends when they are out of town. I have watched cats as well. I worked as a veterinary assistant for two years and I enjoy both cat and dog snuggles. Not currently working much, schedule is flexible which is ideal for your puppies that may need potty breaks while you are at work during the day or away on weekends. Unfortunately, I will only go to the clients home. I will not bring other animals into my house. I do own a cat and this is something my husband and I have agreed on.

It’s clear that Daylin has a true love for animals and went above and beyond to ensure my dog’s happiness and comfort. I highly recommend their services and will definitely be using them again in the future!”

About: Hi, I’m Sara! As a lifelong animal-lover, I have taken care of a wide variety of animals that includes large and small dogs, cats, rodents, rabbits, exotic birds, reptiles, and many others. I also have experience caring for wild animals such as squirrels, opossums, groundhogs, fawns, and weasels through my work as a wildlife rehabilitator. I work as a Special Education teacher, which allows me to spend my summers caring for your fur babies! I have a large fenced in yard that is perfect for playing fetch or just relaxing in the sun! And if your dog is a swimmer, we have an in-ground pool that they are welcome to use! I currently have one dog, a 5-year-old poodle named Olive, who is incredibly friendly and loves playing with new friends. I also have four cats who do very well with other animals. I am comfortable caring for dogs that are not yet house-trained, senior pets, and pets with special needs. Since I don’t work in the summer, my schedule is highly flexible and adaptable to you and your pet’s needs. I understand that each pet has their unique personality and care needs, which is why I prioritize individualized attention and care for every pet in my care. Whether it's taking dogs on long walks, engaging in playtime with cats, or maintaining a consistent feeding schedule, I am dedicated to ensuring their happiness and well-being! When you entrust your fur-babies to me, you can rest assured that they will receive the utmost attention and love. In my home, animals are always welcome to hang out with me on the couch and sleep in my bed! While your pet is in my care they'll have supervision around the clock and you'll always be able to reach me. I will keep you updated with regular reports, photos, and videos of our days together. Communication is key, and I am always available to address any concerns or answer any questions you may have.
“My dogs absolutely love going to Kathryns and run to the door when we arrive. She is very thorough on letting me know how their day went and what they did. You can tell her and her family enjoy caring for my pups and I highly recommend her.”
About: Having been through a fairly traumatic dog attack myself, I made it my mission to learn all about dog's behavior and why they do what they do. I have studied different ways of training and learning how to react to certain situations with them. I promise to love and give all the fun play time, cuddle time, and attention to your favorite furry friend! Your doggy can sleep in my bed and hang out on the couch. If you are anything like me, your dog is your best friend and child! I had an amazing female Boston Terrier who lived to 13 1/2. I am versed in care of elderly dogs. My new venture is a deaf puppy. We are learning hand signals for training. He is very friendly and loves to make new friends. If you have any questions about what I'm willing to do, or can and can't do, please don't hesitate to ask me! I work for a family business, and can bring my dog to work. Therefore, your pup will be able to come to work with me! I will love your baby as if it was my own. Dogs will always be leashed outside. They are allowed on furniture here and are welcome to snuggle anytime! But if you have different rules , please tell me so I can abide by them.
“We booked Laina very last minute to watch our 1-year old doodle. Cooper had an amazing time! Laina sent pictures throughout the day of Cooper playing with both her dog and her daughter- which were so cute! We'd definitely recommend and will be booking again when needed :)”

About: I’ve always been an animal lover and have experience caring for dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I’ve helped with daily walks, feeding routines, administering basic medications, and providing lots of attention and companionship. I understand how important it is to keep pets on their normal routine, and I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.

I have a fully fenced in backyard (although I can also take your pet for walks as well if preferred!) and am available to give lots of cuddles all day as I work from home full time!

On the weekends I am usually out hiking or with friends, and can take your pet on those adventures as well! I also have a small 30 lb house trained and friendly doggy named Ramsey who is always down to play and/or nap :) I am able to give your pet around the clock care as I work from home, and my dog Ramsey is always ready to make new friends!

Please let me know what your needs are, I want their stay to be as comfortable as possible!
“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.”

“Katherine was very friendly and my dog loved her immediately! She took her for a 34 minute walk and covered 1.5 miles! She tired my Labrador retriever out which is no easy task! Thank you Katherine!”
“Nora was excellent with our dogs, they came back from walks tired and happy. It was clear that Nora has a ton of experience and is very knowledgeable about dog behavior. Would definitely book her again!”
“Renny was flexible warm, patient, and very knowledgeable about animals and my dog's breed. She was communicative and I appreciated the quick response time. Gave me peace of mind when I was out of town. I would book her again!”
About: What sets me apart is my experience working with dogs of all personalities and needs, especially reactive dogs and strong pullers. I have completed training with my own reactive chocolate lab through Justin’s Canine Campus, along with continuing training work at home, which has taught me patience, consistency, and how to read dog behavior closely. As a teacher, I’m dependable, calm, and attentive, and I naturally bring those qualities into caring for pets. I’ve loved animals since I was young and also continue to volunteer at animal shelters (Helping Hounds & HumaneCNY) giving me experience with dogs who may need extra patience, structure, or reassurance. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine. As a teacher, I have summers off and will soon be working part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility for walks, playtime, and quality attention. During the school year, I’m also an early bird and start my mornings with an average 2-mile walk with my own dog, so staying active and keeping pets on a routine is something I truly enjoy. I care for every pet as if they were my own and always focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. In a client’s home, I try to keep pets on their normal routine with feeding, walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, and plenty of attention and affection. I also make sure their space stays clean and that they feel calm while their owners are away.
“Pam has been so wonderful to work with! Going back to office is so much easier with Pam walking our dog. She’s friendly, responsive, and we 100% trust in her to keep our dog safe and cared for based on her needs. Selfishly I’d love to keep Pam to myself, but if you need a dog walker, she’s your girl!”

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: Hi, I'm Brooke! I’m 19 years old and have been around animals my entire life. Growing up, I was never without a pet, and caring for animals has always come naturally to me.

I also have a 10 year old rescue dog named Gunner and recently rescued a bearded dragon named Dino. I’m comfortable caring for cats, dogs, and reptiles, and I understand that every animal has their own personality and needs. Friends and family have trusted me to feed, play with, check on, and care for their pets while they’re away. I’m patient, attentive, dependable, and genuinely love spending time with animals of all kinds. Pet care fits naturally into my daily schedule because caring for animals has always been a part of my daily life. I have a flexible routine and enjoy spending time feeding, playing with, walking, and giving attention to pets throughout the week. I will care for your pets like they’re my own by keeping them fed, comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. I’ll follow their routines closely, give them plenty of attention and playtime, and make sure they feel calm and cared for in their home environment.

“Isaiah is an amazing dog walker!! He is very friendly and super reliable! I never had to worry about my dog not being well taken care of. I can’t say I’ve felt the same with other dog walkers we have used. Goose also loves him and enjoys their walks! I would highly recommend him!”

Feel free to bring your own crate for extended stays.
“She’s always punctual, got a great attitude, and is so good to all the animals. She’s very easy to work with, I couldn’t ask for somebody better. I definitely recommend her.”
About: I started longer-term overnight dog sitting about three years ago. I do frequent daytime potty breaks for friends when they are out of town. I have watched cats as well. I worked as a veterinary assistant for two years and I enjoy both cat and dog snuggles. Not currently working much, schedule is flexible which is ideal for your puppies that may need potty breaks while you are at work during the day or away on weekends. Unfortunately, I will only go to the clients home. I will not bring other animals into my house. I do own a cat and this is something my husband and I have agreed on.

“Mary was the perfect match for our elderly dog: she is patient and caring. Mary has her home and yard set up for every dog's optimal comfort, which we especially appreciated since our dog has arthritis. Ella, our 15 year-old papillon, loved her!”
“The Huijin household was wonderful to work with, and they were outstanding with my baby boy. I would recommend them to anyone, and will definitely attempt to use them again in the future.”
“The beat! So attentive, friendly, great facility. My pups didn't want to leave. The best thing was the short notice and they accommodated with ease. 100 percent would recommend.”
“My dog Chica suffers from terrible anxiety and wasn’t doing well at another sitter in the area so I was frantically looking for another sitter. I tried one night with John and Ellen and it seemed to go well so I booked again. Chica has stayed there for 3 nights and she seems to be doing so much better with her anxiety. Their place seems quiet and peaceful for her. She doesn’t come back scared. I only received photos on one day during her stay but she appeared to be doing well with the other dogs and looked content! It’s very hard to please a depressed dog but they seem to do so! I am definitely booking with John and Ellen again for a longer stay and know I won’t have to worry about Chica. Just hoping for more pictures next time! :)”
“Lindsey did an amazing job caring for our dogs, Cookie and Rocco, while we were out of town for two nights. She kept in touch throughout their stay, sent plenty of photos and updates, and gave us complete peace of mind while we were busy purchasing a home in New York. It was clear that Cookie and Rocco were well cared for, comfortable, and getting lots of attention. Lindsey was reliable, communicative, and genuinely seemed to enjoy spending time with them. We could not have asked for a better experience. We would absolutely trust Lindsey with our dogs again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable pet sitter! As dog parents, leaving our babies behind is never easy, but Lindsey made the whole experience stress-free.”
“Rachel was easy to communicate with and very flexible when our plans changed. Emma loved being at her home with her dog and kids. I think Emma enjoyed herself just as much as we did on our trip. We would definitely use Rachel’s services again.”
“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!”
“Christine and her family were awesome with Apollo! I got daily pictures/videos and they were quick to respond to any questions I had about his stay. I will definitely be rebooking with them in the future!”
“Meghan was awesome, she took great care of my dog and kept me updated throughout the stay, she's also a great photographer so you'd get nice shots of your pets, a 100% recommended.”
About: I’ve taken care of many dog breeds for over 40 years, from walking, bathing, playtime, dogs with medical needs and seniors. Small and large breeds are welcome! I currently work just a few hours a week and my adult, dog loving daughter is always here if I am not. Weekdays and weekends are available for some fun with your fur babies! Your pet is free to roam throughout the house but I have a crate and a 2 room area that can be closed off if needed. I have a large fenced in yard for safety and lots of playtime. Your doggy will be comfortable while vacationing in our home!
“Harper had another wonderful time with Tiffany & her dog Luigi! She was well-cared for & I was updated on how she was doing. Communication was, as always, easy & quick. We will definitely be back!”
“Thomas was amazing with our two pups. He's fully invested and cares so deeply about their well-being. We never had any reservations about their week long stay with him. His updates and pictures were so helpful. It put our minds at ease to know they were happy and well cared for while we were away.”
“Kiera took such wonderful care of my senior guy! I dropped him off at her home while I moved into my new place and I had such peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. Kiera sent me pics and videos of Chico playing and out on walks with her sweet senior girl! I will definitely bring Chico back to Kiera’s in the future.”
“Molly and Nik took excellent care of my dog! They sent daily photos of their adventures together and it brought me so much joy to see Dodger having a great time with Molly’s two dogs. I will absolutely book them again when we are out of town. Dodger had such a great time! Thank you again!”
About: I have cared for my own dog for the past 13 years and sadly he died in February 2025. I walked him around my neighborhood consistently for all those years and now having that routine gone is difficult. Before having him as my own, I also helped take care of my families dog for several years. I am experienced in caring for dogs of all ages and demeanors and all sizes too :) I am attending SUNY Cortland right now and that is the only large barrier in my weekly schedule. I can care and/or walk dogs after 7pm on Monday and Wednesdays. I am available after 4pm on Tuesday and Thursday. Friday and Saturday I can provide care all day with a days notice. Without notice I will most likely be working on Friday and therefore not available until after 4pm that day. I can house-sit on Fridays and Saturdays and into Sunday afternoon as well! I will maintain a safe and calm environment for your pet while caring for them and allow them to initiate any desired games or actions. I am willing to accommodate however you prefer for your dog when caring for them, just let me know of anything necessary :) Any questions or concerns for your dog's care are welcomed and appreciated as I prefer a heads up in advance of anything unusual or to keep an eye out/for. Thanks :)
“Staci was absolutely wonderful - we will definitely be using her again! Before we left Ozzie in her care, she was happy to meet over facetime and then in person to make sure we were comfortable. She was calm and warm, and sent us plenty of pictures so we could see how happy our little guy was! She is reliable, kind, and clearly a dog lover, and she took excellent care of Ozzie! Five stars!!”
“Brent took excellent care of my dog for two weeks. I love that he updated us on everything happening with my dog while we were away. He is someone you can trust with your pets. I'd book him again in future travels.”
