“If you want your dog to be in a loving, beautful home with great, responsible, happy, and experienced people - Becky and her family should be a top choice! She welcomed and took care of Ruby as if she was her own. Exercised and walked her often. Played with her and sent many happy pictures. Becky is a 5-star sitter!”
“Vanessa went above and beyond caring for my dog. He was well cared for including feeding, socialization, and exercise. He got to experience new surroundings and settings that included an exercise arena that he thoroughly enjoyed. I appreciate the time and attention given to him and would highly recommend anyone to trust their dog with Vanessa and her family. Thank You!”
“Highly recommend Whitney and Kevin very pleasant and Spritz enjoys staying with Whitney and Kevin. They send pictures and makes you feel comfortable leaving our furbaby.”
“This is the 2nd time Lauren and her family took care of Sadie. She was happy and well taken care of again. Very nice folks and would recommend them whole hardily. Thanks for taking such good care of Sadie for me❤️”
“A wonderfully sweet and caring sitter who did a magnificent job taking care of my senior dog. She is very mature and professional. She was conscientious of my senior dogs limitations but still kept her active and engaged. She expressed initiative in helping out with my furbaby's care that wasn't anticipated was sooo appreciated. Would recommend her to everyone, and will definitely use her every future needs.”
“Mikayla was wonderful with my 2 dogs! She watched them for a few days while we were out of town. It was our first time using someone other than family to watch our dogs. She communicated with me daily, providing updates, photos and videos. She had no problem feeding them their raw food diet and was careful with my 7 yr old frenchie who has a few food allergies. She even made sure my 11 month old cane corso had a chance to run around the yard and get out all her puppy energy.”
“Can't say enough about these wonderful people who welcomed our fur-baby into their home. Bernie instantly took to Kirsten and her very host savvy pups. So fortunate to have found them and so close to where we live. Kirsten kept me up to date on Bernie's activities and sent photos of our very happy pup. He had a blast running in their fenced in yard and there were comfy places to get some rest. Bernie is excited to head back to Camp K in May and spend a week with his new buddies!! We are comforted knowing he will be so loved and cared for. We highly recommend Kirsten and Mark!”
“Geoffery was the best sitter we have ever experienced. We were scared our boy wouldn’t want to come home from all the tender love and care, walks and attention he received daily! He watched our high energy, escape artist husky and not once did we have to worry. So grateful and definitely rebooking.”
“If you are looking for an exceptional dog-sitter, look no further than Rutha K. She provided our Cavapoo, Tori, with excellent care and my wife and I were very confident in leaving Tori with her for the few days we were away. We will definitely utilize her services again!”
“Jenny is super easy to communicate with and flexible! She’s very friendly and I felt my dog was very safe with her. We actually needed to cancel our booking so Daisy only spent a few hours with her but she had already sent us a photo! I will definitely be booking with Jenny in the future.”
“Gil was an absolutely wonderful dog sitter. Our gigantic and sometimes nervous dog, Stella, was very well cared for and Gil sent lots of pictures of their lovely walks together. Gil met with us in advance so he could start to get to know Stella; he is obviously a caring and gentle person and she got lots of love while she was with him.”
“I found a Blue Ribbon dog sitter in Nicole! She takes my dog Poppy to her house and is very punctual in drop off and return. She says her kids love having Poppy stay with them. I feel absolutely free from any worry and Poppy loves to see me again upon return.”
“Katie has been amazing on keeping me up to date on how my puppers was doing/adjusting. She sent photos for a few updates as well!! We will be back again and I know Maple is already excited to get back there!”

About: Quality pet care, mixed with love, exercise, fun, and safety. That is what I'm all about. I have loved pets since was younger, and first started working with pets as a pet sitter/dog walker. I loved getting to know fur babies and what makes them happiest. I like bringing new buddies home for Lui and mostly I like helping people have a little more time by taking amazing care of their loved ones while at work. I'm happiest when I'm with my pup Lui. He's soon to be 2 years old and still is my spoiled little boy. The love I have for Lui is the love your baby will get when booking with me. We go on walks, we learn new tricks, and get lots of exercise! The more energy the better! I've also had experience dealing with pets with anxiety or aggressive tendencies. Not new to taking my time to build trust and offering a separate space to a dog who needs it. I have cameras in my house offer peace of mind that your loved one is safe & see all the fun we have when indoors, like TV time or tug of war. It's always a fun time and I'm always here for it. I organize my schedule mostly to work with pets full time, my work occupies me from 4 AM to about noon and work 5 minutes from my house with liberty to stop in at any point. Most days I am here through the mornings too so your furry loved ones get undivided attention. I only book dogs in time blocks of 5 hours, so I am never over crowded when it comes to boarding or day care. I like to be sure each pet is taken care of personally and effectively. Pet-Sitting: Often this service for me changes based on owner preference. It requires more in depth detail about the home life of the pet. One reason for this is to ensure I am not interrupting any routines the pet may have. Boarding & Day Care: I treat all pets as if they were my very best friend. We have tv time together (Dog TV), we go on two 30 minute walks within the 5 hour time block. We even eat meals together. Being that my yard is unfenced I personally walk the dogs on leash for 30-45 minutes. Meals for pets are based on owner specifications. Overnight boarding being different in a sense of they get one night walk before bed time/wind down time. They are uncrated (unless the owner specifies to do so), so they have full use of the living area and pets are allowed to be on the furniture purchased for them (Although I am not new to waking up and them being on the couch!)
“Heather did a wonderful job doing daily drop in visits for my two cats. She sent pictures and videos daily, and followed all of the instructions I left. I was able to relax knowing that my cats were being taken care of by someone who truly cares about animals. I highly recommend Heather!”
About: I’ve owned cats all 20 years of my life. I have a deep and immense passion for caring for them, and showing them attention as well as providing company to them. I live with three cats, one a rescued stray, and provide them with the best life possible, with love and care. i have had ill pets that required medicine in the past, and administer medicine for my current cats routinely as well as basic care such as feeding, cleaning after, brushing, replacing food and water regularly, clipping their nails, letting them in and out of the house as needed, and bathing if needed. :)
About: I’ve taken care of many kinds of different dogs. Parents, friends and family have asked me to care for them while they’re gone. My childhood dog was boxer so have a lot of experience with that breed and I have a pit bull terrier of my own. I am currently home full time, so I’ll have a lot of free time to play and care for your fur babies. Considering I have lots of free time having a dog or a couple dogs to care for isn’t a problem for! I love all animals and treat them like my own! I have a partially fenced yard and a long 100+ ft chain that I could clip onto your dogs collar so they can roam around without getting lose/ running away, they will have their own food and water bowls and be taken out as needed. If your dog needs to be in a crate I have two at home that I could use. I also have a pup of my own that your dog can play with.
“Gabriella was great with our cat Maple. Maple was perfectly happy while we were away because of Gabriella's great care every day. She even left Maple a Christmas gift, which she loves! We will definitely book Gabriella again if we need another cat sitter.”

About: What sets me apart as a cat sitter is my commitment to providing specialized care that goes beyond the basics. I'm not just here to feed your cat; I'm dedicated to ensuring their health, happiness, and comfort in every way. Specialized Care and Experience I have extensive experience with administering medications, including pills and liquids. I understand that a consistent schedule is crucial for your cat's health, and I'll make sure their medication is given precisely as prescribed. My background in handling cats with special needs, such as those with diabetes, kidney disease, or anxiety, means I'm prepared for any situation. Beyond medication, I believe a clean environment is a key part of a cat's well-being. I take pride in deep-cleaning litter boxes, ensuring they're scooped multiple times a day and sanitized regularly to prevent odors and promote hygiene. I also make sure food and water bowls are kept sparkling clean. A Focus on Mental and Physical Well-being My visits are not just a quick stop. I dedicate time to interactive play, using toys and games to keep your cat mentally stimulated and physically active. For more timid cats, I offer a gentle and patient presence, allowing them to warm up to me at their own pace. I can also provide grooming, like brushing and nail trims, if needed. When you choose me, you're not just hiring a sitter; you're getting a dedicated partner in your cat's care. I'll provide detailed updates after every visit, complete with photos and notes on how your cat is doing, so you can have complete peace of mind while you're away.

“Heather was great with my little guy. I was heading to Cooperstown for a few hours and needed a place for him to stay while I was out and about. Heather sent me pictures and updates the few hours she had him. If you’re ever in the area, I highly recommend using Heather to watch your dog!”

About: I have over forty years of dog experience. I bred German Shepherd’s for fifteen years. I have taken obedience, agility, and Nose work from local professional trainers and have done puppy, beginner, intermediate and advanced obedience with three of my dogs. I also worked for 1.5 years at a doggie daycare in Utica. I want to do my doggie daycare on a small scale so your pet receives individual attention. I have seen places doing 25- 50 dogs with only one or two people watching them and I feel there is a great need for care on a much smaller scale. So here I am! I retired from banking and with my husband live on our small farm in the country. We built what we call the dog arena for exercising our personal dogs and I intend to use it to also exercise my clients dogs. I am available most weekends and week days. I was working a part time job at a doggie daycare but recently decided that I would prefer to be home with my pups and yours! I have a large fenced in exercise area. I have gates in my home so I can gradually introduce our dogs or can keep them separate depending on individual needs.

Gil made sure to send us photos of our pup throughout the day, as well as updates on its evacuations (very important for an older dog). Overall, I can say unequivocally that Gil was a perfect sitter for our elderly pup, and I would 100% recommend him to anyone needing a pet sitter in that area! Kudos, Gil!”

“Dennis is personable, prompt, and flexible. He offers a variety of services for your canine companion. I appreciated his very thoughtful observation of my dog’s body language, behavior, and preference cues - Elliot can take a moment to warm up to new friends and lives to play with his flirt stick. I would, without reservation, recommend Dennis as your walker, play date companion, and house sitter.”

About: I'm a Certified Professional Dog Trainer, Knowledge Assessed (CPDT-KA), and I have over 15 years of working with dogs in veterinary clinics, humane societies, boarding kennels, grooming parlors, and most recently, managing a doggy daycare and teaching classes for a dog training institution. I own 13 acres of woods and fields that allows for dogs to run and play, though boarders use long lines for safety. Each dog who comes into my home will retain basic manners, including waiting at doors, loose leash walking skills, and come when called commands. I'm experienced with and capable of handling under-socialized or even aggressive dogs. I simply work with dogs on an individualized basis, to develop appropriate relationships with each pet. I love dogs, all dogs, and they tend to love me back.
About: I’ve taken care of everything from small cats to wolf dogs. I will be able to take care of your pets, they will be happy with me.

I care for your pets by going by whatever schedule or rules you set out. No matter what, I will do my best to make sure they are happy and safe.
About: I have many years of experience working with dogs of all sizes. Enjoy walking dogs. Will care for your dog and treat them as family. I’m able to take care of your animal during day, evening or even for overnight. I’m always walking dogs and pet sitting cats and dogs. I will follow instructions for what is needed. Will keep animals safe and ensure that any animals that are not allowed outside don’t go outside. I will play with animals, empty litter box, and ensure they are safe before leaving.
About: With 5 years of dedicated experience in pet care, I provide a comprehensive and compassionate service tailored to the unique needs of each animal. My expertise extends beyond basic care to include specialized skills such as positive reinforcement-based puppy training, helping to establish good habits from an early age. I also have a deep understanding of senior dog care, including administering medication, providing gentle exercise, and creating a comfortable, low-stress environment. I have experience managing a variety of medical conditions, ensuring your furry family member is safe and well-cared for at all times. My goal is to be a trusted partner in your pet's health and happiness, providing peace of mind while you're away. Each morning starts with feeding, watering, and a potty break for the pets in my care. This is followed by a morning walk or playtime to get their energy out and start the day on a positive note. Throughout the day, I follow individual schedules, which might include specific feeding times for puppies or senior dogs, medication administration, or scheduled walks and potty breaks. The afternoon often includes another round of playtime or enrichment activities, such as puzzle feeders or training sessions, to keep their minds engaged. Evenings are typically quieter, with a final feeding and potty break before a relaxing wind-down. My weekly routine involves a bit more planning. I coordinate with pet owners to schedule walks, check-ins, or overnight stays. I also use this time to restock on supplies and keep detailed records of each pet's behavior, eating habits, and health. If a pet is in my care for an extended period, I might schedule a grooming appointment to ensure they're in top shape. My schedule is built around the needs of the pet, ensuring they receive consistent, loving care and that their owners have peace of mind. Caring for pets, whether on my own or a client's, requires a responsible and attentive approach to ensure their well-being. A fundamental aspect is providing a consistent routine, including scheduled feeding times with high-quality, species-appropriate food and fresh water that is always accessible. Regular exercise is crucial for both physical and mental health; this can range from daily walks for dogs to interactive playtime. Environmental enrichment, such as toys, scratching posts, and comfortable bedding, helps prevent boredom and destructive behaviors. It's also vital to maintain a clean and safe living space by regularly cleaning food and water bowls, litter boxes, and bedding. Beyond daily care, a thorough pet care plan includes regular grooming, such as brushing and nail trims, and staying up-to-date on veterinary care, including vaccinations and preventative treatments for fleas, ticks, and worms. For client homes, clear communication is paramount. It is important for me to obtain detailed instructions regarding the pet's specific needs, routines, medications, and any behavioral quirks, as well as emergency contact information. This holistic approach, combining routine care with attention to individual needs and a focus on safety and hygiene, ensures a happy and healthy life for any pet under my care.

“Mikayla was wonderful with my 2 dogs! She watched them for a few days while we were out of town. It was our first time using someone other than family to watch our dogs. She communicated with me daily, providing updates, photos and videos. She had no problem feeding them their raw food diet and was careful with my 7 yr old frenchie who has a few food allergies. She even made sure my 11 month old cane corso had a chance to run around the yard and get out all her puppy energy.”
“Can't say enough about these wonderful people who welcomed our fur-baby into their home. Bernie instantly took to Kirsten and her very host savvy pups. So fortunate to have found them and so close to where we live. Kirsten kept me up to date on Bernie's activities and sent photos of our very happy pup. He had a blast running in their fenced in yard and there were comfy places to get some rest. Bernie is excited to head back to Camp K in May and spend a week with his new buddies!! We are comforted knowing he will be so loved and cared for. We highly recommend Kirsten and Mark!”
“Geoffery was the best sitter we have ever experienced. We were scared our boy wouldn’t want to come home from all the tender love and care, walks and attention he received daily! He watched our high energy, escape artist husky and not once did we have to worry. So grateful and definitely rebooking.”
“If you are looking for an exceptional dog-sitter, look no further than Rutha K. She provided our Cavapoo, Tori, with excellent care and my wife and I were very confident in leaving Tori with her for the few days we were away. We will definitely utilize her services again!”
“Jenny is super easy to communicate with and flexible! She’s very friendly and I felt my dog was very safe with her. We actually needed to cancel our booking so Daisy only spent a few hours with her but she had already sent us a photo! I will definitely be booking with Jenny in the future.”
“Gil was an absolutely wonderful dog sitter. Our gigantic and sometimes nervous dog, Stella, was very well cared for and Gil sent lots of pictures of their lovely walks together. Gil met with us in advance so he could start to get to know Stella; he is obviously a caring and gentle person and she got lots of love while she was with him.”
“I found a Blue Ribbon dog sitter in Nicole! She takes my dog Poppy to her house and is very punctual in drop off and return. She says her kids love having Poppy stay with them. I feel absolutely free from any worry and Poppy loves to see me again upon return.”
“Katie has been amazing on keeping me up to date on how my puppers was doing/adjusting. She sent photos for a few updates as well!! We will be back again and I know Maple is already excited to get back there!”
About: I’ve took care of dogs of all kinds ever since I could remember, cats too! I’ve helped many many liter of puppies and raised them! I also worked at Paws and Claws which is a doggy daycare and boarding! I can very well sense personality and what they need! I treat them like members of a family and never let them go without care. I’m currently going to college and looking for a part time job, but will always make time for your furry friend, and would be willing to move things around! I currently have a dog who loves to play and a husky who is full of energy! And two cats who are just cuddle bugs, we have a park near by so we can go play, and I can easily crate your dog if needed and have plenty plenty of toys!
About: I am a Licensed Veterinary Technician and have been licensed and in practice for over 10 years now. I am able to administer medications at home. I love all animals and am willing to give your pets the best care while you are away! I have 10+ years working with all different kinds of animals in many different settings. I have 2 dogs and 3 cats of my own. I will come to your house multiple times a day while dog/cat sitting. Unfortunately I am unable to provide overnight services at this time. I am also available to stop daily if you're going to be late from work or have a meeting. If you have any questions please ask! I am willing to work with any schedule! I am able to come 3 times daily during the week and 4 times on weekends. This is working around my full time job at the veterinary clinic. I leash walk all animals to ensure their safety unless there is a fenced in back yard. Very cautious as I am with my own pets!
“Cassandra was amazing with my Sophia who is an older dog with a few senior issues. We were kept in the loop every day on how she was adjusting to her new sitter ( including pictures) and that made me feel confident we made a great choice. I would hope Cassandra will agree to watch Sophia again when she needs boarding. Anne”
