“Saskia took excellent care of Ripley, and even got the stinger out of her foot when she was stung by a bee! Ripley was super comfortable with her, and had a great time!”
“Sheila was awesome sitting our Bee (Poodle) for a full week!! We received daily updates on Bee from Sheila, which made the separation easier, as we never had left Bee for greater than a few hours. Highly recommended Sheila!!”
“She was absolutely amazing, and I couldn't have asked for a better pet sitter! Our plans unexpectedly fell through, and she was able to take my dog on such short notice, which was a huge relief. My dog is very anxious and timid around new people, but she was incredibly patient, kind, and understanding with him, making sure he felt safe and comfortable throughout his stay. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was being so well cared for. I truly appreciate all the love and attention she gave him, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and trustworthy pet sitter. Thank you again for taking such wonderful care of my boy!”
“Amanda & Lee we're absolutely fantastic with our girl. They were able to come through for us in a tough spot and watch her for the weekend. Daisy was able to frolic and do all her dog things in their yard and she made new friends too. Would highly recommend them the next time you need to board your pup!”

“Wonderful care from Justin who watched our cat, Aspen. He’s dependable, kind, and cares so much for the fur babies under his watch! Highly recommend. Thank you, Justin!”
“Very professional, and willing to work with schedule changes. Most importantly she took very good care of my newfoundland and cat while I was out of town over the weekend. Anyone on fort drum needing a pet sitter should consider booking her.”
“Jillian was incredible. Absolutely stellar in remembering all the directions I rambled through and left great notes/pictures for me after each visit. Jillian is so friendly, Houdini and I both LOVED her!! Highly recommend, will be using Jillian’s services for the foreseeable future. Thank you!!”
“Jackie was great! She took great care of my little Louise while I was gone. Jackie kept me updated during her visits and sent me lots of picture of my girl. Will definitely be using her again!”
“Amanda was very communicative and hands on. I appreciated the time she spent attending to my cats and making sure I was at ease and in loop. Even my most introverted cat came out for her so I know she brought a good energy into my home. She also went above and beyond tidying up house items my cats knocked around.”
“You could not ask for a better person to take care of your pets while you are away! We hope that Eliza is available when we are ready to travel. It takes a huge burden off of us to know that they are in good hands!”
“Julia did a wonderful job! I was afraid that my cat would lose weight while we were gone. Instead, he gained weight. He seemed very calm and content when we returned. She did everything that was asked of her and left everything neat and clean. I, highly, recommend her.”
“Alekzandra was awesome! We were able to fully enjoy our vacation thanks to her regular updates and pictures of our very happy cats. Great communication and follow-up, recommended sitter. 🐈🐈⬛”
About: Hi, I’m Michaela! Animals have been at the center of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up on a farm, so caring for animals has always been second nature to me. From dogs and cats to horses, goats, and other livestock, I’ve spent my whole life learning how to handle animals of all sizes with confidence and care. Professionally, I’ve built my career around animal care: • I currently work as a Client Care Specialist at Countryside Veterinary Clinic, where I interact daily with pets and their families, gaining valuable insight into health, behavior, and comfort needs. • I previously worked at the Lewis County Humane Society, where I cared for shelter animals, helped match pets with families, and supported the team with everything from feeding and cleaning to hands-on enrichment and socialization. • I also run my own small business, Kales Kritters, offering grooming, boarding, and in-home care for dogs and cats of all temperaments and needs. • Additionally, I founded A New Leash on Life, a local nonprofit that provides pet supplies, food, and resources to families in need. Between my farm upbringing, shelter work, and veterinary clinic role, I’ve had the privilege of caring for animals in every stage of life — from bottle babies to seniors — and I’m comfortable with special needs, medications, and unique temperaments. Whether it’s walks, drop-ins, overnights, or just giving your pet a little extra love while you’re away, I treat every animal like they’re my own.
“Dana did an excellent job caring for our cat while we were traveling. It was great to receive updates and pictures each day so we know that he was doing okay. Dana was easy to communicate with and kept us updated on anything going on and what our cat was up to on each of her visits. We will definitely be booking with Dana again!”
About: I have have had dogs all my life and cared for friends and family dogs while folks need to travel or run errands. All sizes and breeds welcome I work from home 8 am - 5-pm and with my children grown I have time to help others when they need dog sitting. I have two female Yorkies and a female Bernese Mountain Dog. All very friendly. I usually walk dogs twice per day and let them out side tied on a 20’ lead in my back yard as often as they want to go outside.
About: I have a 13 year old shitzu yorkie who has been with me since I was 9 and I trained him myself. I have a roomy place with lots of places for individual areas. I currently am taking a break from work and have plenty of time to care for your furry friend as needed! Full time availability and plants of room in my schedule for any hour care. I have a dog who can keep your furry friend company but have enough room to separate them if your dog or cat likes their own space!

“Oreo loved his stay, I dropped him off on both Saturday and Sunday for a few hours ! Each day , she responded immediately and let me bring him very short notice! She was amazing with him, she sent pictures during his stay ,i can tell he enjoyed the walks ( he’s used to walks in the city not country walks) she kept him on schedule and I loved to see him interact with the other dogs , the new environment , and the love and care Andrea effortlessly gave to Oreo. I will continue to book with her when I’m in the area. Thanks again 🫶🏾”

About: I have worked in the animal care industry since I was 14 years old. I grew up with my mother whom bred and showed various different breeds of dogs as well as we kept a small mixed livestock farm. I have worked as an equine manager, I have worked at TSC, and currently am employed at a veterinary clinic where I was originally working with boarders. My skills include basic training, basic grooming, administering preventatives and medication (including insulin), providing effective and safe restraint, and I have taken multiple educational courses on animal welfare, behavior, and stress-free approach to handling. I work full time, but only mid day so I am more than capable of doing morning and afternoon visits as well as mid day on the weekends. I take care of animals the same way I would want to be cared for: with patience, kindness and love but above all safely. Working at a veterinary clinic I have learned a great amount about safe animal care (including with reactive animals).
About: We have three dogs who are more spoiled than our children. We dont like people, but we love animals 🤣. We love walking and playing, and so do our pups! Our babies are spoiled rotten and we can't help it. Our pups have their own doggie pool that they can use any time in the summer. We have tons of toys and one of our favorite things to do is just be home with them and de stress. We sometimes go to the dog park or take walks on the Black River Trail, too! We care for our own fur babies every day, having extra in the house is just an added bonus. Our animals are loved all day long, and we promise to deliver the same to yours. We have a large fully fenced in yard in a rural area, so we have lots of room for running! Our pups go in and out as often as they want. We do allow pets on the furniture, always! ***FOR FULL TRANSPARENCY *** We do require all dogs who are boarding in our home to eat and sleep in a crate, as well as be in their crate if we need to leave the house for any reason. This is strictly for safety reasons to keep all dogs and our children safe. We understand that not everyone is a fan of crating their dog, and we would never do so without consent. This is non negotiable. If you feel strongly your dog does not require needed a crate please reach out to me and we can talk as I do make very rare exceptions. If your pup shows behavioral issues that make it difficult to maintain safety, such as biting or excessive aggressiveness, we will add on an extra charge to the booking. This is almost never an issue, and we are able to separate dogs as needed. When staying in our home, your pups safety is always our number one priority.

I have 20+ years of experience in animal care and would love to take care of your family members. I am currently a full time teacher looking to work with part time with your pet. I am currently able to do pet care in your home. At this time I am not able to take care of pets in our home. We are still working with the new rescue dog and getting him adapted to our home.
About: Hello! Animals have been my passion since I was a little girl. I have worked at a dog daycare for 3 years and now am currently working as a Tech at a Veterinary Clinic now going on for 5 years!

I would love to pet sit your furry friend and hopefully become a new best friend for them too! If you are military, I have base access as well! I am available weekdays and weekends.I would also be available to watch your pet at your home if needed ! I would love to chat about any days you may need and we can work out something :) I am available to help out with feeding, walking, giving medications and or just hanging out with your fur baby.

About: Hi, nice to meet you! Please call me Eliza. Firstly, thank you for considering me to take care of your fur-babies while you're away. Here's a little bit about me and my history with pet care. When I was little, I always knew I wanted to work with animals in some capacity. My journey with pet care began when I was 12 years old. One of my neighbors had a black lab puppy that they never let inside & never had company. One day, I walked up to their door, knocked & asked them to hire me to walk their dog everyday. I never looked back. Since then, friends, family, neighbors & strangers alike have entrusted me with all of their pet's needs. When considering booking with me, please keep in mind that I also work 35 hours a week, giving me plenty of time to pay attention to your pets. I do not have breed restrictions & am happy to work with any special needs or requirements your pet may have. FOR ALL NEW CLIENTS, I do require a meet & greet before booking to ensure that everyone (including your pet) is comfortable and to be able to ask/answer any questions we may have for each other. I've found this helps to ensure trust between all of us. Please be upfront with any triggers or quirks so I know exactly how to take care of your pet. *The meet & greet is a FREE service to ensure we're all a good fit for each other before the stay. For the time being, I do not offer boarding in my home. During my stay with your pets, I provide the utmost care & attention to your pet & their needs. My main priorities are making sure your pet is as safe & as comfortable as possible in an already anxious situation with their parents being away. Thank you so much for considering me to take care of your fur-babies while you're away.
