About: Hi! I’m Lily, and caring for animals is genuinely one of my favorite things in life. I’ve had pets my whole life and have also worked at a doggy daycare, so I’m very comfortable handling dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I own dogs myself—they’re very docile and love having friends—so I understand how important it is to find someone you fully trust with your pets. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, including anxious pups and dogs with special needs. One of my dogs is deaf and responds to sign, so I’m especially patient, attentive, and tuned in to nonverbal communication. Whether your pet needs high-energy playtime, structured walks, or just a calm and comforting presence, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I’ll treat them like they’re my own—lots of love, attention, and updates so you never have to wonder how they’re doing. I’m reliable, communicative, and genuinely excited to meet your pets. I can’t wait to give them the care they deserve! I do work 730-330 M-F but my partner (Jeremy) is home by 2:30 PM every day, and we’re both home in the evenings, so your pet will have plenty of supervision, attention, and company. We make sure pets are never left alone for long periods and always prioritize their comfort and routine. I’m happy to work with your pet’s specific schedule and needs—just let me know what works best for them! Your pet’s safety is my top priority. We have a fully fenced-in backyard with turf, providing a clean and secure space for safe outdoor play and bathroom breaks. Inside, our home is pet-proofed to prevent access to anything unsafe, and we always supervise interactions to ensure a calm and controlled environment. I’m attentive to each dog’s behavior and needs, and I take introductions slowly to make sure everyone feels comfortable. You can trust that your pet will be in a safe, secure, and well-managed environment at all times.

“Hannah was wonderful with our kitty while we were away, Thomas really enjoyed her company which isn't always a given, and I appreciated the extra care when a painting fell and by taking care of our fish tanks too! Top notch sitter and will absolutely book again in the future.”
“We had a wonderful experience with our cat sitter Paige! From the moment we met him, it was clear how much he genuinely loves animals. He took excellent care of both of our cats, including one who requires insulin injections twice a day, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. He was communicative, thoughtful, and incredibly kind, keeping us updated and making sure our cats were happy and well cared for. We came home to two relaxed, well-loved kitties. We were so happy with the experience that we’ve already booked him again. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, caring pet sitter!”
“Autumn once again took fantastic care of both our cat and our home while we were away for a week! I highly recommend her if you are in search of someone to trust with your pets!”
“Abbi did a really great job with our cats. We had never used a pet sitter before and were really nervous about it, but she kept us informed and was available for off time contacts. We will definitely use her again.”
“Patrick took great care of my kitty. Very reliable and even took the time to look after the little things so the house was in good shape upon my return. Thank you, Patrick!”
“Allan did a great job taking care of my cats! I got pics every day, he played with them, and generally put my mind at ease while I was on vacation! I would recommend him!”
“Highly recommend Kayla! I have a 19 week puppy full of energy and Kayla surely gets all his energy out like requested. She doesn’t just let him out to go potty and sits around. She actually plays with him and makes sure he’s running around and spending all his puppy energy. I’m very happy with her services!!!! Used her twice already and will be rebooking for sure.”
“Taylor was amazing. She knows cats and took great care of Piper. She went above and beyond any expectation I had. I hope she is always available when we need her. 10 ☆'s!!!”

“Qianna is awesome when it comes to caring for the pets. I left my 3 cats under her care and I didn't believe my eyes when I came back. My cats were healthy , I could tell they added weight and the environment was well maintained. She went an extra mile to buy food for my cats since she could not reach me by phone. I recommend her over for excellent work. She is passionate about her job, very loving and she knows her job. Thanks Qianna for excellent work 👏”

“It was the first time we’d left our little one with a dog sitter, and we were a little worried because ever since we adopted her, she’s always been very shy and tends to be afraid of strangers, but Jenifer was amazing with Hazel. She was extremely friendly and kept us updated on our little ball of fur, making her feel like she was part of a second family. My husband and I are very happy—we’ll definitely be back.”
About: My sister and I moved back to our home town and moved in together (along with my 10 year old niece and my 2 year old daughter). Both of us have had pets all our lives, including owning dogs from as small as 20 pounds to as large as 120 pounds. My doggie Odie stayed with my ex in California and our current family recently and unexpectedly lost my sister’s mini-Poochon, Cosmo. We recently adopted a Labradoodle! Grover is super sweet and loves to have playmates but also understands how to give other dogs space. My 2 year old loves all animals and understands how to give dogs space and to read physical cues (lip curl, growl), but unfortunately, we can’t dog sit or board any dogs that aren’t okay with small children. We are okay with dogs that need some extra care (meds, help going outside to potty, etc.). We have a large fenced yard and we welcome pups in all parts of our house. Thanks! I work from home, my sister watches my two year old in the house, and my 10 year old niece does online school so lots of options for care and cuddles. My parents are also just a few minutes away if we ever need back up! We have a large fenced yard and can do walks as needed (although with some limits when the weather is super cold). We welcome pups in all parts of our house including bedrooms on the second or first floor if pups have a hard time with stairs.
“Celene is legitimately the best dog sitter you could ask for. She not only is an early riser but is a night owl. Celene sends updates and ask questions without even being asked. She not only puts effort in towards jaxsons training she has even went out of her way to teach us on how we could be doing different/better. Celene also makes sure that jaxson gets the proper food/water/bathroom breaks as he needs. He doesn't come back hungry, needing to potty, or beat up. Penny, celenes dog, is hands down the cutest little thing I've ever seen. When I get there she is happy to greet me at the door with kisses and tail wags. Jaxson also loves penny and always comes back PROPERLY wore out. My final thoughts are if I could had another grandma I would ask her. Shes been there for us EVERY time we've need her and that's at the end of the day all I could ask.”
“I felt so comfortable being out of town even though I missed my baby❤️.She updated me everyday how Diamond was doing,sent pictures.I would really recommend her to keep your pet very good with animals.I will be taking Diamond back if I have to go out of town again.”

“He did a phenomenal job! I booked last minute and he was very accommodating. He brought Dakota into his home with Kya and Roo, and made him feel very welcome.”
“If you’re looking for someone in the Fort Drum area, you found her. Maddie is very quick to get ahold of, and is beyond flexible. I was delayed one night to pick up Eva from daycare and Maddie was quick to offer to let her stay the night, that helped very much. Also, Eva was so relaxed there, she really wasn’t in a hurry to leave; which never happens.”

About: I care for dogs by keeping them on a consistent routine and paying close attention to their individual needs.

Follow him on IG: GrimMboy_pdC I work Monday through Friday from 9 AM to 5 PM, and my job is only about 15 minutes from my apartment, so I can return home quickly if needed. My spouse works from home, so pets in my care are supervised 24/7. I’m an Active Guard/Reserve service member and typically work one weekend per month — I plan all pet care commitments around that schedule. I’m up daily at 4:30 AM and keep a very structured routine, so feeding times, walks, potty breaks, and exercise schedules are followed consistently. I also have a home camera system to monitor pets throughout the day. On most weekends, I spend the day out and active with my own dog, so pets in my care get plenty of attention and exercise. You may notice my rates are on the lower end. that’s by design! I keep my prices affordable and let my work speak for itself. If you feel I went above and beyond, a tip is how I know I nailed it. No pressure at all, but it means the world when people show their appreciation that way. I’m committed to giving your pet the best care possible regardless!

I keep the home clean, remove hazards, and maintain fresh water and feeding areas daily. I follow all owner instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, and behavior guidelines. I also use a home camera system to monitor pets when I step out. While I don’t normally crate dogs, I can crate your pet if needed or if that is your preference.

Spending time and taking care of and playing with animals is pure bliss to me. It is an honor to know them and love them. I basically give them all my time and energy. I dont usually spend more than 4 hours away bc i dont want them to be lonely. I will do the same with your babies.
“Qianna was a vacation-saver. Our original dog-walker had transportation and communication issues so we had to cancel with her. We found Qianna mid-afternoon and she was willing to come over that evening to meet us and then take over the next 8 days of dog-walking. She was quick to respond, pleasant, dependable and a very motivated young woman. She did a great job with Reno & his quirks. A many-star rating from us.”

About: Hi! I’m Lily, and caring for animals is genuinely one of my favorite things in life. I’ve had pets my whole life and have also worked at a doggy daycare, so I’m very comfortable handling dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I own dogs myself—they’re very docile and love having friends—so I understand how important it is to find someone you fully trust with your pets. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, including anxious pups and dogs with special needs. One of my dogs is deaf and responds to sign, so I’m especially patient, attentive, and tuned in to nonverbal communication. Whether your pet needs high-energy playtime, structured walks, or just a calm and comforting presence, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I’ll treat them like they’re my own—lots of love, attention, and updates so you never have to wonder how they’re doing. I’m reliable, communicative, and genuinely excited to meet your pets. I can’t wait to give them the care they deserve! I do work 730-330 M-F but my partner (Jeremy) is home by 2:30 PM every day, and we’re both home in the evenings, so your pet will have plenty of supervision, attention, and company. We make sure pets are never left alone for long periods and always prioritize their comfort and routine. I’m happy to work with your pet’s specific schedule and needs—just let me know what works best for them! Your pet’s safety is my top priority. We have a fully fenced-in backyard with turf, providing a clean and secure space for safe outdoor play and bathroom breaks. Inside, our home is pet-proofed to prevent access to anything unsafe, and we always supervise interactions to ensure a calm and controlled environment. I’m attentive to each dog’s behavior and needs, and I take introductions slowly to make sure everyone feels comfortable. You can trust that your pet will be in a safe, secure, and well-managed environment at all times.
“Cindy was great. She helped us out when we needed someone quick. Sam seemed like he had a wonderful time with Cindy! Sent updates as to how he was doing thoughout the night. Definitely will have Cindy watch Sam again if needed.”
“Barb and her family went above and beyond to make sure my pup felt at home, and she sent daily photo updates. Communication was excellent and timely. I will definitely be requesting Barb again next time we leave town.”
About: I provide personalized pet care for dogs and cats of all ages — from high-energy pups who need plenty of walks and playtime to senior pets who appreciate slow strolls and calm companionship. My services include drop-in visits, walks, and overnight boarding, each tailored to your pet’s unique needs, habits, and comfort level. I believe great pet care is built on trust- which means reliable communication, prompt updates, and lots of adorable photos. You’ll always know how your pet is doing while you’re away! I’m known for being responsive and detail oriented, with a strong reputation for consistent five star experiences. ⭐ Senior pets hold a special place in my heart, but I truly love them all- from first wags to grey muzzles. I understand how hard it can be to leave your pets, so I care for them as if they were my own. Whether you need daily walks, weekend boarding, or gentle senior support, I’ll make sure your pet’s tail (or purr) tells you how loved they are when you return. 🐾 Pet care is my full time focus. My flexible schedule means I can offer consistent walks, drop ins, and overnight stays. I’m typically most available Sunday through Wednesday, but I’m happy to adjust if your travel or work week shifts. Reliability and adaptability are my top priorities! I have extensive experience with dogs who require medication, rescues who need patience, and even cats with unique routines (I’ve even trained a few to do tricks!). My home is also pet-friendly, safe, and full of positive energy. Pets in my care get attention, enrichment, and affection- never just supervision!

“Im so glad i found maddie! She was so accomodating and enthusiastic about watching our dog for a couple days. She had no trouble handling my dog, even though he struggles with anxiety and food aggression. She gave candor all the attention he needed, and he came home a very happy dog.”
“Nicole was amazing. We booked last minute and had a wonderful meet and greet. She made us feel so much more comfortable while on our 7 day vacation by sending us daily updates and pictures and even celebrated our Nova’s 2nd birthday. We will be forever grateful to have found Nicole and we will definitely book for future trips.”
