“I recently boarded my dog, Wolfie, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. He was walked every day, and it was clear he had a fantastic time. The picture updates were a wonderful touch; they showed just how happy he was. Jayden and his family who took care of Wolfie was truly wonderful, providing exceptional service and demonstrating a high level of professionalism. The quality of care was excellent, and the price was very affordable for the outstanding service received. Overall, I highly recommend this dog boarding service. Wolfie had a great time, and I appreciate the peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands.”
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!

“Breanna was top notch in taking care of our critter babies! They clearly loved her visits (proof by great pics!) and communication could not have been better. We hope she is available next time we have to go away- Breanne gave us total security in knowing our pets were taken care of in a loving way.”
“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.”
“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 👏”
“Megan F. Took such good care of my cat, Luna. She sent pictures every day and commented on Luna’s well being. My cat doesn’t care much for strangers but would get in Megan’s lap from time to time. I definitely recommend her services.”
“Absolutely amazing! Our really shy cat absolutely loved her! I will definitely be rebooking with her next time we go out of town, 10/10 would highly recommend! ❤️”
“Emily was an excellent caretaker for our two cats over a long weekend. Amani and Saber warmed up very quickly to her and enjoyed their playtime and pets. Emily always provided updates, twice a day to include photos. Our cats were in great hands which put our minds at ease.”
“Rachel is wonderful taking care about our cats, she is great with them and also leaving the cat litter box area clean. Desmond and Bolica are super happy to get she as cat sitter, we have repeated with her and we continue to do it.”
“Stephanie was beyond amazing -- every day she was on-time or early, spent tons of time loving my kitties, and went out of her way to clean even when not asked to so that when we came home from a long trip, it wouldn't be stressful. Will be rebooking with her asap, she made traveling so easy for us.”
“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.”
“Abbey did an excellent job taking care of my two cats during my 9-day trip. She communicated with me every day she visited, providing updates, photos, and detailed descriptions of how each visit went, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. One thing that really stood out was her patience with my very shy calico cat. By the end of the stay, my calico had come out of her shell enough to let Abbey pet her, which is something I never expected. I highly recommend Abbey to anyone looking for a reliable, caring pet sitter. I wouldn't hesitate to book her again in the future.”
About: I've had cats for over 15 years and currently share my home with three cats of my own. Caring for cats is part of my everyday life, and I understand that each one has their own personality, preferences, and routines. I'm comfortable with feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, and giving lots of attention (or respecting their space if that's what they prefer). I'll treat your cats like family and make sure you have peace of mind while you're away.
“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!”
“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.”

“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: Dogs are my favorite friends. I take care of them just like they are mine. i love giving them cuddles, kisses and yummy cold treats. Your loved ones will have the best time when they are with me. Frequent walking, playtime, and safety are my top priority when taking care of them. Of course, cuddles, food and comfy blankets/beds too! I enjoy training dogs with any kind of cool tricks. I’m currently working at home. I usually walk 3x during the day. Early morning, mid day and evening. Your furry friends will join me on my walks and have 30 mins individual play time x 2 during the day and before bed time. I have a fenced yard and a small friendly dog that will keep your dog active at all times. Water will always be filled up for them to sip on. Sunroom to keep them comfortable at all times when weather permits. When the weather gets too hot/cold, your furry bestie are going to warm up/cool off/play/rest in the basement. they are free to roam inside the house.
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.
About: Welcome to our cozy pet boarding service! We provide a safe and loving environment for your furry friends while you're away. With multiple cats of our own, we understand the unique needs of feline companions. Our spacious and comfortable accommodations ensure that your pets feel right at home. We offer personalized care, playtime, and plenty of cuddles to keep them happy and entertained. Trust us to treat your pets like family! I have a job where I can pick my own hours and work for myself so I can watch pets anytime and be there for them whenever I need. I take very good care of pets in my home. I treat them as if they are my own. They have a large space to explore and run around in. Although I do not have a fenced in yard, I have absolutely no problem taking them out on a leash to go potty or even a park.
“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.”
“Emily was awesome to deal with. Very friendly, great communication and flexible with time. My dog really enjoyed his time with her and will be going back next time we’re in town!”
“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: 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.

I have a flexible schedule and am available for drop-in visits throughout the day, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I can work around your pet’s routine to keep things consistent and stress-free. I’m available on weekends and can often accommodate last-minute requests. I care for pets in their own home where they feel most comfortable and secure. I also have a fenced-in yard for safe, supervised outdoor time if needed for dogs. During each visit, I make sure food and water are fresh, litter boxes or potty breaks are handled, and your pet gets attention based on their personality. I follow all care instructions closely, keep your home secure, and provide regular updates so you can feel confident while you’re away.

“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.”
“Tucker loved Megan. She was very flexible on walk times working around weather developments. I will be using her in the future when I have my knee surgery. Thats one less thing to worry about.”
“Abbi is amazing. My dog is afraid of everyone, but she loves Abbi. Abbi is such a sweet, warm person and a joy to have as our dog walker. She has even stayed at our house several time and has made me feel so comfortable that I did not even worry about leaving.”

“I was in a crunch to find a walker when I first brought my dog home, and Anne came to the rescue! She has been wonderful to work with. Great communication, reliable, and clearly a true dog lover. I look forward to getting happy pics from their walks together. Would recommend to Anne to anyone!”
About: I have had dogs my whole life! People have called me an “animal lover” since I was very young. Sometimes, spending time with animals is more enjoyable to me than spending time with people.

“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.”
“I recently boarded my dog, Wolfie, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. He was walked every day, and it was clear he had a fantastic time. The picture updates were a wonderful touch; they showed just how happy he was. Jayden and his family who took care of Wolfie was truly wonderful, providing exceptional service and demonstrating a high level of professionalism. The quality of care was excellent, and the price was very affordable for the outstanding service received. Overall, I highly recommend this dog boarding service. Wolfie had a great time, and I appreciate the peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands.”
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!
“Paige did a wonderful job taking care of my fur baby. Sent me pictures daily of my baby, took him for walks, loved on him. I couldn't have been more pleased. Chris O”
“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.”
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.
“They were awesome! My pup, on the other hand, was not, and they still were able to help and accommodate me while I was out of town. Shout to the neighbor as well!! Thank you both again”
“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.”
“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.”
“Auggie always has such a wonderful time staying with Beth. He loves his time with her and the other dogs so much, it’s like he gets his own vacation while we are away. Her communication is excellent and she always sends the best pictures and updates! I know he is always in good hands with Beth, which is why she is our go to sitter and I would recommend her 💯”
