“Angi was wonderful with my 11 month old puppy Ginger who has some separation anxiety. Angi was very calm with her and she was kind enough to email me that Ginger was not barking non-stop while I was away from her. I could tell when I picked up Ginger that she had had a wonderful day at Angi’s. The fenced backyard was great. Angi was just so nice!. Hope to be able to use her services again very soon.”
“Karizma took care female husky, she has experience it’s huskies so when Sila seemed to be a bit anxious she communicated with me and we were able to see how Sila can be more comfortable during her stay. I appreciate the communication and care she demonstrated during sila’s stay.”
“Amanda was a godsend for boarding our three dogs while we were away for five days. We were anxious since it was our dogs’ first time being boarded. The pups didn’t exactly make a great first impression—let’s just say they had some settling in missteps in the first 10 minutes that had us cringing. But Amanda was amazing, brushing it off with a smile and total confidence. She knows her stuff, having worked with veterinary’s practice, and made us feel quite comfortable leaving our pups with her. She sent us daily texts and pics, which was a relief. The dogs clearly loved her, and by the time we picked them up, they were chill, happy, and obviously well-fed and exercised. We’re already looking forward to booking Amanda again.”
“This is the first time I've left Luna in a place where I feel completely at ease and confident. I can't express enough gratitude for this experience. It allowed me to take care of some family matters, knowing that my little girl was in excellent hands.”
“Lauren did a great job caring for my dog Stella! She was able to accommodate a last minute boarding request and sent daily pictures/updates. Stella came home happy and well taken care of.”
“Our Arlo loved spending Christmas with Auntie Amanda and her family! Amanda provided a perfect home away from home experience for our boy. At her house he had other doggy friends to play with, lots of toys, cuddles, and exercise. She even took excellent care of him with his medication and feeding schedule. Thank you so much Amanda!”
About: Taking care of pets has always been part of my life. I have a fenced in yard for dogs to run and play. As for walks, I have to active kids who are always willing to take a walk around. I currently work at the local school just minutes from my home. I come home middle of the day. I am home during the summer and on weekends. I have a fenced in yard and one dog who is a big baby. Dogs are allowed to lay wherever they are comfortable but can also crate if they are used to that.
“Tucker was very happy with Bill &Emma . Wasn't to excited to see me when I picked him up . They sent lots of videos and pics of Tucker's stay with them. Will definitely use them again ,very pleased with the care they gave Tucker.”
About: I've taken care of pets since I was a child-- growing up with a large breed and small dog and two cats-- I've always loved animals. I have a large breed dog named Chewbacca and an adult indoor cat named Chase. Both are friendly with other animals, easy going, and playful. I work from home most days so I'm very available! I'm here in my house and I'm happy to offer lots of love, comfort, cuddles, and address any special dietary or medical needs when your pet stays with me! My older large dog is very sweet and sleeps most of the day, but he enjoys playing with other dogs and otherwise is great with cats and any other animals he encounters! I have a large fenced yard on just over an acre outside of Ithaca. Dogs can run and are very happy here when visiting! I am happy to supervise any bathroom breaks or keep your pet on a leash if you prefer them not running the large yard-- whatever feels most comfortable! I will follow your care instructions precisely to ensure your pet gets the love and attention needed.

“Valkyrie enjoyed her time, Mika didn't have to take the garbage of cat litter out to the trashcan and she went above and beyond. Will be using her again when I go out of town for long times!!”
About: I have always gone to great lengths to ensure that my cats have the best life possible. From cleaning their litter boxes twice a day, to making sure they are receiving healthy stimulation throughout the day. I plan to do the same with any feline friend that I am fortunate enough to spend time with.
About: I love all kinds of cats and all different personalities. I am experienced in feeding, litter cleaning, and grooming cats. It may sound strange but I also am experienced in cat walking.
“Staci took very good care of my two cats. We had her do two visits a day and she was very prompt and you could almost set your watch by her. She followed the feed and care instructions to the letter and even went above and beyond to make sure Oliver, who has CKD, was comfortable. I would recommend Staci if you're looking for a good reliable pet sitter.”
“Jessica was great with my dog and my cat! I received video and photos during her visits. It appears she followed what I had laid out plan wise for them. I know some are a bit over the top like leaving on Pandora but she did as I asked, which I appreciate so very much. This was the first time I had someone that wasn't family watch my animals and I was anxious, but she did a great job. Thank you so much!”
About: **Animal Magnetic** Growing up with cats and dogs, caring for them became second nature to me. I also had the pleasure of dog-sitting for my sister while she worked as a long-haul truck driver, ensuring her furry friend received all the love and attention needed. Additionally, I took on the responsibility of pet sitting for my mother when she visited family and friends, showcasing my trustworthiness and capability. Moreover, I successfully kept a goldfish alive for over five years, demonstrating my dedication to the well-being of pets of all kinds. I am actively working with Instacart and DoorDash, which allows me the flexibility to manage my schedule. This freedom enhances my productivity and work-life balance, allowing me to take care of pets and family. I currently can’t have pets where I live, but I absolutely love visiting my mom, who has a spacious yard in the country. During my visits, I take her dog on long walks along the backcountry roads, allowing her to bark at wildlife from a safe distance. I also take charge of grooming and ensure the dog gets to veterinary appointments, making it easy for my mom to manage her responsibilities.
About: I’ve had cats since I can ever remember, and i’ve always been obsessed with them. I also worked with cats at my previous job. I’ve learned the connection between a human and a cat. I’ve learned how to make them feel comfortable for the most part, how to be their friend, how to be close, and more. I will treat your babies like they’re my own, and my own babies normal spoiled!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all age and sizes since I was a child. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to do anything their pet needs while they’re away. In the future I’m looking to take a dog training course and slow transition into that as a full time job. Every morning I wake up and immediately tend to the dogs and let them outside to use the bathroom and play around, then we come Inside to eat breakfast to start the day. We go outside about 3x daily to potty and play. I have a big privacy fenced in yard for play time. I have 4 dogs of my own. However I typically do not let them converse with my boarding dogs unless known that they are friendly.

“Molly immediately connected with Jessica and Matthew at the Meet and Greet. They sent pictures every day and Molly had a great time during Doggie Daycare! No worries with them. I will definitely use their services again.”
“Thank you Alexandria for hosting Charlie while my husband underwent a surgical procedure this week. It was such a relief not to worry about Charlie, that he would be let outside for bathroom breaks and cared for while we were at the hospital. We sure appreciate that fine care you give him and how you work with our erratic schedule! Nancy”
“Amanda was great! Winter was crazy and happy as usual when I picked her up from daycare with Amanda so it looked like she had a good time there and was a tired girl on the way home.”
About: Experienced in overnight and back-and-forth pet sitting. Can care for puppies to seniors at any hour of the day and night. I am not grossed out by any mess your pet may make and will keep the space clean. Normally work 7-noon 3 days a week. My job is very flexible and could change to suite you and your pets needs! I am very quick with responding if you would need me last minute. My pets that I've had in my home get fed at the same time every day. They are also allowed to go out when they want and get their paws cleaned when they come in. Water is always available to them. You can expect me to do the same with your animals unless told other instructions.
“We appreciated Angi,working with us to fit Dakota into her schedule. We needed a few hours free to hike Watkins Glenn. We also needed Dakota to be able to be in a fenced yard which she can provide. Dakota was well taken care, happy and calm upon our return.”

About: I actively foster dogs/puppies on a consistent basis for several years. I've worked with the same Animal Rescue for a long period of time and have experience with many different situations. With the Rescue I regularly handle different scenarios and medical needs, from new born pups to seniors! I'm comfortable with all shapes, sizes, and medical history. Most temperaments I have lots of experience with as well. I work from home full-time. I'm home all day every day Monday-Friday. My weekends only consist of a few errands making me gone for no longer than 4-5 hours at a time. I have a 7ft tall, fully fenced, back yard. I can kennel a dog if needed, but generally they would be out hanging with me. No dog will be left unattended, inside or outside, for long periods of time. I have two adult dogs in the home that can be introduced or remain separate if needed. I also have a 6yr old in the home that loves and is respectful of all animals.

“Angela was totally amazing. This was my first time trusting anyone other than family with my babies and Angela made it so easy. She communicated with me daily sending pictures and updates and my dogs loved her. I will definitely be asking her to come again in the future.”
“Kelli took great care of my pups! She really cares about what they like and what you might be working on with them. She definitely was a big help to me and with text and picture updates my mind was at ease!”
About: Hi there! My name is Sarah, and I have been an avid animal lover my whole life. I even made a career of it as a wildlife biologist!

I am currently available most days and weekends as needed from 7:00 am to 10:00 pm. My schedule is very adaptable the next few months. I am happy to follow any pet care instructions you have for me. If possible, I would like to meet with you and your pet(s) before petsitting/walks so I can make sure I am meeting your pet care needs, and I can get to know your pet(s). For in-home visits, I show the utmost care in respecting your home. My focus is to make sure your pet(s) are happy amd healthy!
About: I helped care for family dogs and cats since I was about five years old, feeding, giving water, walking and cleaning up after them until I was 18. I have boarded two dogs for a friend and provided drop-in visits for a former neighbor for about a year after that and worked at a pet hotel from '17-'19 in which time I got a dog training certification. I have some experience taking care of mice and hamsters and would like to learn how to care for rats and snakes. I'm currently looking for part-time work and would be more than happy to provide the love and care that your fur babies require in your absence. I'm also a newer driver and could really use the experience. Afternoons and evenings work best but please don't be shy about asking for morning services. Depending on the service and your pet's needs, I will spend as much time as they need whether it be a brief or long walk, cuddling on the couch, etc. I will be working part-time starting April 14, 2024. I will have a schedule ready sometime afterwards. Hopefully it will be in the next few weeks. I will keep your pet indoors for the most part, depending on the pet. I prefer to keep dogs on a leash when they go out for walks and to potty unless there is a fenced in yard.
About: I’ve pet sat for family members but I’ve also and still currently pet sit for previous teachers. I’ve done an internship at a vet clinic. I completed boces which made me a certified veterinary assistant. I worked at the SPCA while finishing up college. Volunteered at Tanglewood Nature Center. Depending on my work schedule I spend as much time as possible outside of work with your pets. I don’t leave them alone for long at all. I’m easy going, my dog gets crated when I’m not home. I will make sure nothing is sitting out that could potentially harm an animal
“Cate did a great job helping take care of my pup while I was out of town. She was on time for my dogs walks, and I always got pics and a written description of what happened on the walk which was very reassuring. I will definitely continue using Cate for dog walking!”

“This was my first time using Rover (and the first time having anyone outside of family care for my puppy), and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! I have a young Doberman with a lot of energy, and Arya was patient, calm, and firm in just the right way—which is exactly what she needs. He took her on a nice long walk, and I really appreciated the videos he sent along the way. They gave me peace of mind and made the whole process so much less stressful. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for someone reliable and confident with energetic dogs!”
