“Great communication and care! We were so lucky that Claudia was able to watch our cats and dog while we went out of the country. They took to her from the start. Definitely gave us peace of mind.”

“Maxine was wonderful! This was our first time having someone stay at home with Blue and she made us feel at ease! She gave us updates on Blue and took wonderful care of her!”

“Cate was so good with our people reactive pups :) she sent so many photos and updates and left our home in an exceptional condition!! I highly recommend her she is a very trustworthy and responsible sitter.”

“Elli did an awesome job watching my clingy goldendoodle! He typically doesn't do well.with new people so I had a couple meet and greats with Elli prior to us leaving for 12 days. Elli stayed at our home and I would definitely recommend her for anyone else that needs someone to take care of your fur baby.”


“Ray did an amazing job with our two very quirky furry family members. She put both of them at ease, and they weren’t at all stressed when we got home. In fact, they miss her now that we’re back!”

About: I have enjoyed dog walking/sitting for the past 12 years. I started in high school and instantly fell in love with it. I enjoy daily walks myself, but they are always more fun with a walking buddy I am in school and working part time. My schedule is open most afternoons and weekends. Since my schooling is fully online I have a somewhat flexible schedule. I have a big yard that is perfect for letting dogs run around and a middle-aged cat who loves making new friends, though he is perfectly happy to sleep in a dark corner if the friends are not so friendly.
“We are so glad we found such a nice place for our anxious old dog to stay when we have to go out of town. Hanna accommodated all of our dog's needs. We'll definitely use Hanna again.”

“Cristian has looked after Charlie twice and it’s been a great experience. Cris is a clear communicator, sends lots of photos, Charlie adores him. Cris has helped us out with a sort of last minute request. Highly recommend and hope to have Cris help us out in the future”

About: Ever since I was 10 years old and even younger I have been taking care of animals! From my own , to friends and families as well. Animals aren’t just pets, they are apart of our family! They make life better , I am passionate about making sure they are taken care of and in good hands at all times. I currently have animals of my own, and I take pride into making sure they know they’re loved, fed, and exercised every single day too. I will happily come and let your pets out, stay there and make sure they are fed and watered, let them play for awhile and/or give them a walk to get them out and about. If they would come to my house, I have a fenced part of the yard, 3 other sweet fur babies to help keep your pet company, and land to let them play around safely and get exercise in daily.

“Literally best sitter I have ever had! I reached out last minute to see if she could watch my two cats while I go away, she was quick to respond and to meet up. My cats were well loved and cared for and she is very personable. I am extremely happy with the care I received for my fur children and can’t wait to use her services the next time I go away.”

About: I’ve had pets my entire life, whether it be dogs, cats, or chickens. I’ve been the go-to sitter in my neighborhood for the past several years, providing boarding, overnight care, and potty breaks. I have experience dealing with all kinds of pets and am frequently called to sit for one dog that is unable to tolerate anyone but myself and his owners in his home. I strive to make every visit something your little family members look forward to as the highlight of their day. I am currently a full-time student commuting between my home and Ithaca college. With only a few classes per day and access to a car, I am available to check on your pets several times throughout the day and provide overnight care every weekday. I have experience caring for all types of pets overnight, whether they’re one for nighttime zoomies or nervous nightmares.
