“Meghan is GREAT! She has sat for us several times. She is reliable, communicates well and Kensi is well cared for. We always check her availability first! Meghan is so good she gives us peace of mind when we are away.”
“I would highly recommend Marissa and have already rebooked. She exceeded my expectations providing top notch care and attention to my lab. I was nervous to have someone caring for Rosie in my house but was quickly relieved. Knowing Marissa has big dogs I knew she could handle Rosie. Marissa came in advance so we could meet and meet Rosie. My two older dogs whom I share were there and fell in love with her instantly which made me feel more comfort and Rosie warmed up when she realized Marissa would play with her. While away Marissa provided updates, photos and videos and the smile on Rosie's face said it all. In addition she is a wonderful person and so glad to have met her.”
“Kylie was great with my pup. She was consistent with her care and communication while she stayed in our home for a week and watched our baby. I would definitely use her services in the future.”
About: I am great with animals, I'm also a big fan of animals in general. Many weekends you can find me at the zoo, and I know an unnecessary amount of animal fun facts. I grew up with a cat, dog, and my own tropical fish aquarium. I have plenty experience walking dogs, both my own, and dogs belonging to members of the community in NYC. I have a pampered pet cat, and know that they shouldn't be treated the same as dogs. Cats: - Experience with many cats - Cat sit for friends and family - Happy to clean litter boxes - Will bring cat toys - Understand that cats have complex emotions Dogs: - Used to tri-daily walking schedule - Happy to pick up poop - Listed as a trusted dog walker for BAIP - Know that dogs take time to trust people Other: - Won't overfeed fish - Just tell me how to care for your pet, and I'm on it As of right now, my schedule is completely open, and I am more than happy to work around whatever schedule works best for you. Just let me know! Each animal is unique to each household, and my philosophy when it comes to animal care, is trusting that the owners know best. In other words, I follow exactly what the owners tell me to do. If you tell me that your Great Dane will only go potty if I spin around in circles 3 times, then it looks like I'm spinning. When it comes to animals trusting me, I understand that trust isn't inherent. Generally it come from the correct tone, getting on their level, and as many pats and treats as necessary.
“Dana did a fantastic job with our big fur baby Apollo. She went above and beyond watching over our home. The place was spotless when we arrived home. Dana was super great about checking in with us during our trip and even allowed Apollo to FaceTime on Mother’s Day. Apollo was very well taken care of and it showed when we returned home because he is usually a high energy, very loud Red-tick hound and he was very calm and relaxed when we returned home. Thank you Dana for loving our fur baby like your own.”
“David was wonderful with our anxious dog while we were away at a wedding. So good in fact that she appeared to lose her anxiety issues all together. He is clearly very experienced with animals and they are very receptive to him. He knew exactly how to work with her to lower her anxiety levels throughout a long stay. We are so grateful to have found someone like him for our dog!”
About: I have many animals at home and love taking care of them. I have watched and taken care of many pets throughout my childhood and find a connection with eat pet to help them trust me. I’m currently looking for a new job so I will be available at any time for your needs! I can do any time during the week besides Sundays! I will follow any direction given to me to take care of pets and make sure they are happy and safe! I also will make sure to watch them and make sure they are happy and healthy!
About: I’ve taken care of my friends’ cats in their apartment when I used to live with them. I would feed them and give them lots of snuggles and pets. I especially have experience looking after cats that have an anxious attachment issue and deal with this by offering them frequent pets and attention. Although I only have experience with cats right now, I am enthusiastic and look forward to attune my skills and increase my knowledge about dog behavior and care to look after and protect dogs and puppies. I’m currently not working so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I’m available for drop-in visits, house sittings, and dog walks on weekdays and Saturdays after 1 pm. I also offer these services on some holidays. During drop-in visits and house sitting appointments I will be more than happy to feed your dogs, give them water and refill their bowls if needed. Your dogs would never be bored because I would love to play with them and keep them in good company. I can leash your dog for walks in the park or in the neighborhood and give them treats to reward good behavior and keep them motivated. Your dogs’ safety, comfort, and well being is my top priority and I will make sure to pay attention to their needs.
“Jeanette watched our dog for the weekend in our home while we were gone for the weekend. She sent regular updates and photos to us, and we felt like our dog was well cared for while we had to be away. We are rebooking with her for our next trip and trust that he is in great hands!!”
About: I have taken care of pets my whole life. Many different kinds, including dogs, cats, ferrets, rats, etc. I will treat your pet with love and kindness. I have a job where I make my own schedule. If you decide to board your pet with me, I will be on premises at all times. For boarding, I have a decent size fenced in back yard. I do have a 7 year old husky that has gone to daycare. He's been around a lot of different dogs. If your dog needs to be crated, I can do that as well. I am available to come feed your animal in your home. I can let them out and walk them if needed.
About: I've had experience with an assortment of animals for a large part of my life. I volunteered an animal shelter in Scottsville, NY for about two years walking dogs of every size and taking care of cats. I have also housed two large German Shepherds and three Dachshunds, both of which are very demanding breeds. I currently reside in Owego, NY, and I work part-time in Endicott, NY Monday through Wednesday from 8AM to 5PM. I may provide brief surfaces on evenings these days, such as a walk or stop-in. Any other day is fair game. Per the restrictions of my apartment complex, I won't be able to care for or bring pets in my home. However, I would be sure to respect any client's home I may enter.
About: My whole life I have always had dogs. I absolutely love all animals. I have experience with puppies and senior dogs. It is so much fun to meet new animals! I have no job as of right now and I only go to school from 9:10 am-2:26 pm with an hour and a half break everyday from 11:22 am -12:58 pm. I will do anything asked of me to help take care of your fur babies to cause you no stress while you are away! I will even take them to the groomers and vet if needed.
“Vincent took great care of our dogs, staying with them in our home at night while we were away. I highly recommend him to anyone in need of a reliable and professional dog sitter.”
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was a baby. There have always been those extra family members present in my life. As soon as I got out of the hospital when I was just born, there were our cats, Sheba and Pepper, roaming about, and by the time I was four there was also our dog, Auggie! Beyond that, I have never had a dull moment with nature’s friends. I’ve taken care of my grandma’s cats with their different medicines, litter, brushing needs, and more! My girlfriend has 2 dogs and a cat, so whenever they go on vacation, I step in to take care of them, from food to walking to play-time and everything in-between! It’s also worth noting that I also take care of my girlfriend’s frogs, fish, and gecko, so if you have swimming or reptilian friends that need taking care of, I’m your person! I am currently taking a chemistry course, so my schedule right now excludes: Monday - Wednesday from 12pm to 5pm Thursday from 12pm to 2pm Other than these times, I am completely free, including weekends! To begin, it’s worth noting that I am a patient caregiver. If your pet is shy and you’re a bit skeptical about getting someone to take care of your animals, we can set something up with them to see how we get along! It’s important to make sure they’re comfortable with me before anything is set. Anything your animal(s) needs, I will ensure that I am prepared to put the work in. All animals deserve an understanding and patient mindset. If something makes them uncomfortable, I’ll be sure to remove them from the situation or remove what is making them uncomfortable. Their safety is absolutely one of my biggest priorities, whether we are on a walk or in your own home.
