“Kaylee is very communicative and flexible just like the other comments say and I want to thank her so much for visiting my cat, I think he really enjoyed it. Me and my cat felt safe and happy.”
“Jamie has been wonderful with Millie. After her visits, she has left detailed messages regarding her drop-in including an update on how Millie was doing. Jamie has also been very responsive when it came to scheduling as well as respecting Millie's old lady quirks.”
About: I have been lucky enough to spend time with dogs of a range of ages, sizes, and personalities, from energetic puppies to sweet senior pups who need a slower pace and a gentle touch. I’m comfortable with a wide range of needs, just let me know! I take time to build trust, especially with shy or anxious dogs, and I always move at their pace. I also pay close attention to behavior and body language, so I can respond quickly if something seem off. But most importantly, I make sure that they're safe and happy, while waiting for their favorite person to come back to them. Caring for the fluffy angels is something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize in my daily life. My schedule is flexible and I can work from home, which means I can dedicate quality time to walks, play, feeding, and companionship without rushing. Whether I'm welcoming pets into my home or caring for them in their own space, I always focus on creating a calm, safe, and loving environment. I live in a quiet apartment surrounded by forest and green space, with very little car traffic in the neighborhood, which is perfect for peaceful walks and outdoor sniff time. At my place, I maintain a clean and cozy space with plenty of room for your doggie or kitty to lounge, play, or nap. In your home, I'll respect the privacy and cleaness of your space. I will follow your care instructions closely, from feeding routines to medication schedules and favorite toys, because I know how important familiarity and consistency is to their happiness.
“Lillian recently did drop in visits over the weekend to care for our cats; She was incredibly attentive, ensuring that our one cat felt comfortable even during nervous moments. She kept the litter and food spaces clean and tidy, she provided regular updates and followed through on all our agreed-upon plans. It’s clear that she cares about pets. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for drop in pet care.”
“Brigitte peeped in on my babies while I was traveling. I was happy to know they were looked after by a cat lover, she said all my boyz even the skittish one came to visit. So happy to have Brigitte checking in on them.”
“Leah was fantastic, so detail-oriented and communicative—reading the summaries she wrote after each visit to Ivy (and seeing all the pictures!) made me so happy. And based on what I saw in the summaries, Ivy really enjoyed spending time with her. It made our first trip away from Ivy much less stressful to know that she was so well cared for.”
“Thanks Sarah. You take such great care of our cats. And you keep everything neat and cleaned up. We really appreciate you and we’ll see you in December.”
About: "With years of experience in pet care, I provide a loving, safe, and reliable environment for your furry friends. From daily walks and playtime to feeding and grooming, I ensure your pets are treated like family. Whether it's a short visit or long-term care, your pet's well-being is my top priority I work quite a bit, but I always make time for the animals around me! Doing this helps me to have enough time for them. I can provide a safe walk and or safe drop in which helps to keep your pets safe. Which is a top priority to me.
“Bill and Emma we're great! They're very patient and caring, and made sure our dog was well looked after. They clearly love animals, and we're very happy to recommend them!”
About: I have had dogs and one cat since I was a child up until about a year ago. I trained and socialized my dogs so they were always people, child and pet friendly. I am patient and I will understand they will be stressed when their family is not with them. I love walking dogs, playing whatever games they enjoy or just spending time with them for comfort. I work from home full-time and have a flexible schedule during the week and weekends. My work week is normally done by noon on Thurs., so I have long weekend availability. I would treat your pet as I would my own. Give extra attention as we know animals miss their family. I will provide in home care so your pets are more comfortable when you are away.
About: I have always been the animal person in my family, and my community. I’ve always had dogs in my life, but where I’m living I can’t have one of my own, so I’m more than happy to take care of your pets when you need a break! I currently am not working, and I have a farm job starting in June. My availability is very flexible, so more time for hanging out with pups! I can’t bring pets home, but I am very experienced with walking dogs and getting them the exercise they need. I can give your animals lots of love and attention and make sure they are safe and healthy.
About: I have had pets my whole life. I have had many dogs and some cats as well. I can train puppies, have lots of patience with them, and can love on them all day long. I have 2 dogs. Someone is always home, so pups are never unattended. We have a 11 year old daughter as well who loves animals and loves to help care for them. We have 3 acres of land, and a log home. We have a cable to hook up dogs who like to wander, but can allow dogs to run loose if they are well trained.
“Daisy does a great job and is very caring for your pet. I have tired her in the past and I will continue to hire her as needed.”
About: I grew up on a farm and have been around all sorts of animals. I have experience with all types of dogs, from Great Danes to Chihuahuas. Neighbors, friends, and family have previously relied on me to house sit and care for their pet(s) while they’re away. I’m currently working part time, so I have lots of free time to care for your pet(s). Even on days I work, I can do potty breaks before and after. I rely on what the client tells/gives me. I like to keep animals in their own home so they can feel comfortable and not anxious with another person and at another home. It’s good to keep one of those neutral.
About: My remote work makes it possible to spend my days with my dog Winnie, who I adopted from the wonderful Schuyler County Humane Society last year, and still be able to walk or visit other dogs or cats for anyone who is not able to work from home or has plans out of town and can’t bring their furry friend. My schedule is pretty adjustable so let me know when you need someone and I can likely help out. I work remotely and am able to more or less make my own schedule so I can walk dogs during 9-5 hours too. Sometimes there is a gap between projects and I have even more availability. At this time I would not be caring for pets in my home but would possibly be available to watch a pet at a client’s home.
“Roxanne was great and very communicative with us about giving medication and when she would be arriving. I would definitely recommend her to anyone and she was super loving to our kitties.”
About: Hello, I’m Abigail. I have had all types of animals my whole life and have had experience working at pet stores and doggie day cares. I strive to keep all animals happy, healthy, and safe at all times! I am home full time, so my schedule is pretty flexible. My home is welcome to all breeds, and if your pup has special needs that is no issue! I have a child, a three legged pup, and a scaredy cat that are all very well socialized with other animals! If need be I can watch almost any other kind of animal you may have. If you have any questions at all, please feel free to contact me! I hope to meet your pups soon! Thank you.
About: I have taken care of dogs of all different breeds and sizes since I was young. Neighbors, family and friends have relied on me to let their furry friends out for potty breaks, walk them, feed them, and even stay with them in their homes while they are away. I am currently working full time at a dairy farm/farm store until I head back to college this fall. I can be with them before and after work. My hours differ day to day but we can make it work! I can care for your animals in whatever way you need. If they are not able to free roam in your yard, I am willing to leash walk them. I will play with them for as long as they want and I will make sure they are fed on whatever schedule you currently have set for them.
“Amanda took care of my cat dropping by once a day for a week. My cat seem in a great shape and I believe Amanda did a great job. She provided timely updates and was able to socialize and earn the trust of my otherwise shy cat.”
About: I have had pets all my life starting at a young age. I have always taken pride in the ability to take care of and enjoy the time learning and playing with them. They are just as much part of the family as anyone else in the house. We currently have 3 dogs; an American Bully and 2 Pitties that have become a huge part of our family. I work full time, however, have a couple hours each evening throughout the week and also have availability on most weekends after 9am as first thing in the morning is time for our dogs to go out and play. We have 3 acres for our dogs to roam on electric collars. They respect the collars enough we are able to let them roam free off leash all the time.

Yuting D.
“I was out of town for a week and needed someone reliable to walk my Akita (Thunder). Yuting was an amazing dog walker! I love Thunder but to be honest he is a badass who loves to jump when he sees people or other dogs he doesn't like. Yuting handled him with great care and professionalism. She took extra precautions to ensure Thunder's (and others) safety and comfort. She is clearly experienced with handling large, energetic dogs. The other dog walker we worked with before didn't walk Thunder enough so during that time he was always irritable at home. Yuting also sent me regular updates like photos and messages. I was able to enjoy my trip knowing Thunder was in good hands. I would recommend Yuting for anyone needing a trustworthy and skilled dog walker!”
