House Sitting in Waverly

“Jessica and Matthew were wonderful! My dog is an anxious boy who doesn’t warm up to people easily. They were patient and kind and as a result Astro adored them! They were extremely courteous house guests. We will definitely be using them in the future”

“Kristen was punctual, very friendly, she took amazing care of our Bichon. Always gave me updates & pic! Will absolutely have her dog sit Cody again!”

“Daisy was a fantastic house sitter - I can't recommend her highly enough! She took such good care of our two dogs, including one who is still young and very high energy. She kept in touch with updates and photos, and we could see that our pups were having a great time and getting lots of play time and love. Daisy also took excellent care of our house and left it very clean for our return. I highly recommend Daisy for housesitting and dogsitting, and we will definitely have her stay at our home again!”

“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.”

About: I’ve always had household dogs&cats as well as taken care of friends/family’s pets since I was about 13. From my brothers labs,huskies and beagles, to cousins large and protective Rottweilers, to good friends hyper anxious dog with a cancer diagnosis. As well as other friends super hyper border collie and chiuahua. The most pets I cared for at once was five dogs and two cats. I’ve also cared for three cats and a bearded dragon at the same time. I myself have two cats I train, play with love and care for Currently searching for full time work, I pet sit, baby sit and freelance as of now. I used to work in cosmetic retail and of my freelancing is still in the realm of beauty. I have a very open schedule for pet care currently! I’ve driven all around for pet care before and always make it a point to ease into home of the pet. I also have always enjoyed dog walking or dropping in for a pet visit/check in, it’s like free pet therapy to me!

“Another perfect stay. We trusted Kayla with our kids for eight days while we were out of the country. She sent us regular updates, pictures, and videos and monitored one dog who had a hot spot (and is difficult to deal with). Always a pleasure, we're so comfortable leaving them with her and so happy she was available for the time we planned our vacation.”

About: As someone with a relatively flexible work schedule, I am happy to tailor my care to whatever each pet needs. I am still newer to expanding my pet sitting work beyond family and friends, but excited to bring my intentional and compassionate care to you and your pet! I always treat pets as my own and before each new client, I just ask for some time to understand each pet’s personality, routine, and needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely loved while you’re apart. As mentioned, I have a relatively flexible work schedule, as I work from home on Mondays and Fridays. I always try and intentionally structure my calendar to prioritize consistency, attention, and flexibility for whatever it is I may be doing. I am happy to work with you on a routine while apart from your pet that allows them to feel comfortable, safe, and loved while in my care! When entering a pet’s home, I really try and understand their routine as much as possible. It’s important for me to keep everything close to their normal schedule, respect their space, and offer plenty of affection and companionship. Whether it’s feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), or yard clean-up, happy to tackle whatever is best for you and your pet. Picture of your furry friend will always come your way too!

About: Hello! My name is Shannon but most people call me Redd. I have grown up with animals my whole life, taking care of cats, dogs, fish, and many other little critters in between. I currently have two cats, both old and one blind, who I love dearly—but I miss having dogs! My first animal care job was in middle school, where I walked multiple of my neighbors dogs up until moving away after highschool. have some experience with Equine care as well from my time at Frost Valley. I also volunteer at Wild By Nurture, a small mammal rescue in Ithaca. I am currently working about 30 hours a week, and am looking to drop some of those hours to take up dog walking and odd jobs. I make sure all pet bowls are cleaned after each meal, they are fed at their scheduled times, and have access to a yard/walk/litter box. I also give them lots of love while being sure to pay attention to their body language to steer clear of any agitated/scared cats or pups. For more energetic pets, I love to run around and roughhouse with them, if that’s how they play. (I grew up with a boxer puppy, if you know you know) Any time outside is monitored at all times.

I've owned a doberman names Zeus, a jack russel/pug Tommy Lee, a chihuahua/dauschund named Marta, and Sammy who is a chihuahua/pug/boston terrier/dauschund. I'd love to stop in an check on/or let out your pets, or stop by for walks:) I have wide open availability, day and night! I am a stay at home mom with two kids in school. Looking to make some extra money. I am a stay at home mom so your animals would not be alone at all! I love all animals! Happy to help and love on yours while you're away!

“Can’t thank Sari enough. She came in on short notice, was so genuine and friendly, quick to respond and helped my dog go through her first ever heat cycle. My dog having her dog period was very unexpected and I could not be more grateful for having someone like Sari. She sent pictures and was very caring for my animals. Would highly recommend to anyone in need of pup sitting services. She should be on the front cover of Rover magazine if there was one. THANK YOU!!”

“Rachel was an outstanding dog sitter for our separation anxiety prone pup. Junie was taken on many adventures and treated with care and compassion so she was happy and comfortable while we were away. 10/10 would highly recommend for any of your dog sitting needs.”

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. I’m prepared to accommodate your pets with anything they need to make their time with me enjoyable. During the day, I will be able to provide long walks, frequent playtimes, and transport to the dog park or any other fenced in areas, if that’s what your pet likes most.

“Tess was a wonderful sitter for my elderly pup. He is quite on in years, and she was patient with him and his special needs, for that I am thankful. Her training and experience with elderly dogs put my mind at ease while I was away. I would absolutely recommend her as a great dog sitter.”
