“Five stars all the way. One of my pups, Eddie, is a bit of a pain in the ass and nips at strangers. Jennifer took the time to come over every Monday after work for 4 weeks before the sitting date to allow him to get accustomed to her. Just absolutely above and beyond. And both dogs totally love her. She did a wonderful job sitting and even left the house in better condition than when I left. Definitely hiring Jennifer again in the future”


“Angela was AMAZING with all my Fur babies , 2 dogs and my cat , all adore her!! It was a challenging job as our 7 year old dog, Rex has diabetes and pancreatitis and on a strict schedule for feedings, glucose checks and insulin shots, Our first time leaving him since he was diagnosed and Thanks to her we felt completely comfortable, constant updates and pics allowed us to have a stress free trip”


About: I did the animal science program at boces for 2 years where I got to get hands on experience with all kinds of animals such as taking care of dogs. Due to taking the animal science program I am certified as a veterinary assistant. Right now I’m also going to school for my bachelors degree in canine training and management. I also have 2 cats of my own that I’ve had and taken care of since I was 11. Heads up I have 2 cats at home still so for boarding requests I cannot accept cat reactive dogs. It fits into my schedule for the summer because of college break because I won’t have school at all and I’ll be able to give a most of my time to your pets although I do have work Monday Wednesday and Thursday. Although since Monday Wednesday and Thursday I have work from 8 to 11:30 so if doing a boarding I wouldn’t be back home until 4:30 because of transportation depending so dogs have to be okay being home alone for a little bit. If I do house sitting I cannot get to a house after 7am and before 4pm due to transportation because I cannot drive due to medical reasons and only have transportation before 7am and after 4pm. Be up front and open. Follow and respect the animals and if you go to the home respect and follow the rules. I don’t have a fenced in yard.

About: Responsible and caring. I want to be sure all their needs are met so they are comfortable and safe. Pets deserve to be treated well. I have spare time to help a family out with their pets. I am truly committed to the time slots I say I am available. I have an indoor cat, but he loves to go outside, so I put a collar and a leash on him and take him out daily.

“Kelli was great the whole step of the way! Communication was on point. She watched our 4 dogs in our house for 6 days. Extenuating circumstances during our 5 day trip included a snowstorm and being stuck at an airport on the last day, hence having to extend Kelli’s stay to another day. She was very flexible and of course said she would help with the dogs another day. A++ for going above and beyond, especially during the snowstorm when we needed her help to communicate with the snow removal guys. Definitely recommend and will be happy to use her to watch our pups again in the future!”


About: I've loved dogs ever since I can remember. I have experience caring for every breed of dog imaginable. Never found one I didn't love to the moon and back. I am a firefighter so my schedule can vary but I'll have lots of time to care and love your pup and give them all the scratches they deserve. I treat others' homes just like my own, if not better. I also don't mind grabbing your mail, feeding other pets, or watering plants if needed.

“Jess is phenomenal! She watched our 3 kitties and 1 very large doggo for two weeks and we came home to happy animals and a clean home. The detail and care she has makes me feel like she truly cares for her clients animals like her own. I got so many cute photos and updates while we were away and her little stories of their adventures made my day each time. She was so thorough at the beginning of the process and is such a sweet and easy going person. We will definitely book with her again and I highly recommend you choose her as well! 5 paws! ? ⭐️”



About: Hi, my name is Jessica and I have an almost three year old named Adeline. I was fortunate to grow up with pets and Addie has had two dogs since she was born. In our home, your pets are family! I am very comfortable taking care of doggies, playing with them, and making them feel at home. They will also have the pleasure of running wild with our two fur-babies Bronté and Thoreau! Please rest assured that while your pets are in our care, your time away will be worry free! I am a stay at home mom and am home taking care of your dogs for the duration of their time with me. If you have any questions feel free to reach out! I will answer any questions you may have to make your experience with me as stress-free as possible! I run my business from my home so I am home most of the time other than appointments and errands so your dog will rarely be alone. I have a large yard and a lead to put your doggy on plus two fur-babies to keep your doggie company. My whole house is open to dogs but I am happy to crate if needed as well.

“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.”

“Cassandra was wonderful with our animals. She took great care of our funny farm. She sent me pictures daily and reminded us that the animals were safe in her care. Our goat ended up losing his horn while we were gone so she was able to clean him up for us and made sure the bleeding stopped. We would love to have her house sit again for us in the future.”


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

“Laura stayed at our house for the weekend and took care of our 5 month year old puppy. She graciously accommodated us last minute when another sitter ended up falling through. Our dog was in very good spirits when we got back! She sent us pictures , communicated with us very well, and respected our home.”


“She was wonderful! I didn't have to worry about my dogs being taken care of or coming home to a mess. My dogs were well loved and my house was the same as I left it! I was sent pictures and kept in communication with Kimberly! I'd highly recommend her!”


About: I love dogs they can tell. I have a boxer that enjoy running with and playing engaging games. I don't mind walking and running in winter weather. I enjoy working with dogs that want to get out and run but I'm also enjoying working with dogs who have gained some pounds and need a walk... who hasn't been there!? I think happy dogs are less destructive dogs and less distructive dog means happier owner. My hours and availability maybe changing relatively soon, but I am available every day before 8 and every day after 3 im available for overnight stays or weekend stays. I’m not able to board right now but I will be able to board soon! I look forward to hearing from you!!! -Cassi

Madison G.
“Ivan is one of the sweetest individuals I have ever met and so good with animals! I don't trust my pets with many people, especially since my older dog has on set dementia/ health issues and doesn't like people but he loved Ivan instantly. Ivan has stayed in my home and taken care of my 3 pets like they are their own and given them the love and care they needed. I trust Ivan fully with my babies. And Ivan is one sitter I would highly recommend! The compassion they have for animals is unmatched!”
