“Kirsten is amazing. Truly. She came through when a sitter dropped out for us and had multiple visits with our cats and dogs over a holiday weekend, sending kind and connected communications and loving on our animals as if they were her own. We will absolutely trust Kirsten with our precious fur babies again, and you should too.”


“Kaylee was great! Very responsible, dedicated, and communicative. I felt safe knowing she was looking after my cats, and she went above and beyond dealing with their shenanigans! Totally recommend her as a pet-sitter.”


“Kayla was awesome checking in on our cats, dog and puppy! She went above and beyond when our puppy wasn't feeling well. Great communication, super flexible, and clearly cared a lot. Highly recommend!”


“I'm so glad I found Ariana! I moved for a new job with a demanding, unpredictable schedule, and she’s been an absolute lifesaver. She's kind, attentive and truly cares about my animals' individual needs. She took all my requests seriously and always goes above and beyond with her updates, which gives me real peace of mind while I’m at work. I’ve already referred her to a friend who’s just as happy, and I’m a repeat client myself. I can't recommend her enough!”


About: I specialize in caring for small/medium breed dogs in a peaceful, country home just five minutes outside of Ithaca. With experience ranging from young dogs to seniors, I provide a calm, structured environment where your pet can feel safe and at ease. What sets me apart is my exclusive focus on smaller breeds. As the owner of two small dogs myself (a Chihuahua-Terrier mix and a Pomeranian), I understand their specific needs and personalities.

My home is ideal for dogs who do well in a quieter setting and enjoy consistent, attentive care. Whether your dog is older and needs a gentler pace, or simply enjoys a low-key environment, I’m here to provide a safe and loving stay. I work full-time as a remote software engineer, which means I’m home throughout the day and able to provide consistent supervision and companionship. My flexible schedule allows me to take regular breaks for walks, playtime, and one-on-one attention—ensuring your small dog is never left alone for long stretches and always feels cared for. Because I’m home-based and live in a quiet, country setting just outside of Ithaca, I can maintain a calm, structured environment that’s perfect for small breeds who thrive with routine and a peaceful atmosphere. I offer exclusive pet sitting services at my home, ensuring a safe and loving environment for your pet. With a large yard and the companionship of my own two playful dogs—a Chihuahua mix and a Pomeranian —your pet will enjoy playtime, walks, and personalized care. I prioritize their comfort, security, and individual needs, providing a home-away-from-home experience.

“It has been such a pleasure getting to know Kait before her upcoming week stay with our dogs! Our dogs seem to love her already and she’s so friendly, courteous, dependable, positive, and knowledgeable. So grateful to have found her!”

“Ashley did drop in visits for my three girls, they loved her and she managed my excitable Husky really well. She is reliable and obviously cares very much for animals. Would definitely use her again for my girls. I just moved to the area too, and she was available on very short notice. Thanks Ashley!”


About: I grew up in a house with dogs, and have been taking care of them since I was about 10. Friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and care for there animals while away ! As I said In my bio, I am a college athlete so I do have practice during the week and traveling during weekends. Although my class schedule is flexible and I do have a reliable car :) time spend with the animal, walking and exercise is super important to me. I will do everything in my power to give your animal all the love and attention it needs

About: I have had 3 puppies in the past 3 years and one elderly, sickly dog that I help take care of, and watch a family friend's dogs, by walking and feeding them whenever they need me to as they take multiple trips throughout the year. Very flexible as watching pets is something I do on a daily basis with all 8 of my dogs requiring attention. My schedule also fits the needs of future clients and what special needs they may insist on. I would go directly to my clients home's in order to keep their dogs in a safe and comfortable environment to walk, feed and watch them as needed.

“Rebooked with Lauren! She’s so amazing with my cat, Meekhas. Let’s your pet come to her when they’re ready. Lauren is also reliable and communicative as a sitter! Highly recommend.”


“Anthony was nothing short of incredible! He last minute accepted my request after a previous sitter cancelled. He was friendly, quick to communicate, and super accommodating of my requests and the short notice request. He sent photos of my baby and gave her so much attention (she’s very needy). Would definitely hire him again in the future :)”


“Venita was so amazing! She did a drop in and my pup was sick. She cleaned up his crate and played with him. She communicated well throughout everything. She even stayed later when asked, which I appreciated immensely! She sent photos of my pup as well, which was great. Will definitely book her again.”


About: I've had dogs for as long as I can remember, both large and small. I've been routinely walking a 100 pound great Pyrenees since I was a pre teen, so I know how to handle a large barking dog (and I'm not even bothered by barking any more!). I also have a lot of energy, so I'm happy to play as much as possible with any sort of dog. I'm also currently missing my own two dogs at home, so you can be sure that your dogs would get plenty of love and attention if I'm taking care of them. I'm a college student so my schedule is fairly open, aside from when I have class. I'm also available consistently on the weekends, so it wouldn't be an issue to perform frequent check ins. I'm happy to answer any specific inquiries about my weekly availability as well. I am comfortable using whatever mode of security you want, and will be sure to supervise your pets carefully if we're outside. I'm comfortable giving medicine to animals, as I've had some experience with my own cat (who had diabetes) and other foster kittens who needed eye drops, or medication given through pipettes.

About: I love all kinds of pets. You will be confident in knowing when you leave your pet with me. They will be loved and happy. I currently work hybrid during the day with a very flexible schedule. I can come home at any time to feed or let your pet out. I have a large wide open yard. We live on a dead end road. I currently have a small toy Shih Tzu. She’s just over 15 years old, but loves to play with other animals.

Sophie S.
“Sophie is very responsible, honest, clean, and thorough. Most importantly she will absolutely love your pet as if they were her own! She’ll send updates if you want, and keep you posted on anything that happens while you’re away. She’s got a lot of experience—geckos, bottle feeder kittens, puppies, older dogs, cats, dogs of a variety of breeds, too! She’s had to give our cat insulin shots, walk, brush, care for our Great Pyrenees and our terrier mix, and has fostered countless kittens from the SPCA. These kittens were very different from one another too—some needed socialization, some eye drops, some oral meds, and mostly all needed love and attention. Sophie is very caring and she gives our pets the best care we could ask for!”


Cindy V.
“Cindy is FANTASTIC with animals! She has cat sit for me before and my cats love her! I’ve also seen her love and caringness for dogs as well and you can find nobody better!”
