“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.”

About: Hello! I started pet-sitting seriously in graduate school and had a consistent base of clients for two years. Later, I volunteered at a local humane society where I cared for and interacted with cats and dogs multiple times a week, for three years. This experience taught me a great deal more about dogs, including behaviors, breed traits, and exercise needs. While it's not my profession, animal care-taking has definitely become my passion! I've taken care of cats with very specific feeding programs as well as dogs who have special needs (like my lazy friend Colonel Lafayette the Basset Hound in my pictures). I treat every animal exactly how they want to be treated. Sometimes that is a lot of love and affection, but sometimes there are cats who like their distance! Whatever your animal needs, I'm happy to accommodate them. I commute daily and can easily work in visits in the early morning and late afternoon. Weekends are quite free for longer visits and homestays. It's an honor to have a key to someones home and to be trusted to care for their animals, and I take this very seriously. I am a guest in your home, but in that time your pet is family to me. I always make sure to leave a home neater than I found it, and will double, triple check that all is as it should be before I depart.
About: Hello, My name is Monique. I currently have 2 dogs of my own that, I only just realized have officially entered seniorhood. I currently work at a local vet clinic here in Ithaca so I am also up to date and knowledgable about different breeds,foods, treats, and everything cat and dog! Ive been pet sitting and walking since the age of 13 Which has helped me learn all about caring for animals at all ages. From 4 weeks up till seniority, I can do it all and love every minute of it. Taking care of animals is something im extremely passionate about. I would love the opportunity to meet you and your furry(or feathered or scaled) friend! I currently do work full time and have 2 kidsof my own; and my work schedule does change from week to week but with a little bit of planning, im able to make most things work! Never be afraid to ask if you dee something and are unsure if im the right fit for you! Rover inly lets me specify certain details. I take all safety precautions, double leashes, prong collars(if provided), harnessed walkes, anything that YOU say works best for your pet, I am doing. I dont like to take the risk!

About: Personally I’ve cared for many animals over the years, whether it was pets of my own, or pet sitting for friends and family. Professionally I have experience working with dogs, cats, and horses as a kennelman. I have a very flexible schedule and I’m able to adjust it to accommodate and prioritize the needs of you and your pet as needed. Client care in home will be dependent on the needs of your pet. I can provide walks on site if possible or elsewhere locally as needed.
About: I’ve had dogs most of my life. My current dogs are absolutely spoiled rotten. My girl has epilepsy-so we take extra with her! I also have a boy that is such a sweetheart. I’m soon to be off for the summer, so I will have lots of flexibility to take your pups for a walk! Looking forward to some fun! I don’t plan on caring for animals at my home at this time. My girl is part pitty and tends to only want her and her brother here.

Saraphina M.
“Saraphina came to my rescue when I became a new mom. Having her experienced help alleviated stress and allows me to focus on my newborn. From day 1 it was obvious she knew a lot about dogs AND, that she'd update me regularly regarding Timbo's behavior. A true professional, she is reliable and organized and I'm lucky to have found her!!”

Monique J.
“Monique is WONDERFUL! I actually met her at her job, Petland. I was shopping for a new collar and some toys for my boxer mix and I was going on about how I was trying to find someone to watch him for the weekend while I went away on business, and she mentioned that she actually did dog sitting and would love to do it. The next day I met with her and my little Billy got to see her house and meet her dogs, everyone immediately hit it off amd it was set! She sent me LOADS of pictures and videos of Billy having fun with her and her dogs, even ahowing me that she took him to the pool. It really helped reassure me, especially since this is the first time spending the weekend away from him. She really is the greatest and her love for dogs is evident.”
