Pet Sitting & Drop Ins in Dunes, Albany, NY

“Nicholas has been FANTASTIC with my 4 year old golden doodle! Every time he walks her, Nicholas makes an extra effort to provide undivided attention to my dog and her safety, as well as a playful attitude that has her jumping for joy every time he comes back. I HIGHLY recommend Nicholas for anyone who wants their dog properly exercised in safe and loving hands. Thank you Nicholas!”

“Jessica was very good and attentive to our cats, and I loved her flexibility to adjust the booking as we went. I will definitely use her for future pet sitting needs!!”

“Erica was amazing, always gave us updates and photos! We will def get her again if we go on another vacation.”

“Returned to a calm happy pup, thanks to yet again Ewan’s professional and loving care of our dog. The pics he sent during each visit documented his thoroughness and kindness and even made us laugh at some of the facial expressions he captured. Sign him up for your next canine coverage needs - just not on the days in need him 😉!”

“Took wonderful care of our cat and fish. Sent several pictures daily and gave very thorough updates. Definitely made us feel at ease while we were away.”

“Lindsey was an absolute delight. Gave us very clear updates, followed our instructions to a T, and went above and beyond in taking care of Hank while we were out of town. Despite the short notice, she quickly bonded with Hank and was attentive to his needs. She even folded up his blanket into a nice bed and gave him dinner early so we didn’t have to worry about it when we got home. I will definitely ask for her help again soon.”

“Debra is great! On time and very responsive! Communicative and sent lots of pictures! She is very sweet and we will book her services again in a heartbeat!”

“We are so grateful to have found Stephanie! She is conscientious and reliable. She is great with our two high energy springers and we definitely plan to use her again.”

“Natasha is Awesome! She formed a wonderful bond with my Colby and did meditation with him! She provided videos and frequent updates which I so appreciate. Most of all my boy looked so relaxed and zen. I highly recommend and I will surely be using her services again.”

“Miles updates were so detailed and really made me feel better being so far away. Thank you!!!”

“Madeleine (Maddy) O’Rourke is a responsible and caring animal lover. Not only has she grown up with animals throughout her life but continues to have pets as an adult and considers them a part of her family. Maddy is a wonderful pet owner who loves being around all animals. Whether it’s taking them out for walks, teaching them new tricks, or staying in and giving them extra snuggles, Maddy is there for your pup! She treats every animal like they are one of her own. Your pet will be taken care of, happy, and in great hands!”

“Denise grew up on a small farm in a small town. She spent years in 4-H doing various projects with animals of all types. Most summers she would spend working with goats, sheep, pigs, and cattle training them to walk on leash and be ready for show. Denise has also spent her entire life with dogs of various breeds. She understands the importance of appropriate training, exercise, and enrichment. Furthermore, she is a dedicated and intelligent person with a strong work ethic. These qualities helped her achieve her educational goal of becoming a lawyer and passing the BAR exam. As a veterinarian of nearly a decade, I could not think of a better person to trust with my dog giving her the time and enrichment she needs. I would highly recommend Denise.”

Rides and on-lead hikes with my dog if your dog is compatible if you wish. Individualized time in your neighborhood with your dog if you prefer. I am available for daily, weekly, and vacation care. Let's talk and meet. A preliminary meet-up with your pet or pets is necessary. I want you and your pets to feel comfortable and safe. Cats will have individualized attention in your home to include feeding, daily litter scooping, playtime or cuddle time, and nail trimming if the cat allows it. Dogs can go on car rides or gentle hikes with my dog if they are compatible. [They will have to meet first on a walk in your neighborhood. I do not utilize dog parks in order to keep your dog safe]. Your dog can have individualized attention and solo dog walks around your neighborhood if that is their and your preference. Playtime, cuddles, and light training are included.

“I forgot to leave my spare key and she came to my job to get my house key. Great dog walker”

“Great sitter! My dog is very timid and Daniel was very patient with her. He came for a drop in visit while I was at work for a longer shift. He took her outside, got her out of her cage after lots of prying, fed her, and kept her company! Will definitely be having him sit for her in the future (: thank you!”

“Loralys did an excellent job looking after the fur babies! She did everything I wanted and more, including cuddling them, and treating them as if they were her own. She communicated often and clearly including videos, which put my mind at ease. Great job!”

“Choosing Madelyn as our pet caregiver was the best decision we've ever made for our furry family members! Her genuine love for animals shines through in every interaction. She not only met our pets' basic needs but went above and beyond to ensure they were happy, engaged, and comfortable. The first dog walker who truly walked our pup long enough to get her tuckered out! Her attention to detail, from following our pets' routine to her proactive communication with us, was exceptional. Madelyn's caring nature and professional attitude make her an outstanding caregiver. We couldn't be happier and highly recommend her to any pet parent looking for peace of mind and the best care for their pets.”

About: My family and I have rescued three dogs, and sometimes are able to foster, with the heartwarming comfort and responsibility that comes along with taking care of pets. With that background, I am able to recognize the need for trusting someone with your beloved pets, and making sure they are happy. Neighbors and family members have relied on me to drop in, overnight sit, walk, or cover a weeks worth vacation, spending time with their pups. Walks, occasional exercise, and play time are just a few of the services I am able to work with! Currently, I work during school day hours and most weekday night until 8 pm. Tuesday nights are available, as well as weekends! Subject to change based on the time of year I have a fenced in yard and three energetic pups of my own (ages 5, 8, 8) to keep your pet company. I will take the time to help your pet engage in physical activity (ex. playing with toys, walking) and provide them with the upmost care and comfort.
