Dog Sitting in Albany

“I am beyond satisfied and so pleased with Linda's care for my kitties while I was away. It can be so stressful for Pets (and Pet Parents), trying to make sure all is okay when out of town, especially when an older animal may need special care. Linda went above and beyond, was reliable, respectful and responsible (a huge snow storm didn't prevent her from visits) flexible-my plans changed due to a family issue, twice. Linda was calm and accommodating, which gave me such peace of mind. And my home was tidier than when I left! Most important- my cats are happy, apparently well fed and amused, and not traumatized by being away from their home or ignored. Linda's daily photos and "report card" was terrific! Thank you, Linda, for everything. Now my cats are back to ignoring me, I know they're probably waiting for Linda to come by...!”

“Hannah was wonderful. She took great care of BarBar and Blenny. Feeding, litter box and most importantly giving them attention and love. Highly recommend her and will definitely use her again when we go out of town again. Thank you Hannah!”

“Deb is the absolute best pet sitter. I'm loosing count of how many times I've booked with her, but each time she exceeds my expectations and goes above and beyond. She sends the cutest pictures of my cat (my cat absolutely loves Deb), plays with her (Deb even gifted Zoey a toy!!! I'm telling you, Deb's the best), sends detailed updates while I'm gone. She even tidies up the place (my cat likes to make a little mess), so when I get back it looks spotless! She is reliable, has the biggest heart, and truly cares for pets she watches as if they're her own. I have the utmost trust in Deb, and if I could give her more than 5 stars I would! She is simply the best.”

About: I've been involved in dog rescue for over 20 years and often board former foster pups. I give a lot of attention and soft play to minimize the stress of their owners being away. I recently completed a 220 hour veterinary assistant certification. I have a flexible work schedule Monday-Friday which allows me to leave midday for walks, feedings, etc. Weekends are typically wide open. I am available for sunrise and sunset walks at the local golf course or in your neighborhood. I am off for the summers and all school holidays. Pets in my home enjoy lots of exercise and soft play--fetch, tug of war, etc. Dogs that prefer to stay home will have a minimum of 3 visits per day for feeding, exercise and play. For golf course walks, I offer free pickup within two miles of the route from my house to the course.

About: I will care for your dogs with ease and I will always be on time and reliable! I will give your pup the special care and attention that he or she needs. I have over 14 years of experience caring for canines and felines. Working with the needs of your dog is my top priority. I am in Albany, NY. I have a flexible schedule and I can prioritize taking care of your furry friend! I can drop by for a food and play session with your cat, or bring your dog on a 60 minute walk, and feed your dog (if needed). Pets I take care of are in the pet parent's home, rather than my own home. If there are certain routines and things you would like to share with me about best practices in your home, please let me know.

About: I have had dogs since the day I was born and wouldn't want it any other way! Family and friends have relied on me to care for their pets for years, and they have been confident in my abilities as a former employee at a 24-hour emergency animal hospital. I'm experienced working with a variety of breeds and temperaments, including reactive dogs with behavioral challenges. I am well versed in force-free positive reinforcement methods. Professionally I work as an epidemiologist, so you can also be sure I am taking all health and safety precautions! I am also available most afternoons/evenings and on weekends. I can drop in for walks and to spend time with pups in your home during these times too! I do everything I can to keep your pet comfortable and stress-free!

I have a firm understanding of animal body language and knowledge of how to behave around dogs of all temperaments!

“Sarah is wonderful! Our Great Dane, Bentley, took to her right away. Sarah is very easygoing and immediately made Bentley feel comfortable with her. Looking forward to booking with Sarah again soon.”

About: I treat every pet like they’re my own—whether it’s for a quick walk, overnight stay, or just some extra playtime. With a calm, caring approach and a love for all animals, I’m committed to keeping your pet happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. You can count on reliable updates, attention to detail, and plenty of tail wags! I currently work full time as an emergency room technician at a local hospital. I would love to spend my days off with your animals! When caring for pets at their home, I follow your instructions closely to keep their routine consistent and stress-free. I make sure they’re fed, walked, played with, and given lots of affection—just like you would. I also keep their environment clean and safe, whether that means refreshing water bowls, scooping litter, or tidying up after playtime. I provide updates with photos so you always know your pet is happy and in good hands.

About: Hi, I’m Destiny, a lifelong pet lover with years of experience caring for both dogs and cats! I’ve had cats in my family since I was 8 and have had my own cat for almost 4 years. I’ve also cared for and walked all size dogs from a chihuahua to a great dane, including my own family dogs back in high school. I know how important it is to provide pets with personalized attention, exercise, and enrichment. Whether it’s a high-energy walk, a relaxing stroll, or playtime with your furry friend, I make sure every pet gets the care they deserve. I’m also experienced with leash training, enrichment activities, and handling larger dogs. I'm happy to go over any specific instructions or needs for your pet to make sure they get care you want and the love they deserve! I'm currently working a full time job and looking for some extra work to make ends meet. I'm available all weekends and early mornings or evenings until sunset through the week. I'm also in the Albany area and can absolutely make a mid-day walk work if that's what you or your pet needs! With one cat at home, I can absolutely accommodate other kitties overnight. Unfortunately, dog sitting is not an option for me at the moment but I'm willing to go the extra mile to drop in for visits, walks, and can crate or settle them down when leaving them. I know you love your furry friend and want to give them the best care, I’m here to help in whatever way I can!

“Laney did a fantastic job looking after our cats and crested gecko while we were away! We really appreciate not having to worry while we are on a long trip, since we know they are in good hands. Thanks Laney!”

About: I have had the opportunity to care for young puppies and elderly dogs over the last three years. Both ends of the spectrum require different levels of care, but more importantly, it requires love and patience. I am able to go for as many walks as needed, administer pain and behavioral medications, or just snuggle on the couch. I would be able to stop by for pet care in the morning before 9AM, during my lunch break around 1PM, and then after 5PM. All animals are on different schedules, but my flexibility hopefully will mesh with yours! I would first like to meet your animal before officially becoming their sitter. I want them to become acclimated with me and see if we would respond well to each other, especially with me entering into their home. For dogs, I can administer medications, go on walks, observe back yard play (if applicable) and provide them with all the food and treats they’re allowed. For cats, I can scoop and deeply clean litter, brush and maintain their fur if needed, and again, provide all the food and treats! Both also deserve some indoor play time as well, so more then happy to participate in play time

About: As a full-time elementary school teacher and lifelong dog lover, I bring a unique blend of patience, responsibility, and playful energy to pet care. I’ve grown up around dogs and have helped care for everything from energetic puppies to sweet senior pups. I understand that each dog has their own personality, needs, and quirks—just like my students! Currently enjoying my teacher summer and have a lot of time on my hands! I live in a dog friendly apartment with a roomy, AC filled space. I babysit babies occasionally, but am looking for more to fill my days! I just moved here from Boston and am missing my family dog back at home…would love to get back my daily dose of dog snuggles! I live in a clean, dog-friendly apartment with my boyfriend, and we both love animals! While I don’t currently have a dog here, I have one back home, so I’m very familiar with creating a safe, loving environment. I always keep a close eye on pets during walks and playtime, and I make sure they’re comfortable, secure, and happy at all times.

About: I and and my partner Olesia are huge dogs lovers. Olesia taking care for 7 years of Bullmastiff. We want to give the dog best time full of joy, and playfullness. Both of us are very responsible. Serhii currently works part-time as a lecturer, so he is looking forward to spending time with your pups. Olesia is doing her MFA study, and adore long walks in parks. Serhii is free most of the week, and his schedule is flexible. We live in the one bedroom appartment with a lot of space, and our pan backyard. The pet will have their own dog bed and be safe in our house.

About: I have always had a house full of pets! From older dogs who need a little extra attention or help getting around, to active cats running around looking for play! Im active and attentive and love to get to know each animal :) I will have some time off from work the next few weeks, and will have full availability to sit/walk. While working, I have mornings free and nights free as well. I work for EPBGC so I’m working with kids and coming home to my dogs Billy Ray, Phantom, and Otto. And my cats Dooney and Chloe! I have a fenced backyard for the dogs, and keep watch while on walks for any other dogs near. My cats have a cat door down to their basement utopia! We spend a lot of time together so I notice when their acting out of sorts or under the weather.

About: My sister is a licensed Vet Tech and has worked in medical care for animals for a couple years. She has taught me all the basic animal and medical care in case anything might happen. I have owed my own German Shepherd for 3 years now and I have pervious experience taking care of my sisters very anxious dog and our senior family dog. I also help take care of my roommates Golden Retriever during the week while she is at work! I am active so I can go on long walks with the pups and play with them for hours so you come home to a tired pup. I work from home most of the week so I am able to stay during the week and take care of your animals! I am very flexible and would love to help out as much as I can. Knowing how to set your dog up for success is VERY important to me. Every dog has their quirks and bad habits but it is important to recognize them and how you can avoid them to set them up to be the best pup they can be! Some example can include making sure the trash is out of reach, keeping dangerous objects out of reach, keeping them from things that could scare them
