House Sitting in Albany

“Whitney is the kind of pet caretaker that you dream about! She is so wonderful with my 95 lb lab puppy (yes, I said puppy because he's only 1.5 yrs old and doesn't know his strength). She is willing to work with you if a schedule shift happens, she knows a lot about animals and that's important to me, she is more than conscious of my home and takes very well care of it while I am gone. All in all, she's one of the finest you can get!”

About: I have grown up with animals my whole life, big and small! I grew up doing 4-H training, raising, and showing my dog, rabbits, chickens, sheep, and horses. I am now a working professional looking to house and pet sit to grow my savings. Since high school I have taken care of friends and families pets and houses while they’re out of town. I am comfortable with overnight sitting at your residence, and if you are close to my work I can check on your animals during my lunch break. As a house and pet sitter I respect your space and privacy. I also have experience as an Airbnb cleaner, and would be more than willing to use those skills to ensure you return to a clean and inviting home after a trip. I currently work 8-5 M-F in North Albany with an hour lunch break. I would be able to do morning care and feeding for pets, and if close I can use my lunch to check on them. For full house sitting services I would be available all evening to play with, feed, and snuggle your animal(s)! When caring for you pet at your home I will try to match your typical routine when possible. I can sit out in the yard with them or take them for relief walks or longer. I will also do any enrichment activities you request, fetch, walks, etc.

“Sandor is an absolute dream sitter! He’s very responsive and friendly, took care of fur babies and our home, and he found ways to go above and beyond, exceeding our expectations. He’s by far the best sitter we’ve ever had on this site and we’ll certainly check his availability first the next time we need a sitter. 10/10 recommend!”

“Alexandra was great with our high energy pup and our two indoor cats. She stayed in our home for a week while we traveled internationally. She gave great updates, helped around the house, and sent pictures frequently. We will definitely use her again and recommend her highly!”

Kay W.

“Alexandra was responsive when it came to answering questions about availability and setting up a meet and greet prior to booking. Our dogs responded very well to Alexandra and her energy; they were calm and warmed up to her quickly which isn't always the case when it comes to strangers. Alexandra took our dogs out on multiple walks and fed them according to our specifications!:)”

“Bailey did a wonderful job taking care of our two pups for the weekend while we were away. She had excellent communication, sent pics to check in, and took excellent care of the house. She left the house very clean, including hand washing the dishes she used while we were away. I would love to have her take care of my pups again in the future.”

“Megan was wonderful with our dog. I would use her again.”

“Laura took care of our sweet 3mo puppy on short notice. We really appreciated that she dropped by a few days ahead to meet him and learn about his routine in the house. He was well-cared for and would recommend her to others.”

Stacey G.

“Rosie was great watching our dogs for a long weekend. We really appreciated how methodical and attentive she was, asking and taking notes on all the little parts of their foods/meds/routine/preferences. We felt really comfortable having her in our home and trusting her with our doggos. Would recommend and would work with again.”

About: With experience in senior care and a current dog training course, I am eager to provide exceptional pet care. I have a tendency to entertain pets with lively singing and dancing. As an animal lover, I utilize the skills I've gained through consistent caregiving. I also understand that dogs and cats communicate differently than humans, and it's crucial to understand their form of body language. With that said, I can provide your fur child with a well structured day that will encompass walks, play, redirection, treats and cuddles. My schedule is completely open since I work from home. I love getting up early in the morning to go for walks. In the afternoon enjoy spending a few hours at the park. I will probably get some fresh air in the evenings. This schedule usually works really well with me and the pet owners. I ensure that all pets are treated as beings that carry their own type of individual persona. From the skiddish, to the outgoing, to shy, old, young, and reclusive; I can certainly provide positive reinforcement. Providing your pet with love and some kind of positive impact is the goal for every care session. As far as safety goes I ensure that all pets are harnessed so that I can have full control while your pet is under my care. I am also trained to prevent and dissolve dog altercations. Not to mention I also tend to be the kind of pet caretaker that will lull your pet to sleep at night if they are more on the anxious side. Very nurturing and at times goofy with pets. I definitely regularly partake in pulling dog treats out of my fanny as a form of reward if that is something that is allowed. I am very consistent with any medications that may need to be administered. I am one to consistently send pictures and communicate any sign of illness. I would prefer to give your fur baby the treats provided by you given that dietary restrictions are on a case by case basis.

“Jordan took excellent care of my pup. Very attentive and respectful of my home. Communication was excellent. Would definitely book him again”

“Annie is an amazing dog sitter! She’s attentive, thoughtful, and truly cares about our pups. She sent regular updates and photos, asked great questions, and gave our super seniors so much love and quality time. 10/10 — we couldn’t ask for better care. I’m so thankful to have found her. Thank you,Annie!”

“Lydia was wonderful in taking care of my babies. I recommend her for watching your pets. I will definitely take advantage of her services again!,”

Jeri E.

“Great pet sitter. Elizabeth was very gracious with changes in time regarding my last minute trip. The house appeared in the same working order and the dog was left happy.”

Anastasia E.

“My dogs took to Kate right away. One of them is shy around new people and even he felt comfortable with her within a few minutes of meeting her. She was on time, communicative, and left essentially no trace in my home. The dogs are looking forward to seeing her again soon!”

About: I grew up helping friends and family care for their pets; an experience that has fostered the love I have for animals now. Professionally, I have done overnight home stays, check-ins, and walks. I value strong connections with my clients and their pets and I am always happy to see returning clients. I work part time, which gives me plenty of flexibility during the day for walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins. I’m able to adjust my schedule around a pet’s needs and give them consistent attention. Your pet’s happiness and well-being are my top priorities. I make sure to prioritize playtime, regular feedings, and enrichment throughout the day. For safety, I have a personal policy of never walking a client’s dog off-leash, and I always use positive reinforcement and praise to encourage good behavior. I understand how hard it can be to be away from your furry family members, so I make it a point to send daily photos and updates to give you peace of mind that your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for.

About: I have a special needs cat of my own that has amplified my ability to care for all kinds of pets. I’m a medical student who is always available to sit with your pets and study, take them for a walk, and generally just love to spend some time with your pets! I am available variably with most availability on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Fridays through the weekend. Please check out my schedule to see specifics as I update it frequently. At your home, I will make sure that your fur baby is safe, happy, and experiences quality care with my full attention for the time that I am with them!

“Nadiya was great with my boys! Very communicative which was so helpful and made me feel comfortable having her watch my dogs. Plus my dogs seemed to really enjoy their time with her!”

About: I am a current vet student at OSU, and I have worked in a small animal general practice for about 3 years. I have house sat for families for about 6 years consistently. I am from Chicago and left behind our family dog, looking to fill the void with some new furry friends! Being a full time vet student can take up a majority of my time, but I adjust my schedule to adapt to the pets normal routine. I always adjust to owners schedule, to feed, take outside, or give medication at the right time. I am unable to house clients in my apartment, but I am comfortable staying at clients homes. I am more than willing to give baths or nail trims if supplies are available. I always like to meet new friends once or twice before my stay to build trust, and to get to know the day to day tasks of your furry loved one! I enjoy sharing photos to keep owner updated on their pet’s well being.
