“I am so grateful for the care provided for our cats! It felt clear that she understood how to meet and make each cat comfortable! I believe our cats felt supported and safe because August did everything to keep the cats routines. We feel so grateful and will book again!”


“It is clear that Georgia loves animals. Our dog was well cared for, the house was spotless on our return, and she kept in touch throughout our trip. Would have back in a heartbeat!!”


“Bev was fantastic. She stayed three nights with our cat. She had great communication and sent us photos of our cat each day. She left the house spotless. Bev was great, we will definitely rebook with her!”


About: I’ve taken care of neighbors and families pets for extended periods (~7-10 days). I found a litter of feral kittens this past summer and cared for them until finding them homes. I’ve also watched many breeds of dogs from chihuahuas to mountain dogs. I’m available most days and hours as I don’t have much of a routine as this is my current source of income during my time of from college. My personal dogs are able to be off leash constantly as I am from a farm background which allows them to have a lot of space. The dogs I’ve watched often have fenced in yards that I’ll play with them in and let them outside on a schedule the owner has requested.

“Anna sat for us again. She’s communicative which I appreciate. She was also very understanding and flexible when we ran late getting home. My girls seem very comfortable with her. That means a lot. I’ll happily reach out to her again when the need arises.”


“Hiba was amazing with our 1 year old dog Lucy and our adult cat Nina! She was very attentive and made sure to get and follow all the relevant info for both pets. She was very sweet yet very professional. She knew how to handle our dog and it showed she had experience with puppies in the past. Would not hesitate to call her again to sit for our pets :-) Thanks again Hiba!”


“Vi was wonderful to accommodate our last minute booking request. They came on time and were thoughtful and accommodating to our pets idiosyncrasies and needs. They were appropriately communicative. I would definitely book with Vi again.”


About: While I don't have any special training with animals, I like to listen to what the owner and the animal needs for care. I genuinely love hanging out with them. I love how excited dogs get when I walk into a house, or how free they feel and excited they are for a walk. Or when cats rub up against you and love getting pets. Pets are like people, they're all unique and have their own personality and needs. That's what makes pets awesome, how different they all are. I'm currently working a few hours each week from home, so I have plenty of free time to hang out with pups, or kitties, or take dogs for a much need walk or bathroom break. Well that depends on the animal, because each pet is different. how comfortable they are with me, how many times do I need to be introduced to them, how the owner would like me to care for them. Theres a lot of factors that come into play, so I am willing to do what the owner would like to be done for their own pet.

“Sarah was great with our high energy dog! We were out of state for the weekend and Sarah stayed in our home and took great care of our dog and our home. She was very responsive as well. We’ll definitely be reaching out to Sarah next time we’re away!”


“Julia was awesome with Isaac and kept me updated throughout the day with pictures and messages. I felt very comfortable with her immediately and will absolutely reach out to her again with future bookings! I also want to note how accommodating she was - arriving at 5:30am so I could get to an important meeting. I so appreciate her punctuality and ability to take in Isaac’s care plan so quickly. Isaac is a shy rescue and it takes a special person for him to warm up so quickly. Thank you, Julia!”


About: Life long, I grew up with cat's and dogs. Along with other animals in the household. Mainly growing up with two cat's and a herding dog but also two small lap dogs. I'm working Fridays and weekends. Along with heading to college in the second to last week of August so right now Monday - Thursday are my available days I have two pet Friendly dogs that love to play and I would take them to dog parks to be able to get energy out in a safe and monitored environment.

“Ilia is a wonderful sitter. In the single night she spent with our cats, they were clearly happy, content and not missing us at all. It is such a gift to have someone like Ilia care for our beloved animals. Thank you.”


“Heavenly Hayley! My cats are demanding and complicated little goblins but Hayley made me feel like she was their biggest fan. I knew Hayley was indulging all their quirky needs so my time away was even more fun and relaxed. Her presence made everyone's life better. I hesitate to write the review she deserves because she will get too popular on Rover and I might never be able to leave home again.”


About: 🐾 Hi, I’m Daniel — a lifelong animal lover and reliable sitter based in Plattsburgh, NY. Over the years, I’ve cared for six dogs of my own and have regularly walked and dog-sat for friends, neighbors, and local clients. Whether it’s a brisk walk, some much-needed playtime, or a cozy companion while you're away, I treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m a 26 year old creative/entrepreneur focused on my growth but pet care is something I’ve always enjoyed, taken seriously, and do as a side hustle. My schedule is flexible, especially on holidays, and I’ll do everything I can to accommodate your pet’s needs and routine. I understand pets can get nervous when their humans are away. That’s no problem — I’m calm, patient, and focused on making sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for while you're gone. If you ever have questions, I’m always just a message away! 🗓️ My hours are flexible! I currently work part-time at a restaurant in Plattsburgh but when the day winds down, I'm a self employed musician/entrepreneur. Don't hesitate to reach out with the dates and times you need cause I'm sure I can fit your furry friend into my week! 🏡 Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I make sure they’re well exercised, fed, and relaxed — whether we’re out for a walk or just hanging out. I’m gentle but confident when working with animals and understand that each one has their own unique needs and behaviors. I’m here to make them feel at home, even when they’re not.

“Emily was awesome! She was quick to respond and willing to come meet our pup before our trip to go over needs. While we were away she updated us with cute pictures daily. We returned to one happy pup. Thank you Emily!!”


About: I’ve always had pets growing up. I’ve learned to care for pets responsibly and give them the love and attention they need everyday. I make sure I’m attentive and fun for all the pets I take care of. I’m in college and can do any job during my breaks and weekends work the best most of the time. Also the summer I am mostly free. I’ll always make sure that your pets are leashed while outside and will make sure your doors are locked in case of possible intruders. I will always keep an eye on your pet so they don’t get up to mischief.

“Chantal was wonderful with our pups! She asked if her daughter could come hang with the dogs too and they loved her! I know the dogs will be happy to see Chantal and her daughter again next time we leave for an overnight trip.”


About: I have a full range of animal history and care. I have chosen dogs to accommodate and love unconditionally when you must be away from your best friend! I offer a variety of animal care and services, including one on one to fun play sessions for pets with like personalities. I am confident we can find what is necessary and essential for each unique situation. We don’t have problems we specialize in solutions together! I am currently retired and found a way to incorporate exercise and love for animals in a great combination for both myself and our furry faces. I travel regularly to render my time and care for others pets in many locations. I have many opportunities and accommodations to suit each unique dog situation. I am willing to follow pet owners regiment to almost an exact replica if possible. Let’s talk a see how I can help make the transition stress free when you must be apart. I travel to accommodate situations necessary.

“The pups loved Mayla! We were away for the week and Mayla stayed at our house to watch our two dogs. It’s hard being away from the fur babies but Mayla sent us pictures every day which made it easier. Our two dogs loved snuggling with her which made us feel so much better about leaving them knowing they were so comfortable with her.”
