House Sitting in Alcove

“Petra is so caring, communicative, and wonderful. She always sends updates and goes above and beyond to take perfect care of our pup, who she loves like her own. She’s also a fantastic houseguest. Highly recommend!”

“Our dogs love, Taylor! She took them for walks and sat with them for extra pets at night. She communicated with us and kept us posted on how they were doing. Thank you for giving us the peace of mind to know our pups were cared for while we were away, you will book with Taylor again!”

About: Never had a day were I didn’t grow up with dogs. They’re the reason I went into a career caring not only for animals but for wildlife too. As small as a chihuahua and to as big as a mastiff mix that am lucky to have back home in Texas. Moved all the way from Texas for a great outdoor opportunity. Enjoying what the greater Albany area has to offer and exploring more places. Dearly miss caring for animals and would love to extend my help to the surrounding community. Our fuzzy friends are great communicators through body language and with years of passion and schooling, it is my pride and joy to care for all critters.

About: I had over ten dogs growing up, both large and small, and have had three cats. All have lived to an old age and had a wonderful quality of life! I work from 7am-3pm Monday-Friday with occasional work from homes, so I can provide pet care in the early morning and/or afternoon/evening! On weekends, I am flexible! I focus on building trust and affection with pets, ensuring play time and pets are on their terms, giving space as needed! I am big on safety and keeping a watchful eye on them.

“Evelyn was awesome with our two Frenchies, Homer and Lorelei! She followed all our instructions, sent lots of photo updates throughout the day, and was super easy to communicate with. Everything went really smoothly — we’d definitely have her watch them again!”

“Alyssa is great! My pets and home were well cared for. My dog gets pretty anxious when I go out of town but he seemed very calm and relaxed when I came back. He seemed like he had a great time with Alyssa!”

About: I’ve taken care of all sorts of animals since I was 13, and I’m especially comfortable with cats and dogs. I have loads of patience for cats and dogs with anxiety, kittens and puppies, and senior pets as well. They’re family, and I love to help in any way I can to ensure your family is happy and healthy! I work full time as a tattoo artist Tuesday-Saturdays from 2-8:30pm. I am available before 1:30 pm Tuesdays and Saturdays, anytime before 5pm on Sundays, and before 7pm on Mondays! However, please feel free to message me about nights Sundays and Mondays as I’m happy to try and move things around. If you need someone at your home to care for pets, I can be there! I’ve watched other people’s lovely pets overnight in the past, and as long as I’m given somewhat of a tour/instructions I am happy to care for them overnight!

“We had a fantastic experience with Jessica! Our pups were well cared for and very happy! We will absolutely be using her again!”

About: I've been taking care of dogs since I was five years old and continued to get more dogs. I have dog sat for multiple friends and family rating from dogs and cats. As far as training animals, I did grow up with having to train them so I do have some experience. I am currently working part time and go to community college but will be able to manage and work out a schedule that will be accommodating. I have 3 dogs that have invisible fences outside so they can roam free without getting lost, going to the road, running off. I have a big yard surrounding my house so they are used to running around freely. When it gets too cold they come in to the house or garage with my father. I am used to walking dogs as they do get walked on occasion at home or if we have them out of the house. I do not off offer services that welcome pets into my house but I am accommodating as necessary and will offer services at your residency.

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats my whole life, I have two cats now who are my world! I love all animals and would treat yours as my own. I currently work part time and on the side I love to get my time in meeting all your little family members, especially dogs because I lost mine two years ago. I have a yard, a nice large and clean home and two cats currently who are Great with dogs, and little princess doggy named Daisy Mae who is great with all dogs. Rascal, Daisy and Milkface are my whole world!! I will treat your baby just like mine.

“We met Kenda under urgent circumstances, Having just moved to the Bethlehem area from NH, we knew no one. But then we found Kenda on Rover and all her talents and reccommendations were amazing and we knew right away she was the perfect sitter to meet our 2 dogs, Commet&Vera. Her first visit was exactly what we and our babies needed for our short leave from the home. She came prepared and it was clear she had done her homework reading all about our dogs and their meds on a daily basis. We cannot be happier nor more trusting with Kenda. Best reaction was the dogs first encounter they were elated and even tussled to see who got her attention first. My husband and I highly recommend Kenda especially if you have large dogs who are a bit rambunctious. Kenda is the real dog whisperer with her care of quick understading of our our furriest... thank you from the bottom of our hearts also from our babies. SEE YOU VERY SOON I HOPE.

About: I started a pet sitting business as a child when my parents wouldn’t get me a dog. I had hamsters and fish growing up. I bought my first dog Jovi in college and found my second dog on the streets of Missouri. They each lived well into their teens (Jovi was 18 when she passed). Now I am pet-less and looking to share my animal love with your fur babies. I am a registered dietitian and yoga instructor, so I know alot about health and anatomy. I familiar with giving oral and injectable medications. I work remotely for myself so my schedule is very flexible. I have a vehicle and can travel. My weekend availability varies, but I keep this profile up to date. I have a small 900 sq ft home that I have shared with many pets! I have a doggy door so they can access the fenced in yard easily. I am very active so I like taking long walks with pets if that is their preference. I live near several walking paths and parks.

“We booked our second house sitting experience with Brian, and he was fantastic again! He even took our senior puppy to her vet appointment, as we couldn't make it home in time. Thank you Brian for taking such great care of our girl.”

About: What sets me apart is my hands-on veterinary experience. I’m a working vet assistant, so I’m comfortable caring for pets who need more than just food and walks. I have experience administering medications, monitoring behavior and appetite, caring for senior pets, and supporting animals with anxiety or special needs. I’m also confident with puppies, including reinforcing basic training routines and structure. I focus on calm, clean, and attentive care so pets feel safe and owners feel at ease. Pet care is a part of my daily life and routine. I work as a vet assistant, so I’m used to managing feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and behavioral observation for multiple pets. On a typical day, I make time for walks, play, and mental enrichment, and I’m always checking in on pets’ well-being throughout the day. I’m organized and flexible, so whether it’s daily visits, long-term stays, or drop-in check-ins, I can seamlessly integrate caring for your pet into my schedule while keeping them happy, safe, and comfortable. I provide personalized care for pets in both my home and yours. At a client’s home, I follow your routines closely—feeding, walking, administering medications, and providing companionship—so your pet feels comfortable and secure in their own space. In my home, I maintain a calm, clean, and safe environment with plenty of attention, playtime, and enrichment. I focus on observing behavior, responding to each pet’s needs, and keeping you updated so you always know your pet is happy and well cared for.

“I have two cats that are very picky about who they will be around and I selected Eydid because their profile shows how passionate they are with cats. It was my first time using Rover or any sitter and I was definitely anxious about it. Eydid is amazing - he took the time to get to know my cats, sit with them, and play with them. They love Eydid and that says a lot! Eydid was very respectful of my home and provided me with great updates and pics & videos of the cats having fun. 10/10 would select again. In fact I already have booked Eydid for another session when I am traveling out of the country :D”

“I couldn’t recommend Net (Stephanie B) anymore! We went away for a few days for thanksgiving and left her with our 2 dogs, 3 cats, lizard, and chickens and she was absolutely fantastic. She followed our feeding walking directions perfectly and had excellent communication. Our house was left nicer than we left it and our pups were clearly happy and well taken care of. She even made sure to give them a walk before we got home so we could unpack and relax. Don’t hesitate, book Net!”

“Kathryn was flexible, responsive, and sent pictures which I appreciated while watching my two senior dogs for a late night house sitting. Would recommend!”
