“Excellent communication and very thorough during first meeting - even remembered to ask about medications (good thing since I neglected to mention it). Happy cat & guinea pig upon our return. Will definitely book again!”
“We were very happy when we moved to a new place and McKenna was able to look after our cat again. It gave us peace of mind knowing that our cat would be with someone familiar again. As usual, McKenna was very reliable, responsive and caring. It puts a smile on our face whenever we see the pictures she sends us when looking after our cat.”
“Heather took wonderful care of my very shy babies. She was sensitive to their needs and made friends with them slowly. She was also really great about communicating what was going on and helping me to feel safe as a pet parent!”
“Nicole did amazing!!! We were very nervous to leave Loki behind because he is very anxious and gets aggressive, but Nicole was very patient with him and took the time to make sure he was taken care of, no matter how stubborn our little guy got.”
About: I have had dogs growing up all my life. I am currently s bio (pre - vet) major with experience from internships in animal care. But its not just about the skills I’ve gathered, I have always genuinely cared about the animals around me! Whether they are pets, wild animals, etc. I’m currently working part time, so I have plenty of time to fit pet care into my schedule!! Other than Mondays and Wednesdays, my schedule is very flexible!! I have two friendly dogs. They are both elders so they need rest and cuddles more than anything. When they were younger and more active, we would play fetch and take walks around our neighborhood!
“Taylor was new to our two cats. Even though they were shy, she stayed to help them meet a new person. Taylor was very thoughtful to check the house for safety as well. I would definitely book Taylor again!”
“Keri was fantastic, and I am looking forward to rebooking with her. Highly professional, great communication, and lots of pet love. Also, she went above and beyond to help me out last minute.”
About: Hello! I'm the proud owner of two very friendly Catahoula-mixes who are always excited for some more canine company if you need somewhere to board your dog. For those with very energetic dogs, in addition to the standard 30-minute walks I also offer 60-minute runs/hikes for those who are located near to any outdoor trails. (I run marathons so I'm always glad for some four-legged company). I work from home and have a flexible schedule. I'm based in Spencertown but I'm originally from England where I also walked dogs - I'm that rare breed of international dog carer! Please note, for those looking to board at my home, I live in the woods on 16 acres. Due to the geography of our property we have no fenced in area - we just don't need one. We have 20 free range birds, a free-range pet pig and our two dogs - a lack of fence has never been a problem. Understandably though, for some owners and some dogs this setup is not a good fit. If you have any questions at all about any of my services, then please don't hesitate to get in touch. I look forward to hearing from you. I work from home and have a flexible schedule.

About: I've trained two dogs that I got when they were puppies. I currently have 1 dog and many chickens. I've watched dogs and cats in the past. I've also had cats, hamsters, fish, a rabbit, birds, guinea hens and chickens. I currently work from home most days. When I don't, I'm not gone for long. I prefer to be home if I'm pet sitting and that changes from time to time. My yard is fenced and blocked off on two sides. There is a field behind the house that's usually grass that's usually too tall for domestic animals to go into.

Alister A.
“Alister and I have been dog-walking together for years. And when I am away on holidays, he is always the one who looks after my Border Collie, Zeb. Being a Collie, Zeb needs lots of walks each day to keep him fit and healthy. Alister is one of the most chilled dudes ever with the patience of a saint to keep throwing Zeb's ball even when *surely* after an hour the game must be boring for Zeb by now! He's also great at keeping in touch, sending me little pics of Zeb via WhatsApp when I am away which is great for me and just keeping a check on my house too which is super helpful and gives me peace of mind.”
