Pet Sitting Arbor Hill

About: I've been taking care of animals for as long as I can remember, and I have experience with dogs and cats of all kinds. I have a deep respect for all animals, including those that are shy or have special needs, and I'm committed to giving every animal the care they deserve. I'm available on most weekends and holidays. I occasionally have weekdays open as my work schedule allows and I will have Fridays available for part of the summer. When introducing myself I allow the animal to approach me first, I take things slow if they're shy or nervous. I'm familiar with dog and cat body language so I can recognize signs of stress. When walking dogs I'm always aware of my surroundings and will adjust the route if I need to.

“Sara did an incredible job caring for Nala. She made sure she got her medication and food, as well as plenty of good conversation in. Highly recommended!”

“I left my nervous cat Squeaky alone in the house when I had to travel to eastern Massachusetts for five days, but I knew I didn't need to worry about a thing. Hannah is a professional and understood exactly what I needed her to do with the electric water fountain and litter box, and a gravity-feed kibble dispenser. She knows how well Squeaky responds to treats, so she hid some around to keep my cat busy sniffing them out. I appreciate Hannah's flexibility with her visit times, too. Highly recommended! Ken.”

“Miranda is so sweet and her updates are incredible. Knowing she was looking after my cat made me feel so much more comfortable about leaving.”

About: For a year, I walked my neighbor's Cavalier King Charles spaniel while she was recovering from a hip injury, until she could walk better. She and her daughter greatly appreciated my help and have said to me that their dog Cooper has been so much happier ever since he met me. I am a college student that goes to school 5 days a week from 7am to 2 pm. I can do early morning walks before 7am since I am a morning person, and I can do walks or come over after class. I am free on most weekends. I am free most of the time in the summer from June to August. I cannot bring pets into my home since I have two cats that are not very pet-friendly. But I can do all the care you need me to do at your house.

“Maria was thorough and so sweet with my cat! Local and affordable :-D”

“Amanda was great! We wanted the dogs to get exercise and be tired and she did just that: played fetch the whole time! She has an Aussie herself so we had no doubts she knew what she was doing. Will definitely book again!”

Nha H.

“Very professional! I did not have time to meet her in person before the holiday, but she was very pleasant and kind over a video chat! She kept my little kitty very happy and I am glad to have booked her”

“Sophia did an amazing job watching my 2 dogs! She sent detailed updates, lots of photos, and went above and beyond to make sure they felt comfortable while I was gone for 10 days. She maintained a high level of communication and I never had to worry. I highly recommend her for taking care of any pet you need!”

“Katharine went above and beyond taking such great care of Kitty! Would definitely recommend”

“Our cats and I were talking and we are very happy with the care Kim provided! Kim was caring and loving, giving them plenty of playtime and attention. She kept us updated with photos and messages, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. She was responsive to any concerns we might encounter, as well as adapting to misunderstanding. What really stood out was her ability to adapt to our instructions and solve problems on her own without hesitation. She even went above and beyond by keeping the house clean, even though it wasn’t part of her duties. We highly recommend Kim to anyone looking for a responsible, compassionate, and dedicated pet sitter. She truly exceeded our expectations!❤️🐱 P.s. Pumpkin is always loud”

“Patrick and Opie bonded from the moment they met! Patrick is very responsible and his love of dogs and warmth came right through. Thank you Patrick!”

Sharon B.

“Debra was fantastic! Our first time using Rover and we couldn’t be happier with Debra. She came over to meet our dogs earlier this week and was wonderful with them both, especially one who loves to bark. She is very kind and caring and can really see she loves animals. We felt very comfortable with her. She fit us in last minute and we so appreciated that. She came in on time, sent us adorable pictures, even cleaned their food bowls! We for sure will have Debra again in the future 🥰”

Michele L.

“Laney did a great job stopping in to take care of my cat! Did exactly what I asked. I didn’t have to worry while I was away as I knew my cat was in good hands. Will definitely be re-booking!”

Annie Y.

“Bradley did a great job following the instructions during the visits with detail. I was impressed with how he handled my dog being over 100 pounds by establishing himself as a friendly presence before interactions. Highly recommend this young man for future opportunities.”

About: Albany area, Open to long stays as well as short. I work M-F in office but love to stay home on the weekends. I’ve have taken care of small and big dogs since I was 15. I love to play fetch and keeping them company when they’re lonely and missing their parents. I just moved over to Albany from California and currently have all the free time in the world. I am trying to get to know the city more by walking around with dogs. It’s great as I can also get my steps in and your pets will be all tuckered out when you get home. I live alone in a one bedroom so they have decent amount of space to roam around. I also live right next to SUNY so I can always take them out for a breath of fresh air or if they want a longer jog, Lincoln Park is right around the corner.

About: I’ve cared for family dogs and cats for years and have always loved being around animals. I grew up with both a dog and cats, so I’m very comfortable with pets of all kinds and personalities. Friends and family often ask me to help out when they’re away, whether it’s feeding, walking, or spending time keeping their pets company. I truly enjoy caring for animals and making sure they feel safe, loved, and happy.i I work Monday-Friday evenings in the hospital. I am available every weekday morning and afternoon and after work as well. Weekends I am free all day! When I do drop in visits, I make sure your pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. I’ll clean litter boxes, refresh water, and make sure they’re well fed and played with before I leave. For walks, I always pay close attention to their comfort and safety while giving them plenty of time to explore and get their energy out. I treat every pet like my own and make sure they get the love and attention they deserve while you’re away.

“Great sitter! Would definitely book again”

About: I’ve taken care of many pets in my life as I used to live on a farm growing up. I treat them all as if they’re my kids. I have a part time job as a nurse at a nursing home and I have two children in the home but over the ages of 15, other than that I have no young kids or other pets. I have a fenced yard with plenty of room to play! As well I have a park 2 mins from my home that I can take any pet I’m caring for.
