Cat Sitting in Berne

“We are so thankful we found Alyssa! She is just amazing with our animals. She is extremely thorough with details of caring for them. She truly went above and beyond and was very responsible. We were so at ease while we were away knowing our animals were in such good hands and would highly recommend her!”

About: Our house has been filled with rescues for the last 30 years. We have always tried to help them adjust to their new surroundings by providing lots of belly rubs and chin scratches. We have always tried to make our fur-babies feel as if they were part of the family. I am centrally located between Colonie, Guilderland and Albany. I have lots of time to care for your little ones whenever your pets need that little extra something until you return. I have a fenced in yard and a loveable pup to keep your dog company. We have a seperate fenced in area in case your pup needs their own space.

About: I’ve been an animal lover all my life❤️ I have been catsitting and dog walking since I was around 13 years old! I bring a calm, attentive, and nurturing presence to every pet I care for. I have experience caring for both energetic young pets who need structure and consistency, as well as senior pets who benefit from a gentler pace and close monitoring. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions, administering oral medications if needed (I have 3 cats and 2 of them require medications themselves so I already do this daily!) and maintaining routines so your pet feels safe and secure while you’re away. I’ll keep you updated with thoughtful check-ins, photos, and honest updates so you can relax knowing your pet is in capable hands. I work full time from 7:30 AM to 2:30 PM, Monday through Friday. I am available for dog walks and drop-in visits before 7:30 AM and anytime after 2:30 PM on weekdays. I’m also available on weekends with advance notice. I strive to be flexible when possible and am happy to discuss specific scheduling needs to ensure your pet receives consistent, reliable care. I provide attentive, reliable care for pets in the comfort of their own home. I understand how important it is for animals to stay in their familiar environment and maintain their usual routine while you’re away. During drop-in visits, I can let your dog out for bathroom breaks, provide fresh food and water, administer oral medications if needed, and ensure they get appropriate exercise and playtime. I’m also comfortable crating dogs when required and following any specific household or training routines you have in place. For cats and other pets, I handle litter box cleaning, feeding and companionship tailored to their personality and comfort level. I always aim to leave your home just as I found it and will send detailed updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.

About: I have over 15 years of hands-on pet care experience working with a wide range of breeds, including high-energy and working line dogs. I currently own a German Shepherd, Belgian Malinois, and Husky. I’m an active hiker and runner, and love giving dogs both mental and physical enrichment. Whether your pup needs structured exercise, calm companionship, or just a fun adventure, I provide a safe, positive, and reliable environment. Your dog will be treated like family and cared for with experience and genuine love. I work full-time during the week, but I’m available Friday, Saturday, and Sunday for pet care. Whether your dog needs walks, hikes, runs, training sessions, house sitting, or boarding I’m happy to help. Weekends are when I have the most time and energy to give your pet my full attention, care, and activity. During the week depending on times requested! Your dog’s safety and comfort always come first. I can care for your pup either in your home or at mine. I have three well-trained dogs who are friendly and social—your dog is welcome to play with them if that’s something you’re comfortable with. If you prefer a quieter or individual environment, I can also crate and rotate dogs to ensure your pup has safe, stress-free time and space. I live just five minutes from a local park, which is perfect for walks, exercise, and outdoor enrichment. Whether it’s playtime, relaxed company, or structured activity, I’ll make sure your dog feels secure, stimulated, and cared for like family.

“Monica was so caring and sweet with our dog. She was very communicative with detailed updates and photos. She went above and beyond, also caring for our chickens and collecting their eggs while we were gone. It gave us such a peace of mind knowing that Monica was taking such good care of our animals!”

“Petra is an amazing and loving dog sitter. She helped my family take care of our 3 dogs during the month of March. Petra played fetch with our dogs, walked them down to our stream, and took care of our cavalier’s eyes. She really went above & beyond with our pups, she sent tons of pictures during all of her visits. We are so grateful to find her! We would highly recommend Petra to anyone needing animal services. She is wonderful and so caring! She even let our chickens out as well!”

“Megan is wonderful! You can tell she loves what she does and my dog so enjoys spending time with her. It makes being away from my fur baby much easier.”

About: My enthusiasm for pets is more then I can say in words. I look forward to making sure your furry friend is safe and happy I love lists and routines. Before watching your pet: I want to make sure I have all the info- anything I would possibly need to know. Keeping your pet safe is my upmost priority! I am a college student, which does allow for some flexibility. That being said I do appreciate advanced notice if you’re able to give it. How I care for a pet in a client’s home is completely dependent on the client. I am flexible and reasonable, and will ask questions so I can best care for your pet.

“Jayden is great! She even came during a snowstorm to check in on my chickens. I highly recommend her and I am happy with her dedication to caring for my chickens!”

“Great attention to detail and willing to go the extra mile! Brandy did a great job with my cat, even though he is very picky about people who manage his care. Highly recommend!”

“Sage is a very caring and responsible sitter. My cat Gidgit loves when Sage comes to play and take care of her. I will definitely book with Sage in the future.”

“Sue was available in a pinch over Thanksgiving break, on the holiday itself, to help. Our dogs were happy and taken care of with no issues, we received pictures and texts about their well being and are happy to rebook with Sue first whenever we need to in the future if she’s available! Highly recommend for a no worry, no hassle vacation pet care taker. 10/10 in my book! 📖🐾 ♥️🐈‍⬛”

About: I am a 28 year old wife and mom to one baby, one dogs and a cat. I have ample experience with training animals, as I trained my two dogs, one whom passed and one who is now 8, on my own and am in the process of training my 2 year old cat. I am skilled in senior animal care, as I grew up with Labrador’s my entire life who required senior and end of life care, such as diapering and mobility. One of my dogs has a chronic illness, which has made me trained in medication management and administration to ensure he remains healthy. My pets are my whole world, so you can know that in my care your pets will never be without attention and love! While I am busy with my own family, I can make myself available any day and any time to give your animals attention and love! As I am the primary caregiver to my child, I will have him with me for walking. However, he will be strapped to my chest in a carrier and unable to directly interact with your pet, unless you tell me it’s okay! I currently live in an apartment, but my dog is walked multiple times a day for extended periods to allow him to explore the world and get some energy out! This would be the same with your pets. My cat is consistently entertained, and I usually spend a great chunk of my nights wearing him out.

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’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!

About: Hello, my name is Kaylee. I am new to rover but not new to pet sitting. I have been cat sitting for a family for 7 years and dog sitting/ house sitting for people for about 5 years. I have met some great people and pets along the way. I work until 4:30 most days and I am free on most weekends. I am available to check in on animals on weekends and weekdays after 4:30! I prefer to care for pets in the client's home but I would be open to caring for small pets in my home if needed.

About: I love all animals so much I will do anything to protect your fur baby and keep them safe! I have some experience with puppies and lots of experience with older dogs! I have pet sat multiple times, taken dogs on walks and outside to play! Pet care fits into my daily routine because I have lots of time on my hands, my mornings are typically free as well as my afternoons I will keep your pet safe in your home by double checking any locks on crates, doors, or fences I will have eyes on your fur baby at all times to make sure nothing happens to them!

“Macy took great care of our giant fur baby! It was our first time away from him, and she helped to keep him happy and even made sure that he had his prescription medicine. We had peace of mind knowing her expertise from her work experience and kindness with animals. She was great with communication, sending pictures and updates. We felt totally comfortable with her caring for our pup and will definitely book with her again in the future.”

“Very quick with communication and did everything I asked!”
