About: I have been a veterinary assistant and technician for 12 years. I am happy to offer drop-ins for dogs, cats, and other pets - healthy, or those with medical care or special treatments needed. Located in Albany I am a self-employed artist who can fit drop-in visits any day or time throughout the year. I offer services nights and holidays as well. I have been a veterinary medical professional for years and a pet owner my entire life. I offer special care for medical pets, special needs pets, and any pet you think may need more care than a normal sitter can provide.

“This was my second time booking Jessica to take care of my cat. She did a great job and I came home to a happy cat and clean apartment! Thanks so much!”
About: I have had dogs since the day I was born and wouldn't want it any other way! Family and friends have relied on me to care for their pets for years, and they have been confident in my abilities as a former employee at a 24-hour emergency animal hospital. I'm experienced working with a variety of breeds and temperaments, including reactive dogs with behavioral challenges. I am well versed in force-free positive reinforcement methods. Professionally I work as an epidemiologist, so you can also be sure I am taking all health and safety precautions! I am also available most afternoons/evenings and on weekends. I can drop in for walks and to spend time with pups in your home during these times too! I do everything I can to keep your pet comfortable and stress-free! Being the owner of a reactive dog I understand how important it is to mantain a schedule, enforce training, and take safety precautions. I have a firm understanding of animal body language and knowledge of how to behave around dogs of all temperaments!
“Jaden was friendly, kind, and very attentive. I loved all the photos and updates she sent while I was away. She is fantastic (and my cat agrees)!”
About: Hello everyone, I am Victoria! I’ve been caring for animals since childhood as I grew up on a decent amount of acreage with three German shepherds and chickens. And my adulthood, I find myself loving animals of all levels of care. I work locally at the hospital and I would love to become your pet sitter or walker. My specialty would be with larger dogs, but I absolutely do not discriminate! All of my dogs have passed and I’ve gotten high marks in their training sessions and I would love to work with your dog if there’s something specific you had in mind. I have had four dogs at one time in my apartment, and time management as well as energy has made for very easily scheduling of their needs. Playtime is just as important as training time and I will ensure that your pet gets both if that is what you were looking for. My eyes will always be on your loved ones. As a multiple dog owner, I have had dogs with different diets and also dogs that liked getting into things; all of which were avoided by paying close attention and setting my dogs up for success, aka removing the obstacle in question. I have a keen eye for detail and I would never let anything happen to your animals (I would treat them as my own & protect them of course)!
About: I’ve been around dogs since I was a baby and have always loved them. Growing up with dogs in the home taught me how to care for them with patience and attention. Friends, family, and neighbors trust me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets. I treat every dog like family and always make sure they feel safe and loved. I currently work part-time, which allows me the flexibility to provide consistent and attentive care throughout the week. I’m available on most weekdays and weekends, and I’m committed to making sure your pet receives reliable care and companionship during your time away. I provide a clean, calm, and pet-friendly environment where your dog can feel safe and cared for. I’m attentive to each pet’s unique needs and make sure they feel comfortable and secure at all times. I follow any care instructions closely and always treat pets with patience, love, and respect, as if they were my own.

She took time to understand his personality, his needs, and his little quirks, which meant the world to me. It’s rare to find someone so genuinely dedicated and trustworthy. Knowing he was in such capable and caring hands gave me complete peace of mind. Onose is someone you can truly rely on, and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible, compassionate, and loving pet caregiver.”
