House Sitting in Bloomingdale

“Lena did a great job with or 2 cats and 3 dogs including a dog with a developmental disability! We got lots of pictures while we were away including some with the tell tale blurred tail. Proof positive of wagging tails. All are pets are rescues, one recent Finn, who is still learning to trust new people. She passed the Finn test with flying colors!”

“Julia was awesome with Isaac and kept me updated throughout the day with pictures and messages. I felt very comfortable with her immediately and will absolutely reach out to her again with future bookings! I also want to note how accommodating she was - arriving at 5:30am so I could get to an important meeting. I so appreciate her punctuality and ability to take in Isaac’s care plan so quickly. Isaac is a shy rescue and it takes a special person for him to warm up so quickly. Thank you, Julia!”

“Shelby was an incredible sitter to have in our home with our pets. We feel confident that she gave our dog a lot of time and attention. Both outside being active and snuggled up inside! Our cat has been known to be picky and sometimes hides upstairs when we have guests. So we were extra happy when Shelby sent pictures of her hanging out & being social while we were away. Meeting Shelby ahead of our trip is what sealed the deal. I could just feel that she was the right match and would happily spend time with our babies. She knew the right questions to ask so she would be successful following their routine, and giving the level of care we were looking for. We’re thrilled to have found her and would recommend to all! Shelby was sure to reach out daily to report that all was well, asked questions, and shared whatever enjoyable moment had most recently happened. Seeing the pictures regularly made us feel at ease with her there. Shelby even handled our kitchen sink backing up, and made sure it wasn’t a bigger and more immediate issue. It was a joy to return home and see that it was just as clean if not cleaner than we left it :)”

About: I've taken care of neighbors cats and dogs since middle school in my hometown. I've grown up with pets my whole life and greatly understand their needs and the responsibilities associated with pet care. I’m a clear and responsive communicator and will always listen to how you want your pet cared for. I also enjoy going for runs and hikes, so if your dog has a lot of energy, we will get along well! I’m excited to meet your pet(s)! I am able to do overnights with pets and can visit them during mornings, midday, and nights. I can take last minute bookings. I work a flexible schedule during the week. I make sure to assess the comfortability of the animal before settling into the house. I try to keep it a quiet atmosphere until the animal feels comfortable being around me. I make sure that they are my priority and I give them full attention given that they're most likely stressed. I will respect the owners house and belongings.

“Trustworthy and meticulous, Karen spent five days with my two big labs and gave them endless love and attention. Since we have no fence, she had to leash and walk the dogs a lot, and modify for the old limpy dog versus the young bouncy one. She left my house looking beautiful and even did the laundry! I want her back next time I'm going out of town.”

“Emily was a fantastic dog/house sitter!! She sent updates/photos of our Pup, was very responsive and professional, and left our house cleaner than when we left! We would not hesitate to book with Emily again!”

“Carolyn took great care of all of our pets. I really appreciated the text and photo updates, and the critters were all content when we came home. Will definitely book her again the next time we take a trip!”

“Eliza took good care of my dog and house while I was gone for a week-long work trip. She is responsible and communicates well. I would recommend her to others and would ask her to dog sit again in the future!”

“Alli took wonderful care of our sensitive and temperamental pup for an evening while we were visiting LP. She was patient and loving with him and was a great communicator. Bowie loves his new friend and we are so grateful!”

About: I’ve helped take care of my family’s Australian Labradoodle, Penny, ever since we got her, 5 years ago. In these past couple years I’ve facilitated dozens of “doggy play dates” (communal dog walking and play time at dog parks and backyards) with dogs of all different sizes. I am very comfortable and confident with all types of dogs, and often dog sit and dog walk for friends and neighbors when they are out of town. I currently live in Burlington and am free on weekends and after 5pm MWF and after 6pm Tuesday and Thursday. I am able to spend as much time as needed with your pets if it makes you, or them, more comfortable! I’m comfortable caring for pets in new environments. I can crate, feed, walk, and play with your animals, and will be clean and respectful to your space and home.

“Shauna was fantastic with Fred & Mojo - came over earlier in the week to meet them and do a practice run pilling the cat (which is ALWAYS a challenge for someone who she doesn't know). So great to have someone who really cares take care of your pets.”

About: I have a full range of animal history and care. I have chosen dogs to accommodate and love unconditionally when you must be away from your best friend! I offer a variety of animal care and services, including one on one to fun play sessions for pets with like personalities. I am confident we can find what is necessary and essential for each unique situation. We don’t have problems we specialize in solutions together! I am currently retired and found a way to incorporate exercise and love for animals in a great combination for both myself and our furry faces. I travel regularly to render my time and care for others pets in many locations. I have many opportunities and accommodations to suit each unique dog situation. I am willing to follow pet owners regiment to almost an exact replica if possible. Let’s talk a see how I can help make the transition stress free when you must be apart. I travel to accommodate situations necessary.

“Michelle was so kind and personable. I loved that she came to the meet and greet for our housesitting with a pen and notepad! She was a pro at giving our husky his meds, the house was left clean, and she was easy to communicate with while we were gone. Thanks, Michelle!”

“Rachel was incredibly sweet with my dog when he was sick. She stayed with him for a day and kept me updated on how he was doing. She was respectful in my home and left everything as she found it. I would be very happy to have her watch Wotan again!”

About: I've owned a dog ever since I was 12 years old. Dogs have gotten me through the best and worst parts of my life. I have a background in physical therapy and massage and for years I enjoyed bringing my dog to work every day, she became the nursing home mascot, seeing the joy she brought to both my patients and coworkers made every day at work a great day :). I work in Saranac Lake and Lake Placid as an independent contractor. My work schedule/hours can be very flexible/adjusted accordingly as long as I have advanced notice to plan accordingly. I live on 4.5 acres with a long driveway set back from the road. My property backs up to a wooded trail network. I also have a very large, gated Freedom Fenced in dog play area on my property. Dogs are free to all areas of home without restriction. Unfortunately, my husband and I are allergic to cats so I am unable to board them. I do have a 3 year old daughter, so if boarding, pet must be good around children. I also do not board or provide in home services for dogs that are exposed to smoking or vaping of any kind. Please note; when providing pet care services, I will never leave a dog unsupervised, or under the care of anyone other than myself.

“Jess watched our dog and cat for the first time over the weekend. She let us know when she arrived and sent a photo. She was responsive to our texts so we felt comfortable being away.”

About: I’m a fur mama of one 85lb , 3 year old mush who is hyper, energetic , and very needy. I love taking him on walks, to the beach, and anywhere he can go to get his energy out. My fiancé and I are planning our dream wedding and I would love to offer pet care in your house ( or mine if your dog or dog friendly) . I would love to give someone the opportunity to go on vacation without the Warriors of their pet being lonely or not getting the attention they deserve. I’m well experienced in dogs of all breeds and sizes and emotional/ physical needs. I am a teacher Monday- Friday but have weekends and summers off. I can be there before and after school, as well. Weekends I am free. I want to offer your pet lots of love, care and engagement while you are traveling. I try to keep them on their normally scheduled routine and work with the pet parent to make sure they are comfortable or have any special requests.
