“Margaret has been lovely! She has taken my pup for walks while i’m working long shifts. She is patient with my crazy high energy pup! She gives me updates on how the walks went and is very responsive! I can tell she is passionate about animals!”

About: Bachelor of Science in Veterinary Technology. Five years of recent pet sitting in the Plattsburgh, NY area. Solid references for that era. I never had children. Pets are my babies. Currently, I am working to help out friends with their farm. I am only beginning Rover now and am very flexible. Pet sitting is more of enjoyment than corporate employment. I can have a cat or a small dog stay with me in my apartment if that is something the owners are interested in. It's an apartment complex with really nice, dog-friendly grounds.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all ages and sizes. From basic training of puppies to elder care, hospice care and administering medication. I’m patient, kind and enjoy all energy levels. Whether they are movie & couch potato pups, prefer swimming at the river or playing ball in the meadow, I’m always excited to give them the best time they can have. I work a rotational schedule allowing me to have blocks of 3 weeks off at a time. During that time I am fully available for any pet care needs. have over 3 acres of woods & meadows for frolicking that back up to more wooded areas, I’m a short drive from two beautiful river walks or swimming (seasonal). I do have crates available if needed. I have a good selection of pet basic first aid and hygiene supplies.
“Lydia was really great with our nervous dog Blue. She was very pleasant to organize with, she was flexible and on time. Given how nervous he was, it was a miracle she was still able to give us some free time to watch our son's tennis match. She definitely has a lot of dog management skills and her calm nature made it easier for me to let him go despite his fear. I will definitely be booking more walks with Lydia in the future!”
“Alicia is the best! My boy loved her and she was very in tune with his needs. Her experience was valuable for me to learn from. He was so happy after his walk to have a special friend :)”

About: My house was always referred to as a “zoo” with all the different pets we had growing up. I had dogs, cats, ferrets, hamsters, guinea pigs, mice, birds, sheep, pigs, chickens.. the list goes on. Right now I have two dogs and 3 cats of my own. I previously worked full time at as an administrative assistant for a humane society, after having also volunteered there in my youth. I am a County Animal Response Team (CART) volunteer which required me to complete trainings in both emergency management and HazMat safety, helping me to be prepared, calm, and knowledgeable under pressure or in an emergency. I adopted my dog Tara (who you can see in my photos) while working at the humane society in 2024. I have had my heeler/border collie mix Rusty since he was a puppy in 2020. I have experience with couch potato dogs, and dogs like my own that want to be active around the clock. I have spent countless hours working with animals of many types, backgrounds, and needs, which helped me to understand they are really all unique in their own ways, and truly do have their own personalities, likes, and dislikes. I love meeting different animals and learning about what makes them unique! You can trust me with your pets. After some time away, I am now available again full time for pet care! I can do drop-ins or walks most times of day, early morning or late afternoon. My schedule is very flexible. I will follow specific care instructions should they be given. Extreme caution will be taken in caring for your pet, I understand how important the safety of your pet is, and would treat yours the same as all of my own, who mean the world to me.
About: My family have had rescue dogs since before I was born and I was raised around a variety of dogs of different temperaments and energy levels. I am comfortable with timid and reactive dogs and have trained my dogs to perform a variety of tricks. I work remotely and generally open availability, though I am not available on the weekends. I am ideal if your dog needs mid-day walks or company while you are away at work. I live with both cats and dogs and don't offer in-house pet sitting but am comfortable traveling to you to walk or watch your pet.
About: I have taken care of dogs, cats, even alpacas and horses! Since I was around 7 years old. I have a genuine love for all animals and would do anything to make sure they’re all loved! I have experience with senior dogs, who need special care and medication, as well as puppies, who need that time to get their extra energy out as well as doing some training for simple commands. I’ve also trained dogs to run or walk while biking and rollerblading I have also helped with toy and food aggressive and help families with dogs who are nervous around men to become more comfortable. I am currently working part time, so I have plenty of free time to housesit do check-ins, really whatever is needed and I can be available on short notice! Well, being in your home, I will always be very courteous and clean, making sure that myself and your animals are safe, comfortable and loved
About: I love being around animals and spending time with them. I find myself walking in the outdoors a lot which I would love to do with dogs! I currently work part time over the summer and I am also a full time college student. I am looking to care for more animals over the summer whenever needed. I am up to changing my availability at work to fit the needs of the animals I need to watch! I have a very large front and backyard that animals love. I have one dog and three cats that are all very friendly towards others.
About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and no one should ever have to worry about quality pet care while away. Call on me. I am plenty capable of being where I’m needed, at any time of day. Don’t feel like you don’t have options. I’m one call away. I am a responsible, respectful, private & compassionate person. I’m within the Massena area and willing to drive if needed. Just give me a call or text.
About: Hello! Animals have been my passion since I was a little girl. I have worked at a dog daycare for 3 years and now am currently working as a Tech at a Veterinary Clinic now going on for 5 years! I am so lucky to be surrounded by animals everyday and always learning new things about each and every animal. I would love to pet sit your furry friend and hopefully become a new best friend for them too! If you are military, I have base access as well! I am available weekdays and weekends.I would also be available to watch your pet at your home if needed ! I would love to chat about any days you may need and we can work out something :) I am available to help out with feeding, walking, giving medications and or just hanging out with your fur baby.
