“Greg is the best!! My two dogs can be shy with new people but they instantly warmed up to him and they come back from their walks so happy! He's very punctual and goes the extra mile to make the pups happy!”

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.

“Ashlyn is AMAZING !! My dogs LOVE her !! Love the reports and pics..... first time using Rover and will DEF call on Ashlyn again !! Thank you !!”

About: I have had dogs all of my life, as many as 3 at a time and they've always been part of the family. I have experience with dogs of all sizes. Even when I've had a fenced in yard I still walk my dogs daily, just for the engagement. I love getting involved in dog sports and dog training and will play fun games with your pets. I work from home most days so your dogs will have lots of attention and lots of love. On days that I am in office, I am still available mid day for walks, feeding, etc. My dog eats 2x per day so I'm always home at breakfast and dinner times. I treat dogs in my home like part of the family. You can expect daily exercise, some light training if desired, and lots of love, I can accommodate special diets. i do have my own dog in the house so supervised play is possible for the right dog, but I am also experienced with keeping reactive or introverted dogs separated. Please let me know anything that will make your dog's stay comfortable. You can expect that we will play lots of enrichment games and will have fun outdoor time with balls, frisbees and toys.

About: 🐾 I’m absolutely obsessed with cats—and honestly, that’s the biggest reason I’m here. Rover isn’t just a side thing for me… I genuinely love spending time with cats and getting to know all their unique personalities. At home, I care for three cats of my own, so I understand everything from playtime energy to quiet, independent moods. I’m also known locally as a stray cat feeder and caretaker, and I always keep cat food in my car—because you truly never know when a hungry kitty might need help. Caring for animals isn’t something I “turn on”—it’s just part of who I am every day. While cats are my specialty, I’ve recently been spending more time around dogs as well and have become increasingly comfortable and confident with them. I’m patient, attentive, and quick to adapt to different temperaments, whether your pet is energetic, shy, or somewhere in between. When you trust me with your pet, you’re getting someone who is: ✔️ Reliable & responsive ✔️ Gentle, patient, and detail-oriented ✔️ Experienced with multiple-cat households ✔️ Truly passionate about animal care I’ll treat your pet like they’re my own—with love, respect, and close attention to their needs. Whether it’s feeding, playtime, medication, or just keeping them company, I’ve got it covered. I’m also very flexible and able to travel, so feel free to reach out with whatever you need—I’m happy to make it work!! Pet care fits perfectly into my routine. I recently bought a house here in Albany, so it’s just me and my studies now — which means I have plenty of time and flexibility to devote to caring for your cats. As a law student, my classes are only on Mondays and Wednesdays, so the rest of the week I’m fully available to spend quality time making sure your cat (or cats!) get the love, attention, and care they need. In a client’s home, I focus on keeping your cat’s routine consistent and stress-free. That means fresh food and water on schedule, a clean litter box, and plenty of playtime and affection — whether that’s cuddles, brushing, or just quiet company if your cat prefers space. I always make sure to respect your home, follow your instructions closely, and send regular updates so you know your pet is happy and safe. If I’m welcoming a cat into my own home, I create a calm, cozy environment with safe spaces for them to explore or retreat to, depending on their personality. I treat every cat as if they were my own — with patience, attentiveness, and lots of love.

About: I am an active animal lover experienced caring for both older dogs and puppies, even at the same time. I have experience giving meds and helping pets with limited mobility. Puppy training experience too! Cats and pocket pets also welcome. I rescue dogs as a volunteer, and pets are my passion! Included: brushing, medication administration, hiking, kongs, potty training, basic command training for puppies. If desired, I can include a play date with my border collie, too. Young Dog: 2 hikes a day and midday play session. Older Dog: 2 walks as mobility allows. Or 2 big snuggle sessions with brushing and meds. I am a teacher off for the summer and available for house sitting, drop ins, and dog hiking. I have my own dogs cared for by my family at home, so I can arrange for playdates! I follow the rules you set out and keep to the routine your dog is used to. I use positive reinforcement training only, and I have no problem with leash pulling, prey drive etc. I work with these issues using training treats as approved by you!

“Vicky did daytime walks with our dog Darla while we were on vacation. She did a fantastic job with getting Darla outside as she's been having some anxiety lately about getting out the door. Vicky was also super flexible when Darla was having some diarrhea later in the week and adding on some potty breaks last minute. She got some super cute pictures of our girl as well! I would not hesitate to book Vicky again for walks with Darla!”

“Jessica went above and beyond for Daisy! She was so patient and understanding of our shelter dog's need for slow intros and some extra support learning to walk politely on the leash. She was super communicative and took care to follow all the instructions we gave her. We recommend her highly to anyone who needs walking/petsitting services!”

About: Growing up with dogs and taking care of the neighborhood dogs I'm no stranger to the amount of attention a fur baby needs. With a BA in Zoology and over 3 years of professional care with dogs I can't wait to meet your family! My day job at doggy camp keeps me pretty busy but I can't wait to hang with your fur baby on my days off! Your animals boundaries are my top priority. It is important to me that your fur baby and I can create a relationship where they look forward to my visits. Every animal builds trust differently and there's no rush

“Best dog walker ever.”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs of all kinds from age 10. I love what I do so much Ive decided to make it a career. I used to work at a doggy daycare so I have lots of experience with all times of dogs! I also have experience doing lots of nail trims and baths! I’m not working at the moment which means I’m home all day everyday and that means your pup gets the attention they deserve and more! There are lots of dog parks and hiking areas around my location so your furry friend will have lots of outside time to tire them out. I also have plenty of dog toys and treats inside in case we can’t go out.
