“Jose came to the rescue while we were on vacation after our house sitter had a difficult encounter while walking our very sweet, but dog reactive, Great Dane Charlie. Charlie loved his walks with Jose”

“I highly recommend Miranda. I have a slow to warm up quirky dog. She took the time for him to feel comfortable with her before taking him out. She has been a reliable & excellent dog walker.”

“Alexandra has been walking my dog for the past three months, and she has been absolutely wonderful. She is attentive, warm, and truly cares about the dogs she works with. My dog adores her! Her communication is excellent, and the photos she sends are always amazing. I couldn’t ask for a better dog walker.”

About: I’ve done overnight and day visits with dogs and cats for years and do multiple days during the week now for a family member. I work well with large and small dogs. I am available all days of the week and have a very flexible class schedule so can easily fit in a visit with your pup! I am available for overnights every night as well! I have babysat for people who have both fenced and non fenced yards so I can easily work with leash using dogs. I myself have much experience with stubborn and large dogs on leashes so can handle tough pups!

“Very communicative and helpful!”

About: I am absolutely obsessed with cats and I feel like I do Rover more so because I love interacting with other cats. It’s not even a side hustle :) Should you need me, I’m reliable, efficient, caring, and will treat your cat like he or she is mine. I can also travel anywhere so just let me know whatever is needed. 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.

“Our dog has lived with several major changes in the last 2 months. That, combined with the 95 degree heat wave this weekend have made him a little reluctant to leave me and go outside. Maddie was very good with him and got him out for a walk. I was surprised they stayed out as long as they did. I would definitely use her again.”

“Ellie has been an absolute godsend for me and my pup! Moose absolutely loves their walks and gets so excited whenever she comes. She is wonderful with him and keeps him active and always takes fun routes!”

About: Hello! My name is Maggie and I’ve worked with animals in many capacities for over a decade. I personally own a large and in charge dog so I am familiar with strong personalities and reactivity. I own an electric dog treadmill and am happy to provide indoor mental stimulation time to dogs that are more sensitive to the environment, whether that’s due to weather or overstimulation. I’m always happy to meet new pups and follow owner guidelines to a T when it comes to behavioral challenges. I am most often available for walking and drop-in visits on a daily basis. It brightens my day to be able to add extra pets into my life. I love doing overnights whenever possible too though! Whether in my own home or yours, I am adamant about keeping normal routines and structure as best I can. I am comfortable adapting to the dog’s needs and communicating with owners if something isn’t going exactly right.

About: Friends and family members have trusted me to care for their furry loved ones for as long as I can remember. Our furry friends deserve just as much love and care as we do. I work from home three days out of the week, so I am able to care for pets during the day. I am also incredibly available throughout the weekends and each weeknight. I maintain a consistent daily routine for feeding, potty breaks, and playtime to keep pets feeling secure and comfortable. I keep clients updated with photos and updates on their pets' well-being, so they can feel confident that their furry friend is in good hands. I create a pet-friendly environment with plenty of space for pets to roam, play, and relax. I ensure all areas are pet-proofed and free from hazards. Pets receive lots of attention, playtime, and cuddles. I offer enrichment activities like toys and outdoor walks.

“Debra made me feel comfortable immediately! She is very good and trustworthy.”

About: I have been working in animal and the dog sitting space since 2020. I have managed a range of pets from rats all the way through dogs. I have worked with sick animals before (administering diabetes shots, cleaning wounds and stitches) and am comfortable doing that moving forward. I have worked with many dogs at a time (up to three) many times in my career. I have also worked with nervous and reactive dogs as well. Overall I really have seen it all. I work a standard 9-5. That being said I work from home every other week, so depending on the week I can spend much more time in the home and provide more supervision. I love to be active so making time for walks and outside time will always be a priority. With weekends off I can spend those full days with your precious pet. I ensure that your pet is healthy, happy and comfortable. I let them become used to me and work around them. This is their space a they should feel safe there.

About: I love love dogs and cats and any animals. I will make sure your pets are very well taken care of ! I’ve watched plenty of dogs and cats before with the utmost care. I guarantee your pet will be safe in my care. I’m currently working part time on the weekend and a full time college student! I’m mostly free and during weekdays I’m more free on Mondays through Thursdays I have a fenced backyard and no animals in the home. Any requests I will happily take into consideration such as if you need me to crate , wash , etc your pet.

“Elena was wonderful. She was kind and patient and kind with Emmie who is sometimes challenging to walk since she gets so excited. I would definitely use Elena again if I have a need.”

“Bradley is a terrific walker. He is attentive to my dog’s needs and diligent with the daily schedule. He promptly communicates throughout each walk and is very caring for my pooch. Without hesitation, I highly recommend Bradley.”

“Kateri is amazing! I needed to come into town at the last minute for a court appearance, and she was able to cheerfully meet me and my dog in front of the courthouse and take him on a fantastic outing. She had a plan to take him on a nature walk, which was far better than anything I could’ve imagined for him. He came back nicely, tuckered out and snoozed in the back of the car the whole drive home.”
