“Mark & Sylva were great hosts for my dog when we needed a few hours of care while my son toured a nearby college. They were welcoming and kind and did a great job with her. I'd happily book again if we're in Troy in the future. Thank you!”


“Cheryle is great! She sent pictures during the day which made us feel very comfortable that our dog was nice and relaxed and enjoys being with Cheryle and her dog. Her house is set up very nice and the backyard too. I would highly recommend Cheryle!”


“We wanted our pup to get more socializing during the day while we are at work and Maegan turned out to be perfect. She is very responsive, flexible with our drop off and pick up times, and very trustworthy. Her and her family are also very kind and sweet and they make a great home for our pup to enjoy during the day. They have a dog of their own and she watches other dogs on occasion as well and everyone gets along great because of Maegan. We can’t thank her enough for how she cares for our dog.”


“Accommodated a last minute booking. Great communication. Home well suited for dogs and dog-focused. Roxy seemed quite happy when we picked her up.”


“Stephanie was amazing! Very communicative and got back to me fast. She has a great yard for the dogs to be in. I also appreciated that she understood the nuances of senior dogs. If I was back up in the area I would use Stephanie again.”


“My dog loved Phelan from the first moment they met! She took excellent care of her. She’s also convenienly located in downtown Troy! She took her for a walk in the park. I’m very happy to find her and I totally recommend Phelan!”


“Laura was really responsive to all of my questions leading up to the first sitting, which was only set up the day before. She communicated throughout the whole day sending pictures and videos to make sure we were comfortable and knew how Willa was doing. I would definitely schedule dog sitting with Laura in the future!”

About: I would be taking care of your fur baby with my partner who loves pets as much as I do. I’ve had dogs all throughout my life so I love being around them. I love playing and taking care of them no matter the size or breed any dog is a friend of mine.Plus 2 great sitters for your lovely pet what’s better than that❤️ Open availability at the moment.

“She was attentive and sent pictures of the walk and playing with both doggies”


“Madeline (and Sam!) made sure Patch felt right at home. I appreciated her care for him and the fenced yard the boys had to play in together was perfect. Nice tall fence so no “mama fears” of possible fence jumping. Madeline provides a nice safe space and Sam provided Patch with plenty of exercise (and vice versa I think!)”


“Emily is one of the most caring and responsible people you will ever meet. She loved and took care of my pup as if it were her own and I never worried a minute with having my dog in her care - and my pup looked forward to visits from Aunt Emily! Sadly we no longer live in the same city so I can't count on her dog-sitting anymore, but my loss is your gain!”

“Ripley had a wonderful day with Kristine and Flynn! My girl (and myself) has some anxiety quirks, but between Kristine and her husband being such genuine pet loving people, and how great Flynn is with other dogs, it was truly a wonderful experience. Ripley was happy and pooped when she came home! We look forward to our next daycare and sleepover. Thank you so much again, Kristine!”

About: I was born in Washington DC raised in New York city, currently reside in Albany NY. I am free spirited and an adventurous woman. I spend most of my free time outdoors engaging with Mother Nature. I am a part time housekeeper, and have a passion for holistic health and wellness. I embrace qualities of compassion, warmheartedness, authenticity, accountability and am told by many that I emit a strong sense of nurture. This speaks in volumes with my interaction with animals. I have a tender heart for all walks of life and especially love surrounding myself with animal companions. I had a lifetime of experience in caring for my own animals and the past, as well as several years of professional pet-sitting/dog-walking for friends, family, and community. I have volunteered at various animal shelters and have worked alongside trainers so I have a few training skills up my sleeve. Know that your animals will be in good hands... undoubtedly spoiled with TLC and outdoor adventures!
