Pet Sitting & Drop Ins In Central Avenue

About: I've been taking care of animals for as long as I can remember, and I have experience with dogs and cats of all kinds. I have a deep respect for all animals, including those that are shy or have special needs, and I'm committed to giving every animal the care they deserve. I'm available on most weekends and holidays. I occasionally have weekdays open as my work schedule allows. I will have Fridays available for part of the summer. When introducing myself I allow the animal to approach me first, I take things slow if they're shy or nervous. I'm familiar with dog and cat body language so I can recognize signs of stress. When walking dogs I'm always aware of my surroundings and will adjust the route if I need to.

“Miranda is so sweet and her updates are incredible. Knowing she was looking after my cat made me feel so much more comfortable about leaving.”

“Deb was wonderful in caring for our Zoey, like always. She is extremely accommodating and flexible. Our place is always spotless when we come home and she always goes above and beyond in caring for Zoey. The adorable pictures she sends are very much appreciated while we're away, and we know that Zoey is in the best hands while we're gone, which gives us piece of mind. Deb is our go-to pet sitter, and we can't recommend her enough.”

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 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.

“Laney did a fantastic job watching my cats!! This was my first time using Rover and I did not know what to really expect. Laney made sure my cats were taken care of and when I came home I could tell how happy they were. I will be rebooking with her for my future vacations.”

“Natasha was absolutely wonderful. She made everything very easy and put our minds at ease knowing our pets were in great hands. 10/10 would recommend”

“Alexandra is so thorough and helpful! We have a special needs dog who needs several medications and she helped us feel very confident in leaving him under her care. I love the pictures she sends!”

Kaitlyn W.

“Sophia did an amazing job watching my 2 dogs! She sent detailed updates, lots of photos, and went above and beyond to make sure they felt comfortable while I was gone for 10 days. She maintained a high level of communication and I never had to worry. I highly recommend her for taking care of any pet you need!”

“As always, Ava is great with our cats! We always come home to happy cats and a clean home, communication is great and we really appreciate the photos while we’re away”

“Barbara is such an attentive sitter and always takes wonderful care of my little cats!! Communicates quickly and sends so many pictures and updates”

Annabelle A.

“I have a pair of bunnies, one of whom is a special needs senior and quite medically fragile. Kim did an amazing job taking care of him and keeping me updated on how he was doing! Couldn’t be happier with her quality of care and will definitely be booking again!”

Nathan and Dominique P.

“Patrick and Opie bonded from the moment they met! Patrick is very responsible and his love of dogs and warmth came right through. Thank you Patrick!”

Sharon B.

“Rachel was great and made me comfortable leaving my cats for a week. She sent me pictures and videos like I asked for and seemed to genuinely enjoy spending time with my cats :) Rachel kept an eye on heat warnings in the area and adjusted my AC and fan accordingly & recognized when the cats would enjoy some open-window fresh air which I really appreciated. I would definitely ask Rachel to cat sit again in the future!”

Hannah A.

“Caterina is a reliable sitter. I asked Caterina to visit our cat on an off day, while we were away and she took the time to do so. She is some one to count on.”

About: Albany area, Open to long stays as well as short. I work M-F in office but love to stay home on the weekends. I’ve have taken care of small and big dogs since I was 15. I love to play fetch and keeping them company when they’re lonely and missing their parents. I just moved over to Albany from California and currently have all the free time in the world. I am trying to get to know the city more by walking around with dogs. It’s great as I can also get my steps in and your pets will be all tuckered out when you get home. I live alone in a one bedroom so they have decent amount of space to roam around. I also live right next to SUNY so I can always take them out for a breath of fresh air or if they want a longer jog, Lincoln Park is right around the corner.

“My pup loved her time with Josie! I appreciated how willing Josie was to come and do a meet-and-greet the day before our scheduled drop-in visit. Josie was mindful of the weather and met my pup’s need to go outside, while protecting her from the heat. I got a detailed report of their time together, with adorable pictures and video! We will definitely reach out again when we have the need. ?”
