“I can’t say enough about Angela’s care for our pup, our house , flowers and veggie garden. I booked a Petsitter but got a fantastic gardener in the mix. We were delayed in our return and Angela graciously returned and stayed another night. That was such a stress reducer for us. I would give six stars if that were an option .”



“Lauren stayed with our dog while we were away for a few days. She is very nice, prompt, and professional. She sent pictures and kept us updated while we were gone. We came home to a happy dog. We got back later than we expected due to airline issues and she was very accommodating by staying until we got home. I highly recommend her.”

“I think I’ll be home 4 to 5ish. My son has us set on a boat ride 12-2 in Lake George.. I thought if you lean the gray gate against the wall where he dug, maybe that would keep him away so he doesn’t do more damage.”

About: Hi there! I'm Bree, a lifelong animal lover with years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages and personalities I know how important it is to feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and loved when you’re away. That’s why I always communicate clearly with pet parents to understand their needs before taking up a job. I want the best experience for all parties. I can send regular updates, photos, and even a few videos to keep you in the loop! I'm currently working 3 days a week, usually Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays from 8 am to 3 pm at the latest. Pet care can fit into my schedule very well, depending on the needs and wants of the owners and pets. I am very flexible and can adjust accordingly Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I treat every pet with the same level of love, respect, and attention I give my own. In your home, I do my best to keep your pet’s routine consistent—mealtimes, walks, play, and quiet time—because I know how important structure is for their well-being. I’m careful to follow your instructions exactly, and I always double-check details like feeding guidelines, medication, and home security (doors, gates, etc.). I also send regular updates if needed, so you know your pet is happy and safe while you're away.


“We booked our second house sitting experience with Brian, and he was fantastic again! He even took our senior puppy to her vet appointment, as we couldn't make it home in time. Thank you Brian for taking such great care of our girl.”


“I’m pretty sure our dogs like Jess better than us! This was our third time hiring Jess to dog sit for us - she really has become our go-to dog sitter! She’s reliable, trustworthy, and so great with our dogs!”


About: I’ve pet sit for neighbors and friends since high school and always had a great time. I can be patient and am good with giving medications if required. I am planning on doing this part time while doing college online so my schedule is very flexible. I would also be open to doing weekly appointments. I typically try to be minimally invasive when I pet sit at others home and follow the directions left to me. I always try to get a dog I’m sitting for out every two hours unless otherwise told.

“Melissa was an excellent pet sitter for our dog! She was very professional and communicative throughout the entire process. Our dog absolutely loves her, and it was clear that she provided loving and attentive care. I would highly recommend Melissa to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet sitter. ---”


About: Dog owner of 12 years, currently living alone with no other pets & fenced in yard. I would love to provide you and your loved ones with reliable, loving care and meet them where they're at. *Experience boarding dogs for one night to several months *Experience walking dogs periodically and daily *Experience staying at pet owners' home and tending to plants *Experience with shy dogs I work a hybrid work schedule. I work from home Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays. Wednesdays and Fridays I am out of the house for about 9 hours from 8:30-5:30. I currently live alone in a house 1 bedroom home with a fenced in back yard. I am able to provide dedicated attention and comfortable surroundings for your loved ones. I have room for crates as needed. I like to be active and fun with your loved ones - I'm happy to go for walks, run around in the yard, whatever they enjoy best.


About: My grandfather and mother both have an animal science background so I was raised with a knowledge of animals and how special they are from a very early age. Because of this, I care deeply for the well being of your pet and treat them as my own. I think animals reflect the best of human behavior. I believe that animals have an innate power to heal and connect that is awe-inspiring. This ability I witnessed first hand growing up with a golden retriever and a German shepherd, the later becoming a therapy dog and certified pet partner for my family. Lastly, I have taken care of dogs of all ages and breeds from 1 month to 16 years, from 15-130+lbs, and done some by house sitting, walking, and boarding. I love all dogs, but am partial to bigger ones because that it was I grew up with since age 10. I currently work full time so I am available after or before business hours during the weekdays (8am-5pm, Monday-Friday) or anytime on the weekends to walk, visit with or house/dog sit. I currently WFH on Fridays, so my house/dog sitting is limited to Friday - Sunday. I can commute from anywhere in the metro Albany or Saratoga Springs, NY region so dog walking and/or drop-in visits are posible any day, most weeks. I will do my best to make your dog feel like nothing has changed in their own space (your home). On walks and during play visits, I will make sure they are comfortable, constantly watching body language for anxiety, fear, and exhaustion, etc. and will let their behavior dictate the pace, duration, where we go, and when bathroom breaks are needed. I treat walk and play time as their time and I am just there to make sure they have the most enjoyable time possible, while protecting their safety and health.

“I highly recommend Maria. She is trustworthy, responsive and reliable. She contacted me when Molly was shaking due to fireworks in our neighborhood to make sure this is typical. 8 forgot to warn her and was very happy she reached out to me. Molly had a wonderful time with her and was not as excited to see me as I expected. (because she was content with Maria). This was my first time with a house sitter and I was so pleased to return home with my house as clean as I left it. I will be using her again.”


About: As someone who has lived with and raised dogs my entire life, I understand the care, attention, and love they need. From playful puppies to senior companions, I’ve experienced every stage of a dog’s life and know how to meet their unique needs. I’ve also provided dog-sitting services for friends and family, ensuring their pets are well-cared for and happy while they’re away. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, or cuddles, I’m dedicated to giving every dog the same love and care I give my own. I’m currently in college, attending part-time on campus and completing some courses online. I also work three days a week, so my schedule can vary. However, I’m available every night, both on weekdays and weekends. I just ask that you always check with me before booking to ensure I can accommodate your needs and provide the best care for your pet! I care for pets in my client’s home by following their usual routine as closely as possible. This includes feeding them at their regular times, taking them for walks, providing playtime, and giving them plenty of love and attention. I also make sure they feel safe and comfortable in their environment by keeping things familiar. If they have specific needs, like administering medication or following special instructions, I’m happy to accommodate. My goal is to ensure your pet feels cared for and happy while you’re away.

Seth C.
“Seth is one of the best dog sitters I’ve ever come across, and I’m not just saying that because I’m his girlfriend! I’ve seen firsthand how much he genuinely loves and cares for animals. He’s dog-sat for my Teacup Yorkie multiple times, and each time, he goes above and beyond to ensure she’s comfortable and well-cared for. My dog has special dietary needs and requires extra attention, and Seth always makes sure she gets the right food, along with all the care and affection she needs. What really stands out about Seth is his ability to understand the unique needs of different dogs. He’s not just a sitter; he’s a true caregiver. He treats every dog with the utmost kindness, respect, and discipline, as if they were his own. I’ve even gone dog-sitting with him for some of his family members, and I witnessed firsthand how well he took care of their dog, Mr. Charley, during a weekend stay. Seth was incredibly attentive to Charley’s needs and made sure he was always comfortable and happy. I always feel completely at ease leaving my dog in his care, knowing she will be loved and well-attended to. Seth is reliable, responsible, and trustworthy – I can't recommend him enough!”
