About: Hi there! I'm a 34-year-old professional living in Red Hook. While I have not yet adopted a dog of my own, I have house-sat, walked dogs for over 50 miles through apps like Rover, and cared for the dogs of my friends. My clients consistently rate me "Extra Caring" and going "Above and Beyond". ♻️ I use compostable waste bags that are environmentally friendly ❇️ I place an AirTag on the collars of dogs for the duration of walks for added safety 💚 I provide lots of care and affection for your furry family members --- I work from home, which makes it easy for me to pet sit. I joined Rover because I'm not at a place in my life where I'm ready to adopt my own cat or dog. So instead I’m happy to give love and care to yours! I have worked for 3 years in customer support so I know how to deliver exceptional service with professional communication. Every time I've met a client through Rover I'm continually amazed by how each person is someone I want to be friends with. Dog and cat owners here on Rover are some of the friendliest people I've met. Which is why I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member soon; especially dogs whose breeds rhyme with "boudin' beaver" and "musky", not that I'm playing favorites! I currently have availability on weekends from Friday evening to Sunday evening. I am available for drop-ins, walks, and house stays in the Albany area. I am a quiet and respectful person. I am happy to take care of your dog or cat in your home with any instructions you provide. I have previously house sat for friends who had two adult huskies and we all had a great time together.

“Daniel took excellent care of my cat! She is shy and will almost always hide when sitters visit, but when I'm back I can tell from her mood and behavior that she felt safe and comfortable. Thanks Daniel!!”

About: I’ve taken care of my neighbor’s dogs for many years. I make sure to walk them every day with a balanced meal. I will bathe your dog if requested or as needed. I’m a recent college graduate so I’m available most of the week. I’m ready to devote myself to giving care to animals and I love spending time with them. I live in an apartment with my partner and our two cats so, I’ll only be able to provide services at the client’s house. I will take the dog on leash if there is no fence. I have worked in animal clinic in the kennel so I experience with crating dogs at night. I additionally love spending time with cats and will play with them. I like to meet cats where they are at and not push their boundaries.

“Molly was fantastic on time quick to respond and most of all our pup Pumpkin LOVES her. We definately will be using her again when we can't take our furry baby with us. her again”

About: I've been a lifelong cat companion and caregiver, having raised and nurtured them since I was young. Over time, I've also bonded with my cousins' and friends' dogs, learning their unique needs and quirks while helping with everything from daily care to playtime. Whether it's a playful pup or a curious cat, I genuinely enjoy keeping tails wagging and whiskers happy. Since I currently work remotely, my schedule is wide open for pet sitting and dog walking— whether it’s a midday stroll or an overnight cuddle session. With a little heads-up, I’m happy to help with house sitting, too. Caring for animals isn’t just a part of my day — it’s something I truly look forward to. In my home, I’m the go-to comfort zone for my two cats — they always come to me for cuddles, calm, and of course, their meals. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I create that same sense of safety and familiarity. My friends’ dogs naturally stick close to me, whether we’re relaxing or out for a walk, because I make sure they feel secure, heard, and happy. Whether it’s your place or mine, I treat every pet like family — with patience, gentleness, and attention to their unique needs.

“So I am a travel nurse working in Scottsbluff, and I have had the pleasure of Phelan taking fabulous care of my furbaby Remi. She is very passionate and loving and played a lot with my dog. I would definitely recommend her.”

About: I have experience walking dogs, feeding and watching cats and dogs, administering medication, and cleaning litter boxes as needed. I'm all about providing kind care for you pet. I work full time Monday through Friday so I'm available most afternoons and evenings during the week, with more flexibility on weekends. Overall my schedule is pretty flexible and I'm willing to work with your needs. Everyone's home is different and I'm fine working within the boundaries you have with your pets in your home. Clear communication from both me and you so we can both have a great experience is my goal.

“Christina went above and beyond for our kitties! She was extremely responsive, took great pictures, and our kitties seemed to love her. Thanks again!”

About: I have pet sat on multiple occasions for friends and acquaintances alike since I was in undergrad. I have looked after dogs, cats, rabbits, and even goats! What makes me unique compared to other pet sitters is my 3.5 months of professional experience in an animal shelter setting — both with volunteering and handling animals. I had to complete training to work with the rescue dogs in the fall of 2024, where I learned techniques such as “Fancy Footwork” and “Click for Quiet.” Now I continue to implement what I was taught in my in-laws’s dog’s training. Additionally, as of March 2025, I've obtained a Fear Free Shelters Course certification, which specializes in recognizing animal behavior I do work an 8-4 in Voorheesville, NY Monday through Friday most weeks, but I do get time off for most federal holidays. I could petsit during a 3-day weekend (and on Election Day and Veterans Day) in addition to being available on Friday evenings and all day on Saturdays and Sundays I do have a rabbit, so to ensure his safety and comfort, I would have to come to your home if I were to house sit/petsit/dog walk. However, I do always see to it that every pet I'm watching's basic needs are met (they have food, water, they are not too hot or too cold, they can go outside/use their bathroom area, they're cleaned up after) and then some. When it's okay with the owner, sometimes I like to bring over a treat or a new toy for them. I would consider myself to be a novice dog handler, so it would be best if I didn't watch any reactive dogs (e.g. those who are leash reactive, dog reactive, noise reactive, or have stranger danger). I am familiar and comfortable with Labradors, Golden Retrievers, Doodle-mixes, French Bulldogs, Dachshunds, Great Danes and Shepherds. If your dog is a mixed-breed, that would not be a deal breaker for me. As long as they are friendly and show no aggression towards new people, I think we're going to have a great time!

“Kendra sent pictures everyday of my two cats and updated me everyday I highly recommend her she is very sweet! Came home to my cats well taken care of and she also fed my fish!”

About: I genuinely treat every pet like family. What sets me apart from other sitters is not just my love for animals, but my attention to detail, calm demeanor, and experience with pets at all life stages; from energetic puppies to senior pets who need a little extra TLC Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I plan my days around your pet’s needs. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday playtime, or evening cuddles, I’m consistent and reliable. I keep a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets the time, attention, and routine they’re used to, especially during drop-ins or overnight care. If your pet has a strict feeding or medication schedule, I always stick to it. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. In my home, pets get a calm, clean space with plenty of love and supervision. I pet-proof areas as needed and follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible to reduce stress. In your home, I respect your space like it’s my own. I follow all instructions carefully; from feeding to playtime, potty routines, and any house rules your pet is used to. I’m also mindful of securing doors, leashes, and gates so your furry friend stays safe. I always keep you updated with photos and notes, so you know your pet is happy and cared for.

About: I rescued our staffordshire terrier/apbt mix 2 years ago and have been learning and advocating for breed education. Through travels we have assisted in boxer, rottweiler and golden doodle care. It's important to pay attention to animal cues and of course provide safety and connection. I work remote full time m-f but usually done by 430/5pm. Weekends are flexible. With advance notice I can support drop ins/walks during the day or multiple days in a row. Care is provided in clients home and I ask for care instructions, vet info and any 'house rules.' I want to be respectful and understand the baseline while I'm caring for a pet. Any restrictions, securities measures or special considerations are discussed.
