House Sitting in Cohoes

“Evelyn was awesome with our two Frenchies, Homer and Lorelei! She followed all our instructions, sent lots of photo updates throughout the day, and was super easy to communicate with. Everything went really smoothly — we’d definitely have her watch them again!”

“Laina is a FANTASTIC sitter and friend to animals! My grandfather passed and we desperately needed a sitter. Luckily for us, Laina had availability and met us for a meet-and-greet at our convenience. She drove through a blizzard to stay with our cat and dog. She was thorough, sent us several reassuring updates with photos, and treated our fur babies (and home) with care! I’ve never felt so comfortable leaving my pets and look forward to working with her in the future. 10/10!”

“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.”

“We couldn't be happier with our decision of booking with Myia. We were gone for 11 days and didn't really want to kennel our super anxious chiweenie Fred for that long, so we decided to try the housesitting option through Rover. Myia did an amazing job keeping an eye on our apartment as well as taking care of the forementioned Fred. I know that really helped him as opposed to being kenneled by himself for almost 2 weeks. We highly recommend Myia, and will be looking to her for assistance again in the (very near) future.”

“I couldn’t recommend Net (Stephanie B) anymore! We went away for a few days for thanksgiving and left her with our 2 dogs, 3 cats, lizard, and chickens and she was absolutely fantastic. She followed our feeding walking directions perfectly and had excellent communication. Our house was left nicer than we left it and our pups were clearly happy and well taken care of. She even made sure to give them a walk before we got home so we could unpack and relax. Don’t hesitate, book Net!”

“Anna is great! Regular updates throughout my trip. She took great care of my pets and home and made sure my dog had plenty of attention. Highly recommend!”

About: For the past five years, I have cared for dogs of all sizes in their homes while their owners are away. I trained my family’s puppy when I was 12, which gave me strong experience with puppies and basic training. I am also experienced in senior care, including supporting dogs with arthritis and neurological conditions. Additionally, I am comfortable administering medications, including pills and capsules. I truly love the dogs I care for and always strive to provide them with the best, most attentive care possible. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I work full-time during the week, which accounts for most of the time I may be away during house sitting stays. Outside of work hours, I prioritize the pet’s routine with morning and evening care, feeding, potty breaks, walks, and companionship, and I am typically away from the home for no more than four hours at a time. For drop-in visits, I am available for morning, midday (on my lunch break), and evening visits, and I follow each pet’s established schedule closely. On weekends, I have increased flexibility and availability to spend more time with pets and maintain their normal routine. For house sitting and drop-in visits, I care for pets in their own home where they feel most comfortable. I closely follow each owner’s instructions for feeding, potty breaks, walks, medications, and daily routines. I prioritize safety by securing doors and gates, monitoring pets at all times during visits, and keeping their environment clean and calm. I also provide companionship, playtime, and updates with photos so owners can feel confident their pets are well cared for while they’re away.

“Amanda is the best dog sitter I have ever had! She was so attentive to all of my dog's needs and respectful of his quirks and daily schedule. She kept me fully updated every day I was gone and sent lots of cute pictures and videos - I felt like I didn't have to worry about a thing because I knew my fur baby was in loving and capable hands. I recommend Amanda 100%!!!”

“Having Linda stay at my home to take care of my dog Moose was a great experience! She sent frequent updates including pictures to let me know how he was doing and seems to have developed a great relationship with him! I'm going to hire her to walk him as well on a regular basis :-)”

Caitlin M.

“I can’t say enough about Jenna and Aidan! They stayed at our house overnight and, during the day, took amazing care of our two dogs and two cats. One of our dogs, a senior collie, has special needs, and they handled this with ease. They also looked after our elderly cat with kidney issues while still making time to play with our energetic three-year-old dog. They communicated with us , which gave us such peace of mind. Thanks to their compassionate and attentive care, we were able to fully enjoy our getaway knowing that our pet family was in the best of hands. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for loving, responsible pet sitters!”

Elizabeth A.

“Shannon is awesome! She looked after our 5 month old puppy and two cats while we were gone for a weekend. She took great care of them and sent picture updates which was really nice! She also left our house so clean and organized. Lovely! Looking forward to having her again for future trips.”

Sarah C.

“Patrick came for a meet and greet and understood the needs of my reactive dog. He did great with her and she warmed right up to him. He took care of her specialty food needs as well as medication. He was also very responsive and kept us updated. We will definitely reach out to him for future sits.”

Lesley P.

“WOW! Angela was the perfect petsitter for our little babies! She was so sweet, professional, and communicative and it made us feel so comfortable leaving them for two weeks as well as having her stay at our house! Our house was clean when we returned like she wasn’t even there! Both our pups were so happy not just to see us but overall happy and weren’t upset we were gone which shows us how great Angela was with them! Thank you Angela and we WILL book again!”

Mellysa C.

“Kenda is a wonderful at this job. She really went the extra mile to become friends with my dog, not just the person that shows up to complete the task. This was especially important because I have an anxious and reactive rescue dog that takes some coaxing in order to trust people. Highly recommended and definitely my go-to dog walker going forward.”

Marc A.

“Kevin did a fantastic job house sitting with Igloo for the day! He even went out of his way to come meet Igloo a couple days before so that she would be comfortable staying with a new person in the house. He kept us updated with photos during the day. It was great being able to have the day to ourselves and not worry - we would definitely have him back again!”

Alex M.

“Shantalee was great! We reached out at the last minute and she was very understanding. She took great care of our 3 dogs and was very communicative. She kept them happy and comfortable. We will definitely be booking her again!”

Ercilla D.

“Saiesha sent updates whenever she took my dog on a walk. She followed all my instructions to the T, left the place untouched, my dog fed, taken care of, and happy. I couldn’t have asked for more!”

About: I have been caring for animals since I was a child. I started small with hamster and fish, eventually teaching myself to care for larger species through rigorous online teachings and experience. I work part time so that I can spend as much time working with and caring for animals as possible. Ideally taking care of at least 3 pets a day would be best case for me. I do not have the ability to care for pets in my home but I do have the knowledge and experience to crate fur babies when needed without causing them distress. I am familiar with getting animals of all domestic sizes into a state of calm for walks or sleep time or even cuddles after a long day of missing their folks.

“Ju-lie is an amazing pet sitter. I am very particular about who watches my dog. I had no worries leaving her in Ju-lie’s care. She was very attentive to my instructions for caring for her. She sent me pictures of her and let me know how things were going. She left my apartment clean, and exactly how I left it. I look forward to having Ju-lie watch Miah again for me! I highly recommend her as a pet sitter.”

About: I have owned and lived with dogs and cats for my entire life. After losing my beloved shihtzu 6 years ago I decided I wanted to dedicate my life to helping others. I foster pets, dogsit/housesit board and walk dogs and I have a flexible schedule. I love dogs of all sizes but I only have space in my own home for dogs under 20lbs. I am available to do home checks and midday walks. I am available for overnights or weekends stays. I will of course follow your rules for whether pets are allowed on the furniture but as far as I am concerned, your pets are family and in my home they can go anywhere that I can go! If you’re looking for someone calm, dependable and responsible, look no further! I have a flexible schedule and can be available for midday walks, dinner, enrichment, and overnights. I love field trips and fun adventures with your pup and can also just hang out if they need companionship. I do not have any pets of my own so that I can dedicate my time to pet sitting and fostering. This enables me to host small pets in my home or to stay with pets for extended periods such as vacations.
