Dog Sitting in Colonie

“Thank you Linda A, once again, for taking care of my kitty while I was away. All was perfect, I didn't worry or stress knowing my fuzzball would be looked after. All good!!”

About: I am not currently working so I have all the time in the world to dedicate to the pups! In general I'm quite flexible, I like to fly by the seat of my pants. Within the past 9 years my brother got a Basset Hound, (who has since passed), my parents got a German Shepherd, (who has since passed), and I got a Shepherd/Hound rescue pup. Man so I miss having pup around! I've quickly become the dog sitter because I like dogs more than people! I am very comfortable with big dogs and open to working with smaller dogs. I love taking long walks with the pups. If the dog is willing I love to teach them new things! I have all of the patience in the world for dogs. They are and will always be my number one priority at all times. I will respect and follow any rules or guidelines you have knowing full well how much work goes into training and wouldn't want to cause any set backs. I'm a stay at home mom of a 5 year boy. He goes everywhere with me and is also amazing with dogs. So if your dog just needs some company or a nice walk, I'm your girl! I care for any pet as if it were my own. Any specific directions given to me will be followed to a "T". I know how important pets are and I treat them as such.

“Debbie is fantastic! We came home to a happy and well cared for cat. We were gone for nine days and she checked in and sent loads of great photos of our kitty for which we were grateful. Debbie was always prompt and respectful.”

“I appreciated Hailey being available on short notice. She was very reliable and followed my care instructions for Lucy. I will definitely have Hailey checkin on Lucy again”

“We were first time rover users for our cat Selene. Amanda was very kind and patient with us as I was all over the place with our trip. Our kitty hid each time she visited but was fed, watered and her box scooped! We will certainly book again the next time we have a trip planned! 😁”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This was my first time using Rover, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! While I was admitted to the hospital for six days, I knew my cat, Logan, needed more than just someone to stop by and fill his bowl—he needed companionship, playtime, and someone to ensure his environment was safe and comfortable. Glenmary went above and beyond, not only taking incredible care of Logan but also easing my own worries. Her updates, attentiveness, and genuine care made all the difference. I’ve already booked her again, and she will be my number one sitter moving forward. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a compassionate and reliable pet sitter!”

“Barbara was extremely great with my 2 cats. They usually aren’t friendly and like to hide but they warmed up to her! You can tell she really cares! I’ll definitely rebook for my next vacation!”

Cesia R.

“Kailey was great with our dogs during the drop in visit. One of our dogs is protective and weary of new people, but he was calm and comfortable with her. We’d definitely hire her again!”

Demi C.

“Katrina is a mature, responsible person who quickly earned our trust. Leaving our fur babies in the care of someone else is no small decision. We feel totally confident in her sensitivity to our older dog and our new rescue dog who is still adjusting. Highly recommend!”

About: I grew up always having a dog. I know how special they can be and the attention they deserve. I'm always happy to help pups get the best care possible. I have many free days to devote to pets. I am available on short notice and always happy to help out to make things easier on your animals. I have experience with dogs that roam the house as well as crate training. I also know how to handle an invisible fence versus a solid one as well as leads.

About: I have worked with seniors of varying ability levels. I have worked with many different kinds of animals in all sizes. I have worked with dogs, cats, pigs, chickens ducks, and many other kinds of livestock. I work a 9-5 in Albany which allows for me to take a long lunch break to care for pets as well as weekends free. I have dogs myself so we have all necessary medical information as ability to care for pets of all sizes. i also have a fenced in yard and all necessary toys and equipment.

“Lindsey was an absolute delight. Gave us very clear updates, followed our instructions to a T, and went above and beyond in taking care of Hank while we were out of town. Despite the short notice, she quickly bonded with Hank and was attentive to his needs. She even folded up his blanket into a nice bed and gave him dinner early so we didn’t have to worry about it when we got home. I will definitely ask for her help again soon.”

About: I will care for your dogs with ease and I will always be on time and reliable! I will give your pup the special care and attention that he or she needs. I have over 14 years of experience caring for canines and felines. Working with the needs of your dog is my top priority. I am in Albany, NY. I have a flexible schedule and I can prioritize taking care of your furry friend! I can drop by for a food and play session with your cat, or bring your dog on a 60 minute walk, and feed your dog (if needed). Pets I take care of are in the pet parent's home, rather than my own home. If there are certain routines and things you would like to share with me about best practices in your home, please let me know.

“Elena was very kind and flexible with our schedule. She even came over for a meet and greet before the actual day we set up. Would highly recommend.”

About: While I may be new to professional pet sitting, I truly love being around animals and have a deep level of compassion for them. You can trust that your pet will be safe, loved, and treated like family with me!" I work full-time as a third grade teacher and also teach in a summer literacy program. I am available part-time to provide love and happiness to your pet! I will care for your pet as I would want someone to care for mine. I will treat your home and pet with the respect and care and follow your instructions closely to maintain your pet’s routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special needs. I’ll provide plenty of attention, affection, and keep your pet comfortable and safe while you’re away. Plus, I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you feel connected and confident your pet is happy!

“Great sitter! My dog is very timid and Daniel was very patient with her. He came for a drop in visit while I was at work for a longer shift. He took her outside, got her out of her cage after lots of prying, fed her, and kept her company! Will definitely be having him sit for her in the future (: thank you!”

Tessa R.

“Jessica was fantastic with my cat! I arrived home after having to travel for work to a healthy and happy cat and an apartment that was just the way I had left it. Jessica provided a clear summary of each visit and was overall a great catsitter! Will book again.”

“Gabby is a warm, kind, thoughtful person. My two kitties liked her right away, and I could tell that she liked them. I felt comfortable and at ease leaving Spunky and Rachel in Gabby’s care. She was very communicative, accommodating, and conscientious throughout the entire pet sitting process. Everything went smoothly, and I did not have any concerns. I am thankful to have found Gabby, and I will be relying on her for future pet sitting.”

About: Just looking for a companion to take with me on my morning or afternoon walks! I walk or run around 3 - 6 miles every day and absolutely love taking dogs with me. Unfortunately my pup is now 15 years old and can’t keep up anymore :/ I've grown up with dogs my whole life and have always been an animal lover. I've owned anywhere from a 4 lbs maltese to an 115 lbs golden retriever. I have experience with training as well as patience when it comes to puppies. On my walks, I am also willing to go to the local dog parks to play as well. Hopefully you'll consider me to be your go-to dog walker and keep them company/ tire them out while you’re away! My schedule is flexible and changes often so it allows me to make various times work throughout the week. I almost always go for a walk in the mornings between 6-8am or in the afternoons between 5-9pm. I have experience working with all types of dogs and am very good at reading behaviors on walks and outings as well as around food and other people. I’ve lived with dogs my whole life and know how to keep them safe/ make sure the doors close behind me/ keep them in fenced in areas when off leash, etc.

“I hate that I cannot tip more on here thank you for all you do youre truly amazing !!!!”
