About: I have 5 years of experience working for a boarding kennel where I routinely walked, played, fed, and overall took care of dogs of all different kinds of breeds, sizes and a wide range of ages. I am also majoring in canine training and management at suny cobleskill! I’m currently a college student with a different schedule everyday I am unavailable during the following times… Mondays- 11 am- 2:50 pm Tuesday- 8:30 am- 11:50 pm Wednesdays- 10 am- 11:50 am Thursday’s- 8:30 am- 9:20 am and 4 pm- 4:50 pm Fridays- 10 am- 3:50 pm I am free at all hours during the weekends. I will not be able to care for pets in my home since I am living on-campus. Hopefully in the future that will be able to change!

8. Gabriella C.
“Gabriella stayed with our two dogs for 8 days while we were out of the country. We felt very comfortable having her there with them and she sent us updates everyday. One of our dogs is hairless and requires a bit more work, especially going outside since he needs clothes and boots in the winter. We came back to happy and healthy pups. Thanks Gabriella!”
9. Kirsten & Mark O.
“Kirsten is the best! She loves animals and took care of my dogs like they were her own. She followed all of my instructions and asked where to find something if she didn’t know where it was. As a dog mom I’m always worried leaving my dogs with just anyone but she made it easier with thoughtful communication and when i came back i could tell the pups enjoyed her company. I definitely recommend her!”

“Ashley house sat for us with our two cats and a dog , she did and awesome job , we would definitely book her again.”
11. Karis "Irína" R.
“Irina has been caring for my 3 german shepherds and 2 cats for the past year. I go away quite frequently, and I've never had any issues leaving my wild bunch with her. She's very quick to answer any questions I have and provides plenty of updates. I could tell upon meeting her that she has a special way with animals. My eldest pup is a rescue and has a great deal of anxiety when it comes to meeting new people, but he instantly loved her. My house is always spotless when I return which is also a plus. I would highly recommend her for all of your petsitting needs.”

“Jillian was absolutely wonderful with our 1 1/2 year old Lab. He gets very nervous and anxious around new people but she stayed with him all weekend and we couldn’t have been more pleased! Thank you Jillian!”
13. Jaymie H.
“Jaymie took great care of my two senior doggies when I had to go out of town!! I had just moved to the area so was anxious about leaving them for the first time but Jaymie was prompt, kind and send me cute pics of the girls relaxing in the sun so I was immediately at ease!!! Doggies can’t wait to see her again!”
14. Dennis B.
“Dennis was able to accommodate our needs, very last minute. He was responsive and flexible. Dennis is very friendly, the pups took to him right away. I will be scheduling again the next time we are in the area!”
15. Gracie M.
About: I have many years of experience working with dogs of all sizes. Enjoy walking dogs. Will care for your dog and treat them as family. I’m able to take care of your animal during day, evening or even for overnight. I’m always walking dogs and pet sitting cats and dogs. I will follow instructions for what is needed. Will keep animals safe and ensure that any animals that are not allowed outside don’t go outside. I will play with animals, empty litter box, and ensure they are safe before leaving.
16. Evan N.
“Evan was very responsive to my messages and requests. Louis and the house were well taken care of. I would be happy to book his services again.”
17. Karlee B.
“Great experience. We booked last minute. Karlee stayed at our place with the dogs. She sent pictures and you could tell the Jake and Daisy really warmed up to her. I am always happy when I can have someone stay at the house instead of taking the dogs to the kennel. I will definitely recommend Karlee and use her again!”
18. Alexis C.
“Alexis did a great job taking care of our furry kids. The dogs all enjoyed her company while we were gone.”
19. Tiana R.
About: I grew up taking care of animals and helping dog sit a few times for relatives. Furthermore, I worked at a dog daycare for about a year and during my time there I learned a lot about a dogs behavior and how to read each individual dogs body language. I’m currently working part time so I can assure you I will have plenty of time to care for you furry friends! I will also be offering boarding Thursday’s-Sunday’s! I start my day off by making sure my babies are fed and have fresh water, followed by going out for a walk and playing outside for a little! I have a dog and a cat who is very shy. If needed I have a crate that can be used.
