Barbara was attentive to my dog’s needs, patient with his anxiety, and definitely caring. Doors were left locked and instructions were followed, which is highly appreciated.

About: While I’ve never had my own dog, I have many dogs in my life who I adore, and who adore me. Dogs always approach me in public because they can sense how much I love them! I’ll love your pup as if it’s my own! I'm a PA student and my schedule is different everyday. If you request something a week in advance, I should be able to arrange something! Whether your pup just needs a buddy to hang out with or needs to be fed/walked, I’m in! I’m respectful of your space and can do whatever you need, as long as detailed instructions are left for me. I will go above and beyond to care for your pet as if it’s my own.

About: Trusted, Experienced Pet Care You Can Feel Good About Taking care of animals isn’t just something I do—it’s who I am. I’ve spent years volunteering at Humane Society shelters, working hands-on with dogs and cats of all temperaments, from energetic and playful to shy and anxious. That experience taught me how to make every animal feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’ve also rescued and raised my own pets—Bella (brown tabby), Nugget (orange tabby), and Mumble (Jack Russell Terrier from a kill shelter)—so I understand firsthand how important it is to trust the person caring for your animal. Over the years, I’ve gained real experience walking, feeding, and pet sitting for animals with different personalities and needs. I know how to read behavior, build trust quickly, and adjust my care to each individual pet. What sets me apart: • Calm, patient approach (great for anxious or shy pets) • Reliable, detail-oriented, and highly communicative • Experience with both dogs and cats of all sizes and energy levels • Genuine passion for animal welfare and safety I treat every pet like my own—not just making sure they’re cared for, but making sure they feel comfortable, secure, and loved while you’re away. You won’t have to wonder how your pet is doing. I provide consistent updates so you always have peace of mind. If you’re looking for someone dependable, experienced, and truly invested in your pet’s well-being, I’d love to help.

About: I have had the opportunity to care for young puppies and elderly dogs over the last three years. Both ends of the spectrum require different levels of care, but more importantly, it requires love and patience. I am able to go for as many walks as needed, administer pain and behavioral medications, or just snuggle on the couch. I would be able to stop by during my lunch break around 1PM, and then after 5PM. All animals are on different schedules, but my flexibility hopefully will mesh with yours! I would first like to meet your animal before officially becoming their sitter. I want them to become acclimated with me and see if we would respond well to each other, especially with me entering into their home. For dogs, I can administer medications, go on walks, observe back yard play (if applicable) and provide them with all the food and treats they’re allowed. For cats, I can scoop and deeply clean litter, brush and maintain their fur if needed, and again, provide all the food and treats! Both also deserve some indoor play time as well, so more then happy to participate in play time

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.

About: I am a 28 year old wife and mom to one baby, one dogs and a cat. I have ample experience with training animals, as I trained my two dogs, one whom passed and one who is now 8, on my own and am in the process of training my 2 year old cat. I am skilled in senior animal care, as I grew up with Labrador’s my entire life who required senior and end of life care, such as diapering and mobility. One of my dogs has a chronic illness, which has made me trained in medication management and administration to ensure he remains healthy. My pets are my whole world, so you can know that in my care your pets will never be without attention and love! While I am busy with my own family, I can make myself available any day and any time to give your animals attention and love! As I am the primary caregiver to my child, I will have him with me for walking. However, he will be strapped to my chest in a carrier and unable to directly interact with your pet, unless you tell me it’s okay! I currently live in an apartment, but my dog is walked multiple times a day for extended periods to allow him to explore the world and get some energy out! This would be the same with your pets. My cat is consistently entertained, and I usually spend a great chunk of my nights wearing him out.

Eydid did an amazing job with his drop-in visit for my cat, Bella. She seemed so happy, relaxed, and comfortable in his care—it was clear she trusted him right away. Eydid is a trustworthy and dependable individual who followed all instructions perfectly and kept me at ease with his prompt communication. I’d hire him a million more times without hesitation!

About: I feel very proud that whenever I meet an animal we’re almost Instantly best friends. They say that dogs can sniff out honest and kind people. I feel very skilled at building trusting connections with pets and making sure they are happy when you come home! I am able to keep them safe and entertained, handle medicine, food, etc. I have a long list of repeated clients and growing that list helps me support myself and my artistic career! I hope this bio stood out to you because I'd love to spend time with your pet so you can have a stress free day away from the house! I have a very flexible schedule. I work many different gigs that make my schedule super flexible! I am able to make trips during the day to care for your pet while you're at work and I am also able to hang with them in the evenings if you decide you want to have a night out! I like building trust between animals. Repeated visits with pets are very important to help reduce stress on them. I give them space upon first meeting to give them the opportunity to approach me when they are ready to do so. until in no time we are besties.

It was our cockatiel's first time being cared for by a sitter and Lynne did an amazing job providing us with updates and being attentive to our baby's needs. Our bird is normally very wary and mistrusting of strangers but she seemed already friendly with Lynne by the end of the week! I would trust Lynne to watch over her again

She maintained a high level of communication and I never had to worry. I highly recommend her for taking care of any pet you need!

About: I’ve grown up with cats and dogs my entire life, and have taken care of all age groups. Newer to the east coast and Albany, I haven’t been able to adopt a pet of my own yet and would love to live vicariously as a pet owner by caring for yours! I’m currently in a long distance relationship with my parent’s dog Luigi and seeing him every Christmas just isn’t cutting it anymore. Please give me the opportunity to pet a dog! I currently work Monday - Friday, 8-4 pm so I am available to check in on the pets and feed dinner in the evenings or very early in the morning. I am available on the weekends if booked in advance. I will spend lots of time with your pet beyond taking care of their basic needs. I will also take lots of adorable pictures of them to send to you so you know they are happy at home while you are away.

Debra was an amazing sitter for my dogs. I needed someone last minute to do drop in visits with my dogs over Thanksgiving break. Debra went above and beyond. She came 3 times a day, sent photos each time, and even brought my heavy packages inside (to the rear of the house) which I didn’t even ask her to do. She was personable, great with communication, and reliable. I will definitely use her again!
