Dog Sitting Duryea

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my lifelong experience with animals and the genuine love and patience I bring to every pet I care for. I have been around animals my entire life, so I understand that every pet has their own personality, needs, and routine. I also have experience caring for senior dogs. My own dog has since passed away, but I helped care for him throughout his later years, which taught me the importance of patience, attentiveness, and providing extra comfort and support. Because of this experience, I am comfortable giving medications, helping pets stick to their routines, and making sure they feel safe and loved while their owners are away. When caring for pets, I make sure they get plenty of exercise, playtime, attention, and affection. Whether that means going on walks, playing fetch, providing  activities, sticking to feeding schedules, or simply spending quality time cuddling and keeping them company, I treat every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to make sure both pets and their owners feel comfortable, confident, and cared for. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily and weekly routine. Since I am currently a college student and school is out, I have a lot of free time and a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of attention to the pets in my care. I also work as a babysitter, but Rover is my top priority job. I make sure to schedule my time carefully so that every pet receives the care, attention, exercise, and companionship they need. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, cleaning up after them, or simply spending quality time together, I am committed to providing reliable and attentive care. Because of my flexible availability, I can easily accommodate different routines and help pets feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. I currently have three cats who, despite not paying rent, are very well taken care of! Caring for them is a big part of my daily routine. I make sure they receive their daily feedings, fresh water, interactive playtime, plenty of attention, and daily litter box cleanings to keep their environment clean and comfortable. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their established routines as closely as possible so their pets feel safe and comfortable. This includes feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, playtime, administering medications if needed, and providing lots of love and companionship. I understand that every pet has unique needs and personalities, so I take the time to get to know them and make sure they feel cared for while their owners are away. My goal is always to provide dependable care, maintain a clean environment, and treat every pet as if they were my own.

“Andrew comes highly recommended. He is extremely dependable, thorough, and spends every minute of that window with your pet. He is very communicative, flexible, and further, is a consummate professional. Your pet is in good hands and to this day we take advantage of his availability every time we get the opportunity.”

About: Hello! My name is Baylor, and I've been surrounded by animals my entire life, growing up with both dogs and cats. For the past four years, I've worked as a veterinary technician, giving me extensive experience caring for animals and ensuring they stay happy, healthy, and safe. My veterinary background allows me to confidently administer medications, recognize changes in behavior, and provide attentive care for pets with special needs. In addition to my clinical experience, I've been pet sitting for many of my veterinary clients over the past few years. I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pets, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I am currently taking care of pets as my full-time job, allowing me to be very available and have widespread flexibility to fit your scheduling needs. I am able to care for your dog or cat in whichever way feels most comfortable for you, whether that is a puppy who needs training, walks, and crated time, or a senior cat that requires more frequent, attentive visits and a strict schedule of medication. Given my background, I am also happy to provide additional services such as baths, nail trimmings, and gland expressions when necessary.

“Tammy did a great job with my little ones and even though there were some extra things that Tammy had to do (my little Lilly had an injury), Tammy handled the extra tasks beautifully!! She even got my little stubborn king of the castle (Rocky) to go back in his room with the others. Tammy was very punctual and I would highly recommend her!!”

“Thank you so much Jessica for taking such amazing care of my babies. Your messages were so funny and well written. My trip was very peaceful and relaxing and all the more so because I had someone so caring it made me feel such peace of mind knowing someone like you was looking after my fur babies! I looked forward everyday to reading your daily updates in the notes on rover. I'm glad my cat Gizmo got the chance to boss somebody else around for a change lol.”

About: I’ve checked in on multiple pets before. Friends and my own family and relatives message me to come in, walk their dog, feed and give them water, and keep them company for a while! I love pets so when I found out I could get paid for it, I was astounded! I’ll care for your pets as if they were my own, with tender love and care. I am a working college student at the moment, so I would be working part time. I would make time for my clients though, especially how I often have time in between my classes and I also have time after school during the week and on weekends. While I currently do not offer pets in my home, I will respect your home by keeping it clean and untouched by the time I leave. Now I will keep your pet company if that is the service you’d like and by doing so, we might empty their toys on the ground and play for a bit. That being said, it will be cleaned up and so will messes made by their food or water before I leave the house as well.

About: I’ve had the joy of caring for dogs and cats throughout my life, and both of our beloved pets lived long, happy lives before passing away from old age. While my family and I aren’t quite ready to welcome another pet into our home just yet, I’d love the opportunity to care for yours. I also have a 9 year old daughter who absolutely loves animals and enjoys helping me give them extra love and attention when she’s with me. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. Whether your pet needs a walk, a drop-in visit, or companionship while you’re away, I’ll provide them with the same love, patience, and attention I’d give my own. I work five days a week and am available after 4:00 PM, with flexible availability for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting every single week. I respect your home and your pet’s routine. I’ll carefully follow all feeding, medication, walking, and care instructions while keeping your pet comfortable and stress free. You’ll receive regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

“Great job Summer! Thank you so much. Poppy loves you and we appreciate the pics and texts! We knew she was in good hands We will definitely use again”

About: I grew up with dogs and cats as pets, so have lifelong experience caring for animals. My family owned a small farm for a period of time, so I also gained experience with horses in addition to cats and dogs. We owned a German Shepard and a cockapoo, so I do have direct experience with both smaller and larger dogs. In high school, I took 4 years of animal science, which further advanced my knowledge of pets and gave me hands on experience in a pre-veterinarian science atmosphere. I plan on returning to school in the near future to further my studies in the animal sciences field and pursue a career as a Veterinarian Technician. I have had a life full of loving animals and live to care for them any way I can.

About: I have experience caring for pets including feeding, walking, playtime, litter box cleaning, and providing companionship. I understand the importance of following each pet’s routine and instructions closely to keep them comfortable and stress-free while their owner is away. Hi! I’m a dependable and caring pet lover who enjoys spending time with animals of all kinds. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away, so I focus on keeping their routines consistent and giving them plenty of attention, care, and affection. I’m responsible, detail-oriented, and always follow instructions closely. Your pet’s safety is my top priority. I always follow owner instructions carefully, keep pets secure during visits or walks, and make sure doors, gates, and leashes are properly used. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and environment to ensure they are safe, comfortable, and stress-free at all times.

“Exceptional sitter for our 2 dogs while we went on vacation to Arizona! Very thorough, thoughtful & prompt! Will definitely use Kim next time we need a sitter!”

About: I’ve loved and owned cats and dogs through every phase of my life, making animal care second nature to me. As an extremely empathetic and caring person, I treat every pet like family. I absolutely love snuggling kitties and promise to give your fur baby all the patience, warmth, and attention they deserve! I'm currently home full-time with total schedule availability seven days a week! Because I'm around all day, I can easily adapt to your pet's exact routine for walks, feedings, and plenty of quality time together. Living in an apartment, I focus entirely on dedicated drop-in care and walks for cats and small-to-medium dogs. I’m also open to small animals and exotic pets, so feel free to reach out to see if we're a great fit.

About: I’ve taken care of animals and pets my whole life. From puppies to senior dogs, I love taking precious l puppers under my wing while they need it! I am a long time pet owner who is now a medical student. My schedule is flexible and my work/study allows me to have time to care for pets and give them the time they deserve. I have a safe environment where pets will be given attention and love along with their everyday needs like food, water, walks, and potty times!

“I have two reactive dogs, one of which is 75% blind. Leia doesn’t trust strangers and has a difficult time adjusting to people.She would not let Doreen in the house. Doreen was so patient with her and returned the next day to give it a second try. She impressed me so much by by coming back. Doreen is a kind, patient, and dedicated lover of animals. I’m really happy I found her .”
