About: I may not have dogs of my own, but I’ve been the go-to sitter for my sister’s and in-laws’ pups over the years. I’ve cared for my sister’s diabetic dog, following medication and feeding routines closely, and looked after my in-laws’ dogs while they were away on vacation—making sure they were walked, loved, and well cared for. I’m calm, reliable, and treat every dog like family. Whether your pup needs playtime, belly rubs, or a little extra medical attention, I’m here to help! Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I currently work four days a week and am available in the afternoons and evenings after work. I’m also free all day on Sundays and Mondays. I love spending my free time with animals—whether it’s walking, feeding, playing, or simply keeping them company. I’m reliable, flexible, and committed to providing consistent, loving care whenever I’m available. Although I live in Granville, I work in Queensbury, so I’m available in that area as well. When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow any instructions closely—whether it’s feeding times, walks, medications, or playtime—and make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I give them plenty of attention, keep their space clean, and send updates so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands. My goal is to treat your home with respect and your pet like family

“Kaylea did an excellent job for us with our three cats while we were away for three weeks. She kept in regular contact and we came home to find everything in great order. I highly recommend Kaylea and look forward to having her back again for future cat care.”

“Warm, friendly, responsive, thorough. My cats come out of hiding for Julia. They love her and each picture of their happiness that pops up in my phone brings even more confidence in her skills!”

Jeanine S.

“This is the second time Samantha took care of my kitty while I was out of town, and she did a wonderful job. She goes above and beyond to make sure my shy girl feels safe and comfortable. Will always rebook with her!”

Melissa M.

“Casandra was great with my cat Coco! Coco requires some medications to be given a couple times a day, and she was able to do that. She gave me updates on Coco throughout the week, and photos of Coco every day, and I came back from vacation to a healthy happy Coco!”

Olivia S.

“Tim was extremely accommodating, excellent with communication, and made my cat very comfortable. Highly recommend.”

“Mark did a great job with my cat. He was an excellent communicator and left my house in perfect order. I will definitely ask him to return in the future.”

About: Hi! My name is Aly and I’m 18. I love going on walks and playing with cats and dogs. As well as just lounging around. I am currently in school, so weekends and nights would work best until mid May. Over the summer I will be available at all times. My dogs were all crate trained, its always an easy way to keep them calm. I am used to multiple strong dogs pulling on walks

“Christine was very attentive and gave SweetPea all the care she needed!”

Steve W.

“Jackie is the best! She loves my kitties and takes the time to get to know them. I feel at ease knowing they are being cared for by her. She is super responsive, professional and very knowledgeable about animal care. I also love the pics she send me while I am away.”

Kara H.

“Donald was awesome. Reliable and great communication. I totally trust him with my animals.”

Debbie K.

“Couldn’t ask for better care of our two elderly cats. All went smoothly. Dina is a lovely person.”

About: Common courtesy and communication is paramount. **Willing to travel up to an hour away. Just because Rover says you are outside my service area it does not always mean you are. I have clients an hour North and South of me. **Necessary update as of 6/21/23** I will require current credit card info be on file at your vet or provided for me in your pet write up ONLY in case of emergency. In the event of an emergency and I could not get a hold of the human, puppies have no pockets to hold a card, the vet required me to pay. I have raised 3 separate RESCUE Rottweilers to be exceptional ambassadors of their breed. I currently do not have any pets since my big boy passed away in 2016. I hope to again one day have my own dogs. Until then I will love YOUR pet. **I DO NOT board animals at my home. Only repeat clients would MAYBE be possible for a very short amount of time.** Clients pets have included many breeds, species for days, weeks. Many Golden Retrievers, Doodles, mixes aka Heinz57s, Old English Sheep dog, lots of kitties, a chameleon, turtles, a bearded dragon, a small bird, fish, Rottweilers, a very challenging but lovable English Bulldog and Huskies one of which was very reactive. Oh and a LOT of house plants! PLEASE NOTE: I am deathly allergic to horses which I am very sad about. Any type of animal requiring LARGE amounts of hay would also be a problem i.e, goats, cows, alpacas I am sorry to say. Small rodent animals requiring hay for food or bedding has not been a big deal. My personnel dogs were very public dogs, parks, events etc. With the ever present fact in mind that as good as my animal was it is still an animal. Never purposely putting them in a situation to be loose (unless at home or a fenced park) or get into anything that could harm them. Read quite a few books/manuals by military working dog trainers in hopes of training a service oriented Rottie. Came very close to passing the Good Citizen certification but my dogs never liked the “stay” part when I had to walk away with my back turned. They just had to be next to me. So close. PLEASE NOTE: I have my preferences set to NOT to show any photos of YOUR pet publicly. I would ask permission first to share. Photos only NEVER infomation of course. My schedule allows me to be available to be in YOUR HOME, with your pets all day/night, unless noted ahead of time and of course trips to the store. I have many types of animals that insist on sleeping in bed just like they do when their people are home which in fine by me. Just take some Benadryl and snuggle on in. I try to stick closely to how the home runs normally so the pets do not have any surprises that can make them anxious. Sleep, food, walks, play time etc. I supervise dogs in their own yard fenced or not. I am very organized and like an outlined idea of their schedule to be written down for me to follow as closely as YOU would.

About: I love all animals, I do have experience with medication administration, or reactive types of dogs. I am experienced in senior care or helping in training puppies while I care for your pets I currently work per-diem, and attend school full time. I have weekends free and evenings and always free to pop in most times especially overnights. My pup sleeps with me, he is spoiled like my own child. All my animals are well cared for and happy. I am comfortable stopping in for checkups or walks or even overnight stays

“Colleen was great! She came a few days before to meet my (high maintenance) cat and see the space. She was super warm and nice - I had no qualms about leaving my baby in her care. She updated me a couple times of day, with pictures! My cat was healthy and happy after she left, and the house looked great - she even took out my trash! I would (and will) 100% book Colleen again!!”

About: Hello folks, I am an experienced animal caretaker with a background in fostering pets. I have cared for dogs, cats, other domestic pets, and farm animals. My clients, friends and family have entrusted me to watch their animals since I was 12. I believe that direct communication with pet owners will allow me to provide a safe and engaging experience for your animals. I work part-time from 10 am - 2 pm throughout the week. My work days change frequently but I am available outside of these hours for your caretaking needs. I will not be providing services in my home at this time. For pet sitting and walking services, I am available to stay in your home or do daily check ins. My goal is to be an accessible source for your animal while you travel or are at work. I will be available 24/7 via email or text after you book my services. Please provide me with any medical, dietary, or enrichment needs for your animal when you book my services. I always adhere to my clients wishes and will do my best to stick with your pet’s daily routine while in my care. If you have a dog who is friendly, I can provide additional enrichment with my three year old pup Zeus.

About: I’m a lifelong cat lover who understands that every feline has their own unique personality — from curious kittens who want to explore every corner to laid-back seniors who just want a sunny spot and soft pets. Over the years, I’ve cared for cats of all ages, temperaments, and special needs, including administering medication, maintaining feeding schedules, and keeping litter boxes fresh. I know cats thrive on routine and trust, so I take the time to earn their comfort — whether that means interactive play, quiet companionship, or just respecting their space. I’m also experienced in reading feline body language, so your cat will always feel safe, understood, and loved while you’re away. I work part-time, which gives me plenty of time to give your pets the love and attention they deserve! I’m available for boarding on weekends and weekdays, perfect for walks, playtime, and cuddles when you can’t be there. I believe pets feel safest when they’re treated like family. In my care, your pet will get plenty of love, attention, and a calm, comfortable environment. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine — from feeding and walks to playtime and cuddles — so they feel right at home. I will always put your pet’s safety and well-being first.
