I have a lot of experience with a wide variety of pets including many breeds of dogs and cats as well as rabbits, turtles, and Guinea pigs . My Boyfriend and I are experienced in taking care of pets in the comfort of their own homes.

About: Hi, I’m Destiny, a lifelong pet lover with years of experience caring for both dogs and cats! I’ve had cats in my family since I was 8 and have had my own cat for almost 4 years. I’ve also cared for and walked all size dogs from a chihuahua to a great dane, including my own family dogs back in high school. I know how important it is to provide pets with personalized attention, exercise, and enrichment. Whether it’s a high-energy walk, a relaxing stroll, or playtime with your furry friend, I make sure every pet gets the care they deserve. I’m also experienced with leash training, enrichment activities, and handling larger dogs. I'm happy to go over any specific instructions or needs for your pet to make sure they get care you want and the love they deserve! I'm currently working a full time job and looking for some extra work to make ends meet. I'm available all weekends and early mornings or evenings until sunset through the week. I'm also in the Albany area and can absolutely make a mid-day walk work if that's what you or your pet needs! With one cat at home, I can absolutely accommodate other kitties overnight. Unfortunately, dog sitting is not an option for me at the moment but I'm willing to go the extra mile to drop in for visits, walks, and can crate or settle them down when leaving them. I know you love your furry friend and want to give them the best care, I’m here to help in whatever way I can!

“Barbara was really caring and attentive to our puppy! She made sure to understand our puppy’s needs before meeting her and went above and beyond to make sure that we felt comfortable with our puppy in her care!”

“Heather was amazing!! She took such good care of Mac, left our home in great condition and communicated proactively. Also, we were so appreciative that she provided care for the weekend short notice (less than 24 hrs). Highly recommend.”

“Clyanna has been so friendly and responsive from the first meet-and-greet. We trusted her while we went on vacation with our baby pup, Lola, and she did amazing. I have no hesitation in saying that Clyanna is the right choice!”

“Allie was wonderful! We had her do house sitting while away for a week. She was tidy in the house and so responsive to any communications. Dependable and trust worthy. She took great care of the pups and spent a lot of time with them. Would definitely hire her again and recommend her to anyone looking!”

About: Hi! I’m Kristy and I would love to meet your pet! I have 8 years of professional pet care experience, as well as lifetime ownership of dogs and cats! Your pet’s comfort & ease while you’re away is my top priority! I strive to maintain your pet’s routine and environment while you are away, while being a relaxed and gentle presence for them. I love providing physical activity and mental stimulation to pets, whether that be through walks, hikes, or playing with toys. I have experience with breeds ranging from small Beagles to extra large Saint Bernards and all sizes in between, as well as puppies and senior dogs. I’d love to be your pets new best friend! I currently pet-sit part time and try to organize my schedule to best fit a client’s needs. I am able to stay overnight every day of the week and provide potty or exercise breaks every 4-5 hours (at most). When caring for pets in your home, I will treat your house with respect and keep a tidy environment for everyone’s benefit. I will try my best to stick to your pet’s normal schedule so they can be at peace while you’re away.

“Glenmary and her partner were phenomenal! I asked for a last minute puppy sitting (plus two older animals, a husky and a cat) and she was very responsive and even managed to do a meet and greet. 10/10, will definitely book again! Thank you!!”

Katherine A.

“Ozzy was amazing! They stayed at our house and watched our golden retriever Scotch and cat Persephone while we were away for the Thanksgiving holiday. They sent us pictures & video of our fur babies and kept us updated on how they were doing. It’s important to us to have our pet sitters stay in our home while we are away, our animals get stressed in new environments, and Ozzy was so great! Our animals need alllll the attention, and Ozzy did not disappoint! They came over a week before to meet our Scotch & Percy and learn about the house. They even left a card for when we got home! Ozzy is fantastic, our animals loved them and we will definitely use them in the future when we go away. Thank you Ozzy!”

Whitney P.

“Katherine did a fantastic job caring for my stubborn Great Dane. She made us both feel comfortable. She’s very caring and compassionate, as well as Punctual, flexible with her schedule, and tidy! I came home to a clean home just as I left it, with no type of mess left behind. She really cares about animals and it shows.”

About: About 20 years ago, one of my coworkers asked me if I would be interested in caring for her Border Collie and cat while she was away. Being an animal lover, I jumped at the opportunity. I thoroughly enjoyed hanging out with her pets at her home and taking her dog for regular walks around her neighborhood. Word spread among my coworkers, and I quickly became known as our program's pet sitter. :) Then I was invited to care for one coworker's Golden Retriever, rabbit, and cat; another's two Labrador Retrievers; another's two turtles; another's two cats; another's dog, fish, pony, and two horses; another's Old English Sheepdog; another's cat and flock of chickens; another's Labrador Retriever, etc. One of my advisors on my graduate committee even asked me to care for his house and livestock on his small farm consisting of 4 sheep, 1 rooster, and chickens while he was away. Everyone told me I did a great job, thanked me for my warm and loving care of their animals, and said upon their return that their animals seemed happy, relaxed, and very well taken care of. :) Years later, my husband and I bought a house with a fenced yard, adopted a young dog from the Mohawk Hudson Humane Society's animal shelter who loved to play with other dogs, and started to watch other people's dogs at our house. Now that our dog is a senior dog, he seems to prefer quiet time more and to not enjoy having so many different dogs at our house as much as he did when he was younger, other than his two best dog friends. I still love taking dogs for walks, playing with cats and dogs, and cuddling with cats and dogs, so I decided to offer the service of house sitting instead of boarding. I truly enjoy caring for animals, and I would love to care for additional animals. Thank you for reading my profile, and please contact me if you would like to schedule a meet-and-greet! I look forward to meeting you and your pet(s)! Currently, I work remotely during the week, and I work as a care companion for older adults in their homes on Friday evenings and Sundays. My longest work shift is 10 hours on Sundays. I provide pet-centered care, knowing each animal has unique needs and preferences. I understand the importance of maintaining routines in fostering an animal's sense of contentment and wellbeing, and I will do my best to maintain familiar routines. I am detail oriented and follow instructions carefully. I am a homebody and am quiet, but I love spending time in nature with animals, particularly going on walks with dogs or playing fetch with dogs outside. I will care for your pets as I do my own. :)

About: I’ve had animals throughout my entire life. When I was younger, my parents ran a boarding kennel and my father bred dogs. I grew up on a farm with about five horses, 35 dogs, several cats, a bird, lizards, fish, hermit crabs, etc. My father trained my brother and I to race sled dogs at a young age and we did that for several years along with horseback riding. With that being said, I have extensive experience with different types of animals, and I am confident that you’re fur baby will be in good hands and have the time of their life while under my supervision. Please feel free to reach out with any questions and I hope to hear from you soon! I am currently working at a private residence where I make my own hours , so I have plenty of time to take care of your baby! I can accommodate you and your pet(s)in whichever way you desire! I usually bring my little tuxedo cat with me on trips if it’s an overnight, but if you would rather me not, we can always work something out and discuss our options! (:

“Having Linda stay at my home to take care of my dog Moose was a great experience! She sent frequent updates including pictures to let me know how he was doing and seems to have developed a great relationship with him! I'm going to hire her to walk him as well on a regular basis :-)”
