House Sitting Fortsville

About: I grew up with a cat and now have a 6 year old dog of my own, so I understand pets of all personalities and energy levels. I've also cared for two dogs at once, including a reactive one, so I'm comfortable with multi dog households. I work remotely, which means I'm available on weekdays for walks or drop ins, especially if you're nearby in Glens Falls. I treat every pet like my own and I'm reliable, attentive, and easy to communicate with. I work from home so my hours are flexible, which makes me available for drop in visits or dog walking during the day. Weekends are generally open as well for overnight stays or drop in visits, so I’m happy to work around your pets schedule. I’m an attentive dog mom to my own pup, so I bring that same level of care and attention to every visit, making sure your pet gets the affection they need.

“Anneke was such a pleasure to work with! Both my dogs loved her, she was prompt and communicative, sent lots of photos and I knew they were in great hands! I will definitely be asking her to help in the future!”

“Adriana was perfect. She handled Loki’s anxiety perfectly. She stayed in constant contact and sent many photos. We would definitely book her again. After her 10 day in home sitting we couldn’t even tell someone had been in the home as she left it emaculate. We feel she went above and beyond”

“Tyra took such good care of our babies! We especially needed the extra TLC after unexpectedly losing a cat the day before vacation. Thank you Tyra!”

“Brianne did an amazing job taking care of our home and pets. We have a dog and 3 cats which one of them is elderly and high maintenance. We also had an unplanned house issue that she handled quickly and professionally. She communicated, sent pics and asked appropriate questions. We came home to everything in order. It’s hard leaving your pets/home in the hands of someone you don’t know, I will definitely use Brianne again!”

Angie T.

“Brittney was a wonderful sitter for our fur baby, she took great care of her! She sent pictures and updates, left the house spotless - we were so pleased and wouldn’t hesitate to book her again!”

“Cliff stayed over last minute due to a work trip. I appreciate his flexibility and knowing my pups were safe while I was gone.”

About: I’ve had cats my entire life and a dog since I was ten. I’ve also been volunteering at animal shelters since the beginning of 2024! I have a calm energy which is great for putting anxious pets at ease. I have the most experience with small dogs but love dogs of all sizes! I have the most availability on weekends but I have no problem making weeknight visits to provide your pets with the care they deserve! I have my own car so transportation is not an issue. Pet safety whether out and about or in your home is my top priority! I am careful to observe animal body language so I can better know when to give a pet space or remove them from a distressing situation. If you have any care or safety concerns that are specific to your home or pet, do not hesitate to let me know!

“Joyce was an amazing house sitter for us! Fun daily pictures, videos, and updates. We will definitely be booking you again Joyce!”

About: I have taken care of my own dogs and cats for over 5 years and I have also taken care of my family’s pets as well!! You can always trust me to give your furry friends the love and attention they need when you aren’t around! I absolutely love being around animals and can’t wait to meet your pets!! Thank you! :) My availability is pretty flexible right now! Most of the time I’ll be able to take same day requests, as long as I’m not working at my other job!! I will always give the best care to your pet and always respect your home. I will treat them like they are my own babies!

About: I got my first dog when I was in 3rd grade and couldn't imagine life without them now. I spent the last 12 years working with animals as well as having a full house at home. Both my dogs, champ and Oliver, I raised from 8 weeks old and did all their training myself. I have been doing walks and drop ins for 2 years now and have references available upon request! I am a stay at home mom so it's very easy to fit in providing the excellent care for your fur babies to my schedule! I can do anything needed, whether it's basic a stop during the day or if you need more specific detailed care like medicine administered. We will adjust my care routine to the needs of your fur baby.

“Jess was great! She came and did a meet and greet with us and Riley was excited to meet her. She was on time, friendly, and took great care of our pup (and kitty) while we were out of town for a wedding! She sent daily updates, was super communicative, and did a great job making us feel better our first time leaving our fur babies. We’ll definitely be using her in the future!”

Alex G.

“Mark did a great job looking after our very very senior dog and our much more energetic young dog. We had good communication and clearly good care was given. Thank you Mark!”

Catherine H.

“Taylor was incredible and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter! She was responsive to messages from the start, was quick to confirm her availability and set up a meet & greet, and took amazing care of our dogs while we were away. She sent daily updates with pictures, which were so much fun to receive! We would absolutely hire Taylor again the next time we travel.”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the level of individualized care and attention I give every dog. I don’t just “watch” pets — I truly get to know their personalities, routines, and needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I have experience training puppies, including basic commands, leash manners, crate training, and reinforcing positive behaviors. I’m also confident caring for senior dogs who may need a slower pace, extra patience, or mobility support. Whether your pup is high-energy and playful or calm and cuddly, I adapt to their unique temperament. I prioritize clear communication, regular photo updates, and creating a stress-free experience for both pets and owners. Your dog’s safety, happiness, and well-being always come first. Pet care is a natural part of my daily and weekly routine — I intentionally structure my schedule to make sure I have dedicated, unhurried time for each dog. Whether it’s morning walks, midday check-ins, playtime, feeding schedules, or evening cuddles, I plan my days around the pets in my care so they receive consistent attention and companionship. I build flexibility into my week to accommodate different energy levels and needs, from active pups who love longer walks to seniors who prefer shorter, gentler outings. Because I prioritize reliability and routine, your dog can count on consistent care, and you can count on dependable communication and updates. Caring for pets isn’t something I squeeze in — it’s something I genuinely make space for. In My Home: When pets stay with me, I create a calm, safe, and welcoming environment that feels as close to their normal routine as possible. I follow your feeding schedules, potty routines, exercise needs, and any specific instructions you provide. Dogs receive plenty of supervised playtime, walks, mental stimulation, and affection. I’m mindful of introductions (if other pets are present), keep the space clean and secure, and make sure every dog has a comfortable area to rest and relax. In Your Home: When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their usual routine to reduce stress. I stick closely to feeding times, walks, and preferred activities. I also respect your home by keeping things tidy, bringing in mail if requested, and ensuring everything is secure before I leave. My goal is to make your absence feel as smooth and normal as possible for your pet. For both services, I prioritize safety, communication, and regular photo updates so you always know how your pet is doing. I treat every animal as if they were my own — with patience, attentiveness, and lots of love.

“Amazing sitter! She took such great care of my dog, made sure he got all his meds on time, fed him well, and spent lots of time playing fetch (his favorite!). She also went the extra mile by keeping my place tidy, grabbing my mail, and taking the trash out on pickup day. I came home to a happy dog and a clean house. Couldn’t ask for more—highly recommend!”

About: My house has been full of pets for as long as I can remember. I grew up with three cats of my own, both indoor and outdoor, as well as several family members dogs, including Cocker Spaniels and a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. I was also fortunate enough to spend time around neighborhood dogs that became a big part of my childhood. Over the years, my family has cared for many cats. We currently have six indoor cats ranging in age from nine years to six months. Every one of them was taken in as a stray when they were less than a month old, and we raised them ourselves. In addition to caring for my own pets, I have spend years helping neighbors with their dogs. I have regularly babysat, boarded, and walked dogs of various breeds, including a Goldendoodle and a Jack Russell Terrier. Being surrounded by so many different animals has taught me how to adapt my care to each pet's individual needs. Pets have always been an important part of my life, and the experience I have gained caring for them has given me a deep appreciation for the responsibility, patients, and companionship that come with animal care. I am home for college for the summer (June-August), so I have an extremely flexible schedule. I am available to help out at you and your pets convince. I have a secluded backyard along with a large, walkable neighborhood and fields and trails within walking distance. There are cats inside the house and dogs in neighboring yards. I am happy to provide your dog with its own, cat-free room if it's preferred.

“Colleen is the absolute best!! She took phenomenal care of our pup and he adored her. I would re-book in an instant!!”

About: Hi, I’m Shawn! I have spent the last few years working in a professional doggy daycare and boarding facility. While I love animals, I realized that massive, chaotic pack environments aren't the best fit for my philosophy of care—or for many dogs. I transitioned to independent pet sitting so I could give individual animals the quiet, focused, and low-stress attention they truly deserve. Because of my professional background, I am highly trained in dog body language, safety protocols, and keeping pets calm and happy. Your dog will never have to compete for attention or feel overwhelmed here! I do work part time but i am very interested, thoroughly enjoy working with animals and looking to pet sit/walk/board full time!! Thank you! I have a nice big open yard at my home, I do have 3 cats inside my home. In clients homes i always make sure the boundaries and any feeding/medication instructions are clear and precise!

About: I’ve taken care of many animals, including reptiles and rodents. There’s no animal that I don’t know how to not take care of all animals are welcome. I work early in the mornings I work 4 AM to 12 afternoon. I’m able to be there for the afternoon afternoons and nights for your animal and up the road if anything happens. I have saved environment for the animal. I do not have fence,but I do have a backyard that I can walk the dog around or cat around. I do have one cat in my roommate has two but they’re all very friendly.
