About: Friends and family members have trusted me to care for their furry loved ones for as long as I can remember. Our furry friends deserve just as much love and care as we do. I work from home three days out of the week, so I am able to care for pets during the day. I am also incredibly available throughout the weekends and each weeknight. I maintain a consistent daily routine for feeding, potty breaks, and playtime to keep pets feeling secure and comfortable. I keep clients updated with photos and updates on their pets' well-being, so they can feel confident that their furry friend is in good hands. I create a pet-friendly environment with plenty of space for pets to roam, play, and relax. I ensure all areas are pet-proofed and free from hazards. Pets receive lots of attention, playtime, and cuddles. I offer enrichment activities like toys and outdoor walks.

About: I treat every pet like they’re my own—whether it’s for a quick walk, overnight stay, or just some extra playtime. With a calm, caring approach and a love for all animals, I’m committed to keeping your pet happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. You can count on reliable updates, attention to detail, and plenty of tail wags! I currently work full time as an emergency room technician at a local hospital. I would love to spend my days off with your animals! When caring for pets at their home, I follow your instructions closely to keep their routine consistent and stress-free. I make sure they’re fed, walked, played with, and given lots of affection—just like you would. I also keep their environment clean and safe, whether that means refreshing water bowls, scooping litter, or tidying up after playtime. I provide updates with photos so you always know your pet is happy and in good hands.

About: I’ve only been dog sitting for a few years but I make sure to treat them well. I’ve been teaching this stubborn 2 years old dog new commands and he’s learning well, I can try to train your dog new commands too. I still have school to go to but in the afternoon noons I’m free most of the time like starting at 3 pm. Taking walks on my own is a regular thing I do so taking your dog is no problem. I don’t have a crate at my home so if you’re fine with your dog not being in a crate then great. Dogs are allow to roam around whenever they like.

“Jose came to the rescue while we were on vacation after our house sitter had a difficult encounter while walking our very sweet, but dog reactive, Great Dane Charlie. Charlie loved his walks with Jose”

About: I've had pets my entire life and have been active in their care since early on. I have personal experience taking care of dogs, cats, bunnies, and rodents throughout my life. I've dog and cat sat (daily check-ins and overnight stays) for several people in my life over the years, including my close friends, coworkers, and bosses. I have recent experience with taking care of and aiding senior pets in their daily routine and have no issue administering medication as instructed by their veterinarians/owners. In addition, I have no issue maintaining consistency in training and providing mental stimulation for younger pets. I know that younger animals are learning and that they need time to process requests. I understand that pets can be unique in their behaviors and that their owners know them best. It's important to me to make sure pets are well taken care of and comfortable in their lives - and that can look different for different pets and owners. I'm a research-focused graduate student with a more flexible schedule than most, so I can visit multiple times throughout the day and night. I have my own car so I can easily travel to clients' homes and have seat-belt attachments to travel with animals in the car as well if the need arrises. I strive to keep things as consistent and predictable as possible, maintaining a pet's schedule as laid out by the owner. I've used a variety of leashes and feeding schedules over the years and find that it really depends on the dog/owner on which one works best. For example, my dog Wiggles likes to graze so she has access to food around the clock, but when I take care of my brother's dogs, they require a more structured feeding schedule that I adhere to for them.

About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 15 years, both personally and professionally. As a lifelong dog mom, I know firsthand how much our pets mean to us—they’re family. Beyond daily walks and playtime, I have experience with administering medications, caring for senior pets, and keeping anxious pups calm and comfortable. My background as a registered nurse has made me attentive, reliable, and detail-oriented, which carries over into the way I care for animals. You can trust that your pet will not only be safe with me, but also loved, spoiled, and treated with the same patience and compassion I give my own dogs. I am currently working part time and have availability in my schedule to love and care for your pet. I have pets of my own and would love nothing more than to have clients who are comfortable knowing they will receive care that is above and beyond. I treat all pets like they are my own. I have a fenced in yard where your pet can run and play. I also have spare rooms if they need to be separated for any reason, safety being my main concern.

“Amanda was great! She was on time and made sure to update me on my pup. Amanda was easy to work with and helped me out last minute ! Will definitely be booking her again in future (:”

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!

About: 30 years of training experience with all sized dogs, currently training one of my own for therapy dog, naturally ability to sync with dogs, and I’m known as a dog whisperer. I can popping or do nightly walks and open availability on the weekends. I’m happy to do multiple stops or walks, whatever is needed for you dog. I currently own three dogs that are all leash trained and allowed to use the back yard freely. My dogs are fed twice daily and let out as much as they need. I have a 4 month old, 1 year old, and 13 year old dog.

About: I’ve had 1-2 cats for the last 20 years. Since my husband is strictly a cat person, I got my doggy fix by volunteering at an animal shelter in NYC for years, where I walked dogs of all sizes and helped both dogs and cats find homes. I currently have 2 cats of my own that I have to give oral medication to regularly. I also have 1 human puppy with endless amounts of energy! I work from home. The workdays are pretty busy lately but I am available most weekends and Fridays if you need someone to drop by and care for your pets! My goal is to help your pets feel comfortable with me, which in turn will hopefully help you feel more comfortable being away from them.

“This was my first time using Rover and Kotun has been great to work with. From the second she met him, Kotun was understanding and attentive to my deaf puppy's special needs. She is punctual, reliable and responsive to communications. Highly recommend!”

About: Growing up I’ve had dogs for as long as I can remember. I’ve cared for dogs for over 18 years I’ve had full responsibility of up to 4 dogs at a time. Most of my experience with with dogs under 20lbs but I’m excited for the opportunity to care for bigger dogs. All of the dogs I’ve had in my life were rescued, and I have dealt with an array of behaviors from separation anxiety to traumatic fear of anything and everyone to anxiety that manifests in aggressive or destructive behavior. I know every pup is different and will need a unique approach in care. Training is something I’m experienced in whether it’s a new pup learning the ropes or just a skill you’re working on with your dog. My two favorite skills I’ve taught my dog Luna is to dance on her hind legs, and to ring a door bell when she has to go potty outside. If you are working on any training with your pup and would like me continue your hard work - just let me know! From sit, stay, place when walking in, or a potty cue, I’m happy to work with you both to stay on course for your goals! Senior care is something I’m very experienced and passionate about. My last little guy, Jo, was around 16 years old, blind, deaf, and had multiple medical conditions with the most challenging being Collapsing Trachea. Administering most medications is something I’m very comfortable doing as my little man had between 5 and 8 medicines he took daily. I’m hyper aware of little shakes and bumps that may seem out of the ordinary due to Jo’s many needs. My knowledge and attention to detail in senior dogs will make sure every pup will get the exercise and gentle care they need while keeping them comfortable no matter the adaptions they may need. A few preventative things I pay attention to with each and every pup in my care are: - Stool: abnormal color or texture can be a sign of stomach or organ distress and can be easy to miss if you aren’t looking for it. - Urine: pet UTI’s are more common than you may think, and also can be easy to miss in early stages. Frequency and color can sometimes be a warning of UTI’s. After a vet misdiagnosed my childhood dog Gigi as being overweight instead of a UTI, she ended up in the hospital with emergency surgery as her organs were shutting down. Since then, simple daily color and frequency monitoring has helped me make sure all my other pets were healthy and comfortable. - Abnormal behavior: lethargy, difference in appetite, and trouble going to the bathroom are all things I pay attention to with each pup I’m spending time with. Increased aggression or constipation can be early signs of illness. Each visit will have feedback on these specific items if they were out of the ordinary to make sure you know exactly how our walk or visit went! These notes can also be helpful in finding patterns of behavioral or medical attention that may be needed on top of peace of mind while you’re away. I also have experience with very anxious dogs. As a child, I had adopted a rescued puppy mill mama and went to great lengths to make sure she progressed, was trained, and slowly but surely began trusting that not all humans are bad. In February 2025 I adopted another rescued puppy mill mama, Olive, and am going through the same patient training and bonding to help her learn that her new life is safe and filled with love. Working from home with flexible hours helps to make me available at almost any time during the week. Making sure pets have daily exercises, mentally stimulating toys and treats, and snuggles daily are top priority. Caring for fur baby’s in your home will be completely adaptable to your their current routine - do they have a specific routine to be followed? Do they only like going in the backyard? Do they need a minimum walk of 20 minutes? Their routine or need is my command. Shoes off in the house, filtered water only in their bowls, rinse and wash the bowls before refilling, nothing is too much for your pet’s comfort and safety.

About: I am a true animal lover. I literally cannot be without pets or my life is incomplete. I have a ton of experience with animals, including dogs, cats, horses, and reptiles. I had a dog for ten years but he passed away in March 2018. I currently have a 3 year old bulldog mix and 3 cats. I work from home so my schedule is very flexible. I can always squeeze in some time for your pet's needs whether it be walking, playing, or cuddling. I like to keep my home very organized. I take my dog out and feed at consistent times each day. My cats are on an automatic feeder and get their wet food from me at night,
