About: Our house has been filled with rescues for the last 30 years. We have always tried to help them adjust to their new surroundings by providing lots of belly rubs and chin scratches. We have always tried to make our fur-babies feel as if they were part of the family. I am centrally located between Colonie, Guilderland and Albany. I have lots of time to care for your little ones whenever your pets need that little extra something until you return. I have a fenced in yard and a loveable pup to keep your dog company. We have a seperate fenced in area in case your pup needs their own space.
“Lindsay was amazing with the care for my dog while I traveled abroad . She kept me updated and sent pictures. This is the first time I left him for longer then 3 days and she made sure he was happy and safe.”

“Sydney is the best! She is extremely helpful, professional and attentive to my dog's needs. She is always on time and thorough with her visits. Couldn't ask for a better sitter!”


About: I’ve been an animal lover all my life❤️ I have been catsitting and dog walking since I was around 13 years old! I bring a calm, attentive, and nurturing presence to every pet I care for. I have experience caring for both energetic young pets who need structure and consistency, as well as senior pets who benefit from a gentler pace and close monitoring. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions, administering oral medications if needed (I have 3 cats and 2 of them require medications themselves so I already do this daily!) and maintaining routines so your pet feels safe and secure while you’re away. I’ll keep you updated with thoughtful check-ins, photos, and honest updates so you can relax knowing your pet is in capable hands. I work full time from 7:30 AM to 2:30 PM, Monday through Friday. I am available for dog walks and drop-in visits before 7:30 AM and anytime after 2:30 PM on weekdays. I’m also available on weekends with advance notice. I strive to be flexible when possible and am happy to discuss specific scheduling needs to ensure your pet receives consistent, reliable care. I provide attentive, reliable care for pets in the comfort of their own home. I understand how important it is for animals to stay in their familiar environment and maintain their usual routine while you’re away. During drop-in visits, I can let your dog out for bathroom breaks, provide fresh food and water, administer oral medications if needed, and ensure they get appropriate exercise and playtime. I’m also comfortable crating dogs when required and following any specific household or training routines you have in place. For cats and other pets, I handle litter box cleaning, feeding and companionship tailored to their personality and comfort level. I always aim to leave your home just as I found it and will send detailed updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.
“Pam is a very good doggie day care provider. I felt instantly comfortable with her and I could tell with her interactions with my dogs that she truly loves animals. She was with my dogs the whole visit and sent me pictures of them. So good to find a person like Pam when you need help with your fur babies.”

“Ashleigh was great! She sent pictures and updates, and patiently put up with my unneeded chitchat. :-) I've already scheduled her for out next trip. The Rover app is so easy to use, and very well thought out.”

“Bradley was so great with my dog Midnight! His communication was amazing and I felt at ease leaving my dog in Bradley’s care. He went above and beyond to make sure my dog had what he needed while I was away and I am so grateful to have found him!!”

“Merrisa was a fabulous sitter!! Her dedicated care and thoughtful communication left both our beloved Diego and us at ease! Highly recommend!!! Thank you for everything 🫶🏾”

“Amanda was great! We wanted the dogs to get exercise and be tired and she did just that: played fetch the whole time! She has an Aussie herself so we had no doubts she knew what she was doing. Will definitely book again!”

About: I love all animals so much I will do anything to protect your fur baby and keep them safe! I have some experience with puppies and lots of experience with older dogs! I have pet sat multiple times, taken dogs on walks and outside to play! Pet care fits into my daily routine because I have lots of time on my hands, my mornings are typically free as well as my afternoons I will keep your pet safe in your home by double checking any locks on crates, doors, or fences I will have eyes on your fur baby at all times to make sure nothing happens to them!
About: I’ve taken care of all sorts of animals since I was 13, and I’m especially comfortable with cats and dogs. I have loads of patience for cats and dogs with anxiety, kittens and puppies, and senior pets as well. They’re family, and I love to help in any way I can to ensure your family is happy and healthy! I work full time as a tattoo artist Tuesday-Saturdays from 2-8:30pm. I am available before 1:30 pm Tuesdays and Saturdays, anytime before 5pm on Sundays, and before 7pm on Mondays! However, please feel free to message me about nights Sundays and Mondays as I’m happy to try and move things around. If you need someone at your home to care for pets, I can be there! I’ve watched other people’s lovely pets overnight in the past, and as long as I’m given somewhat of a tour/instructions I am happy to care for them overnight!
“Megan did a great job with our three cats, She is very warm and affectionate with animals. Medication administration was done with great care. Instructions were followed well. She was very understanding about one of our cats who is wary of strangers. Very happy with her service, especially because it was a last minute request!”

“Jessica was fantastic with my cat! I arrived home after having to travel for work to a healthy and happy cat and an apartment that was just the way I had left it. Jessica provided a clear summary of each visit and was overall a great catsitter! Will book again.”

About: I do senior care, special needs, puppies, play time, walking and bathing. I do not mind cleaning up after your animals and I plan to bond with them. I do not just come and go like most people, I plan to give your animals joy when I visit. I have worked in a vet clinic for approx a year so I do have some specialized skills administering meds when needed and cleaning up after them. I can board one pet at a time , only on weekends ( Friday night - Sunday) when I board animals I do not have my cat present , as they will be kept separated. I do have a large kennel and a lot of space to play in the fenced yard. My schedule is flexible. I am very open on weekends, nights and holidays. I also accept same-day cancellations for emergencies and same day appointments because I understand life happens. I create a loving and safe environment for the animals I care for. I believe that the animals I care for will Bond with me, especially if I am coming back routinely. I think that is important for the animals to have a happy and fun experience and a very loving and trusting experience.
About: I am a 27 year old wife and mom to one baby, one dogs and a cat. I have ample experience with training animals, as I trained my two dogs, one whom passed and one who is now 8, on my own and am in the process of training my 2 year old cat. I am skilled in senior animal care, as I grew up with Labrador’s my entire life who required senior and end of life care, such as diapering and mobility. One of my dogs has a chronic illness, which has made me trained in medication management and administration to ensure he remains healthy. My pets are my whole world, so you can know that in my care your pets will never be without attention and love! While I am busy with my own family, I can make myself available any day and any time to give your animals attention and love! As I am the primary caregiver to my child, I will have him with me for walking. However, he will be strapped to my chest in a carrier and unable to directly interact with your pet, unless you tell me it’s okay! I currently live in an apartment, but my dog is walked multiple times a day for extended periods to allow him to explore the world and get some energy out! This would be the same with your pets. My cat is consistently entertained, and I usually spend a great chunk of my nights wearing him out.

I had a wonderful experience with Stacie and would highly recommend her! Great attention to detail, awesome communication, and so caring with my kitties. There was an unexpected hiccup during the reservation (not Stacie’s fault) that she handled so well, which I very much appreciated. She really went above and beyond to make sure my kitties were cared for!
