Mary communicated well and took very good care of my dogs. She was nice and respectful during our meet and greet. During my trip she gave good updates about my dogs, and took cute pictures.

About: I love all animals and am always excited to get to meet new loving dogs and cats. Based in the Capital Region 10min from downtown Albany NY. I have done some dog sitting privately for a pampered pup. I love dogs of all breeds and sizes. Attended the dog show meet the breeds in new york city. Dependable and responsible dog walker at your service also flexible to meet your schedule. I get along well with most any animal and have three purrfect cats and fish at home. I love to get outside myself to hike and enjoy the outdoors. I'm confident that I can be a great asset to any owner in need of an extra set of hands. Also drop in service for feeding or potty breaks is available. Looking forward to meeting your furry friends. Working remotely with a flexible schedule. I love going for walks several times throughout the day myself. Always excited to have a furry friend along. Three happy cats at home that demand to be fed promptly at 6am and 6pm. They get lots of love and attention. Treats from time to time but not too much.

Alyssa was MORE than we could have hoped for in a dog sitter. She was so attentive with both our dogs. She took all of their special instructions gladly and made sure they received the level of care that we give. We got messages through the day with updates and pictures. She stayed at our house and the house was just as we left it when we returned. The level of care and professionalism that Alyssa provides is exceptional. By the time we got home from our trip I think they were disappointed to see us walk through the door and not her. 😂😂

We are so pleased with the experience we had with Chelsea. She was great about keeping us informed about how our pups were doing. She texted us and sent us pictures every day while we were out of town. We would definitely recommend Chelsea for anyone looking for someone to care for their pups.

About: I’ve raised many dogs growing up and into my adult life. I have a great passion all animals but dogs especially. From walks in the park to learning basic commands, or making your anxiety filled pet feel safe and comfortable, I can do it all I’m currently working a part time job with my parents so I have plenty of time and energy to give to your best friends. My hobbies keep me at my home while working, so I’m available to drop what I’m doing and assist with whatever it is you need! Pets deserved to be treated as an extension of your family and I will treat them as such. I want my clients to feel happy that I’m coming over and your dogs to show their excitement because we have built a relationship and are excited to see me. That being said i will acclimate myself to your needs and make sure your dog is cared for in a way that you can feel stress free while you are not at home.

About: Growing up I have always lived helping others and even helping animals. As a young kid, I grew up surrounded by all kinds of animals. Although my college plan is to become a special education teacher, I have always had a passion for animals. I really enjoy giving animals a voice and creating special bonds with them. Over the years my family has rescued over 8 animals including dogs and cats. I have been dog sitting for 3 years now for family friends and I am willing to do it for anyone in need. Animals have always left an impact on my life and I hope I do the same to them. I am not doing this for the money but to help many animals in need, as well as their owners. I really hope I am able to give endless love to you pet or pets. Thank you.

I'm so glad Amanda was able to petsit for a last-minute, quick overnight trip. We had good communication and she left my house exactly how she found it, what more could you want from a sitter?
