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.
“Aubrey did a wonderful job looking after our home and five animals. We came home to a spotless house and happy cats and dogs! She was an excellent communicator and provided nice updates and pictures. We look forward to hiring her again!”

“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.”


“Another great visit. Jacqueline is always communicative and available, which gives me so much peace. We looked forward for next weeks sitting as well.”
