“Went above and beyond!”

About: I have owned dogs my entire life and held many dog-sitting jobs throughout college. I am very intuitive and know the Capital Region well, so I am able to find the best walks and treatment specific to your pups! I enjoy being active and am excited at the opportunity to keep your dog healthy and active as well. I also have a car so getting to and from your home will be done with ease so I can focus my time on caring for your dogs with long walks, playing and feeding. I work remotely, so I have some flexibility with scheduling. I am open to dog-sitting at your house as I have done for up to two week periods of time for families with many dogs throughout DC. I work remotely, so I’m able to be very attuned to your pup and their needs! On demand walks and cuddles during the day are my favorite. I have a fenced back yard, but am open to staying at your home as well. We can work out what is best for your pup.

“First time using Elizabeth to walk my girl while I was at work . Everything went well and they both had good time so I will certainly use Elizabeth again . Sent me some nice pictures from the walk on the report card”

About: Hi There! I'm Becky, and I am a total animal lover, I have long term experience working with pets. I am comfortable around all different types of pets, including those with extra needs. I am outdoorsy and am able to create a fun, healthy environment for your pet. I have 2 dogs one high energy Jack Russel mix named Pixie and my big mamas boy Jack who’s a black lab mix. Along with my two pups I also have 3 cats of all different breeds and ages, 3 slinky little ferrets. I have experience taking care of them, feeding, grooming, walking, playing with them and loving them! I love all types of breeds and I am not unwilling to work with any. I am very caring, loving, and nurturing and I promise your pets will love me! I currently work part time with a set schedule, which allows me to be very flexible to make time for your animals love and attention. I have a big fenced in backyard but unfortunately dont have the ability to board in my house because of all my fur babies. It would put a stress on them that I’m not willing to take.

About: I have two golden doodles who mean the world to me, but aside from my own pets i have made sure to surround myself with animals my whole life so far (I'm 27 currently) i grew up helping out friends and neighboors with animal care. to me pets are not just pets they are family. I love being outdoors going for walks myself so I take a great deal of pride being able to help someone with the joy in their life and incorporating it into what I already love to do. I currently work full time monday-Thursday with friday, saturday,and sunday off. I will be available any of those three days off for any service someone is requesting, and I am open to commuting aswell. I have two golden doodles who I treat them same as my closest and dearest friends/family. It would be no different with anyone else. One of my biggest beliefs is that respect and kindness speaks for itself and goes a long way so im very geared towards the needs, wants, requirements ect... that a client has or is requesting.

About: I have taken care of pets since I was a little kid! I have experience with pets of all types, ages & personalities. Friends & family have relied on me to walk, feed & housesit for their animals. I work full time time job but I have most mornings free. My schedule rotates so I would not be able to have the same availability every week, but please reach out with dates & times! I would love to make something work. I can come to your house and walk your dog. If you are interested in an overnight board at my house the dog would have to be good with my 15lb poodle mix & two cats. It would be ideal that the dog comes with a crate to stay in, as my dog is crated as well when we are out of the house. I do not have a fenced in yard, but I live near a dog park, and in a nice spot to walk dogs.

About: I’ve had 3 dogs, 3 cats and now also a Guinea pig. I’ve cared for a variety of animals from fancy mice, ferrets, parrots, billy goats, and horses. I have narcolepsy so my sleep schedule is kinda like a cat so working with animals gives me a schedule set by your pet and then I can take my “catnaps” around them. I come you your pet so they feel safe and secure in their own home. I try my very best to not leave any trace that I’ve been there other than your happy and content pet. And sending you a picture of your pet while I’m there may make your day better knowing that your pet is happy

About: I have taken care of animals ever since I was a little girl. I have walked and cared for many animals. I have experience volunteering at local animal shelters as well. I am currently a teacher, and I am looking for summer work to keep me busy! I hope you consider me when looking for the perfect match to care for your animals! I will have plenty of time to care for your animals, as I am a teacher and have an open schedule in the summer! I have no problem waking up early, or traveling for work! I am very respectful when it comes to caring for animals, I have my own pets and understand the value of hiring someone you can trust. I also understand the responsibility of caring for animals in someone's home. I can guarantee you nothing but respect when working with your animals!

About: As a mom of 5 teenagers, I often prefer dogs to people! (Though I am sure my girl dog, Harley, is picking up some attitude from them!) I’ve had dogs most of my life, and I have often cared for my friends and family’s pets, as well. I currently have three dogs, including a 15-year old Yorkie. Experienced with feeding, giving medicine, crates, walking, play, and, of course, petting and loving! I’m currently off for the summer, so I have lots of time to help with your dog(s)! Walking, playing, feeding, keeping them company - I am happy to make it work! I understand the importance of consistency and schedules, so I am happy to follow your rules and preferences for your dog. While I will love them as if they were my own, I won’t return them as if I sent them to my Grandma’s to be spoiled! I believe in positive reinforcement, treats if you do them, lots of love and positive words, playtime, and meeting them where they’re at.

About: I’m Jess and I’m a full time programmer looking to spend time with dogs! I have had dogs all my life including small and large (150lbs!!) I have had 4 dogs in total since I have been born. I recently moved back home into my own apartment and I’m not able to care for my own dog. I’ve taken care of my own dogs my entire life and I miss it quite a bit! While I’m home, I want to provide dogs care while keeping myself busy as well! I’m very flexible and I’m a hard worker! If there are specifics to your dog, I promise to follow them to the T. If you need me at a moments notice, I will get back to you ASAP. Dogs truly are a mans best friend and I want to keep them in my company! I work full time and I can care for dogs in the morning and evening. I can do an occasional walk during my lunch. I also work from home and there is some flexibility around when I can do that. I love building connections with dogs. I know that it is probably super scary for them to have a stranger come into their home. I do not push dogs past their comfort zones. I let them warm up to me on their own schedule.

It's all about creating a structured and loving routine that ensures the well-being and happiness of the pets in my care. When caring for pets in my home, I ensure a safe and comfortable environment.

About: Growing up we bred St Bernard’s, and throughout childhood we had Chihuahuas, a Boxer & a Jack Russell Terrier, so I am very comfortable with any size dog! I currently own a 6 year old Corgi that I have had since he was a puppy and a 4 year old Pitbull that we rescued when she was a year old, so I am comfortable with any breed as well! I understand you don’t want your fur babies to sit home alone all day, especially if they are crated when you’re not home, so they can run around and stretch their legs. I’m a new mom and have 4 animals at my house. I love caring for them and love to care for yours too! I have 2 other jobs but I do love to squeeze in hanging out with your pets when I can to help out Whether you have a fenced in yard, a run, or need me to leash your fur baby for a nice long walk, I can tend to any of their needs! I remain calm and patient as new animals warm up to me and will make sure they are safe (crated or not), well fed and hydrated before I leave.

“Julia does such a fantastic job with our rambunctious dog Maya! Julia is patient and encouraging with Maya and communicative with us on how things are going with Maya. We are very happy with having Julia as a walker and sitter for Maya.”

About: In my house, our pets are our family and they rule the house. My goal as a pet sitter is to provide animals with the best care and put owners at ease while they’re away. I have found a passion for caring for others’ animals which started many years ago when i began volunteering. From volunteering, I have experience with many different breeds and sizes of both dogs and cats and I also have experience administering medication, taking care of dogs with special needs, and LOTS of drool! By word of mouth, I have gained many clients in my area and continue to provide the best care I can for every family and their furry friends! I am currently a sophomore at Siena College. Therefore, while classes are in session, I stick to weekends only. In the summertime, I am available every day of the week and I typically work 4-6 hour days. I offer in-home care at the convenience of you and your pets. Boarding is expensive and pets are nowhere nears as spoiled as they would be with me! Keeping your pets in your home while you are gone will ease their anxiety (as well as yours) and provide the best level of comfort for them. I offer the in-home care as well as dog walking and occasional drop-ins!

“Victoria is the best!!! It was great to leave our dog home while away on vacation. I received daily updates with pictures of their afternoon walks. I would highly recommend her. She was very professional and reliable.”

About: I’m a lifelong cat lover who understands that every feline has their own unique personality — from curious kittens who want to explore every corner to laid-back seniors who just want a sunny spot and soft pets. Over the years, I’ve cared for cats of all ages, temperaments, and special needs, including administering medication, maintaining feeding schedules, and keeping litter boxes fresh. I know cats thrive on routine and trust, so I take the time to earn their comfort — whether that means interactive play, quiet companionship, or just respecting their space. I’m also experienced in reading feline body language, so your cat will always feel safe, understood, and loved while you’re away. I work part-time, which gives me plenty of time to give your pets the love and attention they deserve! I’m available for boarding on weekends and weekdays, perfect for walks, playtime, and cuddles when you can’t be there. I believe pets feel safest when they’re treated like family. In my care, your pet will get plenty of love, attention, and a calm, comfortable environment. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine — from feeding and walks to playtime and cuddles — so they feel right at home. I will always put your pet’s safety and well-being first.

About: Hi friends! a little about me, I grew up on a farm which has given me a lot of experience with different kinds of animals, including horses, pigs, rabbits, chickens, ducks, cows and many small animals like Guinea pigs, hamsters, and sugar gliders. I currently work at a dog rescue advancing my career as a dog trainer. Since before I can remember I’ve had cats and dogs in my home and am very comfortable handling all kinds of animals. I currently have a Great Pyrenees/Black lab/Blue heeler named Bently, a German shepherd/husky named Luna, 3 cats and 2 rabbits. I work with a wide variety of temperaments, breeds, sizes and quirks daily and am confident handling almost every dog. I can properly use a prong, starmark, slip lead or long line. I am also comfortable administering meds if your baby needs them. I can also do nail trims for a little extra charge if needed just ask! I can assure you that if you pick me, your baby will be in safe hands! I am currently only available in the evenings after 5pm through the week and all day Sunday & Monday but send me a message and I might be able to work something out 🫶🏻. I am flexible and can make almost anything work. My puppy has a routine we follow and I would love to help keep your pup in theirs while you’re away! Send me a message and let me know what you’re looking for!

About: I have over 10 years of experience as both a dog-sitter and cat-sitter. From high-energy large dogs to senior cats with special needs, I have done it all — and I love them all the same. My lifestyle works well for pets that require someone to be with them 24/7 due to factors like separation anxiety, medical needs, potty training, and more. I currently work from home, so I am available around-the-clock. My schedule works well for animals that need a high level of care or attention. I have a large, un-fenced yard for potty breaks and will always use a leash. In my home, we have a very small (4 lb.), low-energy female senior poodle and two low-key cats that keep to themselves. Your animals will need to be comfortable around both small dogs and cats in order to stay with us.
