Dog Sitting in Hoosick Falls

“Ashlie was great! She took care of everything the cats needed while we were away, and stayed a while on her visits to play with and pet them. We really enjoyed the pictures she took, and our cats are not easy subjects. We will happily book Ashlie's services again.”

About: I have been around animals most of my life. I did have a dog growing up, he passed away a few years ago. I have also taken care of tarantulas, snakes, fish, other reptiles, cats and dogs. I now live with my fiance and we have two dogs that are very friendly. My schedule is open, I am off from work on weekends and get out of work around 3:00PM. Please let me know if your dog or cat has any special medicine. Your dog must get along with other animals as I have two dogs myself. I am working full-time from 7:30AM-3:30PM. I have weekends off. My schedule is flexible as long as I am notified a few days in advance. I know emergencies do happen. I will try to accommodate everyone. I am available on most holidays. I have a large outdoor kennel where the dogs love to run and play. My house inside is large and they will get plenty of love and attention.

About: Hey weekend warrior — go chase that sunrise, tackle that trail, or book that last-minute getaway. I’ve got your pet covered. I work full-time from home and am a total homebody, which means your furry friend will have a calm, comfy space while you’re out exploring. Whether it’s boarding, walks, or drop-in visits, I make sure your pet gets love, attention, and a little bit of spoiling so you can enjoy your adventures without worry. Pet care fits into my life in a very natural way. I already balance work, parenting, and home responsibilities, so adding pet sitting into my routine feels seamless. Evenings and weekends are when I’m most available, and I enjoy spending that time walking, playing, or just giving attention to animals—it’s a healthy balance for me and a joy for my daughter as well. She’s 9 years old, responsible, and gentle with animals, so when she’s with me, she helps provide extra love and care. Pet sitting isn’t something I see as an added task; it’s something that blends into my lifestyle and allows me to combine family time with my love for animals. I have a secure fenced yard, a friendly animal loving 9 year old who loves furry friends, and quiet spots for solo relaxation. I follow your pet’s routines to a T, and always keep their comfort and safety top of mind — so you can focus on your adventure, not your worries.

“Abby is terrific: Smart, reliable, professional, and knowledgeable about many types of animals. Ours were special needs in that they were BUNNIES, and it was so great to learn that Abby is studying to become a vet specializing in exotic animals (like rabbits). When we did the initial meet and greet, the buns were sooo relaxed with her. They're typically a bit skittish around strangers, but they couldn't stop yawning in her presence, lol. She was very loving and attentive, too, and we really appreciated the peace of mind she gave us on our recent trip.”

About: I’ve always took a liking to animals and always had postive bonds with them. Over the years of growing up my grandfather owned several big dogs and cats. While others would shy away, not me I always helped out and didn’t mind watching them. I only work mornings and part time so that I have time for my cat as well because he needs to be watched. After my morning shifts I have all day to spend time outside to walk the dogs and get them their daily exercise. Caring for any pet at my home or others will be very similar I will need to know any notes and any restrictions for me and the dog. As I would give them my complete attention so that it’s a little vacation for them as well as subtracting feeling neglected.

“Caitlynn is the absolute best. I have 3 crazy pitbulls and she handles them beautifully. They are not easy dogs to keep safe, but Caitlynn makes it look effortless. It’s been years since my husband and I have been able to travel, but now that we have Caitlynn in our lives there are many things that we can look forward to knowing we can count on her. She stayed for over 2 hours getting to know us, our home, and furbabies before we had her over. She really made sure we were all comfortable and we are so grateful for that. We love Caitlynn and can’t wait to have her back💖”

About: I've been taking care of a wide variety of animals for a long time. I have experience in all around basic boarding care for dogs, cats, and various reptiles and small animals; dog training basic obedience, fear or frustration aggression/reactivity, high drive dogs, and anxiety behaviors. Pet Care is not only an important part of my life, but it's a passion of mine. Caring for your animal like I do my own is what makes life rewarding for me. When your pet is with me it becomes a part of my family and is treated as such. I look forward to training or caring for your animals! I can train your dog in a multitude of ways. I work a lot of animals with anxiety and behavioral issues. I can easily crate your dog, cat or any other animal if needed. I have access to multiple fenced in yards for your pet to run around in and play. I have a fully trained purebred smooth collie who is extremely gentle and can make friends with anything. I have multiple rooms and spaces in order to accommodate your fur baby's needs. I pay attention to detail and carry out all care with the highest level of standards I can.

About: Common courtesy and communication is paramount. **Willing to travel up to an hour away. Just because Rover says you are outside my service area it does not always mean you are. I have clients an hour North and South of me. **Necessary update as of 6/21/23** I will require current credit card info be on file at your vet or provided for me in your pet write up ONLY in case of emergency. In the event of an emergency and I could not get a hold of the human, puppies have no pockets to hold a card, the vet required me to pay. I have raised 3 separate RESCUE Rottweilers to be exceptional ambassadors of their breed. I currently do not have any pets since my big boy passed away in 2016. I hope to again one day have my own dogs. Until then I will love YOUR pet. **I DO NOT board animals at my home. Only repeat clients would MAYBE be possible for a very short amount of time.** Clients pets have included many breeds, species for days, weeks. Many Golden Retrievers, Doodles, mixes aka Heinz57s, Old English Sheep dog, lots of kitties, a chameleon, turtles, a bearded dragon, a small bird, fish, Rottweilers, a very challenging but lovable English Bulldog and Huskies one of which was very reactive. Oh and a LOT of house plants! PLEASE NOTE: I am deathly allergic to horses which I am very sad about. Any type of animal requiring LARGE amounts of hay would also be a problem i.e, goats, cows, alpacas I am sorry to say. Small rodent animals requiring hay for food or bedding has not been a big deal. My personnel dogs were very public dogs, parks, events etc. With the ever present fact in mind that as good as my animal was it is still an animal. Never purposely putting them in a situation to be loose (unless at home or a fenced park) or get into anything that could harm them. Read quite a few books/manuals by military working dog trainers in hopes of training a service oriented Rottie. Came very close to passing the Good Citizen certification but my dogs never liked the “stay” part when I had to walk away with my back turned. They just had to be next to me. So close. PLEASE NOTE: I have my preferences set to NOT to show any photos of YOUR pet publicly. I would ask permission first to share. Photos only NEVER infomation of course. My schedule allows me to be available to be in YOUR HOME, with your pets all day/night, unless noted ahead of time and of course trips to the store. I have many types of animals that insist on sleeping in bed just like they do when their people are home which in fine by me. Just take some Benadryl and snuggle on in. I try to stick closely to how the home runs normally so the pets do not have any surprises that can make them anxious. Sleep, food, walks, play time etc. I supervise dogs in their own yard fenced or not. I am very organized and like an outlined idea of their schedule to be written down for me to follow as closely as YOU would.

About: Hello folks, I am an experienced animal caretaker with a background in fostering pets. I have cared for dogs, cats, other domestic pets, and farm animals. My clients, friends and family have entrusted me to watch their animals since I was 12. I believe that direct communication with pet owners will allow me to provide a safe and engaging experience for your animals. I work part-time from 10 am - 2 pm throughout the week. My work days change frequently but I am available outside of these hours for your caretaking needs. I will not be providing services in my home at this time. For pet sitting and walking services, I am available to stay in your home or do daily check ins. My goal is to be an accessible source for your animal while you travel or are at work. I will be available 24/7 via email or text after you book my services. Please provide me with any medical, dietary, or enrichment needs for your animal when you book my services. I always adhere to my clients wishes and will do my best to stick with your pet’s daily routine while in my care. If you have a dog who is friendly, I can provide additional enrichment with my three year old pup Zeus.

About: I understand that there is a wide range of expectations when someone is caring for your little one so communication is always important to me. Love helping dogs find their true self whether it be bringing back that spark of energy, or helping get them out and about to make new friends, I love happy and healthy dogs. Proud owner of the most stubborn husky Pitt mix, so at this point I don’t think there’s anything I couldn’t handle lol. Look forward to working with you and your little ones Currently work full time, usually 3 days a week 10am-9pm and then one of the two weekend days. Have a relaxed work/life balance so rearranging schedules with prior communication isn’t an issue. No fence at home so my little one goes out on a leash when she’s going to the bathroom. Also have a runner that spans the length of the yard that allows her freedoms when it’s time to do something other than potty. Prefer a harness + leash combination over your standard leash to collar connection but will use whichever method you ask of me for your pet

“Trista was wonderful! She sent great pictures of all the pets. They all look so happy and well cared for. Great communication and followed all instructions. You can tell she really cares for your pets. We would highly recommend! 😊”

“We have (2) dogs. Abby is 10 and very skittish and Sophie is 15 and requires more attention and care. When I came home, both dogs were happy and content. We totally trust Shane with our dogs and our house. He is quick on answering requests, detailed and prompt with visits. We are so happy and moreover RELIEVED to have been lucky enough to have connected with Shane. I would highly recommend Shane.”

About: I’ve been caring for pets practically my entire life! I love animals and have always loved enoyed providing a safe space for them. I’ve cared for cats, dogs, birds, fish and snakes. I’m currently working part-time, and my schedule varies a bit week to week. I am free mornings and evenings, most Thursdays, as well as Mondays after 2 pm. I usually work shifts under 8 hours, so with good communication I would be thrilled to come up with a plan that will suit you and your pet(s). For now, I am able to care for and board cats and small animals in my home. In the summer, I can board dogs in my fenced in yard. For dogs and larger animals, I can take them for walks and pet sit by traveling to your home. I look forward to meeting you and your pet(s)! I have managed to ensure my pet rabbit feels safe while also living with a rambunctious one-year-old labrador retriever. I am always cautious about my pets and my clients’ pet’s whereabouts. I’ve helped return missing neighborhood cats and dogs to their owners as well as assist with unexpected visits to the vet.
