“Pam is very friendly impersonal. I’ve been using her regularly now for many weeks and she always fulfills her commitments and lets me know ahead of time of any changes in her schedule. She also tends to be somewhat flexible and communicates very well.”
About: Dog sitting since 2010, I love dogs and am not put off by size or jumping. After a few quick sniffs we are likely to be good friends. I work but I make sure I leave time between my multiple jobs to check on the dog. I have references if needed. It can be hard to give a key to a stranger and to trust someone in your home. I can grab mail, water plants, ***and care for smaller animals and additional pets that aren't the traditional cat and dog.*** I work part time, so I do not work more than 7 straight hours. My other jobs are often virtual/online or other dogs so it gives me flexibility. I have a cat and can only watch pets at your residence, because I have roommates. I love to snuggle pets (if they feel comfortable with me) and am conscientious in dietary needs and will read whatever instructions and specifics you give. I dont mind giving medicine. I will admit that I can be hard for me to do dinner times if it's on a strict schedule. I can get up as early as needed for breakfast time, but sometimes life gets in the way naturally. I am also a night owl and rely on that to earn extra income, So I do a lot of events. I'm an actor, game designer, as well as an educator and freelance writer. I like to follow instructions whether given in the form of an email or on a piece of paper. Vet numbers and any information that helps me best Make your pet healthy and happy is helpful. A lot of people worry when they give me a packet and I'm an avid reader so don't worry if you have more than three pages. I'm pretty sure the longest one has been five pages for one dog and even that isn't that long. :)
About: I’ve been around pets my entire life, mostly dogs. I’ve owned my own dogs since I was 12, and I currently own a German shepherd and a Coton De Tulear. I consider myself a true animal enthusiast and I believe that caring for them is more than a chore, but something you need to be passionate about to give them the best care they deserve. I’m returning to college to pursue a career in veterinary medicine and I’d love to not only give your pets the care they deserve, but to add to my experience for the furbabies in the future! Caring for pets in my clients home will all depend on what I have access to. I am more than comfortable with taking dogs outside/on walks, crating them, and feeding/treating them.
“Kimberly was amazing! She sent me so many pictures of Kacie on her walk and gave me great summary’s of their walk! It is always so reassuring when someone is responsive to you and when your dog seems happy and comfortable and Kim did just that for me!”
“Amber was amazing! She was quick to respond, incredibly kind, and clearly a true dog lover. I had complete peace of mind during my trip knowing my dog was in great hands. Thank you, Amber — I’ll definitely be reaching out again!”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life. I never had a pet of my own until I met my former partner and he had a deaf Australian Shepard and I fell in love with her. A year after that we rescued a mix and named him Archer and he is the most loyal, loving dog I’ve ever met. I’ve also helped take care of my sisters mini poodle on and off for about 3 years so have experience with big and small dogs as well as deaf dogs. I work full time currently Monday through Friday but pet care would be something I can do in the evenings and weekends, while also spending time with my own dog. I have plenty of paths and places to walk dogs near my home and my complex has a dog park to play and use the bathroom
“Lee was AMAZING! Best experience ever for my pups, I’m honestly so glad I found her last minute. Communicating with Lee was fast, to the point and no hassles! I would recommend her 1000%!”
About: I've spent many years working at a Pet Grooming shop in CNY spending lots of time with dogs and cats. I understand temperament and behavior very well. I know the ins and outs of pet care as I have two dogs of my own. Maxx and Winnie are both golden retrievers who love everyone and everything. If you're worried about leaving your best friend with a stranger, no need to fear with me! I'm excited to spend time with your fur baby whether it's going for walks or letting them outside. I love all kinds of animals and am ready to take care of yours! I'm currently off for the summer as I work for a school district, so I typically am available most days ! I'll try my best to update days I'm unavailable. I currently have two golden retrievers. One is a puppy, and the other is 10 years old. I do not currently have a fenced in yard.
“Alex has always been super reliable and takes great care of my dog. Great communication and he’s always thinking about Lucy’s best interest. Couldn’t recommend Alex enough!”
“Jessica was always on time and was able to be flexible when I needed. She followed all instructions exceptionally well and the dogs loved her, I look forward to having her take care of them again”
“She’s always punctual, got a great attitude, and is so good to all the animals. She’s very easy to work with, I couldn’t ask for somebody better. I definitely recommend her.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs all my life. Today I have a happy 11 year old Pomeranian mix. I grew up with black labs. I love to play fetch and hike with dogs whenever I can. I have a nice, safe yard for play time. I also live near a great dog park. I have taken care of dogs of all ages and make sure I understand their energy level and needs. I currently work from home and have flexible hours all week. I will have work meetings for a few hours a day. Looking forward to helping with your pup! I live in a home in a safe neighborhood, in Wappingers. Walking distance to parks. I am a responsible and will make sure your dog feels safe on our walks.
About: Safety and well-being are my top priorities. I offer professional dog-sitting services with a focus on positive reinforcement techniques for managing aggression, comprehensive puppy training, and gentle, attentive senior care. I am skilled in reading canine body language and implementing proactive strategies to prevent incidents. Let's discuss how I can provide exceptional care for your unique dog in the Baldwinsville/Liverpool area! Summer Hours: I am a teacher who works summer school from July 7th-August 20th from 8am-12pm (Monday-Thursday's)! I have open availability Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, and Labor Day weekend. The only weekend (s) I am away is 7/18-7/20 AND 8/8-8/10. Typical School Year: I will be able to provide drop ins/walks on weekends during the school, school vacations, and long weekends. If you need a drop in/walk on Friday night please message me! *Since I am an educator- I already have completed extensive background checks!* Drop In's/Walks: I will adhere to their feeding, exercise, potty break, and medication schedules. I ensure they receive the same level of care and attention they are accustomed to. For aggressive dogs, I follow your established protocols for walks and handling. I am extremely careful about securing entry and exit points and will avoid any situations where your dog might encounter triggers, such as other dogs or unfamiliar people, unless specifically instructed and it's part of their management plan. I prioritize solitary walks and maintain a safe distance from others. When caring for puppies in your home, I reinforce your training efforts with positive reinforcement, ensure frequent potty breaks to prevent accidents, and engage them in appropriate play to burn energy. For senior pets in their own home, I ensure their comfort, administer medications as needed, assist with mobility if required, and monitor for any signs of discomfort or changes in health. In all settings, clear and consistent communication with you is key. I want to understand your pet's nuances, triggers, and preferences to provide the safest and most enriching care possible. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your unique pet is in capable and caring hands
About: I started longer-term overnight dog sitting about three years ago. I do frequent daytime potty breaks for friends when they are out of town. I have watched cats as well. I worked as a veterinary assistant for two years and I enjoy both cat and dog snuggles. Not currently working much, schedule is flexible which is ideal for your puppies that may need potty breaks while you are at work during the day or away on weekends. Unfortunately, I will only go to the clients home. I will not bring other animals into my house. I do own a cat and this is something my husband and I have agreed on.
