Top rated Jay house sitters

“Georgia was superb. She not only took excellent care of our dog and cat, but also of our home. Both of our pets seemed very relaxed upon of our return, and showed no signs of stress at all. This means something, as our dog is getting older and is generally a pretty anxious dog. Georgia seems to have a special touch with animals, and we would love to use her as a sitter again in the future.”


“Tracey is amazing! She watched our puppy for the first time we were away from him. It was a relief to know he was in great hands. She has a calming, positive presence that he responded well to, as he is still fearful of strangers, but made fast friends with Tracey. Her passion for caring for animals is evident. We are grateful to have her care for our home and animals.”


“Fantastic sitter. My dog and cat loved her! My dog got some special walks and was so happy to have a new friend. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for help with their animals!”



“We asked Meghan to house sit our 3 dogs and she was great!! We did a meet and greet before and she came to the house with treats in her hand! The dogs absolutely loved her. She sent lots of pictures and made sure that we knew the dogs were well taken care of and not to worry about them!!”


“Payton was amazing. She was communicative, responsible, and took good care of my dogs as well as the house. We had a medical emergency with one of the dogs that she handled like a rock star - we were very thankful that she was there and had no doubts that our dogs were well looked after.”


“Julia was awesome with Isaac and kept me updated throughout the day with pictures and messages. I felt very comfortable with her immediately and will absolutely reach out to her again with future bookings! I also want to note how accommodating she was - arriving at 5:30am so I could get to an important meeting. I so appreciate her punctuality and ability to take in Isaac’s care plan so quickly. Isaac is a shy rescue and it takes a special person for him to warm up so quickly. Thank you, Julia!”


“Karen is extremely kind and pleasant. It was hard to tell she was even here! She took great care of our dog, even giving him a bath! He was very happy with her. We would use Karen again!”


“Shelby is AMAZING! I cannot praise her enough. She is extremely detail oriented and asked me all the right questions before sitting my pups, even questions I didn’t think of. When I returned home, I could tell my dogs were very well taken care of. If you’re looking for a sitter, stop right here because you found her.”


“Emily takes excellent care of our pets, communication is always timely and she sends updates and photos! She went above and beyond when we had an unexpected water issue in our home, helping us out by cleaning, calming our pets and being available to let necessary workers come into the house until we were able to get home.”


“Chantal was wonderful with our pups! She asked if her daughter could come hang with the dogs too and they loved her! I know the dogs will be happy to see Chantal and her daughter again next time we leave for an overnight trip.”


About: I've taken care of neighbors cats and dogs since middle school in my hometown. I've grown up with pets my whole life and greatly understand their needs and the responsibilities associated with pet care. I’m a clear and responsive communicator and will always listen to how you want your pet cared for. I also enjoy going for runs and hikes, so if your dog has a lot of energy, we will get along well! I’m excited to meet your pet(s)! I am able to do overnights with pets and can visit them during mornings, midday, and nights. I can take last minute bookings. I work a flexible schedule during the week. I make sure to assess the comfortability of the animal before settling into the house. I try to keep it a quiet atmosphere until the animal feels comfortable being around me. I make sure that they are my priority and I give them full attention given that they're most likely stressed. I will respect the owners house and belongings.

“Michelle was so kind and personable. I loved that she came to the meet and greet for our housesitting with a pen and notepad! She was a pro at giving our husky his meds, the house was left clean, and she was easy to communicate with while we were gone. Thanks, Michelle!”

“Eliza took excellent care of my “elderly” dog who needed eye medication twice a day. She sent a lot of pictures which helped my anxiety about being away. I would definitely use Eliza again if I travel in the future.”


“Carolyn took great care of all of our pets. I really appreciated the text and photo updates, and the critters were all content when we came home. Will definitely book her again the next time we take a trip!”


About: I have a full range of animal history and care. I have chosen dogs to accommodate and love unconditionally when you must be away from your best friend! I offer a variety of animal care and services, including one on one to fun play sessions for pets with like personalities. I am confident we can find what is necessary and essential for each unique situation. We don’t have problems we specialize in solutions together! I am currently retired and found a way to incorporate exercise and love for animals in a great combination for both myself and our furry faces. I travel regularly to render my time and care for others pets in many locations. I have many opportunities and accommodations to suit each unique dog situation. I am willing to follow pet owners regiment to almost an exact replica if possible. Let’s talk a see how I can help make the transition stress free when you must be apart. I travel to accommodate situations necessary.

“Jess watched our dog and cat for the first time over the weekend. She let us know when she arrived and sent a photo. She was responsive to our texts so we felt comfortable being away.”


About: I've owned a dog ever since I was 12 years old. Dogs have gotten me through the best and worst parts of my life. I have a background in physical therapy and massage and for years I enjoyed bringing my dog to work every day, she became the nursing home mascot, seeing the joy she brought to both my patients and coworkers made every day at work a great day :). I work in Saranac Lake and Lake Placid as an independent contractor. My work schedule/hours can be very flexible/adjusted accordingly as long as I have advanced notice to plan accordingly. I live on 4.5 acres with a long driveway set back from the road. My property backs up to a wooded trail network. I also have a very large, gated Freedom Fenced in dog play area on my property. Dogs are free to all areas of home without restriction. Unfortunately, my husband and I are allergic to cats so I am unable to board them. I do have a 3 year old daughter, so if boarding, pet must be good around children. I also do not board or provide in home services for dogs that are exposed to smoking or vaping of any kind. Please note; when providing pet care services, I will never leave a dog unsupervised, or under the care of anyone other than myself.


“Rachel was incredibly sweet with my dog when he was sick. She stayed with him for a day and kept me updated on how he was doing. She was respectful in my home and left everything as she found it. I would be very happy to have her watch Wotan again!”


About: I’m a fur mama of one 85lb , 3 year old mush who is hyper, energetic , and very needy. I love taking him on walks, to the beach, and anywhere he can go to get his energy out. My fiancé and I are planning our dream wedding and I would love to offer pet care in your house ( or mine if your dog or dog friendly) . I would love to give someone the opportunity to go on vacation without the Warriors of their pet being lonely or not getting the attention they deserve. I’m well experienced in dogs of all breeds and sizes and emotional/ physical needs. I am a teacher Monday- Friday but have weekends and summers off. I can be there before and after school, as well. Weekends I am free. I want to offer your pet lots of love, care and engagement while you are traveling. I try to keep them on their normally scheduled routine and work with the pet parent to make sure they are comfortable or have any special requests.
