Pet Sitting in Jay

“Jocelyn was great! Provided wonderful updates and was very pleasant to chat with. I knew from the start that our cat was in good hands and Jocelyn kept proving that to be true each day. If you want someone who will go the extra mile to make sure your pets are loved while you’re away, Jocelyn is your person!”

“Ben was such a big help spending time with Daisy for two weeks. He is responsive, kind, and will form a bond with your pup in no time. We look forwarding to hiring Ben again!”

“It was awesome getting to work with Kristy as she lovingly took care of our puppy Wrigley! She sent lots of photos and updates throughout, giving him everything he needed including walks outside, potty breaks, play time and attention. Absolute lifesaver!”

About: I am a retired licensed veterinary technician looking to care for your pet in your home. I have well over a dozen years of experience. I will provide your pet with very good care and lots of fun times. My schedule is very full, so book early to ensure availability. I have a big Jeep for transportation to any appointments that your pet may need. I can no longer provide in my home care until further notice.

“Was able to cover us when our sitter cancelled last minute. Did a great job! The kitties were super happy when we got home. 10/10 would recommend”

About: My name is Casey, I'm a student majoring in creative writing, and I'm looking to expand my house sitting portfolio. I have been a dog walker and house sitter for three clients/families in 2025 so far and love popping by for walks every two hours with your pup. Size, barking, and puppy-ness are non-issues! I have extreme patience and good shoulders. My grandma always told me to leave the house you're visiting neater than when you got there, so I have an eye for cleanliness and I don't want you to feel like someone has been living in your home when you come back. I.E. I will ask you if I can vacuum. I'm starting school in the fall at Vermont State University in Johnson, so I am free to book any time this summer, unless I have another doggie booked that day. I'm a list maker so I like to write down your instructions when we have a formal introduction. Food, walks, potty time, play time, training, and housekeeping will all be done to your standard.

“Julia was amazing with Leon on her drop in visit with him. She paid so much attention to him and was so patient with him. He is a senior so that is exactly what he needs. We will be having her back to look after him soon!”

About: Have had pets since I was a child, over 20 years. I am a current pet and livestock owner. I have dogs, goats, bunnies and chickens. I am available most week days and every other weekend. I can be flexible, but it would have to work around my full time job. I am willing to drop in and walk your dog for as long as you'd like. Will play catch, ball and run them when possible.

“Fantastic as always.”

About: I’ve had all sorts of animals such as dogs, cats, chickens, pigs, and leopard geckos. I’ve grown my whole life with animals. I have lots of skill with all kinds of animals I am currently a full time student but have a lot of free time during the day due to being online for the school year. I promise to provide the best care for your pets, treating them as if they were my own. I also respect your home and will ensure it’s left in excellent condition. While I don’t offer pet care in my home, I’m fully committed to creating a safe and comfortable experience for your pets in their own environment.

About: My name is Melissa and I have taken care of animals since my first dog in second grade. I previously had a Labrador and Shih-Tzu who both lived until old age. I also fostered older dogs who could not find homes due to their age. I currently have a one year old yellow lab mix. He’s dog and cat friendly. In order to board your dog, your dog must be dog friendly. I also require a meet and greet to ensure it’s a good fit. Buddy is not neutered so unspayed females are not a good fit. I offer boarding in my home. I live in a second story apartment in an old building with a large yard. There is a picture of my apartment located within my pictures. I only board one animal at a time as it's a one bedroom apartment. It allows me to spend quality time with your pet! For boarding I do provide dishes and toys, but many animals prefer to have some of their own. I have open availability on weekends, however I work from home on weekdays and there may be times I need to be out of my home for up to three hours. I have a camera in my home and will be able to remotely check on your pet if I need to be away for work. I will always inform you prior to the booking if I have appointments out of the home. I am experienced feeding animals in a variety of ways and will follow your instructions on feeding and walking. I ensure animals are well cared for, played with, and that they receive the attention and care needed.

“Karen was fantastic! My pup was quite the handful (first time) & she was so patient & knowledgeable & really went the extra mile above & beyond. Highly recommend!”

About: I've helped take care of dogs ever since I was five years old. I was relied on in my family to feed, walk, and give emotion care to our various dogs over the years. I've helped to take care of small dogs and very large dogs. I currently work as a middle school teacher, so I would be available to take care of your dog in the evenings and on the weekends. I have a large shared backyard that could be used to throw a ball of frisbee with dogs. My house is close to the Burlington Bike Path which would allow for easy access to walk. My apartment is also spacious enough for your pet to be able to roam or big enough to accommodate a crate if needed.

“Shelby worked with us on short notice and went above and behind taking great care of our little guy. We would definitely use her again!”

About: I grew up on a small hobby farm with goats, chickens, horses, dogs and cats. When I was younger I helped train 2 Border Collie/Australian Sheppard mix puppies. I have a good sense of what animals need and am very patient and loving with all animals. I have a infant daughter who will be accompanying me with most my drop in visits. She will be in a backpack while I take care of your furry friend. I am available most mornings, nights and weekends. I love being outside and love being around animals. I am active, friendly, and responsible. I can't wait to take care of your pet and give it love and attention. Looking forward to meeting you and your pet! I am flexible! I have little ones (2 young daughters) but they will be able to come with me on occasion and they are also pet lover themselves. I have a fenced in yard if needed and love going on long walks and hikes. We would get lots of play time in and happy to bring my dog along for companion if wanted.

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.

“Erica was so incredible!! She took such good care of my dogs and took them on big hikes both of the days I was gone. I felt so comfortable leaving them in her care and was so grateful to come home to see that they were happy and a little tired from their adventures!! She kept consistent contact with me, sending so many pictures and it really provided a sense of relief and comfort knowing they were in such good hands!”

About: I’ve been caring for my own pets since I was a child, including dogs, cats, goats, and rabbits. I’ve also cared for other people’s horses, pigs, and chickens. I love all animals but I am always partial to the misfits. If you have any animals with special needs or behavioral issues I’d love a chance to get to befriend them! I currently have 2 dogs of my own and I know how precious any four legged babies are. I currently have my own residential house cleaning business so I have the ability to set my own schedule. I can be available for morning, afternoon or evening visits most days. I always follow the pet parent’s instructions, and enjoy sending updates so you know your baby is doing well! Pics included :) They’re safety & comfort and respecting your home is my priority.

“Took good care of my cats. Did everything I asked for, and even cleaned up some vomit on the floor, plus cleaned the wet food plates. Will do business again. Thank you”

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.
