Fantastic help, she watched our boys while we were out of town and made sure to keep us in the loop! She gave medicine (to cats!), swept, and scooped litter. What I appreciated most was she took some initiative while we were gone and ensured our faucet was dripping during cold snaps. Could not recommend more highly, your pets will be well looked after.

About: I’ve grown up with animals, specifically Maltese dogs. I enjoy meeting new ones to help a pet owner or a friend out. I really like taking my friends pets for hikes. I have worked in pet stores and have taken a course on exotic animals. I have experience caring for hamsters and hedgehogs. While I don’t pick favorite dogs, my favorite breed of dog is the Sheltie! If your pup is a Shetland sheepdog, I’ll offer discounted rates:) I am currently a college student and my schedule is currently flexible with availability. I can work with you to help you find the right fit. I have two small dogs myself and cannot provide in house for an extended period of time with a larger animal. Have a partially fenced house

About: I currently have an Australian shepherd husky mix who has grown up with cats and is quite friendly. He would love to keep your pet entertained during their stay! We have a fenced in yard that is nice for when your dog would love a bit of fresh air and an ability to run around rather than remaining indoors at all times. We also have three grown cats and would be happy to host your feline friends as well. Please let us know if there are any accommodations for your pets so that we and you can determine if it would be a good fit for you! I currently work full-time on nights; however, my girlfriend is available most days. I walk my own dog in the early afternoon prior to leaving for work; however, I am open to walking other dogs into my routine. I'm available mostly on the weekends but I can accommodate overnight stays for your pets as well. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions! I have a fenced in yard that I allow my dog to run around in. It is filled with toys that he enjoys. He does not signal to me when he wants in, so I usually check on him every 5 to 10 minutes. I have a play routine with him outside as well. Wolfie is very friendly and loves meeting new playmates! He is more than happy to entertain them! We leave dry dog food and cat food out at all times. We also have a 2 gallon water fountain that we clean and replace the filter in on a weekly basis. Water is available at all times to ensure hydration.

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and am comfortable caring for dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to seniors who need a slower pace and extra attention. I take a calm, reliable approach and focus on each dog’s individual routine, safety, and comfort. What sets me apart is my peaceful, low-stress home in a quiet country setting in the town of Bleecker inside of the Adirondack Park, where dogs receive one-on-one attention, consistent care, and plenty of space to relax. Your dog will be treated like family and cared for as if they were my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m always home and structure my days around consistent feeding times, walks, play, and downtime, so dogs always have attention and companionship. Living in a quiet country setting allows for a calm, low-stress environment with plenty of space to relax and enjoy fresh air. I keep a predictable routine while adjusting to each dog’s individual needs, energy level, and comfort. Whether it’s daily walks, enrichment, or quiet companionship, caring for dogs is something I truly enjoy and prioritize. I live in a quiet country home with plenty of outdoor space. While I don’t have a fenced yard, dogs are always supervised and taken outside on a leash so they can safely explore and enjoy the fresh air. Safety is always my top priority. Please let me know if your pup is off-leashed trained, so I may work with them after they are comfortable on the property. Dogs in my care will also have the companionship of my friendly corgi, Ginger, who is well-socialized and enjoys being around other dogs. The newest addition to my household is Nori, a corgi puppy. She currently has a lot of energy and is in training, doing very well. I follow each dog’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special care needs, and I provide regular updates so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for. Your dogs and my dogs are allowed on the couch and the bed. We love to snuggle up!

About: I have experience with every kind of dog, from very large to very small. I've brought my own dogs to training and presently enjoy learning about dogs and their behavior. One of my favorite things to do is hike with my dogs. I'm a teacher, so, I am free all summer- morning (I'm an early bird) through evening and every day of the week and some weekends. I like to stay active, so adding walks to my day makes me happy. I take my three large breed dogs on walks or hikes every day. I'm comfortable walking more than one dog at a time and taking them for car rides to reach a destination.

This was our first time hiring a pet sitter at our camp, and Paul made the whole experience easy. He was reliable, sent regular updates, and our mini australian shepherd, Ziggy, clearly felt comfortable with him. We scheduled a meet-and-great in advance of the first visit to give Paul the lowdown on the routine, and he followed through perfectly on the second visit. We will definitely have Paul help us out in in 2026.

About: Hi, I’m Kessiah! Your pet’s new best friend!! With over 10 years of experience caring for animals, I bring genuine love and patience to every pet I meet. I grew up with cats and have shared life with my dog since she was just 9 weeks old—so I understand what it takes to care for pets at every stage of life. In addition to personal experience, I’ve worked at a doggie daycare, which gave me hands-on experience managing dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. Whether it’s a playful pup, a shy senior, or a sassy cat, I know how to make them feel safe and loved. I offer dependable, attentive care—whether that means daily walks, overnight stays, or just some company while you’re away. Your pet’s well-being is always my top priority, and I’ll keep you updated with plenty of pics and check-ins so you never feel far from your furry friend. Let’s set up a meet-and-greet—I’d love to get to know you and your pet! I am available for boarding 7 days a week, overnight stays and drop-ins available 7 days a week as well (depending on location) and weekends with no restrictions. In my home: At this time, I am only accepting cats for boarding. I do have a dog who gets along well with cats. Because they will be unfamiliar with each other, I will never leave them together unaccompanied. If your kitty is afraid of dogs or has a general distain for dogs, I can and will keep them separated! In your home: Your home, your rules! While you're away, I will do my best to stick to your pets everyday routine.

Wonderful experience. I have 2 large dogs who I am always very nervous to leave. They both mean the world to me. Not everyone is good with large dogs. Amanda was not only Great with both dogs. I was always notified when she was at the house. She always sent me pictures and status on how they where doing. As I work from home, they are not alone often. So knowing how they where doing was very important to me. I finally found someone I feel comfortable leaving them with one the rare occasion, I do travel or a dropbye visit when the unexpected happens. I will definately use Amanda again.

About: I’ve had pets since I was a kid and have always had a very large role in taking care of them. I love animals of every kind, and always have so much fun taking care of them. I’ve watched my family and friend’s animals many times, and always make sure to send lots of updates on how they are doing, as well as providing the best care! I have worked at a vet hospital as a receptionist, and in that role have had a lot of hands on experience with animals. It taught me how to work with every animal, and was one of my favorite jobs. I’m currently working as a substitute teacher, and am usually able to make my own schedule, which gives me the flexibility for all of your pets needs! I always make sure to read all care instructions through so that I can understand them so that your pet is getting the best care possible. I also am someone who will always take a gentle approach with your pet, creating trust between us. That trusting relationship is very important for all situations. I will always respect your space, making sure to leave it exactly how I found it!
