Pet Sitting in Lake Placid

“We were relieved when last minute we were able to get fast reliable friendly help with our baby Gus! She sent us pics and kept us updated. Thanks so much!”

“Trish is a very rare pet sitter, someone who has a passion for animals. She actually cares about the pets she is responsible for. She dedicates time to find all of our cats, who hide very well I might add. She brings toys for them, she brushes them, she loves on them. Our cats almost hate for us to return from vacation as they miss Trish! Her communication with us is amazing. She is very responsible! We would never trust anyone else but Trish with our pets!”

About: As a veterinary assistant student with over 100 hours of shelter experience, I bring trusted, hands-on care. I own a high-energy GSP and understand canine behavior, safety, and health. Your pet will be treated with the same attentiveness, patience, and love I give my own. I’m trained to notice subtle changes in animals, ensuring peace of mind while you’re away. Although I work part-time at a restaurant and attend online college full-time for veterinary assisting, I prioritize pet care every single day — including weekends. My schedule is flexible, and I make it a point to carve out consistent time for walks, feedings, check-ins, and quality care. Animals are a huge part of my life, so you can trust that I’ll always show up on time, stay communicative, and treat your pets with the same care I give my own. Your pet’s routine and comfort are my top priority, and I’m committed to making their care seamless and stress-free. When it comes to caring for pets, whether in my home or a client’s—I believe in creating a calm, safe, and loving environment where animals feel secure and understood. I’ve dedicated countless hours to researching proper training, canine behavior, and enrichment, and I’ve used that knowledge to raise my own GSP with patience and consistency. I only give my dog the best, and I bring that same level of care to every animal I work with. From structured walks to soothing downtime, I pay attention to what each pet needs and follow routines closely. At the shelter, I made it a priority to ensure every animal felt respected, safe, and seen. I’ll do the same for yours. Building trust takes time, but I show up every time, with love, intention, and a deep respect for your pet’s well-being.

About: I was raised with pets. They are a part of the family. I did in home pet sitting for about 3 years. I can easily do so for you. I have spent the past summer traveling Europe dog and house sitting. In May I had the house sitter taking care of my babies do a boarding. He received a bad review. Please don't let a bad review scare you away. I am retired, so I will be home with the fur babies. My pets sleep in the bed with me, your's will be more than welcome. I live on a quiet street. Plus I do have a fenced backyard. If you prefer I stay at your home, I can do that also.

“Amber was amazing! She let me know each time she was with my dogs and when she finished! She let me know how they were doing and send pictures! Would love to book with her again!”

“Stayed in touch. Sent pictures followed instructions and my girls love her.”

About: I have taken care of dogs and lots of other animals for as long as I can remember. I have grown up with large dogs my whole life. I have experience with Labs, German Shepherds and Golden Retrievers. In addition, I have taken care of friends and family dogs of all shapes and sizes from puppies to elderly dogs. I participated in a 4-H club and learned dog training techniques and worked on those skills training my chocolate lab and my grandparents’ golden retriever. In high school, I completed 2 years of Veterinary Science classes. This entailed learning about medication administration, feeding, first aid, training, and grooming. I am currently working part-time at a dog boarding facility which allows me to have plenty of time to play and care for your animals! I’m available after 2:00 monday-friday, available saturday after 1:00 and available sunday all day. I'm passionate about animals, especially dogs, and find immense joy in caring for them. I'm drawn to dog sitting because it allows me to combine my love for dogs with my strong sense of responsibility. I believe I'm trustworthy because I am detail-oriented, I follow instructions meticulously, and I understand the importance of open and honest communication. Pet owners are entrusting me with the well-being of their beloved companions and the security of their homes, and I take that responsibility very seriously. I am also reliable; I will always be on time, fulfill my commitments, and prioritize the dog's needs.

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and fell in love with the world of cats about eight years ago. As an active person, I have plenty of energy to run, play and keep up with even the most energetic pups! I have a wealth of experience, caring for pets of all ages and personalities. Since I work from home, your pet will get all the love attention and belly rubs they want. Plus with our massive backyard and endless toys, there’s no shortage of fun. I currently work from home and am a homebody that really loves to either relax or run around outside in the yard. I have a huge bath tub if they need some bath time, a large back yard that is safe to play & roam, and even a pool IF they like to and know how to swim. Our whole yard is fenced in and secure. Both dog & cat are very pet friendly and love to play but also know when to give you space!

“Thank you Rachel for your attention and care of our cats! You were great with our cats!”

About: I have been walking and boarding dogs for 5 years, gaining experience with a variety of breeds, including large dogs in my household. Currently, I am in the process of becoming a certified dog trainer, and I will be working part-time in this role in the meantime. I have some days off during the week and occasionally on weekends to care for dogs. I am available anytime from 9 AM to 5 PM. If you need earlier availability, please feel free to reach out and request it. I want to assure you that I will be very respectful and responsible while caring for your pup at your home and in mine. I will not touch or look at anything other than items related to the dogs. All I ask is that the dog items are well-maintained and that their food and water bowls are clean. I will walk and feed your dog according to your specific instructions, giving them plenty of love while you’re away. Additionally, I always make sure they are clean and have enough water, especially since we’re in Florida! 😄

About: I've have two dogs of my own, one is a blue heeler/ rottweiler named Tak and the other is a Vizla whos name is Haruko. Which means sunlight child in Japanese. He has the more golden glowing eyes! I also have been around dogs most of my life, my partners mom got us into volunteering at The Bully Project and we go and walk the dogs just because.My partners mom use to work there too. I also grew up with close to around 20-30 cats at once when I was a little girl, I was always so use to being surrounded by them in my yard and hanging out with them as much as I possibly could. Ive always been real sensitive to animals and their feelings, it's literally a sixth sense. I was currently managing and running my own professional wedding photography business but have slowed down drastically to focus on the little things. Im interested in dog/cat sitting and getting into learning how to grow a garden. Im wanting to take a huge break from social media and work more in the physical world. I also have two dogs of my own so its always been in my routine to care my my pets and take care of them. I have a huge open availability this whole year. I don't recommend having them stay at my own home just because of how high energy my Vizsla is. I do however recommend I come to your home to watch them. I promise to make sure your pets are comfortable with me there, make sure they go outside as frequently as needed to go to the bathroom, take medication, have cuddles, and watch for all the little things. Even keep the active on commands/tricks if they use any, that way they are consistently engaged. Im always outside the entire time with my dogs even though we have a fenced in yard because I want to make sure they don't dig under the fence and escape and that they are truly looked after in the best possible way.

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was 12 years old. From training and raising my own dog to be a service dog to watching and walking friends and families dogs, horses, fishes, and rats. I’ve done it all! I can be there morning, afternoon, or evening to check on, walk, feed, and love on your pet! I also offer grooming services! Please reach out to me if you are looking to get your dog groomed. 😊 I have a fenced in yard, a dog, and a cat to keep your fur baby company while you’re away. I am also able to crate your pet if necessary!

About: Hi! I'm Rachel, I’ve spent years caring for my own pets and helping friends and family with theirs, and now I’m excited to offer that same love and attention to your furry family members! I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust, and I treat every animal like my own—with patience, kindness, and tons of belly rubs (if they’re into that). I do my best to make it an stress-free and comfortable experience for both you and your fur babies. I’m reliable, friendly, and genuinely care about the pets I look after. I have a 9-year-old chocolate lab named Roux—she’s very friendly and generally gets along with any pet. I do always take it slow when introducing her to new animals though to ensure things always go smoothly. I have open availability and have a reliable vehicle to be able to get to and from where I’m needed. Whether you need daily walks, drop-ins, or someone to hang out while you’re away I make sure your pet has the BEST time doing it! I’ve got plenty of toys to keep them entertained, and with living on 10 acres of land, there’s lots of space for them to run, play, and burn off some energy in a safe environment (but also can leash them based on each specific scenario). I’m also happy to stick to your pet’s routine, give updates and photos, and make sure they’re safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. When you book with me, I’ll always be upfront about my availability. I’m usually pretty open (as I work from home) unless I’m fully booked, and if I can’t make something work, I’ll let you know right away. I try to stay flexible and am happy to work with you to find a good time. I think it’s really important to connect before a booking—whether that’s meeting in person or hopping on a quick FaceTime. It helps me get to know your pet, understand their needs, and make sure they’re comfortable with me. That way, everything goes smoothly and you can feel confident while you're away. I highly recommend this with any sitter you choose! Okay, let’s chat—I’d love to meet your pet and learn how I can help! :) Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy being around animals and caring for them. I’m someone who thrives on structure and responsibility, so scheduling walks, feedings, or check-ins is something I look forward to and easily plan my day around. Whether it’s early morning, midday, or evening, I make time for pet care like I would for any other important commitment—and it never feels like a chore. I love the mix of routine and connection that comes with spending time with pets. I focus on creating a calm, safe, and loving environment—whether the pet is staying in my home or I’m caring for them in theirs. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely, keeping their routine consistent with feeding, walks, playtime, and any medications or special needs. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space, keep things clean and secure, and make sure pets feel at ease by sticking to their familiar environment. If pets are staying with me, I provide a cozy space, lots of attention, and regular updates so owners feel confident and connected. My goal is always to make the pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for—like they’re with family.

About: I've helped care for not only pets, but also my younger siblings since a young age. I have a kitten named Shiva and my family recently cared for a mother and son pair of husky/German Shepherd mixed. Sadly, due to our situation at home, we couldn't keep the dogs with us. But, due to my love for animals, my friend recommended I apply to be a pet sitter on Rover. I have some experience with injured animals and caring for them. I also have experience working with other people's animals. My schedule tends to be pretty flexible. My schedule tends to be pretty flexible. At least one or two Thursday nights of each month i like to go home and spend time with my family. Due to my home situation, I won't be able to have animals in my home. Therefore, I won't be offering boarding or day care services in my home.

About: I treat every dog like they’re my own—with love, patience, and attention to their unique needs. What sets me apart is my experience with both puppies and senior dogs. I understand the energy and structure puppies need, from potty training to leash manners, and I have the gentle touch and care that older dogs require, including administering medications and moving at their pace. I’m also highly communicative—pet parents get regular photo and video updates so they always know their dog is happy, safe, and loved. Whether your pup is playful, shy, energetic, or needs extra TLC, I adjust my care to fit their personality. My goal is to make every dog feel comfortable, calm, and cared for while you’re away. Pet care is a natural and joyful part of my daily routine. I structure my day around walks, feeding, playtime, and cuddle sessions—making sure each pet gets the attention and activity they need. Whether it’s early morning potty breaks or evening wind-down snuggles, I stay consistent and flexible to match each pet’s usual schedule. I prioritize keeping dogs active, engaged, and feeling safe, whether it’s a quick drop in visit or an extended stay. Their happiness and well-being always come first in my daily planning. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I focus on providing a safe, clean, and loving environment that feels as close to their normal routine as possible. I take the time to understand each pet’s needs—feeding schedule, walking routine, favorite toys, and even their quirks—so they feel secure and comfortable. In my home, pets have plenty of space to play and relax, with constant supervision, cozy resting spots, and regular walks. I follow any instructions closely, from crate time to special diets. In a client’s home, I’m respectful, tidy, and treat it like my own. I maintain consistency for your pet—walks, potty breaks, playtime, and cuddles happen just like they’re used to. I send updates with photos and notes so you always feel connected and reassured.

“We are very pleased with Janet’s attention to our dogs needs and her sensitivity to our wanting to know how her visits are going. Will be using Janet regularly.”

About: I’ve had 6 dogs, 2 cats, and grew up on farm my entire life. I’ve cared for cows and pigs as well. My dogs have been as big as an American pit bull to as small as a Yorkie. I am working online but can’t help care for dogs/cats at anytime. I am able to drive up to 20 minutes and do what needs to be done whether it is pet sitting or walking. I love to be outside so this Florida heat is not too much for me. We love our dogs and cat and keep them very comfortable with their needs coming first. We are animal people that will listen to our clients and care for their animals to their specific needs and wants.

“We were able to truly relax and not worry about our cat while away on vacation. Thank you Jackie for understanding our anxiety about leaving her, and thank you for taking such good care of her!! Jackie is a "cat whisperer" who relates to animals very well. We can tell by all the pictures of our cat that she was super comfortable and content under Jackie's care.”

About: I have had pets literally my entire life. Dogs, cats, horses, and other small animals. I am patient, kind, loving, and know how to bond quickly with them. I truly enjoy the company of dogs especially and they always sense that and enjoy being with me as well. I have significant flexibility in my schedule. I can easily make the loving care of your pet my priority. I focus on Thursdays through Sunday/Monday for those quick weekend trips. I live in a small, senior park with lots of grass, a new, fenced dog park, and paved roads just in case your well-loved dog(s) may have grass or sand sensitivity. I have lots of time to devote to your dog. I can walk them, take them on golf cart rides, or give them time to play in the dog park.
