Pet Sitting in Lake Placid

About: Have owned pets my whole life, cats, fish, guinea pigs, rabbits, hamsters and birds. I understand and respect that your pet is your family and you want them loved and cared for you when can't be there. I work full time with regular office hours 8-5. I can be flexible but these hours are my priority so may not be able to make everything work, but will do my best. I will follow whatever guidelines you set for your pet and will make sure they feel just as safe and comfortable in my care as they do your own.

“I have known Lena for decades. She runs the local Humane Society Shelter and is incredibly compassionate, knowledgeable and fastidious with her furry charges. Over the last couple of years Lena has house sat my 4 fur babies for days and sometimes weeks. She is wonderful. I trust her implicitly with my "kids" wellbeing and love. She would send me pictures and video of them eating, playing and getting cuddles. She kept my home clean and tidy and when I would return the floofies always looked contented and well-fed. They never had that wild, squirrelly look of trauma I'd see in their eyes sometimes after others would watch them. This was def comforting for me and a Green flag that they were well-loved and were at a low-stress level will I was absent. Her knowledge of animal healthcare is also a bonus; if something were to go awry, I know she would handle a medical issue with a calm, cool head. Lena is def a "go to" house sitter for me. I highly recommend her!!”

About: I have had dogs my entire life. I have raised three dogs on my own from puppies, so am very familiar with all stages of a dog's life, their needs and wants. I have a super friendly Charcoal Lab that would love to spend time with your dog while you are away! I am already caring for a pet every single day, so this fits in my routine very well. We take daily walks in the morning and evening, and usually spend the entire day together. I have a large yard and a friendly Lab for playing! I have a large crate if needed to make your pets feel comfortable or safe. I have had pets with health issues in the past, so am comfortable administering medication if necessary. I am also happy to bring pets to vet appointments, groomers, or any other appointments they may have.

“Mark is very friendly and kind. You can see how much he really loves animals. I felt comfortable having him care for my pets while I was away for four days over the holiday. Mark showed up on time and was very thorough to make sure that each animal ate (they sometimes steal each other's food) and he was conscious of making sure that everyone was okay even though my one cat kept hiding on him. Mark communicated well and my house was pristine when I returned - as if I never had left. He took the time to play with my animals in addition to basic care. I think my trio enjoyed the visits just as much as he did!”

“We owe Mackenzie a lot of thanks for taking such good care of our dog while we were skiing. She was super professional and communicative. Also, she was always on time when picking up and dropping off our dog. It made our ski trip so convenient because we didn’t have to worry about our dog feeling lonely in the hotel. What’s more, Mackenzie took our dog for two 6-miles hikes which our dog enjoyed. Overall, we’re very impressed with Mackenzie’s care of our dog and we are super grateful for her help. We strongly recommend her!”

“I have hired Jess to take care of my cat, Herschel, several times. She is always very enthusiastic to take care of him because she enjoys spending time with him, and I am sure that enthusiasm and care extends to other cats and animals. She has done a great job of taking care of him including being very gentle with him and sending me photos of Herschel while I'm gone to assure me of his good health.”

“Alli is super helpful and took great care of my cat for a week. She provides me pictures and videos everyday, and she responds very timely. Highly recommend!”

“Caitlin is a trustworthy, responsible, and animal loving person. I never have to worry when Gracie is in her care. She gets plenty of playtime, is walked, and most of all loved liked she is her own. I will not hesitate to use Caitlin again and again. You can’t go wrong - give her a try!”

“Hailey is amazing! She took great care of my two little guys. She was always very communicative and the dogs were super happy she came to give them a walk. I highly recommend!”

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.

About: My name is Melissa and I have taken care of animals since my first dog in second grade. I currently have one 15 year old cat, a 12 year old Labrador, and a 10 year old Shih-Tzo. For many years my spouse and I fostered or adopted senior dogs who may not have had a chance to be adopted. I have open availability on weekends, however on weekdays I am available early mornings, evenings and overnights. I’m not available during the daytime on weekdays. 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.

“Casey is very attentive and loving to all of her pets and all animals she meets. She is very active and involved with dogs. I would trust Casey to house and dog sit for me for any period of time, knowing I will come back to things better than I left them.”

“This was our first time using Rover and Emily gave us above and beyond service. She checked in daily to take care of our two cats for a week. We received daily photos and updates each day. We'll be booking Emily again - she was great!”

“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!”

“Michaela was great!! My family took a last minute day trip and she had no problem being quick to respond YES to the booking. Great communication and she followed all the directions! My dog Archie seemed to enjoy her company and she took great pics of him. Thank you for taking care of my second child and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable person to take care of their dogs. I will be using her again in the future A+++”

About: I’ve worked with dogs on and off for years but have had dogs all of my life. I have given played with big packs of pups and done solo play times as well. I have a flexible schedule that will let me have more availability for your fluffy friends to get out and play and exercise. I’m looking for a long term dog caring commitment to start off my new year. I am not able to do home care ( in my home) at this time. I do have two wonderful dogs who love to have play dates at puppy parks and go for long walks.

“I’ve was great, very accommodating; pups looked after super well and loved our photos from the visits. Would highly recommend!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️??❤️”

“Esther has watched my dog, my cats and even my chickens. She loves spending time with animals and makes sure they get attention and exercise. I’ve always been happy with how my animals were treated for short and long stays.”

About: I have had dogs all of my life! I volunteered at the humane society as a foster care provider and found homes for many dogs during this time. I worked with a veterinarian for the past ten years and provided care for his dogs. I am very active and can also run with your dog if you have a high energy breed such as a husky. I will care for your dogs as if they were my own and can also groom, massage, administer medications, recommend holistic nutritional changes, and provide any additional services that your furry companion may need. I can bring your pup to obedience classes, vet visits, or grooming appointments! I will also work with dogs that have issues such as socialization issues, manner problems, or anything else we may discuss. I currently work from home, so I am able to watch the furry friends all day. They can have a private space in the home, in the yard, or join the pack. I can customize preferences to include a hike, trail run, short walks, pick-up/drop off at your pets location, light grooming, etc. In my home I have three dogs, and they can be separate or play together if preferred. i have a large fenced yard. There is also a separate studio with a kennel if needed. If visiting a clients home, I will adjust to clients preferences and instructions.

“Amy is awesome, took such good care of our 2 dogs!”
