“Kelly was great! It was always nice to see the notes/pictures each visit and she made sure she kept me updated on an impromptu issue with happy tail! Not a foreseen issue my Hope had until a few days before, but Kelly made sure to check on her tail often and wrap it when needed.”

Sarah R.

About: I provide calm, attentive boarding in a quiet home with a fully fenced backyard. I keep my boarding group intentionally small, hosting no more than four dogs at a time, and carefully consider each dog’s temperament, needs, and compatibility. This allows me to provide a lower-stimulation environment, consistent routines, and plenty of personal attention without operating like a high-volume kennel. I’m currently taking a break from pet ownership after my own dog passed away, so visiting dogs receive my full focus while they’re here. My home has no resident pets and no children, which can be especially helpful for dogs who may feel overwhelmed in busier boarding settings. I have over 20 years of experience caring for dogs and cats, including senior pets and pets with medication or special care needs. During the COVID period, I fostered 12+ dogs through Schenectady Homeward Bound, which gave me experience with a wide range of temperaments, routines, energy levels, and adjustment needs. My goal is to provide a safe, clean, comfortable home-away-from-home where your dog can settle in, enjoy the yard, go for walks, and keep as much of their normal routine as possible. I work full-time, but I often work from home and live close enough to stop in frequently during the day. This gives me the flexibility to provide regular walks, potty breaks, and companionship. I'm available for boarding and drop-in visits on evenings, weekends, and holidays. Safety and comfort are my priorities. My home has a fully fenced backyard for supervised outdoor time. I generally host pets from one household at a time, which allows me to provide a calm, home-based experience with plenty of individual attention. I carefully consider temperament, size, routines, and compatibility, and I can separate pets for meals, rest, or individual attention when needed. I follow care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, crate routines, walking preferences, and any specific comfort needs. Written instructions are especially helpful because they allow me to keep your dog’s routine as consistent as possible while you’re away. I keep a clean, calm, non-smoking home and aim to prevent the stress that can come with crowded boarding environments. Dogs have regular potty breaks, backyard time, walks, companionship, and downtime throughout the day. You’ll receive regular photo and message updates so you can relax knowing your dog is safe, comfortable, and well cared for.

“Arielle too great care of our pets, we didn't have any worries as she sent updates and photos throughout the week. I'll definitely book her again for our next trip.”

“Our dogs love Alexa! We also know they are well cared for (and maybe even a little spoiled) when they are with her.”

Maddie C.

“Jillian was a true wonder!! I felt completely at ease with her care for my two cats. She showered a ton caring and affection on them, and really seemed to get their complicated feline dynamics! My kitty Jojo needs asthma treatment and Jill was at ease with administering (: She navigated his moods - and dealt with catio stressors - like a pro, and with good humor, and kept in close communication with me through it all! Highly recommend- if you want someone who both enjoys and "gets" your pets!”

About: Loving and caring for your pet is my upmost priority. I have a medical back ground with the love and care that can’t be matched. I am retired from the US Army and have a great deal of time to spend with your baby or babies. I would love to care for and spoil your babies All animals with be 100% watched at all times. No dogs will be just let out. They will be walked , played with and brought out to run. If you have me care for your cat, I will always spend time caring for your cat. I will get down on the floor and play if they like to And I will always clean up after dogs on their walk and clean up cat litter boxes to make sure the cat is comfortable every time it feels the need to use the litter box.

“Angela treated our kitties so well and went above and beyond to be communicative with us and send detailed updates. Our kitties were in such a happy mood when we arrived home. We would definitely call Angela again next time we head out of town and feel at ease knowing they are in good hands🥰”

About: I am a college sophomore on the pre-veterinary track. I have extensive animal experience, including, but not limited to, giving medications to special needs and elderly dogs. I have worked with animals with all different temperaments and am able to work with each one at the level that they are comfortable with. I won't just watch your pup. I will make sure that they are happy and exercised! I will maintain communication and provide regular updates to assure you and your family that your pets are doing great! I'm currently working full time, but I will still have lots of time around my work schedule to make sure that your pet is getting all the love and attention it deserves! When I care for pets in their own home, I keep everything as close to their normal routine as possible. This helps reduce stress and keeps them feeling secure. I always: - Follow your instructions carefully (feeding, walks, meds, etc.) - Keep your home tidy and clean up after pets - Provide companionship, cuddles, and playtime - Maintain their usual sleep, potty, and exercise habits - Bring in mail or water plants if needed - Send photos and updates so you know they’re doing great My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and happy while you're away.

“Lila was wonderful with Snickers. She was very prompt and did everything I asked with his crazy senior dog behaviors. She’s sweet and loves dogs, it’s obvious with her interaction when she met my dog. It was also quite a last-minute booking, and she really helped us out that way.”

Kimberlie M.

“Alyssa did an amazing job taking care of Huxley! She arrived on time, followed all directions perfectly, and was reliable and communicative throughout. It’s clear she genuinely cares about animals. She also kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us real peace of mind. We would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and caring dog sitter!”
