About: I've been around animals my entire life, living in a veritable zoo with cats, dogs, reptiles, fish, hamsters, and siblings. While I've helped care for my parent's pets since I was a child, my first fur-baby is Sully, a 75lb German Shepherd/Black Lab rescue that my wife and I adopted in 2016. Since my primary work is at home, I spend more time with Sully than anyone else! I currently work a full-time job in online education, and I am also responsible for care-giving for my son at least two days per week. I plan for pet-care to be a part-time job where I travel to your home to walk and/or spend time with your pet. I am open to dog boarding if your dog ends up being a good fit and is introduced to my son and dog. I have a fenced-in yard for play, and I'm also a short walk from Woods Hollow Nature Preserve in Ballston Spa. I am out with Sully every 3-4 hours for a walk, potty-break, or to play ball.

About: Combining a love for animals with over 4 years of experience in veterinary medicine, I am dedicated to the health, comfort, and happiness of all pets in my care. Currently expanding my skills in dog training and behavior, I bring expertise in not only handling but also understanding each pet’s unique personality, routines, and needs. You can trust me to provide safe, compassionate care with attention to detail for your best fuzzy friends, from adventurous pups to gentle senior pets. All paws are welcome! I’m a proud parent to two husky mixes and have had the privilege of caring for animals from various backgrounds, including those needing specialized attention or medication. A true cat enthusiast as well, I bring the same level of respect and understanding to our feline friends. My goal is to build a lasting connection with each animal I meet, creating a trustworthy bond for both pets and their people. Every walk and session is an opportunity to enrich your pet’s life and offer you peace of mind. My schedule is currently open to enrich my own dogs and many others! I will apply my training skills daily to all dogs in my care, specializing in social skills and the basic manners I have years of leash experience with XXL breeds, hunting breeds, and teacup sizes as well. I've mentored under behavioral specialist and award winning veterinarians, learning safe handling techniques,

“Elaina is great with my adult beagle. Very prompt and responsive to any of my messages. Will definitely be using her again in the future!”

“Nicole is an awesome dog walker and caregiver, one of the best we've ever had. She took great care of our two French bulldogs and her communication and attention to detail is superb. Really glad we found her. She is highly recommended.”

About: Hello! My name is Maddy, I have always had pet dogs for as long as I can remember, and have always loved the furry family members and making friends with them. I have been walking and caring for dogs my entire life, however they have all been decently trained (not pulling me all over town!) I believe a midday walk while the family members are at work is healthy and beneficial for the pups and it is good to make sure they haven't gotten into any trouble at home too! And hopefully they will bump into their neighborhood furry friends! I am available weekdays and some weekends. I look forward to keeping your dog active, healthy, and happy!

“10 degrees outside and Jack still walked my dogs for a mile! Would highly recommend to anyone looking for someone to take care of their fur babies!”

About: My name is Candace, and I am a reliable and loving pet care provider with a background in Veterinary medicine. I have experience in handling and caring for animals of all sizes and species. I've spent the last 16 years building long lasting relationships with animals and their owners. Your pets happiness and care is my priority. I strive to provide care and love, so much that your pet won't even realize you're away! I grew up with dogs all my life but currently I have 2 dogs; one is a 6 year old Boston bulldog, and the other is a 3 year mix. I am usually always available for all your pets needs and on short notice. I am very comfortable with distributing any medication your pet may need, and I have experience in giving IV fluids and injections. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out. Pet sitting is my full time gig, so you will never have to worry about your pet not getting the attention that they deserve. My days consist of over night stays, and dog walking and your pets are my first priority! If house sitting I spend the whole night into the morning and if time/schedule allows a majority of the day with your pet. I do step out here and there for drop in visits/ walks with other clients. I strive for a cage free, loving, accepting environment, and try my hardest to never go more than 4 hours without stopping to check in and give some extra loving! I strive to keep your pet alone for as little time as possible. (Please continue reading below for rates, reviews, and about my typical days with your pet.)

“Victor was amazing. He was sure to send an update and photo with each walk and took the time to play with our pup and show him some love while we were way. We would definitely hire him again.”

About: My name is Brooke and I’m looking for Dog walking/Pet sitting clients close to the Malta area! I moved into the Grandeville apartments about a month ago, so preference to anyone that lives in these apartments or anywhere within a 10-15 minute drive! I’m a transplant from Philly so I’m currently working a few at-home jobs, which makes my availability completely open for your pet-sitting needs. I’ve lived with dogs my entire life and I’ve had experience with dogs from puppies, to elders, small 5 lb breeds to Great Danes, couch potatoes to super active. I’ve also watched dogs who needed special training or who had special needs (like seizures.) I have no breed or size restrictions. I do walks, drop in visits, boarding, and staying within your home. I do prefer repeat clients over one-off sessions but contact me if you have any questions! I am currently working from home running a small business! So I have open availability for your pet. I do not have my own dog at the moment, so all of my pet-loving energy is going towards yours! With dog walking, I prefer times between 9am and 10pm. I have an apartment in a complex that is incredibly pet friendly, with a fenced in dog park and dog washing station. I try my hardest to make sure that pets are comfortable in my home. In your home, I try to make sure that I communicate with you as much as possible, to make sure that you feel safe with me in your home and taking care of your pet!

“Lucas was able to walk our dogs same day. He provided excellent care to our animals and took them for a 30 minute walk for a very fair and reasonable price.”

I work from home and have pretty flexible availability to drop in on your dog or cat during the week or on weekends throughout Ballston Spa. I’m very attentive to keeping pets safe and well cared for - will always follow any directions you provide and am very good with my own dog when letting her out of walking on a leash.

About: I've worked with horses my whole life, and I've had dogs growing up animals are a big part of my life, they replace my stress with love and fulfill my happiness i can relate to a dog better then i can with a human, animals will always be apart of my life no matter what i am doing, being with dogs is a way for me to be myself my availability is pretty flexible if i can help people that are in need of a dog walker then i am willing to abolish with the request. the AM hours are better for me seeings that i have horses to take care of and then teaching children how to ride later on in the day :) I currently run my own equine facility and I have my own dog and cats that I care for. I love that I can make a difference in the world when it comes to the equine community and I want to do the same for pet owners with dogs and cats. I have a invisible fence in my back yard for my dog , I would listen to what ever the client would need me to do for their pet.

About: I’m a full-time work-from-home professional who loves dogs and provides dependable, attentive care you can trust. As a responsible adult with a flexible schedule, I’m available to help whenever your furry friend needs a walk, a visit, or loving care whether it’s part of your routine or a last-minute request. I can care for pets throughout the day and week depending on needs. I have intermittent travel and work depending on the time of year. Whether I’m caring for your dog in your home or mine, I treat them like family. I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and preferences so they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. From feeding and walks to playtime, companionship, and plenty of attention, I provide personalized care tailored to your dog’s unique needs while treating your home with the utmost respect.

“Our dog has special medical needs so we can’t trust just anyone with her care. Rachelle made us feel comfortable right away and our dog loved her. We will definitely be using her when I go back to work in the office.”

About: I appreciate you taking the time to review my profile. I am retired and finally doing what I love most! I have loved dogs since I was a young child chasing Oscar at my grandparents' farm. To this day, if I see a dog I have to introduce myself. I have cared for dogs from six week old puppies to elders in their final days. I also have experience with cats, having lived with four of them! My commitment to my clients is that I will treat your pet as my own. I will follow your instructions closely. I will be someone that you can count on, arriving on time and giving you all the value for which you have paid. I will send you text messages and pictures while I am with your pet. And, I will be a conscientious, responsible house sitter. Please see my reviews for the experience of other clients. I am retired but fit and healthy. I am available most days and will stay with you pets overnight as well. I hope to turn pet care into a 25-30 hour/week job. I am unable to bring a pet into my home. For pet care in your home, I would closely follow your instructions. I do believe that play time and outdoor time are critical for pets fit for such activities. I want you to be very happy with my care and to request me again!
