“Jose has been amazing! It is very comforting to know that my boys are well cared for when I cannot be there. We were able to do a meet and greet before scheduling regular walks. He is punctual, polite, and communicative. I can tell Astor enjoys his walks because every day I have off, like clockwork, he looks for Jose.”

Katie S.

“We couldn’t be happier to have Stephanie caring for Brodie. Finding the right person to walk / care for your pet is hard, we lucked out with Stephanie. We will be using Stephanie again, and if your reading this review, you should to. Thank you Stephanie..”

“Emily is incredible! She goes above and beyond sharing photos after walks and giving plenty of exercise. My goldendoodles absolutely adored her when I was on vacation and I was so grateful that she could do mornings walks. I highly recommend Emily when she came to visit before, she was super attentive asked questions, was super knowledgeable already and knew exactly what to do! I will definitely be rebooking with Emily for any future dog needs 😊”

Ashley Y.

“Amanda was great! She was on time and made sure to update me on my pup. Amanda was easy to work with and helped me out last minute ! Will definitely be booking her again in future (:”

Rachel K.

“Elena is wonderful and I’ve already rebooked with her! She came over to let my rambunctious pup out daily while I was out of town, even bringing along her own dog to get some extra energy out, and made sure to send updates and photos. Ahead of time, she asked really great questions about our dog care preferences, which highlighted her experience and made me feel very comfortable with our first time Rover experience. Highly recommend!”

About: I have been taking care of my neighbors, family, friends, and my own dog/pets for 10 years including walks, feeding, watching, and helping train. I have experience with puppies and older dogs as well as injured or sick dogs. I am currently in a local college for health care. I am free all day Saturday-Monday and after 3 Tuesday-Friday. I have transportation and can drive a reasonable distance. I would follow any rules you have set for your dog (ex. food allowed, walking requirements, type of leash/collar for walks, and if they need to be crated or not) I would be able and willing to provide any medical care needed as long as I am shown how to correctly.

“It was a pleasure to work with you! We appreciate your time with our fur babies, reliability and great communication. Thank you!”

About: I’ve always had pets growing up. In my teens and 20’s I worked as kennel assistants for multiple vets throughout the US as well as a Great Dane breeder. Through those jobs word of mouth happened and pet sitting just happened naturally. I truly love all animals and treat them as family in your absence. We have 2 fluffy kitties who loves snuggles and 1 older kitty who prefers to be seen and not touched 🤣. My two children (12 & 8) have been raised with the knowledge of pet ownership and are proving to be wonderful pet owners as well. I’m retired from the federal government and am looking to fill my free time with helping others with a need I feel is hard to come by. My yard is fenced in completely. We have a doggie door for easy use for anyone staying the night. If you have a kitty who needs overnight care in my home, I’d keep them separate in an extra bedroom during the night but put the doggie door down during the day so they could roam and explore (and get plenty of snuggles)

About: Spending time with your dog/s will brighten my day! As a dog owner, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet. I am comfortable with all breeds and personalities, and I treat every pet as if they are my own. I will be sure to offer them the same love, attention, and care I would give my own furry companion. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or just some company while you’re away, I’m here to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved. I’m a Special Education Teacher and am available on weekends, school breaks, and during the summer. I am flexible and eager to help your pet I have a fenced in yard and am comfortable crating a dog if suggested by the owner. Safety is a priority for me and I will be sure to make sure you’re pet is secure and safe.

About: I’m a Dog-lover who has spare time for you pup.I love to travel, but hate to leave my pets, so I understand what you need when you travel you need to trust that your pet is safe and loved. All dogs deserve respect and kindness from a trustworthy person while you are unavailable. I currently have 3 dogs. We love be full time in Daytona Beach and occasionally visit family in NYS. Enjoy your travels; your dog will be in good hands. I work 3 days/week. I am available most of the the other days, including weekends. Walking, playing and companionship available for your dog. Enjoy your travel! In my home we stay with no Other pets or people . In your home, I will visit as requested and follow any instructions given.

About: I’ve always had a love for animals - and especially cats! I grew up volunteering at animal shelters, working to help socialize both cats and dogs to help them get adopted faster. I started formally cat sitting for friends a few years ago, and it has revitalized my love for taking care of animals. It would be a pleasure to help you with your pet fam! I currently work part time in downtown albany. I will mostly be available afternoons and weekends. I love to go on walks or cozy up with my favorite book. I’d love to have a fur baby join me in these activities! In my experience with cat/dog sitting, I am used to preparing meals, cleaning litter boxes, going on walks, changing water, and play time- in addition to never ending head scratches and belly rubs!

About: I've had pets my entire life and have been active in their care since early on. I have personal experience taking care of dogs, cats, bunnies, and rodents throughout my life. I've dog and cat sat (daily check-ins and overnight stays) for several people in my life over the years, including my close friends, coworkers, and bosses. I have recent experience with taking care of and aiding senior pets in their daily routine and have no issue administering medication as instructed by their veterinarians/owners. In addition, I have no issue maintaining consistency in training and providing mental stimulation for younger pets. I know that younger animals are learning and that they need time to process requests. I understand that pets can be unique in their behaviors and that their owners know them best. It's important to me to make sure pets are well taken care of and comfortable in their lives - and that can look different for different pets and owners. I'm a research-focused graduate student with a more flexible schedule than most, so I can visit multiple times throughout the day and night. I have my own car so I can easily travel to clients' homes and have seat-belt attachments to travel with animals in the car as well if the need arrises. I strive to keep things as consistent and predictable as possible, maintaining a pet's schedule as laid out by the owner. I've used a variety of leashes and feeding schedules over the years and find that it really depends on the dog/owner on which one works best. For example, my dog Wiggles likes to graze so she has access to food around the clock, but when I take care of my brother's dogs, they require a more structured feeding schedule that I adhere to for them.

“Lynne was incredibly kind and patient with my senior dog! Doug was hesitant to go for a walk, and she encouraged him each day.”

About: I don’t have any experience with having a dog because my parents never wanted one but I want a dog so bad and will take care of your dog really well! Dogs are just so sweet and happy and I would love to take care of your dog! I have a bunny who acts basically like a puppy, he runs after treats I throw and loves to be petted, I’m just missing that dog in my life! I’d love to have a furry friend that I can take care of even if I don’t own him, but I’ll treat him as if I do and I will take great care of him when you need it and that will take your worries away! I do instacart and doordash so I have my own schedule whenever I want and can work around that since I choose when to work! I won’t take pets to my home, but in your home I will follow your instructions perfectly because I know that a fur baby is family!
