“Wonderful with my Colby! Highly recommended. Heather is reliable and was available in a pinch when my sitter was unavailable. She bonded with him quickly and I feel secure with him in her care.”
“5 stars all the way!! The communication was thorough and always put my minds at ease about our kitty and Guinea Pig. Stephanie is the best…anyone would be lucky to have her take care ANY fur-babies.”
About: I will care for your dogs with ease and I will always be on time and reliable! I will give your pup the special care and attention that he or she needs. I have over 14 years of experience caring for canines and felines. Working with the needs of your dog is my top priority. I am in Albany, NY. I have a flexible schedule and I can prioritize taking care of your furry friend! I can drop by for a food and play session with your cat, or bring your dog on a 60 minute walk, and feed your dog (if needed). Pets I take care of are in the pet parent's home, rather than my own home. If there are certain routines and things you would like to share with me about best practices in your home, please let me know.
“Natasha did a great job with our kitties! This was our first time using the Rover app and we were a little nervous about it, but Natasha sent us updates that put us at the ease (including letting us know when we had packages delivered) and we came home to happy kitties. We will definitely reach out to her the next time we need a sitter.”
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.
About: While I may be new to professional pet sitting, I truly love being around animals and have a deep level of compassion for them. You can trust that your pet will be safe, loved, and treated like family with me!" I work full-time as a third grade teacher and also teach in a summer literacy program. I am available part-time to provide love and happiness to your pet! I will care for your pet as I would want someone to care for mine. I will treat your home and pet with the respect and care and follow your instructions closely to maintain your pet’s routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special needs. I’ll provide plenty of attention, affection, and keep your pet comfortable and safe while you’re away. Plus, I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you feel connected and confident your pet is happy!
“Elena did a wonderful job with our 2 dogs. She was timely and sent great photos while she did her visits. We’ve used Elena two separate times and both times worked very well for us. We could do what we needed to do knowing that are pups were well taken care of. Plan to have Elena care for them again.”
“Sydney is the best! She is extremely helpful, professional and attentive to my dog's needs. She is always on time and thorough with her visits. Couldn't ask for a better sitter!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for many years. I’ve had a few dogs of my own and one now I have Enzo. I watch Ziggy (King Charles) and Zoey Golden Doodle when needed. I’m retired and home daily. I normally take a walk in the morning and evening sometimes in the afternoon. Dinner between five and six . I have a fenced in yard so the dogs that they can play. I give him a snack let them relax. We all have dinner between five and six. Bedtime 10
About: I have previously worked at a cat shelter (approx 250-300 cats), I have been a cat owner consistently for 21 years, I have sat a “zoo” before ~ dogs, cats, birds, a frog, fish, etc. I love to spend quality time with pets, not just a quick 5 minute drop in. I will happily rub their belly on top of feeding them. I have never, ever met a cat that didn’t like me! Typically the complete opposite & they end up adoring me. 😅 I work full time during the day til 5:00 and am remote 3 days a week (mon, tues, fri), with a compressed workweek that makes it possible to have every other Friday off. M-F I could do an evening visit only, and on days off (every other Friday or weekends) I could do one visit in the morning & one in the evening. Thanks to summer hours at my FT job I am available after 1pm every Thursday through August 28th. My cats are spoiled ~ there’s 2 litter boxes, 2 wet food dishes, 2 areas with dry crunchy food, and a water fountain. They get Churu’s or treats every once in awhile. I keep the floors clean so they don’t find some random thing to chew on. So needless to say I would treat your cat like royalty pretty much. 😊
“Daniel is kind, patient, and gentle. He takes the time to go slow and make sure your dog is comfortable. We have hired him a couple of times now and he has given us great relief that our dog is taken care of while we're gone”
About: I have both taken care of dogs ever since I was around 10 years old. My dogs have always been treated as extra children or siblings. Whether it’s puppies, senior dogs or dogs with extra needs, I know how it important it is to have someone trusted to be there for your pet. I have experience with big, little, energetic and temperamental dogs missing their parents or needing extra love and care. I am currently working from home so I have flexibility to help take care of your pet’s needs during the day or weekends. Advanced notice of at least 1 day is required to make sure I can accommodate your pet’s needs if applicable. With a fenced in dog park, and our own friendly Labrador full of energy and her past of medical needs and recovery support - I’m equipped to handle whatever specialities your pet may need.
About: Just looking for a companion to take with me on my morning or afternoon walks! I walk or run around 3 - 6 miles every day and absolutely love taking dogs with me. Unfortunately my pup is now 15 years old and can’t keep up anymore :/ I've grown up with dogs my whole life and have always been an animal lover. I've owned anywhere from a 4 lbs maltese to an 115 lbs golden retriever. I have experience with training as well as patience when it comes to puppies. On my walks, I am also willing to go to the local dog parks to play as well. Hopefully you'll consider me to be your go-to dog walker and keep them company/ tire them out while you’re away! My schedule is flexible and changes often so it allows me to make various times work throughout the week. I almost always go for a walk in the mornings between 6-8am or in the afternoons between 5-9pm. I have experience working with all types of dogs and am very good at reading behaviors on walks and outings as well as around food and other people. I’ve lived with dogs my whole life and know how to keep them safe/ make sure the doors close behind me/ keep them in fenced in areas when off leash, etc.

Hanna S.
“Hanna is a very caring and sweet girl. She is very athletic and takes my dogs for walks and even runs with them to tire them out. You can easily tell her love of animals and even my shy dog loves her and warmed up to her immediately. She is a pre-Med student and always has a dog on her lap or resting its head on her computer as she studies in the wee hours. She's very responsible and dependable. She'll love your dog like it's her own.”
