Pet Sitting in Mechanicville

“Mary-Kate was really great about helping us out with only a few days notice. She was right on time and communicated with me on how our dog was doing each time she stopped over to see her. She also sent pictures, which was much appreciated. I hate leaving our dog but this definitely made it easier knowing that Sofie was being well taken of.”

“Nicole did a great job with my dog Shadow. He looked so so happy in all of the pictures she sent. She was extremely punctual with her timing, and kept me updated on how the visit went!”

“Emily did an amazing job taking care of all my animal babies. My two kitties and two sheep loved her. And my chickens and ducks were quite happy as well. I was so happy to know they were all being taken care of while I was away. Thank you Emily!”

“Donna was terrific. I got updates every day with pictures. She went over and beyond what was expected. I forgot to turn on lights for the cats and it was so nice to pull up late at night and she remembered to leave lights on for them. She also brought in my mail and dealt with some unexpected accidents around the house from my older cat Lou. Will definitely book Donna again from my next trip”

“Brittany was wonderful pet-sitting our 13 year old malti-poo, Lily. Lily loves her, Brittany came right on time and sent updates and photos. We will not hesitate to contact her again.”

About: I am not currently working so I have all the time in the world to dedicate to the pups! In general I'm quite flexible, I like to fly by the seat of my pants. Within the past 9 years my brother got a Basset Hound, (who has since passed), my parents got a German Shepherd, (who has since passed), and I got a Shepherd/Hound rescue pup. Man so I miss having pup around! I've quickly become the dog sitter because I like dogs more than people! I am very comfortable with big dogs and open to working with smaller dogs. I love taking long walks with the pups. If the dog is willing I love to teach them new things! I have all of the patience in the world for dogs. They are and will always be my number one priority at all times. I will respect and follow any rules or guidelines you have knowing full well how much work goes into training and wouldn't want to cause any set backs. I'm a stay at home mom of a 5 year boy. He goes everywhere with me and is also amazing with dogs. So if your dog just needs some company or a nice walk, I'm your girl! I care for any pet as if it were my own. Any specific directions given to me will be followed to a "T". I know how important pets are and I treat them as such.

“Michelle is the BEST. I feel so comfortable leaving our Flower in her hands while we’re away. Our dog is very reactive and sometimes difficult to walk… Michelle is like the dog whisperer with her. She’s amazing, I almost don’t want to recommend her because then she’ll be too busy with other customers! 💗”

“Very friendly and great with our kitties! Let me know when she was heading over a followed up with several pictures, as well as what she did. Would hire again!!”

Elizabeth R.

“As always, Meg is so compassionate, caring, and gentle with our kitty. She always ensures to feed her her food with her meds, and makes sure her water bowl and litter are attended to. She always spends quality time giving her lots of pets and cuddles and making her feel at ease. We couldn’t recommend Meg enough, if you choose her to watch your little fur baby, you will never be disappointed. Thank you Meg!”

About: I have grown up with my three dogs in the house that I have always helped out with and got my two cats when i got my first job following my cats i’ve had as a child. I pet sit for my neighbors when they go on trips and watch their dog and two cats, as well as go over to brush and walk the dog when needed and I have done this for them for 7 years I currently work part time and have lots of free time to take care of your pets! I have time for long and short visits / walks. Safety with the animal and communication with the owner is key! Thanks to my Certifications I know how to properly restrain all size pets if needed, as well as perform CPR if needed.

About: Hi! Some of my first baby pics are with dogs and only recently has that changed. I grew up almost always with my grandmother showing, boarding, grooming, training dogs, and attended many shows with her each year. I even showed a few dogs! As an adult she gave me my first dog, a red male Doberman. I soon became interested in rescue, so volunteered and fostered with the Tarheel Weimaraner Rescue in NC. I fostered four dogs and only kept one- which is pretty good I think! I also worked at a doggy daycare for over a year in NC, introducing me to first hand experience with different breeds, daily meds, senior dog care, and managing a group. Over a decade has come and passed with my 3 amazing dogs, and I was soon empty nesting. I want to offer *walking and running* for larger breed, healthy dogs that need more exercise. My schedule of availability is mostly early morning, late evening, and weekends with limited availability during the week. Schedule will be updated on my profile I am offering walking and running services initially outside of my home; the answer to this is a discussion that would happen with the client prior to hiring!

About: I've been a dog lover my whole life, and before I had a dog/pet of my own, I would walk about 6 dogs 3 times a week for friends, which has given me experience with a wide range of breeds, sizes, and personalities. I am an enthusiastic and active dog walker, and I can create a fun environment to keep your dog active and mentally stimulated. I'm skilled at reading a dog's body language, so I'll be able to tell when your dog is happy, anxious, or just needs a break. I'll take the time to earn your dog's trust, whether through gentle petting, interactive playtime, or just quiet company. My goal is to make your time away stress-free by providing the best care for your dog and your home. My full-time, remote job gives me the flexibility to provide exceptional pet care. Since I work from home, I can offer frequent potty breaks, midday walks, and plenty of attention throughout the day. This allows me to adapt to your pet's specific routine and schedule, ensuring they get the care they need without being left alone for long periods. I'm also available for bookings on weekends, offering complete coverage for your pet. When caring for pets in your home, I follow all instructions and routines to the letter. I prioritize the security of your home by ensuring all doors and windows are locked and secured. I'm also mindful of keeping your home tidy, especially by cleaning up any pet-related messes. I'll make sure to keep a close eye on your pet to ensure their safety and well-being.

About: I’ve taken care of many types of pets including dogs, cats, rats, lizards, and many others. My main skills that I prioritize include basic dog training. Structured walks available. I’m currently full time (work from home) and can be available on the specified days I have listed on my profile. Open to specific requests if needed! I care for pets according to the owners specific situation and requests. Please advise on the rules and they will be followed to the best of my abilities !

About: Its been 3 years since I’ve last been on Rover due to having a small child so I’m starting out on here all over again ☺️ My daughter is in school and camp now so I have time to help owners who don’t have a flexible schedule make sure their loved animals are taken care of. I have a big dog of my own who stays in the yard most the day or on the couch! He plays great with other dogs & is also a lover. I am a free spirt. I love hiking , trails, or just walking in the neighborhood. I offer hair brushing, bathing animals, nail clipping/grinding, and can brush their teeth if needed. I love taking dogs swimming at lakes and streams, running, and exercising animals are also some other fun things I offer. I’m full of energy & love animals- my favorite animals are horses & dogs. I am a self employed hairstylist so I have time to help since I make my own work schedules. Since I do not have a set work schedule if my services are needed for longer visits I can definitely make that happen. I’m able to start today or tomorrow and am very excited to help with your little family members 🐶🐱Thank you very much Ali Gant I am self employed so my hours are very flexible. I can also run home fast or to your house anytime to let an animal out for their feeding or walk. I have a safe environment and work on safety in others homes. The collar and leash will be put on before the front door opens so no running out the door is possible. Practice sitting before the door opens is a positive start to any walk.

“Brielle is an absolute delight! She took such wonderful care of my cats, one of which is special needs, while I was away. Brielle is communicative, thorough, and my animals, even my fussy dog, all took to her immediately! I felt so comfortable leaving my fur babies in her care and highly recommend her!”

“Nicole did an outstanding job with Kiki! He had some special considerations being an older cat and Nicole took it in stride and was very communicative with any issues that came up and his health status at the time. I'll definitely be reaching out to Nicole in the future when Kiki needs supervision.”

About: Hi there! I'm Bree, a lifelong animal lover with years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages and personalities I know how important it is to feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and loved when you’re away. That’s why I always communicate clearly with pet parents to understand their needs before taking up a job. I want the best experience for all parties. I can send regular updates, photos, and even a few videos to keep you in the loop! I'm currently working 3 days a week, usually Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays from 8 am to 3 pm at the latest. Pet care can fit into my schedule very well, depending on the needs and wants of the owners and pets. I am very flexible and can adjust accordingly Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I treat every pet with the same level of love, respect, and attention I give my own. In your home, I do my best to keep your pet’s routine consistent—mealtimes, walks, play, and quiet time—because I know how important structure is for their well-being. I’m careful to follow your instructions exactly, and I always double-check details like feeding guidelines, medication, and home security (doors, gates, etc.). I also send regular updates if needed, so you know your pet is happy and safe while you're away.

About: I have been sitting for years and currently have two dogs of my own. Our older dog had ear cancer so I am familiar with how to care for sick dogs and how to give medicine and the treatments of such nature. I currently work during the work week so I am free most nights during the week week do stop ins and then have much more open availability on the weekends! I am very attentive to the needs set out by the parents and make sure I am following instructions! I love taking the pets and walks as it’s good for both me and them! I would love to play and also can be down for a good cuddle as well.

“Kaylene was wonderful and would recommend her to care for anyone’s furkids. You can feel her genuine love for animals and the care she provides reflects it. Thank you so much for taking care of Simba and Nala!”
