“We just adopted a rescue and were nervous about leaving him for the first time. Madalyn put our mind at ease. Madalyn followed all our instructions, walked him at the local park, and sent us pictures and updates daily. We came home to a very happy pup!”

“My dogs had a blast with Kevin. He took time to get to know them by visiting my place in advance. Thanks so much for your patience and flexibility in a last-minute booking!”

“Our experience with Jessica was absolutely amazing. We were gone for a week, and she took such incredible care of our two dogs. Taking care of two dogs can be a lot, but Jessica handled everything so well and made the whole process stress-free for us She kept us updated regularly with pictures and messages, and it was clear the dogs were getting tons of love, attention, and care every single day. One of our dogs is usually cautious around new people and was completely adamant about not warming up to anyone at first but by mid week, they had become best buddies. Seeing that level of trust and comfort honestly meant so much to us. When we got home, the dogs were so happy, relaxed, and attached to her routine that it actually took them almost 10 minutes to realize we were back! That alone says everything about how comfortable and cared for they felt during the stay. We’re very grateful for the care and attention she gave our pups and would gladly trust her again in the future. Highly recommend”

About: I have taken care of cats and dogs of all kinds for over 10 years. I grew up with 3 cats and 2 dog. I love animals and I can stay in your home or host pets. Your dog will be allowed on the couch and bed. I have a fenced in back yard where your dog will always be accompanied by me. I will give lots of cuddles and love. I work full time but I have a hybrid schedule where I can be home all day. I can also stop in for visits as needed. I have a fenced in yard and will always be with your dog in the yard. We can go for great walks around the SUNY Albany campus. I currently have 2 cats that are very kind and curious.

“Patrick came for a meet and greet and understood the needs of my reactive dog. He did great with her and she warmed right up to him. He took care of her specialty food needs as well as medication. He was also very responsive and kept us updated. We will definitely reach out to him for future sits.”

About: I have owned and taken care of my own cats and dogs my whole life. I have also worked on a dairy farm. So I’m able to work with larger pets too. I’m available during the day 8am-10pm,I can make an exception to nights if you looking for a vacation sitter. I’m open to all type is special diets an needs to the animal such as helping them use the bathroom or eat. I prefer to stay at the clients home due to having 3 cats of my own and not knowing how they are with other cats.

About: I feel very proud that whenever I meet an animal we’re almost Instantly best friends. They say that dogs can sniff out honest and kind people. I feel very skilled at building trusting connections with pets and making sure they are happy when you come home! I am able to keep them safe and entertained, handle medicine, food, etc. I have a long list of repeated clients and growing that list helps me support myself and my artistic career! I hope this bio stood out to you because I'd love to spend time with your pet so you can have a stress free day away from the house! I have a very flexible schedule. I work many different gigs that make my schedule super flexible! I am able to make trips during the day to care for your pet while you're at work and I am also able to hang with them in the evenings if you decide you want to have a night out! I like building trust between animals. Repeated visits with pets are very important to help reduce stress on them. I give them space upon first meeting to give them the opportunity to approach me when they are ready to do so. until in no time we are besties.

“Stephanie was great very attentive and caring. Handling my old dogs low vision well and I was sent updates and pictures of my boys daily. I would definitely recommend her to anyone!”

About: I’ve been a trusted Rover sitter for over 3 years, and caring for dogs is something I truly love. Getting to know each dog’s unique personality and building a bond with them is one of the most rewarding parts of what I do. Whether your dog loves to play, go for walks, or simply relax with company, I’ll make sure they receive the love, attention, and care they deserve. My experience started long before Rover, caring for my childhood dog as well as the dogs of family, friends, and neighbors whenever they needed someone they could trust. Since joining Rover, I’ve had the opportunity to care for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities, including senior dogs and dogs with special needs. I understand that some pups require extra patience, attention, and care, and I always take the time to learn their routines, preferences, and individual needs so they feel comfortable and supported. I pride myself on being highly communicative and providing pet parents with peace of mind through regular updates, photos, and prompt responses. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your dog, and I treat every pup with patience, kindness, and genuine care. I’d love the chance to become someone you and your pup can count on. If you’re looking for a sitter who will provide loving care, consistent communication, and plenty of attention, send me a request and I’d be happy to help! I currently work from home, which allows me to provide plenty of attention, companionship, and care to make sure your pup feels safe, happy, and well cared for. I have a spacious, pet-friendly apartment with plenty of room for your pup to feel comfortable and relaxed. I enjoy taking frequent walks and trips to the nearby dog park to provide exercise, enrichment, and fun. If your fur baby is kennel trained, just let me know and I’ll be happy to accommodate their routine. My home is 100% pet friendly and welcoming

“Jillian responded quickly to our emails and did a wonderful job with our pets. We would highly recommend her!”

“Katie was AMAZING! So sweet to Oliver and gave me constant updates so I felt at ease knowing he was in great hands while I was away. Will definitely rebook!”

About: I not only love caring for animals, but learning all their quirks and personalities. I am very familiar with the patience and love it takes to care for seniors, and the space many animals want from humans (especially new ones). I am happy to meet them where they’re at and hopefully brighten up their day! I have lots of experience with giving pills, special diets, etc. as well. I learn fast and take animal care very seriously. I’m currently working part time and studying to apply for grad school, so I have plenty of time! I often am doing one of my many hobbies or spending time with loved ones, which can easily be shared with your little loves too. At home, I am vigilant about dangers for my cat when I am not around and triple check to make sure she is safe and she can’t get into anything. My main priorities are to make sure she is healthy, happy, and enriched!

“Loren was wonderful! I would highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs! I went away for a week and had never left my dog with anyone other than family before. I was a little anxious about it. Loren knew this and was very kind and compassionate. She took amazing care of my fur baby and I can't thank  her enough! Loren went above and beyond what I was looking for and I will absolutely use her services again.”

Christine S.

“Shane was amazing! He kept in contact with us through out the day, sent us a check up pic and offered to stay later if needed. He even won over the trust of our shyest dog Maggie which is hard to do! I strongly recommend him for your pets!!!”
