“Katie was amazing! She is incredibly kind and the fur babies loved her. She gave detailed recaps of her visits and went above and beyond while we were away. 🐾”

“Miranda was amazing with my cat— really attentive, detail oriented, and caring. My cat warmed up to her right away, which is rare! She sent great photos too. Highly recommended!”


“Natasha is always very great with my pup! My pup was being difficult about putting the harness on and she stayed a little extra to ensure she was taken care of. Thank you Natasha!”

“Sophia did an amazing job watching my 2 dogs! She sent detailed updates, lots of photos, and went above and beyond to make sure they felt comfortable while I was gone for 10 days. She maintained a high level of communication and I never had to worry. I highly recommend her for taking care of any pet you need!”

About: I have been dog sitting dogs since I was a teenager. I have experience with many different breeds both big and small. Since I don’t have any pets of my own right now I love being able to go meet new furry friends and play with them I have a pretty flexible work schedule. I can make my own schedule based off of the needs clients may have. Depending on when your pets need care I can adjust my schedule accordingly It is my pleasure to keep your pets company while you are away. I am happy to help out with whatever is needed. I am reliable and will keep your pets company while you are away.
“Maria was over the top amazing with my dog Brooke. After many attempts to find a pet sitter through our neighbors we decyto try River for the first time. Maria was the first to pop up near our home and was the perfect match! She even said she notice we were a bit in need and was gracious enough to try us for the first time. Maria came early for our first meet up, asked the right questions and is an absolute delight! She sent us pictures and positive feedback through the care process. Unfortunately, we were supposed to go camping for the entire weekend but due to lots of rain we had to cut the weekend short and I felt kind of bad but she was incredibly kind and understanding and helped me through the entire process seamlessly. I can’t thank her enough and am looking forward to our next visits with her and feel relieved to finally have a loving and caring responsible and professional pet sitter for Brooke. Maria is practically perfect in every way”

“Merissa and Nick were wonderful sitters for my dog Buddy. They checked in multiple times to update me on his progress and were very professional and caring towards myself and Buddy's needs. I would highly recommend them as dog sitters for anyone looking for a reliable sitter.”

About: I have been caring for pets for friends and family for many years. I am not afraid to get my hands dirty when it comes to cleaning up pet messes. Plus I love sending photos to owners to assure them that their pets are happy and cared for. I am mostly available weeknights and weekends. I am currently working full-time, but I have the ability to check in on pets during the day if needed. Weekday mornings are usually a little busy for me. While I cannot currently offer housing for pets in my home, partly due to a cat diva, I can promise to be respectful of any home I enter.
“Dylan’s communication was fantastic and showed up for my pup and made sure she was comfortable and well taken care of. Thank you Dylan, we appreciate your time and the care you provided so we could enjoy our time away!”

“Juliana was a fantastic dog sitter ! She was really prompt with communication, sent pictures of my pets, and overall was incredibly professional. She also let me know when small accidents happened, like when my dog knocked over a houseplant while he was playing or when he chewed on his leash. She was patient and did GREAT with my large, high energy 2 year old poodle. I’m very grateful to have a resource like her nearby and I look forward to hiring her again”

“We are absolutely obsessed with our cats and always feel confident in leaving them in Eleanor's care. She takes great care of them, spends time, and is highly communicative. Will always reach out to Eleanor when we are out of town!”

“This is the second time I have booked Kat to visit my kitties and both times she sent me a summary of the visit and their behaviors towards her (unsure at first but gererally warming up to her with every visit) along with some great photos. She is very responsive to messages and follows instructions well. If you book with Kat, rest assured that your pet will be in good hands!”
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.
About: Working with animals is both my night and day job! What sets me apart is my calm, attentive approach and genuine love for animals. I’m experienced with both high-energy animal's and seniors needing gentle, consistent care. I adapt easily to each animals routine and personality, making them feel safe and loved. I like to provide updates, so you never have to worry while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with my own two dogs. I plan to provide what I do to your companions. This includes walks, playtime, feeding, grooming, and attention, making every pet feel prioritized. I work part time so I make sure to stay organized and flexible so I can provide reliable, consistent care. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow any rules or routines if asked to ensure pets feel comfortable and safe. I double check doors, monitor behavior, and keep a clean, safe environment. I will never leave pets unsupervised in unsafe conditions and will communicate clearly with owners, so they know their pet is cared for like my own.

About: I am a B.Tech graduate in Canine Training and Management with years of experience handling diverse breeds, from high-drive working dogs to rescues. I offer more than just a walk; I bring professional behavioral expertise to ensure your dog stays safe, engaged, and well-cared for. I am fully equipped to handle walks, training reinforcement, and specific household routines. I look forward to providing your pet with expert, compassionate care! I am a recent graduate with a degree in Canine Training and Management and have full-time availability through the summer. I am a professional who excels at time management and maintaining strict routines. Even as I begin my Masters in August, I prioritize punctuality and clear communication to ensure your pet's schedule remains consistent and stress-free. I treat every pet with the same devotion I give my own therapy cat, Athena. My professional background means I’m always scanning for hazards and using 'behavior as communication' to read your pet's stress levels. Whether it's double-locking your doors or using professional handling for powerful breeds on-leash, safety and security are my top priorities.
About: 2+ years kennel experience. Including but not limited to, walking, bathing, feeding and giving any oral medication. Since working there I have been a pet sitter for many of my friends and family. I love caring for all animals of any size! I am currently available on WEEKENDS and 5pm - 8pm weekdays. I will care and love your pups and/ or kitties, like my own, during our walks and/or visits! My pups and I are lucky enough to have a fenced in yard of our own to play in, but at least once a day I like to take them for a walk. I will care for your pet however they need to be tended to. Whether that’s playing outside, walking them or just keeping them company inside. I can assure that you and your pet will be happy and satisfied at the end of our visit.

I was honestly in a panic when I messaged Christine last minute because the sitter I had booked months in advance suddenly couldn’t watch my dogs anymore. Christine responded so quickly and completely saved the day! She truly is a star and took such great care of my babies. I didn’t even have time to do a meet and greet beforehand, and I still felt completely comfortable with her. She was amazing from start to finish. Thank you so, so much for saving me and my dogs! ❤️ I would absolutely book with her again!

Maria and Brandi are the best! They were able to coax my very anxious kitty out from under the bed, which clearly means there good people. They replied quickly to all of my messages, sent pictures from every visit, followed my instructions to the "t," and went above and beyond to make this experience as stress-free as possible. l will definitely ask them to come back on my next trip out of town!

Merissa and Nick were wonderful sitters for my dog Buddy. They checked in multiple times to update me on his progress and were very professional and caring towards myself and Buddy's needs. I would highly recommend them as dog sitters for anyone looking for a reliable sitter.

We had Nina watch our cat for a long trip- about 9 days. She was very thoughtful with her rover reports and it was clear she went the extra mile making sure our senior cat was comfortable and cared for. I plan to book with her again and would recommend her!

Katharine did an excellent job taking care of my cat via drop-in visits while I was on vacation. Katharine is kind and friendly, very responsible, and experienced with cats, as a cat owner herself. She does a perfect job following directions and communicating, and she was very easy to work with. I highly recommend booking Katharine as your Rover, and I hope to work with her again in the future.

Dylan has watched Loli twice now and has taken excellent care of her. His communication is great and he’s on time. It is so nice to have a reliable sitter and it’s makes us happy to see our dog getting comfortable with him and see her so happy while we are away. Thank you Dylan!

We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter than Gabby! She took such great care of our cat, Mars, and our dog, Ruby, while we were away for two weeks. It was obvious from the updates and photos that they were both happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Mars can be a little particular, and Gabby made sure he got all the cuddles and attention he loves. She also made sure Ruby got her daily walks and plenty of love. Knowing they were in such caring hands gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Gabby was reliable, communicative, and treated our pets like they were her own. We came home to two happy, healthy pets, and we are so grateful for everything she did. I would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for someone kind, dependable, and genuinely caring. We will absolutely be booking with her again!
