Pet care experience

Pet lover in Albany

I've been a dog lover since childhood and had my own dachshund Charlie for 9 years. I've watched big and small dogs for friends and neighbors, frequented dog parks, and walked dogs through sweltering heat and snow banks.

House Sitting • Mar 01, 2026

Maria was communicative throughout her stay with our pets - sending pictures and updates. She tidied up before she left making sure out first thoughts when getting home wouldn't be chores. She was considerate and thoughtful and we would book her again in a heartbeat.

Maria was responsive and took good care of my dog. I appreciated the updates and she left the apartment clean after house-sitting. I would hire again.

María was super good with my cat! She made sure Marcy was very well taken care of and had some good playtime while I was away

Maria watched my cat Noodle on several occasions when we were out of town. She was sure to feed him his wet food and medication, fill his water bow etc. Noodle would sit on her lap which he didn't do for most of our guests. She was also timely and communicative. Thanks!
