Dog Walking Middle Grove

About: Jeremy and I have always had animals all our lives from small ones such as rodents to reptiles to birds, cats, dogs and even farm animals! I have also been a dog groomer for 3 years now so I understand everything under the sun with them, from administering home vet care such as shots and pills for older senior pets or the care of special needs pets. Maybe your pets have a certain schedule that most people can't do because they work most of the day and need in home 24/7 care because of their needs. Maybe they need in-home grooming such as hair cuts, bath and brush or nail clippings-nail grinding. We can do it all with love and compassion for the pets and their owners in life. From walking to overnight stays, you can rest assure that they will be safe and loved while they are in our care as if they were our own kids because they are not just a pet in your life, to a lot of people they are an extended part of your family and not everyone understands that and that's where we come in! We always make time for the pet in your life, from dog walking to drop ins to overnight stays in your home for the dog or cat in your life. We take care of your pet the way you want us to, walk us through your home and show us everything you want us to do with them with a list and we will make sure your pet is loved and cared for just the way you do.

About: I've been around animals my entire life, living in a veritable zoo with cats, dogs, reptiles, fish, hamsters, and siblings. While I've helped care for my parent's pets since I was a child, my first fur-baby is Sully, a 75lb German Shepherd/Black Lab rescue that my wife and I adopted in 2016. Since my primary work is at home, I spend more time with Sully than anyone else! I currently work a full-time job in online education, and I am also responsible for care-giving for my son at least two days per week. I plan for pet-care to be a part-time job where I travel to your home to walk and/or spend time with your pet. I am open to dog boarding if your dog ends up being a good fit and is introduced to my son and dog. I have a fenced-in yard for play, and I'm also a short walk from Woods Hollow Nature Preserve in Ballston Spa. I am out with Sully every 3-4 hours for a walk, potty-break, or to play ball.

“Emily is the first Rover sitter we've ever used and she was so great! She was patient in answering all my questions and explaining the process. My pug came back very happy and tired from her walk.”

“Nicole is an awesome dog walker and caregiver, one of the best we've ever had. She took great care of our two French bulldogs and her communication and attention to detail is superb. Really glad we found her. She is highly recommended.”

About: My name is Stuart, I am relocating to the area as I am starting a position at Albany Medical Center (AMC) in October. As I wait to begin my next chapter, nothing would make me more happy than to spend time with animals! I have always had a knack for the outdoors and have always had a soft spot for animals. I am an avid runner and am almost always be found running or hiking. I can guaranteed your dog will get the exercise and care he/she needs under my supervision. I have experience volunteering at the Lake Placid Vet as-well as volunteer experience at the Saranac Lake Animal Shelter. I have house sat /walked several dogs such as Australian shepherds, Labs, Bernie’s and Doodles in the past. If you have any additional questions please feel free to reach out to me! I just started a new position at AMC and work wonky hours so please message me to confirm availability! If I am not working at AMC, I am free on both weekdays and weekends and I’m flexible to work around schedules. I have a three-story townhouse apartment. There is fenced in dog parks within the complex for easy bathroom visits as well as prolonged paved trails right next to my apartment that go into the woods for longer walks in the evening around lunchtime and in the morning. Dog Gates secure the dog within our second floor, preventing entry to third floor bedrooms and first floor mudroom. Dogs will have eyes on them at all times when not with owner.

About: I have many years of experience working as a veterinary technician and caring for animals. I have 3 dogs of my own and 3 horses. I believe dogs are family members and allow dogs to relax in the comfort of my home. I live on a beautiful farm in saratoga and would like the opportunity to meet you and your fury family members. I work full-time from home, so I’m always home while your pet is in my care. This provides consistency, supervision, and a comfortable environment while helping minimize stress and separation anxiety. I’m able to give your pet plenty of attention and care throughout the day. I have a securely fenced yard and multiple interior safety gates that allow me to introduce new pets to my own dogs gradually and at their own pace. Safety and comfort are always my top priorities, and I take the time to ensure every pet feels secure in their environment. I have 3 dogs of my own and welcome all pets into my home, including on the furniture, so they can relax and feel like part of the family. With several years of experience as a veterinary technician, I understand the importance of attentive supervision, recognizing changes in behavior, and providing individualized, loving care for every pet.

About: I’ve had a family dog my entire life, so caring for dogs has always been a big part of my life. I also have experience watching and walking dogs for other people, including strangers’ pets, and I’m comfortable with different personalities and energy levels. I’m active, reliable, and genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs, whether that’s going on walks, playing, or just making sure they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I’m available throughout the week and have a pretty flexible schedule. While I have an internship on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, I still have plenty of time for pet care, walks, and check ins. I’m happy to work with your schedule and make sure your pets are well cared for! I’ve been around animals and loved them my whole life, so being around pets comes naturally to me. I’m patient and understand that not every animal is super outgoing or likes new people right away. I’ve had experience with pets that can be more stand offish or take time to warm up, and I’m good at being patient and letting them get comfortable at their own pace. I always want pets to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owner is away, and I’ll treat them like they’re my own.

“Kaitlyn was phenomenal and Peach loved her. She was able to step in on a very short notice while we were out of town. We really appreciate her.”

About: Hello! I have a big heart and do my best to understand animals. Some say I have an animal magnetism. I've had meaningful relationships with animals most of my life. I used to walk dogs at Saratoga County Animal Shelter. Right now I own 4 cats who were feral and each found me in their own fascinating ways. I adore the unique personalities of each of my cats. Whenever friends or family ask me to check in on their pets I always make a point of spending quality time. I keep my service radius within a 15 minute drive for myself. I am able to travel with a charge of $15 per half hour. When one of my cats (all indoor) got out by mistake, I did everything to get him back: -Made signs and posted in my neighborhood - got the help of an animal intuitive - walked the woods and my area 3x a day -posted all over facebook including Steve Caporizzo’s lost pet connection. - borrowed a motion camera I could monitor from my phone anywhere. -set up a shelter outside one of my doors with food, blankets and water. The night he came back Tommy was circling my house for an hour and crying for the 3rd night in a row. I sat on the step of the door he initially got out of, talked sweetly to him, he got closer and closer until he threw his body down to the pavement and crawled his way to me. It was amazing how he returned. I had a cat live 20 years and my oldest right now is almost 15. With this 15 year old, I’ve become exceptional with giving special attention, food, grooming and medicine. I trim my cats claws. Thank you! About me: I am a creative type. I'm a working musician, Production Assistant of a local comic book and I’m also selling my artwork. I live in Greenfield Center with 4 cats I adore. I am integrating pet sitting in my life because I love animals and it'd be an awesome way to supplement my income. I’m just signing up with Rover as of late November 2023 and excited to offer exceptional care to animals I’m looking forward to meet. I am open to becoming a regular sitter and love the idea of helping humans with their animals on a more consistent basis. I’ve worked in TV/Film/Theater/Photography Production for decades. My most recent full time job was with a CBS/CW affiliate in evening tv news. I have 15 years experience in customer service and hospitality and over 20 in administration. I live in Greenfield Center, NY with reliable transportation. Safety, trust & environment: I love connecting with the animal and their personality while following through with your instructions. I always give them enough attention to make them feel loved, exercised or entertained. I am exceptionally trustworthy, responsible and transparent. I would send you photo or video updates if you wish.

“Tracy is incredible! She is so sweet, flexible and sincerely made it happen for us on a very last minute request and was so thoughtful about sending photos and treating your animal with such care. I can't recommend her enough! My dog was able to play with other pets with her and he was tired out from a great day later. I really just felt her support the most, which meant so much. Especially in the puppy days. Thank you Tracy!”

About: I have personally had five family rescue dogs since the 1980s. The majority taken in from puppy stage up to 4 years of age. Most stayed with us through their senior years. I am retired from work and am available with a reliable vehicle equipped with pet crates for safe transportation or can travel to your home as necessary. I can care for your pet in my home on a 1-acre lot on a private road/area. Or, I can travel to your home as necessary.

About: I have tons of personal experience with my own childhood dogs as well as all dogs that I know through my friends, family friends, coworkers etc. whether your dog wants to snooze the day away or walk for miles on end and sniffing everything in sight, I’m happy to offer my time and attention for your fur baby to be 110% taken care of when you’re away. I also fully believe anyone on vacation should be able to enjoy their time away without excessive texts from a sitter—so unless you want extensive updates, I would only contact you if it was absolutely necessary/urgent. If you want daily updates, I’m happy to do so because I know I enjoy some cute pics of my cats snoozing away in the sun on days I go to the office! I work remotely and depending on your needs and distance, I am available for mid day drop ins. If given enough time to plan ahead, I can also be available to work remotely from your home to keep your pets company in your absence. I’m extremely flexible—willing to stay overnight or just do day time visits. I require a scheduled meet & greet beforehand for any service. At this time, I do not offer any services from my own home since I rent and have 4 cats of my own that would definitely not enjoy extra visitors. I’m happy to conduct any services from your home. Again, I always like to schedule a meet & greet beforehand for any service. For home stays, I also prefer 1 emergency contact that lives close by and the address/phone number for the vet your animals see. In return, I’m available for you 24/7 during the services you have trusted me with—call me or text me and you will hear from me ASAP 😁

“Mark is wonderful! He has walked our pup a few times over the last couple of weeks during long work days. We always come home to a full water bowl and a happy pup! Mark was great about a last minute schedule change and always gives an update while he is here. We will definitely use him again when we need a reliable pet sitter/walker. Thanks Mark!”

About: I don’t have specific set of skills other than the fact that I am a dog mom. My dogs are my world and my main priority. I have a lot of love to give and I think animals deserve it the most. I will make myself available to be with your pet as much as needed and wanted by the client. My pets are my world and are considered each day when it comes to giving them the best life possible. I’m 44 years old with an older son who is 28. So for people my age who normally have small children I have my 2 dogs and my 2 cats. They are my children My animals are always considered in any and all plans that I may have. They are my top priority and your animal would be no different. I am a nurturer by nature. When I was in need of dog sitter Rover provided me with someone who took care of and loved my dogs just as much as I did. It motivated me to want to be that person for other people. I will love and spoil your animal as if they were my own. Allowing you to leave them knowing they are being well taken care of. I have a fully fenced in yard and I would make any special arrangements as far as feeding, crating etc that would be needed for your animal.
