“We were very pleased with Meghanne’s service! She stopped in on the schedule she agreed to and went out her way to try to make the cats comfortable with her. She sent some cute pictures and a thorough update after each visit. We would definitely use her again!”
“Adriana was amazing! She made me feel so comfortable leaving my kitty for the first time. She provided detailed information and pictures after each visit. I highly recommend her and will definitely be booking again!”
“Janyl went above and beyond to provide amazing care to my two cats while I was away for two weeks. I was nervous to leave them for this amount of time especially because one is elderly and has some health issues. Janyl immediately put me at ease during our initial meet and greet. She was very thorough, asked great questions, and was clearly very knowledgable. Janyl had great intuition when it came to the cats' temperaments. She checked in with me daily, sent lots of pictures, and gave me a detailed run down of what she and the cats did each day. She even clipped their nails during her visit and vacuumed. My home was neat and tidy when I returned from a long travel day (so nice). The cats seemed to be very comfortable with her and I was able to enjoy my time away knowing they were in such good hands. Thank you, Janyl!”
About: I’ve had dogs and taken care of dogs majority of my life. From miniature poodle to German Shepard. I treat our furry friends like family. I currently am a registered nurse who works nights shift. My schedule is all over the place at times but I do get it about a month in advance. I’m part time which means 64 hours bi-weekly I don’t force the pets to like me. I let them come to me otherwise I believe it can be traumatic. I do tend to have treats to gain their trust.
“Lisette was excellent in caring for my furocios cat. She kept me up to date when she was hanging out with him and sent sent photos of him at every visit. Will definitely use her services again!!!”
About: I've been around animals my whole life and can't imagine it any other way! I've always had cats and dogs and care for them with so much love. I grew up with corgis and have experience with dogs of all sizes and personalities. Right now, I have two cats, a long-haired dachshund, and a Jack Russel-Chihuahua mix who keep life interesting! I've also cared for guinea pigs, a mouse, a bearded dragon, macaws, and lived with a pet snake growing up. Whether it's a kitten or a senior pup, I truly enjoy spending time with animals and giving them the same love and comfort they give us. I would love to be a friendly face your pet can feel safe with while you're away! I currently have open availability and a very flexible schedule. I'm seeking full-time work, so right now I'm available any day of the week, including evenings and weekends. Your pet's safety is my top priority, in-home or out on a walk! I will follow any care instructions you provide and keep you updated as often as you'd like so you always feel confident they're in good hands.
About: Hi there! My name is Ali and I am here to check in on your loved one while you're out, take them for a walk, provide a safe space at my home if you are away, and more! At this time, I am available in the evenings and weekends, as I do work full time. I have a lifetime of experience with animals, both dogs and cats, and love meeting new animals. Whether your dog needs a walk, some snuggles, or just someone to keep them out of trouble, I'm happy to help! I have experience giving daily oral medication to both cats and dogs, and have cared for several senior pets. I look forward to hearing from you about how I can provide excellent care for your dog (or cat!). Thank you! I am currently available on evenings and weekends, and would be happy to discuss boarding in my home if you are away for any period of time. In your home, I will provide services for your pet while respecting your space and home. For any boarding at my home, please know that I have two children who are extremely respectful to animals and will treat your dog as their own.

I currently have two dogs and two cats and a betta fish. I have experience with large dogs like my Saint Bernard boxer mix and small dogs like my frenchie. I’ve also had experience caring for an elderly dog the past feed years administering medication frequently and cleaning her ears. I also volunteered for three years at an animal clinic where I also interned granting me more animal care qualities! I usually let my dogs out in the mornings for breakfast and feed them and then again at night. I also have given them baths and groomed them regularly.

About: Volunteering at shelters and owning an array of pets throughout my life helps me understand fully how to care for a creature. I've never turned away an animal and have worked with nursing birds, rodents, bunnies, and kittens back to health after rescuing them. I also love working with exotic pets like amphibians or reptiles, but mainly I board and walk dogs! I'm very good at reading body language and training stubborn dogs, and working with animals full time would be a dream career. Right now I'm studying premedicine / ecology at UA and taking care of animals over the summers to save money for school! Going to Albany on the 24th! Until then I can board, but afterwards I'm switching my location and removing boarding from my services as I'll be on campus. Large yard with electric fence and 2 extra collars for a medium dog. Home with 3 accessible stories, dog food, treats, litter box, toys and plenty of enrichment. Dog beds and human beds for sleeping, large safe neighborhood for walks!!

Ashley P.
“I have known Ashley for a long time and know she has grown up her entire life caring for animals. I have watched her treat animals properly and respectfully giving them the exact care that they need. She is very patient with any animal and is willing to do anything to protect any animal even if it is not her own. She also has history of introducing new animals to one another in the same household showing her patience and willingness to work with animals, especially if said animals need time to get along with one another. I greatly recommend Ashley as a pet caregiver.”

Ali M.
“It is with great pleasure that I write this testimonial about Ali Manning. She is the most compassionate, kindhearted, and genuine person I know.

I have known Ali for over 5 years now and puts in a motivated effort for every pet that crosses her path. Highly recommend!”

Christina F.
“Responsive, caring, considerate, and professional are four words that come to mind immediately when I reflect on Christina's care for our animals. A little background about my family, we live on a farm with many horses, cattle, dogs, chickens, rabbits, etc. you name it we probably have it. Well we had a family emergency and had to leave for a few days. In case you didn't know - when living on a farm it is EXTREMELY hard to find someone that is willing to take on the challenge of looking after the livestock while we you are away. Christina was not only up for the challenge but did so with such grace and professionalism that we have never felt so grateful. Since the first encounter my family has been able to enjoy vacations and other simpilities of life now that we know we have someone reliable in our corner.”
