“Anastasia was so great with our dog. She has a great demeanor around him and he was immediately comfortable around her! We would highly recommend her services!”

About: I grew up with dogs and recently owned 2 rescued dogs. I have land around my home and access to a wooded area with trails for longer walks. I am comfortable with caring for dogs in any facet. I am a teacher and I am looking for summer work. I am free every day until late August. I am willing to walk your dog in your neighborhood or board a dog over night. I have a stake in my yard for when my daughter visits with her 35 lb. Dog. Previous bigger dogs were walked on a leash at all times. I usually walk my dogs 1-2x daily for up to a 1/2 hour.

“Isaiah is an amazing dog walker!! He is very friendly and super reliable! I never had to worry about my dog not being well taken care of. I can’t say I’ve felt the same with other dog walkers we have used. Goose also loves him and enjoys their walks! I would highly recommend him!”

About: I’ve had pets all my life and have raised a dog since he was a puppy. I have been a trusted pet sitter for years and tend to get along well with pets and have experience with all sizes of dogs. I work full time, but can work from home when needed. If there are any days I have to go into the office, I will be sure to let you know ahead of time. Caring for pets sometimes differs between homes. I abide by all house rules, give regular updates on pets, and am happy to give them all the love and attention they need.

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have always had a deep love for them. While I’ve primarily worked with horses and cows, I’ve also spent years around dogs and cats. We have our own rescue pup at home, and I’ve helped care for everything from small lap dogs to German Shepherds. There’s always been a family or friends dog around, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or just keeping them company, I treat every animal like they’re my own. I currently have two side jobs that I have full control over, so I’m able to be flexible and available any time of day or week to care for your pet. Whether it’s early mornings, midday check-ins, or evenings, I can adjust my schedule to meet your needs! When I’m caring for pets in their home, I do my best to stick to their normal routine so they feel safe and comfortable. I’ll follow any instructions you leave closely - whether it’s feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, or giving medications. I respect your home, keep things clean and tidy, and make sure your pets get lots of love and attention while you’re away. I know how important it is to feel confident your pets and your space are in good hands!

About: Hi, I’m Viv! I’m a stay-at-home mom to a toddler boy who absolutely adores dogs. My passion for pet care began back in 2007, and since then, I’ve had the joy of raising six dogs—two of whom required specialized care due to significant health issues such as diabetes and kidney issues. This experience has given me a deep understanding of administering medications, injections, managing special diets, and maintaining consistent routines for dogs with unique needs. My husband and I recently adopted a high-energy puppy who keeps us on our toes! We live on a spacious property with plenty of room for walks and outdoor playtime. While our yard is unfenced, we use a secure dog line to ensure our pups can enjoy the outdoors safely and freely. At this time, I’m available for boarding at my home 7 days a week, and drop in visits/walks only on Sundays. If you have any questions or want to learn more, feel free to reach out—I’d love to connect with you! Last minute requests are typically accepted and welcomed ❤️ I am currently taking on pet care full time! I am open all days and hours and can accommodate my schedule easily. I am easy to work with 😊 I’m basically home all day so I’ll be able to give your pup some extra love and care ❤️ My home is also baby proofed with gates so I have the means of separating the pups between rooms if need be, however I have no issues with them making themselves at home and cozying up on the furniture 😊

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.

“Janyl was wonderful with my dog Joy. She was always on time and left detail messages along with several pictures after each time she walked Joy. I would use Janyl again”

“Averi was very easy to work with. She is flexible and understanding. When I booked her for four-days, then had to cancel due to a change in circumstances, she immediately responded and helped process the refund. The one day that she took our dogs out for a walk, she walked them for a mile, ensured they had food and water, and she even helped mop up their accidents. When we came home to greet our dogs, they were much calmer than normal. I believe this is due to the time, attention, and care that Averi put into her duties. If we ever need a dog-walker, again, in the future, we will consider Averi first!”

About: I’ve cared for many of my own pets, more than just dogs and cats. Family and family friends have relied on me to watch their pets while on vacay. One of which is on 2 meds morning and night. With puppies I can do simple training I’m currently unemployed, so my availability is open to care for the fur babies that can’t do it all for themselves. Your furbabies routine becomes my routine My fur baby, Milo gets fresh water daily, refill food as needed, scoop litter every other day. And when it’s time to clean up after him everything gets a good wash especially the litter box because I myself cannot let that get disgusting. He gets his nails trimmed by me, and bathed from time to time

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!!

“Super! Kayla was wonderful with my 3 dogs who all have varying needs: young to old. She was very responsive, caring and my dogs felt comfortable with her on all her visits.”

About: Hi I’m Natalie! I love animals and have grown up caring for them my whole life. I’ve had a range of animal care experience from mice to sea turtles and everything in between. 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. I even have had to give my older dog medicine regularly throughout the day. I do not have a fenced in yard but I have a dog run that I will use and also have two of my own dogs to play with them.

About: I grew up in a house full of pets. And have had at least one pet of my own all of adulthood. I have helped to raise kittens from birth, and find them homes when ready. I also have experience caring for a special needs kitten. I've now been professionally pet-sitting for over two years; and before that I dog-sat for neighbors and friends. I even helped make my last place of employment pet-friendly. Pet-sitting is my main form of employment. So I would be able to devote all of my time to caring for your pet(s). I do especially well with animals with a nocturnal schedule. I am able to stay at your residence to provide around the clock care. Or I can just stop in to walk, feed, and play with the animals.

“Right on time, took them at very short notice, great with both dogs. Will definitely ask to watch my dogs again!”

About: Hi, my name is Micayla, and I love animals! I have owned dogs for 7 years, but worked with them for much longer. I currently have a super quirky Cavalier puppy named Sadie Pumpkin Waffles. We have completely obedience training, so I know how to keep control of your dog while on a leash, and how to give/reinforce basic cues. I believe we will have a lot of fun while hanging out! My schedule is quite flexible, as I currently work freelance. I can usually accommodate last minute bookings, however I do need to be home to tend to my own dog at least every 8hrs. While conducting drop-in visits, your dogs will get plenty of play time, pets, and snuggles. (And hopefully treats!) They will be let out for potty breaks, and/or taken on walks, then brought inside so that they can continue on with their day.

About: I’ve lived and taken care of dogs and cats my whole life and have had multiple temporary dog sitting jobs. Jobs including; walking, feeding, bathing, etc. I’m working part time but am free many days of the week. I’m available mostly in the afternoon and night hours. If needed, I am able to work around some mornings. I have a fenced in yard in which my dogs run freely around. My clients dogs will be well cared of under my supervision and I will listen to any instructions necessary.
