“Connelly did a great job taking care of my cat. She was able to troubleshoot when he was acting out and when there was a power outage. Would definitely re book!”

About: I’m a good dog walker and can play with them and feed them too. I’ll make sure they are treated right and feel safe around me. I’m around and free whenever possible to take care for pets for friends and family if they need it. I treat them as family and make sure they have fun too I will make sure they are on a leash when we go for walks outside of the house. Won’t leave doors open and make sure to car them if needed too.

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.

“My cats tend to ignore me for a day or two after a trip because they’re frustrated that I left in the first place. But I came home this time to two happy, cuddly cats and I know that’s because Jillian took great care of them. She was also super responsive and kind during our communication about the visits as well. We will definitely book with her again!”

About: Cats have been a favorite part of my pet-care experience for years! Through my residential cleaning business, I’ve had the opportunity to care for clients’ cats, including cats with special needs. I provide dependable drop-in visits with feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, and companionship. I can also administer medication when needed and am experienced with special care, including insulin injections. I understand that every cat has a different personality. Whether your cat is playful, shy, independent, or needs extra attention, I respect their boundaries and follow your instructions carefully. I’ll treat your home respectfully, follow your cat’s routine, and provide photo updates so you can enjoy your time away with greater peace of mind. I serve Guilderland and nearby areas, including parts of Schenectady, Rotterdam, Albany, and Niskayuna, depending on distance and availability. Evening and weekend visits are welcome! I offer cat drop-in visits on weekdays, in the evenings, and on weekends, depending on my schedule. I’m generally home by 2:30–3:00 PM most weekdays and can often accommodate afternoon and evening visits. Weekend availability is also possible with advance notice. I keep my calendar updated and will confirm visit times before accepting a booking so your cat’s care fits smoothly into their routine. I provide attentive drop-in visits tailored to your cat’s routine and personality. I’ll refresh food and water, clean the litter box, provide playtime and companionship, and administer medication when agreed upon and within my abilities. I respect your cat’s boundaries and keep their environment clean and comfortable. I’ll also send photo and video updates so you can see how your cat is doing while you’re away.

About: We have had dogs in the house since I was three years old and we were all responsible for caring for them. I’ve seen dogs through the puppy and training stage to the old age medication and care stage. My dogs were big Labradors, and I dog sat for many people with medium and small dogs at all stages of their lives. There’s not much your dog could throw at me that I wouldn’t handle with confidence and experience! I am currently attending an acting conservatory, the only days that that takes up my whole day are Thursdays and Friday's. Mondays and Tuesdays I’m free after 2, and Wednesdays I am free until 1! Weekends my schedule is wide open and I can work any time, and I am available every night of the week for overnights! With all the animals that have gone through my home growing up I know every pet is different. I follow the owners lead when it comes to how to care for them and never try to push my personal pet care habits on anyone. Everyone has a different relationship with their pet and I am here to respect and emulate that as best I can when you have to be away from your best friend! You and your pet are the boss!

“Shannon did a wonderful job taking care of our kitty! She was attentive and thoughtful in her messages to us and even took the time to come meet her beforehand. We really appreciated all of her little updates so we felt like our kitty was being taken care of.”

About: I have over 15 years of hands-on pet care experience working with a wide range of breeds, including high-energy and working line dogs. I currently own a German Shepherd, Belgian Malinois, and Husky. I’m an active hiker and runner, and love giving dogs both mental and physical enrichment. Whether your pup needs structured exercise, calm companionship, or just a fun adventure, I provide a safe, positive, and reliable environment. Your dog will be treated like family and cared for with experience and genuine love. I work full-time during the week, but I’m available Friday, Saturday, and Sunday for pet care. Whether your dog needs walks, hikes, runs, training sessions, house sitting, or boarding I’m happy to help. Weekends are when I have the most time and energy to give your pet my full attention, care, and activity. During the week depending on times requested! Your dog’s safety and comfort always come first. I can care for your pup either in your home or at mine. I have three well-trained dogs who are friendly and social—your dog is welcome to play with them if that’s something you’re comfortable with. If you prefer a quieter or individual environment, I can also crate and rotate dogs to ensure your pup has safe, stress-free time and space. I live just five minutes from a local park, which is perfect for walks, exercise, and outdoor enrichment. Whether it’s playtime, relaxed company, or structured activity, I’ll make sure your dog feels secure, stimulated, and cared for like family.

“This was our first experience using Rover. Jon showed up on time for our initial introduction meeting and helped us to better understand the process. He took fine care of our cats and kept us informed as to how they were doing and sent us pictures for each visit. We plan to hire Jon again in the near future....”

Herbert R.

“This was my first time using Rover and Lauren helped walk me through the process and put me at ease. Lauren took wonderful care of my cats. She sent me updates each visit and plenty of pictures. What particularly impressed me though was my [typically] more shy cat really came around and was curious about her. Seems like my cats were impressed, too.”

About: I've been taking care of a wide variety of animals for a long time. I have experience in all around basic boarding care for dogs, cats, and various reptiles and small animals; dog training basic obedience, fear or frustration aggression/reactivity, high drive dogs, and anxiety behaviors. Pet Care is not only an important part of my life, but it's a passion of mine. Caring for your animal like I do my own is what makes life rewarding for me. When your pet is with me it becomes a part of my family and is treated as such. I look forward to training or caring for your animals! I can train your dog in a multitude of ways. I work a lot of animals with anxiety and behavioral issues. I can easily crate your dog, cat or any other animal if needed. I have access to multiple fenced in yards for your pet to run around in and play. I have a fully trained purebred smooth collie who is extremely gentle and can make friends with anything. I have multiple rooms and spaces in order to accommodate your fur baby's needs. I pay attention to detail and carry out all care with the highest level of standards I can.

“Caitlynn is the absolute best. I have 3 crazy pitbulls and she handles them beautifully. They are not easy dogs to keep safe, but Caitlynn makes it look effortless. It’s been years since my husband and I have been able to travel, but now that we have Caitlynn in our lives there are many things that we can look forward to knowing we can count on her. She stayed for over 2 hours getting to know us, our home, and furbabies before we had her over. She really made sure we were all comfortable and we are so grateful for that. We love Caitlynn and can’t wait to have her back💖”

About: I’ve been caring for pets informally for my entire life and professionally starting 12 years ago. I care for each pet like they are my own. I am sensitive to their energy and needs. I am able to work with animals who have unique social/emotional and medical needs. I mainly work with dogs and cats but am also experienced in caring for small animals like rabbits, birds, reptiles and fish. I’m currently working part-time, and my schedule varies a bit week to week. I am free mornings and evenings, most Thursdays, as well as Mondays after 2 pm. I usually work shifts under 8 hours, so with good communication I would be thrilled to come up with a plan that will suit you and your pet(s). For now, I am able to care for and board cats and small animals in my home. In the summer, I can board dogs in my fenced in yard. For dogs and larger animals, I can take them for walks and pet sit by traveling to your home. I look forward to meeting you and your pet(s)! I have managed to ensure my pet rabbit feels safe while also living with a rambunctious one-year-old labrador retriever. I am always cautious about my pets and my clients’ pet’s whereabouts. I’ve helped return missing neighborhood cats and dogs to their owners as well as assist with unexpected visits to the vet.
