House Sitting Ogdensburg

“I couldn’t be more pleased with the care our dogs received this weekend! They were so happy and relaxed when we got home, which says everything. The house was absolutely spotless, and I really appreciated the thoughtful balance of photo updates. It was just enough to stay connected without feeling inundated. To top it all off, I came home to a lovely handwritten note that was such a sweet surprise. Truly above and beyond!”

About: I’ve had multiple dogs in my home since I was very young. From hunting dogs to small dogs I’ve always loved caring and spending time with them. I’m available weekdays and most weekends. I’m a sports writer working from home. My girlfriend also works from home so there will be two caring people to give your pet the love and attention they deserve. I do not have a yard but live in a spacious apartment that is on the first floor. There is plenty of space in the apartment complex for your dog to be walked. There are no other pets in the apartment. I don’t take more than one dog at a time because I like think each dog/owner should have my 100% attention.

“Kimberly was wonderful with our two pups Teddi and Bear! She was so knowledgeable with our 9 week old puppy. She updated us very frequently and was very professional. Thank you so much!”

About: ​Every dog has their own rhythm and quirks, and understanding those details is what matters most. I offer dependable, attentive sitting tailored to their regular routine, ensuring they feel secure, comfortable, and thoroughly loved in their environment. ​With a flexible schedule, pet care is my central focus throughout the day. I have open availability for daytime walks, mid-day drop-ins, and overnight stays, ensuring your pet receives steady companionship, structured routines, and plenty of focused attention. Safety always comes first. I adhere strictly to leashing protocols, double-check secure gates, and follow feeding or medication instructions to the letter. In your home, I keep spaces clean and calm, treating your environment with total care and respect.

“Christine was great watching our dog, Ozzy! Ozzy can have stranger danger and Christine did a great job managing this. He was so well taken care of and so was our apartment. I highly recommend Christine.”

“10/10 would recommend! Jessica and Guillermo were so amazing at taking care of Zip. Zip is a reactive dog and we were quite anxious leaving him with a sitter for the first time. Jessica made us feel so comfortable for the entire week she stayed with Zip. She was communicative and sent lots of pictures that made us know he was in great care. She respected all the instructions we gave for taking Zip on walks and was very comforting knowing we were a little nervous to leave him. We had some travel delays getting home and Jessica made accommodation to stay extra time so we didn’t have to worry about Zip. Jessica and Guillermo stayed at our apartment for the week as well and were incredible guest. They were clean and gracious and even cleaned up before leaving. Safe to say Zip has new best friends and we will absolutely be booking again!”

About: I have been a veterinary technician for the last 19 years. I have spent the majority of that time working at a small animal practice, but also worked at an emergency and specialty practice for 4 years during that time as well. During my career, I have dealt with numerous c-sections, geriatric, diabetic, and renal patients. Meaning that, injections, SQ fluid, oral meds, etc, are not a problem.. I have also done pet sitting on the side for many years during this time as well. I have always had a love for animals. I currently own a 9 year old mixed breed dog, as well as a cat, and chinchilla. I have had many pocket pets over the years as well. I currently work full time, overnights only, on the front end of the week. I plan accordingly, to make sure the pets needs are met before and after work shift, and spoil them extra on the days I’m off. I adjust to whatever needs the pet requires, and make our schedules work in sync so that there are no issues with bathroom breaks, or feeding/medications.

“I highly recommend Brenda & Francis! Our dogs took to them right away! That says a lot because one of our dogs can be a bit temperamental when you first meet him, however, he was seemingly happy and comfortable! What a relief! Thank you Brenda & Francis!”

“David makes our dogs feel safe and loved. They run to him as soon as they see him. He followed all our specific instructions and was very conscientious. He snuggled with them and played with them. We really appreciated how positive he was about staying with Belle and Rory. We would definitely use David again!”

“Madelyn took care of my 14-year old Siberian Husky, Kodiak, who has arthritis. She house-sat him while we were away on vacation for 12 days. She was wonderful with him, taking him on frequent short walks during the day. When we got home, we found a very neat house and a very happy (and tired!) dog. I would absolutely hire her again.”

About: My love for animals began at a very young age. At the young age of 3, I began riding horses and competing, under the training of my mom. Horses were my entire life and I learned all that I could at a young age. I was handling these 1200+ pound animals by myself and doing all I could with them! In 2016, we moved to a farm where we were able to keep our horses and it also had a dog kennel which was always filled with dogs. From then I started watching how things were run and I got to help handle many different breeds and sizes. As I got older I started to do more for the kennel and got to watch/help administer medication to the older pups. Every morning, before school and before bed, I would go down to the kennel and check on the dogs, refill waters, and give treats! We also had goats, sheep, alpacas, cows, peacocks, chickens, ducks, pigs, and so much more on the farm. I was able to help raise babies and care for all of the animals. It was so amazing to work with all these different animals for years and learn all I could about them! I would go out every morning before school and after school to move the animals from the barn to their paddocks outside. It was my favorite way to start the day. In September 2019, My mom brought home two 8 week old puppies Cinnamon & Pumpkin. They are Toy Australian Shepherds, who are extremely energetic and very strong considering they are small. I started walking them 3 times a day and loved it. Not only was it great exercise for both of us, but I noticed such a difference in their demeanor. From then on, I wanted to do all I could with dogs. In 2020, I started helping a close friend of mine, Alexis, who owns a pet care business (Alexis’s Home Pet Care). I would go on walks with her daily and help as much as possible. She taught me so much about the dog walking side of the business because as we know, it’s not always as easy as it seems. I helped work with the easier dogs and then the reactive dogs as well. Dogs are all different and they all can be triggered by different things, whether it be other dogs passing by, humans, etc. For almost two years, I did all I could to learn everything possible with a great mentor behind me. In March 2022, I felt ready to venture off on my own and I began Devon’s Pet Care. I started with just very few walks a week, and then started to really learn more and started caring for pets overnight. It’s such an amazing feeling to be able to grow with these fur babies. Eventually, my business took off and I felt so happy and accomplished because this was my dream job. I have had the opportunity to work with some very amazing pets and I even have had the chance to have some human-aggressive dogs trust me. Although I have my business, I still work with Alexis, and as she got more into boarding, I am able to help her when she needs it. She is always there to give me advice when needed, as well I am even able to give her advice now. In May of 2023, I looked more into pet boarding and I ended up being able to set up a great kennel-free environment for dogs. It seemed people wanted to stop using “kennel facilities” as the dogs don’t get out as much as they are typically used to. I am so lucky to get the chance to care for amazing dogs and work with some amazing families to make sure their fur babies get the correct care. I now have 30 horses and compete nationally with them as well as being able to raise foals. I helped my mom raise over 10 foals this past season and some were bottle-fed to help get a little start prior to them figuring out how to nurse. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my new puppy, Gemma as well as riding my my horses and spending time with them. I also recently joined my local fire department as a volunteer firefighter. I love being able to help the community! This journey has been amazing, and I am so excited for the future in this field! I do this full time, so your pups will always have the attention they deserve when you are unable to be there for them. I take pride in the care I offer to all pets! Dogs who don’t have a fenced yard will go for at least 3 walks per day with overnight stays, dogs who have a fenced yard will go for at least 1 walk a day during an overnight stay, or drop in visits. Our boarding dogs participate in our doggy day care program, and all dogs will be grouped according to size, for safety!

“Jamie is awesome. We have worked together a couple times and she is super reliable, and so kind to our pets. It's great to have such a great petsitter!”

“Ivy was very good with our senior dog Jack. She followed his care instructions carefully and updated me through the overnight stay with pictures and texts. She was very responsive to our texts during her stay and maintained communication. She is very polite and was respectful of our home and more importantly, very responsible in caring for our dog’s needs. She even walked Jack through the pouring rain! I would definitely recommend her to anyone in need of a dependable pet sitter!”

I’ve house sitter before from young dogs to senior dogs, as well as kittens to adult cats. I’ve taken care of neighbors companion friends before and they’ve always trusted me with making sure their dogs were well taken care of and happy.

If they have a back yard I can have them go outside and play or if they prefer walks or even both. It is depends on what the client wants.

“Katie was the absolute best. She went above and beyond for her stay with my high energy pup, taking him on three 2+ mile walks over the course of her stay. She was extremely thorough and detail-oriented, executing each request and keeping our dog on schedule as much as possible. Sending a bunch of pictures and detailed recaps for each visit/walk. We would absolutely love to have Katie watch our dog again!”

About: Hi! I’m Yunhan and I also go by Riley. I am certified by the American Red Cross in cat and dog first aid, and I have experience administering oral, optical, and topical medications to pets. I’m a lifelong animal lover and proud owner of three cats, so I understand that every pet has their own unique personality and comfort level. I’m attentive to the little things and always prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness. I can provide morning, midday, and evening visits, administer meals or medications, clean litter boxes, and spend quality time playing with or comforting your fur babies. My remote work also makes it easy to accommodate last-minute check-ins or longer visits. Caring for my own three cats has given me hands-on experience with a wide range of personalities and needs. Every day I make sure they have fresh food and water, keep their litter boxes clean, monitor their health and behavior, and spend time playing and giving them attention. I’m comfortable recognizing when something seems off, whether it’s changes in appetite, energy, or litter box habits. Since each of my cats has a different personality, I’ve learned to adapt my care to what makes each one feel safe, comfortable, and happy.

“Ava was absolutely wonderful with our pup, Lola! She kept communication open throughout our time away and provided frequent updates, which gave us so much peace of mind. She treated Lola like she was her own, making sure she was well cared for, exercised, and loved. We felt completely comfortable leaving both our home and our pup in Ava's care. We will definitely be booking with her again for future vacations or anytime we need to be away. We highly recommend Ava to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable pet sitter!”
