“Emily was phenomenal and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! She watched Ozzy for 10 days and provided daily picture updates. We could tell from the pictures how much fun Ozzy was having. The place was spotless when we came home, and we (especially Ozzy) can’t wait to have her sit again! Thank you for everything, Emily!”


“Nyasia took the time to meet my pups and find out every detail of how to keep them comfortable and happy while I was away. She provided regular updates with pictures, and left my place absolutely sparkling. 100% will use her again! So grateful that my doggos were in such good hands while I was away.”


“Jenna and Aiden were absolutely a dream! My dogs were well cared for. We came home to happy healthy dogs and a house in better shape than when we left. They absolutely went above and beyond. They gave us updates on the dogs with pictures. We will be using them again!”


“Heather was amazing!! She took such good care of Mac, left our home in great condition and communicated proactively. Also, we were so appreciative that she provided care for the weekend short notice (less than 24 hrs). Highly recommend.”


“THE BEST! Amanda was so sweet to my babies and left my home in pristine condition!! I am definitely a repeat customer. Plenty of love and pics sent throughout my week away!! THANK YOU!!”

“Natasha stayed with our dog and two cats over a weekend. Since this was our first time working with her, she was kind enough to setup a meet and greet ahead of time. Everything went very smoothly and we look forward to having her stay with our pets again.”


“Allie was wonderful! We had her do house sitting while away for a week. She was tidy in the house and so responsive to any communications. Dependable and trust worthy. She took great care of the pups and spent a lot of time with them. Would definitely hire her again and recommend her to anyone looking!”


“Sydney was just wonderful with my pup! She stayed the night with him and gave me great, detailed updates and videos… made sure he was well cared for and got plenty of attention while I was gone. I would not hesitate to hire her again,”


About: I grew up always having a dog. I know how special they can be and the attention they deserve. I'm always happy to help pups get the best care possible. I have many free days to devote to pets. I am available on short notice and always happy to help out to make things easier on your animals. I have experience with dogs that roam the house as well as crate training. I also know how to handle an invisible fence versus a solid one as well as leads.

“Sandi was wonderful with my two mixed bulldogs and was a pleasure to talk to. I felt like my boys were in very capable and good hands with her! She was good with picture updates and if she had a question she asked. Just a true pleasure!”


“Katrina is courteous, punctual and reliable. She was a great dog sitter and took great care of our sweet senior dog exactly according to our requests and sent updates and pictures regularly. We highly recommend her and will use her again whenever the need arises. Thank you, Katrina!”


About: Hi! Huge animal lover and have looked after dogs for years, I owned a dog growing up for 12 years and I looked after several dogs in the neighborhood to walk feed and play with them during the days in high school. I also have experience with overnight care and extended stays. This is my current full time job, I have all the time in the world to take care of your fur baby! I’m incredibly active and a runner, some clients enjoy me running with their dogs as well. Rover is my currently my full time job, I do travel occasionally but my calendar is always fully up to date. I am currently looking for my next part time job, but I work remote! I’m very hands on with the dogs when I’m staying at my clients homes. When leaving the home I try to leave a light and maybe some music, making sure there’s not anything laying around. I take the dogs out frequently as well!

About: I have had the opportunity to care for young puppies and elderly dogs over the last three years. Both ends of the spectrum require different levels of care, but more importantly, it requires love and patience. I am able to go for as many walks as needed, administer pain and behavioral medications, or just snuggle on the couch. I would be able to stop by during my lunch break around 1PM, and then after 5PM. All animals are on different schedules, but my flexibility hopefully will mesh with yours! I would first like to meet your animal before officially becoming their sitter. I want them to become acclimated with me and see if we would respond well to each other, especially with me entering into their home. For dogs, I can administer medications, go on walks, observe back yard play (if applicable) and provide them with all the food and treats they’re allowed. For cats, I can scoop and deeply clean litter, brush and maintain their fur if needed, and again, provide all the food and treats! Both also deserve some indoor play time as well, so more then happy to participate in play time

About: I have worked with seniors of varying ability levels. I have worked with many different kinds of animals in all sizes. I have worked with dogs, cats, pigs, chickens ducks, and many other kinds of livestock. I work a 9-5 in Albany which allows for me to take a long lunch break to care for pets as well as weekends free. I have dogs myself so we have all necessary medical information as ability to care for pets of all sizes. i also have a fenced in yard and all necessary toys and equipment.

About: I have experience caring for many types of pets and through their many circumstances from puppyhood, elderly, disabled pets, pets in heat or through pregnancy, special needs, and more. I have a roommate and between the both of us someone is home 90% of the time. In the mornings, Im often taking hikes and walks and would love to bring your puppy along. I’m in walking-distance of two large parks. I also have cameras on the outside as well as the inside of my home. If a car ride is needed, I have a seat belt designed to connect to your pets collar or harness!
