Alivia was amazing! We were in a time crunch and she jumped right in. 😁 She stayed with our furbabies four nights and kept them really happy. When we were flying home we missed our connecting flight, and Alivia offered to drive over and check on Henry, Sparkles and Beatrix. It was such a relief! ❤️ We came home to happy furbabies, and it’s all because Alivia took such great care of them. We will definitely book with her again!

Elle did a wonderful job with my big, huge baby (125 lb lab -only 2 and still thinks he’s a lap dog). She was incredibly accommodating and flexible as we asked her if she could watch my fiancé’s border collie at the last minute (coverage fell through), and she totally took it in stride. She communicated with us regularly while we were gone, exercised the dogs, was able to handle their energy and gave them tons of love and affection. You can tell that she loves dogs and they love her. I will DEFINITELY use her again and absolutely recommend her to anyone who wants someone who is trustworthy, clear on what she offers, communicates well, and sends pictures. Our dogs were happy and calm when we returned. Thanks, Elle!!! ?

Alyssa stayed at our home to watch our 12 year old German Shephered and 9 month old Belgian Malinois. We were very nervous about our Belgian as it would be the first time leaving her. Alyssa came twice to meet us and go over everything prior to the watch date. She communicated with us often and sent photos. We came home to our house in order and both of our doggies well loved. Highly recommend!!!

Destiny has been just fantastic. I needed a house sitter to watch over my 10 week old puppy as I could not travel with her. After a meet & greet that went extremely well, Destiny agreed to house sit for the three consecutive days. I could not be happier. Destiny took fantastic care of my puppy, taking her outside for potty breaks as needed, day or night. The regular updates with photos, videos and messages were reassuring and calming for me. Destiny also was so respectful of the house and left it as nice as when she first got here. I could not have been happier with a house sitter for my puppy. Thank you! I know my puppy misses her!

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: 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!!

About: Hi! We’re a loving family offering calm, attentive pet care in a peaceful home. We know how hard it is to find sitters who truly treat your pets like family — that’s what we’re here for. We’re hands-on, experienced, and genuinely care about helping your pet feel safe, relaxed, and loved. We don’t have any pets of our own (just our daughter’s goldfish 🐠) so your pet gets our full attention! What You Can Expect ✅ 1–3 photo updates per day ✅ Personalized routines ✅ Several daily walks ✅ Tons of affection (if wanted!) ✅ Low-stress, quiet home ✅ Gentle, patient settling-in process ✅ Medication administration (if needed) 🧡 Specialized Add-On Care We offer extra support for pets with higher needs (please select at booking): Anxiety Support: +$50/night Puppy Supervision: +$50/night Senior Care: +$50/night Medical/Special Needs: +$50/night ✨ Optional Add-Ons Brush-Outs: $15–$50 FaceTime Check-ins: $15 (15 min) High-Energy Playtime: $60 (1 hour) Extra Updates: $10 each Home-Cooked Meals: $25/day 🧼 Other Fees (Only If Needed) Cleaning (Excessive Accidents): $20 Per Accident Damage: Cost of repair Emergency Vet Transport: $50 + vet cost or transfer to emergency contact 📋 Drop-Off & Behavior Policy At your meet-and-greet or drop-off, we’ll ask you to sign a brief form outlining our policies. We’ve worked with pets with mild to moderate anxiety, but we cannot accept pets with severe separation anxiety or behaviors that require 24/7 supervision — those pets must be picked up immediately due to causing high-tension and stressful situations for both your pet, and our family. We do not accept pets with: 🚫 Aggression or reactivity 🚫 Destructive behavior 🚫 Ongoing house-training issues 🚫 Unsafe behavior around children 🚫 Excessive barking, howling, whining 🚫 Inability to be left alone briefly for long stays 🚫 Have owners who are unresponsive to urgent concerns 🚨 Undisclosed Behavior Fees: Severe Separation Anxiety: Immediate pickup or $250/Night Excessive Barking: Immediate pickup or $250/Night Aggression or Reactivity: Immediate pickup or $250/Night Unsafe Around Kids: Immediate pickup or $250/Night 💛 Why This Matters We’re calm, patient, and truly love caring for animals — but on rare occasions, we’ve had difficult experiences with neglectful pet owners that created unsafe or stressful situations. That’s why we’ve set clear boundaries: to protect the peaceful, loving environment we’ve built and to prioritize clients who respect their pets and us — especially with a young child in our home. These policies aren’t meant to discourage who we service at our core - amazing loving pet parents. They simply help filter out mismatches so we can focus on what we do best: giving your pet a safe, happy, and loving stay. Thank you for understanding, and supporting care rooted in honesty, trust, and love. Availability: Joshua works full time from home, and Kaitlin stays home full time so we tend to have open availability to care for your loved pets. Limitations: ❌ No aggressive animals ❌ No animals with fleas currently ❌ No animals who are not child friendly ❌ Must have proof of rabies vaccines for dogs ❌ Must regularly check dogs or cats for ticks ❌ No animals with severe anxiety (unless discussed prior)

Michelle took amazing care of our pets — Marlo, Mika, Gaia, and Mila — while we were away. She provided walking, feeding, and overnight care, and we couldn’t have asked for a more professional and attentive caregiver. From the start, Michelle was communicative and informative, keeping us updated and ensuring we felt confident that our pets were in good hands. Her calm and friendly demeanor made it clear she genuinely cared about our animals’ well-being. We came home to happy pets and a tidy home. We’re so grateful for her help and would highly recommend Michelle to anyone looking for reliable, compassionate pet care.

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!!

Alexis did a great job taking care of our furry kids. The dogs all enjoyed her company while we were gone.

About: Hi! We’re a loving family offering calm, attentive pet care in a peaceful home. We know how hard it is to find sitters who truly treat your pets like family — that’s what we’re here for. We’re hands-on, experienced, and genuinely care about helping your pet feel safe, relaxed, and loved. We don’t have any pets of our own (just our daughter’s goldfish 🐠) so your pet gets our full attention! What You Can Expect ✅ 1–3 photo updates per day ✅ Personalized routines ✅ Several daily walks ✅ Tons of affection (if wanted!) ✅ Low-stress, quiet home ✅ Gentle, patient settling-in process ✅ Medication administration (if needed) 🧡 Specialized Add-On Care We offer extra support for pets with higher needs (please select at booking): Anxiety Support: +$50/night Puppy Supervision: +$50/night Senior Care: +$50/night Medical/Special Needs: +$50/night ✨ Optional Add-Ons Brush-Outs: $15–$50 FaceTime Check-ins: $15 (15 min) High-Energy Playtime: $60 (1 hour) Extra Updates: $10 each Home-Cooked Meals: $25/day 🧼 Other Fees (Only If Needed) Cleaning (Excessive Accidents): $20 Per Accident Damage: Cost of repair Emergency Vet Transport: $50 + vet cost or transfer to emergency contact 📋 Drop-Off & Behavior Policy At your meet-and-greet or drop-off, we’ll ask you to sign a brief form outlining our policies. We’ve worked with pets with mild to moderate anxiety, but we cannot accept pets with severe separation anxiety or behaviors that require 24/7 supervision — those pets must be picked up immediately due to causing high-tension and stressful situations for both your pet, and our family. We do not accept pets with: 🚫 Aggression or reactivity 🚫 Destructive behavior 🚫 Ongoing house-training issues 🚫 Unsafe behavior around children 🚫 Excessive barking, howling, whining 🚫 Inability to be left alone briefly for long stays 🚫 Have owners who are unresponsive to urgent concerns 🚨 Undisclosed Behavior Fees: Severe Separation Anxiety: Immediate pickup or $250/Night Excessive Barking: Immediate pickup or $250/Night Aggression or Reactivity: Immediate pickup or $250/Night Unsafe Around Kids: Immediate pickup or $250/Night 💛 Why This Matters We’re calm, patient, and truly love caring for animals — but on rare occasions, we’ve had difficult experiences with neglectful pet owners that created unsafe or stressful situations. That’s why we’ve set clear boundaries: to protect the peaceful, loving environment we’ve built and to prioritize clients who respect their pets and us — especially with a young child in our home. These policies aren’t meant to discourage who we service at our core - amazing loving pet parents. They simply help filter out mismatches so we can focus on what we do best: giving your pet a safe, happy, and loving stay. Thank you for understanding, and supporting care rooted in honesty, trust, and love. Availability: Joshua works full time from home, and Kaitlin stays home full time so we tend to have open availability to care for your loved pets. Limitations: ❌ No aggressive animals ❌ No animals with fleas currently ❌ No animals who are not child friendly ❌ Must have proof of rabies vaccines for dogs ❌ Must regularly check dogs or cats for ticks ❌ No animals with severe anxiety (unless discussed prior)
