About: I have always enjoyed taking care of animals. Rover has been a great experience over the past few years. I am responsible, reliable and flexible. I have experience with administering most medications. We will take great care of your pet while having fun doing it. Home full-time, with a very flexible schedule, including weekends. I have a large property on a very quiet road. Plenty of room for long walks and exploring. If your dog is a swimmer, I have a pond they can swim in. Bear, our shepherd/husky mix is very friendly and playful. He loves to meet new friends to play with. Hope to meet you and your pet very soon. Thank you. I am home full-time, so I have plenty of time to give your pups the attention they deserve. Lots of potty breaks and play time. Bear loves to play, so exercise is no issue either. We are available 7 days a week for boarding. We will treat your dog like our own. We are flexible, every dog is a little different. So, we can do whatever is needed to make your dog feel at home. We have gates in the house if dogs need some alone time or we can easily crate your dog, if that’s what they are comfortable with.

About: I don’t just love animals, I have been around them since the day I was born. I have had cats, dogs, birds, and small rodents since I was born. I have taken care of these animals from a very young age and believe I have a natural understanding of pets and their behaviors! I currently work full time at a middle school in Albany where my hours are 8 AM to 3 PM. Otherwise, I am usually free and have more availability on weekends, during school breaks and over the summer. I currently am a cat mom and keep all of my cats indoors. When I owned dogs and other animals in the past, I make sure to tend to their unique needs whether that mean adhering to a medication regimen or putting them in their cage/crate as needed.

“Gillian is a dream! She was an instant hit with our pups and meeting her prior to the day the dogs needed her care put us at ease as her warm and welcoming personality instantly confirmed for us that she would take good care of our dogs. Her availability is awesome and she was even able to help us with a very last minute request. Rest-assured, your beloved pets will be in great hands with Gillian 🩷”

“Jonathan R. has been a totally responsible dog walker, and I can’t recommend him highly enough to you! He is professional and knows so much about the different breeds, and, most importantly, dogs like him! He arrived on time and kept me updated on my dog’s progress. He easily accepted the changes I requested in our schedule. Please seriously consider hiring Jonathan!”

“Our dog has special medical needs so we can’t trust just anyone with her care. Rachelle made us feel comfortable right away and our dog loved her. We will definitely be using her when I go back to work in the office.”

About: I’ve been caring for animals for many years, both as a sitter for family and friends and as a devoted pet parent myself. Currently, I have 2 shelter cats and 1 German Shepherd that I raised from puppyhood. In the past, I’ve cared for a variety of pets including snakes, a gecko and even a tarantula so I’m comfortable with critters of all kinds! I bring patience, compassion, and reliability to every pet I look after. I also have some experience administering oral medication to cats and dogs and am willing to learn and assist with your pet’s needs. In addition, I can provide transportation to vet appointments as part of drop-in visit scheduling, making it easier to keep your pets healthy and cared for. Whether furry, scaly, feathered, or eight-legged, I’d love to provide attentive care when you need it most. I work 4 days a week, Monday - Thursday. I am available full-time Thursday after 5, Friday, Saturday, Sunday and for extended periods most holidays. During the week, I am available after 5 for drop-in visits. When caring for pets in my home or yours, I prioritize creating a safe and stress-free environment. I follow each pet’s routine closely so they feel secure and comfortable. I keep living spaces clean, hazard-free, and stocked with fresh water, and I always supervise outdoor time to ensure safety. Trust is at the heart of my care. I treat every animal as if they were my own and communicate with pet parents, providing updates and photos so you can feel confident while you’re away. I ask that you let me know about any special needs or if your pets don’t get along with others so I can provide separate care to ensure everyone stays safe and happy.

About: First time clients can use the promo code below for a discount on your first booking. DAWNA60239 My profile: https://www.rover.com/sit/dawna60239 I have taken care of dogs since I was in my early teens. In addition, through the years, I have also been a pet parent to a horse, guinea pigs, hermit crabs, tropical fish, goldfish, and hamsters. Family and friends routinely ask me for pet care advice since I have had pets for so many years and trained my own puppies through self teaching. I also have experience administering medications. I care for my own four dogs on a daily basis ranging in age from 3 to 17 and have raised them from puppies. We have play time and snuggle time at different times each day. There is plenty of extra time and love each day to care for your fur baby too. I have a fenced yard on just under 1/2 acre, and my four dogs love to romp and play which is part of their daily routine. They also love long walks or going for a car ride. They are all crate trained and feel that their crate is their special place, so the doors are always open for them to have their alone/rest time when they want to after play time (if they are not trying to claim a spot on the couch or in the recliner). One especially likes the couch and the others love to sleep in bed at night.

“Excellent caretaker!!! Our dogs loved Kathryn! Highly recommend! She was kind, helpful, and follows instructions really well. You will feel at ease booking Kathryn to care for your pets!!! The best!”

About: I have 5+ years experience of pet and house sitting for various breeds. Because of my flexible schedule I am always able to give your pets the one on one attention they deserve. Ideally, I am looking for someone who needs afternoon walks for their pet on a daily basis. On a personal level, I have been a pet owner for my entire life and understand how they can enrich our lives. I currently have 2 cute cats that love playing together on their pet apartment and with their toys. I am excited for the opportunity to get to know and care for your pets. Currently My fee reflects local clients only and will vary depending on your location. I am currently pet and house sitting part time with 3 repeat clients, and am looking to add more. My availability is flexible so don't hesitate to inquire. When caring for your pets I am happy to adhere to you and your pets specific needs, ie. Feeding schedule, playing, crating, etc. Rest assured your residence will be safe under my care.

About: Positive reinforcement and teaching go a long way. Where pet love comes alive and the fun doesn’t never ends. Teaching essentials to a successful bond with your pet from the heart. I am currently a full time student with ample free time to care for your fur babies. As someone who work long hours myself I find it crucial that pets stick to a routine (feeding, training , walks etc). I have a beautiful friendly fur baby at home to keep your pets company. Extra crates, bowls etc if needed. I have a small yard without a fence. I take my dog for walks twice day. As well sometimes caring for my friends or neighbors pets.

“Lianna was wonderful! I knew my fur baby was being well taken care of. She knew I was anxious leaving my baby so she sent me multiple pictures of every outing so I could see how Tessie was? She was prompt, fed Tessie and made sure she took her medicine everyday for her chronic condition. I highly recommend Lianna if you are in need of pet sitter/walker. I have already booked her again for my next out of town trip when I cannot take my baby.”
