Anna watched our dogs in our home for a long weekend. She sent lots of updates with photos and our pups seemed happy to have her caring for them. Even our most shy and apprehensive dog warmed up to Anna quickly!

We are extremely happy with our experience with Deborah. She stayed with our pup for 10 days during heavy snow, ice and cold. Stayed in touch with us and sent pictures daily. We will definitely ask her to watch our pup and house again!

We got home and our dog was happy to see us, but she was so calm. She was clearly so comfortable with Skylar. Skylar left our house clean. She is great! We will use her again.

Mark is fantastic! We used him as a sitter for our pups over a holiday weekend and not only did they love him, but we did too. Mark's love for dogs is clear so it made trusting him with our fluffy kids much easier. We definitely plan on using Mark again in the future. Thank you sir!

Renee did overnight stays with my baby and did a fantastic job! She sent frequent updates, including pictures, and he looked so happy. She spoiled him with lots of belly rubs, which are his favorite, so they were instant besties. We got back into town later in the day, and Renee kindly offered to swing back by and hang out with him a little longer so he wasn’t by himself so long. We will definitely use her again.

About: I bring a unique level of structure, energy, and reliability to pet care through my experience as a college coach. My daily work revolves around building routines, paying attention to small details, and making sure individuals are supported and performing at their best — and I carry that same approach into caring for dogs. I am highly dependable and organized, so you can trust that your dog’s schedule, feeding routine, and exercise needs will be handled consistently. I also bring an active lifestyle, which is great for dogs that need engaging walks, playtime, and attention. What sets me apart is the level of care and awareness I provide. I pay close attention to behavior, energy levels, and any changes, and I prioritize clear communication so you always feel confident while you are away. My goal is to make sure your dog feels comfortable, safe, and well cared for at all times My schedule is currently wide open following the end of the swim season, which gives me plenty of flexibility for walks, drop-ins, and overnight care throughout the week and weekends. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your dog. I create a safe, comfortable environment where your pet feels secure and cared for at all times. I pay close attention to their needs, keep a watchful eye during walks, and always make sure you are updated so you can relax knowing they are in good hands.

About: ive had a couple of dog growing up in my childhood a sweet old black lab and a super crazy dingo.. in my free time after school and during summer i used to walk them, no amount of walking could satisfy my dingo.. id have her pull my bike to get all her energy out since we didnt have any closed in areas she could run off in.. ( i dont do this anymore! i realize its not very safe! she absolutely loved it for sure though) i love pups big and small old and energetic theyre all very unique and id love some new friends to get me out of the house. id ask you beforehand of course if youd be okay with them swimming, theres a pond i can bring them to after walking to cool off at. our backyard is fenced! i have two cats, so id like to know how your dog reacts around small creatures, if they cant be in contact i can always but them into a room while the dog is over. most likely theyd be outside! lots of shade and id keep em well hydrated and happy :3 i currently have been on a job hunt since what feels like forever, my schedule is very. very open.. since i dont have a car, drop off would be ideal, if your close enough to walk to i can do that too! weekends are the only time id be able to pick up your pooch my cats get their waters filled and cleaned almost daily, lots of love of course and are very spoiled. i dont have any dogs at the moment, so of course id love to chat about what youd expect and need for your lovely pup! im good with communication and friendly, special needs id be extra attentive to. im very good at remembering small things, though id still write em down incase!

Ari was amazing. Our dog is a precious shelter dog and has some of the shelter dog nuisances and Ari understood exactly how to deal with him. I could tell he had a good time when we got home.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who grew up around many different types of pets, most common were cats and dogs. I currently have two cats and one friendly dog of my own. I work 7:30-4 in Clifton Park during the week and can stop by before or after work for walks, feeding, and check-ins. I’m also available for overnight stays to keep your pets company in their own home. On weekends I’m more flexible—your pet can stay with me and join us for hikes and walks, or I can stay at your home if they prefer their own space or aren’t dog-friendly. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away! I don’t have a fenced in yard but I have 6 acres of land and walk my own dog regularl, often taking long walks down the road or around the property

About: I have had dogs all my life and have taken care of my own since I am old enough now. I watch dogs and cats for my neighbors and grandparents. I like spending time outdoors with my dogs and walking them and throwing the ball. I have cat sit before and was really easy and fun to me! My schedule is kind of wonky right now as I am in college, but I am free on weekends and some weekdays whenever you might need me! My dog takes meds right now for seizures so I am experienced at giving dogs medicine. Very responsible animal lover I have always had animals in my life. I am good about having the house clean when there’s a fluffy shedding dog in it.
