About: I have experience caring for both dogs and cats, fueled by a lifelong passion for animals. Growing up around pets, I understand their unique needs and personalities. Currently, I have four animals two dogs and two cats that I adore and couldn't imagine life without. Caring for my own pets has deepened my understanding and love for animals even further. What sets me apart is my genuine love for all animals and my dedication to their well being. I tailor my care to meet each pet’s specific needs, creating a trusting, loving environment where they feel safe and happy. I am committed to giving your pets the best care possible. I am generally available at all times to accommodate your pet care needs. Summer tends to be my busiest season, as I work part time for a friend, but I am flexible and willing to adjust my schedule to ensure your pets are well cared for. As a stay at home wife, I have plenty of time and attention to devote to your pets. Additionally, I have easy access to Fort Drum, which allows me to accommodate walks or visits in that area if needed. My goal is to provide consistent, reliable care that fits smoothly into your routine. When caring for pets in my home, I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable, and social environment. With four animals of my own, I ensure that all pets are introduced gradually and that everyone is socialized to promote a positive and harmonious atmosphere. I closely monitor interactions to keep everyone safe and relaxed. I do have a fenced in area for play and exercise, but if walks are needed, I am happy to take your pets out for walks to provide them with additional exercise and mental stimulation. For care in the client's home, I believe in building trust and familiarity first. I would love to do a meet and greet beforehand so we can introduce myself to your pets, ensure they recognize me, and assess their individual needs and comfort levels. This helps create a seamless transition and ensures your pets feel secure and loved while in my care. My top priority is always their safety, trust, and overall well being, whether in my home or yours.

“Angela is seriously the best. She goes above and beyond for us every time we book her!! This time when we went away, she was available for us last minute for a family funeral and she even helped out with our foster kitten who is only 6 weeks old. We are so lucky that we have her as a sitter!”

“Jasmine took amazing care of my cat Deadpool! She was super sweet, followed all the care instructions I provided, and sent me great update photos throughout. Communication was quick and easy, and I felt totally at ease knowing he was in good hands. I’d definitely recommend her to anyone needing a trustworthy and caring sitter!”


“You could not ask for a better person to take care of your pets while you are away! We hope that Eliza is available when we are ready to travel. It takes a huge burden off of us to know that they are in good hands!”


“Debbie was absolutely amazing! At our meet and greet, my cat, who usually is a little shy, walked right up to Debbie and sniffed her. While Debbie watched her, we got lots of pictures of her which we looked forward to everyday! My cat was fed each day, the litter was cleaned really really well, and she was played with. I will 100% be contacting Debbie first whenever I need a cat sitter!”


“By far the best petsitter we’ve ever had. Updates, photos, checking were all very much appreciated, and going above and beyond with small clean ups that she didn’t have to do, and calling with concerns. Thank you so much for caring for Simon.”


About: I have had dogs since I was 6 years old but as an adult I’ve had my own for the last five years. I have a one and a half year old Labrador Retriever and a Six year old German Shepard Malinois mix. I make sure to take my dogs for walks at least once a day and we also go for weekly adventures. To me having dogs brings a whole new level of companionship to life. They are my whole world and having the opportunity to care for other peoples furry friends would be something that is so special to me! I currently am self employed so most of my day is spent at home working on my laptop! If your pupper follows a certain schedule I would be more than happy to make sure it is followed. I think it is extremely to maintain a pets routine! For my dogs we get up everyday around 7 and then I let take them outside to go potty, following that we eat breakfast, go for a walk, and then about every 2/3 hours I take them potty, then at night they eat dinner at 5:30, followed by either another walk. If there is a routine that your pet has I would be more than happy to make sure it is followed!

About: I have owned dogs my whole life. I am very active and love to go on hikes with my dogs. I love on base so I can go walk or let out your pets. Please don’t hesitate to reach out and inquire about different services. I can adjust as needed. I do work full time but I have a roommate that works from home that will also tend to your pets. I typically take care of my dogs after work as soon as I get home. And a little bit before work. But during the weekends I am free. The dogs will always be monitored when I'm home making sure they don't injure themselves. If your dogs have an issue with mine. I will put my boys in the kennel.. Your pet is the guest. There is always someone at home with the pets.
