“Bev is an awesome in home dog sitter. The dogs get their food, meds, daily walk and she cleans up the yard from their daily's as well. When we return she has stripped her bed and the house is in order. Our pups are calm and happy with no signs of being stressed while we are away.”
“What we most loved about Hailey was how quickly our animals took to her — our dogs were leaning against her within minutes, and even the cats who hide came out and let her pet them the very first night! It was comforting to leave our pets in the care of someone who clearly loves and understands animals. And though we ended up rushed and didn't have as much time as I wanted to orient her, she perfectly remembered and followed all instructions. We've already booked her again.”
About: I’ve taken care of neighbors and families pets for extended periods (~7-10 days). I found a litter of feral kittens this past summer and cared for them until finding them homes. I’ve also watched many breeds of dogs from chihuahuas to mountain dogs. I’m available most days and hours as I don’t have much of a routine as this is my current source of income during my time of from college. My personal dogs are able to be off leash constantly as I am from a farm background which allows them to have a lot of space. The dogs I’ve watched often have fenced in yards that I’ll play with them in and let them outside on a schedule the owner has requested.
“I am so grateful for the care provided for our cats! It felt clear that she understood how to meet and make each cat comfortable! I believe our cats felt supported and safe because August did everything to keep the cats routines. We feel so grateful and will book again!”
About: I’ve had dogs that both lived over 15 healthy years plus sitting .I’m dependable, cautious about their safety and respond quickly. I’m respectful and flexible. I work part time as a caregiver and have a flexible schedule. I’m reliable, mature and will be attentive. As well as reachable when needed. I’m careful about your pets safety as well as a feeding schedule. I’m cautious regarding heat and ice and keep their environment clean and tidy.
“Anna has helped us out many time with dog/house sitting. She is great with Ruby & Miika. They love having her here. Anna was super helpful this time when our travel mode got messed up. We were so thankful she was able to stay an extra day. I highly recommend her!”
“Tracey is amazing! She watched our puppy for the first time we were away from him. It was a relief to know he was in great hands. She has a calming, positive presence that he responded well to, as he is still fearful of strangers, but made fast friends with Tracey. Her passion for caring for animals is evident. We are grateful to have her care for our home and animals.”
About: Everyone around me knows how much I love pets. I have helped dog sitting my boss’s dog, and as a first timer, I know I did great! I’m working a full time job, I’m ready for anything after working hours and weekends. For occasional home visits, I can make some exceptions depending on my schedule. I myself have a cat, and I haven’t been able to assess how she would react with other pets so I’m holding off on bringing other pets at my place for now. Otherwise, for the clients, I make sure I observe all safety measures and that I’m giving them all the love.
“Vi was wonderful to accommodate our last minute booking request. They came on time and were thoughtful and accommodating to our pets idiosyncrasies and needs. They were appropriately communicative. I would definitely book with Vi again.”
“Sarah was great with our high energy dog! We were out of state for the weekend and Sarah stayed in our home and took great care of our dog and our home. She was very responsive as well. We’ll definitely be reaching out to Sarah next time we’re away!”
About: While I don't have any special training with animals, I like to listen to what the owner and the animal needs for care. I genuinely love hanging out with them. I love how excited dogs get when I walk into a house, or how free they feel and excited they are for a walk. Or when cats rub up against you and love getting pets. Pets are like people, they're all unique and have their own personality and needs. That's what makes pets awesome, how different they all are. I'm currently working a few hours each week from home, so I have plenty of free time to hang out with pups, or kitties, or take dogs for a much need walk or bathroom break. Well that depends on the animal, because each pet is different. how comfortable they are with me, how many times do I need to be introduced to them, how the owner would like me to care for them. Theres a lot of factors that come into play, so I am willing to do what the owner would like to be done for their own pet.
“Sade was the BEST - sending pictures of Marvin, taking him to our local reservoir, giving him plenty of snuggles, and just letting us feel relaxed while we’re away. Marvin isn’t the easiest dog sometimes and we feel so calm and comfortable knowing he’s in Sade’s hands!”
“Payton was amazing. She was communicative, responsible, and took good care of my dogs as well as the house. We had a medical emergency with one of the dogs that she handled like a rock star - we were very thankful that she was there and had no doubts that our dogs were well looked after.”
“Julia was awesome with Isaac and kept me updated throughout the day with pictures and messages. I felt very comfortable with her immediately and will absolutely reach out to her again with future bookings! I also want to note how accommodating she was - arriving at 5:30am so I could get to an important meeting. I so appreciate her punctuality and ability to take in Isaac’s care plan so quickly. Isaac is a shy rescue and it takes a special person for him to warm up so quickly. Thank you, Julia!”
About: 🐾 Hi, I’m Daniel — a lifelong animal lover and reliable sitter based in Plattsburgh, NY. Over the years, I’ve cared for six dogs of my own and have regularly walked and dog-sat for friends, neighbors, and local clients. Whether it’s a brisk walk, some much-needed playtime, or a cozy companion while you're away, I treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m a 26 year old creative/entrepreneur focused on my growth but pet care is something I’ve always enjoyed, taken seriously, and do as a side hustle. My schedule is flexible, especially on holidays, and I’ll do everything I can to accommodate your pet’s needs and routine. I understand pets can get nervous when their humans are away. That’s no problem — I’m calm, patient, and focused on making sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for while you're gone. If you ever have questions, I’m always just a message away! 🗓️ My hours are flexible! I currently work part-time at a restaurant in Plattsburgh but when the day winds down, I'm a self employed musician/entrepreneur. Don't hesitate to reach out with the dates and times you need cause I'm sure I can fit your furry friend into my week! 🏡 Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I make sure they’re well exercised, fed, and relaxed — whether we’re out for a walk or just hanging out. I’m gentle but confident when working with animals and understand that each one has their own unique needs and behaviors. I’m here to make them feel at home, even when they’re not.
