Pet Sitting in Plattsburgh

About: Growing up the son of a farmer I've taken care of more animals than just cats and dogs. Today I take care of my own cat, Princess and regularly dog/house sit two Golden Doodles for my fifth grade teacher. I work primarily at a restaurant in town. My hours are typically 430pm-9pm. So most days I'm free during the morning/afternoon and again later at night. I follow all instructions left and treat your pets as you would if you were home. The two Doodles that I frequently take care of have a very regimated diet and lifestyle that I adhere to and make sure they feel like their mama never left!

About: The first two decades of my life were with up to four dogs at a time (and some cats), including my very own, a terrier. I am happy to say she lived her full 20 years right along with me. I love all animals as much as Hagrid and spending time with them is always the highlight of my day. I'm equally happy to spend time roughhousing as I am to stroll through the park, and I'm filled to the brim with patience. I have experience taking care of both puppies and senior dogs (including administering oral medication). I also volunteer at animal shelters and am comfortable working with pets with behavioral issues and cleaning up messes. Thanks for checking out my profile and I look forward to meeting your furry friend! My schedule is very flexible and open, and I can be available at a range of times for a range of situations. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me and we can discuss it more. I am a very patient individual when it comes to pets, and have no issue with taking the time to let your pet become accustomed to me if it has trust issues with new people. I believe in being respectful to all animals and letting them tell you how they'd like to engage.

“Julia did an excellent job watching our fur baby during our weekend getaway. We got updates of how the dog was doing, and got pictures of her playing the yard. We came back to a happy dog, and will definitely be using her again in future.”

About: Hi! My name is Grace, and I’m a big time animal lover! I’ve had experience taking care of cats and dogs. I grew up with a cockapoo named Millie and a cat named Maggie and have always had a special connection to animals, dogs and cats in particular. I’m quite an active person, so I’ll be able to take your dog on a speed walk, but I’m also very patient if your dog prefers leisurely walks! I have Sundays and Mondays off of work, and I work the rest of the days so am not as available. Tuesday mornings before 10 am are available for me. I work a full-time 40 hr. a week job that is about an hour away from my house, so I’m only available to pet sit on days I have off, which are Sundays and Mondays. I am also available Tuesday mornings before 10 am I do not offer pet sitting in my own house, but in my client’s house I will make sure to follow the pet care instructions given to me to the T! I’m a very detail oriented person. I also love meeting new pets, and will make them feel as comfortable as possible by introducing myself slowly and in a friendly way.

“Nan is great! She always spends more time than what has been set up and does a great job with my little dog. She’s very thorough with making sure she will have everything she needs for your dog when you’re gone. I highly recommend Nan”

About: I am an animal lover and active walker. I am looking to help local pet owners find someone to take their dog for a walk by the lake or to Point Au Roche for an outing. I love animals and this is the perfect side gig to spend more time with animals, while saving for a rainy day. I'm happy to take your dog out for a walk about town, let them out in your own yard, play with your cat, or check on small caged pets. As an active person, I love being outside, and enjoy giving pets that outlet too. Notes for drop-in home visits: I’m happy to check food and water for animals such as hamsters, guinea pigs, and gerbils. Additional rodents will be charged at the additional cat fee. I would prefer that you have your dog, their leash, treats and waste bags ready for pick-up at your home. I can easily self-navigate to let myself in and out without disturbing your home.

About: Available for dog walking and house sitting. I prefer to do this at your house, as my dogs are quite large and prefer only larger dogs. I am a licensed veterinary technician currently working at a local veterinary hospital in the Plattsburgh area. I have been in the animal healthcare field for 10 years. I am looking to make some extra money in my free time. I currently have 4 dogs of my own ranging from 6 months to 10 years old. I am willing to work with any size dogs and cats as well. I am also able to administer medications or any special care your pet may need while you are away from home. If you have any special requests or questions please do not hesitate to ask. Schedule availability varies. I am able to schedule drop in visits, lunch time walks and pet sitting around my full time schedule as needed with notice. Let me know what you need and we can figure out a schedule that works for both of us. Will walk your pet, spend couch time or outdoor play time as needed. Comfortable with feeding routines and various medication administration protocols if needed. Also comfortable with many behavior and personality types. Will adjust my care depending on your pets "normal" to keep them as comfortable as possible while you are away.

About: I have taken care of pets for family and friends since I was about 12 years old. I have been responsible for feeding, walking, playing with, toileting, and loving peoples most beloved family members I work 8am-4:30pm daily so my schedule would be purrrfect for evening/night shifters. I am off weekends so I can be available for all of your pet care needs then! I am currently not offering in home services at this time. I will be able to come to your home to provide whatever services are needed.

About: Attention to detail and understanding that each pet has unique needs is very important to me. I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’m flexible with my scheduling including last minute bookings when possible. I prioritize clear communication by sending regular updates such as photos/videos and check-ins with owners. I’m also patient with puppies who need consistency and routine. Being gentle with senior dogs who may need extra attention, slower paced care, or administration of medication during my visit. My goal is to help every pet feel at home and give owners peace of mind. I am working toward a long term career in animal care and value every opportunity to build experience while giving pets the compassionate attention they deserve. My weekday schedule is very flexible allowing me to accommodate a variety of care needs. My weekend schedule has some flexible availability as well. Meeting with you and your pets are a requirement before I can provide my services. I believe safety and trust are a crucial part to our professional relationship. When caring for pets in your home I do my best to keep their routine consistent so they feel safe and happy. I will provide updates and communication during my time with them, in addition to leaving your home in the same condition as when I arrived.

“Ben was such a big help spending time with Daisy for two weeks. He is responsive, kind, and will form a bond with your pup in no time. We look forwarding to hiring Ben again!”

About: I have 5 animals at home (3 cats & 2 dogs) that i love dearly and consider my children. I have had all my animals since they were babies, so I am comfortable with puppies and kittens. I am comfortable and have experience with giving medicine as well, if needed. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to coordinate drop ins or walks at just about any time of the day. I have raised all my animals since they were babies, so I am comfortable with working with whatever routine your animals are in (ie. leash training, crate training).

“Needing a sitter on short notice, due to a death in the family, Brooke was a perfect sitter for our aging Yorkie. Being her first time handling her, She was very thorough and gave us updates and pictures of her visits. Despite our dog being a little shy and fearful of a new presence in the house, I believe she got excellent care.”

“Tracey was fabulous with our some times stubborn floof ball. It was a short time, but feel comfortable leaving him in her capable hands.”
