“Margaret has been lovely! She has taken my pup for walks while i’m working long shifts. She is patient with my crazy high energy pup! She gives me updates on how the walks went and is very responsive! I can tell she is passionate about animals!”
“Travis. Originally came to our house for a meet and greet before we arranged for the dog walking service. Travis has now completed 3 dog walks with our young lab. Travis has very good communication skills, is friendly and reliable. Goose (the lab) enjoys his time with Travis :)”
“Lydia was really great with our nervous dog Blue. She was very pleasant to organize with, she was flexible and on time. Given how nervous he was, it was a miracle she was still able to give us some free time to watch our son's tennis match. She definitely has a lot of dog management skills and her calm nature made it easier for me to let him go despite his fear. I will definitely be booking more walks with Lydia in the future!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all ages and sizes. From basic training of puppies to elder care, hospice care and administering medication. I’m patient, kind and enjoy all energy levels. Whether they are movie & couch potato pups, prefer swimming at the river or playing ball in the meadow, I’m always excited to give them the best time they can have. I work a rotational schedule allowing me to have blocks of 3 weeks off at a time. During that time I am fully available for any pet care needs. have over 3 acres of woods & meadows for frolicking that back up to more wooded areas, I’m a short drive from two beautiful river walks or swimming (seasonal). I do have crates available if needed. I have a good selection of pet basic first aid and hygiene supplies.
About: My house was always referred to as a “zoo” with all the different pets we had growing up. I had dogs, cats, ferrets, hamsters, guinea pigs, mice, birds, sheep, pigs, chickens.. the list goes on. Right now I have two dogs and 3 cats of my own. I previously worked full time at as an administrative assistant for a humane society, after having also volunteered there in my youth. I am a County Animal Response Team (CART) volunteer which required me to complete trainings in both emergency management and HazMat safety, helping me to be prepared, calm, and knowledgeable under pressure or in an emergency. I adopted my dog Tara (who you can see in my photos) while working at the humane society in 2024. I have had my heeler/border collie mix Rusty since he was a puppy in 2020. I have experience with couch potato dogs, and dogs like my own that want to be active around the clock. I have spent countless hours working with animals of many types, backgrounds, and needs, which helped me to understand they are really all unique in their own ways, and truly do have their own personalities, likes, and dislikes. I love meeting different animals and learning about what makes them unique! You can trust me with your pets. After some time away, I am now available again full time for pet care! I can do drop-ins or walks most times of day, early morning or late afternoon. My schedule is very flexible. I will follow specific care instructions should they be given. Extreme caution will be taken in caring for your pet, I understand how important the safety of your pet is, and would treat yours the same as all of my own, who mean the world to me.
About: I’ve been petsitting for family and friends for two decades now, and would love the opportunity to help you out as well! I love all pets big and small, with familiarity with dogs, cats, lizards, rodents, and birds! Bonus! I’m a teacher as my day job, so you can trust that I’ve been solidly background checked, fingerprinted, etc, ensuring a safe, trustworthy person around your pets on a predictable schedule. I am a full-time teacher from September to June. This means that my summers are wide open, and you can count on a reliable consistent schedule for your pets during the school year. Since I have my own cats at home, I offer pet-sitting at your home on your schedule. This can range from stop ins for potty breaks to walks every few hours to overnight stays - you tell me and I’m there! We’ll discuss your expectations to make sure that your pets get exactly the care you expect during your time away, and I promise clear and open communication while you trust me to watch over your babies!
About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and no one should ever have to worry about quality pet care while away. Call on me. I am plenty capable of being where I’m needed, at any time of day. Don’t feel like you don’t have options. I’m one call away. I am a responsible, respectful, private & compassionate person. I’m within the Massena area and willing to drive if needed. Just give me a call or text.
“Alicia is the best! My boy loved her and she was very in tune with his needs. Her experience was valuable for me to learn from. He was so happy after his walk to have a special friend :)”
About: My family have had rescue dogs since before I was born and I was raised around a variety of dogs of different temperaments and energy levels. I am comfortable with timid and reactive dogs and have trained my dogs to perform a variety of tricks. I work remotely and generally open availability, though I am not available on the weekends. I am ideal if your dog needs mid-day walks or company while you are away at work. I live with both cats and dogs and don't offer in-house pet sitting but am comfortable traveling to you to walk or watch your pet.
About: I have taken care of dogs, cats, even alpacas and horses! Since I was around 7 years old. I have a genuine love for all animals and would do anything to make sure they’re all loved! I have experience with senior dogs, who need special care and medication, as well as puppies, who need that time to get their extra energy out as well as doing some training for simple commands. I’ve also trained dogs to run or walk while biking and rollerblading I have also helped with toy and food aggressive and help families with dogs who are nervous around men to become more comfortable. I am currently working part time, so I have plenty of free time to housesit do check-ins, really whatever is needed and I can be available on short notice! Well, being in your home, I will always be very courteous and clean, making sure that myself and your animals are safe, comfortable and loved
