House Sitting in Potsdam

“Christie did a great job house/dogsitting. The house was in perfect shape when I got back and the dogs seemed very relaxed with her. I would definitely hire her again.”

“Crystal was amazing! My dogs took to her right away. She kept to their schedules and sent me pictures to show me how they were doing. I felt safe and confident leaving my doggies with her :)”

“This is the third time Caitlin has stayed with us, would be the fourth but the last minute thing that she was able to help us out with we didn’t end up needing. Everyone loves her! Caitlin is our go to always.”

About: For future reference; will not be accepting non neutered or spayed cats/dogs unless accompanied by a crate, especially if their not trained please. I do have one myself, so not that you need to have one per se but allow use if necessary! This is partially for Henrys experience too, so please keep that in mind when reading this; its not to be snarky. I have trained two dogs growing up who have above average listening and response times. Positive reinforcement was key to my success, psychology paid off. One was a rescue dog; she was such a sweet heart but it took some time getting her to open up based off her traumatic experiences prior to entering the adoption location she luckily found her way too. Henry on the other hand, was purchased from a breeder, so fortunately for him less baggage, and unfortunately for her given the circumstances. I've done dog sitting/pet care for family dogs when family members would go on vacation for anywhere from 6 to 8 weeks. Medication administration is a non issue, as well as grooming is another area I take great pride in doing myself, as it's a good trait to have being a pet owner. Have cared for puppies, adult or senior dogs; we were a dog first family growing up so I've grown to love them more than you can realize just through descriptions; with my active daily lifestyle it allows for the animals to gain as much out of exercise as I do and working from home helps as well. I treat animals as if their my family or children, so they'd receive the same treatment one would expect from a friend baby sitting their children. Seamlessly; he wakes up when I do and is let out accordingly at 4 AM we go for multiple walks a day most notably 430 AM and 530 PM. I work from home so it makes it very manageable to get him outside for bathroom breaks within 2-2.5 hour interval periods. I'd like to think we both operate at a high level through one another. We feed off one another, so when he's upbeat I am too, but when I'm down he has his tricks that ensure a great therapeutic touch. I treat them as if their my children; I speak to them in a way they understand with words or phrases we've practiced or has practiced to ensure optimal success in regards to understanding one another. Henry and I like to play often with his toys or just horsing around with Belly rubs and chasing him around the house. He sleeps with me too, so no furniture is off limits as I usually have blankets or other covers in place to manage hair loss.

“Did a great job!”

“I cannot recommend Bethany highly enough! She recently stayed at my home to care for my senior small dog, and she was absolutely amazing. From the start, Bethany was warm, professional, and incredibly caring. She took the time to understand my dog’s needs and routines, and it showed in how comfortable and happy she was in her care. Throughout her stay, Bethany kept in touch just as I had requested—sending thoughtful updates and sweet pictures that truly put my mind at ease. It was clear from every message that she treated my pup with so much love and attention. It’s such a relief to have found someone so reliable and compassionate. I’ll definitely be contacting Bethany again for future dates. Thank you, Bethany, for your caring personality and for taking such wonderful care of little dog!”

“Nuala was wonderful. She house sat for us. Our dogs adored her. She did a great job with communication, and checked in daily, but was completely self sufficient. I'm really glad we found her.”

John M.

“Julia did such an awesome job looking after our pets! We could really relax and enjoy our weekend away, knowing they were in good hands. We’ll definitely be booking with her again, thank you!!”

Tricia R.

“Kayla took such great care of our three pups over a long weekend away! She updated us all the time and was so patient with our crazy crew. I had such comfort knowing she was there and that means everything while we’re away. Thank you Kayla!”

About: I have lived with animals my entire life! Currently I have a dog and a cat. My dog is a 2.5 year old beagle and my cat is about 5 years old and he's a grey long haired cat. They both get along great (at times) and I love having them in my life. I have had experience with administering medications to dogs and cats, administering insulin to dogs, bottle feeding puppies, taking care of litters of puppies, teaching commands, mentally stimulating both dogs and cats and making sure they are physically stimulated as well. I do it daily with my own but I am a full time student at the moment. I have classes both online and in person but I only go in person a few days a week so I have lots of time to take care of your animals. I do not offer in home but when I am in a clients home I treat it and their animals as if they are my own. I go and do the job that I am there to do without causing any problems.

About: I love dogs! I have experience taking care of big and small, well and not so well behaved dogs : ). I have a private property for ball throwing and running around. I work at home so I have the time to care for your dog. My main reason to do this is because I love pets but I am not ready for my own again just yet. I work from home full time! I would be able to give your dog walks before work, lunch, and after work. I’m open to special needs. I have 10 acres. It’s not fenced but has a treed border. I would have your pet at my home. I don’t have any other pets or children in the home.

About: My family started off with small dogs. By the time I was in middle school we were rescue housing huge dogs. I love cats. I might like them more than any other animal. I’ve dealt with puppies to old age dogs. I’m currently on break from Physical Therapy School. All weekdays are free. I often go running if that is a benefit your dog would enjoy I am not allowed to have pets in my house. All care would be at local dog parks or the clients neighborhood. I am willing to travel.

“We had a great experience with our dog. Kambree took the time to come and meet our dogs and get to know them ahead of time. She took excellent care of them while we were away from letting them in and out to feed them, to walking them everyday and giving them love and attention. We received daily updates with pictures and communication regarding our dogs. We truly feel she went above and beyond and would highly recommend her services.”

“Dekoda was very kind and pleasant to work with. She went above and beyond spending time with our animals. Our vacation was much more enjoyable knowing they were well taken care of. Will definitely be booking with her again.”

About: I grew up with intelligent dog breeds. When I was little we had Huskies, and German Shepards. Then In high school I got two Australian Shepards within the span of 2 years, and trained them both. I have since adopted an elderly Australian Shepard, so now I have three dogs. I am a winter sports fan, and an avid hiker, I love the outdoors, and like the cold. I have dog friendly transportation. I am currently a volunteer and the Potsdam Humane Society, and I am in training there to handle reactive dogs. I am a full time student at St. Lawrence University. My schedule is typically very consistent, with exception to around holiday times. I am available from 3:00p.m.-5:00p.m. M and W, 10:30a.m.-5:00p.m. T and Th, 1:00p.m. F, 8:00a.m.-5:00p.m. Sat-Sun for dog walking/hiking. I have grown up handling dogs my entire life. I promise to make your dog feel safe and relaxed, to allow them to get their energy out, and to give your dog the ability to get the exercise they desperately need, while you're away at work.

“Lessi was the best! She took such great care of my dog, Taj! I honestly am not sure who had more fun during our weekends away - he was living the dream the entire time and Lessi sent me photos of him and all the fun things he was doing. It was such a relief knowing what great hands he was in and I will definitely rebook with her in the future! Thanks so much!”

“Caitlyn did a great job caring for Hershey. He was happy and relaxed when we returned home!”

About: I’ve had dogs cats and currently have a bearded dragon, and have had no problems. My sister has used this app for a while and I have helped her. I work Monday to Thursday with weekends off. I will be able to care for the animal at anytime during the weekend or after 4:30 on weekdays. I’ve never had any problems with animals in my house. All of my animals are healthy and I always respect other peoples houses and properties.

About: I am a super active person! I love to go to the near by park but will do anything to accommodate your dogs’ needs. I have had my own dogs my whole life, including rescues that had a lot of behavioural issues. I know how to deal with a dog of any type no matter how easy or difficult they may be in the most loving manner. I work shift work that consists of 4 days working in a row and then 4 days off in a row. I have two cats at home that I love so much. They typically mind their own business when dogs are around! I am very much for open communication between us on anything and am looking to develop awesome relationships with you and your fur babies! I work full time, 4 days in a row and then have 4 days off in a row! I like to spend my spare time with my own pets, taking care of others’, being active, playing sports etc! My place is clean, tidy, and safe for all pets! I am very attentive to their needs and behaviours. | | | | | |
