Allia is fantastic! We worked with her for the first time this weekend because our daughter had a 1st birthday party, and our dog Cooper gets anxious around children he doesn’t know. We asked if she could take him for a long walk or excursion and she provided an excellent experience the whole way through. She was on time, professional, has great energy, and greeted Cooper with a hug 😊 You could from the Rover pictures how happy she made Cooper the whole time they were out together; she treated him like family. She sent pictures throughout her time with him, took great care of him, and had great communication about her arrival time back. We’ve been looking to build a strong list of go-to dog sitters/dog walking partners, and you can bet Allia is on our list! Thanks for everything, Allia, and we (and Cooper 🐾) look forward to working with you again!

About: I’ve pet sat for family members but I’ve also and still currently pet sit for previous teachers. I’ve done an internship at a vet clinic. I completed boces which made me a certified veterinary assistant. I worked at the SPCA while finishing up college. Volunteered at Tanglewood Nature Center. Depending on my work schedule I spend as much time as possible outside of work with your pets. I don’t leave them alone for long at all. I’m easy going, my dog gets crated when I’m not home. I will make sure nothing is sitting out that could potentially harm an animal

About: I have had pets my whole life. I have had many dogs and some cats as well. I can train puppies, have lots of patience with them, and can love on them all day long. I have 2 dogs. Someone is always home, so pups are never unattended. We have a 11 year old daughter as well who loves animals and loves to help care for them. We have 3 acres of land, and a log home. We have a cable to hook up dogs who like to wander, but can allow dogs to run loose if they are well trained.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all age and sizes since I was a child. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to do anything their pet needs while they’re away. In the future I’m looking to take a dog training course and slow transition into that as a full time job. Every morning I wake up and immediately tend to the dogs and let them outside to use the bathroom and play around, then we come Inside to eat breakfast to start the day. We go outside about 3x daily to potty and play. I have a big privacy fenced in yard for play time. I have 4 dogs of my own. However I typically do not let them converse with my boarding dogs unless known that they are friendly.

About: My remote work makes it possible to spend my days with my dog Winnie, who I adopted from the wonderful Schuyler County Humane Society last year, and still be able to walk or visit other dogs or cats for anyone who is not able to work from home or has plans out of town and can’t bring their furry friend. My schedule is pretty adjustable so let me know when you need someone and I can likely help out. I work remotely and am able to more or less make my own schedule so I can walk dogs during 9-5 hours too. Sometimes there is a gap between projects and I have even more availability. At this time I would not be caring for pets in my home but would possibly be available to watch a pet at a client’s home.

About: I have taken care of dogs of all different breeds and sizes since I was young. Neighbors, family and friends have relied on me to let their furry friends out for potty breaks, walk them, feed them, and even stay with them in their homes while they are away. I am currently working full time at a dairy farm/farm store until I head back to college this fall. I can be with them before and after work. My hours differ day to day but we can make it work! I can care for your animals in whatever way you need. If they are not able to free roam in your yard, I am willing to leash walk them. I will play with them for as long as they want and I will make sure they are fed on whatever schedule you currently have set for them.

About: Ive walked dogs for many years from my own dog to friends or families! I have a love for dogs and enjoy spending time with your furry friends! I am available all day on Tuesday and Wednesdays as well as Thursday to Monday before 4pm. I can walk in the mornings and afternoons. I am also able to do overnights if needed. I lost my cat two years ago to old age and cancer. Although I haven't welcomes a new pet of my own into the home I gave birth to Twin girls! They are now 16 months and LOVE visiting with your animals. Sometimes they come with me for walks or drop ins as long as a meet and greet happens where I see a positive interaction between your animal and my babies. If it's not a good match then I either don't have the girls with me or for wont take the boarding request as they live with me full time.

About: While you're away, rest assured that your dog is in excellent hands. You'll receive photos and updates, and your pet will enjoy walks, fresh water, meals, belly rubs, playtime, and more. No stress for you, and no stress for your furry friend, who will continue their routine as usual. I would love to meet you and your dog, get to know their environment, and see if we're a good fit. I have lifelong experience with dogs, including my 16-year companion, Jack, now gone, always in my heart... I understand the importance of peace of mind when traveling, knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. A happy pup means a happy owner, and peace of mind is priceless. I work from home... and I create my schedule based on needs and have flexibility throughout the day... it is a no-brainer to do this. I only provide drop-in visits and house sits... for your convenience and that of your dog or cat. Peace of mind for you, and your fur baby.

About: I have had pets all my life starting at a young age. I have always taken pride in the ability to take care of and enjoy the time learning and playing with them. They are just as much part of the family as anyone else in the house. We currently have 3 dogs; an American Bully and 2 Pitties that have become a huge part of our family. I work full time, however, have a couple hours each evening throughout the week and also have availability on most weekends after 9am as first thing in the morning is time for our dogs to go out and play. We have 3 acres for our dogs to roam on electric collars. They respect the collars enough we are able to let them roam free off leash all the time.

Emma is a passionate, kind hearted person. When it comes to my pets she is the first person I call when I need a sitter. She is so loving towards her cat Jackson, and loves all animals as her own. When she watched my cat Rose, it was clear they connected quick and Rose loved her! Emma makes sure your pets will be well loved and cared for while she watches them. The pets always connect with her fast and can sense her kind spirit. If you want your pets to be loved and treated with kindness Emma is the person for the job!!

Bethany has spent many years working with canines. She started in middle school working with our local 4H club. There she learned everything from grooming to obedience to rally. She took our family dog to a blue ribbon spot! When she graduated high school she went on to Cobleskill for canine management. She has learned triage and basic health care which will greatly help her with your loved pets!

Meagan is so kind, patient, and thorough. She goes above and beyond and is a great communicator. I'm very grateful to have her looking after my boy while I'm at work.

About: While you're away, rest assured that your dog is in excellent hands. You'll receive photos and updates, and your pet will enjoy walks, fresh water, meals, belly rubs, playtime, and more. No stress for you, and no stress for your furry friend, who will continue their routine as usual. I would love to meet you and your dog, get to know their environment, and see if we're a good fit. I have lifelong experience with dogs, including my 16-year companion, Jack, now gone, always in my heart... I understand the importance of peace of mind when traveling, knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. A happy pup means a happy owner, and peace of mind is priceless. I work from home... and I create my schedule based on needs and have flexibility throughout the day... it is a no-brainer to do this. I only provide drop-in visits and house sits... for your convenience and that of your dog or cat. Peace of mind for you, and your fur baby.

About: I have had pets all my life starting at a young age. I have always taken pride in the ability to take care of and enjoy the time learning and playing with them. They are just as much part of the family as anyone else in the house. We currently have 3 dogs; an American Bully and 2 Pitties that have become a huge part of our family. I work full time, however, have a couple hours each evening throughout the week and also have availability on most weekends after 9am as first thing in the morning is time for our dogs to go out and play. We have 3 acres for our dogs to roam on electric collars. They respect the collars enough we are able to let them roam free off leash all the time.
