Dog Sitting Rensselaer

“Net has been absolutely amazing with our dogs, especially helping us adjust to our new addition to the family. We have a 5-year-old Norwegian Elkhound and a ~5-month-old Norwegian Elkhound, and she has been wonderful with both of them. On the days she walks them, I come home from work to two dogs who are calm, happy, and clearly well cared for. From the very first meeting, they adored her and were immediately comfortable playing and spending time with her. I’m incredibly thankful to have found someone so reliable and kind who has taken the stress of midday walks off my plate. I couldn’t recommend her more highly.”

About: My husband and I have a dog named Jax, he just turned 7 and is such a goofball. We have taken care of dogs for a long time now and Jax loves having friends over! Sean works from home so we are able to give your dog plenty of breaks. Our day normally consists of 2 good walks morning and night, an afternoon quick walk and potty breaks in between! We live in an apartment along Washington Square Park, so we walk the park every day! We try on days off to find trails around to get out as well!

About: I grew up around dogs, so caring for them comes naturally to me. I’ve helped take care of my friends’ dogs, including Pip, whom I’ve watched since he was a puppy, and Martha, a more senior dog. I’ve handled walking, feeding, playtime, and just generally making sure they’re comfortable and well cared for. I’m very responsible and understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. I take that responsibility seriously and treat every dog as if they were my own. It means a lot to me to be given the opportunity to care for your furry friend. : ) I can be flexible with my schedule depending on what you and your doggie needs. If there’s a particular time that you’re looking for, feel free to let me know and we can work something out! I live in a single apartment, with a lots of room for any small or medium sized doggies. I also love runs and long walks if they’re more in the mood to be more playful

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life. My first, a black Lab named Louie, was already in the house when I was born, so I really can’t imagine life without a dog. My family recently got two puppies, Simba and Xena, that I’ve helped take care of when the rest of the house is away. I’ve been around many different breeds, ages, and personalities, and understand that each one has their own needs and routines. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, play, and keeping them company. I love being around all kinds of dogs and will treat yours with the same care and attention I give my own. I’m a college student with a flexible schedule that allows me to care for pets throughout the week and on weekends when needed. I’m happy to work around your dog’s normal routine, whether that means stopping by for walks, spending time with them during the day, or caring for them while you’re away. Growing up with dogs has taught me how important it is to keep pets safe, comfortable, and on their normal schedules. I will follow your instructions carefully, including feeding times, walking routines, and any special needs your pet has. I understand that every dog is different, and I will take the time to make sure your pet feels comfortable with me. I will also keep you updated while you’re away so you know your pet is doing well.

About: I’ve had animals my entire life and caring for them has always come naturally to me. I grew up with dogs, cats, and rabbits, and I currently have fancy rats of my own — so I’m comfortable with both traditional pets and small animals. The majority of my family has always had pets as well, and I’ve regularly helped care for them over the years. Whether it’s feeding schedules, walks, cleaning enclosures, administering basic care, or just making sure they feel safe and loved, I’ve always been very hands-on. Animals are truly a passion of mine. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every animal as if they were my own — with patience, attentiveness, and lots of love. I am currently not working, which means I have full availability and a very flexible schedule. I’m available for drop-ins, quick walks, playtime visits, and overnight house sitting. In the spring, I will be starting nursing school, but I still plan to offer consistent and reliable care with flexible availability. I’m committed to clear communication and making sure your pet’s routine stays consistent and stress-free. I prefer house sitting in your home rather than boarding pets at my own. I believe animals are most comfortable in their familiar environment, surrounded by their own scents, routines, and safe spaces. Staying in their home helps reduce stress and allows me to keep their schedule as normal as possible. My goal is always to make your pet feel secure, calm, and cared for while you’re away.

About: I have, of course experience as a pet lover as a young child, merely watching and walking the dogs, feeding and changing litter/ picking up after the dogs. I never fully had responsibility and experience until I adopted my pal Leo. He is a high energy lab retriever and puts me through every step of patience! All in all, it has taught me to be stern and serious when needed, but flip it around to fun and playful as well. My boy knows to respect me and listen when i give a command. I know with my body language and direct nature will ensure your pups and kitties are loved and watched over. I will give your pets the time and attention you allow and ensure that while you are away there is plenty of fun to be had, and plenty of adventure as well :) I will be enrolling in school online at SNHU and will be taking courses at home. I will have afternoons and evenings off, So, plenty of free time for your beloved furry companions. I have experience with all types of dogs, not so much cats, but i am a day by day learner! I take everything into opportunity to gain a new skill. I will ensure your pet feels safe and secure with me, all of their needs will be met so long as they are in my care! :)

About: I not only love caring for animals, but learning all their quirks and personalities. I am very familiar with the patience and love it takes to care for seniors, and the space many animals want from humans (especially new ones). I am happy to meet them where they’re at and hopefully brighten up their day! I have lots of experience with giving pills, special diets, etc. as well. I learn fast and take animal care very seriously. I’m currently working part time and studying to apply for grad school, so I have plenty of time! I often am doing one of my many hobbies or spending time with loved ones, which can easily be shared with your little loves too. At home, I am vigilant about dangers for my cat when I am not around and triple check to make sure she is safe and she can’t get into anything. My main priorities are to make sure she is healthy, happy, and enriched!

“Angela was excellent, my cat Nene was well cared for, and I would highly reccomend her for anyone looking for a cat sitter. Thank you for taking care of Nene!”

“Kassandra took great care of my boys who are very shy and little standoff-ish. She ensured they were well taken care of and was very patient with them. It was right when I recently moved into a new house as well so tensions were high but she navigated it well”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats since I was 10 years old. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and stay overnight with their pets. I’m comfortable with puppies, senior dogs, and pets with specific routines or medication needs. I understand how important consistency and patience are, and I always treat every pet like they’re my own. I currently work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule for pet care. I’m available most weekdays after 2pm and have open availability on weekends for walks, drop-ins, or house sitting. I’m reliable, punctual, and happy to work with your pet’s specific routine to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priority. I do not have a fenced in yard but I can accommodate and make your pet comfortable at all times. I can crate your dog if needed and always supervise playtime. I follow feeding schedules carefully and will provide updates and photos so you feel at ease while you’re away. In a client’s home, I respect your space and keep everything clean, secure, and just as you left it.

About: Dogs and Cats are basically my life, I have always loved and worked with animals growing up. I currently have a 9 year old Blue Nose Pittie at home as well as 5 year old Domestic Cat and 1 year old Domestic Cat! I love all breeds and sizes! I worked at East Greenbush Animal hospital for 3 years and although I have a new job, through working there I have gained experience not only through my animals but others as well. I love going on walks with dogs and letting them have the most fun they can! Whether your pet is down to earth, hyper off the walls or in the middle, I’d love to be able to visit and help out! I can not stay over night with your pets, but can let them out in the morning and evenings! I am looking forward to seeing all the dogs and cats Thanks! I can go before my work in the mornings, during the late afternoon once I am off work, and later at night to help with your pets. I always make sure your pets are comfortable in the environment they are in, keeping them safe and at peace is a huge roll while sitting.

“This was Shannon’s second time watching my boys while I was away. She’s so good with them and they love her. She works on training with my younger dog, Apollo, who can be a handful. She is great at communicating and her availability is always up to date. I’m looking forward to rehiring her.”

Natasha B.

“Kaylee was great! Our dog Penny really liked her and she knew exactly how to deal with her over-active energy. She followed instructions really well and has a calm disposition. Took great care of my kitties, too. We'll definitely call on her again for future needs!”

Shawn D.

“Cathy was fantastic with our kitty! She took as many pictures as she was able (sometimes our cat is recluse) and she communicated very well. I would definitely recommend her!”

About: I know the stress of boarding a pet or having a stranger in your home. (We have gone through it as well). We will make your time away is as stress-free as possible. No matter the service, you will get regular updates while your pet(s) receive tons of cuddles, belly rubs, scratches, as well as plenty of photos. My husband has joined my team (focusing on walks and drop ins) and myself (overnights, drop ins and walks) allowing us to take care of more amazing pups. All services- house sitting (overnights in your home) quick drop ins (quick in home visits and companionship) walks - (include endless scratches, belly rubs, cuddles and love.) We are parents of a 10 year old goofy chocolate lab. And before him a fearful aggressive German Shepherd. Each one had(s) their very own unique needs. Our calming nature helps you dog(s) relax faster. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions / requests etc. Your dog(s) will be spoiled and in good hands. I promise!! I am retired. So I have lots of availability to take care and love you pet. I can stay over, drop in or simply go on a walk or 2. I spoil any pet I am taking care of. With lots of love, belly rubs and kisses. Safety is my number 1 priority. I will ensure your pet is always taken care of in a safe and loving environment.
