“Mary was amazing! We contacted her to help watch our dogs while going to a family wedding. She came over the week before and met us and the dogs and just clicked immediately. We have the nicest German shepherds in the world but you never know if a new person meeting them will be nervous or not. She immediately seemed to read them and just loved on them right away, which made us feel like she was the right person for the job. She sent great pictures and detailed notes on her check ins with the dogs. We absolutely will be reaching out to her for help in the future!”


“Today was Chrystine’s first visit. She is very kind and took lots of notes during our meet and greet. I feel very comfortable with her at my home watching my baby girl. She’s very informative and my dog loves playing with her. I will definitely be booking her on a weekly basis. I would highly recommend her. Thank you”


“Kate is the BEST! Idefix loved every second of hanging out and playing in the yard! I’m so glad she is flexible to come by for regular visits and playtime at our house! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Thank you, Kate!”


“Kailie was amazing! Our cats were well looked after and we got lots of photos of them while we were away. Her notes and attention to details was appreciated and we will definitely book her again!”


About: I may not have dogs of my own, but I’ve been the go-to sitter for my sister’s and in-laws’ pups over the years. I’ve cared for my sister’s diabetic dog, following medication and feeding routines closely, and looked after my in-laws’ dogs while they were away on vacation—making sure they were walked, loved, and well cared for. I’m calm, reliable, and treat every dog like family. Whether your pup needs playtime, belly rubs, or a little extra medical attention, I’m here to help! Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I currently work four days a week and am available in the afternoons and evenings after work. I’m also free all day on Sundays and Mondays. I love spending my free time with animals—whether it’s walking, feeding, playing, or simply keeping them company. I’m reliable, flexible, and committed to providing consistent, loving care whenever I’m available. Although I live in Granville, I work in Queensbury, so I’m available in that area as well. When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow any instructions closely—whether it’s feeding times, walks, medications, or playtime—and make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I give them plenty of attention, keep their space clean, and send updates so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands. My goal is to treat your home with respect and your pet like family

“Kaylea did an excellent job for us with our three cats while we were away for three weeks. She kept in regular contact and we came home to find everything in great order. I highly recommend Kaylea and look forward to having her back again for future cat care.”


“Anastasia has been reliable and responsible and my dogs love her! She sends updates and beautiful pictures. My dogs have been happy and healthy when I get home. I will definitely be booking with her again!!”


“I reached out to Brittney at the last minute one evening and needed someone for the next day. She was great and responded quick to help out. She treated my dog amazing and would definitely recommend and will be reaching out to her again! Thank you!!”


About: Hi all! My name is Bryanna and I am 35 years old! I am a full time teacher just looking for a little extra to keep me busy! I decided to try pet sitting as I am a huge animal lover. I have owned English Mastiffs my entire life and really believe every animal has the capability to love and be loved! At home I live with three spoiled rotten pups. Cooper and Chloe are six. Coopy is a Husky Shepherd mix and Chlo Chlo is a Beagle Coonhound mix. We also have Diesel who is a 2 year old 210 pound English Mastiff. If I could quit my job to be with them all day, I would! Spending time with animals makes me happy and I know what it is life to leave your pet while you enjoy your life, so I wanted to help make that experience seamless and easy for you! I am excited to help you out and spend time with your sweet pets! I am off for the summer as I am teacher, so I am able to do drop in visits and walks weekly! It’s hard for pets to be home alone all day and I’d like to alleviate some of that from their owners! I take the upmost care of my pups. We walk everyday and they spend a lot of time outside playing and basking in the sun. During the summer we love our naps and extra treats.

About: I've been happily caring for animals, big and small, since childhood. I've always been relied on for long-term dog sitting while neighbors were out of town. Friends of mine with exotic pets, or pets with special needs, also rely on me to take care of their animals while they are busy. Similarly, I have work experience at a doggy daycare and a puppy school for about half of a year each. Both of these businesses practiced positive reinforcement and gentle training strategies. My family's two sweet dogs taught me the value of ensuring that pets are clean, healthy, and fulfilled. It makes such a huge difference in everyone's lives! My schedule is very open currently. I am flexible for the majority of the week, but Sundays are my day off. I also have class Monday evenings, but it is remote, so it does not necessarily interfere with house sitting. When first meeting dogs, I work patiently and generously with them to ensure they are comfortable with my presence. Throughout my visit, I use positive reinforcement strategies to ensure dogs stay comfortable and happy with their environment while I am present.

About: I have been taking care of animals for nearly a decade. I love the tiniest to the largest, indoor to outdoor. I will happily follow your routines and requests and care for your animals as if they were my own. I am the proud owners of four cats, two dogs, a lizard, and caged invertebrates. No animal too big or too small, I love them all. I build each day's routine around the jobs at hand, flexibility is my main attribute. I will go out of my way to follow your routine to keep your pet on schedule. I have one job that takes me away from the house that is a per diem, the full duration of which is only two and a half hours. I will do my best to make sure that if boarding your animal at my house I do not have that job coincide but if it does I have a safe spot to separate animals for that short period. I have a fenced in backyard and a large open concept house. I have the ability to separate your animal from my animals if that is requested. My personal animals are used to visitors, furry and human.

Pauline W.
“Polly has helped me with my dogs and cats for about 2 years. When I worked 12 hour shifts she came and let the dogs out and spent time with them in the yard and cleaned up after them. She then would take time to bring them in for treats and got down with them for petting time which they loved. Cats didn’t go out but they also received treats and pets. In that time I had adopted a dog from rescue that was very nervous about new people and Polly was very receptive to working with him that in no time he was happy to see her. I also work in rescue so I would have a fourth dog sometimes fostering and Polly is always up to helping and learning what each one needs. I hope you are lucky enough to have Polly help you with your pets”
