About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities for as long as I can remember. From my own pets to neighbors, friends, and family, I’ve always been the go-to person for walking, feeding, bathing, and giving animals the love and attention they deserve. Caring for pets isn’t just something I do — it’s something I genuinely enjoy and take pride in. I’m a proud mini Goldendoodle parent, and my pup absolutely loves meeting new furry friends, which makes hosting and socializing dogs even more fun. I understand that every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their routines, preferences, and personalities to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. I offer reliable and attentive care, including walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, and plenty of snuggles. I’m committed to keeping your pet’s environment clean, stress-free, and structured, just like at home. I have a flexible schedule and work in a way that allows me to be present and available for the pets in my care, so your dog or cat will never feel rushed or overlooked. Whether your pet needs lots of playtime, a calm companion, or extra patience and TLC, I’m here to provide it. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and well-being are always my top priority — I treat every pet as if they were my own. 🐶💕 I’m currently working a full-time job where I work from home and have extreme flexibility. My mini golden doodle, Daphne, gets along with all dogs and is looking for a friend. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I provide a calm, clean, and loving environment where pets can feel secure and relaxed. I carefully supervise all playtime, keep doors and gates secure, and make sure pets are always in safe, pet-friendly spaces. I take time to build trust with every pet by moving at their pace, using positive reinforcement, and giving them plenty of reassurance and attention. Whether your pet is playful, shy, or somewhere in between, I make sure they feel respected, understood, and cared for. I follow all feeding instructions, medication schedules, and house rules exactly as provided, and I keep pet areas clean, fresh, and comfortable throughout their stay. I also monitor for any changes in behavior or health and communicate with you right away if anything seems off. Most importantly, I treat every pet like family — with patience, kindness, and lots of love — so you can feel confident your pet is in safe, caring hands while you’re away. 🐾

“Cleo had so much fun at Kathy’s! This was Cleo’s first time at her place, so I was nervous. My dog is very energetic and can be a handful. Kathy kept me updated with pictures throughout the day, which I really appreciated! We will definitely be bringing Cleo back to Kathy’s soon.”

“Left my small dog with Julia for the entire day and was impressed with her setup. Price was very reasonable and would not hesitate to have Julia watch my dog the next time I'm visiting Saratoga. Thanks!”

“This was our first experience with Rover and our first sitter for our “little” pup. Lauren was great. Very communicative & friendly. Her ranch was such a great experience for our dog with so much to explore. Thank you Lauren”

About: I have taken care of animals my whole life. Been boarding and running daycare full time for 10+ years. I have studied dog behaviors, CPR trained, used to train and have spent my life learning dogs. Part of my business is even making pet products like bow ties, bandanas, toys, healthy treats, signs and organic paw wax. I run my boarding and daycare full time. It is what i live every day. I board 7 days a week and run daycare Wed-Fri We have a large dog specific room which daycare is run out of (while boarding your dog can join daycare for no extra cost) this room has a dog door that leads to the large fenced in yard. Once daycare is complete or dog dependent, the door comes open and the pups join our pack (2) snuggling on the couch and begging in the kitchen 😉

About: I am a guy who loves to dog sit! My experience has been mostly with small sized dogs to whom I have given great care and attention. Dogs love me! I enjoy seeing their happy faces! Some of the dogs in my photos were in my care for over a decade. They loved their time with Uncle Eric. I own a small dog and medium sized cat who get along with other dogs. Please make sure your animal can get along with both. I can be flexible with my availability because I work from home. Each pet gets complimentary bottled spring water to drink and their choice of treats along with their regular pet food. Your pet will be treated like a king or queen in their home away from home. Try me! You and your furry friend will like me. I work from home so I have plenty of time to pet sit and accommodate your fur kid in my home with lots of attention and affection. I can take care of dogs in my home for visits with prior knowledge of the dogs health, care plan, feeding and elimination schedule. I am very trustworthy and my home is climate controlled.

“Samantha was great with my 10 month old cardigan welsh corgi. Although she’s timid and more reserved when I’m not around, Samantha managed to get her out of her shell by the end of the day. Would highly recommend, I plan to be a repeat customer for sure!”

“Carolyn watched my pup while I was in the area visiting with a friend. She was super easy to communicate with leading up to and during the the stay. Carolyn was so nice and made me feel comfortable leaving Charlie with her. I highly recommend her! Thanks Carolyn!”

“Emily was an absolute pleasure to work with! She was very accommodating with our travel schedule. We instantly felt like we made the right choice booking with her from the moment she opened the door. Sofia and her dog Perry seemed to have a great time hanging out together. Will make sure to book again with Emily when out this way!”

About: I have been around and been loving animals my entire life. I grew up with dogs, but just recently adopted one of my own so I am right there with all of you in learning the ropes of pet parenting! I have veterinary and dog training experience, so please bring me all the dogs or cats with all the needs they may have! every animal deserves care catered to them and every parent deserves to have someone who understands their pets for when life gets busy. I am in classes Tues-Thurs, but am free and actively looking for work every other day of the week so please be in touch with me! I handle feeding, playing outside and inside, walks, litter box cleaning, training, and of course lots and lots of snuggles<3 I will clean up after them and make sure to keep your home just as you left it

“Great communication, and great location if you are going to an event at the Saratoga Springs Performing Arts Center. Our dog even became friends with Tracey’s cat.”

Ellen F.

“Sierra took great care of my elderly dog. He was so content when I picked him up that he didn’t want to go home. She kept him separated from the other dogs, but in the same room, so he could see and interact with his new friends without any risk to him physically. My little potato really enjoyed his time there and I’ll be bringing him back!”

“Erika was wonderful with our dog Winston and she was so easy to work with. Winston has such a fun day playing with her home doggos and came home tired and happy! A great experience and would love to use her services again! Highly recommend!👍👍”

We appreciate all your extra efforts in making us feel comfortable, and your warm demeanor. We can’t thank you enough, and on top of it all G was given an adorable take home bag with goodies! 💕”
