Pet Sitting in Schenectady

“Gillian is amazing. She checked in for an hour on my puppies and was patient and caring. She was on time, sent GREAT pics and reported back to me at the end which made me feel completely at ease. She is such a kind soul and both my doggies had a great time. I think they behaved better for her than for me! Thank you, I am so happy we found you 🩷”

“Sidney did a great job taking care of our pets while we were on vacation! Her pictures were the highlight of our trip! Highly recommend as caring and trustworthy. 😊”

“Best sitter we've had from Rover so far. (We have talked to several sitters, we liked and were highly qualified). Scott was above and beyond. He had Gremlin be a lap kitty (which he isn't usually, unless he'sstressed) and gave him extra love. It was Gremlin's first time w/o his people since he lost his housemate Dany. Will definitely be our first go to from now on.”

About: Hello there, fellow pet parents! I’m Taylor and I can’t wait to meet your furry, feathery, and scaly companions! I have spent as much of my life as I can remember caring for and being around all types of animals. Honestly being around animals just makes me the happiest I could be. I have 5 rescue animals of my own! 2 dogs, 2 Cats, and a bird! All of which I rescued not from a shelter but by very happy coincidences! I work part time at a boarding facility so I’m with animals not just at home but at work as well!! I work remote for my full time job half the week so my availability is pretty open. As I work at a boarding facility I have a wealth of experience when it comes to a wide verity of pets. I understand the importances of feeding times, administration of medication, and routines in general. Your pets health and safety is my top priority. I know when I am away from my animals I love getting updates so I believe communication is key. I love sending photos and updates so when you’re not there you can still feel with them! I am dedicated to providing the service that I would want for my pet family. Your pets happiness is my top priority! I am very excited to meet your pets! I work remote half of the week so I have plenty of time to spend with your animals on the other days I can be there before and after my shift. I will treat your dog and your home as if it were my own. I follow the established routine provided by the owner to ensure a stress free and fun time

“This was our first time using Rover and we count ourselves lucky to have had Nadia to take care of our two Siamese cats in our home. She was terrific in communicating how things were going each day and kept us updated (and stress-free!) with photos from her visits. She even cleaned up the occasional kitty barf and litter mess around the pan! Aside from doing all of these wonderful things to keep our pets feeling cared for in their own home, she is a lovely person to work with. We hope she'll want to work with us again!”

“Highly recommended, best of the best! Will always book with her!”

“We were so worried about leaving our new rescue alone for more than 5 hours and then we went to rover and I found Madeline 10/10 she is so caring and loving to the dogs it clearly comes natural to her she followed everything down to the last detail perfectly. Our dog used to bark for hours when we left … after she is with her my dog seems so content and happy. 1000% recommend!!!”

Cambri E.

“This was our first time using Rover, our first time leaving our dog alone and we could not be happier with Danica! She is an outstanding pet sitter. She is caring, communicative and professional. Our 6 month old puppy was very comfortable with her and Danica was sure to take her out several times during her drop-in visit and sent us a few pics too! We look forward to having her pet sit or drop-in in the future?”

“Elizabeth is awesome to work with. She completely tailors care to what is best for us and our pets. From extra long walks with our shy pooper to last minute bookings she has been incredible.”

Ashley T.

“Megan is wonderful! You can tell she loves what she does and my dog so enjoys spending time with her. It makes being away from my fur baby much easier.”

Susan C.

“Lianna was wonderful with our cat while we were away! We so appreciated getting pictures every day, knowing he was in good hands. Thank you, Lianna!”

Andrew E.

“Adrianna did a couple drop in visits while we were out of town on vacation to hang out with our cat. Adrianna was amazing with our Zoey, giving Zoey the attention she deserves while we were gone, and was prompt and friendly to communicate with. We plan to hire her again for other times we need someone to stay with our cat or dog!”

About: I have 15+ years of experience with dogs, cats, rodents. and a few years professionally as I worked in an animal shelter feeding animals, cleaning cages and cat boxes, light housekeeping and laundry & keeping animals company. I’m available Monday-Thursday I have an open schedule currently. I have a couple re-occurring clients in the afternoon that I walk but I can work around that schedule for your pupper or kitty! I prefer to take care of the clients precious fur baby in the owners home. I offer dog walking, drop in visits in the clients home if they are at work or out of town.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the level of individualized care and attention I give every dog. I don’t just “watch” pets — I truly get to know their personalities, routines, and needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I have experience training puppies, including basic commands, leash manners, crate training, and reinforcing positive behaviors. I’m also confident caring for senior dogs who may need a slower pace, extra patience, or mobility support. Whether your pup is high-energy and playful or calm and cuddly, I adapt to their unique temperament. I prioritize clear communication, regular photo updates, and creating a stress-free experience for both pets and owners. Your dog’s safety, happiness, and well-being always come first. Pet care is a natural part of my daily and weekly routine — I intentionally structure my schedule to make sure I have dedicated, unhurried time for each dog. Whether it’s morning walks, midday check-ins, playtime, feeding schedules, or evening cuddles, I plan my days around the pets in my care so they receive consistent attention and companionship. I build flexibility into my week to accommodate different energy levels and needs, from active pups who love longer walks to seniors who prefer shorter, gentler outings. Because I prioritize reliability and routine, your dog can count on consistent care, and you can count on dependable communication and updates. Caring for pets isn’t something I squeeze in — it’s something I genuinely make space for. In My Home: When pets stay with me, I create a calm, safe, and welcoming environment that feels as close to their normal routine as possible. I follow your feeding schedules, potty routines, exercise needs, and any specific instructions you provide. Dogs receive plenty of supervised playtime, walks, mental stimulation, and affection. I’m mindful of introductions (if other pets are present), keep the space clean and secure, and make sure every dog has a comfortable area to rest and relax. In Your Home: When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their usual routine to reduce stress. I stick closely to feeding times, walks, and preferred activities. I also respect your home by keeping things tidy, bringing in mail if requested, and ensuring everything is secure before I leave. My goal is to make your absence feel as smooth and normal as possible for your pet. For both services, I prioritize safety, communication, and regular photo updates so you always know how your pet is doing. I treat every animal as if they were my own — with patience, attentiveness, and lots of love.

“Kimberly was fantastic, she kept me updated and provided as much detail as possible throughout the visits to my fur baby. She was understanding of my pet’s needs and made it simple for me to feel at ease while away”
