House Sitting in Schodack Landing

About: I am an active animal lover experienced caring for both older dogs and puppies, even at the same time. I have experience giving meds and helping pets with limited mobility. Puppy training experience too! Cats and pocket pets also welcome. I rescue dogs as a volunteer, and pets are my passion! Included: brushing, medication administration, hiking, kongs, potty training, basic command training for puppies. If desired, I can include a play date with my border collie, too. Young Dog: 2 hikes a day and midday play session. Older Dog: 2 walks as mobility allows. Or 2 big snuggle sessions with brushing and meds. I am a teacher off for the summer and available for house sitting, drop ins, and dog hiking. I have my own dogs cared for by my family at home, so I can arrange for playdates! I follow the rules you set out and keep to the routine your dog is used to. I use positive reinforcement training only, and I have no problem with leash pulling, prey drive etc. I work with these issues using training treats as approved by you!

“Jenna & Aidan must have done an excellent job taking care of my cat as she didn't yell at me for hours upon my return home!! She was as happy as could be. J&A were very responsive, and timely. I appreciated their willingness to meet up a head of time to see the lay of the land. I would use them again in a heart beat.”

About: I have a lifelong love of all critters great and small! I've cared for dogs since I was knee high, even starting my own dog sitting service when I was a kid. I've had puppies, dogs, and seniors under my care. I approach all dogs as unique individuals with their own needs, wants, and boundaries. I'm looking for work and to get out of the house. My availability is wide open, I'm ready to work around your schedule or particulars. I'm a responsible and college educated person, and understand your pet is part of your family. I treat every home and pet as if they were my own.

“Alyssa is great! My pets and home were well cared for. My dog gets pretty anxious when I go out of town but he seemed very calm and relaxed when I came back. He seemed like he had a great time with Alyssa!”

“Danielle took great care of my pup while I was away. Highly recommend if you are looking for a reliable and trustworthy pet sitter!! I will be using again!”

“Our experience with Jessica was absolutely amazing. We were gone for a week, and she took such incredible care of our two dogs. Taking care of two dogs can be a lot, but Jessica handled everything so well and made the whole process stress-free for us She kept us updated regularly with pictures and messages, and it was clear the dogs were getting tons of love, attention, and care every single day. One of our dogs is usually cautious around new people and was completely adamant about not warming up to anyone at first but by mid week, they had become best buddies. Seeing that level of trust and comfort honestly meant so much to us. When we got home, the dogs were so happy, relaxed, and attached to her routine that it actually took them almost 10 minutes to realize we were back! That alone says everything about how comfortable and cared for they felt during the stay. We’re very grateful for the care and attention she gave our pups and would gladly trust her again in the future. Highly recommend”

“Chantel was amazing. We have 2 cats that need regular care and medication, as well as a rat who was being medicated too. We went away and came home to cats so calm and relaxed it was like we never left. The house and litter was possibly even cleaner than we left if. She sent regular pictures and updates. I would recommend Chantel to anyone; especially if they have high maintenance pets.”

“Jillian responded quickly to our emails and did a wonderful job with our pets. We would highly recommend her!”

“Natasha was amazing. She met with us before sitting for us and made sure she knew everything she needed to know beforehand. She was very gentle and kind with our girls and patient with our senior dog. She sent us pics and let us know how they were doing. Very trustworthy in our home and respected our wishes of not having anyone over (which we’ve had problems with in the past with other dog sitters.) We will definitely be using her again as our regular sitter.”

Heather R.

“I have two cats that are very picky about who they will be around and I selected Eydid because their profile shows how passionate they are with cats. It was my first time using Rover or any sitter and I was definitely anxious about it. Eydid is amazing - he took the time to get to know my cats, sit with them, and play with them. They love Eydid and that says a lot! Eydid was very respectful of my home and provided me with great updates and pics & videos of the cats having fun. 10/10 would select again. In fact I already have booked Eydid for another session when I am traveling out of the country :D”

“Elisha was great. She wasn't intimidated by Arlo's epilepsy which was a huge relief to me. She seemed immediately at ease with the boys and they with her. When I got home my dogs were calm, happy and not anxious so I could tell that they were indeed comfortable with her. I will definitely book with Elisha again.”

Sharon P.

“Anna was so good with my puppy! She was patient (he’s a baby land shark!) and attentive and took great care of him while I was gone. I will absolutely rebook with her! :)”

Jasenia C.

“I had such a great experience with Joe! He kept me up to date with how my dog was doing while I was away. He reached out with any questions or concerns that came up. He put my mind at ease knowing my dog would be in good hands while I was gone. Definitely will be booking him again in the future!”

Dominique S.

“Pets were happy and fed and my house was in great shape when I got home. Thank you for allowing us a worry free getaway!”

“Katherine did a fantastic job caring for my stubborn Great Dane. She made us both feel comfortable. She’s very caring and compassionate, as well as Punctual, flexible with her schedule, and tidy! I came home to a clean home just as I left it, with no type of mess left behind. She really cares about animals and it shows.”

Brittany D.

“It is challenging to leave our anxious dog when we go away. Joyce made it so much easier! She is very thoughtful and went above and beyond to understand our dog and give her lots of attention. She sent us the sweetest daily updates. Also, it was very clear when we got home that she had taken very good care of our house. Joyce is now on our short list of favorite dog sitters. We will have her dog/house sit again without question.”

Leah W.

“Kenda is a wonderful at this job. She really went the extra mile to become friends with my dog, not just the person that shows up to complete the task. This was especially important because I have an anxious and reactive rescue dog that takes some coaxing in order to trust people. Highly recommended and definitely my go-to dog walker going forward.”

Marc A.

“Second time booking with Freedom. Our fur babies really enjoy being able to stay at home, they enjoy having her stay overnight at the house. Great communication and really cares about the fur babies”

Nobu T.

“Lauren is great with our pups! Very reliable and communicative.”

Marcy C.

“Our dogs love, Taylor! She took them for walks and sat with them for extra pets at night. She communicated with us and kept us posted on how they were doing. Thank you for giving us the peace of mind to know our pups were cared for while we were away, you will book with Taylor again!”
