Dog Sitting Scotchtown

About: Hi! My name is Sarahi, and I'm a gal who has always had a passion for loving and working with animals. I have 9 years of pet sitting experience, as I've been pet sitting since I was fourteen years old, and haven't stopped since. I love animals of any size or personality or quirk - they're all worthy of love and attention in my eyes! However, those who know me know that I have a soft spot for dogs :) Neighbors, friends and family members have all trusted me to feed, walk and care for their precious fur-babies. I have experience caring for doggos of all ages- from puppies to seniors. Depending on location, duration, and/or what you prefer, I can plan to stay with them overnight or just drop in to spend time during the day as needed. I'm all about doing what is most comfortable for your fur-baby! Gentle compassion and enthusiastic care are standards I always uphold. I value clear communication and honesty with pet parents. My attention to detail helps me ensure that every pet I care for gets the individualized attention they deserve. My goal is to make sure they feel loved and safe in their own homes while you are away. I love to take them on walks, help groom and bathe them, make sure they are fed, help with medication if necessary and of course - play and give them lots of love. I can also just lay around with them if that’s more their speed. Whatever their needs, I’m here to help while you’re away! :) I can offer plenty of time to dedicate to your pet. I currently work from home three days a week and have a very flexible schedule, making it super easy to bring my work to the home I sit for and attend to your pet's needs. I spend my days off participating in volunteer work mostly in the mornings, but I always ensure to be back in time to take care of them. I am unable to board at my house but am more than willing to drop in or stay at yours :)- whatever makes you and your pet feel most comfortable! In both cases, I make sure to follow pet parents’ instructions very carefully. I will ensure that all areas that we are playing or walking in are either fenced in or they are always leashed. When I’m away, they can be crated if needed and I will ensure they are let out before I leave. Pets in my care are always supervised. I make sure to regularly check on them when things seem too quiet, and am attentive to food, water, and potty needs. I provide a comfortable and familiar environment for your pet, sticking to their regular routines. I also give lots of attention and love to keep them feeling safe and happy. After years of house sitting, I am also used to existing respectfully in someone else’s space. I am tidy and always try to make your home as clean as it was when you left before I leave. I am a quiet neighbor and will ensure that all doors are locked/security systems are set when needed. I make sure to stay in constant communication with you, sending updates and photos so you can feel at ease knowing your pet is in great hands!

“Nicole did drop ins for my two dogs for a long weekend. She was very attentive and thorough at keeping you informed on how your dogs are doing. We are repeat customers and would highly recommend her!”

About: I grew up on a dairy farm with all sorts of animals around. I have had many dogs, cats, parrots, chickens, rabbits, rats, and horses over the years. I have a degree in Equestrian Science and have taken care of animals my entire adult life. I have always been an avid hiker as well and love to take the pups on walks around the area. I currently own 3 dogs, a parrot, and 2 chickens and will give your animals the same love and attention that I give my own! I'm currently working part time and so have plenty of time to play with your fur babies. I am currently available for house sitting, drop in visits and dog walking. If your dogs get along with mine I might be able to do boarding as well. I have a dog door at my house with a fenced in yard along with 5 acres of fields to walk in. When coming to your home, I use my deep knowlege of dogs, cats, and other animals to keep your animals happy in their own home where your pets are MOST comfortable. They have the comfort of knowing they are safe in a place where they can learn to trust me and we can develop a bond so I can give your pets the same level of love and care as I would give my own pets.

“Jacklyn was great! She always sent photos and played with my cat when she stopped in. I felt like my cat was very well taken care of and her communication was great.”

“Amberly was GREAT. Knew exactly what to do while caring for my 2 cats while I was away for 10 days. Very responsive and good communication. Will re-book!”

“Samantha is fantastic! She took care of our three cats for a weekend. She was reliable, responsible, and very responsive and communicative with her updates. She even helped make sure the cats stuck to their own bowls during mealtime– a tricky task! We needed someone to take care of our cats last minute, and we are so grateful that Samantha was able to accommodate us on such short notice! Thank you Samantha for providing us with confidence to go away knowing our pets were very well cared for. We will definitely be booking with her in the future! I highly recommend Samantha for any and all pet needs.”

“Used Kamille for the first time for my puppy for a drop in visit. She was quick to schedule a meet and greet once I contacted her, I could tell she was good with animals as soon as I met her. The visit went very well, she did everything that was asked and I could tell my puppy was very happy when I got home. The report card was detailed and let me know exactly how things went.”

“My booking with Jaylin was last minute I must say he was professional. I will be using him again.”

About: Hi! I’m a devoted dog mom to Millie, my Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, and I bring that same hands-on care to every dog I look after. Raising Millie has taught me how much dogs thrive on consistency — reliable potty breaks, patient leash time, and reading their cues. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules and specific dietary needs, and I love a good sniff-led walk that lets a dog explore at their own pace. I’m patient, observant, and treat every dog’s home and routine like my own. Expect close attention to your instructions, thoughtful updates, and a sitter who genuinely loves the work. Looking forward to meeting your dog! 🐾 Pet care is already woven into my everyday routine — I’m home with Millie for feedings, potty breaks, and walks multiple times a day, so caring for a dog on a consistent schedule is second nature to me. I’m happy to build drop-in visits around your dog’s existing routine, whether that means a quick midday potty break or a longer afternoon walk. Since I’m mainly offering drop-in visits and walks, I focus on keeping things consistent with what your dog already knows — following their regular schedule, feeding routine, and any specific instructions closely. In my own home, I’m hands-on with Millie’s daily care, from meals to sniff-led walks, and I bring that same patience and attention to detail into your home so your dog feels comfortable and looked after.

“Sara was awesome! Very informative and kind!”

Anyone who knows me, knows I light up the moment I see a dog, and I love the connection I quickly build with almost every animal I meet. I strive for meticulous attention to detail and upmost care. As a highly sensitive person, I am very attuned to how your pet is feeling and aim to make them feel comfortable and happy. I’d love to become your pet’s new friend!

Visiting clients homes, I am happy to offer feedings and/or medications, tidy any pet-related messes, and go on potty walks local to the client’s location. Always included: scritches, playtime and treats!

“Michael took care of our dog for 2 weeks while we were on vacation. We had him do drop in visits twice a day and he was amazing. He also watered our outdoor plants and did anything else we asked! He was responsible and very caring. Our dog absolutely loves him! We will call on him every time we go away. Thank you, Michael, for taking such good care of "our girl"!”
