About: I’ve had animals throughout my entire life. When I was younger, my parents ran a boarding kennel and my father bred dogs. I grew up on a farm with about five horses, 35 dogs, several cats, a bird, lizards, fish, hermit crabs, etc. My father trained my brother and I to race sled dogs at a young age and we did that for several years along with horseback riding. With that being said, I have extensive experience with different types of animals, and I am confident that you’re fur baby will be in good hands and have the time of their life while under my supervision. Please feel free to reach out with any questions and I hope to hear from you soon! I am currently working at a private residence where I make my own hours , so I have plenty of time to take care of your baby! I can accommodate you and your pet(s)in whichever way you desire! I usually bring my little tuxedo cat with me on trips if it’s an overnight, but if you would rather me not, we can always work something out and discuss our options! (:

“Heather was amazing!! She took such good care of Mac, left our home in great condition and communicated proactively. Also, we were so appreciative that she provided care for the weekend short notice (less than 24 hrs). Highly recommend.”


“We couldn’t recommend Barbara highly enough! She did a wonderful job looking after our anxious dog and 2 cats while we were away. She was super responsive and sent us daily updates on how our fur babies were doing. Our dog loved her and did so well under her close eye. Barbara stayed in our home and left it spotless!”


“Clyanna has been so friendly and responsive from the first meet-and-greet. We trusted her while we went on vacation with our baby pup, Lola, and she did amazing. I have no hesitation in saying that Clyanna is the right choice!”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was seven. I’ve been riding horses for eight years and just love any animal I can be around. I will walk dogs, bathe them, feed them, sit them basically do anything. I’ve had many dogs I’ve watched in the past and everyone was satisfied. I go to work part time at a vet clinic in Albany NY. My weekends are usually free unless I have a half day shit at the clinic based on my schedule I can always make sure to get to your house and look after your pet at any time if available. i take care of my own animals with meticulous care and love. I have 3 dogs and 7 cats and 1 horse so i know everything there is to know about taking care of them

About: Hi, I’m Destiny, a lifelong pet lover with years of experience caring for both dogs and cats! I’ve had cats in my family since I was 8 and have had my own cat for almost 4 years. I’ve also cared for and walked all size dogs from a chihuahua to a great dane, including my own family dogs back in high school. I know how important it is to provide pets with personalized attention, exercise, and enrichment. Whether it’s a high-energy walk, a relaxing stroll, or playtime with your furry friend, I make sure every pet gets the care they deserve. I’m also experienced with leash training, enrichment activities, and handling larger dogs. I'm happy to go over any specific instructions or needs for your pet to make sure they get care you want and the love they deserve! I'm currently working a full time job and looking for some extra work to make ends meet. I'm available all weekends and early mornings or evenings until sunset through the week. I'm also in the Albany area and can absolutely make a mid-day walk work if that's what you or your pet needs! With one cat at home, I can absolutely accommodate other kitties overnight. Unfortunately, dog sitting is not an option for me at the moment but I'm willing to go the extra mile to drop in for visits, walks, and can crate or settle them down when leaving them. I know you love your furry friend and want to give them the best care, I’m here to help in whatever way I can!

“Ashley was great! She was available for a last minute pet sitting request and did a great job with our 2 dogs and 1 cat. They all loved Ashley. Definitely recommend her!”


“Allie was wonderful! We had her do house sitting while away for a week. She was tidy in the house and so responsive to any communications. Dependable and trust worthy. She took great care of the pups and spent a lot of time with them. Would definitely hire her again and recommend her to anyone looking!”


About: I’ve owned dogs all of my life and have worked with many different breeds of different ages with different needs. Open to different schedules and care needs. I want to put your mind at ease knowing your pets are safe and cared for with me! I work a full-time job from 7:30-3:30. I’m able to do drop ins before and after work. I can provide walks and play time, or if preferred, some relaxed company. I provide a safe and fun environment to settle any fears you or your dog might have with pet-sitters. I have a very calm and friendly demeanor that puts people/pets at ease.


“Natasha was wonderful! Our boy gets separation anxiety, and he was calm and happy when we returned from a long weekend away. We will definitely book again!”

About: Hi! I’m Kristy and I would love to meet your pet! I have 8 years of professional pet care experience, as well as lifetime ownership of dogs and cats! Your pet’s comfort & ease while you’re away is my top priority! I strive to maintain your pet’s routine and environment while you are away, while being a relaxed and gentle presence for them. I love providing physical activity and mental stimulation to pets, whether that be through walks, hikes, or playing with toys. I have experience with breeds ranging from small Beagles to extra large Saint Bernards and all sizes in between, as well as puppies and senior dogs. I’d love to be your pets new best friend! I currently pet-sit part time and try to organize my schedule to best fit a client’s needs. I am able to stay overnight every day of the week and provide potty or exercise breaks every 4-5 hours (at most). When caring for pets in your home, I will treat your house with respect and keep a tidy environment for everyone’s benefit. I will try my best to stick to your pet’s normal schedule so they can be at peace while you’re away.
