House Sitting in Skidmore

“Cheri was a wonderful sitter! She filled in last minute when we had another sitter cancel on us, which was very helpful. She was communicative and our girls seemed happy and healthy when we got home. She left our house in great shape. We will definitely contact her again!”

About: I’ve been a lifelong "dog guy" and have spent years caring for the pets of friends, family, and neighbors. As the saying goes, "There are no strangers here; only dog friends you haven't yet met." I’m an expert at making dogs feel loved and secure while their parents are away. I find that exercise and companionship make for happier fur friends. I am a freelancer, which allows me to be very punctual and reliable for morning, mid-day check-ins, or afternoon walks. I understand how hard it is to leave your pet, so I like to send updates and fun photos so you never feel out of the loop. I’m happy to help with: *Standard neighborhood walks/jogs *Drop-in visits for potty breaks and playtime. *Feeding and refreshing water bowls. Attuned to dogs with diet restrictions *Transporting your four-legged loved one to parks (example: Greenbury Point, Quiet Waters Park) *Transporting to the groomer, vet appointments I treat every dog I care for as if they were my own. I'd love to meet you and your pup soon! I have great flexibility in the mornings and afternoons. Mon- Friday Morning: 5:00 am - 2:00 pm Evening: 3:30 pm-9:00 pm Saturday-Sunday 5:30 am - 9:00 pm Care in my home: I have a large fenced yard, great for playing catch, if you require morning or afternoon care away from your home. Care at your home, where most pups prefer, I can follow your family's routine: potty breaks, exercise level.

“Jamie is so great with my dogs! She reached out a few days before her stay to confirm details and showed up as promised and sent pictures and updates each day. She even made me a welcome home banner from the dogs, that was a sweet treat! I'm glad she is taking care of my babies for my next couple of trips and hope she is available for anymore that I may have. She truly is a gem!!”

“Delaney was amazing with our energetic 8-month old puppy! She was very communicative, on time, and was willing to accommodate us coming home later than expected. We came home to a very happy and tired puppy!”

“Jerad did an awesome job with Samson. Followed the instructions perfectly and was a great friend to our little guy. Took him on walks and sent lots of updates. Would definitely recommend!”

“Jean did an excellent job watching our 15 year old shih tzu. He’s an old guy with many medical needs so leaving him is stressful, but she gave us constant updates so our minds were at ease during the entire week. She definitely gave our boy lots of love and it was so reassuring to know she was here. Lots of picture and video updates, and she left the place sparkling clean. We’ll definitely be using her services again in the future if need be! 😊”

“Karen took wonderful care of our dogs, Sam and Tito, for a full week while we were on vacation. She was incredibly responsive, always sending updates and photos when we asked, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear our boys were happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. She also left our home in perfect condition, which we really appreciated. We would absolutely book with Karen again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful sitter!”

“Owen was fantastic. Not only was he responsive but the dogs were well taken care of. They were walked, fed, played with, and given a lot of love. While he was watching the pups he also kept the house clean. I got daily pictures ands updates which helped to put my mind at ease about my pups while I was on vacation. I will use Owen again”

About: I have worked alongside my mom who has been with Rover for 8 years! I took care of my own dog in my college dorm for a year as well! I’m currently a student at AACC and I’m working on weekend at a restaurant! Most days, I work on schoolwork and hangout with my own dogs at home! I try to take my dog out every hour to two hours because she loves being outside! I try to give her fresh water every few hours and she is feed twice a day! We also go on walks when it’s nice out!

“Justine did a great job with my crazy crew and provided timely updates with super fast communication. I also appreciated her being available on relatively short notice. Would definitely reach out to her again for future needs!”

Lisa R.

“Ava is always great with our pup Haze! He's a handful and she is a pro. She also handled a household emergency for us while we were away and we couldn't be more grateful!”

About: From an early age I would take care of my dog by giving him walks and baths etc. I have dog sit for people over night at their house as well as walked other peoples dogs. Im currently a college student home for the summer and am working part time so I have plenty of free time to take care of your pets. I’m available for dog walking and pet sitting throughout the week. I like to give dogs lots of long walks to get their energy out. Also, I like playing with them and snuggling with them. :)

“This was our first time having Emma house sit with our two pups. She was fantastic! Everything went smoothly and we loved that she spent time with them, not just dropping in and out. We already have her booked for another job.”

Dawn R.

“Michael was great with our dog and two cats while we were out of town. It was very clear to us that everyone was happy and well cared for. We also loved all the pics and updates. We highly recommend Michael and plan to continue using him to help take care of our crew in the future.”
