“Isaiah is an amazing dog walker!! He is very friendly and super reliable! I never had to worry about my dog not being well taken care of. I can’t say I’ve felt the same with other dog walkers we have used. Goose also loves him and enjoys their walks! I would highly recommend him!”


About: I’ve had pets all my life and have raised a dog since he was a puppy. I have been a trusted pet sitter for years and tend to get along well with pets and have experience with all sizes of dogs. I work full time, but can work from home when needed. If there are any days I have to go into the office, I will be sure to let you know ahead of time. Caring for pets sometimes differs between homes. I abide by all house rules, give regular updates on pets, and am happy to give them all the love and attention they need.

“Anne is always wonderful with my pets, she always does a great job sending a detailed description of her visit along with pictures. I always look forward to her updates and I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.”

“Adriana has been excellent! very responsive and communicative - it's been a joy to work with her and I trust her with my boy completely (an 80 lbs. 8 year old dog who loves all his smells and peeing on everything!).”


About: I’ve had dogs and taken care of dogs majority of my life. From miniature poodle to German Shepard. I treat our furry friends like family. I currently am a registered nurse who works nights shift. My schedule is all over the place at times but I do get it about a month in advance. I’m part time which means 64 hours bi-weekly I don’t force the pets to like me. I let them come to me otherwise I believe it can be traumatic. I do tend to have treats to gain their trust.

“Janyl was wonderful with my dog Joy. She was always on time and left detail messages along with several pictures after each time she walked Joy. I would use Janyl again”


“Averi was very easy to work with. She is flexible and understanding. When I booked her for four-days, then had to cancel due to a change in circumstances, she immediately responded and helped process the refund. The one day that she took our dogs out for a walk, she walked them for a mile, ensured they had food and water, and she even helped mop up their accidents. When we came home to greet our dogs, they were much calmer than normal. I believe this is due to the time, attention, and care that Averi put into her duties. If we ever need a dog-walker, again, in the future, we will consider Averi first!”


About: I’ve cared for many of my own pets, more than just dogs and cats. Family and family friends have relied on me to watch their pets while on vacay. One of which is on 2 meds morning and night. With puppies I can do simple training I’m currently unemployed, so my availability is open to care for the fur babies that can’t do it all for themselves. Your furbabies routine becomes my routine My fur baby, Milo gets fresh water daily, refill food as needed, scoop litter every other day. And when it’s time to clean up after him everything gets a good wash especially the litter box because I myself cannot let that get disgusting. He gets his nails trimmed by me, and bathed from time to time

About: Volunteering at shelters and owning an array of pets throughout my life helps me understand fully how to care for a creature. I've never turned away an animal and have worked with nursing birds, rodents, bunnies, and kittens back to health after rescuing them. I also love working with exotic pets like amphibians or reptiles, but mainly I board and walk dogs! I'm very good at reading body language and training stubborn dogs, and working with animals full time would be a dream career. Right now I'm studying premedicine / ecology at UA and taking care of animals over the summers to save money for school! Going to Albany on the 24th! Until then I can board, but afterwards I'm switching my location and removing boarding from my services as I'll be on campus. Large yard with electric fence and 2 extra collars for a medium dog. Home with 3 accessible stories, dog food, treats, litter box, toys and plenty of enrichment. Dog beds and human beds for sleeping, large safe neighborhood for walks!!

About: I've had small dogs, large dogs, puppies and high maintenance senior dogs that needed extra care and patience.

I can stop by and give your dogs potty time, walks, treats and/or meals. I can administer meds if needed. I can come and go as needed.

About: Hi, my name is Micayla, and I love animals! I have owned dogs for 7 years, but worked with them for much longer. I currently have a super quirky Cavalier puppy named Sadie Pumpkin Waffles. We have completely obedience training, so I know how to keep control of your dog while on a leash, and how to give/reinforce basic cues. I believe we will have a lot of fun while hanging out! My schedule is quite flexible, as I currently work freelance. I can usually accommodate last minute bookings, however I do need to be home to tend to my own dog at least every 8hrs. While conducting drop-in visits, your dogs will get plenty of play time, pets, and snuggles. (And hopefully treats!) They will be let out for potty breaks, and/or taken on walks, then brought inside so that they can continue on with their day.

Along with being a dedicated pet sitter, I’m also a yoga instructor and a songwriter, constantly striving to grow these professional paths. One of the best parts of my transition is the flexibility in my schedule, which allows me to offer personalized care to each of your pets. Whether it’s a leisurely stroll, a hike in nature, or a playful afternoon indoors, I can adapt to your pets’ needs and make sure they get the attention and love they deserve. I take pride in offering luxury-level care for your beloved pets. During house-sitting stays, I ensure they receive ample attention and playtime to support their mental and physical well-being. As an avid hiker, I make it a priority to get outside daily so with your permission, your pets will enjoy plenty of exercise and fresh air under my care. To provide the highest standard of care and give you complete peace of mind, I kindly ask that any special care instructions be shared with me prior to my stay and documented in detail. This allows me to tailor my approach and ensure your pets' needs are met with the utmost attention and professionalism.

As your pet sitter, it is my responsibility to ensure that all animals in the home remain safe and well during my stay.

Amanda C.
“We recently needed a dog sitter on short notice, and we were so fortunate to find Amanda. She was incredibly professional, respectful, and went above and beyond to care for our dogs. Before we left, she asked thoughtful questions to understand our pets' likes and dislikes, ensuring she could cater to their individual needs. She was especially patient with our dog who has anxiety, providing extra comfort and reassurance. Throughout her time with them, she maintained excellent communication, providing regular updates and pictures. Our home was left spotless, and she followed all our instructions perfectly regarding feeding and potty breaks. Most importantly, our dogs absolutely adored her. We highly recommend Amanda and will definitely use her services again in the future!”

“I have known Ashley for a long time and know she has grown up her entire life caring for animals. I have watched her treat animals properly and respectfully giving them the exact care that they need. She is very patient with any animal and is willing to do anything to protect any animal even if it is not her own. She also has history of introducing new animals to one another in the same household showing her patience and willingness to work with animals, especially if said animals need time to get along with one another. I greatly recommend Ashley as a pet caregiver.”

“Tommy was an incredible pet sitter while my husband and I left the country for a week. He gave our fur babies so much love and affection while we were away, plus he sent us photos every so often so we didn't miss them too much. Above and beyond, Tommy alerted us that our pipes seemed to be freezing (we were gone over New Year's) and proactively contacted us and helped us avoid a disaster that we would have no idea was even happening had he not been there. Couldn't recommend enough!”
