“Jose did an amazing job with Marley! I was able to leave an entire week without having to worry once. Was always on time and walked my dog to the park every time. Marley loved Jose, so much so Marley was playing fetch with sticks which I’ve never seen him do! Jose also took amazing pictures at every check in”
“This was my first time leaving my dog alone for multiple nights and I was very nervous, but Stephanie put my mind at ease immediately. From her photos she sent of her visits with Marcy, I knew Marcy was in great hands and so happy! Stephanie was super professional, always right on time and great at communicating. Will be using her again for any future trips!”
“Jessica was amazing at taking care of my two cats! She was responsive to messages, did thorough check ins, and was someone I trusted to leave my pets with. I would 100% book her again in the future!!”
“We were first time rover users for our cat Selene. Amanda was very kind and patient with us as I was all over the place with our trip. Our kitty hid each time she visited but was fed, watered and her box scooped! We will certainly book again the next time we have a trip planned! 😁”
“Deb is the absolute best pet sitter. I'm loosing count of how many times I've booked with her, but each time she exceeds my expectations and goes above and beyond. She sends the cutest pictures of my cat (my cat absolutely loves Deb), plays with her (Deb even gifted Zoey a toy!!! I'm telling you, Deb's the best), sends detailed updates while I'm gone. She even tidies up the place (my cat likes to make a little mess), so when I get back it looks spotless! She is reliable, has the biggest heart, and truly cares for pets she watches as if they're her own. I have the utmost trust in Deb, and if I could give her more than 5 stars I would! She is simply the best.”
“Natasha is always very great with my pup! My pup was being difficult about putting the harness on and she stayed a little extra to ensure she was taken care of. Thank you Natasha!”
“It was a last-minute request towards the end of the night, but Glenmary made it happen regardless! I'm so glad to have found someone willing to go the extra mile for a furball that isn't theirs. It takes an extraordinary, empathetic person to do what they do. Thank you so much!”
About: I have been taking care of my neighbors, family, friends, and my own dog/pets for 10 years including walks, feeding, watching, and helping train. I have experience with puppies and older dogs as well as injured or sick dogs. I am currently in a local college for health care. I am free all day Saturday-Monday and after 3 Tuesday-Friday. I have transportation and can drive a reasonable distance. I would follow any rules you have set for your dog (ex. food allowed, walking requirements, type of leash/collar for walks, and if they need to be crated or not) I would be able and willing to provide any medical care needed as long as I am shown how to correctly.
“Katrina is a mature, responsible person who quickly earned our trust. Leaving our fur babies in the care of someone else is no small decision. We feel totally confident in her sensitivity to our older dog and our new rescue dog who is still adjusting. Highly recommend!”
About: I've been involved in dog rescue for over 20 years and often board former foster pups. I give a lot of attention and soft play to minimize the stress of their owners being away. I recently completed a 220 hour veterinary assistant certification. I have a flexible work schedule Monday-Friday which allows me to leave midday for walks, feedings, etc. Weekends are typically wide open. I am available for sunrise and sunset walks at the local golf course or in your neighborhood. I am off for the summers and all school holidays. Pets in my home enjoy lots of exercise and soft play--fetch, tug of war, etc. Dogs that prefer to stay home will have a minimum of 3 visits per day for feeding, exercise and play. For golf course walks, I offer free pickup within two miles of the route from my house to the course.
About: I have worked with seniors of varying ability levels. I have worked with many different kinds of animals in all sizes. I have worked with dogs, cats, pigs, chickens ducks, and many other kinds of livestock. I work a 9-5 in Albany which allows for me to take a long lunch break to care for pets as well as weekends free. I have dogs myself so we have all necessary medical information as ability to care for pets of all sizes. i also have a fenced in yard and all necessary toys and equipment.
About: I will care for your dogs with ease and I will always be on time and reliable! I will give your pup the special care and attention that he or she needs. I have over 14 years of experience caring for canines and felines. Working with the needs of your dog is my top priority. I am in Albany, NY. I have a flexible schedule and I can prioritize taking care of your furry friend! I can drop by for a food and play session with your cat, or bring your dog on a 60 minute walk, and feed your dog (if needed). Pets I take care of are in the pet parent's home, rather than my own home. If there are certain routines and things you would like to share with me about best practices in your home, please let me know.

Anyone would be extremely happy to have her as a caregiver for their pet!”

Emer G.
“Emer the dog whisperer! She has fostered hundreds of dogs over the years with care and compassion and thoughtfulness for their well-being. She has managed dogs with every personality imaginable. She has real systems in place and uses research based training. Emer is extremely conscious of the safety of the dogs she provides care for. Emer makes sure the dogs are properly exercised and socialized. There have been countless puppies that Emer has fostered that still go absolutely bananas when they see her. I think that says everything you need to know about the care that she gives.”
Clayton B.
“I highly recommend Clayton to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. He watched my dogs for the weekend and did an impeccable job. Managing more than one pup isn’t easy, but Clayton handled it with such ease and attention to detail. I received regular updates, and it was clear my dogs were happy, safe, and well cared for the entire time. I wouldn’t hesitate to trust Clayton with any of my pets again!”
Nyasia A.Star Sitter
“Thanks so much for a last minute lunch visit!”
Elena R.
“Elena was very kind and flexible with our schedule. She even came over for a meet and greet before the actual day we set up. Would highly recommend.”
Theresa M.
“Theresa looked after my dog a few years ago and I can genuinely say she is one of the most dedicated and caring people I know! She came to my house and kept my dog company while I was out because she was a hyperactive rescue pup. Theresa takes the best care of dogs and knows how to keep them happy and healthy. I wish we still lived closer so she could still take care of my dogs!”
