“Kathryn was wonderful with our dog Sesame during our weekend trip to Sea Ranch. She was communicative, flexible, and clearly experienced with dogs. Hers were calm and respectful, which made Sesame feel at ease. She even met us around town so we could take Sesame on some daytime adventures, which we really appreciated. We’d absolutely trust her again and recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful and reliable sitter!”

“Christine is amazing with our 2 dogs! She takes them on walks and adventures to the lake. We also appreciate her flexibility with our travel plans. We highly recommend Christine to anyone with pets!”

“John and Zoe were very thoughtful in their care of Coconut. She had a great time playing with their dog, running around in the yard, and going on walks with them! We got cute photos and an update daily. Will be using them again if we’re in Sea Ranch in the future!”

“Thomas responded quickly and was very friendly! Cosmo clearly felt right at home with him and had a great time during his stay. Whenever we're in the area again I will definitely be reaching out to have Thomas dogsit Cosmo!”


“Camilla was the best Rover we have had! I truly felt like our dog Timu was on vacation while we were! She was so attentive to Timu with walks and adventures and she kept me updated with photos and updates every step of the way. If we leave town again or need a day stay I would absolutely use Camilla again. Highly recommend!”

“Charmaine did a great job boarding our fur baby. She was very anxious about being away from home for a few nights. Charmaine even let her sleep with her and shared pics. Very sweet and caring.”

“We had a great experience with Jessica! She responded quickly, was kind, and kept us updated with pictures and messages throughout our dog’s stay. Our pup seemed happy and well taken care of—we could tell he enjoyed his time there.”

“Angie and her family were super nice. We felt like the pups were safe in her care and they were comfortable and happy with their stay. We hope Angie will be free to care for them again the next time we need doggie care.”

About: I have had dogs all my life. Never had a dog not like me. The property is fully fenced 6 acres for your pups to run and play on! I have a very open schedule currently. I have plenty of time to play with, and care for guest pups. My schedule is picking up and dropping of kids:) We have a huge 6 acre fenced yard. Our dog is a big, sweet, female. She gets along with most dogs. And will be a great playmate!
“Sarah was outstanding! We were arriving from out of town on our way back home and our other arrangements fell through last minute. With about 3 hours notice for a 2-day visit, she was more than helpful and made our pit stop in Saratoga Springs much less stressful. She communicated throughout the day with updates, sent pictures, and we highly recommend her. 5 stars!”

“Kathryn was professional and personable. She made us feel safe while we were away and when we came home, the dogs were full of joy. I highly recommend her to anybody who wants personal attention with their pups.”

About: Growing up in a rural home with dogs, cats, chickens, sheep, cows, goats, etc. came a strong passion for animals and caring for them came naturally. Always a lover of all animals big or small, old or young - at age 12, I began pet sitting / dog walking for neighbors, friends, family, etc. I have boarded, walked, fed, bathed, administered medications, etc. for dozens of animals over the years. I’ve got experience with it all! More flexible than a pipe cleaner when it comes to your schedule needs. Communicative and available on a dimes notice, I am always willing to go the extra mile when you need me! I will care for your pets as if they were my own! I am reliable, trustworthy, and flexible. With your pet, we can walk, play, go to the park, exercise, snuggle, etc. Whatever you are comfortable with! Their stay - your way :) Your little fur baby will be in the best hands whenever we are together :)

About: Caring for cats has always been a joy for me. I’ve spent years looking after them at home and have come to truly appreciate their unique personalities. Cats may be known for their independence, but they also have a deep need for affection and companionship—on their own terms, of course! I understand how to respect a cat's space while also recognizing those sweet moments when they want to cuddle, play, or simply sit nearby. From keeping their litter box clean to making sure they’re eating well and feeling secure, I provide the calm, attentive care that helps cats feel at ease in their own environment. Whether your kitty is shy or a total lap cat, I’ll make sure they feel loved and cared for while you’re away.

“Michele responded quickly to my initial request. She came to my house to meet the cats and talk to me, which made me feel comfortable that they would be well taken care of. She sent me frequent pictures and videos, showing the cats playing and having a good time. I suspect they enjoyed their time with her more than the day to day they spend with me. She even informed me that one of my cats likes to participate in yoga. After 9 years, this was new information. When I came home the house was clean and cats were happy. I would highly recommend Michele.Hopefully she is available the next time I go out of town.”

“Diego did a phenomenal job with our 3 cats while we were on a weekend trip! He sent updates and pictures on every visit and we could tell our kitties had a great time! They were happy and relaxed when we got home.”

About: I've taken care of a wide variety of cats for friends and neighbors for the last 26 years and have been a cat lover ever since. I also worked as a kennel assistant for our local animal shelter for 2 years which included assisting with cat adoptions, along with their proper care & maintenance.

We come home for a little rest. And then around midday we go out back for some ball playing and fetching followed by a little sunbathing. Pets safety is always the number one priority. Pets will always be on leash while outside the home. Back yard is securely fenced. I have a dog gate up by front door so I dog can not run out if front door is opened.

About: I've been caring for pets since I was 10 years old, and over the years, it's become second nature to me. I have hands-on experience with both small breed dogs and cats, and I understand their unique personalities and needs. Whether it’s playtime, feeding, or just some quiet cuddles, I know how to make them feel comfortable and safe. I’m also very attentive to pets’ bathroom cues and routines—an important part of keeping them healthy and happy. Currently, I have a pug and a labrador at home, so I’m very familiar with both the playful energy of larger dogs and the special care smaller breeds often require. Your furry friend will be in loving, experienced hands! As someone who works from home, I have the flexibility and time to give pets the attention and care they need throughout the day. Pet sitting fits perfectly into my routine—I’m able to provide regular check-ins, walks, playtime, and cuddle sessions without any rush. Because I’m home most of the time, your pets won’t be left alone for long stretches. I can easily adapt to their schedule, whether that means early morning feedings, midday walks, or keeping them company during the quieter parts of the day. My flexible work setup allows me to be present, responsive, and fully committed to your pet’s comfort and well-being. At my home, your pet will feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I have a fully fenced yard, which is perfect for dogs to run, play, and get their exercise in a secure space. Whether it’s a quick potty break or some time to burn off energy, they’ll have room to move around freely and safely. Inside, I have crates available for dogs who are crate-trained or just need a quiet, cozy space to relax. I always make sure pets feel at ease, whether they prefer lounging indoors, exploring the yard, or snuggling up for some one-on-one attention. Your pet will be treated like part of the family in a clean, calm, and pet-friendly environment.
About: I am an animal lover...have had pets my whole life. I currently live with one cat. I will take good care of your babies and they will have fun. I can do short & multiple daily visits closer to my home, longer ones/overnights farther away, or they can stay with me. Discounts for longer housesitting stays. Further away areas may require covering transportation costs. I currently work part time, so I have lots of time to spend with your pet. Play time and cuddle time are essential. Let me know what activities your pet enjoys. I will be directly with your pet most of the time. Depending on what you request, our activities will vary. Will do my best to stick to your pets' schedule and routine. I will stick to pet routines as close as possible. Dog will be involved in my routine as well. If I go to the office, and its appropriate, they can come with me. We will spend as much time outside as we can. Lots of walks. May come to work with me if appropriate. We will take lots of pictures.
