Personalized care for your dog or cat - Alder Bend

“Je n’exagère pas sur la gentillesse de Mylène et Pierre-Charles avec notre chien Nova. C’était la première fois que nous laissions Nova avec quelqu’un et nous hésitions a confier sa garde à quelqu’un d’autre. La gentillesse et l’amour de Mylène et Pierre-Charles pour notre chien était évident dès notre première rencontre. Ils ont gardés Nova pendant 14 jours et nous tenus au courant de tout. Ils ont gâtés Nova en outrance et je sais que je les solliciterai à nouveaux si besoin. N’hésitez pas à demander de garder vos animaux vous auriez aucun regret. Un gros merci ❤️”

About: Hi! I'm Cinara! 👋 I’m an experienced caregiver with a deep love for animals. I have had the honor to care for pets across the lifespan having grown up with many furry, feathery-even scaley-companions. Its been a great joy as well to be a person who impacts animal lives via rescue/rehabilitation and, most recently through fostering at-risk cats. I feel confident in my ability to provide a therapeutic alliance built on patience and understanding with vulnerable animals. I have hands-on training experience and am comfortable reinforcing basic commands and routines in dogs and cats. I always tailor my visit with the specific needs of the pet, and of the caregiver. On walks- allowing an animal to engage each of their senses is the main goal of a walk, to me its all about enrichment. I let animals lead the way while also paying close attention to their behavior and body language, so I can better respond to their needs.I'm confident administering oral medications, managing specific diets, and maintaining steady routines to help minimize stress while you're away. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine—it’s something I genuinely enjoy and make time for. I build my schedule around giving animals the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening cuddle time, I’m flexible and committed to showing up consistently for the pets I care for. I'm happy to work with your pet's routine to keep things comfortable and familiar for them. Let's talk! I take safety and comfort seriously. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of your space and routines, and I make sure your pet feels secure by keeping things consistent and calm. I follow all instructions closely, from feeding and medication to preferred walking routes and house rules. Building trust with both you and your pet is my top priority.

About: I have been in veterinary medicine for 10 years. Caring for annals is in my day to day routine and is my biggest passion in life.

About: I have taken care of all kinds of animals, since growing up on a dairy farm in Charlotte, VT. I love dogs and finally have one of my own, and Austrailian Shepard, he happily plays with all dogs and enjoys off lease pack walks at local areas. I do overnight, day boarding, and pick up to play. I'm very flexible and happy to work at a short notice. I work from home and have my own business that gives the flexibility to work around my dogs schedule. I have a fenced in yard, along with a park right next door. Not only will they be mostly outside while they are here, they will get plenty of exercise and down time if needed.

“I recently hired Jess to take care of my Tommy while I was away, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! From the very beginning, Jess was professional, communicative, and clearly passionate about animals. During our meet-and-greet, Jess took the time to understand my pet’s routine and needs, which put my mind at ease. When I returned, my Tommy was happy and well-cared for, which is the best indicator of a great pet sitter. I highly recommend Jess to anyone looking for reliable and loving care for their furry family members!”

About: I grew up around dogs. I volunteered with my aunt that rescued dogs until I could get my own. My Aunt has about 10-15 dogs on average at a time and the rescue organization had close to 50 dogs at a time I was volunteering there. I had 2 Wheaten Terrier mixes rescues one 16 years and another 12 years old. I had a 90lb, 11 year old Golden Doodle. I often house sit for my grandparents who have an Airedale Terrier. I also have experience working with dogs in the military. I love working with dogs of all sizes, ages, and breeds. I am trying out this service to walk some dogs, do some feedings and let outs for bathroom brakes while you're away, but mostly I love dogs. I have experience with dogs with cataracts, arthritis, and incontinence and I have experience working with other dogs with disabilities. I'd be willing to have dogs in my car. I am flexible with your dogs' training requirements. I am working full time and I have the ability to take care of your dog. Id love to take your dog to the park on the weekends. I can not board dogs currently; I'm sorry if this does not meet your needs. I would love to take care of your dog in your home while you're away.

About: I have been providing care for animals since I was 13. I have worked with and provided sitting and supervision for animals of all kinds big and small. Having animals of my own, I have come to see the extreme need for good honest sitters to care for your pets while you are away from home. As a nurse for over 33 years, I have also had the privilege of seeing first-hand the impact animals have on a person's life. I will not only take care of all your pet needs, I will assure you and your family will enjoy time away knowing your pets are safe and happy. My current experience has been working with all animals including pregnant mommas, newborns, adults, disability needs, and hospice. I currently am a foster mom and have provided a safe loving environment until they find their forever homes. I have devoted my life caring for pets and do this on a full-time basis to provide and dedicate every moment I have to your pets needs. My home has a fenced in yard, area in my home for privacy and rest, and more love than any one pet could need. I will also do overnights at your home so your pets can feel comfortable in their own environment.

“Couldnt have asked for better care. Communicated numerous times with pictures. I would recommend to anyone. My dog had a wonderful vacation. Such a pleasure to work with.”

“I would highly recommend Dawn to take care of your fur baby; she cared for my rambunctious Goldendoodle as if he were her own. She is conveniently located in a quaint neighborhood that has limited traffic and no unleashed dogs; so, in addition to getting exercise in Dawn’s fenced in backyard, my puppy got exercise when Dawn walked around the neighborhood. After playing with toys supplied by Dawn, my dog cozied up to her dog for a nap. I was so hesitant to leave my precious baby with a complete stranger (he’s my first ever dog and I love him so much), but after meeting Dawn, I felt completely at ease entrusting her to take the greatest care of him. She definitely has a love of animals. Thank you, Dawn. Rusty ? and Kelly”

I grew up with a cockapoo named Millie and a cat named Maggie and have always had a special connection to animals, dogs and cats in particular. I’m quite an active person, so I’ll be able to take your dog on a speed walk, but I’m also very patient if your dog prefers leisurely walks! I have Sundays and Mondays off of work, and I work the rest of the days so am not as available. Tuesday mornings before 10 am are available for me. I work a full-time 40 hr. a week job that is about an hour away from my house, so I’m only available to pet sit on days I have off, which are Sundays and Mondays.

I’m a very detail oriented person. I also love meeting new pets, and will make them feel as comfortable as possible by introducing myself slowly and in a friendly way.

About: I’ve been the go to dog and cat sitter for my family since I was 16.

I’ve also interned at multiple companion animal veterinarians and worked with many animals including deer, seals, turtles, and more. I love all animals and can’t wait to have my own. I am currently getting my masters and have classes Monday to Friday so I am only available for quick drop ins at certain times during the week. On weekends I am more flexible I do not offer my own home as I rent an apartment that does not allow pets. But in your home I will respect your home by locking up when I leave, ensuring your pet has access to water and whatever else they are allowed, and leaving things as they were left. I will make sure your pet feels safe with me by respecting any boundaries they set and have fun with them how they want to.

About: 🐾 Hi, I’m Daniel — a lifelong animal lover and reliable sitter based in Plattsburgh, NY. Over the years, I’ve cared for six dogs of my own and have regularly walked and dog-sat for friends, neighbors, and local clients. Whether it’s a brisk walk, some much-needed playtime, or a cozy companion while you're away, I treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m a 26 year old creative/entrepreneur focused on my growth but pet care is something I’ve always enjoyed, taken seriously, and do as a side hustle. My schedule is flexible, especially on holidays, and I’ll do everything I can to accommodate your pet’s needs and routine. I understand pets can get nervous when their humans are away. That’s no problem — I’m calm, patient, and focused on making sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for while you're gone. If you ever have questions, I’m always just a message away! 🗓️ My hours are flexible! I currently work part-time at a restaurant in Plattsburgh but when the day winds down, I'm a self employed musician/entrepreneur. Don't hesitate to reach out with the dates and times you need cause I'm sure I can fit your furry friend into my week! 🏡 Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I make sure they’re well exercised, fed, and relaxed — whether we’re out for a walk or just hanging out. I’m gentle but confident when working with animals and understand that each one has their own unique needs and behaviors. I’m here to make them feel at home, even when they’re not.
