Personalized care for your dog or cat - Ballston Lake
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Ballston Lake
“Rebecca was an outstanding dog sitter and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. She was attentive, easy to communicate with, and clearly cared about our dog as if he were her own. She kept us updated with photos of their walks, playtime, and even downtime, which really showed how comfortable and happy he was in her care. It was easily the best boarding experience our dog has ever had, and we could tell he genuinely enjoyed his time with her. I can’t recommend Rebecca highly enough and would absolutely trust her again in the future.”
“Chrissy was just what our dog needed. She has a fenced in yard and friendly playmates for my Bandit who has tons of energy. She kept the slider open to the yard so the dogs could run in and out and play. Bandit is an anxious dog and I could tell from the videos that he was immediately calm and enjoying himself. We will definitely book Chrissy again in the future!”
“Kassandra and Johnathan were great with our Puppy Leo! He is a big ball of energy and they were great with him and he loved playing with their dog Charlie. I would recommend to anyone in the area and will definitely bring Leo back when we need boarding again!”
“Maegan was flexible with our appointment. We had an important meeting on Monday and she canceled Monday. Abby had a good time. She came home and was calmer than she has ever been.”
“Ginger was amazing with Otis. It was our first time leaving him but she assured us with daily updates, pictures and videos. He had a wonderful time playing with Ranger and really settled in nicely. Definitely recommend Ginger and will book with her again in the future.”
“Gillian is simply the best—so knowledgeable, so flexible, so communicative. We felt like our pup was so loved and well-cared for while she boarded with Gillian. Will definitely book again!”
“Paige seemed right at home when I arrived. Glad to see me, but in no rush to leave. Jonathan was very attentive to her and it is apparent he has a natural ability with dogs.”
“Even though this was short notice, Jillian was excellent with Ezra! She sent videos, photos, and updates about what was going on during the night and day. I felt at peace knowing my boy was in great hands. If you're looking for a responsible, loving, caring sitter, look no further.”
“As usual, Jen is the ultimate pet sitter. Her attention to detail from sending daily pictures and updates to flexibility in her schedule keeps her at the top of my list for Wolfie. Thank you again!”
“Peg was so kind to watch Bogey this weekend when our sitter plans had fallen through last minute. It had been several months since Bogey stayed with Peg, but he was immediately excited when we arrived and rushed toward the house. He loved playing with her pups and the other dogs in the fenced in backyard. I appreciated Peg’s periodic updates during the stay. Highly recommend - your pup will be in great hands!”
“Natthinee did a wonderful job taking care of my Moose! She sent lots of pictures and videos of him having a great time doing all of his tricks and playing with their dog. He will definitely be coming back for more visits!”
“David was incredibly responsive, kind and easy to work with! He took on my elderly 16 year old pup within a 24 hour notice after we found out our Airbnb didn’t allow dogs :( He took great care of her and sent daily updates which we really appreciated! She felt right at home with him and he made us feel very comforted knowing she was in good hands! Will definitely rejoin with him in the future :)”
“We were very impressed with Awoo’s setup. He was willing to try out our energetic pup and the communication and care was wonderful. We would definitely book with Awoo again.”
“I was really nervous about leaving our dog with a stranger, but I needn’t have been. Mike was fantastic! I can recommend him without hesitation. He kept in touch, sent pictures and answered my texts promptly. I would definitely board my dog with them again, no question.”
“Larry took excellent care of our dog while we were away for the weekend. He was extremely professional and made sure to ask questions to ensure our dog was as comfortable as possible. We received updates during our time away on how our little guy was doing. We were extremely satisfied with our experience and will definitely keep Larry in mind for our next trip!”
“Anna was INCREDIBLE. Incredibly competent and kind, I immediately felt safe leaving Zephyr with her and her fiancé. She was flexible with our timeline and responded immediately to anything I asked. She sent updates consistently and Zephyr had a wonderful time! And when I picked her up Anna sent us home with the SWEETEST little doggy bag with a report card, actual photos of Zephyr that immediately went on the fridge, and a bone. I genuinely cannot overstate how wonderful this experience was. She thought of things I'd never consider and provided such an organized, professional and personalized experience that I'll be sure to remember. If I ever need a sitter again I will 100% be going to Anna.”
“It is always so comforting to know that Bailey is in good hands when we go visit our family. She keeps us informed and sends pictures. This is the fourth time we have used Brigid and Bailey seems to feel just as comfortable there as he does at home. Thank you Bridgit!”

“Donna is great. She has sat for my kitties several times now and every time she sends me plenty of updates along with details about her visit with photos. This time she administered antibiotics to my cat as well. I would definitely recommend Donna for any pet sitting needs!”
“Jack did a great job coming over to take care of our cats while we were out for a week. One of them is diabetic and Jack used the insulin we provided and he's doing great now that we're back home. He came consistently and reliably every day which was necessary for the insulin and all the cats were fed as instructed. Would highly recommend!”
“Karina is always great taking care of my cats. I think they like her better than me now. Always professional, courteous, and generous with communicating and photo updates during daily visits.”
“Emily is wonderful and our cat loves spending time with her! We will keep rebooking as long as she is available. Emily is incredibly responsive, keeps us updated while we are away, takes plenty of photos, cuddles with our cat, and helps with little tasks in the house. We are so thankful for her visits!”
“Michelle has taken wonderful care of our cats multiple times! She is very reliable, sends updates and photos! We will definitely be using Michelle again in the future!”
“Jackie did a great job watching our cat! She came to our house in advance to meet our cat and get all the info she needed to make sure his needs were met while we were gone. We liked her immediately. Our cat, who is usually shy around strangers, was letting her rub his belly within 15 minutes! Jackie sent photos taken during each visit and provided updates on how he was doing. She’s extremely conscientious and we were confident our cat was getting all the attention he needed. I would highly recommend her and will definitely book with her again when we need a sitter.”
“Kelly is an amazing cat whisperer who has taken wonderful care of our skittish cat. She goes above and beyond daily care and our cat actually sits on her lap. Very good with communication. Highly recommend!”
“Amanda did yet again another amazing job while in my home taking care of my cats. She was even able to stay another night when my flight was cancelled due to weather and I was out of the country!”
About: I have years of experience caring for cats of all ages, from playful kittens to senior companions. I understand feline behavior, ensuring your cat feels comfortable and stress-free while you're away. Whether it’s administering medications, providing specialized diets, or giving extra cuddles (only if they want them!), I tailor my care to each cat’s unique personality. Plus, I take pride in maintaining a clean and fresh litter box environment, so your kitty always has a tidy space. Your cat’s happiness and well-being are my top priorities! 🐾
About: I've had my cat, Jeremy, for almost three years now. I have learned a lot about cat behavior and communication, and feel like I can read his cues like a book. I’ve even trained my cat to do tricks such as sit, shake, and roll over. I adore cats and their curious, self reliant nature. I've been able to trim nails, brush cats, and bathe them when their owners struggled to. I enjoy problem solving around problem behaviors, redirecting cats to healthy outlets while recognizing their innate needs. In a similar realm, I can be a space cat-ification consultant, improving your cat’s environment, happiness, and redirecting attention from those chaotic cat impulses.
“We cannot recommend Rachelle enough! Excellent and prompt communicator. She visited every day around the same time to keep things consistent as requested. We loved getting photos daily - it was clear that our cat, who can be shy at times, loved Rachelle.”
“Nadia did a wonderful job cat sitting while we were on vacation. She communicated with me every day and sent photos. Daisy enjoyed her visits. She was very helpful and reliable.”
“Scott was fantastic while taking care of our cats for the weekend. He clearly has lots of experience with cats and animals of all kinds. Scott made sure to ask good questions regarding their care needs which made me feel very comfortable having him watch our cats while we were gone. I will certainly be having Scott watch them again!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Ballston Lake
“Jack has been great with my dog. she goes twice a week for daycare and she is always excited to get there and never wants to leave. Jack has been very flexible and professional!”
About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was 5 years old, when I got my very first dachshunds—Peanut and Sweetie. By the time I was 9, I had adopted a shelter dachshund and raised two more dachshund puppies, bringing my total to five dogs at once. I personally trained all of them, which gave me a strong foundation in understanding dog behavior, especially with independent or energetic breeds like dachshunds. Throughout middle school and my teen years, I helped neighbors by dog sitting, walking, and doing drop-in visits, often just for playtime and companionship. One of the dogs I cared for regularly was a sweet senior named Duke, who I’d take outside and spend time with while his owner was away. These experiences taught me how to adapt my care for both high-energy pups and older dogs who need a gentler, more patient approach. In addition to my pet care experience, I am also a dancer, choreographer, and educator. Through years of teaching and working with students of all ages, I’ve developed strong skills in patience, attentiveness, and understanding individual needs—qualities that naturally carry over into the way I care for animals. I also have years of experience caring for cats—both my family’s and now my own sweet cat, Tom. I understand feline behavior, how to earn their trust, and how to create a calm, safe environment where they feel comfortable while you’re away. As a stay-at-home mom to my 2-month-old baby, I’m home often and have a flexible, attentive schedule. I truly value creating a calm, safe, and loving environment—for both pets and people. Whether it’s puppies, seniors, small breeds, or shy kitties, I bring patience, love, and reliable care to every visit. I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. Pet care fits naturally into my daily life. I genuinely love spending time with animals, and I build my schedule to be available when pets need me most—whether it’s morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening playtime. I’m flexible, dependable, and happy to accommodate different routines, including weekend or last-minute needs. Caring for pets doesn’t feel like a chore to me—it’s something I truly enjoy. I prioritize each pet’s safety and comfort above all else. In your home, I follow your routines closely to ensure your pet feels secure and stress-free. I always keep a close eye on surroundings during walks, avoiding unsafe areas or triggers. I’m familiar with handling pets with anxiety, special diets, or medication needs, and I treat every space with respect—leaving it clean and exactly how I found it. Whether I’m in your home or caring for your pet during a walk, you can count on me to show up with calm energy, attentiveness, and love.
About: I have taken care of animals my whole life. Been boarding and running daycare full time for 10+ years. I have studied dog behaviors, CPR trained, used to train and have spent my life learning dogs. Part of my business is even making pet products like bow ties, bandanas, toys, healthy treats, signs and organic paw wax. I run my boarding and daycare full time. It is what i live every day. I board 7 days a week and run daycare Tues-Fri We have a large dog specific room which daycare is run out of (while boarding your dog can join daycare for no extra cost) this room has a dog door that leads to the large fenced in yard. Once daycare is complete or dog dependent, the door comes open and the pups join our pack (2) snuggling on the couch and begging in the kitchen 😉
“We are extremely grateful to have found Anna for our puppy. Chloe had an amazing day full of fun away from her family for the first time. We are so blessed to have found Anna and we definitely will be booking her for the future. Not only is it a fun, loving, safe place but also you can tell she is experienced and loves caring for fur pets. She gave us a report at the end, with a goodie bag and some printed pictures from our pup. She went above and beyond! ❤️🐾”

“Sierra took great care of my elderly dog. He was so content when I picked him up that he didn’t want to go home. She kept him separated from the other dogs, but in the same room, so he could see and interact with his new friends without any risk to him physically. My little potato really enjoyed his time there and I’ll be bringing him back!”
“Gillian and Mitch and their four pups are absolutely amazing. They were so welcoming of Biscuit, who fit right in with the pack and had a blast. Came home completely tired and ready for dinner and sleep! Gillian kept me posted if his activities throughout the day. We will definitely go back to her.”

About: I have two fur babies of my own, so I understand that trusting someone else to care for your pet can be challenging. However, sometimes we don't have a choice. With me, you won't have to worry at all; I will love and spoil your furry friend just like I do with my own. I absolutely adore dogs and wish I could have more! You can rest assured that your pet will be in good hands and will have playmates to feel comfortable with. My female dogs are very loving and playful. Bella is 6 years old and weighs 33 lbs, while Chloe is 4 years old and weighs 68 lbs. I would love to care for your pet and provide them with a warm home filled with love, attention, and furry friends. I work from home several times a week. I am home on the weekends. While your fur baby is in my care, they will receive my full attention. While your pet is in my home, they will be loved and treated as a part of the family. They are welcome to sit or lie on the sofa, and I also have pet beds available if they prefer to use those or they can bring their own.

About: First time clients can use the promo code below for a discount on your first booking. DAWNA60239 My profile: https://www.rover.com/sit/dawna60239 I have taken care of dogs since I was in my early teens. In addition, through the years, I have also been a pet parent to a horse, guinea pigs, hermit crabs, tropical fish, goldfish, and hamsters. Family and friends routinely ask me for pet care advice since I have had pets for so many years and trained my own puppies through self teaching. I also have experience administering medications. I care for my own four dogs on a daily basis ranging in age from 3 to 17 and have raised them from puppies. We have play time and snuggle time at different times each day. There is plenty of extra time and love each day to care for your fur baby too. I have a fenced yard on just under 1/2 acre, and my four dogs love to romp and play which is part of their daily routine. They also love long walks or going for a car ride. They are all crate trained and feel that their crate is their special place, so the doors are always open for them to have their alone/rest time when they want to after play time (if they are not trying to claim a spot on the couch or in the recliner). One especially likes the couch and the others love to sleep in bed at night.
“We've been a customer of Thomas' for the last 4 months. His calm and friendly demeanor is an excellent match for our high-energy dog (who absolutely adores Thomas). 5-star review by any measure!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs ever since I could remember. I love them so much. Everyone calls me the dog whisperer whenever they need a helping hand with their fur babies. I do charge an additional fee for gas, due to gas prices being so high and the high intake I receive from my guests. I currently work part time but I’m available usually after 9am throughout the week. I do work weekends usually but I can be flexible with stopping in the morning and evenings times for your fur babies. I am temporarily in a transition moving right now, for the Army National Guard. I am living at Home until I receive my new orders. So I will come to you for any of your visits you need for your fur babies!
“Luna had a great day with Brad and Mery. They’re very friendly caring folks and have a really nice house and yard to watch your favorite canine companions. We’d be happy to have her spend time with them anytime!”
About: I’m new to dog sitting professionally, but caring for dogs is something I’ve done my entire life. I grew up around dogs and have hands-on experience with a variety of breeds, including breeding and raising them. This background has given me a strong understanding of dog behavior, needs, and how to handle different temperaments. I currently own a large Great Dane, so I’m very comfortable managing big, powerful dogs as well as smaller breeds. From feeding routines and exercise to recognizing signs of stress or illness, I’m confident in providing attentive, reliable care. My lifelong experience with animals allows me to create a safe, loving, and structured environment for every dog I care for. As a stay-at-home dog mom, caring for animals is already a natural part of my daily life. My schedule is centered around being home, which allows me to give pets the time, attention, and consistency they deserve. Because I’m not juggling a traditional 9–5, I’m able to provide flexible, reliable care—whether that means regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, or just being there to keep your pet company. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine, and I truly enjoy making animals feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. When pets stay in my home, they become part of a calm, loving environment alongside my own dog, who is friendly, social, and used to being around other animals. I always take the time to introduce pets slowly and safely to make sure everyone feels comfortable and gets along well. Throughout their stay, I provide constant supervision, plenty of playtime, regular potty breaks, and a consistent routine. I also pay close attention to each pet’s personality—whether they love to play or prefer a more relaxed, quiet space—and adjust accordingly. If needed, I can separate pets to give them their own space and ensure everyone feels safe. My goal is to create a home-away-from-home where your pet feels secure, happy, and well cared for while also enjoying positive social interaction.

About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all ages, from energetic puppies to gentle seniors and I treat every pet like my own. I’m reliable, patient, and always focused on keeping pets comfortable.

About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve cared for all kinds of breeds, from tiny Chihuahuas to giant Newfoundlands, and have experience with puppies as young as 3 weeks old as well as senior dogs up to 14 years old. I’m comfortable with dogs of all temperaments, energy levels, and care needs. Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, learning basic commands, or prefers a slower pace, I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and care. I have experience with basic training and enjoy helping reinforce good habits and routines in a positive way. Every dog has their own personality, so I like to take the time to get to know what makes them feel coming. My goal is to provide dependable care while giving pet parents peace of mind. At the end of the day, our pets are family, and I’ll treat yours like they’re part of mine. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, having pets myself, and I make it a priority to be dependable and punctual. I understand how important consistency is for pets, so I do my best to maintain their normal schedule, whether that means walks, feeding times, play sessions, or drop in visits. I enjoy staying active and spending time with animals, making pet care something I genuinely look forward to each day. Safety is a top priority for me, especially during walks. I take the time to properly understand each pet’s behavior, triggers, and comfort level before heading out, and I stay attentive to their surroundings at all times to ensure they are secure and well managed. I like to follow key safety precautions like using properly fitted leashes and harnesses, avoiding high-traffic or overstimulating areas when needed, checking gates and doors carefully, and always keeping a secure hold on pets when entering or exiting spaces. I also focus on building trust with each pet by moving at their pace, using calm and consistent body language, and allowing them to become comfortable with me before expecting too much interaction. I pay attention to their signals and respect their boundaries, which helps create a sense of safety and reliability. Over time, this helps pets feel more at ease with me, making walks and in home care smoother and more comfortable for them.
About: I grew up on the farm and have over 40 years' experience and knowledge in caring for, training and loving all varieties of animals form the pet mouse to the horses and cows and everything in between. I am not a kennel. Your pet will be living like he's at home. I keep your normal routine such as feeding times, walks, playtimes and more.

My professional experience includes a 6 month veterinary internship in High School, and a year of experience working in different dog daycares and boarding centers. I've had many years experience in pet sitting for family and friends! I'm working on Rover as a pet sitter full time this summer, and will be returning to school as a full-time canine training & management student at SUNY Cobleskill. With drop in visits, I'm always thorough when reading instructions and always double check what I'm doing. It's my priority to make your pet feel safe and well cared for! When walking your pup, I'll make sure your dog gets the movement they need!
About: Aside from my 3 personal pets, I have raised 4 Seeing Eye dogs and pet sat for over a dozen families. I have experience in dog first aid, potty training, and reactive dogs.

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, from 4-month-old puppies to seniors up to 16 years old. I’m especially comfortable with senior dogs and have experience caring for a blind dog who needed medication and close monitoring, so I understand how important patience and attention to detail are. I grew up with a Great Dane, Chow, and Yorkie, which made me comfortable with different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I try to stick closely to each dog’s routine so they feel safe and at ease. I work from home, so I have a flexible schedule for walks and drop-ins and can be reliable with timing. I’ll also keep you updated so you know your pet is in good hands. I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule for walks and drop-in visits throughout the day. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I’m able to stay consistent with timing and adjust to your pet’s usual schedule. I live in an HOA community in a quiet, low-traffic neighborhood that’s great for calm and safe walks. For drop-in visits and walks, I prioritize safety by following all owner instructions closely and keeping pets on their normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure. I’m mindful of leashes, doors, and surroundings at all times, and I provide consistent updates so you know how everything is going.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs all my life primarily for friends and family. I’ve taken care of german shepards, labradors, pit bulls, and many more. I’ve even more recently fostered a kitten for a few months as she waited to be adopted. I will make sure your furry friend is played with, fed, walked, snuggled (if they like that) and most importantly loved! I work as a waitress so my hours vary depending on the week. Usually shifts are 5 hours but can go up to about 10 hours if I am out on a double. I average about 30 hours a week. I can house up to two dogs in my home, however my backyard is only partially fenced in. I will not take dogs from different families/bookings at the same time. I am a very clean and tidy person so you do not need to worry about coming home to a mess. I am respectful of other peoples belongings and will only use what you tell me I am allowed to use.
“Our dog has special medical needs so we can’t trust just anyone with her care. Rachelle made us feel comfortable right away and our dog loved her. We will definitely be using her when I go back to work in the office.”

“Rebecca was an outstanding dog sitter and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. She was attentive, easy to communicate with, and clearly cared about our dog as if he were her own. She kept us updated with photos of their walks, playtime, and even downtime, which really showed how comfortable and happy he was in her care.

“Chrissy was just what our dog needed. She has a fenced in yard and friendly playmates for my Bandit who has tons of energy.

We will definitely book Chrissy again in the future!”

“Even though this was short notice, Jillian was excellent with Ezra! She sent videos, photos, and updates about what was going on during the night and day. I felt at peace knowing my boy was in great hands. If you're looking for a responsible, loving, caring sitter, look no further.”
“As usual, Jen is the ultimate pet sitter. Her attention to detail from sending daily pictures and updates to flexibility in her schedule keeps her at the top of my list for Wolfie. Thank you again!”
“Peg was so kind to watch Bogey this weekend when our sitter plans had fallen through last minute. It had been several months since Bogey stayed with Peg, but he was immediately excited when we arrived and rushed toward the house. He loved playing with her pups and the other dogs in the fenced in backyard. I appreciated Peg’s periodic updates during the stay. Highly recommend - your pup will be in great hands!”
“We were very impressed with Awoo’s setup. He was willing to try out our energetic pup and the communication and care was wonderful. We would definitely book with Awoo again.”
“I was really nervous about leaving our dog with a stranger, but I needn’t have been. Mike was fantastic! I can recommend him without hesitation. He kept in touch, sent pictures and answered my texts promptly. I would definitely board my dog with them again, no question.”
“Anna was INCREDIBLE. Incredibly competent and kind, I immediately felt safe leaving Zephyr with her and her fiancé. She was flexible with our timeline and responded immediately to anything I asked. She sent updates consistently and Zephyr had a wonderful time! And when I picked her up Anna sent us home with the SWEETEST little doggy bag with a report card, actual photos of Zephyr that immediately went on the fridge, and a bone. I genuinely cannot overstate how wonderful this experience was. She thought of things I'd never consider and provided such an organized, professional and personalized experience that I'll be sure to remember. If I ever need a sitter again I will 100% be going to Anna.”
“Brad and Mery are wonderful people who treat our dog like family. We are so grateful to have them. Our dog loves being with Brad and Mery so much that he doesn’t want to leave!”
“Samantha and her family are amazing. Honestly. My first time boarding my 3 month old puppy and they made it so easy. Communication and kindness!! Such genuine people. Thank you for everything!!”
“John was amazing! Super responsive, even to a last-minute/ day-of booking! He took wonderful care of our lil Roxy, and sent lots of updates and photos throughout the days, which we so appreciated :) She’s 15 years old and can sometimes be a little skiddish, but she took right to him and he made her feel right at home. He’s a great dog sitter and was very kind and caring, will definitely be booking with him again!”
“We have used Sheronda two times within the last couple of months. We have nothing but praise for her and her family as well as the care she has given to our Elly. She was also understanding when we had a medical emergency on our most recent trip. We love how many updates and pictures we get. You won't get a better dog sitter anywhere. We look forward to using her service again.”
