“We have never left Pepperoni with anyone but family so we did a test run with Jen to prepare for our wedding this month. Everyone we would typically leave Pepperoni with will be attending the wedding so we have been stressing about what to do. Pepperoni already goes to Perfect Paws Parlor so was familiar with Jen and her one dog already, which made this really easy. Jen completely eased our minds and was great by sending updates and photos when she had Pepperoni. Pepperoni came home and passed out, I’m sure she had so much fun with Jen’s dogs. We will be booking with Jen again for our wedding and for other things! It’s great to have someone so reliable and so close to home. Thank you Jen!!”

“Jack did a great job taking care of our dog during our week long vacation. He kept us updated by sending pictures and videos. He picked up and dropped off our dog which was very convenient. He also administered his medication. We highly recommend Jack.”

“I'm thrilled that I found Maegan to care for my dog Finnigan when I go away. Finnigan's first overnight with Maegan was a complete success and I didn't have to worry about a thing! Finn loved her and he loved being with other dogs. I most definitely recommend Maegan as a caregiver for your fur baby!”

“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!”

“This is our 3rd or 4th time booking with John and he never disappoints! He is always such a pleasure and was even able to help us out last minute AND over a holiday weekend! He takes such great care of our elderly dog who usually doesn’t do well in new environments. We are so thankful to have found John :)”


“Taylor is a true animal lover which was evident the moment we met her. She kept our 5 month old morkie busy and provided rest as needed. Taylor kept us informed with pictures throughout the trip. Her flexibility made for a stress free drop off and pick up. I am thrilled we found her and know Finnegan will be happy to visit her again. All this and 10 minutes from our home! What a find!!!”

“Took great care of my pup! Was willing to accommodate his special needs. Received lots of updates and pictures. My pup had a great time and was well loved. Will be booking 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.”

“My pup just had the absolute best time at Gillian’s! She has so much energy I didn’t think it was possible for her to ever be tired but she slept for about 3 days straight after her stay!”

“Where do I even begin? Heidi and her family were life savers. I had a different host that I had booked well over a month before my trip, and on the day of drop off I could not get a hold of her. I was in pure panic mode, and I found Heidi. She lives even closer to my home so that was another bonus. I got all the pictures and updates constantly. She treated my fur baby as if she were her own. She gave my girl a homemade pup cup, sweet potato and rice on her food, and all the snuggles. I know that she was truly in the best hands, and the first host falling through was a blessing in disguise. I would definitely book with her again!”
“Karen was so kind, and really great with Gertie. I was so happy to see her quickly be affectionate with Karen which made me so happy! She sent me sweet photos and responded to my messages very quickly which was much appreciated. She took her into her home and everyone was happy. I am hoping to back up Karen’s way more in the future and will 100% use Karen again and also highly recommend her to other dog parents!!”


“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!”

“Ginger was wonderful. She took our 5 month old puppy for 3 nights. She provided plenty of updates and pictures. We felt very comfortable leaving our puppy with her. I’m thankful we found her through this app.”

“Devin is the Best Sitter we have found for our Lab Reggie ! Reggie I know feels like he is Home and not stuck in a crate like some other sitters. I love that Devin has a genuine love for animals and treats mine like his own !”


“Jude was wonderful! Very caring and loving! Great backyard for our chocolate to run in! She sent updates and pics and videos daily which was great! I would give her 10 stars!”


“We couldn’t have been happier with our first experience leaving our dog with Kyle. Her love of dogs is obvious. She took such good care of him and kept in regular contact with us with pictures and videos. He came home happy and unstressed. Actually, I’m not sure he wanted to come home 😆. We definitely recommend her!”

“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!”


“Everything went so smoothly! I had to book Alexandria at the last minute but she was so quick to respond and easygoing about tbs late booking. Alexandria did a great job of giving Doug his meds and with keeping me informed on how the weekend went. I understand it can be difficult giving him his med since they’re time sensitive and given in a pill plunger but Alexandria was timely and easy about giving them to him. Reading the check in updates every day made me smile every time I got the notification! Great pictures too! Thank you so much for taking such good care of my cat!”

“Booking Mary-Kate was the best thing I did over the holiday. I felt completely at ease knowing that she was coming to watch my dear older cat. My cat (who usually hides when new people are in the house), did not run away and engaged with Mary-Kate every day she was here! Responsible, kind, and caring. I will definitely book her again.”

“Michelle was wonderful with my boys, especially the one who needs lots of meds. Her reports were very detailed and fun, and I knew my boys were in wonderful hands!”


“Angela was wonderful with Mikey. He doesn’t like strangers and she manages to get him out from his hiding space. She arrived as promised and kept us informed. High recommendation’s from my husband, myself and Mikey.”


“Abigail was wonderful with my cats! She was reliable, communicative, and sent regular updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while being away. It was clear my cats were well cared for and comfortable which is all I could ask for. Highly recommend! 🐱💕”


“I'm happy with the service Sabrina provided. She was easy to work with, followed all directions, and took good care of my pets while I was away. I'd be happy to book her again.”


“We had a great experience with John. Not only was he able to help us out in a pinch, (just before a holiday weekend with meet and greet promptly scheduled) our dog loved him and he executed care instructions as planned. He exceeded our expectations of a drop-in sitter. John was a great communicator, giving us daily updates about our dog, sending pictures, and reaching out with major things of notice (nothing bad, but our cat was up to no good). We plan to book John again the next time we need some help with our dog!”

“Emily is very easy to communicate with which helps with peace of mind! The dogs followed her around immediately and she was great with them. Would definitely book again!”


About: I’ve spent many years around cats of all personalities, from shy and independent to playful and affectionate. I’m happy to let a cat warm up to me at their own pace. I’ve personally cared for a cat who required daily medication on a strict schedule, so I understand the importance of keeping their routine consistent. I’m comfortable giving injections and mixing medication with food. For medications that require more hands-on administration, I’m happy to discuss the details beforehand to make sure I’m a good fit. While caring for your cat, I’ll make sure they have everything they need, keep their routine as normal as possible, and give them as much attention (or space!) as they want.

About: I’ve grown up with Cats my entire life. I have 2 mischievous cats, Severus and Cliff. I loved and cared for my own cats throughout my life but also at a job for 16 years. I worked for a boarding, grooming and daycare facility and cared for cats that were being boarded and groomed with us. I am well experienced in feeding, giving medication and the thorough cleaning of litter boxes.
“After a meet and greet last week, Morgan dropped in this weekend to see Luna, our 8 yr old Lab. She arrived right on time, fed her, and took her outside. Morgan texted when she got there, when she left and also to tell us how Luna did - along with a picture. When we got home Luna was very happy. Luna is blind and Morgan did great with her. I’m looking forward to having Morgan back again.”


“This was the third time Cassandra took care of our pet bunny and she is wonderful! We loved getting the pictures and daily updates and when we returned home everything was neat and tidy. Your pet will be in good hands with Cassandra!”

“I cannot say enough about how great Sam was with our fur-babies. She really took the time with them and made our going away super stress free for us and them. We don’t go away often but will definitely look to use Sam again and will recommend and sing her praises to whoever will listen. Thank you so much Sam!!! I cannot say enough how much we appreciate you!!!”

About: I've been around animals my entire life, living in a veritable zoo with cats, dogs, reptiles, fish, hamsters, and siblings. While I've helped care for my parent's pets since I was a child, my first fur-baby is Sully, a 75lb German Shepherd/Black Lab rescue that my wife and I adopted in 2016. Since my primary work is at home, I spend more time with Sully than anyone else! I currently work a full-time job in online education, and I am also responsible for care-giving for my son at least two days per week. I plan for pet-care to be a part-time job where I travel to your home to walk and/or spend time with your pet. I am open to dog boarding if your dog ends up being a good fit and is introduced to my son and dog. I have a fenced-in yard for play, and I'm also a short walk from Woods Hollow Nature Preserve in Ballston Spa. I am out with Sully every 3-4 hours for a walk, potty-break, or to play ball.

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 😉
“Julia and her partner, Adam, are awesome. They have a great outdoor area for the dogs to run around all day. They were great with drop off (our dog didn't even look back) and great with pickup. Moose had a fantastic time and we will definitely be booking again!”

“This is the second time we have sought out Lauren to watch our dogs when visiting the Saratoga Springs area. She is a wonderful sitter and a delightful person. She exudes confidence and that, I believe, adds to the complete relaxation and trust our dogs show for her while they are with a sitter away from home. If you have the opportunity to choose Lauren, do it.”

“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!”


“Taylor is such a life saver being able to watch Whisper on such a short notice. On top of that she was absolutely wonderful with him. She sent me pictures and videos of him running around and having a fantastic time. I would definitely recommend her and would have her watch Whisper again”
“These are the best people my dog has encountered. They answered me for a last minute request on Rover which was a huge blessing. My dog got the chance to experience life on a boat for a day. They interacted with her the entire day, and wore her out. They both gave my dog so much love and she needed it because we're going through a hard time with a temporary small living situation. They were very respectful of how I have raised my own dog and wanted to be positive that I was okay with having my dog going on a boat ride. My dog got to swim for the first time.”


About: I have had pets since I was 4 years old! I love having pets in my home and making them a part of my family. My dog loves every dog she has ever met and loves to have a playmate! If you bring your pet to my house they will be treated like one of my family members! I work full time Monday-Friday 7:30-4, but my husband works from home and I am home all day during the weekends. My husband also loves dogs and has plenty of free time during his work day to take walks and give lots of love! I have a fenced in back yard with lots of room for running. We are on a cul de sac so there is very little traffic in my part of the neighborhood. My home also has several baby gates to make sure that your pet is safe if I have to leave them in the house for a short amount of time.
“My new puppy Klover had an amazing time. She almost didn’t want to leave. I got updates throughout the day and it really put my mind at ease since this was my first time trying a sitter. I would definitely recommend, very loving and caring.”
“Kate was wonderful to work with, she was very attentive to both our dogs needs and we couldn't have imagined a better experience. She kept us updated throughout the day with photos of our doggos enjoying themselves in her large fenced in yard with her dog Stella. If ever in the area again we would not hesitate to seek her services and highly recommend her to look after your fur kids. Thank you so much Kate!”
“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.”

“Kelly provided 5-star doggie day care for our dog as we toured Saratoga Springs and attended a horse race at the Saratoga Racetrack. Besides being a convenient location to Saratoga Springs, Kelly’s house was perfectly set up for dog sitting with a clean food and water bowl. Kelly was so caring and wanted to know of any food restrictions and special care instructions during our dog’s stay. Kelly was incredibly communicative and responsive throughout the booking process as well as during our dog’s stay. She even was super helpful with tips on where to eat and where to go for our day in Saratoga Springs. We will definitely rebook with Kelly in future visits to Saratoga Springs. You can rest assure, knowing that your dog is in great care with Kelly! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“David was able to book us within a few days notice and was very friendly and took great care of our dog. he communicated frequently and was able to work with Benders first time being at day care which I really appreciated. Would absolutely book again!”


About: I’ve been helping care for two of my friends dogs for about 6 years. I’ve been trusted me to walk, feed, and occasionally bathe their pets. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes and types, and I always do my best to follow their routines.

I will do everything I can to make sure your pet is comfortable and happy. I am available all times of the day besides at night when I have soccer practice twice a week, so the pet will be kept on their normal schedule. I am an active person and enjoy taking the pet outside or on a walk if needed.

About: I’ve spent my entire life caring for animals of all kinds—big, small, and everything in between. From growing up surrounded by dogs and cats to earning a degree in Equine Reproduction and working as a veterinary assistant, animal care has always been at the heart of who I am. Over the past 20 years, I’ve raised four amazing Pitbulls, a spunky Jack Russell, and four cats. Our animals truly are our kids. I’ve cared for puppies, kittens, seniors, and special needs pets, and I’m highly experienced with giving medications, recognizing health issues, and providing basic first aid. Whether I’m staying in your home or dropping in for visits, your pets will be treated like family—because that’s how I see them. I understand how important it is to have someone you trust, and I’m here to make sure your pets are safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. I do my best to stay flexible for you and your pets. I’m available for most bookings, including weekends, holidays, and even last-minute requests. Whether you need a quick drop-in, an extended stay, or an emergency sitter, I’m here to help. My goal is to make your life easier while giving your pets the consistent, loving care they deserve. When I’m caring for your pets in your home, my top priority is keeping their routine consistent and their environment calm. I’ll follow your instructions closely—from feeding schedules and potty breaks to favorite toys and cuddle habits—because I know how important the little details are. I aim to keep things stress-free by maintaining your pet’s normal routine, minimizing disruption, and giving them the same love and attention you would. I always treat my clients’ homes with respect, keep things clean and tidy, and make sure you’re updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pets are happy and safe.
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. Socialization is important and I have the knowledge on how to do so safely for each individual dog. All breeds of dogs are welcome. I work from home and am available 24/7. I love being able to take the dogs on either long walks or a quick potty break. I have a fenced in yard and a crate available for any size dog. I am aware of dog safe foods and carry Benadryl and hydrogen peroxide for emergencies.
“Abigail did a great job with our dog Pearl. She was sweet with her and I appreciate her flexibility and communication. Thank you for the last minute availability!”

About: Jeremy and I have always had animals all our lives from small ones such as rodents to reptiles to birds, cats, dogs and even farm animals! I have also been a dog groomer for 3 years now so I understand everything under the sun with them, from administering home vet care such as shots and pills for older senior pets or the care of special needs pets. Maybe your pets have a certain schedule that most people can't do because they work most of the day and need in home 24/7 care because of their needs. Maybe they need in-home grooming such as hair cuts, bath and brush or nail clippings-nail grinding. We can do it all with love and compassion for the pets and their owners in life. From walking to overnight stays, you can rest assure that they will be safe and loved while they are in our care as if they were our own kids because they are not just a pet in your life, to a lot of people they are an extended part of your family and not everyone understands that and that's where we come in! We always make time for the pet in your life, from dog walking to drop ins to overnight stays in your home for the dog or cat in your life. We take care of your pet the way you want us to, walk us through your home and show us everything you want us to do with them with a list and we will make sure your pet is loved and cared for just the way you do.

“We have never left Pepperoni with anyone but family so we did a test run with Jen to prepare for our wedding this month. Everyone we would typically leave Pepperoni with will be attending the wedding so we have been stressing about what to do. Pepperoni already goes to Perfect Paws Parlor so was familiar with Jen and her one dog already, which made this really easy. Jen completely eased our minds and was great by sending updates and photos when she had Pepperoni. Pepperoni came home and passed out, I’m sure she had so much fun with Jen’s dogs. We will be booking with Jen again for our wedding and for other things! It’s great to have someone so reliable and so close to home. Thank you Jen!!”

“Jack did a great job taking care of our dog during our week long vacation. He kept us updated by sending pictures and videos. He picked up and dropped off our dog which was very convenient. He also administered his medication. We highly recommend Jack.”

“I'm thrilled that I found Maegan to care for my dog Finnigan when I go away. Finnigan's first overnight with Maegan was a complete success and I didn't have to worry about a thing! Finn loved her and he loved being with other dogs. I most definitely recommend Maegan as a caregiver for your fur baby!”

“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!”

“This is our 3rd or 4th time booking with John and he never disappoints! He is always such a pleasure and was even able to help us out last minute AND over a holiday weekend! He takes such great care of our elderly dog who usually doesn’t do well in new environments. We are so thankful to have found John :)”


“Taylor is a true animal lover which was evident the moment we met her. She kept our 5 month old morkie busy and provided rest as needed. Taylor kept us informed with pictures throughout the trip. Her flexibility made for a stress free drop off and pick up. I am thrilled we found her and know Finnegan will be happy to visit her again. All this and 10 minutes from our home! What a find!!!”

“Took great care of my pup! Was willing to accommodate his special needs. Received lots of updates and pictures. My pup had a great time and was well loved. Will be booking 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.”

“Where do I even begin? Heidi and her family were life savers. I had a different host that I had booked well over a month before my trip, and on the day of drop off I could not get a hold of her. I was in pure panic mode, and I found Heidi. She lives even closer to my home so that was another bonus. I got all the pictures and updates constantly. She treated my fur baby as if she were her own. She gave my girl a homemade pup cup, sweet potato and rice on her food, and all the snuggles. I know that she was truly in the best hands, and the first host falling through was a blessing in disguise. I would definitely book with her again!”
“Karen was so kind, and really great with Gertie. I was so happy to see her quickly be affectionate with Karen which made me so happy! She sent me sweet photos and responded to my messages very quickly which was much appreciated. She took her into her home and everyone was happy. I am hoping to back up Karen’s way more in the future and will 100% use Karen again and also highly recommend her to other dog parents!!”


“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!”

“I’m very satisfied with Kathleen's service. She cared for my puppy excellently. This was my first experience, and I am glad my Simba found a caring home while I’m away. I travel for work and feel confident I can rely on her in the future. Thank you! Roya Ross”

“Ginger was wonderful. She took our 5 month old puppy for 3 nights. She provided plenty of updates and pictures. We felt very comfortable leaving our puppy with her. I’m thankful we found her through this app.”

“Devin is the Best Sitter we have found for our Lab Reggie ! Reggie I know feels like he is Home and not stuck in a crate like some other sitters. I love that Devin has a genuine love for animals and treats mine like his own !”


“Jude was wonderful! Very caring and loving! Great backyard for our chocolate to run in! She sent updates and pics and videos daily which was great! I would give her 10 stars!”

“Rocky clearly enjoyed his stay with his new friends, although happy to see me he clearly was upset leaving Bear, whined half way home and slept like a rock ! Thanks again to Mike and we will look forward to our next stay :)”


“We couldn’t have been happier with our first experience leaving our dog with Kyle. Her love of dogs is obvious. She took such good care of him and kept in regular contact with us with pictures and videos. He came home happy and unstressed. Actually, I’m not sure he wanted to come home 😆. We definitely recommend her!”
