“It was nice knowing the dogs would have a great time while we were away. They had so many other dogs to play with and so much land to run, play and sniff. Definitely going to board here again when we travel.”
“Laurie is the best!! We are doggy parents to two large dogs and they love staying with Laurie. We are comforted knowing they are having such an enjoyable time and Laurie communicates through text and photos during their stay! Them staying with her makes our getaways more enjoyable because we know they are in such good hands!”
“Chrissy was wonderful with our dog Ronin! She took extremely good care of him. She sent us plenty of pictures. You could not ask for a more kind and caring dog sitter! Ronin clearly had a good time staying with her. I highly recommend her!”
“Our dog was very happy with Jennifer. We are so happy to have found her. She's kind and gentle and she worked with us when we had unknowns about our needs because of a funeral we had to travel for. We were trying to book without full details of when and where we had to be. We feel very fortunate she was willing to be flexible. Our pup was happy that he was the only one she had with her during his stay. He got all of her love and attention. Thank you, Jennifer.”
“Jen was amazing. Took my boy on the shortest of notice and sent pictures the whole time. My boy had a health concern that wasn’t bad enough for her to call me while I was away but was worth mentioning when I picked him up which I can’t even say how much I appreciate. I’ve had bad experiences leaving him before so I get very nervous but 10/10 I’d trust Jen with my dogs any day and would go out of my way to book with her again.”
“Mellysa was absolutely amazing with our puppy, Juniper! She kept her over Thanksgiving and made sure we knew what Junie was up to the whole time. Mellysa sent adorable photos and videos several times a day, let Junie sleep with her, and just made sure she was safe and happy. Mellysa’s home is safe, her yard is fenced, her pups are friendly. We were able to relax and not worry about our Junie at all, even knowing that she usually hates being away from us. We can’t recommend Mellysa strongly enough and we’ll definitely use her in the future! 🙏”
“Sheronda and her family are awesome! They loved having another pug in the house. Elly loved having a pug friend and running with Molly as well as Chewy was great fun for her. We would highly recommend Sheronda as your next dog sitter.”
“Rebecca took wonderful care of our 14 year old Max (Shih Tzu). She gave us plenty of updates and pictures of the fun things he was doing. Max was happy when we picked him up, and tired from his fun stay when he got home. I’d highly recommend Rebecca!!”
“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!”
“Patty was fantastic! I got multiple updates with tons of photos daily. My pups clearly had a blast - they were so tuckered out when we got home! I will absolutely trust Patty with them again and I’m sure my girls will be thrilled to go back!”
“Mikkal’s place was perfect for our energetic pup. She had plenty of space to play and came home happy and tired out. Mikkal was very responsive and gave frequent updates. We will definitely be booking with him again in the future!”
“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!”
“We used Carolyn again and she was exceptional as always. We received regular updates on the animals and lots of photos. Our furry family was very happy and well cared for while we were away.”
“Kate is sooo wonderful! It was my first time looking for a sitter and i was worried because I never left my dog with someone that’s not my family members or friends but my Bella took to her right away and gets so excited to see her. Kate is very responsive to texts and keeps me posted with photos I feel so much at ease knowing that my pup is well looked after. Thank you Kate for taking such a good care of my dog while I was away 🙏🏻”
“Gillian was amazing with my dog, Cooper. She sent me daily updates, pictures and videos. Most days I received multiple messages saying n how he was doing. They really accommodated his needs and let me know when his eye doctor as a little runny. He was as able to sleep with someone, like at home, sleep during the day and enjoy the outside and long walks. I will always reach out to Gillian when I need someone to watch Cooper. He’s lonely today because he’s missing Gillian, Mitch and all his new doggie friends.”
“This was our second booking with Stephanie. She was very accommodating with our dog. It was so helpful that she dropped the dog at our home just as we arrived back home. Our dog arrived happy and well cared for. Stephanie has been reliable, a good communicator, and flexible with each of our bookings. We couldn't ask for a better fit!!”
“Ericca was quick to respond and helped us for doggy day care with 1 days notice. She was friendly and sent updates throughout the day on our dog. We’d love to use her again in the future!”

“Stephanie was amazing. We met her once and knew she was the right choice. She was easily able to handle providing medication and special nutritional needs for our two older girls, as well as, keeping our younger guy busy with plenty of playtime. Steph sent plenty of pictures each day along with a detailed recap of each visit. When we were delayed 2 days getting home from our trip she was happy to extend our agreement to help us out of the jam. I would recommend to anyone needing care for their animals… as long as we don’t need her first!”
“Celeste is absolutely wonderful - she came through at the last minute to help us with our cats, and was a godsend. She is an excellent communicator and was an immediate hit with our cats. She went above and beyond making sure all was well with them. I would not hesitate to recommend her for cat or dog care.”
About: My family adopted my first cat Sadie when I was three. She instantly became my best friend and my love for animals began. When I was a child I volunteered at Saratoga animal shelter where I helped clean the cat cages and played with them. My first job at 14 was a bellhop at a pet hotel, when I checked the cats and dogs into the hotel and set up their rooms. On my breaks, I would sit in the cat rooms and give them extra love. When I was eighteen I adopted two cats, Noodles and Drake, who became the center of my world. I have experience with giving medicine and caring for cats that are ill. Unfortunately, Noodles recently needed surgery so I have experience with after surgery care. I also have a cousin who is a veterinarian, in case of any emergency.
About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of animals my entire life. I’ve gotten up every two hours to syringe feed 4 newborn kittens so to me anything is easier than that. I’ve had outdoor cats and indoor cats.
“Evelyn was a great sitter, very thorough with her questions at the meet up, cautious of dietary and medical requirements, very flexible and kept us very well informed the whole times and our house was immaculate when we got back! we'd hire them again in a heart beat.”
About: I have been caring for animals since I was a child. I started small with hamster and fish, eventually teaching myself to care for larger species through rigorous online teachings and experience. I work part time so that I can spend as much time working with and caring for animals as possible. Ideally taking care of at least 3 pets a day would be best case for me. I do not have the ability to care for pets in my home but I do have the knowledge and experience to crate fur babies when needed without causing them distress. I am familiar with getting animals of all domestic sizes into a state of calm for walks or sleep time or even cuddles after a long day of missing their folks.
About: I’ve been around cats my entire life and have extensive hands on experience caring for them. I also frequently cared for 7 cats for a family member, helping with feeding, litter box cleaning, playtime, and making sure they were comfortable and well looked after. I’m comfortable with different cat personalities and understand the importance of patience, routine, and giving cats the care and attention they need.
About: I’ve always had cats in my home and am very comfortable caring for them. I’m available to stop by for feedings, litter box cleaning, and to spend time giving them attention and companionship. I’m also happy to check in to make sure they’re safe, comfortable, and doing well while you’re away.
“Renee was great and accommodated us for a last minute booking. She was very responsive and gave us lots of pictures and feedback while watching our cat while we were away. I would definitely use her again!”
About: I have worked 5+ years with every age, breed and size dog. CPR certified & knowledgeable in dog behavior, administration of meds, common signs of discomfort in dogs, etc. After graduating college over two years year ago, I have been working for myself full time, providing pet care services. The goal is to open my own daycare/boarding facility in the near future! -Understanding of weather conditions and how each dog is affected differently. (heat, snow, cold temperatures etc.) -Easily able to read signs of distress, anxiety, discomfort etc.
“I’ve had Kherri come over a few times for drop ins to feed my cat and it’s gone well. She’s on time, does exactly what she’s asked, and gives me useful feedback about the visit. My cat can be a little particular about people but he seems to like Kherri which is great! I’m looking forward to using her services again soon.”

Prices are estimates per day. Pricing may vary based on your search. A booking fee of 11% and taxes will apply.
“Devin was super cool and caring. He made me very comfortable by taking care of my 14 month old high energy German Shepherd. He was always available for a call or text and kept me informed about my pups activities during the day care. Will definitely use again, he has the love towards pets, also has a great fenced yard and good facilities to get the energy out from the pups. I am happy and pleased to have used his services.”
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.
“Carolyn watched my pup while I was in the area visiting with a friend. She was super easy to communicate with leading up to and during the the stay. Carolyn was so nice and made me feel comfortable leaving Charlie with her. I highly recommend her! Thanks Carolyn!”
“Mark & Sylva were great hosts for my dog when we needed a few hours of care while my son toured a nearby college. They were welcoming and kind and did a great job with her. I'd happily book again if we're in Troy in the future. Thank you!”
“Our Hoagie had a great time with Monique and Ace. The dogs got alot of playtime and Hoagie got his snuggles from Monique. Great furbaby sitter and she sent pictures of there time together. Will be back for more playdates for sure.”
“Ericca was extremely communicative and flexible when it came to getting my dog dropped off and picked up! Highly recommend, especially if you’re looking for someone with experience with GSDs!”
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.
“MaryEllen was all I could have asked for and more to watch my little girl Nala! She was kind, easy to work with, responsive, and thoughtful! She went above and beyond to make Nala feel at home and welcome! I will absolutely ask her to watch Nala again!”

“Xena had a great time at doggy daycare with Kimberly. I’d highly recommend her. She kept in contact all day and sent photos and videos. Which is what any crazy dog mom needs! ??”
“This was our first experience with Rover and our first sitter for our “little” pup. Lauren was great. Very communicative & friendly. Her ranch was such a great experience for our dog with so much to explore. Thank you Lauren”
“Kania worked great with the new puppy of mine. Wattsin returned further developed each time for the few days of care he was consecutively dropped off for, along with excitement to see her and the family for each play date following. It was a pleasure working with not only caregivers as such, but genuine people... and doggies. Highly recommend! Could not thank them enough.”
“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 bring a unique level of structure, energy, and reliability to pet care through my experience as a college coach. My daily work revolves around building routines, paying attention to small details, and making sure individuals are supported and performing at their best — and I carry that same approach into caring for dogs. I am highly dependable and organized, so you can trust that your dog’s schedule, feeding routine, and exercise needs will be handled consistently.

I pay close attention to behavior, energy levels, and any changes, and I prioritize clear communication so you always feel confident while you are away.

“Evelyn is a wonderful and responsible walker and sitter and takes great care of my dog Freckles. She always spends a full 30 minutes with her (and often longer) and makes sure she has lots of love and attention while I’m away at work. When it’s very hot she pays special attention to Freckles’ comfort and will take her back inside to cool off if she needs it, but still makes sure the visit is the full length of time. I always receive detailed follow-up and adorable photos when the walk is done. Evelyn has had to deal with a couple accidents and has been gracious in cleaning them up before putting Freckles back in her crate. I (and Freckles) highly recommend Evelyn!”

I always want pets to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owner is away, and I’ll treat them like they’re my own.

“Renee was an absolute pup saver for me on my Tallahassee work trip! I got stuck in meetings all day, feeling terrible for my pup who was stuck in the hotel room. I was weary of using a stranger to care for my pup but I read some reviews on Renee and decided to hire her on here. She was so responsive and pleasant right off the bat. Renee went to my hotel, got my pup and took him to the dog park while sending pictures the whole time. She certainly eased my anxiety and gave my boy a couple awesome adventures! Thanks so much Renee you were so good to my pup!”

“Mikkal’s place was perfect for our energetic pup. She had plenty of space to play and came home happy and tired out. Mikkal was very responsive and gave frequent updates. We will definitely be booking with him again in the future!”
“Very pleasant experience. Maegan was very patient and accommodating with my hectic travel schedule. I really appreciated the short-term notice and great, fast communication. My dog seemed to have a great time at her place, and I'm glad we visited her.”
“We had a wonderful experience leaving our pup with Karen. She made us feel completely comfortable and most importantly Lulu was happy! We got frequent updates, Lulu got many walks and we couldn’t be happier with the care she received. Will def book again with Karen!”
“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!!”
“We used Carolyn again and she was exceptional as always. We received regular updates on the animals and lots of photos. Our furry family was very happy and well cared for while we were away.”
“Kate is sooo wonderful! It was my first time looking for a sitter and i was worried because I never left my dog with someone that’s not my family members or friends but my Bella took to her right away and gets so excited to see her. Kate is very responsive to texts and keeps me posted with photos I feel so much at ease knowing that my pup is well looked after. Thank you Kate for taking such a good care of my dog while I was away 🙏🏻”
About: I have worked and lived with working police k9s and pet dogs. I grew up around dogs, cats, and other animals. I foster kittens for the local animal shelter every year for last several years, so there may be some additional felines at times. I’ve delivered babies and have cared for sick animals. My last dog was a giant breed with special needs in the end, and now have a toy Mexican hairless dog, and one indoor/outdoor cat. It’s just me and the two pets so a nice quiet calm house with fenced yard and safe neighborhood with great walking paths. I really enjoy animals and will treat your pet with love and care. If I have to work that day they get whatever care they need in the AM and when I return, I go straight to them. Often I ask the neighbor to give a midday potty break to the dogs if needed! We go for a nice walk, or jog depending on the weather. Sometimes we walk to road other times through the woods. We may go for a little outting, I bring my dog whenever I can, or spend time in the yard hanging out. Couch cuddles are a must, every day for us lol. Days off I center around my pets as much as I can :) Basic necessities are a given: food, water, walking/playing, potty breaks! The cats litter gets scooped and dog poo cleaned up. If needed, medications administered. In my home the pets are family, and we are always willing to temporarily add to it - the more the merrier!
“Kathy looked after our 1yr old Cavalier for 2 nights while we were out of town. Kathy is a knowledgeable and caring dog lover and we have already booked another stay with her.”
“Ericca was quick to respond and helped us for doggy day care with 1 days notice. She was friendly and sent updates throughout the day on our dog. We’d love to use her again in the future!”
