Personalized care for your dog or cat - Gabriels

“Jim and Trinity were wonderful, patient and caring with our pup who was anxious for his first stay away from home. We felt completely at ease through their communication and warm and responsible manner. We would definitely have Argos stay with them again next time we go away! Thank you!!”

“Alli has to be the best Rover sitter I’ve ever booked! She looked after my cat Luna over the thanksgiving holiday and did such a great job. She was super communicative and responsive, and sent me lots of photos and videos with her updates each day. Luna was very happy when I got back and so was I! Will definitely book with her again!”

About: Hello! My name is Sam and I am a life-long animal lover and pet owner. As you might have noticed from my photos I love all types of critters and I've never met an animal I didn't like. From creepy crawlies to furry friends, I'm here for any and every animal that comes my way! I am an experienced sitter and have been watching, walking, and caring for pets of friends, family, and clients for well over a decade. I am a responsible & professional adult with many positive reviews so you can rest assured your baby will be in capable hands. I am very familiar with Rover and have a lot of experience meeting new families and learning new routines quickly. I treat all pets I care for like my own and will be more than happy to let them share my personal space while they wait for you to come home! I also love to take photos of animals so your pet will be my model on our walks. :) While I hold a full time day job as an Outdoor Educator for a local nonprofit, I am looking to supplement my income by filling some of my extra time caring for the pets in my community. I am comfortable with animals of all sizes, breeds, and species and love meeting new people. I am happy to work with locals and visitors alike and can meet folks wherever works best for you & your pet whether that be your home, local parks/hiking trails, rentals, or restaurants. So if you're in the Tri-Lake area I'd love to meet you and your pets! Please feel free to reach out with any questions - thank you for checking out my profile and considering me for your pet sitting needs! 🐸 I work full time for a nonprofit in the High Peaks with a varying schedule between 5am and 7 pm Wednesday - Sunday. I will often available for walks and drop ins visits during evening hours (mostly between 4pm and 11pm) with some daytime & morning availability depending on my schedule that week. For overnight sitting I am available for 2 days a week maximum on Sundays, Mondays, and Tuesdays. I have some flexibility so if you think we would be a good fit go ahead and send me a message and we might be able to work something out. Providing a trustworthy & relaxed experience is very important to me. As a pet parent myself I know how hard it is to leave your baby in the care of a stranger so I want to make sure I do what I can to ease any anxieties and make this a chill process you and your pet. To make sure this goal is met I ask for open communication about pet behaviors and clear expectations about the care I will provide. I have a lot of experience working and staying in other people's homes and know how to respect your space like it is my own. If any pet accidents occur under my watch I will not hesitate to clean them up in a timely manner and I always make sure I leave a home exactly as I found it. To keep your pets & belongings safe I always double check locks and make sure I have eyes on your pet before I leave. I have experience with escape artist pups & cats so I am good about making sure I open and close with care. I am serious about keeping your pets safe and providing a professional experience whether I am staying over night or just stopping. As mentioned in my bio I have over a decade of professional experience working with families to provide in home pet and child care so you can trust that your pet and house are in safe hands.

About: I understand that the worst part of your day is leaving your dog. Saying goodbye when you go to work or go out of town doesn’t have to be so tough once you get to know me. I absolutely love dog’s and gaurentee that I will provide your pup with whatever he/she needs to be happy and feel at home. If it’s just a walk I still make sure your dog is satisfied and happy anyway that I can. I have tons of experience and love my job. I also enjoy going on hiking adventures so let’s get creative and make a plan that exactly fits your dogs needs! I understand that some dogs require more than others. I can’t wait to meet your dog! I work remotely and have a very flexible schedule. I’m a local fishing guide in the area. I will always make your pet my #1 priority. I have a large fenced in yard that the dogs can enjoy anytime they’d like. I do allow dogs on the furniture as they please unless advised otherwise. I try to have a good sense of how your pet is feeling throughout the day and do my best to make them happy as can be.

About: I have had a dog and several cats growing up and taken care of pets for friends and family. I currently live with a my girlfriend her Bernese Mountain Dog. I currently work a 9-5 job so am open to morning and afternoon walks. I am also generally flexible on weekends if planned in advance. My girlfriend has a 130 pound Bernese Mountain Dog which can be a handful. I have learned how to navigate new spaces deescalate situations with him. My strategy is mitigating the possibility for anything to go wrong and being prepared if it does.

“Aleah took great care of our kitties. She sent us pictures and updates while we were away and even befriended our timid guy. We are super appreciative to have someone spend time with our cats since they love company!”

Angela T.

About: I’ve cared for cats my whole life and have experience looking after them in clients’ homes. I provide love, attention, playtime, and follow each cat’s routine to ensure they are happy, safe, and comfortable, including kittens, adult cats, and seniors.

About: Aside from having a family dog for 15 years, I have house/pet-sitting experience working for family members and close friends since 2007. I have never met a pet I didn’t adore. I’m self-employed, which means very flexible hours. Weekends are not out of the question with notice. I always try to find ways to make scheduling work. I will make sure that your loving companions are safe, fed, walked (if applicable), loved and attended to for the entire duration of my visit.

“Wonderful hosts to our dog, he was able to swim and play and sleep in a cool environment. Received pictures throughout the stay that kept our mind at ease.”

“Matt did a great job of watching my 3 month old puppy. She stayed for doggy daycare in Matt's apartment. Matt was super flexible with drop off and pick up time. I received several pictures throughout the day and Raven seemed like she had a great time playing with Bridger.”

Heath P.

“Saveliy was a great sitter for our dog Lucy while we were on vacation in Lake Placid!! He had a very nice setup in his home for her with multiple dog beds and even one setup by a front window for her to lookout. He was also very communicative and kept us updated throughout the day with pictures which I really appreciated. Especially because Lucy is very timid so I’m always a bit nervous leaving her in new places but he really put us (my husband and I) at ease. I would definitely recommend Saveliy if you need a sitter in the lake placid area!”

Sarah G.

“Maddy and Aiden were gracious enough to watch our dog Ella while we spent a half day at Whiteface. Ella looked like she had a fun time playing with Max and relaxing on the couch. Great service and communication, would definitely book daycare again!”

Kyle F.

“Alli was great with our pets. She cared for our dog and cat for a weekend and all went really well. Our dog loved her instantly, and felt really confortable around her from the beggining. She sent frequent updates and lots of pictures. We really felt great about having her taking care of our babies and really recommend her.”

“Shauna was great! She was prompt & friendly with our pup. Highly recommend her for a dog walker, and I’m sure other services as well!”

About: I’ve been dog sitting since I was 17. I have had lots of experience walking active larger breeds and taking care of puppies, kittens and cats. When I’m not hanging out with animals, I stay active and creative. Over the years I’ve worked as a preschool teacher, full time nanny, swim coach/ instructor and security guard in New York as well as Northern California. I believe that understanding animals vocal and physical actions through sincere intuitive observation, is the most important quality to have when taking care of a pet and their needs. Safety, trust & environment; There are many safe trails throughout the Adirondacks that I’m comfortable walking dogs on and I always bring water to share with a on the go water bowl! When traveling with animals I always put on a gentle playlist I made for my own pets to ensure they don’t get any anxiety from the sounds of being on the road. I have a great amount of experience with bathing/ washing dogs and cats for either sensitive issues or just a routine bath for a muddy pup. I have lots of experience with handling and providing medication to animals, as well as bottle feeding with a gentle approach.

About: As a dog mom of three, I understand how important routine, safety, and trust are when someone else is caring for your dog. I provide in-home sitting, walks, and drop-in visits. I’ve cared for both large and small breeds, as well as puppies and senior dogs. I’m comfortable administering medications if needed. My goal is to make sure both you and your dog feel completely at ease while you’re away. Since I work online from home, I can be with your pets throughout the day, giving them love, attention, walks, playtime, and everything they need. Occasionally, I step out for short house cleanings, but I would only be gone for a couple of hours at most. In your home, I make sure your pets are safe, cared for, and loved. I follow their routines, provide walks and playtime, and keep them happy and comfortable while you’re away.
