“So appreciative of Jack and Emily taking great care of our 12 year old golden, keeping him secure and happy even when he was having trouble eating. Jack communicated clearly as always, tried out many ideas for helping Murphy's appetite, monitored his favorite porch napping spot, and provided extensive petting (Murphy's love language). We are so grateful to have such a wonderful addition to Murphy's senior days.”

“Last minute, my usual sitter fell through, and Kate was able to come through and provide my Cooper with a place to stay for the weekend. Kate and her dad provided Coop with excellent care, provided consistent updates and made him feel like home. It was his birthday while I was away as well and they celebrated it and took a video and everything. It was really sweet and above and beyond. I would have Cooper visit these two gems again, anytime with zero trepidation. I strongly encourage anyone in need of a reliable sitter to utilize Kate’s services. Thanks again, again guys!

About: I can not remember a time in my life when I did not have dogs or cat. I currently have a senior dog and a new puppy. They have become part of the family, especially now that both my sons have moved out. I have had the same job for 16 years in the medical field. Therefore, I am a very reliable and conscientious worker. I enjoy walks with my dogs and they get all the love, attention and pampering I can give them. I would do the same for your beloved pet. I know how much they mean to you, since I feel the exact same way. I have cared for many pet in my 54 years. From senior pets, puppies and those with medical issues. I have a very flexible schedule. I have been a respiratory therapist for over thirty years
“Ciera took care of our cats very well. She came to meet them and then did each visit thoroughly. Checked everything. Spent time with them (which our cats love) . She sent pictures of the cats and a report each day. She is engaging and friendly. It was comforting to know they were in good, caring hands. We would be happy to hire her again. The cats say "meow" (they liked her) too.”
“I'm so grateful for Aya. I never worry about Mr. Winston when we are out of town because I know she will take good care of him. Aya is very dependable and always goes above and beyond. Thank you Aya!!”
“Jenna was a wonderful caretaker for our cat. We were away for a week and she came to our home several times a day to tend KittyKat and keep her company. We were a little nervous giving a key and access to our home to someone we didn’t know, but she was excellent, trust worthy, and even helped with a few household things that came up. I would definitely hire Jenna again and highly recommend her to others. Thank you Jenna!”
About: I’ve met more cats than I care to count and there’s no companion quite like them. I was a part of caring for the cat in my profile picture, he was older than all of my siblings and was very much family to me for most of my life. He and others such as my current cat, coco, have shown me what it means to care for another living being. I’m confident I can care for most any cats and would love to do so.
“Kevin kept an eye on my cats while I went away for Christmas. He was awesome! He was attentive to the cats when he came over, cleaned the litter boxes and gave them cat food. He even took the time to warm up and play with them for a while when he came over. I’ll definitely be using Kevin again anytime I need a drop in visit!”
About: I grew up with cats my entire life, and have cared for my own cat solo for the past 6 years. I’ve cat-sat for neighbors and friends a lot in the past. I volunteered at the Menands Humane Society for about a year cleaning litter boxes, preparing food, and socializing with the tenants. Part of my time there was spent with feral cats, so I’m prepared to accommodate cats of any socialization level! I am comfortable working with very young cats as well as senior cats. Three of my cats growing up lived to be 16+ years old, and I assisted with their daily care. I can administer oral medication, but would want an in depth description of how you typically give those meds so I can make the process go as smoothly as possible.
“Colleen was a real blessing, took on my 4 animals in one days notice for 4 days. I had a sitter booked and she was a nightmare night one and Collen just picked up where she left off not knowing me or my pets and I was already away in another state. She was so compassionate and loving toward them and me, lots of great pictures throughout, brought in my mail and garbage can. Sweet as can be!! Thank you Colleen for being there for us!!”
“Allison was absolutely wonderful with my pup! She’s reliable, caring, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. From our first message, she was professional and easy to communicate with—always providing updates and photos so I knew my dog was happy and safe. I came home to a calm, well-cared-for pup and a tidy house. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my dog was in such capable hands. I would 100% recommend Allison to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter.”

“Our cat, Chumley, took to Madison right away. She has a wonderful kind and loving energy. We felt very comfortable having Madison come into our home while we were away. Madison sent us the cutest picture of Chumley while visiting with him. We are very pleased with her service and highly recommend her! Thank you Madison!!!”
“We absolutely recommend Samantha to anyone looking for help with their pet , she is a wonderful, caring, professional and kind person who adores animals!!! We were so thrilled with her services, and will definitely use her again. She came to our house for several weeks, doing drop-in visits with our dog when I was out of town working remote. I received a over Report Card everytime, detailing all the care and the fun that they had together. She also sent multiple pictures everytime as well. Millie looked forward to Samantha's visits and they became fast best friends. They played fetch, went on walks, had potty breaks and food breaks and lots of cuddling! Thank you Samantha:)”

I understand that every pet has their own personality, so I take the time to help them feel comfortable and follow each owner’s instructions to provide the best care possible.

About: I have had both cats and dogs for nearly my entire life. I have owned and cared for dogs of all ages and sizes, some with special needs. I believe that for the love and companionship animals offer us, the least we can do for them is make sure they are well loved back and always happy and healthy! My summer job is ending September 26th and my schedule will be wide open after that while I am on the hunt for a new job. With enough bookings, I would love to make helping you take care of your pets my job! 😊 I look forward to helping with your pet care needs and making new friends! ☺️ If you have a fenced in yard, I am more than happy to play with your pup in their own yard. If you do not have a fenced in yard, I would just ask that their leash and a secure collar be placed in an area where it is easy to find, as well as instructions of how far/long you would like them to be walked/exercised. I am also willing to accommodate any other requests clients may have to ensure the safety and well being of their pets.

I love people too, but let’s be honest here, not as much as my fur babies! I do not even call my dog a dog. She means that much to me! I live in a rural area and I have some land, I have my own house, I have a huge house, lots of windows, my house is cheerful, I am cheerful, I cook for my fur baby friends, Your baby will not only be loved, but cared for, well taken care of, but part of my family! I love to walk! I also love to have fun and enjoy life! Walking your angel is a joy to me!. Not only will it be their exercise, but enjoyment for your loved one! I do house sitting and cleaning too. Please call me. I am a very honest, loving, compassionate, caring person who works well with people too! I love my animals! I will board your fur babies while you are at work and I also will work around any last minute plans. I also do doggy day care, Check-in’s, Walks, Activities and more! Just drop me a message on here! 🤗 I love what I do! I love being around animals! I do this full time as my job even though it is more like a passion than a job to me. I stay at people’s houses. I travel and do pet sitting, I stay over night a lot. The most was a week that I worked for with a client and stayed at their house the whole time. I will also do day sitting or check-ins but mostly overnight and pet sitting during the day at my clients homes. Traveling is a lot and a lot of people like when you stay at their homes with their animals and care for them. The animals are safe and feel comfortable in their own environment. I make sure that all my fur babies are cared for, loved, given the attention that they need and all their needs are met. I am a traveling pet sitter now. I like to stay within the 30 mile radius even though I have done some farther away, but for now I want to stay with the 39 mile radius. I use to board animals in my home until I sold my house just recently. Now, I travel to my clients homes. I mostly stay overnight and for more than one day because my clients go away on vacation. I do many services for my clients. I walk your animal, feed your animal whether if it’s can food, dry food or home made food which I have made home made food for my fur babies before and still do. I administer medication to animals, groom them, brush, bathe, keep them active and help them with their mobility, Play, do fun activities with my fur babies, train, keep them busy and entertained and plenty more. I make sure your animal is well cared for, loved like he or she was my own, given the attention it needs, Be happy and even more. I go over and beyond for my fur babies and each and everyone always feels safe, comfortable, loved, happy and etc….. I have a lot of clients and some of them I care for during the Summer when they go away a lot and some of my clients I care for during the week and on wknds. I am very easy to work with because I am a good person. Good people work with good people. All my clients know how caring I am and feel good about leaving their loved ones with me.

“So appreciative of Jack and Emily taking great care of our 12 year old golden, keeping him secure and happy even when he was having trouble eating. Jack communicated clearly as always, tried out many ideas for helping Murphy's appetite, monitored his favorite porch napping spot, and provided extensive petting (Murphy's love language). We are so grateful to have such a wonderful addition to Murphy's senior days.”

“Can we leave six stars? 10 stars? Alex and Bethany made my dog feel welcomed and loved from the first meeting. She acted as if she had known them her whole life, with big Staffie smiles and wiggles. Lots of space to run and play both inside and out. Daily updates with photos Genuine concern for our dog both physically and emotionally. We are so happy with the care provided that we are looking for excuses to leave our dog with them again 😁”

Honestly they took all my fear and anxiety away and made the weekend stress free! Thank you again for everything!!”
“Aimee was amazing with our baby Bacon! She sent updates and pictures daily and made sure he was happy and well cared for during his visit.

About: I grew up around animals. I have taken care of my own dogs, cats, rabbits and fish throughout my life. I have also taken care of friends pets when they’ve gone out of town. I am comfortable with large and small dogs, cats, and caged animals. I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of time for your pets. I have a 4yr old who is comfortable around animals and I am available for boarding if your animal is comfortable with men, women, and children. I live on a quiet street in an apartment and look forward to walking with your dog at my home or yours. I am comfortable working with multiple kinds of collars and leashes.
About: I’ve had pets since I was born. I love to take my dog on walks at the beach and play in the yard with him. I am attentive to any reactions they might have to their surroundings as well. I’ve been looking for a job during the week days and I figured why not try this out to maybe help some families live their life if they’re on vacation or super busy. I have a friendly dog who will keep any pets company. I have a big yard with sun or shade if any dogs love to be outside. I also have crates if dogs need to be crated during the night or day.

“My pup is very attached to me and leaving him is difficult because I know he misses us but Deanna and Chris treated my pup like their own family and were wonderful, attentive, loving, and kind. They go above and beyond to make sure your fur baby is loved while you are away. They truly love animals and care for them like their own. I highly recommend them for anyone who needs to leave their fur baby for a period of time.”
