Personalized care for your dog or cat - Holcombville

“Carrie was very flexible when I had a family situation and had to modify my time request. She sent photos of the dogs and reached out when she was concerned about them not eating. When I arrived for pick up, she had everything ready for me. I will definitely use her services again and would highly recommend her.”

Shawn B.

“I was in a pinch and needed someone to take my pup for the night and she was so much more than accommodating! Above and beyond for sure! I will 100% have her watch my baby again!”

Cassondra K.

“Alex was a wonderful sitter during our Lake George vacation. She sent multiple pictures every day and was quick to answer any questions. Fen loved playing with her dogs and daycare puppies too. We will definitely use her again for our next visit!!”

“Mikaela was really great! She was gracious to watch our pup while we attended a wedding nearby and was extremely communicative leading up and throughout his stay! We would absolutely book with Mikaela again.”

About: I have cared for dogs of every breed for more than 40 years. I frequently provide overnights in my home and pop in visits for friends & family dogs and have decided to start offering my services to all of you. I am a huge dog lover and will treat your babies like they are my own. Rest assure that you will be worry free while your fur-baby is enjoying their best life in daycare. You will receive updates and many photos while you are away Must be house-trained and not have to wear diapers or pee pads. I understand an accident can happen especially being in a new place. Must be friendly with people and all other dogs without having any aggression Must be up to date on their shots I currently work a full time job and I’m available for boarding on Friday evenings thru Sunday evening with the possibility of boarding during the week. The same goes for drop in visits I have a big yard but it’s not fenced in. I do have a very long lead that goes from one end of the yard to the other for the dogs that cannot be outside without a leash

“Jacqueline took such good care of our Gabby. As soon as she opened the door Gabby ran right to her. When Jacqueline picked her up Gabby gave her lots of kisses. It was such a good feeling leaving Gabby knowing she liked her. We would highly recommend Jacqueline.”

“Shari and Connie were fantastic! Definitely recommend them. My 1yr old dog Olivia had a terrific time - they took her on great walks and gave her loads of attention, plus have a fabulous yard and great home that she felt very comfortable in. They also sent me regular updates, which I really appreciated. I think so highly of them that I’ve already booked another stint for Olivia in a few weeks!”

About: Not only have I had pets ever since I was little but I have been taking care of them. Friends and family have come to me time and time again to board, walk, bathe or just give their dog some fun for a couple hours! Growing up we raised golden puppies so I have lots of experience with puppies and their needs. I used to work at a dog grooming shop, so handling any type of personality is no problem for me. I love getting outside with any furry friend for some fun as well! I’m currently working part-time so my schedule is pretty malleable to help out with pets. Weekends vary depending on the time of year. Happy to work it out at booking. I live in a house and am around to take your pet outside for multiple walks throughout the day. I can also crate them if need be. I do have a kitty so animals need to be able to get along with a cat.

“Reliable, caring, and pure animal lover. He’s our cat’s best friend!! With Jonathan we can go away without worrying. He is trustworthy and communicative at every visit.”

“Kim cat sit for my 2 cats while I was on vacation. Her fees were quite reasonable. She did all I asked to take care of my kitties, and went the extra step of cleaning up after they vomited. She expressed some concern regarding this and my cats health, as it was a few days running. It was likely caused by some factors that were out of her control (e.g., eating dried out wet food that probably wasn't good anymore). One cat is prone to throwing up - she will go weeks without throwing up, and then throw up daily (sometimes multiple times a day) for a few days. Due to an injury, I returned home earlier than expected. Kim helped get a partial refund from Rover for the days that went unused. Overall, I was quite happy with Kim. I took away one star, as it appears she forgot to give them fresh water on the last day.”

Derek S.

“Emily was the closest Rover sitter to me in a remote location, put she was still about 20 minutes away. She stopped by AFTER a full days work, which was at least another 20 minutes in the opposite direction from me. Despite these logistics, Emily showed up consistently early evening immediately after her work day. She performed all the duties necessary during each visit, plus she performed some special handling for a package that arrived while I was away. I would not hesitate using her again, and would recommend her.”

I also do walks around your neighborhood as well if needed. i am a honest, hardworking and trustworthy person and i will treat your pets as if they were my own, because really isn't that what every pet owner wants? to know that their pets are taken care of and loved when they are away for long periods of time or just for the day while your at work. I always make time for clients and there pets no matter what. I will treat your dog as my own, and i am available 24/7.

“Brandy was awesome with our cats! Thank you ?”

“Lillian was very responsive and reliable. I would highly recommend her and will definitely use her again in the future if needed.”

“Karen was absolutely wonderful with my two cats. She stayed in my house with them for over a week during Christmas and New Years, was a great communicator, kept me updated with photos, and I felt very reassured leaving my pets with someone so responsible. Upon my return everything was tidy, the cats were well fed with extra food and water laid out, and litter boxes cleaned. It was a great experience and so wonderful having her take care of them while I was away so I could relax and enjoy my vacation worry free.”

About: Common courtesy and communication is paramount. **Willing to travel up to an hour away. Just because Rover says you are outside my service area it does not always mean you are. I have clients an hour North and South of me. **Necessary update as of 6/21/23** I will require current credit card info be on file at your vet or provided for me in your pet write up ONLY in case of emergency. In the event of an emergency and I could not get a hold of the human, puppies have no pockets to hold a card, the vet required me to pay. I have raised 3 separate RESCUE Rottweilers to be exceptional ambassadors of their breed. I currently do not have any pets since my big boy passed away in 2016. I hope to again one day have my own dogs. Until then I will love YOUR pet. **I DO NOT board animals at my home. Only repeat clients would MAYBE be possible for a very short amount of time.** Clients pets have included many breeds, species for days, weeks. Many Golden Retrievers, Doodles, mixes aka Heinz57s, Old English Sheep dog, lots of kitties, a chameleon, turtles, a bearded dragon, a small bird, fish, Rottweilers, a very challenging but lovable English Bulldog and Huskies one of which was very reactive. Oh and a LOT of house plants! PLEASE NOTE: I am deathly allergic to horses which I am very sad about. Any type of animal requiring LARGE amounts of hay would also be a problem i.e, goats, cows, alpacas I am sorry to say. Small rodent animals requiring hay for food or bedding has not been a big deal. My personnel dogs were very public dogs, parks, events etc. With the ever present fact in mind that as good as my animal was it is still an animal. Never purposely putting them in a situation to be loose (unless at home or a fenced park) or get into anything that could harm them. Read quite a few books/manuals by military working dog trainers in hopes of training a service oriented Rottie. Came very close to passing the Good Citizen certification but my dogs never liked the “stay” part when I had to walk away with my back turned. They just had to be next to me. So close. PLEASE NOTE: I have my preferences set to NOT to show any photos of YOUR pet publicly. I would ask permission first to share. Photos only NEVER infomation of course. My schedule allows me to be available to be in YOUR HOME, with your pets all day/night, unless noted ahead of time and of course trips to the store. I have many types of animals that insist on sleeping in bed just like they do when their people are home which in fine by me. Just take some Benadryl and snuggle on in. I try to stick closely to how the home runs normally so the pets do not have any surprises that can make them anxious. Sleep, food, walks, play time etc. I supervise dogs in their own yard fenced or not. I am very organized and like an outlined idea of their schedule to be written down for me to follow as closely as YOU would.

“Colleen was great! She came a few days before to meet my (high maintenance) cat and see the space. She was super warm and nice - I had no qualms about leaving my baby in her care. She updated me a couple times of day, with pictures! My cat was healthy and happy after she left, and the house looked great - she even took out my trash! I would (and will) 100% book Colleen again!!”

Jessica B.

“Walter had such a wonderful stay! He loved playing with the other puppies and came home ready for a long sleep! Great communication and felt very safe. Thanks so much!”

Elizabeth H.

“Mikaela was great! She was able to watch our pup for about 1/2 the day while we went tubing. Would definitely be happy to have her watch Georgie again!”

Ed T.

“Rufus had a great time with Shari. He wanted to keep staying there when we went to pick him up 😂 I would absolutely have Rufus stay again with Shari!”

About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. As a kid, I cared for hamsters, fish, and even a little parakeet. At 19, I adopted Max, a sweet lab mix who became my constant travel companion for 11 wonderful years as we explored the East Coast together. I’ve raised all my dogs from puppyhood, giving me plenty of experience with training, socializing, and caring for them through every stage of life. Today, my family and I live on 220 beautiful acres in Chestertown with: Beauty – Aussie Heeler mix (5) Scooby – lovable mutt (2) Yakko & Dot – tuxedo cats (3) 70+ chickens with big personalities A lively 55-gallon aquarium with community fish and snails, which has taught me the importance of maintaining delicate habitats Living with so many animals — from dogs and cats to chickens and aquarium life — has taught me patience, adaptability, and the joy of connecting with creatures of all kinds. Whether it’s walking a high-energy dog, keeping a shy cat comfortable, or caring for fish and poultry, I treat every animal like they’re part of my family. I split my time between Chestertown and Glens Falls, which means I can offer flexible pet care in both areas. I’m available for drop-in visits in Glens Falls on the days I’m there, as well as home stays in either location. I’m currently recovering from a car accident and walk with a cane, so while I can’t take dogs on long walks, I can safely let them out into a fenced yard or supervise them on a lead. At this time, I’m not offering boarding services in my own home, but I do plan to in the future. For now, my focus is on providing reliable, in-home care and check-ins so your pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in yours, their safety and comfort always come first. In your home, I follow your routines closely — from feeding schedules to favorite playtime activities — so pets feel secure in their familiar space. I make sure doors and gates are secure, keep an eye on water and food bowls, and provide supervised outdoor time in fenced areas or on a lead. In my home (for future boarding services), pets will enjoy a calm, animal-friendly environment on our 220-acre property, safely separated from my own animals as needed. I have experience managing dogs, cats, poultry, and aquarium life, which means I’m attentive to different needs and personalities. As a volunteer firefighter here in Chestertown, safety and responsibility are part of my everyday life. I also believe trust is built through clear communication — you can expect regular updates, photos, and honest feedback while your pets are in my care.

About: Ive taken care of all types of animals large and small. From monarch caterpillars and goldfish to pigs and horses. I was entrusted with the care of neighbor's pets, friend's farms, and took on the care of the rescued strays as part of the dog control in my hometown. Im no stranger to administering medication as needed. Animals are my livelihood so you can rest assure that your furry, feathered, or scaly family member will be happy, safe, and loved with me :) Last minute changes aren't a problem so if you decide to vacation a little longer, thats no problem. I am flexible with scheduling most days. I am able to come to your house and petsit there making it easier on your fur-family. I can do drop-ins or overnights, daily walks and playtime, feeding, and medication administration. Anything your pet needs, i can provide. Side note-for the time being I am not providing doggy day care in my home. However I can do so at your home, campsite, hotel, or wherever you are staying.

About: I've had pets since I was 7 years old and have always loved animals. My husband and I have 3 cats, Olive, Marcel and Gus. I enjoy being able to spend time with other people’s pets and ensure they are cared for and have the same routines and schedules as when their pet parents are home. I’ve cared for friends and family's animals in the past. I can administer medicine, follow feeding schedules, walk, play and spend quality time with your pets while you are away. My husband and I moved from Indianapolis to New York in October of 2022. We’ve been spending most our time on home renovations and loving how peaceful our new home is. I am available to stay in client’s home and/or provide drop in care and walks as well. I will follow instructions provided so that you feel confident your pet is well cared for and I will update you with pictures and check in regularly.

It comes without any reservation that I would wholeheartedly recommend Colleen for any type of care.”
