“Margaret and her children took such loving care of Windy, I can’t thank them enough! Margaret kept me updated on how Windy was doing which I very much appreciated especially since I had never her left her like this before. I would highly recommend Margaret as a very experienced and loving dog caregiver.”
“Destiny took care of our puppy for us the first time we ever had to leave him. She provided a safe, comfortable environment with plenty of exercise and play time. She was super communicative and sent us daily messages and photos while were away! Highly recommend!”
“Caitlin did a great job taking care of our Italian Greyhound. Her schedule was flexible for drop off and pick up, she sent pictures in the morning and evening and let us know how he was doing. It was pretty much seamless and what I would have expected. I would use Caitlin again.”
“Kevin was an exceptional host,, this was our first time using a home doggy daycare and Kevin put our mind at ease. His home is perfectly set up and Wiskey had a great time. We have no qualms recommending Kevin.”
“We will definitely stay with her again, I talked and she sends me photos of my dog all the time, I was calm and because she has her safe and clean space. She answered my questions quickly and helped me with my reservation, a great person. Lu and I love her ❤️?”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats so caring for pets comes naturally to me. I will provide a comfortable home suitable for your pets. Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine! I work part-time doing deliveries, which gives me the flexibility to create my own schedule — meaning I can easily adapt around your pet’s needs rather than the other way around. 🐾 Whether you need early morning visits, midday check-ins, or evening walks, my availability is largely open and I’m happy to work around what works best for you and your furry family member. Consistency and reliability are really important to me, so once we establish a routine that works, I stick to it! My home is a safe and comfortable place for your pet without any children or other animals. My time is solely dedicated for your loved ones.
About: I’ve been petsitting for family and friends for two decades now, and would love the opportunity to help you out as well! I love all pets big and small, with familiarity with dogs, cats, lizards, rodents, and birds! Bonus! I’m a teacher as my day job, so you can trust that I’ve been solidly background checked, fingerprinted, etc, ensuring a safe, trustworthy person around your pets on a predictable schedule. I am a full-time teacher from September to June. This means that my summers are wide open, and you can count on a reliable consistent schedule for your pets during the school year. Since I have my own cats at home, I offer pet-sitting at your home on your schedule. This can range from stop ins for potty breaks to walks every few hours to overnight stays - you tell me and I’m there! We’ll discuss your expectations to make sure that your pets get exactly the care you expect during your time away, and I promise clear and open communication while you trust me to watch over your babies! (If you are looking for boarding, please be aware that I have cats at my home. Any pup coming in MUST be good around cats, for everyone's comfort!)
About: I’ve had dogs cats and currently have a bearded dragon, and have had no problems. My sister has used this app for a while and I have helped her. I work Monday to Thursday with weekends off. I will be able to care for the animal at anytime during the weekend or after 4:30 on weekdays. I’ve never had any problems with animals in my house. All of my animals are healthy and I always respect other peoples houses and properties.
“We're so happy we found Ashley! Georgie had the time of his life hiking with her (we can tell because he is completely passed out at home now - which is incredibly hard to do with a husky). The picture updates are such a nice bonus as we get to see how happy he is throughout the day. G can't wait to spend some time with Ashley in the near future again! =)”

“5 stars! Christie is amazing! She does stop-in checks for our fearful cat and always takes the time to look for him when he’s hiding, even sending us a picture once she finds him. I tend to book last minute, and she’s always so accommodating. She even brings in packages and helps out with anything else we need. We’re grateful for her and will definitely continue to be repeat clients. Thank you, Christie!”
“This was my second time booking with Nu and everything went perfectly! She was very accommodating when I told her we adopted a new cat, and followed all my instructions. The kitties love to see her!”
“Dekoda was great with Muffin! She followed all of the instructions perfectly and sent multiple daily photos. She was very reliable and responded right away when I texted her. I’m so grateful she was willing to take care of my rabbit. I definitely recommend, and I would gladly have her take care of Muffin again.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all ages and sizes. From basic training of puppies to elder care, hospice care and administering medication. I’m patient, kind and enjoy all energy levels. Whether they are movie & couch potato pups, prefer swimming at the river or playing ball in the meadow, I’m always excited to give them the best time they can have. I work a rotational schedule allowing me to have blocks of 3 weeks off at a time. During that time I am fully available for any pet care needs. have over 3 acres of woods & meadows for frolicking that back up to more wooded areas, I’m a short drive from two beautiful river walks or swimming (seasonal). I do have crates available if needed. I have a good selection of pet basic first aid and hygiene supplies.
“Kayla was fantastic with our fur baby! We were anxious leaving him, but she went above and beyond to ensure he was happy and felt loved! She communicated often to reassure us and sent pics of his smiling face. She spoiled him like one of her own and we’re grateful for her love and care! I truly think he misses her since our return!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Potsdam
About: I have had my own dogs for 9 years, In which I have taken care of their food, walking, medicine, and play time. I also love to hug them. I am a home-school mom of a 14 year old boy. I have a Yorkie Chihuahua who can play with your dog and make some new friends. I do not have a fence but I walk my dog with a chain, and at home they can walk freely. I preferably don't like them on my sofas or bed though.

“Krystal provided the perfect environment for Pooh. He got great care. At 13, blind and with diabetes, he still finds ways to get in trouble. He was safe. His medical needs were addressed and he was able to play safely with other pets.”
“Connie is awesome and laid back. She sent pics of our pups cuddled up on her. That says it all: they were comfy and happy so we could relax on our getaway. Will be using her services again. Thanks Connie!”
About: I’ve grown up with all sorts of animals, so caring for them just feels like second nature to me. I’ve spent years fostering dogs with all kinds of personalities, from shy and nervous to wild and goofy, and I love figuring out what makes each one feel safe, happy, and comfortable. I even ran my own dog walking and boarding business back home, so I totally get how hard it is to leave your pet with someone else. I treat every animal like they’re part of my own family (yes, that includes talking to them like they understand everything). I’ve cared for all ages; playful puppies who need help learning manners and social skills, and sweet senior pets who need meds, patience, and a little extra TLC. Whether it’s long walks, cuddle time, or just keeping routines consistent, I’m all about making your pet feel loved while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my routine since I have a dog of my own and we’re already out for walks and playtime every day. Adding another pup or pet along just feels easy and fun, and I’m happy to keep everyone on a comfortable, familiar schedule. Safety always comes first for me. I live on a quiet roundabout with very little traffic and I’m always supervising outside time. I’m right on the water for pups who love swimming or chasing a ball, and there are lots of nearby trails I love taking dogs on for walks. For any little escape artists, I’m happy to keep things on-leash so everyone stays safe and happy!

“Travis. Originally came to our house for a meet and greet before we arranged for the dog walking service. Travis has now completed 3 dog walks with our young lab. Travis has very good communication skills, is friendly and reliable. Goose (the lab) enjoys his time with Travis :)”

About: My family have had rescue dogs since before I was born and I was raised around a variety of dogs of different temperaments and energy levels. I am comfortable with timid and reactive dogs and have trained my dogs to perform a variety of tricks. I work remotely and generally open availability, though I am not available on the weekends. I am ideal if your dog needs mid-day walks or company while you are away at work. I live with both cats and dogs and don't offer in-house pet sitting but am comfortable traveling to you to walk or watch your pet.
About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and no one should ever have to worry about quality pet care while away. Call on me. I am plenty capable of being where I’m needed, at any time of day. Don’t feel like you don’t have options. I’m one call away. I am a responsible, respectful, private & compassionate person. I’m within the Massena area and willing to drive if needed. Just give me a call or text.
About: I love being around animals and spending time with them. I find myself walking in the outdoors a lot which I would love to do with dogs! I currently work as a full time RN 3 days a week. This allows for a pretty flexible schedule to give more time to my animals, and yours! I have one dog of my own that does not always play well with others. It is preferred for me to watch animals not in my own home for the dogs safety.
About: I have taken care of dogs, cats, even alpacas and horses! Since I was around 7 years old. I have a genuine love for all animals and would do anything to make sure they’re all loved! I have experience with senior dogs, who need special care and medication, as well as puppies, who need that time to get their extra energy out as well as doing some training for simple commands. I’ve also trained dogs to run or walk while biking and rollerblading I have also helped with toy and food aggressive and help families with dogs who are nervous around men to become more comfortable. I am currently working part time, so I have plenty of free time to housesit do check-ins, really whatever is needed and I can be available on short notice! Well, being in your home, I will always be very courteous and clean, making sure that myself and your animals are safe, comfortable and loved
