“Saskia was absolutely fantastic! She took such wonderful care of our two energetic dogs and our energetic cat, and we couldn't have been happier. She truly went above and beyond, staying in constant communication with us the whole time we were away and sending photos and updates that really put our minds at ease. She put an incredible amount of heart into caring for our pets—she easily gave one hundred and fifty to two hundred percent—and her response time was incredibly fast.”
“Deanne took great care of our two dogs for over 2 weeks. It was the longest time we have been away from them but we did not need to worry, they had a great stay. Highly recommend.”
“Candice was absolutely wonderful!!!!!!!! This was my first time leaving my baby boy with anyone! I was kept updated with messages and pics. Would definitely recommend and/or book with Candice again.”
“Brigid did a great job taking care of our senior dog for the first time. She was very communicative and sent us photos of various happenings during the days that Jessie was at her house. We appreciated knowing that all was well while we were away. Brigid was very conscientious in following through with all instructions for our dog’s care. We have already booked her for another time.”
“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!!”
“Nicole and family were amazing!! Rummi was treated as a member of the family as soon as she arrived. Nicole provided regular and detailed updates as well as adorable photos. Rummi is wiped out from all the fun she had during her stay. We will definitely be booking with Nicole again! Highly recommend.”
“Sheronda was great! Communicated often with us, sent us lots of great photos of our dog, and did a great job socializing him with the other dogs (making him comfortable). She has a great back yard (fenced in), with lots of great areas to walk dogs. Overall we are super pleased, will be booking with them again!”
“Darcy was fantastic with my dog, Blaze! Her own dog is so sweet and Blaze had a wonderful time. I got updates and pictures throughout his stay. We will definitely be using Darcy as a sitter again!”
“Alyson was wonderful! She was very patient with my dogs, even when they got nervous and peed on her floor. They quickly warmed up to her and her dog, and from the photos she sent, it was obvious they were having a great time. I will definitely rebook with Alyson.”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. My first job was as an Animal Care Technician with the Humane Society, and I later worked at a military veterinary clinic for more than five years. Caring for animals isn’t just a job for me, it’s something I’ve been passionate about since childhood. I’ve always had pets of my own and have rescued many animals over the years. To me, pets are family, not just animals. When your pet stays with me, my home becomes their home. I’ll follow and reinforce your training and household rules, while also making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether your pet enjoys playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply relaxing, I tailor their care to their individual personality and energy level. I currently work full-time. But not too far from my job. So I can always come home to let pets out if need be. I will be available to give them all the attention in the afternoon and on the weekends with the help of my kids who just adore any animal. I have a fenced in yard with one dog and one cat to keep your pet company. I can also crate your pet if needed.
“Margie and her family are absolutely wonderful. Very easy to schedule a meet and greet, time to drop off/pick up our dog and received plenty of updates and photos. Our dog has anxiety issues and Margie made sure to care for her needs (excelled, really), and was comfortable giving medicine to her each day. We will book another time for sure!”
“Mary and Todd are the absolute best dog sitters! Their great care for our dog Toby gives us a lot of peace of mind. We know he is having a great time — it shows in the photos that Mary sends to us throughout his stay.”
“Chris was attentive to my dog's need and was easy to communicate with and was flexible to work with. My dog enjoyed his time under Chris' care. Would highly recommend”
“Cache is absolutely amazing with our nervous boy, we appreciate all that she does for him while he’s there with her! He loves all the fruit he gets to snack on especially!”
“We are so fortunate to have met Kyle. It is clear how much she loves dogs and goes to great lengths to be sure that they are comfortable. She sends lots of updates, pictures and videos, so the parents are put at ease as well. Our anxious pup was immediately at home, and came back happy and tired from all of the play. Thank you to our new friend Kyle for spoiling our fur baby!”
About: I have years of experience with many different types of dogs. I watch dogs on a regular basis. For younger dogs I can offer a mountain hikes and for older dogs I can walk them on boardwalk trails that are easy on the joints, yet give the dog the sense of walking in the woods. I don't mind larger dogs at all. I also am willing to cook food for dogs. I very much enjoy the company of dogs and find that when they are well fed and exercised they are really pleasant to be around. Please give me honest description of your dog so I can plan His/Her visit accordingly. My house is set back (1000 feet) from a country road . I can pick up dogs in NYC , Great Barrington , Hudson, or Albany for a fee. I have watched many dogs over the years. Usually I try to walk them as much as possible. I feed them well , but make them follow the sit command before being fed and multiple times a day. All dogs have to be on a slip proof leash when outside or dropped off. Dogs often don't behave as they do at home . Once off a leash it can be very difficult to recapture a dog. In the house I don't crate dogs . We can only watch a few dogs at once. If your dog is very difficult let me know in advanced. Also Corgies get 10% off.
About: Are you tired of coming home to a pup who's got more energy than a toddler with a sugar high? Do you worry your dog's "walk" with the other guy is more of a "stand in one spot and sniff a bush" kind of situation? Well, you've come to the right place! I'm not just another dog walker; I'm a professional adventurer, a master of fetch, and a connoisseur of belly rubs. I provide top-notch care and unforgettable experiences for your furry family members. With me, your dog won't just get a walk—they'll embark on a journey filled with tail-wagging excitement, new smells, and maybe even a few belly rubs! Let's get them out for an adventure they won't stop barking about. Ready to book the best walk of your dog's life? Contact me today! 😍 🐶🐈 I will work around your schedule! Whether you need a regular daily walk or occasional weekend care, my flexible schedule fits perfectly into your routine. Rest assured, your pet will get the attention they need, precisely when they need it. Your Pet's Comfort and Routine, My Top Priority! When you're away, the last thing you should worry about is your beloved pet. My in-home pet sitting service is designed to provide your furry family members with the highest level of care, all within the comfort and security of their own home. The "Meet and Greet" It all starts with a complimentary "Meet and Greet." This initial consultation is crucial for establishing a bond with your pet and for me to get a comprehensive understanding of their needs. We'll go over everything, including: Daily Routine: From morning wake-up calls to bedtime rituals, I'll learn your pet's feeding schedule, potty breaks, and favorite napping spots. Consistency is key to keeping your pet happy and stress-free. Special Care Instructions: This includes any medications, dietary restrictions, or specific commands. I'm experienced in administering various medications and can handle complex care needs with confidence and a gentle hand. Safety and Security: We'll discuss entry and exit procedures, emergency contacts (including your vet), and any household quirks I need to be aware of to keep your home and pet safe.
“Chelsea and Chris were great with my puppy, Sully, during his 3-night stay. I got daily photos and updates, which made me feel really comfortable knowing he was safe and having a good time. Sully clearly enjoyed being there and came home happy and relaxed. I really appreciated how attentive and caring they were and would definitely book with them again. Highly recommend!”

“Laura was not only my first booking on Rover, but my first non-friend dog-sitter ever and she made it such a lovely experience for both me and my pup. She was so engaged with Tipu during our meet & greet that he was immediately charmed. During the drop-in visit, Laura took the time to run him through his commands to give him a little mental stimulation to break up his crate time. Will definitely use again.”
About: I have been dog sitting dogs since I was a teenager. I have experience with many different breeds both big and small. Since I don’t have any pets of my own right now I love being able to go meet new furry friends and play with them I have a pretty flexible work schedule. I can make my own schedule based off of the needs clients may have. Depending on when your pets need care I can adjust my schedule accordingly It is my pleasure to keep your pets company while you are away. I am happy to help out with whatever is needed. I am reliable and will keep your pets company while you are away.
“Ashley arrived on time, and took great care of the cats. She feed them, and played with them. Checked and cleaned the litter. She cleaned out the wet cat food cans, as requested, and made sure their food and water was full and clean.”
About: We’ve had a cat forever for as long as I can remember. I’ve also fostered kittens a decent amount. And I worked at a groomers office where I had to help groom and play with cats
About: I have plenty of references and experience with pet care. Growing up, I always had a dog and cat in the home. Currently, I live in an apartment and can’t get a dog. My boyfriend is allergic to cats, so I can’t get a cat either 😢 But I have plenty of friends and family who I have given pet care to. I can read animals pretty well and always prioritize their needs. I currently work full time but would love to use any extra time I have to help out your family. I work 3pm-11pm Sunday-Thursday. I am available all weekends unless my calendar says otherwise. When it comes to caring for pets, I prioritize their needs and make sure they have everything needed. I like to keep the parents in the know of how they are doing and update with pictures as often as possible 😊
“We had the absolute pleasure of having Sarah take care of our four dogs—Max, Tito, Maya, and Booboo and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the very beginning, she was professional, attentive, and clearly passionate about what she does. Sarah went above and beyond to make sure each of our dogs received personalized care, attention, and love. Managing four dogs is no small task, but she handled it with ease and confidence. We could tell our pups felt comfortable and happy in her care, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. She kept us updated regularly, which we truly appreciated, and it was clear that she treated our dogs as if they were her own. When we returned, everything was in perfect order, and our dogs were relaxed and well cared for. We highly recommend Sarah to anyone looking for a trustworthy, responsible, and genuinely caring dog sitter. She is simply amazing!”
“Katie is so awesome! She went above and beyond to befriend our grumpy old man of a cat, was very thorough at every drop-in, and just a lovely person all around. Highly recommend booking with her!”
“Winona cat and housesit on the 4th of July weekend, during a loud and very scary time for animals. She was very communicative and responsive throughout the entire process of working with her. She sent photos throughout her visit! I felt like the cats were in very good hands with her and she set my mind at ease.”
“Natasha took great care of my cats. She sent me thorough updates and pictures of the cats after every visit. I felt comfortable being away from my pets because I knew Natasha was taking such great care of them. Thank you, Natasha!”
About: I have had cats my entire life and have come to the conclusion that they are my favorite animal. I have been told many times that I’m going to end up becoming “the crazy cat lady”, if that says anything! I know how nerve-racking it can be to have to leave your fur baby back home while you are away. I can assure you that they will be getting plenty of love and will be in great hands.
“Dakota is a lovely and attentive caregiver. My older lady cat needs a daily visit and Dakota was thoughtful and great in her communication. Odie was much more happy and relaxed when I returned. Will definitely work with Dakota again!”

About: I absolutely love cats. My family has 7. I have been a cat lover since I was 8 years old. I work in a vet clinic and am comfortable distributing meds, cleaning litter boxes, feeding , watering, clipping nails , etc. I love any cat like its my own.
“It's always clear from Sarah's photos and reports of my cat that Sarah really understands her. I'm so happy my cat has such a great friend, and that I can leave her in such great hands!”
“Shannon did a wonderful job taking care of our kitty! She was attentive and thoughtful in her messages to us and even took the time to come meet her beforehand. We really appreciated all of her little updates so we felt like our kitty was being taken care of.”
“Cheyenne was prompt, flexible, communicative and compassionate and took care of my Indigo and Remy beautifully while I was away! I felt a peace of mind and at ease with her knowing her experience, and Remy felt almost immediately comfortable in her presence, which speaks volumes since he can tend to be skeptical of strangers. I would absolutely keep Cheyenne in mind for future sits!! Thank you so much, Cheyenne!”

Prices are estimates per day. Pricing may vary based on your search. A booking fee of 11% and taxes will apply.
About: I absolutely love animals. I have been helping friends and neighbors with watching their pets for years. I currently have two dogs myself, one with complicated medical needs. I am confident I would be able to care for your pets no matter their age. I currently work from home 2-3 days per week and am available most weekends. I currently have two dogs ourself and their needs are part of my daily life. I have a fenced in backyard. I live in a dead-end street near the rail trail so walks are a breeze and do not have me near any main roads. I do have two Pomeranians to keep your pets company while with us. Both of my dogs are fixed and friendly.
About: I'll provide constant supervision of your pet. I enjoy interacting with animals. Although I am not a professional dog handler I have had a dog in the house for the past 12 years. I will do my best to provide competent care for your pet. I am currently retired from the Columbia County jail, after completing 23 years. I am a Navy veteran. My wife and I have twin boys who are all grown up and out of the house. As a result of this I have become a little bored. I would appreciate your consideration when deciding on who to entrust the care of your pet while you are away. You will be able to be rest assured that they are being taken care of. I am usually available all the time except for the occasional vacation I might go on. Weekends are no problem either. I am pretty much available year round. I like to hang out with my dog all day. Adding more animals to the mix is no problem. I like taking walks with them and I also have a fenced yard.
About: I’ve grown up with Chinchillas, Cats, Dogs, Ducks, Chickens, & Reptiles. My Fiancé & I currently have 3 Cats (they love dogs- but if any issues - can be kept separate in their cat room to create a more comfortable stay for any pet that doesn’t like cats), between me & my partner- someone is always home to give attention to & play with pets. (Aside from when we go to the store or doctors appointments). Your pets will get the best care!!! Someone will always be home with your pets, either I am home or when I’m at work my fiancé Deanne is home & is also a huge animal lover. The only times someone isn’t home is when we’re grocery shopping or at an appointment. We have the rail trail right in our backyard that goes for miles- it’s a great trail to take dog walks on! We usually do that or use tie outs or the dogs leashes in our yard since we don’t have a fenced in yard, but your pets are never left unattended on the tie-outs, someone will be outside with them at all times
“My dog had a great time on a last minute daycare visit with Logan, and was happy and tired coming home. Logan was extremely flexible and friendly and had a good setup for dogs to free roam in and out of the house into a fenced backyard. Will absolutely book again!”
“With both me and my boyfriend working in healthcare and having crazy schedules, we decided to get a puppy. Then our work schedules got flipped and we were panicking on what to do with little man while we both had to work Christmas Eve and day and 12hr shifts. Then came a Christmas miracle, Kaitlyn and her amazing family watched over little Apollo. I was so nervous as this was my first time using Rover and I was unsure about the legitimacy, but Kaitlyn had great reviews and went above and beyond to make Apollo feel welcomed in her home and. She stuck to his feeding and training plan, tuckered him out with tons of play and made sure to update me with adorable pictures throughout the day! If you have a chance to book with her I would say absolutely do it, I would trust her with a human child!!”
“This was my first time using Rover and, remarkably, my first time leaving my dog Maddy with someone in their house, and not my own. Lori was wonderful! She answered all my questions before the day, and answered so promptly too. Maddy and Lori's dog Rees were very compatible, even though Rees is much bigger than Maddy. When I came to pick up my dog, Lori said Maddy missed me and was a bit subdued, but that's to be expected for the first time. Maddy was perfectly fine, and happy to see me when I came to pick her up. I will be booking with Lori and Rees again. Practice makes perfect!”
“Kenia is kind, flexible and communicative. The second day I brought my anxious rescue poodle to her, she sprinted up the steps and could NOT wait to get inside! Her warmth is unmatched and she brought me great comfort knowing my pup was in a safe, loving environment while I tended to family needs. Will definitely use Kenia again if I’m in the area, and highly recommend anyone in need use her too!!”
“Chelsea was amazing and my pup must have known the minute he met her. It is rare that he walks right up to anyone he doesn’t know but he did with her. He seemed to have a great time and looked so happy in the pics. This really made me feel good about my choice. Thanks Chelsea. Loved the report card as well. See you next time.”
“Diana and her family provided day care to my puppy Jolene and I cannot say enough good things. She is a wonderful and attentive sitter and provided great care. I would definitely recommend her.”
About: I provide boarding, drop-in care, and training right here in Delmar, offering dogs a safe and welcoming environment. Our fenced-in yard gives pups plenty of room to run, play, and explore while staying secure. With years of hands-on experience working with dogs of all ages, breeds, and temperaments, I understand how to meet each dog’s unique needs and make them feel comfortable. My goal is to give every pup the attention, structure, and care they deserve—whether that means reliable boarding while you’re away, daily drop-in visits to keep them happy and active, or personalized training to help them thrive. I’m committed to making life easier for you and ensuring your dog enjoys every moment in my care. Pet care is woven into our everyday routine—it’s not just a service, it’s part of our lifestyle. Pet care and training is the heartbeat of the home! I have a fenced in yard and a variety of crates and playpens to keep your pup safe.

“AMAZING DOG FRIENDLY/DOG LOVING HUMAN BEING. Hurley was happy with his pup banjo who’s a sweetheart, Hurley got all his energy out by hiking and playing fetch all day he met all his needs. I would 100% rebook again!!!!”
About: 🐾 I’m absolutely obsessed with cats—and honestly, that’s the biggest reason I’m here. Rover isn’t just a side thing for me… I genuinely love spending time with cats and getting to know all their unique personalities. At home, I care for three cats of my own, so I understand everything from playtime energy to quiet, independent moods. I’m also known locally as a stray cat feeder and caretaker, and I always keep cat food in my car—because you truly never know when a hungry kitty might need help. Caring for animals isn’t something I “turn on”—it’s just part of who I am every day. While cats are my specialty, I’ve recently been spending more time around dogs as well and have become increasingly comfortable and confident with them. I’m patient, attentive, and quick to adapt to different temperaments, whether your pet is energetic, shy, or somewhere in between. When you trust me with your pet, you’re getting someone who is: ✔️ Reliable & responsive ✔️ Gentle, patient, and detail-oriented ✔️ Experienced with multiple-cat households ✔️ Truly passionate about animal care I’ll treat your pet like they’re my own—with love, respect, and close attention to their needs. Whether it’s feeding, playtime, medication, or just keeping them company, I’ve got it covered. I’m also very flexible and able to travel, so feel free to reach out with whatever you need—I’m happy to make it work!! Pet care fits perfectly into my routine. I recently bought a house here in Albany, so it’s just me and my studies now — which means I have plenty of time and flexibility to devote to caring for your cats. As a law student, my classes are only on Mondays and Wednesdays, so the rest of the week I’m fully available to spend quality time making sure your cat (or cats!) get the love, attention, and care they need. In a client’s home, I focus on keeping your cat’s routine consistent and stress-free. That means fresh food and water on schedule, a clean litter box, and plenty of playtime and affection — whether that’s cuddles, brushing, or just quiet company if your cat prefers space. I always make sure to respect your home, follow your instructions closely, and send regular updates so you know your pet is happy and safe. If I’m welcoming a cat into my own home, I create a calm, cozy environment with safe spaces for them to explore or retreat to, depending on their personality. I treat every cat as if they were my own — with patience, attentiveness, and lots of love.
“Katherine is an excellent dog rover. She is a strong communicator, caretaker, and most importantly a good hearted dog person. Your dog is in great hands with her. When I’m in the area she will be my go-to person.”
About: 🐾🏡 About Me Hi! I’m a lifelong dog owner, trainer, and former kennel manager with experience caring for all breeds, ages, and personalities. My home is active and structured, with plenty of playtime, exercise, and enrichment. I currently share my home with Border Collies, Labradors, and a few mixed breeds, and we’re active in dog sports like frisbee, obedience, and dock diving. Whether your dog is social or needs their own space, I can accommodate them — as long as they are people-friendly. I strive to make dogs feel comfortable, safe, and happy while you have peace of mind. 🐶 What Your Dog Can Expect Safe, structured, and enriching days: Morning play/walks, breakfast, digest & rest breaks, afternoon activities, and evening wind-down. Large fenced backyard + indoor play area for all weather. Crate-based routine for meals, rest, and overnight for safety and comfort. Daily updates: Photos, videos, and notes so you stay connected. Personalized attention based on your dog’s personality, energy, and needs. 📍 Convenient Location Just 3 miles from Albany Airport Near I-87, I-90, and I-88 — perfect for travelers ✅ What I Provide Expansive fenced yard & indoor play space Wide collection of dog equipment (bring only collar, leash, and food) Experience with puppies, seniors, reactive dogs, and multiple breeds Knowledge of breed-specific needs, safety, and bloat prevention 📌 What I Need From You Vaccinations required: Rabies, Distemper, Bordetella Crate-trained dogs only What to bring: Collar, leash, and food (please no beds) Daycare: All daycare dogs require to ha e a m&g and a trial day before being able to book freely. Drop-Ins/House Sitting: Meet & Greet required. Keyless entries only, will not keep keys. 🗓 Drop-Off & Pick-Up Morning: 6:00–7:30 AM Evening: 6:00–7:30 PM No Saturday evenings or holiday exchanges Please specify a time to avoid overlap — residential area, so we keep things calm for neighbors and dogs 💬 Meet & Greets Recommended for all new clients Please schedule at least 2 weeks prior to your stay 📅 Routine & Peak Season Peak Season: May 1 – September 30 Structured routine: multiple outdoor sessions, playtime, meals with digestion breaks, rest periods — no free-for-all boarding ✨ Why Choose Me? I live and breathe dogs — training, sports, and overall enjoyment are my passion. Your pup will get safe, structured care, plenty of exercise, and personal attention while you get peace of mind and daily updates. We keep a very rigid structured routine. Our day starts between 6-7am, with initial let outs--group play if appropriate to get that morning energy out. Then we settle in for breakfast time, all dogs rest 30 minutes prior to meals, 30 minutes to eat, then followed by another 30-60 minutes to digest. This helps prevent bloat( while any size dog CAN bloat--most often occurs in larger/deep chested breeds, but I take no chances). We then are in and out throughout the rest of the day when dinner time commences between 5-6pm, repeating the same 30-30-30/60 routine. Last let outs and romps wrapping up around 10-11pm. I don't operate a free for all. Fully fenced in yard. Specifically zoned areas for potting and play. Daily house keeping services including vacuuming and daily crate wipe down and disinfection. Dogs are outside as much as we can be, under direct supervision weather permitting.
“Jialin and John took great care of our Noodle while we attended a friend’s wedding in the area. We are not NY locals and the decision to bring our dog on the trip with us was somewhat last minute, so we were so lucky and grateful to find people to care for Noodle for a full day on such short notice. We received many photos and videos throughout the day which reassured us that Noodle was having fun and in great hands! If we lived in the area we would 100% book them again, and we’re honestly bummed that they can’t be our regular dog sitters due to distance. We are very satisfied with the care they provided and we highly recommend them!!”
About: Over the course of my childhood my parents have been teaching me the proper way to care for not just people, but of course, our pets as well. After a while, tending to our pets was no longer so much a task for me as it was for my siblings. Taking care of and spending time with animals in general became something I still enjoy doing to this day, and as far as I know, will be one of my favorite things to do forever. With over 10 years of experience caring for pets of all shapes and sizes, you can feel confident in my professionalism and knowledge of what would be in your pet’s best interest. I want to go beyond just keeping your animal’s needs met but to make sure they feel happy and comfortable at all times.

“Jessica has been walking our dog since April and she has been terrific! We feel very lucky to have found her! She’s reliable, kind, and intuitive with our dog. She sends midday reports on her walks which are super helpful. I always come home to a calmer pup since Jessica started with us. We’re hoping to hire her for a longer sit at some point, too. Jessica is great!”
About: I’ve had my own animals, both cats and dogs (mainly cats) since I was 6 years old. I’ve had to administer insulin before to my diabetic cat that has since passed. My experience with dogs are mainly of the bigger size (I had a pitbull/boxer mix and a pure bred chow chow). I’m currently working as a Direct Support Professional overnights 9pm-9am Thursday through Saturday (technically Sunday 9am). So I’m pretty open for picking up last minute gigs if needed. I would love to have a break down of your pets day to day. Typically when they are most ready to play or eat. When potty breaks need to be done around.
About: Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets. I am a volunteer at an animal shelter so I’m comfortable with both energetic puppies and senior pets who need a bit of extra care. I always make sure every animal feels safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. I am very aware of enrichment techniques and the best practices to keep dogs feeling calm and happy. Being a college student, I miss my pets from home so much and cherish the opportunity to spend some time with your furry friends. As a college student with a flexible class schedule, I have plenty of time between classes, in the afternoons, and during evenings to care for your pets. I’m available for walks and drop-in visits throughout the week and weekends. I make sure to give each pet my full attention and love during every visit. I provide care in your pet’s familiar environment to reduce stress and keep their routine consistent. I always follow your specific instructions for feeding, walking, and enrichment activities, and I’m attentive to each pet’s unique personality and comfort level. I prioritize safety, trust, and stimulation so your pet feels happy, secure, and loved while you’re away.
About: I’ve pet sit for multiple dogs, and my pup loves having friends. I telecommute and minimize my time out of the house on petsitting days. Occasionally I have foster dogs and won’t be available for services in my home on those days, but I’ll update my calendar. I live in a great neighborhood to walk dogs. I’m able to use lunch breaks to take your fur baby out for some mid day exercise. I have the sweetest dog to keep your fur baby company. I stay in the same room to make sure everyone is having a good safe time. I’m in a residential area so if boarding, your pup will have safe walks in my neighborhood.
About: I’ve taken care of a sick dog and a rabbit for 3 years now on separate occasions when the families go on trips. I always make sure to play with the animals. I currently work full time but am available any time around my scheduled work times! I will work very hard to make sure everything lines up to how it should even with my work schedule. I will make sure that everything is in place when I leave and I will keep the house clean! I will of course also take care of your pets and play with them!
“This was my first experience entrusting my puppy with a dog walker, and Lydia exceeded my expectations. She’s very communicative, open to my requests, and took great care of my little girl. Lydia also takes the cutest pictures! I’d recommend her, and I’ll be a repeat client for sure.”
“Dakota was so good with our 2 dogs. They both have strong pray drives and the walking trails are thru the woods so it can sometimes be challenging to control them. They warmed up so fast to her and their walks together went really well. She always gave detailed reports of the walks and sent photos….I really like that ? She is a pleasure to talk to and she has a large dog of her own which gives her that experience that only dog “owners” have. I will definitely be recommending her to friends.”
About: I’ve taken care of many pets in my life as I used to live on a farm growing up. I treat them all as if they’re my kids. I have a part time job as a nurse at a nursing home and I have two children in the home but over the ages of 15, other than that I have no young kids or other pets. I have a fenced yard with plenty of room to play! As well I have a park 2 mins from my home that I can take any pet I’m caring for.
About: Hello! Thank you for visiting my profile. I am a lifelong dog-lover and I just go gaga for descendents of wolves of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. My mother actually says that my first word as a baby was "dog", so I think it is simply fate that I am here today. I grew up with a magical Golden Retriever named Chessie and a spunky wire-haired Dachshund named Emma. I loved playing fetch with Chessie in the backyard, grooming Emma and trying to tame her spikey fur, and walking them together all around my hometown. As an adult, friends and family trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and care for their dogs. And later, I was lucky enough to adopt a very special 7-year old mini-Australian Shepherd named Lexi who had been surrendered by her previous owner. Lexi had intense separation anxiety and some health issues with her kidneys, so after all that she had been through, it was so wonderful and rewarding to love and care for Lexi and watch her regain her confidence and trust in people and thrive. Being her dog-mom was one of the most meaningful experiences of my life and I miss her so much. As your pup's new friend, it is my mission to give them that same level of attention, care, and admiration. Dogs have infinite space for love and joy and we have so much to learn from them, so I look forward to meeting you and your pup! I am a work-from-home creative type so I have lots of time and space in my schedule to take care of your pup! I am available for walks, playdates, and drop-ins, Monday through Friday 8am - 6pm and I also offer boarding. I live in a large first floor two-bedroom apartment that's right next door to my building's dog park. Enriching town parks and trails are super close, along with a community teeming with all sorts of dog-lovers and dogs. My home is a warm and welcoming spot for your dog's vacay!
About: I’ve taken care of my family’s, neighbors, and friend’s animals of all kinds for years. I enjoy offering them training tips as I have experience from my own dogs and spending time with their pets. I’m currently a college students and have a variety of hours in between and before class during the week and am available on the weekends. I maintain a pretty flexible schedule. I’ve grown up around dogs and cats and my family currently has three dogs and two cats. I love taking care and spending time with them! They all get along well and enjoy time in a fenced in backyard.
About: Friends and family members have trusted me to care for their furry loved ones for as long as I can remember. Our furry friends deserve just as much love and care as we do. I work from home three days out of the week, so I am able to care for pets during the day. I am also incredibly available throughout the weekends and each weeknight. I maintain a consistent daily routine for feeding, potty breaks, and playtime to keep pets feeling secure and comfortable. I keep clients updated with photos and updates on their pets' well-being, so they can feel confident that their furry friend is in good hands. I create a pet-friendly environment with plenty of space for pets to roam, play, and relax. I ensure all areas are pet-proofed and free from hazards. Pets receive lots of attention, playtime, and cuddles. I offer enrichment activities like toys and outdoor walks.
“Glenn and Diana’s care of my big dog has been such a weight off my shoulders. He has some special needs and they didn’t hesitate to help. Also so appreciative of the questions they ask and how much they care!”
About: If your dog is a rescue who's still figuring out the world, or just a creature of habit who thrives on routine — that's exactly who I do this for. I work from home, so I'm able to follow their schedule: same walks, same feeding times, same special treats. The only thing different about your dog's week is which human is holding the leash (and cuddling on the couch). Send me a message to set up a meet-and-greet — I'd love to hear all about your pet. Working from home means your dog has company during the day, not just a check-in at mealtimes. I build my schedule around the pets I'm caring for, so your dog's feeding times, walks, and favorite spots on the couch all stay as consistent as possible. The goal is for your dog to feel like not much has changed. When we're outside, your dog has my full attention. I skip dog parks to avoid the risks of unpredictable dogs, illness, or overstimulation. I only care for dogs from one household at a time, so your dog always gets my undivided focus. During the warmer months, I stay on top of tick checks and heat management to keep your dog safe and comfortable. I'm comfortable administering oral medications and I closely monitor food intake and potty patterns so I can flag anything unusual.
About: I am an experienced and dedicated pet caregiver with a lifelong love of animals. I have previously owned both a Beagle and a Greyhound and am currently a proud cat parent to seven cats. In addition, I have successfully fostered and cared for eight litters of kittens, providing attentive care from infancy through adoption readiness. My experience extends beyond my own pets, as I regularly help care for my family's pets, including two dogs and a cat. I have also provided reliable pet-sitting services for close friends, caring for multiple dogs, cats, fish, and reptiles while they were away on vacation or at work. I understand that every pet has unique needs, personalities, and routines, and I am committed to providing compassionate, dependable care that helps pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. My goal is to treat every animal in my care as if they were my own. Whether your pet enjoys playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply maintaining their regular routine, I am dedicated to ensuring they receive the attention and care they deserve. As a full-time college student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable pet care, including walks, feeding, and in-home visits. Pet care is a great fit for me because it complements my studies while giving me the opportunity to spend time with animals I love. Your fur babies will receive plenty of attention and companionship, and they'll make wonderful study buddies while I ensure they are happy, safe, and well cared for. Pets are family to me. My own animals are spoiled with love, affection, and attention, and I treat every pet I care for as if they were my own. I understand that being away from their owners can be stressful, so I make it a priority to give them plenty of love, comfort, playtime, and companionship to help them feel happy and secure until their family returns.
“Was in a last minute mind and Laura came to the rescue. She took the best care of my babies. Fully kept me updated how they dogs were doing and sent pictures. The dogs had a great time with Laura! I was so relieved to see how happy they were in all the photos. When I got home they were very calm and relaxing. They got a lot of exercise! Would highly recommend Laura!”
“Alexandra has been walking my dog for the past three months, and she has been absolutely wonderful. She is attentive, warm, and truly cares about the dogs she works with. My dog adores her! Her communication is excellent, and the photos she sends are always amazing. I couldn’t ask for a better dog walker.”

“Saskia was absolutely fantastic! She took such wonderful care of our two energetic dogs and our energetic cat, and we couldn't have been happier. She truly went above and beyond, staying in constant communication with us the whole time we were away and sending photos and updates that really put our minds at ease. She put an incredible amount of heart into caring for our pets—she easily gave one hundred and fifty to two hundred percent—and her response time was incredibly fast.”

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. My first job was as an Animal Care Technician with the Humane Society, and I later worked at a military veterinary clinic for more than five years. Caring for animals isn’t just a job for me, it’s something I’ve been passionate about since childhood. I’ve always had pets of my own and have rescued many animals over the years. To me, pets are family, not just animals. When your pet stays with me, my home becomes their home. I’ll follow and reinforce your training and household rules, while also making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether your pet enjoys playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply relaxing, I tailor their care to their individual personality and energy level. I currently work full-time. But not too far from my job. So I can always come home to let pets out if need be. I will be available to give them all the attention in the afternoon and on the weekends with the help of my kids who just adore any animal. I have a fenced in yard with one dog and one cat to keep your pet company. I can also crate your pet if needed.
“Margie and her family are absolutely wonderful. Very easy to schedule a meet and greet, time to drop off/pick up our dog and received plenty of updates and photos. Our dog has anxiety issues and Margie made sure to care for her needs (excelled, really), and was comfortable giving medicine to her each day. We will book another time for sure!”
“Mary and Todd are the absolute best dog sitters! Their great care for our dog Toby gives us a lot of peace of mind. We know he is having a great time — it shows in the photos that Mary sends to us throughout his stay.”
“Chris was attentive to my dog's need and was easy to communicate with and was flexible to work with. My dog enjoyed his time under Chris' care. Would highly recommend”
“Cache is absolutely amazing with our nervous boy, we appreciate all that she does for him while he’s there with her! He loves all the fruit he gets to snack on especially!”
“We are so fortunate to have met Kyle. It is clear how much she loves dogs and goes to great lengths to be sure that they are comfortable. She sends lots of updates, pictures and videos, so the parents are put at ease as well. Our anxious pup was immediately at home, and came back happy and tired from all of the play. Thank you to our new friend Kyle for spoiling our fur baby!”
About: I have years of experience with many different types of dogs. I watch dogs on a regular basis. For younger dogs I can offer a mountain hikes and for older dogs I can walk them on boardwalk trails that are easy on the joints, yet give the dog the sense of walking in the woods. I don't mind larger dogs at all. I also am willing to cook food for dogs. I very much enjoy the company of dogs and find that when they are well fed and exercised they are really pleasant to be around. Please give me honest description of your dog so I can plan His/Her visit accordingly. My house is set back (1000 feet) from a country road . I can pick up dogs in NYC , Great Barrington , Hudson, or Albany for a fee. I have watched many dogs over the years. Usually I try to walk them as much as possible. I feed them well , but make them follow the sit command before being fed and multiple times a day. All dogs have to be on a slip proof leash when outside or dropped off. Dogs often don't behave as they do at home . Once off a leash it can be very difficult to recapture a dog. In the house I don't crate dogs . We can only watch a few dogs at once. If your dog is very difficult let me know in advanced. Also Corgies get 10% off.

“Chelsea and Chris were great with my puppy, Sully, during his 3-night stay. I got daily photos and updates, which made me feel really comfortable knowing he was safe and having a good time. Sully clearly enjoyed being there and came home happy and relaxed. I really appreciated how attentive and caring they were and would definitely book with them again. Highly recommend!”
“Amanda was great with our dogs. She listened carefully to each of their needs and made sure to accommodate particular requests. Amanda was prompt in getting back to us anytime we reached out and sent us occasional photos of the dogs playing or resting. She has a lovely home and large fenced-in backyard where the dogs could run free and get plenty of exercise. We felt at ease knowing our precious pups were kept safe and warm while we were away!”
