“Shauna was great! She was communicative through the whole process from start to finish. She coaxed my super skittish Kittie out of hiding to get some love. Followed the rather complicated bathroom directions perfectly; one Kittie has issues using the box. 100% will be using Shauna again and highly recommend her!”

“Lena took excellent care of my tortoise. She sent me detailed notes and pictures. I’m very comfortably leaving him in her care and I highly recommend her for pet sitting.”

About: Having grown up with dogs and cats my whole life, I’m an animal lover who will go above and beyond for your pets 🐾 I frequently look after friends’ and neighbors’ critters and treat them as my own when they’re under my care (I also love sending pics and vids to keep their parents updated 🥰). From shy to sweet to spicy, we love all cats and can flex to meet their unique needs (a drink from the faucet, a little extra space, some playtime with a spring toy).

“Alli showed up every day for my cat Ziggy and took good care of him. You can rest easy knowing your pet is in good hands. Strongly recommended!”

About: Hello! My name is Sam and I am a life-long animal lover and pet owner. 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. Additionally, I have a lot of experience meeting new families and learning new routines very quickly. While I hold a full time day job I am looking to fill some of my extra time caring for the pets in my community. I am comfortable with animals of all sizes, breeds, and species so if you're in my area I'd love to meet you and your pets! I work full time with a varying schedule between 5:30am and 5:30 pm. I will often available for walks and check ins during evening hours with some daytime & morning availability depending on my schedule that week. I am a cleanly person who will leave your home the way you left it and your pets safe while I am there! I am confident I can provide a trustworthy experience for you.

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’ve had dogs most of my life—dogs who are small, timid, and nervous as well as big, goofy and playful. We can make sure it’s a good fit with a meet and greet to make sure everyone’s comfortable before moving forward. I work 3 days a week as a nurse and usually know my work schedule a month in advance. I am hoping to do a couple of dog walks, check ins and house sitting days so that you can take a trip, work or be *kid free 🐶* for a night or two. Let me know how I can help! The more I can learn from you about your pets’ likes and dislikes; the better I can provide for you and your pet. I am confident that I can make your pet feel comfortable and right at home.

“Lindsey is a wonderful pet sitter - very responsible, excellent communicator, warm, and friendly. She clearly loves and enjoys animals. I highly recommend her.”

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!”

About: I've taken care of neighbors cats and dogs since middle school in my hometown. I've grown up with pets my whole life and greatly understand their needs and the responsibilities associated with pet care. I’m a clear and responsive communicator and will always listen to how you want your pet cared for. I also enjoy going for runs and hikes, so if your dog has a lot of energy, we will get along well! I’m excited to meet your pet(s)! I am able to do overnights with pets and can visit them during mornings, midday, and nights. I can take last minute bookings. I work a flexible schedule during the week. I make sure to assess the comfortability of the animal before settling into the house. I try to keep it a quiet atmosphere until the animal feels comfortable being around me. I make sure that they are my priority and I give them full attention given that they're most likely stressed. I will respect the owners house and belongings.

“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: 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.

“Rachael and Alexander were wonderful with our pups! Would highly recommend!”

Tracy B.

“Trinity is absolutely amazing (I haven’t had the pleasure of meeting James yet, but I’m sure he’s wonderful too). Trinity is super responsive and caring. She was willing to take on our fur baby immediately. We are looking forward to upcoming dates with her!”

Cassie B.

“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.

“He was responsive, flexible, and sent us updates which were much appreciated. Our dog appeared to have enjoyed his time, happy & healthy. We would definitely use Saveliy again on a future trip to the area!”

Emily V.

“Maddy was incredibly easy to communicate with when booking my dog and very accommodating of the fact he is still being trained/working on some issues from the rescue and therefore cannot be left unsupervised. She kept me updated on how he was doing and he seems to have had a good time. I absolutely would recommend booking with Maddy and will do so again next time I need someone to watch Tucker.”

Grace L.

“Shauna is a favorite in our little family now! She is responsible, calm, and punctual. I hope to have her walk Sky again.”

Kimberly W.

“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.”

About: Hi! We’re Rachael (🇺🇸) and Alex (🇬🇧), two animal lovers who will go above and beyond for your pets and treat them as our own while they’re under our care. Expect lots of pics and vids while you’re away. 🥰 We have experience with all sizes of dogs as well as seniors. We’re friendly, responsible, and responsive, and we look forward to meeting, walking, and hosting your pets 🐕🐈 We work part-time from home and have full flexibility in our daily and weekly schedules. With home-stays, we build our days around walks and shorter trips outside. Ultimately, we’ll flex to your pet’s unique needs — if they need lots of love, want some space or alone time, or have a special quirk (faucet drinking, mealtime rituals), we’re on it. We always default to a pet parents’ instructions for their pet and home care, and we read body language carefully 🩵 **Note: We are currently living with family, including a 6-year-old mixed breed dog who is friendly/quite indifferent with other dogs (4th photo on our profile), and a very independent calico cat who spends most of her time outside. We don’t expect they would cause any issues with most other pets.**

“Matthew was great. Very good communication and lots of pictures of my pup. Will use him again for sure. Thanks Matthew.”

About: I've taken care of dogs all my life in both my house and neighbors and friends. I have worked with puppies 8 weeks and up. I recently moved across the country from California to LP, and wasn’t able to bring my dog, so I love to to take care of others when I get the chance. Please let me know, I’m happy to learn about what tips/ tricks will work best for home visits- for you, your home, and the pup/s!

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: I have had pets my whole life. I currently have a small farm. I have chickens, ducks, turkies, pigs, dogs and cats. Alone with rabbits and guinea pigs. we are a very pet friendly area. Live in a wooded area on a dead end street. I currently work from home and have time for pet care. My youngest daughter is also in the home. Also have my granddaughter here on the weekends. she is 11. I will provide care in my home since I work from home this is the best for me at this time. I also have my 11 yr old granddaughter here on weekends.
