“Top tier Dog Sitter. I was in a bind and she was able to help me out even though it was last minute. Can’t say thank you enough for everything. My pup had a great time to the point where he was sad to leave her house. She did an excellent job taking care of Tucker and she also did a great job with his grooming. Definitely will be using her again. Thank you, Jeremy”

“Megan and her family were wonderful with our dog, Nova, and our two cats, Spirit and Salem. From the beginning, they were incredibly welcoming and made us feel comfortable leaving our pets in their care. We also really appreciated how reasonable Megan’s pricing was. We had seen other sitters on the app charging an arm and a leg for each cat, so it was refreshing to find someone who was both affordable and provided such great care. Megan gave us regular updates on how Nova, Spirit, and Salem were doing while we were away, which gave my son and me a lot of peace of mind. It was obvious that our pets felt comfortable and happy with her and her family. In fact, they seemed like they didn’t even want to come home! The little toy camper and the dog cookies were such a special touch, too! It was incredibly thoughtful and just another example of how much care Megan puts into making both the pets and their owners feel appreciated. We had a great experience and would absolutely book with Megan again the next time we need someone to care for our pets. We highly recommend her!”

“Morgan was fantastic! I contacted her relatively last minute to watch my puppy for a full day and she enthusiastically agreed to help me out! She kept my feisty pup safe, entertained, and tired out! I’m very grateful for her. And as the cherry on top, she came home and slept all night (a much needed full nights sleep for me, as well 😂)”

“Geoffrey took incredible care of our golden retriever, Charlie, for seven days. We received multiple photos, videos, and thoughtful updates every day, showing Charlie enjoying long walks on his beautiful trails, swimming in the creek, and making new friends. It was obvious Charlie wasn’t just being watched—he was having the time of his life. What impressed us most was Geoffrey’s attention to every detail. During the heat wave, he kept Charlie cool and comfortable, communicated any concerns right away, and shared thoughtful suggestions like adding chicken and eggs to his kibble or bringing a shirt that smelled like us to help Charlie settle in. Our dog normally eats less when we’re away, but with Geoffrey, he thrived. Seeing Charlie walk in the Fourth of July parade was just the icing on the cake. Geoffrey is truly a dog whisperer. For the first time, our family enjoyed our vacation without worrying about Charlie because we knew he was happy, loved, and incredibly well cared for. Charlie had the best vacation ever, and we’re pretty sure he’ll be just as excited to see Geoffrey again next month as we are to book with him.”

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and am comfortable caring for dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to seniors who need a slower pace and extra attention. I take a calm, reliable approach and focus on each dog’s individual routine, safety, and comfort. What sets me apart is my peaceful, low-stress home in a quiet country setting in the town of Bleecker inside of the Adirondack Park, where dogs receive one-on-one attention, consistent care, and plenty of space to relax. Your dog will be treated like family and cared for as if they were my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m always home and structure my days around consistent feeding times, walks, play, and downtime, so dogs always have attention and companionship.

While I don’t have a fenced yard, dogs are always supervised and taken outside on a leash so they can safely explore and enjoy the fresh air. Safety is always my top priority. Please let me know if your pup is off-leashed trained, so I may work with them after they are comfortable on the property. Dogs in my care will also have the companionship of my friendly corgi, Ginger, who is well-socialized and enjoys being around other dogs. The newest addition to my household is Nori, a corgi puppy. She currently has a lot of energy and is in training, doing very well. I follow each dog’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special care needs, and I provide regular updates so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for. Your dogs and my dogs are allowed on the couch and the bed. We love to snuggle up!

About: What sets me apart as a cat sitter is my commitment to providing specialized care that goes beyond the basics. I'm not just here to feed your cat; I'm dedicated to ensuring their health, happiness, and comfort in every way. Specialized Care and Experience I have extensive experience with administering medications, including pills and liquids. I understand that a consistent schedule is crucial for your cat's health, and I'll make sure their medication is given precisely as prescribed. My background in handling cats with special needs, such as those with diabetes, kidney disease, or anxiety, means I'm prepared for any situation. Beyond medication, I believe a clean environment is a key part of a cat's well-being. I take pride in deep-cleaning litter boxes, ensuring they're scooped multiple times a day and sanitized regularly to prevent odors and promote hygiene. I also make sure food and water bowls are kept sparkling clean. A Focus on Mental and Physical Well-being My visits are not just a quick stop. I dedicate time to interactive play, using toys and games to keep your cat mentally stimulated and physically active. For more timid cats, I offer a gentle and patient presence, allowing them to warm up to me at their own pace. I can also provide grooming, like brushing and nail trims, if needed. When you choose me, you're not just hiring a sitter; you're getting a dedicated partner in your cat's care. I'll provide detailed updates after every visit, complete with photos and notes on how your cat is doing, so you can have complete peace of mind while you're away.

“Dennis is personable, prompt, and flexible. He offers a variety of services for your canine companion. I appreciated his very thoughtful observation of my dog’s body language, behavior, and preference cues - Elliot can take a moment to warm up to new friends and lives to play with his flirt stick. I would, without reservation, recommend Dennis as your walker, play date companion, and house sitter.”

I follow each dog’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special care needs, and I provide regular updates so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for. Your dogs and my dogs are allowed on the couch and the bed. We love to snuggle up!

About: With 6 years of dedicated experience in pet care, I provide a comprehensive and compassionate service tailored to the unique needs of each animal. My expertise extends beyond basic care to include specialized skills such as positive reinforcement-based puppy training, helping to establish good habits from an early age. I also have a deep understanding of senior dog care, including administering medication, providing gentle exercise, and creating a comfortable, low-stress environment. I have experience managing a variety of medical conditions, ensuring your furry family member is safe and well-cared for at all times. My goal is to be a trusted partner in your pet's health and happiness, providing peace of mind while you're away. Each morning starts with feeding, watering, and a potty break for the pets in my care. This is followed by a morning walk or playtime to get their energy out and start the day on a positive note. Throughout the day, I follow individual schedules, which might include specific feeding times for puppies or senior dogs, medication administration, or scheduled walks and potty breaks. The afternoon often includes another round of playtime or enrichment activities, such as puzzle feeders or training sessions, to keep their minds engaged. Evenings are typically quieter, with a final feeding and potty break before a relaxing wind-down. My weekly routine involves a bit more planning. I coordinate with pet owners to schedule walks, check-ins, or overnight stays. I also use this time to restock on supplies and keep detailed records of each pet's behavior, eating habits, and health. If a pet is in my care for an extended period, I might schedule a grooming appointment to ensure they're in top shape. My schedule is built around the needs of the pet, ensuring they receive consistent, loving care and that their owners have peace of mind. Caring for pets, whether on my own or a client's, requires a responsible and attentive approach to ensure their well-being. A fundamental aspect is providing a consistent routine, including scheduled feeding times with high-quality, species-appropriate food and fresh water that is always accessible. Regular exercise is crucial for both physical and mental health; this can range from daily walks for dogs to interactive playtime. Environmental enrichment, such as toys, scratching posts, and comfortable bedding, helps prevent boredom and destructive behaviors. It's also vital to maintain a clean and safe living space by regularly cleaning food and water bowls, litter boxes, and bedding. Beyond daily care, a thorough pet care plan includes regular grooming, such as brushing and nail trims, and staying up-to-date on veterinary care, including vaccinations and preventative treatments for fleas, ticks, and worms. For client homes, clear communication is paramount. It is important for me to obtain detailed instructions regarding the pet's specific needs, routines, medications, and any behavioral quirks, as well as emergency contact information. This holistic approach, combining routine care with attention to individual needs and a focus on safety and hygiene, ensures a happy and healthy life for any pet under my care.

“Top tier Dog Sitter. I was in a bind and she was able to help me out even though it was last minute. Can’t say thank you enough for everything. My pup had a great time to the point where he was sad to leave her house. She did an excellent job taking care of Tucker and she also did a great job with his grooming. Definitely will be using her again. Thank you, Jeremy”

“Megan and her family were wonderful with our dog, Nova, and our two cats, Spirit and Salem. From the beginning, they were incredibly welcoming and made us feel comfortable leaving our pets in their care. We also really appreciated how reasonable Megan’s pricing was. We had seen other sitters on the app charging an arm and a leg for each cat, so it was refreshing to find someone who was both affordable and provided such great care. Megan gave us regular updates on how Nova, Spirit, and Salem were doing while we were away, which gave my son and me a lot of peace of mind. It was obvious that our pets felt comfortable and happy with her and her family. In fact, they seemed like they didn’t even want to come home! The little toy camper and the dog cookies were such a special touch, too! It was incredibly thoughtful and just another example of how much care Megan puts into making both the pets and their owners feel appreciated. We had a great experience and would absolutely book with Megan again the next time we need someone to care for our pets. We highly recommend her!”

“Geoffrey took incredible care of our golden retriever, Charlie, for seven days. We received multiple photos, videos, and thoughtful updates every day, showing Charlie enjoying long walks on his beautiful trails, swimming in the creek, and making new friends. It was obvious Charlie wasn’t just being watched—he was having the time of his life. What impressed us most was Geoffrey’s attention to every detail. During the heat wave, he kept Charlie cool and comfortable, communicated any concerns right away, and shared thoughtful suggestions like adding chicken and eggs to his kibble or bringing a shirt that smelled like us to help Charlie settle in. Our dog normally eats less when we’re away, but with Geoffrey, he thrived. Seeing Charlie walk in the Fourth of July parade was just the icing on the cake. Geoffrey is truly a dog whisperer. For the first time, our family enjoyed our vacation without worrying about Charlie because we knew he was happy, loved, and incredibly well cared for. Charlie had the best vacation ever, and we’re pretty sure he’ll be just as excited to see Geoffrey again next month as we are to book with him.”

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and am comfortable caring for dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to seniors who need a slower pace and extra attention. I take a calm, reliable approach and focus on each dog’s individual routine, safety, and comfort. What sets me apart is my peaceful, low-stress home in a quiet country setting in the town of Bleecker inside of the Adirondack Park, where dogs receive one-on-one attention, consistent care, and plenty of space to relax. Your dog will be treated like family and cared for as if they were my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m always home and structure my days around consistent feeding times, walks, play, and downtime, so dogs always have attention and companionship. Living in a quiet country setting allows for a calm, low-stress environment with plenty of space to relax and enjoy fresh air. I keep a predictable routine while adjusting to each dog’s individual needs, energy level, and comfort. Whether it’s daily walks, enrichment, or quiet companionship, caring for dogs is something I truly enjoy and prioritize. I live in a quiet country home with plenty of outdoor space. While I don’t have a fenced yard, dogs are always supervised and taken outside on a leash so they can safely explore and enjoy the fresh air. Safety is always my top priority. Please let me know if your pup is off-leashed trained, so I may work with them after they are comfortable on the property. Dogs in my care will also have the companionship of my friendly corgi, Ginger, who is well-socialized and enjoys being around other dogs. The newest addition to my household is Nori, a corgi puppy. She currently has a lot of energy and is in training, doing very well. I follow each dog’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special care needs, and I provide regular updates so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for. Your dogs and my dogs are allowed on the couch and the bed. We love to snuggle up!
