Highly-rated overnight sitters - Wheelerville
“Kara was amazing with my two fur babies, while I was out of town. I didn’t have to worry leaving them and she checked in frequently and also sent me pictures. I highly recommend her and am very grateful and pleased. Thanks again”
“Rocky clearly enjoyed his stay with his new friends, although happy to see me he clearly was upset leaving Bear, whined half way home and slept like a rock ! Thanks again to Mike and we will look forward to our next stay :)”
“Liberty was a bit anxious about being left for so long and Megan took great care and tried to help her feel comfortable, took her for walks and even got her some special treats. The daily pictures and updates helped us to be more comfortable too!”
“Vanessa went above and beyond caring for my dog. He was well cared for including feeding, socialization, and exercise. He got to experience new surroundings and settings that included an exercise arena that he thoroughly enjoyed. I appreciate the time and attention given to him and would highly recommend anyone to trust their dog with Vanessa and her family. Thank You!”
“Lorraine went above and beyond to take care of Penny, making sure that my old lady bulldog is comfortable in every way. Cannot recommend Lorraine enough! She’s practically, a family for us now ❤️”
“Mikayla was super accommodating to our hectic schedule and helped work around some funny times that we had. She sent picture updates of my dog and her response time was fast whenever I had questions or was just checking in. We did a meet and greet before boarding to make sure she was a perfect fit for my crazy goofy dog and it was a sure hit! I felt safe and comfortable leaving my dog with Mikayla and I will definitely be using her services again for future boarding. 10/10 recommend!”
“It is such a relief to find a sitter for your dog and have peace of mind. This couple are a gem. We received a bunch of videos and pictures to show how much fun our dogs were having while we were attending an event. Highly recommend!”
“Mary is the perfect Rover for us. We left Corby, our yorkie-mix with Mary and never worried once. We knew she missed her two little dogs and would spoil Corby. He had a great time in her fenced in yard and made himself right at home on the sofa and checking out the activity outside. A quiet country setting Corby will be visiting every time we go away. She sent us picture updates and notes.”
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!

About: Hi, I’m Kessiah! Your pet’s new best friend!! With over 10 years of experience caring for animals, I bring genuine love and patience to every pet I meet. I grew up with cats and have shared life with my dog since she was just 9 weeks old—so I understand what it takes to care for pets at every stage of life. In addition to personal experience, I’ve worked at a doggie daycare, which gave me hands-on experience managing dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. Whether it’s a playful pup, a shy senior, or a sassy cat, I know how to make them feel safe and loved. I offer dependable, attentive care—whether that means daily walks, overnight stays, or just some company while you’re away. Your pet’s well-being is always my top priority, and I’ll keep you updated with plenty of pics and check-ins so you never feel far from your furry friend. Let’s set up a meet-and-greet—I’d love to get to know you and your pet! I am available for boarding 7 days a week, overnight stays and drop-ins available 7 days a week as well (depending on location) and weekends with no restrictions. In my home: At this time, I am only accepting cats for boarding. I do have a dog who gets along well with cats. Because they will be unfamiliar with each other, I will never leave them together unaccompanied. If your kitty is afraid of dogs or has a general distain for dogs, I can and will keep them separated! In your home: Your home, your rules! While you're away, I will do my best to stick to your pets everyday routine.
“Levin and Rachel are absolutely the best and if u Ever need a sitter i highly recommend these two. My Blaze a aussie is a nervous dog and never been away from me. they were so good with him...they have been sending pictures and letting me know how hes doing. Thank you Rachel and Kevin”
“Emily was great watching our two senior dogs for the weekend, one of whom has kidney issues and lots of special needs (deaf, blind). We were thrilled with Emily's qualifications, and were equally happy with her proactive communication. Our dogs easily get stressed when their routine changes, and we were pleasantly surprised when they were calm and happy when we picked them up. Emily was great about following our care instructions and clearly made sure our pups had a good time.”
About: I’ve taken care of many kinds of different dogs. Parents, friends and family have asked me to care for them while they’re gone. My childhood dog was boxer so have a lot of experience with that breed and I have a pit bull terrier of my own. I am currently home full time, so I’ll have a lot of free time to play and care for your fur babies. Considering I have lots of free time having a dog or a couple dogs to care for isn’t a problem for! I love all animals and treat them like my own! I have a partially fenced yard and a long 100+ ft chain that I could clip onto your dogs collar so they can roam around without getting lose/ running away, they will have their own food and water bowls and be taken out as needed. If your dog needs to be in a crate I have two at home that I could use. I also have a pup of my own that your dog can play with.

“Fantastic help, she watched our boys while we were out of town and made sure to keep us in the loop! She gave medicine (to cats!), swept, and scooped litter. What I appreciated most was she took some initiative while we were gone and ensured our faucet was dripping during cold snaps. Could not recommend more highly, your pets will be well looked after.”
“Our senior cat is normally slow to adjust to new people. But with Lauren’s calm and kind nature, he immediately took to her. A wonderful pet sitter who went above and beyond for our cat. So glad we found her.”
“Holly took wonderful care of Jade while we were away! She stayed in contact with me, sent lots of pictures and gave Jade lots of love. I will definitely look to book with her again when needed.”
“Kiera is a sweetheart! We met prior to the check ins and i felt very comfortable. She was there on time for the times I asked, late evening and early morning. She sent great pics and I could tell my dog was well and happy!”
About: I have experience caring for cats with a variety of personalities from playful kittens to shy or independent adults. I understand how important it is to read a cat’s body language, move at their pace, and make them feel safe and comfortable. I’m patient, gentle, and happy to provide everything from meals and litter box cleaning to playtime and quiet company.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats! Very familiar with both big and small breeds. We have a 6 year old yellow lab, Bodhi, who is extremely friendly and obedient. We could easily give lots of love and attention to some more animals!! I’m currently a stay-at-home mom to two kids. We’re home a lot, always out in our backyard playing. My weekly routine revolves around them and their school schedules, but for the most part I am at home. I have a large fenced in backyard in a safe neighborhood. We have motion sensor lights and camera in both the front and backyard. We also have baby gates up all around the house with garbages and cabinets all baby proofed as well! Super safe environment, nothing unsafe they can get into. We can crate or just separate and give them their own space with baby gates. We also have a nice cool finished basement that’s set up like a spare bedroom with king size bed and tv if that’s more their style :)

About: I have been through in my care of cats since I transitioned from a child who grew up with cats his whole life, to an adult who helps care for other's cats. I go beyond the basics to really try to understand your cats to trully listen to them. Even if it is just to know when they try and con a treat when they don't need one!
“Rebecca did an amazing job taking care of our babies, Nacho and Fleuter. She was patient, kind, and loving. She treated them as if they were her own. She was there at the times that I scheduled. I trust her completely. She was perfect!! I highly recommend her and would definitely use her again. A+++++++”
About: Quality pet care, mixed with love, exercise, fun, and safety. That is what I'm all about. I have loved pets since was younger, and first started working with pets as a pet sitter/dog walker. I loved getting to know fur babies and what makes them happiest. I like bringing new buddies home for Lui and mostly I like helping people have a little more time by taking amazing care of their loved ones while at work. I'm happiest when I'm with my pup Lui. He's soon to be 2 years old and still is my spoiled little boy. The love I have for Lui is the love your baby will get when booking with me. We go on walks, we learn new tricks, and get lots of exercise! The more energy the better! I've also had experience dealing with pets with anxiety or aggressive tendencies. Not new to taking my time to build trust and offering a separate space to a dog who needs it. I have cameras in my house offer peace of mind that your loved one is safe & see all the fun we have when indoors, like TV time or tug of war. It's always a fun time and I'm always here for it. I organize my schedule mostly to work with pets full time, my work occupies me from 4 AM to about noon and work 5 minutes from my house with liberty to stop in at any point. Most days I am here through the mornings too so your furry loved ones get undivided attention. I only book dogs in time blocks of 5 hours, so I am never over crowded when it comes to boarding or day care. I like to be sure each pet is taken care of personally and effectively. Pet-Sitting: Often this service for me changes based on owner preference. It requires more in depth detail about the home life of the pet. One reason for this is to ensure I am not interrupting any routines the pet may have. Boarding & Day Care: I treat all pets as if they were my very best friend. We have tv time together (Dog TV), we go on two 30 minute walks within the 5 hour time block. We even eat meals together. Being that my yard is unfenced I personally walk the dogs on leash for 30-45 minutes. Meals for pets are based on owner specifications. Overnight boarding being different in a sense of they get one night walk before bed time/wind down time. They are uncrated (unless the owner specifies to do so), so they have full use of the living area and pets are allowed to be on the furniture purchased for them (Although I am not new to waking up and them being on the couch!)
About: Former volunteer through the APF - along with being a cat & dog mom myself! I also have personal experience with smaller animals - such as rabbits, hamsters and even rats! Being a full time stay at home mom, I have a lot of open time on my hands! You would have my full dedication and focus on your fur baby 🤍 Available any day, any time, full availability ☺️ I treat every pet like my own and make sure they always feel safe and comfortable. In my home, I keep things clean, calm, and pet-friendly, with cozy spots for rest and plenty of space to play. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I stick to their normal routine so they feel right at home. I make sure food, water, and walks happen on schedule, and I always double check doors, gates, and anything that keeps them safe. I also love sending photo updates so you can see how happy your pet is while you’re away!
About: What sets me apart is my calm, patient approach and my attention to each cat’s individual personality and needs. I understand that cats thrive on consistency and trust, so I focus on creating a stress-free environment where they feel safe and comfortable while their owner is away. I’m experienced with: - Kittens and young cats, including reinforcing litter box habits, play-based enrichment, and gentle socialization. - Senior cats who may need extra patience, slower routines, medication support, or close monitoring for changes in behavior or appetite. - Shy, anxious, or independent cats, giving them space when needed while still building trust at their pace. - Maintaining feeding schedules, clean litter boxes, and keeping homes tidy and secure. I also prioritize communication by sending regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident that their cat is happy and well cared for. My goal is always to provide reliable, compassionate care tailored to each cat’s unique needs.
“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!!”

About: I have over forty years of dog experience. I bred German Shepherd’s for fifteen years. I have taken obedience, agility, and Nose work from local professional trainers and have done puppy, beginner, intermediate and advanced obedience with three of my dogs. I also worked for 1.5 years at a doggie daycare in Utica. I want to do my doggie daycare on a small scale so your pet receives individual attention. I have seen places doing 25- 50 dogs with only one or two people watching them and I feel there is a great need for care on a much smaller scale. So here I am! I retired from banking and with my husband live on our small farm in the country. We built what we call the dog arena for exercising our personal dogs and I intend to use it to also exercise my clients dogs. I am available most weekends and week days. I was working a part time job at a doggie daycare but recently decided that I would prefer to be home with my pups and yours! I have a large fenced in exercise area. I have gates in my home so I can gradually introduce our dogs or can keep them separate depending on individual needs.

“Cowboy had a great time with Paul! He was very patient with our rescue who takes some time to get used to men but he came home to us very happy! Will definitely be using him again in the future.”
“Exceptional people! They are extremely responsive and were very welcoming. We set up a meet and greet to make sure Sheba would get along with Bear which made me feel comfortable that I was leaving Sheba in good, capable hands. I get several updates throughout the day which is awesome and they are very flexible with times. 10/10 would recommend to a friend or anyone that needs doggy daycare. Thanks for being awesome guys!”
“Dennis and Dayna were wonderful and kind. Buster and Brin did so well we decided to book them for another day. Buster enjoyed the play time and came home nice and tired. Would not hesitate to used Dennis and Dayna again to care for my fur babies.”
“Our Marcie came home nice and tired, and didn't seem stressed at all. Mikayla has other pets that are friendly and sociable, so we are of course happy to have our dog have the opportunity to play and socialize with them.”
About: I have been a dog owners for 15 years. My two beautiful shitzus have since gone to the rainbow bridge. I miss those wagging tails and long walks. I would love to share my time and love with your pet. I know how difficult it is to find a sitter and be comfortable while your apart from your fur babies. I have recently retired and home all day. I live in Greenfield Center on 8 private acres nestled in the woods with a large fenced in backyard . I am retired and home all day , I mostly garden and work around the house. Pets would be an added pleasure to my home I have a fenced in backyard. I live in the country at the end of a cul-de-sac my house is one level which makes it easy for little ones and elderly pets.
About: Raised a well trained border collie in high school and recently fostered a puppy that became a service dog through Dogs For Better Lives. We trained it for 14 months to prepare for service training. Typically the professional training takes 4-6 months but our boy graduated in 2.5. I love short, fun training sessions and consistency. I was a solo traveler living the vanlife but am back home helping my folks in Maryland. I love dogs but owning one would radically change my lifestyle. I’m hoping that through Rover I can still have some dog time on the road and take some good boys and girls for adventures outdoors. Primarily I like to do drop-in visit for walks and short training sessions. Once we build a rapport, I’d like to do hikes and overnight adventures.

About: I have hands on experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities, including my own pup. I’m patient, loving, and pay close attention to each pet’s needs and routine. From walks and playtime to cuddles and calm supervision, I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and happy in my care. I’m currently unemployed so I have plenty of free time to spare for your pets 💕 I am looking for full time so my availability is scheduled to change.

About: I grew up with dogs and cats, so animals have always been a natural part of my life. Whether it's a bouncy puppy who needs extra patience and play, or a houseful of pets with different personalities, I'm completely in my element. I'm experienced handling high-energy dogs and juggling multiple pets at once — keeping everyone happy, safe, and on their routine is something I genuinely enjoy. Pet owners can feel at ease knowing their fur babies are in the hands of someone who treats them like my own. I'm attentive, reliable, and will always keep you updated with photos and check-ins so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing! I'm a teacher so until June 26, I can only do from 3:30 on during the week and then free on weekends. After June 26th I'm only working part time 8-11am Tuesdays and Thursdays so I'm available anytime after that! I am willing to bring pets to my moms if needed. I have an apartment and an animal of my own so my moms would be the better option. She has a quiet/comfortable home and a decent sized yard!
About: I have been passionate about caring for animals since childhood, with a lifelong commitment to helping pets and stray animals thrive in safe, loving environments. My goal is to ensure the health, happiness, and safety of every animal I encounter, treating them with the same love and care as if they were my own. With years of personal experience, including caring for a senior dog who lived a full 15 years and now rests peacefully, as well as raising my adventurous 4-year-old cat and my energetic 2-year-old dog, I bring dedication and compassion to animal care. Whether providing hands-on assistance or finding homes for animals in need, I am always ready to go above and beyond to keep them out of harm’s way and surrounded by love. Animal care has always been a big part of my life. I grew up around animals, which eventually led me to work in a veterinary clinic where I gained hands-on experience with pet health, behavior, and daily care. I’m no longer employed at the clinic, but the knowledge and skills I gained there still guide the way I care for every pet I work with. My schedule is now fully open, which means I can give your pet the time, attention, and consistency they deserve. Whether your companion needs walks, playtime, medication support, or simply a reliable and comforting presence, I’m committed to providing exceptional care. I treat every animal like my own and make sure you feel confident while you’re away by offering dependable communication and genuine love for your pet. If your pet has specific routines, quirks, or needs, I’m happy to accommodate. I’m excited to meet you and your furry family member! 🐾 I have a medium sized outdoor fenced in area that also is connected to an indoor area to get out of the heat. I also have a dog tie out that goes from the house down our hill.

About: Rest assured that when you book a service with me, you will receive the utmost best care! I grew up tending my parents farm and we had plenty of cats and dog that lived with us. Growing up in this environment I know a lot about caring for animals. I am a very outgoing person who loves hiking, long walks to the park, and making homemade dog treats! I enjoy checking on cats and dogs, as well as providing plenty of play time. I’m a big fan of long walks on nice days! Safety is my priority! I have one pup of my own to keep yours company if you’d like. If not that’s okay too. She is a 20 lb shih tzu mix and loves to play! She is friendly with both dogs and cats. I offer all service options, from dog walking and check ins, to house and pet sitting.
“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.”
About: From the excited, to the reserved, to the elderly, I have a depth of experience to care for your animal kin. I've helped care for senior dogs when they struggled to walk down stairs, when food requirements changed on a whim, when the house has to be changed to reduce trips on tiles, and even when they can start wandering past bed time. It was not easy to care for them as puppies and it's not easy when they are elderly. But if one loves enough when they are babies, then they love enough to do the same as they are seniors. I'm between jobs and actively looking, so I have plenty of time to care for all your animal family members beyond a stop to fill bowls and empty boxes and the like. It all comes down to the first meeting. Not the first job. I want to know what you, your pets, and your house is like so I can do my very best to be attentive and observent in caring for them. This includes setting up a person emergency plan for common emergency care should it arise. Preparedness beats panic after all!

“Kara was amazing with my two fur babies, while I was out of town. I didn’t have to worry leaving them and she checked in frequently and also sent me pictures. I highly recommend her and am very grateful and pleased. Thanks again”
“Rocky clearly enjoyed his stay with his new friends, although happy to see me he clearly was upset leaving Bear, whined half way home and slept like a rock ! Thanks again to Mike and we will look forward to our next stay :)”
“Liberty was a bit anxious about being left for so long and Megan took great care and tried to help her feel comfortable, took her for walks and even got her some special treats. The daily pictures and updates helped us to be more comfortable too!”
“Vanessa went above and beyond caring for my dog. He was well cared for including feeding, socialization, and exercise. He got to experience new surroundings and settings that included an exercise arena that he thoroughly enjoyed. I appreciate the time and attention given to him and would highly recommend anyone to trust their dog with Vanessa and her family. Thank You!”

“Mikayla was super accommodating to our hectic schedule and helped work around some funny times that we had. She sent picture updates of my dog and her response time was fast whenever I had questions or was just checking in. We did a meet and greet before boarding to make sure she was a perfect fit for my crazy goofy dog and it was a sure hit! I felt safe and comfortable leaving my dog with Mikayla and I will definitely be using her services again for future boarding. 10/10 recommend!”
“It is such a relief to find a sitter for your dog and have peace of mind. This couple are a gem. We received a bunch of videos and pictures to show how much fun our dogs were having while we were attending an event. Highly recommend!”
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!

“Emily was great watching our two senior dogs for the weekend, one of whom has kidney issues and lots of special needs (deaf, blind). We were thrilled with Emily's qualifications, and were equally happy with her proactive communication. Our dogs easily get stressed when their routine changes, and we were pleasantly surprised when they were calm and happy when we picked them up. Emily was great about following our care instructions and clearly made sure our pups had a good time.”
