“Alyssa was fantastic! Very flexible and her communication with scheduling or updates about my kitties was efficient but intentional! This was extremely helpful since we hired her over the Christmas holiday, so everyone is so busy, but I never had to reach out to her nor ask her questions. She was thorough with check-ins, took great photos every visit and my kitties loved her! I would most definitely recommend her and will be keeping her info in my "back pocket" to use next time because she was so reliable!”

“Shelby is an amazing pet sitter! She is so kind and is a great communicator. She will take great care of your pet and makes you feel more comfortable about leaving your pet.”
“This was our first time having Alyssa as our house sitter and it was for quite a long stay. I’ve had some challenging experiences in the past, but Alyssa made me feel very secure in her ability to take care of all the animals. She was communicative, reliable and overall just had great energy about her. We feel really fortunate to have found her and we hope to use her in the future! Thank again Alyssa, we really appreciate you!”

“Emily was awesome! I was super nervous because I had never had someone watch my dog before but she took great care of my high energy dog while I was gone. Will definitely schedule again sometime!”
“Morgan took wonderful care of my two cats and home while I was on vacation. I felt confident that she would follow my detailed instructions, which was a huge relief. I tend to be a worrywart about my kitties and knowing that someone reliable was taking care of them eased my anxiety. There were even a few house-type things I asked if she could help with like watering plants and getting the mail, and she was graciously willing. Morgan always responded to messages quickly and professionally. I highly recommend Morgan and would rebook with her if needed. Thank you for taking great care of my fur babies!”

“Brianna was lovely! She took the time to meet my cat before confirming the booking and was very agreeable to all my many specific requests. I really appreciated that she was gentle and patient with my cat when she was shy and anxious about being around someone new. I highly recommend booking with Brianna! :)”
“Brandy is awesome! She is very communicative, sends pictures, and even cleaned up after my kittens’ messes when they were digging in my plants. She is my go-to sitter!”

We received photos daily and updates on our cats. I’ll definitely book her again when we need someone to watch over our cats.”
“Makenna was prompt, reliable, caring and enthusiastic! She went above and beyond expectations. We will definitely request her again the next time we need someone for drop-in visits for feeding and companionship.”

About: I have been around dogs and cats since before I could walk! I started pet sitting for my neighbors when I was a kid and have spent most of my life helping out my friends and family with their pets. I am a huge animal lover and also very active! I often pet sit for my friends and love to take their dogs on walks and runs. I live in Albany with my cat, Bill, and work from home a lot so I have lots of availability and would love some more dog time in my life! I work from home four days a week (wednesday’s i am in office) so i have a lot of availability to spend time with your dog! I am also an active runner and walker, so I can get your pup outside and get out energy if that’s what they need, or we can cuddle up inside and play or hang out :) I live in a spacious two-bedroom apartment with lots of grassy areas and walking paths around. I do have a cat, he gets along well with dogs, but your pup would need to be okay with cats! I have a very gentle approach to dogs and respecting their boundaries is so important to me. Depending on what you prefer for your dog, they are free to roam my apartment and be on furniture, unless you prefer them not to be! I have some experience training so if you’re in the middle of building habits, i will adhere to those practices :)
“We brought our dog to Whitney’s house for three days while we were in the area for work and she took great care of him! She was super flexible since we needed to pick him up at different times each day. And our dog was happy and well exercised when we got him in the evening. If we are ever back in the area again and need babysitting we will definitely bring our puppy back. Thanks Whitney!”
“Tracy did a great job taking care of our anxious dog, Jake. She has plans in place to keep dogs separated if need be, and seems very experienced handling all sorts of behaviors. We really appreciate her depth of experience, quick response time, and flexibility.”
“We’ve been looking for a new spot for doggie day care for our 2 year old Ranger and Tianna is a great fit for us!! Instantly at the meet and greet it was obvious that she knows dogs really well and enjoys being around them and caring for them. Ranger had a blast playing with the other dogs during his day visit and we are happy to have found a great spot for him!”
“We needed doggy day care for our two dogs and Joe was wonderful with communication from the start to the end. Send updates and videos. Happy we found someone local to watch our pups. Will be using him for boarding our dogs for few days soon! Thanks!”
“Catrina (&her partner) took great care of my pup! My pup seemed to be calm and comfortable throughout the day. I appreciated her ongoing communication and updates throughout his time there. I have already booked with her for a second time!! Thanks so much Catrina!”
“Gayle was so good with our girls. She helped them get through their nerves upon our departure and was wonderful throughout the even after some displays of poor manners early on. She sent pictures and updates that kept our minds at ease. Her setup is great for the dogs and they made themselves comfortable. Can't say enough great about her!”
“Chelsea was great with my dog, she was very responsive and you can tell how much she loves dogs! My pup came home very tired and happy from running around with her boys all day. Would definitely recommend her!”
“Plain and simple, Madison was nothing less than a pure blessing caring for my puppy Sailor. She didn’t simply care for her, she made her part of her family. Finding Madison (Maddy) to care for my pup was an answered prayer. I cannot sing her praise enough! 5++++++++ stars!!”
“Hailey and her family were so wonderful to our Kai. They watched him while we went hiking in Silver Falls. She sent pics and updates so we knew Kai was in excellent hands. Kai was happy and relaxed when we picked him up.”
“Bridget had a great time with Novely. Novely was very kind and caring with Bridget. With the photos and video Novely sent I could see that Bridget ran and played in the yard with Novely’s dog and had a fun day.”
About: I’ve been in love with cats & dogs for as long as I can remember. In my home we always had 2 dogs and 2 cats. I cared for four family friends’ dogs in California the last couple of years. I love taking dogs on walks, and play time and cuddles with cats too. I have a mini poodle and a cat at the moment, they are best friends :) I am an RN but I am not working at the moment, so I spend a lot of time at home, so message me and we can see if what you need works out❤️ I will gladly send you pictures and video updates of your dog. I am also happy to play with them using their favorite toys! I am a nurse and I live with my husband who is a doctor (he also adores dogs). I am readily available to provide walks and companionship to your beloved pet on my days off. I would only dog sit your dog if I was not going to work, since when I do work in the hospital I’m gone all day and would not want to leave them for that long. So, on my days off and I dog sit and give them all the attention! I live in a 800 sq ft apartment overlooking a large park which offers an ideal space for playtime. I also live near a beautiful pond great for walking and exploring. I prefer dogs that will not sleep on my bed, but I’m ok with them going on the sofa.
“Danielle was wonderful with our shy, anxious rescue. She communicated well and asked plenty of great questions, was kind and patient, and has a calm demeanor. We weren't able to do a meet and greet in advance since I was traveling through, which made it even more impressive that my pup warmed up to her right away and relaxed so quickly. Responsible, professional service. Highly recommend!”
“Laura kindly helped me out, taking Cosi for a last min booking for daycare with one day notice, even though she had an exam that day. She even provided pick up and drop off from our home. We are lucky to have her helping us in a tough spot! And Cosi was very happy to see her. ❤️”
“Diana D. was so accommodating to take my little Harley at such short notice. When I came back to pick him up she shared with me some simple ways to help him feel more confident. Diana sent pictures throughout the day as well, which helped me get the a long meeting. Thank you again Diana.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all breeds and sizes since I was 10 years old. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me with walking, feeding, bathing, and giving their pets lots of love and attention. I also have experience with senior pets and pets who need medication. I managed a pet sitting business for over a year, so I’m very familiar with handling schedules, routines, and giving pets the care they’re used to, even when their humans are away! Housesitting and dog walks are my one and only job! If your pet needs early morning care, midday check-ins, or evening snuggles, I’ll work with you to make sure their routine stays consistent and stress-free. I’m also available for overnight stays and weekend visits, just let me know what works best for you and your pets! When caring for pets in your home, I always respect your space and follow your instructions carefully. From feeding routines to walk routes and medication needs. I make sure doors and gates are securely closed and keep a close eye on pets during outdoor time. I aim to keep your pet’s environment as stress-free and familiar as possible, so they feel safe and loved while you're away.
About: I have worked at a boarding facility for three years. I currently work at an animal emergency facility and have been here for 2 years. I love animals and caring for them is my calling. I am well trained in dealing with emergency, animal nutrition, can trim nails and do basic grooming of pets as well! I am very flexible and am able to juggling my responsibility as needed. I do work as a veterinary assistant but I have a set schedule that allows me to be work another job. I have a create if needed. I have cat and dog proofed my home. I have a quiet room for birds and rodents if need be that away from the fur babies. I leash walk dogs only. I am willing to leash walk cats but only by request. I live by the Jackson Frazier Wet lands so walking dogs there is always a nice walk for them and me.
About: As a dog walker and sitter with a variety of experience, including caring for puppies, I offer trusted and loving care. I genuinely miss my own dogs while in college, making me committed to providing a home-like environment. Additionally, as a seasoned cat mom for 5 years, I bring a unique understanding and care for feline friends. I am always willing to learn more about others pets and how I can provide the best care! Currently, since I am in college and holding up another job I have less time during the day. I almost always have weekends off and will always be honest about what I can handle when it comes to your pets care. We can make arrangements to accommodate either before or after my work hours. I am dedicated to ensuring your pet's well-being by incorporating daily feeding, exercise, playtime, and attention into my routine. With my availability and commitment to excellent pet care, I can meet your furry friend's needs effectively. When caring for pets in client homes, I prioritize safety, trust, and comfort. I provide reliable care, follow routines, ensure security, maintain communication, and respect privacy.
“Brandy is so great! We booked her again after a house sit for dog walking. Communicative and no problems at all! We won’t hesitate to keep requesting Brandy for our pup!”
About: I have had a cat for over 20 years and a dog for the last 7 years. I am sensitive and caring towards animals and would like to help you out by looking after your fur babies to give you piece of mind. I have experience giving medicine to both dogs and cats. My previous cat required a pill daily. I have also given medications to the dogs and cats I have watched per the owners' instructions. I work part-time from home right now, so I have plenty of time available for pet care including dog walking and checking on pets. I walk my own dogs every day. I am very detail oriented and will follow any and all instructions you have for caring for your pet. I know how stressful it can be to be away from pets and want to make it easy for others.
About: Growing up, my family fostered more than 10 dogs, giving me experience with dogs of many breeds, personalities, and care needs. Combined with over 10 years of caring for animals, this taught me the patience, consistency, and attention every pet deserves. Hi! I'm Jaedyn, and animals have been a big part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my family fostered more than 10 dogs, and I loved helping care for them. Being around so many different breeds, personalities, and energy levels taught me that every pet is unique and deserves patience, consistency, and individualized care. Beyond dogs and cats, I also have years of experience caring for rabbits, guinea pigs, frogs, and other small animals. I raised, bred, and showed rabbits through 4-H, where I learned the importance of recognizing health concerns, maintaining consistent routines, and building trust with animals through calm, attentive care. I'm especially comfortable with shy or nervous pets and enjoy taking the time to earn their trust at their own pace. Whether your pet is energetic and loves adventure or prefers quiet companionship, I'll meet them where they're most comfortable. With my flexible schedule, I'm able to give pets plenty of attention while you're away. I'll treat your pet like they're my own, keep you updated with photos and messages, and do my best to make sure both you and your pet feel completely at ease. My schedule is very flexible, allowing me to accommodate morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend visits. Because I volunteer part-time, I'm able to adjust my schedule around your pet's routine whenever possible. Whether that means multiple potty breaks, long walks, playtime, medication, or overnight house sitting, my goal is to keep their day as normal as possible while you're away. For house sitting, I can often spend the majority of the day with your pet if that's something they'd benefit from. If I'll need to step away, I'll always communicate that with you beforehand so there are no surprises. Your pet's safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities. Before every booking, I take time to learn their normal schedule, favorite activities, medications, feeding routine, and anything else that helps them feel comfortable while you're away. I'm especially patient with shy or nervous pets and understand that some animals need a little extra time to warm up to someone new. I never rush interactions and always let pets build trust at their own pace. During walks and visits, I'm careful about securely attaching leashes before opening doors, checking gates, and paying close attention to my surroundings. In your home, I'll treat your space with the same respect I'd want someone to show mine, following your instructions carefully and making sure everything is secure before I leave. You'll also receive regular updates and plenty of photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for.
About: I've taken care of animals since childhood. On the farm, I took care of chickens, cattle, cats, and dogs. I have experience with exotic pets. I've worked in an animal shelter, several veterinary clinics, and attended veterinary school for nearly 2 years. I'm very comfortable with giving medications and senior care. I’m able to care for pets daily during the week and over the weekends, and I can provide care in the middle of the day as well. I think it’s so important to care for a pet in their own home where they will feel the most comfortable, and I strive to keep to their routine to ease anxiety. I’m very respectful of the homes I pet sit in, and I always leave the place spotless.
About: Please reach out to me with questions, my schedule right now is a bit wonky, so if there’s a day you see I’m not available and are curious about, please message me! I've been around lots of animals my whole life. My parents had anything from hamsters to bearded dragons. All I need is clear and precise instructions on how to take care of your pets, and we're good to go! Right now my schedule is a bit wonky, but I’ll most likely be working Thursday-Sunday, approximately 8a-6p. I would be willing to work an hour before or after these hours! I have multiple cats that I take care of, and have to deal with their care on a daily basis! I can do anything from taking your dog on a walk, to just letting them out every few hours. Or even doing overnights if need be. I'm good at cleaning up along the way, so if your pet makes a mess, rest assured you'll maybe never even notice it was there! I love giving constant attention to animals if they are willing to have it, but am also okay with just occupying the space they breathe in. You just gotta tell me the vibe and I'm all in!
About: I’m experienced in caring for pets of all sizes and temperaments. I love walking dogs, teaching them new tricks and words and most of all play time outdoors. I will give them all the love while you’re away. I am a homemaker with free availability, I am usually home meal prepping or tending to the garden. I am flexible with schedules and routines to fit your needs. I have a home with a large fenced yard in NW Albany. I have two doodles in my home. We spend a lot of time outdoors especially in the morning. Lots of cuddles, playtime, and treats are shared and given throughout the day.

He was able to accommodate drop off and pick up times as we changed both times. He let him on the furniture and sat in a chair just like at home. He understands a high energy dog with lots of walks and ball play. He works from home so Odie was never alone. Such a relief to know he was in good hands. . We will definitely use Philly again.”
“My dog has a great time with Bradley. He seemed very happy and got plenty of attention and activity. Bradley wa great in communication, genuine affection for pups. I’d definitely look to Bradley in the future for dog sitting.”
“My boys (older doodle and younger dachshund mix) were excited to meet Larissa and I was grateful to see that they settled in quickly. They stayed for 2 days and now I know I have somewhere that they will be safe and taken care of when I’ve got to be away. I received updates that included both pictures and actual descriptions of how things were going with them. If you are looking for a safe, loving, family experience for your fur baby, Larissa is my number one recommendation!”
“Our best friend, Calamity Jane, had a wonderful time with Tania. This is the longest time apart for us and Tania texted daily and sent pics and vids showing our furry pal having fun and looking happy. We're delighted with Tania, will be return customers and can recommend unconditionally.”
“I’m so glad we found Maddy! She assured me that my precious old gal was fully integrated into their family throughout the stay. I very much look forward to using Maddy again.”
