“Thank you, Meghan, for showing our pup some love! She was loving yet calm and gentle with Colter. I could tell from the first meeting that she is experienced and knowledgeable about pets. I know Colter looks forward to spending more time with her.”

“Timothy was great! This was our first time using his services, and everything went smoothly. He was communicative, easygoing, and very flexible. He even offered to refill our dog’s water bowl! He sent plenty of photos, and our dog looked happy and excited in all of them. We’ll definitely book with him again. Thank you!”

About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember. I rescued my first dog from the local humane society when I was 11, and that experience started a lifelong passion for caring for animals. Before becoming a nurse, I worked as a veterinary assistant for two local animal hospitals where I gained valuable hands-on experience with animal care and handling. I developed skills in basic training, puppy socialization, reading animal body language, medication administration, subcutaneous fluids, nail trimming, grooming, and bathing. I also volunteered for several years with a local dog rescue as a foster, helping provide temporary homes, structure, and love for dogs before their adoptions. Many needed socialization, basic training, and a calm environment to help them thrive. I later served as the rescue’s foster and event coordinator until 2020. Today I share my home with three of my own beloved dogs. One of our previous dogs had epilepsy and required frequent monitoring and medication, which gave me additional experience caring for pets with medical needs. In my free time I enjoy traveling, camping, hiking with my dogs, training with our Belgian Malinois, and watching my daughter ride her horse. Caring for animals has always been a true passion of mine, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. My goal is for you to have complete peace of mind knowing your pets are safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m a nurse who works three 12-hour shifts each week, which gives me several days off to dedicate to caring for animals. I truly enjoy spending time with pets and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while their owners are away. My schedule is fairly flexible on my days off, and I’m happy to work with you to meet your pet’s individual needs and routine. Please check my calendar for availability and feel free to reach out with any specific requests. I will always do my best to accommodate and treat your animals with the same care and attention I would give my own. At this time, I’m unable to host dogs in my home, but I’m happy to care for them in the place they feel most comfortable—your home. I offer drop-in visits, dog walking, and extended daytime care depending on your pet’s needs. I understand how important it is to know your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. My goal is to provide dependable, personalized care in a calm and compassionate environment, treating your pets with the same attention and kindness I would give my own.

“Stephen is a wonderful dog walker! Super attentive and patient with our very large and silly Golden Retriever. Stephen is reliable and his love of dogs is unquestionable. Highly recommend Stephen for all of your dog care needs.”

About: I’ve been told I am the best pet sitter ever! I love animals with my whole heart and have so much fun meeting all the critters in my neighborhood! I am very flexible with my schedule. I work 8-4. I can stop by multiple times a day depending on how close you live to me. For walks 12-1pm Mon-Fri I will only be able to accept requests within a 20-minute driving radius of my job in Hyde Park, as I have an hour lunch break. I have a cat and will not be offering services that include taking your pet into my home. I will only be offering drop in visits and walks.

“Thank you - life saver !”

About: Choosing a sitter is about more than just a check-in; it’s about finding a calm, capable environment where your pet feels truly understood. My background in healthcare naturally informs how I care for animals—I tend to be an observant caregiver, keeping a watchful eye on comfort levels and the small details that matter for a pet’s well-being. As a working-from-home mom, my days are rooted in a reliable routine. This allows me to provide the consistent, low-stress supervision that is so helpful for all animals who need a little extra help and those who require a patient, intuitive touch to feel at home. I have experience caring for a wide range of needs and species—from the high energy of puppies to the quiet companionship of seniors, the unique needs of rescues, and even farm friends like chickens. Whether it's keeping a medication schedule on track, assisting with mobility challenges, or simply providing a quiet space for a nervous soul to decompress, I focus on creating a safe, gentle environment where every animal in my care can truly relax. If for some reason (vacations/getaways) we are unavailable it will be marked on the calendar. I do my best to confirm my calendar and availability daily. Our front and back yard is fenced in and we are set back from the road. There is plenty of room to run and play. As for feeding; All dogs and/or cats will be fed separately. This includes treats.

About: I cared for my friend’s dog while she was out of town, making sure he was fed, walked, and loved like my own. That experience showed me how much I enjoy giving pets the attention and comfort they need when their people are away. I'm patient, reliable, and treat every pet like family! Pet care fits perfectly into my routine—I enjoy being active and love spending time with animals. Whether it's early morning walks or evening check-ins, I make time each day to give pets the care and attention they deserve. It never feels like a chore—it’s something I genuinely enjoy! Whether in my home or a client’s, I make sure pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I follow their routine closely—feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. I keep the environment calm and clean, and I always give them plenty of attention and affection like they’re my own.

About: I know how stressful it can be leaving your pet behind, so my goal is to make the experience as smooth and comfortable as possible—for both you and your pet. I’m calm, attentive, and great at sticking to routines. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, or somewhere in between, I provide a safe, loving environment they can relax in. I currently am a student from home so I have more than enough time to take care of your furry companion while you are away. I used to walk my dog around my neighborhood sometimes to the river If it’s really nice out just get her some fresh air. Proper feeding times and bathroom breaks.

About: Aside from growing up caring for animals, I’ve worked at a dog daycare for about a year. During my time there I learned a lot about dog behavior and how to read their body language. Now, I am currently studying canine training and management at SUNY Cobleskill where I work with a variety of canine’s daily. So I am currently on summer break from school, so I can assure you I have plenty of time to care for your fur babies! I start my day off by making sure my babies are fed and have fresh water, followed by going out for a walk and playing outside for a little! I have a dog and a cat who is very shy. If needed I have a crate that can be used.

“She was excellent with my dog, I would hire her anyday to take care of my pet,she did everything I asked correctly and took great care of him”
