Dog Sitting Washingtonville

About: Hi! My name is Sarahi, and I'm a gal who has always had a passion for loving and working with animals. I have 9 years of pet sitting experience, as I've been pet sitting since I was fourteen years old, and haven't stopped since. I love animals of any size or personality or quirk - they're all worthy of love and attention in my eyes! However, those who know me know that I have a soft spot for dogs :) Neighbors, friends and family members have all trusted me to feed, walk and care for their precious fur-babies. I have experience caring for doggos of all ages- from puppies to seniors. Depending on location, duration, and/or what you prefer, I can plan to stay with them overnight or just drop in to spend time during the day as needed. I'm all about doing what is most comfortable for your fur-baby! Gentle compassion and enthusiastic care are standards I always uphold. I value clear communication and honesty with pet parents. My attention to detail helps me ensure that every pet I care for gets the individualized attention they deserve. My goal is to make sure they feel loved and safe in their own homes while you are away. I love to take them on walks, help groom and bathe them, make sure they are fed, help with medication if necessary and of course - play and give them lots of love. I can also just lay around with them if that’s more their speed. Whatever their needs, I’m here to help while you’re away! :) I can offer plenty of time to dedicate to your pet. I currently work from home three days a week and have a very flexible schedule, making it super easy to bring my work to the home I sit for and attend to your pet's needs. I spend my days off participating in volunteer work mostly in the mornings, but I always ensure to be back in time to take care of them. I am unable to board at my house but am more than willing to drop in or stay at yours :)- whatever makes you and your pet feel most comfortable! In both cases, I make sure to follow pet parents’ instructions very carefully. I will ensure that all areas that we are playing or walking in are either fenced in or they are always leashed. When I’m away, they can be crated if needed and I will ensure they are let out before I leave. Pets in my care are always supervised. I make sure to regularly check on them when things seem too quiet, and am attentive to food, water, and potty needs. I provide a comfortable and familiar environment for your pet, sticking to their regular routines. I also give lots of attention and love to keep them feeling safe and happy. After years of house sitting, I am also used to existing respectfully in someone else’s space. I am tidy and always try to make your home as clean as it was when you left before I leave. I am a quiet neighbor and will ensure that all doors are locked/security systems are set when needed. I make sure to stay in constant communication with you, sending updates and photos so you can feel at ease knowing your pet is in great hands!

About: I am an auntie of 2 fur babies one which requires special attention. I check his glucose levels and administer his insulin as needed 💙 Hi my name is Lily. A year ago my fur baby passed away 😔 Had my fur baby for 18 years and he passed away at home on hospice care. I am ready to provide care and love to other fury friends. Allow me to treat your fur babies as my own. I work remotely with flexible hours. It gives me the opportunity to spend time to play, take walks with your fur babies and to provide the attention they need. Please, let me know if your fur baby have any special needs I must attend to and any other information or instructions needed. Kindly, before dropping off your fur baby I ask they are clean. This will help to maintain a clean comfortable hygienic environment for all fur babies under my care. Thanks in advance for your understanding and cooperation. I am available on weekends and weekdays. Looking forward to caring for your fur babies 💞 I have a fenced yard and your fur babies will be taken care safely as my own. They will be attended at all times .

About: Hi there.. I have always owned a dog in my life. I have worked at an animal shelter for 2 1/2 years taking care of the dogs. I have been around most breeds and personality types. I am calm and patient around dogs and know how to read their body language. But I also love to be goofy and playful with them when the environment is right. I believe every dog is an individual and what might work for one dog won’t always work for another. I have some dog training under my belt from working with other trainers and taking classes but I’m not certified yet. If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to reach out! I am currently working part time at an animal shelter so I have plenty of time to dedicate to working with your pups! I currently only offer dog walking and stop ins but will eventually start boarding. I currently don’t offer boarding but I will eventually! At a client’s home I’ll make to gather all the details from the owner to ensure an easy transition for both them and their animals. The last thing I want is an owner to worry while they’re away! I’ll treat your animals like they’re my own.

“Our 2 cats were in great hands with Bridget while we were out of the country on our honeymoon. She was very responsive and sent several photos and updates on them every day that helped us feel at ease about our pets being alone for so long. We will definitely hire her again for any future trips out of town! :)”

About: I take pride in my work and strive to treat each and every animal I care for as I would my own personal pets. I personally understand how difficult it can be to trust someone with your furry family members and do my best to make the experience as amazing as possible for both pets and pet parents. I have worked in the pet care industry for over ten years now. I began dog walking in NYC, then managed a luxury boarding/daycare facility for dogs in East Syracuse. Since then I have also branched out into working in animal rescue as well. I also am currently pursuing a certification in dog training. I currently work for myself so my hours are flexible. I can accommodate dog walking most mornings, afternoons and nights. I currently offer in home boarding but limit it to three dogs per night to ensure the best quality of care. I understand that allowing someone into your home to care for your pet can be nerve racking, so I strive to be as mindful of this as possible. Some of the ways I ensure I do this are by speaking with the client before hand to go over anything specific they need done, entering the home in a safe and respectful manner, greeting the pet I'm caring for with enthusiasm, creating a bond with them & making the experience as fun and stress free as possible.

“We hired Kalyna for a home visit just to meet her and have her spend a little time getting to know our dog. Everything went great, and we hired her for a home visit next weekend. We look forward to working with her!”

About: I’ve had cats, dogs and many other animals my entire life and know how important it is that they get quality care and love! I have always cared for all other animals with love and attention as if they were my own whether they were strays or belonged to friends/family. I have dog-walked and pet-sat for friends and family whenever they have needed help, making sure their pets are well taken care of not just physically but emotionally (to the best of my ability!) while they are away. I have walked and pet-sat dogs of all kinds including puppies and senior dogs as well as disabled and special needs! I have also done feedings and general care for other animals including chickens, horses, goats, llamas, reptiles and others. Throughout my life I have rescued and/or taken care of a range of animals including kittens/cats, puppies/dogs, rabbits, chickens, raccoons, mice, opossums, birds, fish and reptiles. With many years of experience caring for animals, I am confident in my ability to provide attentive, compassionate care to your fur babies! I am available in the mornings and early afternoons for pet check-ins, walks, and other care needs. Additionally, I am available after 5pm on weekdays for any evening care, ensuring pets receive attention at the end of the day. I also offer overnight or weekend boarding, providing reliable care when owners are away. My flexible schedule allows me to tailor my services to meet the specific needs of pets and their owners, offering peace of mind and dependable support. When boarding pets in my home, I offer a safe and comfortable environment tailored to each pet's needs. Depending on the pet's temperament and preferences, I can either crate them for security or allow them to roam freely in a designated pet-friendly area. I ensure that they have plenty of space to play, rest, and feel at ease. I’m committed to maintaining a routine similar to what they’re used to at home, including feeding schedules, exercise, and personal attention. If needed, I can also provide extra care, such as administering medications or offering special accommodations for senior or special-needs pets. When caring for pets in the client’s home, I focus on maintaining a familiar and safe environment for them. I will follow the established routines for feeding, walking, and any other care instructions provided. Whether it’s keeping them indoors, ensuring they have outdoor playtime, or administering any medications, I approach each task with responsibility and attention to detail. My goal is to offer peace of mind to pet owners, knowing their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for in the comfort of their own home or mine.

About: I have always had animals in my house ranging from reptiles to kittens. Currently I have three dogs and two cats. Growing up with animals has taught me how to care for a wide range of breeds and temperaments. Along with caring for my own animals I regularly sit for family and friends. I also have worked in a pet store where I learned how to care for puppies and kittens properly in a wide range of breeds. Between caring for their health needs to how to properly groom certain breeds. I am excited to help with your pets needs! Pet care fits into my daily and weekly routine well. I work a flexible job remotely that allows me to step away from my computer as needed allowing me to care for your animals when needed! I will care for your pets with all the love and attention to detail. I have worked with dogs that are high energy and need long walks to older animals that simply need someone to hang out with. I will pay close attention to your details about how to care for your animal and also what your animal needs at the time.

“Mekenna was so helpful in checking on my cats while I was away. The communication prior to, during, and after my trip were all appreciated and left me feeling like my cats were well taken care of. Fully reccomend!”
