House Sitting in Waterford

“Lex was an excellent In-house sitter for our 4 pets while we were away for Christmas Holiday.She lovingly cared for our 2 little 10 yr old dogs and 2 cats that had never been apart from us .She sent updated pics and messages. She made 2 meet and greets prior to our scheduled booking just so the pets could get used to her.She left the house spotless! If it wasn’t for Lex, we could never had gone away for the Holiday. Our dogs are paper trained only and Lex kept up with that meticulously and cleaned the litter box regularly. We would highly recommend Lex to anyone needing a loving and nurturing pet sitter. She is very trust worthy to let stay in your home.Lex will be our go-to pet sitter again for sure!!”

“Jenna and Aiden were absolutely a dream! My dogs were well cared for. We came home to happy healthy dogs and a house in better shape than when we left. They absolutely went above and beyond. They gave us updates on the dogs with pictures. We will be using them again!”

“Michelle did a great job caring for our pup and home while we were away! She provided the perfect amount of updates. She was a trooper making sure Vera got enough exercise during a very rainy week. We will definitely ask Michelle to help us out again!”

“Linda was a wonderful sitter for our two hounds! She spent five days (and four nights) at our home to care for our fur babies while we were out of town. She took them for walks, fed them, gave them their medications, and played with them. She sent us updates with pictures multiple times a day, which we really appreciated too. We highly recommend Linda for anyone in the Albany/Troy area looking for a house & dog sitter!”

“Evelyn was fantastic with my senior dog, and pup that can be lazy and have spurts of energy. Additionally, she was great with our cats, giving very detailed updates throughout the trip. I really appreciated the level of care, the attention to details, and the extra mile she went to ensure a smooth trip for not only her but myself. Incredibly grateful to have found her!”

About: I’ve cared for families pets (dogs and cats), whenever needed. This includes walks, over night stays, baths, feeding, medication distribution and potty breaks. I’m a recent kitten-mom, so I’m well-versed in this area. I’m a work from home employee (Monday through Friday, from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.), so I’d love to spend time with your pet(s) during and after these hours. I enjoy going for long walks after work as well, so why do it alone! I follow all rules set by the client and will pick up all messes throughout my visit (from their pet). If their pet has a certain amount of times needed to be let out (at certain times), I follow that plan. This goes for all other orders!

“Shannon house sat my two pups for the day. She was on time, professional and even sent me pictures of them (and I didn’t even ask!). One of my dogs is deaf so it can be challenging finding sitters that we trust. 5/5 and will book her again.”

Katelyn G.

“Alyssa took good care of my dog upon a short notice while I was away, and sent photos regularly. The house was also spotless. She also coordinated dog food delivery since the food was out!”

“Leo was a great house and cat sitter! He was attentive to all our specific needs and would update us with photos and comments daily on how are two cats were doing. We would recommend him to anyone that needs a cat / house sitter.”

“Christina did a great job house sitting for us!! She took the time to ask and understand what our dog needed and what his daily routine was like. She is detailed in her updates throughout the stay and we were able to relax and enjoy our trip comfortable that she had everything under control. Highly recommend Christina for your pet sitting needs😃”

“Sarah is wonderful! She is communicative, she sent daily photos and texts while I was away. Eggsy was happy and safe when I returned home. 😊. Also, she is very respectful of my home, which I appreciate.”

About: I’ve taken care of my neighbor’s dogs for many years. I make sure to walk them every day with a balanced meal. I will bathe your dog if requested or as needed. I’m a recent college graduate so I’m available most of the week. I’m ready to devote myself to giving care to animals and I love spending time with them. I live in an apartment with my partner and our two cats so, I’ll only be able to provide services at the client’s house. I will take the dog on leash if there is no fence. I have worked in animal clinic in the kennel so I experience with crating dogs at night. I additionally love spending time with cats and will play with them. I like to meet cats where they are at and not push their boundaries.

About: I have pet sat on multiple occasions for friends and acquaintances alike since I was in undergrad. I have looked after dogs, cats, rabbits, and even goats! What makes me unique compared to other pet sitters is my 3.5 months of professional experience in an animal shelter setting — both with volunteering and handling animals. I had to complete training to work with the rescue dogs in the fall of 2024, where I learned techniques such as “Fancy Footwork” and “Click for Quiet.” Now I continue to implement what I was taught in my in-laws’s dog’s training. Additionally, as of March 2025, I've obtained a Fear Free Shelters Course certification, which specializes in recognizing animal behavior I do work an 8-4 in Voorheesville, NY Monday through Friday most weeks, but I do get time off for most federal holidays. I could petsit during a 3-day weekend (and on Election Day and Veterans Day) in addition to being available on Friday evenings and all day on Saturdays and Sundays I do have a rabbit, so to ensure his safety and comfort, I would have to come to your home if I were to house sit/petsit/dog walk. However, I do always see to it that every pet I'm watching's basic needs are met (they have food, water, they are not too hot or too cold, they can go outside/use their bathroom area, they're cleaned up after) and then some. When it's okay with the owner, sometimes I like to bring over a treat or a new toy for them. I would consider myself to be a novice dog handler, so it would be best if I didn't watch any reactive dogs (e.g. those who are leash reactive, dog reactive, noise reactive, or have stranger danger). I am familiar and comfortable with Labradors, Golden Retrievers, Doodle-mixes, French Bulldogs, Dachshunds, Great Danes and Shepherds. If your dog is a mixed-breed, that would not be a deal breaker for me. As long as they are friendly and show no aggression towards new people, I think we're going to have a great time!

“You're the best thanks again!”
