“We used Alyssa to help with our 1 year old pup for 2 days of daycare and 1 walk while we were skiing for a few days. Gus was completely tuckered out and had a great time playing with Alyssa’s puppy Simba. Alyssa was great at communicating and being flexible. Thank you!”

About: Since I was in Middle School, friends, family, and locals ask me take out, feed, play, and stay with their fur babies! I have watched dogs for 2 weeks at a time, a weekend, a night, and even just a drop in. I have experience with puppies, adult, and senior dogs, and will go out of my way to make sure they feel loved while their pawrents are away! I’m currently working full-time, so I have plenty of time after work to play and take care of your pets! Even with a full-time job, your fur baby will be unconditionally loved, as I love my own. I grew up walking and taking care of my own dogs, as well as friend’s and local’s dogs. I’ve never been without a dog. I’m committed to doing everything I can to keep your fur babies happy, as they will be doing the same for me!

About: Been taking care of animals since I was 8, grew up with a cat and then got 2 dogs and 2 cats. Adopted a puppy 2 years ago and have been helping raise her. I'm currently in school right now and just trying to make a little extra money. Can walk or feed in between classes or come over after classes for a bit. Growing up with dogs I am very comfortable walking a dog, and putting them in a create if needed. Also am ok playing outside with them.

About: I’ve been the go-to sitter for my sister’s and in-laws’ pups over the years. I’ve cared for my sister’s diabetic dog, following medication and feeding routines closely, and looked after my in-laws’ dogs while they were away on vacation—making sure they were walked, loved, and well cared for. I’m calm, reliable, and treat every dog like family. Whether your pup needs playtime, belly rubs, or a little extra medical attention, I’m here to help! Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. My schedule is flexible, allowing me to be available whenever needed, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends. I truly enjoy spending time with animals—whether it’s walking, feeding, playing, or simply keeping them company. I’m reliable, attentive, and committed to providing consistent, loving care tailored to each pet’s individual needs. Although I’m based in Granville, I also spend time in the Queensbury area and am happy to offer services in both locations and surrounding towns. When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow any instructions closely—whether it’s feeding times, walks, medications, or playtime—and make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I give them plenty of attention, keep their space clean, and send updates so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands. My goal is to treat your home with respect and your pet like family

“Brandy is now my Rover person of choice. She was early to pick up Sophie; gave her a fun yet rigorous workout. And, when she came back, Brandy ensured her paws were clean so she didn't track mud into the house. Sophie adores her as do we. She's the best.”

I’m available for boarding, daycare, at your house pet sitting, or occasional drop in feeding/walking on the weekdays or weekends! I have 100+ acres, tons of yard to allow dogs to run and burn off their energy. I have a three story home that the animals will love. I will take multiple different families dogs at once but will keep them separated if needed or if Any dog is not spayed or neutered. I will not take a non neutered and non spayed dog at the same time, unless dogs are from the same family and family allows this. I do have a 6 year old daughter that LOVES dogs and cats and all animals, therefore any dogs or cat that would be a danger or any sort to her, I will still accept, but need to keep them limited to our downstairs of our home only! The dog will have no interaction with anyone else BUT me! I will also except cats and dogs from different families. However if the cat or dog is not friendly with the other animal type, then they will be kept on separate floors of house during stay! I am very flexible and have lots of room. I will care for all animals, and make special arrangements for the ones whom need them. I am also comfortable giving any prescribed or over the counter medications to your pets - if directed to give to animal by you, the owner!

About: I’ve helped care for my friends dogs for years, and I’ve been with my Australian shepherd for over a year now. He would love to play with your dog while you need the night off :) I currently work part time, but live with roommates, so there are other people around to make sure your fur buddy gets the walks and potty breaks that they need :) My yard isn’t fenced, but if your dog is comfortable on a lead, my dog will be happy to tucker them out with some frisbee or just frolicking around.

“Colleen D is fantastic!!!! She cares for every need (and wants!!! LOL) my pooches Bella and Sophie have. She is reliable, caring, attentive and loves my dogs as if they were princesses and her own. She is always there for me even in short notice. I am extremely greatful for her attentive care, passion for animals and over all kind spirit. It comes without any reservation that I would wholeheartedly recommend Colleen for any type of care.”
