“Thanks so much for watching my pepperoni while I was supporting a long work week 🥹 I think she really enjoyed the company! You were very punctual and kept me informed on anything you noticed as well as following all of my instructions. Will definitely be booking again in the future!”

About: I’ve done overnight and day visits with dogs and cats for years and do multiple days during the week now for a family member. I work well with large and small dogs. I am available Monday through Friday and have a very flexible class schedule so can easily fit in a visit with your pup! I am available for overnights every night as well! I have babysat for people who have both fenced and non fenced yards so I can easily work with leash using dogs. I myself have much experience with stubborn and large dogs on leashes so can handle tough pups!
About: I have many years of prices pet sitting experience as well as personal experience for my whole life. My family has always has dogs and cats as I was growing up! I absolutely love animals and would love to dog sit your furry friend! I am available every day of the week and almost any hour of the day! Open availability! I am doing some remote work that does not effect any pet sitting. I can crate your dog if you require that, but I am also comfortable with having your pup just roam and hang out! Let me know what you prefer and I can make that happen!
About: Friends and family members have trusted me to care for their furry loved ones for as long as I can remember. Our furry friends deserve just as much love and care as we do. I work from home three days out of the week, so I am able to care for pets during the day. I am also incredibly available throughout the weekends and each weeknight. I maintain a consistent daily routine for feeding, potty breaks, and playtime to keep pets feeling secure and comfortable. I keep clients updated with photos and updates on their pets' well-being, so they can feel confident that their furry friend is in good hands. I create a pet-friendly environment with plenty of space for pets to roam, play, and relax. I ensure all areas are pet-proofed and free from hazards. Pets receive lots of attention, playtime, and cuddles. I offer enrichment activities like toys and outdoor walks.
About: I've taken care of dogs of all shapes and sizes since I was a little kid. All the dogs growing up were considered "my dogs" by everyone else in the house. I currently have two well behaved dogs, a husky who enthusiastically learned to do basic tricks and a special needs staffie that is a certified couch potato. If your baby has a medication regimen, I can make sure it gets followed. We can be as lazy or active as your baby needs me to be. I also have extensive experience with cats and some experience with ball pythons. For now I'm working Sun-Wed as an Amazon driver but that's changing in March. I have plenty of time and attention to share Thurs-Sat though! I live in a complex with our own dog park, right next to an actual park! It's dog heaven here. I'm also used to walking all day, so if your dog is an adventurer we can walk for hours. I have two very friendly dogs and two...lets just call them tolerant...cats. I love just watching them go, so I am very engaged with the babies all day long. I'm good at following instructions and I can crate your pet as I come and go if you wish.
About: I am absolutely obsessed with cats and I feel like I do Rover more so because I love interacting with other cats. It’s not even a side hustle :) Should you need me, I’m reliable, efficient, caring, and will treat your cat like he or she is mine. I can also travel anywhere so just let me know whatever is needed. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine. I recently bought a house here in Albany, so it’s just me and my studies now — which means I have plenty of time and flexibility to devote to caring for your cats. As a law student, my classes are only on Mondays and Wednesdays, so the rest of the week I’m fully available to spend quality time making sure your cat (or cats!) get the love, attention, and care they need. In a client’s home, I focus on keeping your cat’s routine consistent and stress-free. That means fresh food and water on schedule, a clean litter box, and plenty of playtime and affection — whether that’s cuddles, brushing, or just quiet company if your cat prefers space. I always make sure to respect your home, follow your instructions closely, and send regular updates so you know your pet is happy and safe. If I’m welcoming a cat into my own home, I create a calm, cozy environment with safe spaces for them to explore or retreat to, depending on their personality. I treat every cat as if they were my own — with patience, attentiveness, and lots of love.
About: I've been taking care of a wide variety of animals for a long time. I have experience in all around basic boarding care for dogs, cats, and various reptiles and small animals; dog training basic obedience, fear or frustration aggression/reactivity, high drive dogs, and anxiety behaviors. Pet Care is not only an important part of my life, but it's a passion of mine. Caring for your animal like I do my own is what makes life rewarding for me. When your pet is with me it becomes a part of my family and is treated as such. I look forward to training or caring for your animals! I can train your dog in a multitude of ways. I work a lot of animals with anxiety and behavioral issues. I can easily crate your dog, cat or any other animal if needed. I have access to multiple fenced in yards for your pet to run around in and play. I have a fully trained purebred smooth collie who is extremely gentle and can make friends with anything. I have multiple rooms and spaces in order to accommodate your fur baby's needs. I pay attention to detail and carry out all care with the highest level of standards I can.
About: I love love dogs and cats and any animals. I will make sure your pets are very well taken care of ! I’ve watched plenty of dogs and cats before with the utmost care. I guarantee your pet will be safe in my care. I’m currently working part time on the weekend and a full time college student!

Any requests I will happily take into consideration such as if you need me to crate , wash , etc your pet.
“Were hired Michelle for a series of weekly walks with our two dogs, and she took such great care of them! She was reliable, trustworthy, and attentive to our girls’ needs. Would highly recommend.”

About: I have taken care of all animals from hamsters to cows! I also have administered basic veterinary care including medicine, shots and IVs. I am in my junior year of college doing Animal Science BS and Biotechnology AAS. I am good with any and all animals and can provide lots of play or chill pets! I am a really flexible person.

About: I have been surrounded by dogs ever since I was born and have cared for all dog breeds in the past. I truly love the companionship I've built with my animals and would give the same to yours. I am able to care for your dogs in the early mornings and late afternoon to late evenings, I guarantee walking them frequently as it is a part of my daily routine. I love being outside as well and am very active so I’m great with high energy pets! Often I take my mom's dogs outside a few times a day. First thing in the morning is the best time to feed and walk them so they get some sunshine. Mid-day I let them go out for lunch in a fenced-in backyard, and feed them dinner by the evening. I will also take them for walks before sundown and ensure they are comfortable before bed. I have watched many of neighbors pets and boarded animals in the past.
About: I have had a dog in my house since I was 5! I always took responsibility of our family pets and made sure they were fed and had water and would take our dog on walks/play fetch. I’ve taken care of a few month old puppies and senior dogs! I recently graduated from college and am currently studying for my board exam, which gives me plenty of free time and a very flexible schedule. I'm available and ready to give your pets the attention and care they deserve! I’ll make sure your pet gets the care and attention they need—whether that means walking your dog around the neighborhood (and cleaning up after them) or spending quality time with your cat through play and companionship. Please let me know what kinds of activities your pet enjoys—like fetch, tug-of-war, feather toys, or just quiet cuddle time—so I can adapt to their unique personality and routine.
About: I have been New York certified teacher for 29 years! I love taking care of children and pets. I am intelligent, caring, and very creative! I have been caring for pets my entire life. I will make sure that your pet is given attention and love. My work day hours are from 8-3. I am a middle school Science teacher. Currently, I am available after 3:00pm and on weekends but at the end of June, I will be available anytime during the day. I have July and August off. I will make sure that your pet is safe at all times. I have two dogs of my own, so I would prefer to only care for pets at the clients home. I currently do drop in visits for one client and I always send her pictures and at least two videos during my drop in visit.
