“Great communication & service. I was in a terrible predicament &;Heather was great & alleviated a lot of stress. My dog is a great judge of character & he took to Heather immediately. Highly recommend”


“Eleanor is wonderful! She has been dog walking my pup for the past few weeks and she is super responsive and reliable! Will definitely be rebooking with her.”


“Elena was wonderful. She was kind and patient and kind with Emmie who is sometimes challenging to walk since she gets so excited. I would definitely use Elena again if I have a need.”


About: I’ve had 1-2 cats for the last 20 years. Since my husband is strictly a cat person, I got my doggy fix by volunteering at an animal shelter in NYC for years, where I walked dogs of all sizes and helped both dogs and cats find homes. I currently have 2 cats of my own that I have to give oral medication to regularly. I also have 1 human puppy with endless amounts of energy! I work from home. The workdays are pretty busy lately but I am available most weekends and Fridays if you need someone to drop by and care for your pets! My goal is to help your pets feel comfortable with me, which in turn will hopefully help you feel more comfortable being away from them.

“I highly recommend Miranda. I have a slow to warm up quirky dog. She took the time for him to feel comfortable with her before taking him out. She has been a reliable & excellent dog walker.”


About: I and and my partner Olesia are huge dogs lovers. Olesia taking care for 7 years of Bullmastiff. We want to give the dog best time full of joy, and playfullness. Both of us are very responsible. Serhii currently works part-time as a lecturer, so he is looking forward to spending time with your pups. Olesia is doing her MFA study, and adore long walks in parks. Serhii is free most of the week, and his schedule is flexible. We live in the one bedroom appartment with a lot of space, and our pan backyard. The pet will have their own dog bed and be safe in our house.

“Amanda was great! She was on time and made sure to update me on my pup. Amanda was easy to work with and helped me out last minute ! Will definitely be booking her again in future (:”


About: I have been taking care of my neighbors, family, friends, and my own dog/pets for 10 years including walks, feeding, watching, and helping train. I have experience with puppies and older dogs as well as injured or sick dogs. I am currently in a local college for health care. I am free all day Saturday-Monday and after 3 Tuesday-Friday. I have transportation and can drive a reasonable distance. I would follow any rules you have set for your dog (ex. food allowed, walking requirements, type of leash/collar for walks, and if they need to be crated or not) I would be able and willing to provide any medical care needed as long as I am shown how to correctly.

“Glen is amazing! My dog, Bruce Lee, absolutely loves them. They’re reliable, caring, and always send updates and photos. I trust them completely, and it’s clear they genuinely love what they do. Highly recommend!”


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 had pets my entire life and have been active in their care since early on. I have personal experience taking care of dogs, cats, bunnies, and rodents throughout my life. I've dog and cat sat (daily check-ins and overnight stays) for several people in my life over the years, including my close friends, coworkers, and bosses. I have recent experience with taking care of and aiding senior pets in their daily routine and have no issue administering medication as instructed by their veterinarians/owners. In addition, I have no issue maintaining consistency in training and providing mental stimulation for younger pets. I know that younger animals are learning and that they need time to process requests. I understand that pets can be unique in their behaviors and that their owners know them best. It's important to me to make sure pets are well taken care of and comfortable in their lives - and that can look different for different pets and owners. I'm a research-focused graduate student with a more flexible schedule than most, so I can visit multiple times throughout the day and night. I have my own car so I can easily travel to clients' homes and have seat-belt attachments to travel with animals in the car as well if the need arrises. I strive to keep things as consistent and predictable as possible, maintaining a pet's schedule as laid out by the owner. I've used a variety of leashes and feeding schedules over the years and find that it really depends on the dog/owner on which one works best. For example, my dog Wiggles likes to graze so she has access to food around the clock, but when I take care of my brother's dogs, they require a more structured feeding schedule that I adhere to for them.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong pet owner with hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, birds, and fish. I understand that every pet has unique needs whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or quiet companionship. I’m here to provide safe, loving care while you’re away, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pets are in good hands. I work Monday–Friday, 8 AM to 5 PM, but I’m flexible and happy to accommodate pet visits before work, during lunch, after work, and before bedtime. I also offer overnight stays for pets who need extra company and care while you’re away. Whether your pet needs a walk, a cuddle, medication, or just some playtime, I’ll make sure they’re well cared for I believe every pet is unique, and I’m here to provide personalized care based on their needs and personalities. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, birds, and fish, and I’m comfortable with all life stages from playful puppies and kittens to senior pets who need a little extra TLC. I can help with: - Walks, playtime, and exercise - Feeding routines and fresh water - Litter box and habitat cleaning - Administering medication (including injections like insulin) - Overnight stays and companionship - Special care for shy, senior, or special-needs pets. Whether your pet is energetic, independent, or in need of medical support, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I have 1 dog that is a golden retriever. I’ve had pets all my life and love taking care of them. I will walk, pet and give plenty belly rubs as needed. My schedule is pretty flexible. Ask me and I can accommodate. I am free most mornings and evenings. Let me know if you need any adjustments I offer overnight boarding and allow pets to sleep in the bed, on the couch or a crate. (You tell me how you want sleep!)

About: I have experience caring for many types of pets and through their many circumstances from puppyhood, elderly, disabled pets, pets in heat or through pregnancy, special needs, and more. I have a roommate and between the both of us someone is home 90% of the time. In the mornings, Im often taking hikes and walks and would love to bring your puppy along. I’m in walking-distance of two large parks. I also have cameras on the outside as well as the inside of my home. If a car ride is needed, I have a seat belt designed to connect to your pets collar or harness!

About: I’ve always had a love for animals - and especially cats! I grew up volunteering at animal shelters, working to help socialize both cats and dogs to help them get adopted faster. I started formally cat sitting for friends a few years ago, and it has revitalized my love for taking care of animals. It would be a pleasure to help you with your pet fam! I currently work part time in downtown albany. I will mostly be available afternoons and weekends. I love to go on walks or cozy up with my favorite book. I’d love to have a fur baby join me in these activities! In my experience with cat/dog sitting, I am used to preparing meals, cleaning litter boxes, going on walks, changing water, and play time- in addition to never ending head scratches and belly rubs!
