“Gillian took fantastic care of Bella for me while I was away. You can tell she really loves animals and has experience so you feel at ease with you pet in her care. I’d absolutely have her walk/feed Bella again for me and recommend her services anyone!l”
About: I have several years experience caring for dogs of all sizes, as well as small animals and exotics. Worked for a couple years at a dog daycare/ boarding facility. I foster dogs with medical and behavioral issues so I’ve seen it all. (Currently taking a break from fostering so I have room to board dogs) I’m home full time right now! I may go out for a couple hours for dog walking, but other than that someone is always here. We have a spare room if they need their own space. We have lots of experience fostering and crate/ rotate. We always make sure to spend equal quality time with each dog. If I am caring for your pets at your home I will spend the night there with them.
“Arin is a wonderful pet sitter who cared for our puppy Rex. From the first moment when we met her, we had a great first impression. Arin took the time to get to know Rex before her visit and was patient and playful with him and provided us with photo updates of her time with Rex. My husband and I are so glad we found her on the Rover app, which by the way was our first time using it. We will continue to work with her and will also recommend her to anyone who is looking for a Dog Friendly Sitter.”
“My dog gets sooo excited when I tell her Karina is coming over! She loves Karina so much! I am disabled and she is a a Godsend to me helping me care for my dog! Thank you! 💝”
“Jack was awesome with my two dogs! He is very knowledgeable with his training background and offered great tips for training with my puppy. My boys were in great hands. Totally recommend!”
About: I have 3 pups that mean the world to me, but still miss my #1 boy that sadly passed away to an autoimmune disease. I have experience with puppies having raised all 4 from just a couple months and puppy training With Parker getting sick I also have experience giving medicine and taking care of elderly dogs. I understand each one has their different needs and aim to give them as much love while they're in my care. I currently work overnights so I'm free the rest of the day after 9 am. When I get home I take the pups out and feed them. They get treats for finishing their food and then it's playtime! I have plenty of space for pups to run around and live down the road from a dog park that's usually pretty empty. I also take the pups to a trail nearby that leaves them tired out.
About: I have always been around dogs and started out caring for the family dog before adopting my own fur baby. Over the years I’ve looked after many friends & family members dogs and truly believe a house becomes a home with furry friends around! Both my husband and myself are home during the day so your pup will have plenty of opportunities to hang outside and go for walks. I have a fenced in backyard where my dog enjoys sunbathing and attempting to catch squirrels and rabbits. I can easily crate your dog or allow them to snooze on a bed, depending on what you are comfortable with.

I think you dog will enjoy being in my care. If you need to communicate during the stay please feel free to contact me. I will be happy to send pictures of your pet. I k ow this will put you and your pet at ease with the stay.
“Our dog has special medical needs so we can’t trust just anyone with her care. Rachelle made us feel comfortable right away and our dog loved her. We will definitely be using her when I go back to work in the office.”
About: I’ve had dogs since I was eight, and routinely help my mom with her foster care clinic, housing dogs with fosters and taking in new fosters as they come through. I’ve taken care of puppies all the way to senior dogs with medical complications. I’m currently working in Albany and Troy, and have a semi-flexible schedule to take care of your pets as needed. I do generally work weekends, but I can usually modify my hours if needed. Staying in your home means I treat it as if it were my own, with care and respect to leave everything better than I found it. I want to make sure your pet feels the least amount of change possible, and will adhere to the schedule you outline.
“Lianna was wonderful! I knew my fur baby was being well taken care of. She knew I was anxious leaving my baby so she sent me multiple pictures of every outing so I could see how Tessie was? She was prompt, fed Tessie and made sure she took her medicine everyday for her chronic condition. I highly recommend Lianna if you are in need of pet sitter/walker. I have already booked her again for my next out of town trip when I cannot take my baby.”

About: First time clients can use the promo code below for a discount on your first booking. DAWNA60239 My profile: https://www.rover.com/sit/dawna60239 I have taken care of dogs since I was in my early teens. In addition, through the years, I have also been a pet parent to a horse, guinea pigs, hermit crabs, tropical fish, goldfish, and hamsters. Family and friends routinely ask me for pet care advice since I have had pets for so many years and trained my own puppies through self teaching. I also have experience administering medications. I care for my own four dogs on a daily basis ranging in age from 3 to 17 and have raised them from puppies. We have play time and snuggle time at different times each day. There is plenty of extra time and love each day to care for your fur baby too. I have a fenced yard on just under 1/2 acre, and my four dogs love to romp and play which is part of their daily routine. They also love long walks or going for a car ride. They are all crate trained and feel that their crate is their special place, so the doors are always open for them to have their alone/rest time when they want to after play time (if they are not trying to claim a spot on the couch or in the recliner). One especially likes the couch and the others love to sleep in bed at night.
About: I’ve pet sit for neighbors and friends since high school and always had a great time. I can be patient and am good with giving medications if required. I am planning on doing this part time while doing college online so my schedule is very flexible. I would also be open to doing weekly appointments. I typically try to be minimally invasive when I pet sit at others home and follow the directions left to me. I always try to get a dog I’m sitting for out every two hours unless otherwise told.

Whether it’s feeding, walking, playtime, or just some extra love and attention, I treat every pet like they’re my own. I have experience with dogs of all ages—from energetic puppies to senior pups who need a little extra care. Your pet’s happiness and well-being are my top priorities, and I’d love to help while you’re away! I work a full time job in Saratoga Springs, however I have flexible work from home hours and work from home every Friday! I also am available during my lunch from 12-1. Message me and we can figure out a schedule so your pet is never left alone! In both my home and my client’s home, I prioritize making pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved.

About: I love spending time with pets. I previously worked with dogs at a doggy day care for a couple of years while I was in college, and volunteered at a local animal shelter caring for both dogs and cats. I am comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes, and I especially love the shy/nervous dogs! I will follow any guidelines you set for your pet’s care, and provide a thorough update with lots of pics. If you are looking for someone you can trust to take care of your pet, I would love to meet your pet! Please set up a meet and greet today. I work Monday thru Thursday full time, and work mornings on Friday, so my availability is limited to Fridays and weekends. Fridays and Sundays are the best days to do meet and greets on, usually during late morning or early afternoon, but I can be flexible if needed.

I don’t mind following any guidelines for how you want me to care for your pet and will respect your house rules.

Her genuine adoration for our furry friends extends beyond a profession—it's a heartfelt calling. Not only does she possess a natural knack for understanding their needs, but her dedication to ensuring their happiness and well-being is truly admirable.

Her own fur baby is a testament to her nurturing nature; the bond they share reflects her unwavering commitment and affection. With Emily, you're not just entrusting your pets to a caregiver; you're welcoming someone who cherishes and values each animal as if they were her own.
