“Abby is very responsible and kept our two pups safe on their 2 day walks with her while my husband and I were not at home and working . She is very sweet and would be great caring for any size dog. We will be using her again :-) !”

About: I’ve taken care of puppies, senior dogs and cats. Given medications when required. Long dog walks, trips to dog parks, belly rubs, games, pup cups, a fenced in yard with sprinklers and a puppy pool during hot weather. I use the WoofTrax app to document walks send photos to owners. The cats get play time and cuddles and ear scratches to make them purring. I have taken care of my own pets as well as pets from friends and family. I am currently semi-retired and working from home. I love taking care of pets and provide a warm, friendly environment. I have a fenced in yard, my dog loves playing with other animals. I can go to your home if you prefer and I’ll bring the toys and treats to keep your pet happy.
About: A long time animal lover, I have 20 plus years of experience with dogs! I specialize in senior dogs. I can administer medication and am first aid certified! I am currently looking for long term employment, so my schedule during the week is very open. I care for my father every other Saturday. I have a fenced in yard, and a big comfy dog-friendly couch to lounge on! I have all the equipment necessary, including a crate that is sized for large dogs.
About: Looking for a cozy, home-like environment for your dog, whether it’s for the day or an extended stay? Look no further! I’ve been a lifelong pet lover, having cared for both dogs and cats. I’m also a proud volunteer with Home at Last Dog Rescue. My dachshund-beagle mix, Dixie, joined our family in 2020, and my beagle, Emily, was my very first foster fail! Our dogs love camping and exploring the great outdoors with us. Your dog will feel right at home in my fenced yard, a safe and fun space for running and playing. My senior pups will love having the extra company! I can’t wait to meet you and your furry friend! My home is perfect for extended stays! I’ll keep your pet on a consistent schedule to maintain their familiar routine. While I work in the office three days a week, your pet will be safe and comfortable, either relaxing in a crate or spending time with my dogs in a designated area of the house. I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs who will enjoy keeping your dog company. If you’re comfortable with crate training, your dog can use a crate for quiet time when needed. On the days I work from home, my dogs stay with me in the same room, and I make sure they get plenty of exercise with daily walks or zooming around the backyard. I also have a cat who tends to keep a low profile around new furry friends. However, if your dog enjoys chasing cats, my home may not be the best fit.

About: I had a dog as a child. I have had dogs for over 35 years. They are great company and a great addition to any family. I am retired. My time would be totally devoted to spending time with your pet(s). I look forward to giving you the comfort that your pets are well-cared for while you are not home. My pets at home are pretty spoiled. They are not crated and we play inside and outside. Whatever the owners require is what I will do. Unfortunately, my most recent dog died of cancer. I miss her; but look forward to taking good care of other people’s pets.
“I was initially nervous to get a dog walker, as I have never done so before. We did our Meet & Greet and Tim was so nice. My dog, Minnie, immediately liked him and when he came inside my cat, Nyx, came right up to him with his tail straight up in a "Hello" - which was a big surprise because Nyx doesn't normally like strangers! He was accommodating when it came to putting on Minnie's booties because of the weather. Overall, he exceeded my expectations and will happily have him as our walker again!”

“Sophia was great with our dog. She came on time and was very friendly. Our dog felt at ease right away. She was also flexible with our schedule. I would definitely contact her again!”

About: Animals are too good for humankind, so they should be treated like absolute royalty. I grew up with cats and had a small but successful dog-walking and pet-sitting business in my neighborhood growing up. I am more than happy to treat your pet as if they were my own <3 I currently work full time in Lake George and I'm looking for some additional income, and what better way to do that than to care for your pets! To make sure your pet feels as comfortable as possible while you are away, I would love to learn their typical routine at home and their interests!
About: I’ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember and have had both dogs and cats throughout my life. I’ve always had a love for animals and I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust to care for your pets while you’re away. While stationed in Germany, I regularly cared for the pets of military spouses and families. This gave me experience caring for cats and dogs of all ages and personalities! I also have experience caring for pets with specific needs, including dogs and cats that require medication. I’m very comfortable following detailed instructions from owners and making sure medications, routines, feeding schedules, and other care needs are handled properly. Most importantly, I know every pet is different & I always take the time to make sure they’re comfortable, while also giving them the same love, attention, and dependable care I would want for my own pets. I’m happy to work with you to schedule visits, walks, or other care based on what works best for you and your pet! I know consistency is important, so I always do my best to keep schedules as familiar and comfortable as possible while your pet is in my care. I want every pet I care for to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owner is away. Whether I’m caring for them in my home or yours, I’ll treat them like I would my own. I’m mindful about things like keeping doors secure, staying on top of feeding and medication schedules, and making sure they get plenty of attention. I’m also happy to send pictures and updates along the way so you can relax knowing your furry friend is in good hands.

“Ena was super responsive and very thorough before she came over to take our dogs for a walk. She took the best care of them and sent lots of cute pictures! Definitely going to book again.”

“Our dog LOVES Amanda’s visits. She is professional but friendly and genuinely cares about his welfare! We have had to reschedule our walks a few times and Amanda has always been so flexible about it. We are lucky to have her!”


About: After many years in the corporate world, I’ve chosen to spend more time doing something that has always brought me joy—caring for dogs. I understand that pets are family, and I treat every dog in my care with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. I provide dependable dog walking, drop-in visits, companionship, and personalized care based on your pup’s unique personality, routine, and needs.

I have over 30 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Throughout the years, I have cared for my own dogs as well as the dogs of family and friends. I am comfortable with feeding routines, administering basic medications, maintaining schedules, reinforcing training routines, and recognizing the importance of patience, consistency, and trust when caring for animals. I have recently stepped away from my full-time corporate career, which allows me to have a flexible schedule and dedicate meaningful time and attention to the pets I care for. I am available for daytime walks, drop-in visits, evening care, and weekend visits. My goal is to make sure your dog feels comfortable, exercised, loved, and cared for while you’re away. Since stepping away from my full-time corporate career, I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability to dedicate quality time to caring for your pets. I enjoy maintaining a balanced lifestyle, so I offer flexible scheduling for walks, drop-in visits, and pet companionship throughout the week, including many evenings and weekends. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. Whether caring for your dog in your home or during walks and visits, I follow your pet’s established routine, respect your home, and provide attentive, loving care. I take time to build trust with each dog, use secure leashes and safe walking practices, and ensure they receive plenty of exercise, affection, and companionship. I maintain open communication with pet parents and provide updates and photos so you can feel confident your furry family member is in caring and capable hands.

About: What sets me apart is my extensive experience with both energetic puppies and gentle senior pets. I am highly attentive to strict medication schedules, dietary needs, and behavioral training. I treat every animal with the patience, love, and dedicated care they truly deserve. I am currently starting my own art business so I will have plenty of time to take breaks and care for your dogs in any way. I have a dog—a Maltipoo named Sally. I also have experience caring for friends' and neighbors' pets while they were away on vacations and trips. When sitting, I strictly follow the owner's routine for feeding, walking, and playtime to ensure the pets feel safe and comfortable.
“Julianna is great with both of my dogs! one of my dogs is anxious around new people & it takes a bit to warm up to people but he warmed up to her almost immediately. Highly recommend especially if you have an anxious pup.”

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
