Dog Sitting in Wynantskill

About: I am not currently working so I have all the time in the world to dedicate to the pups! In general I'm quite flexible, I like to fly by the seat of my pants. Within the past 9 years my brother got a Basset Hound, (who has since passed), my parents got a German Shepherd, (who has since passed), and I got a Shepherd/Hound rescue pup. Man so I miss having pup around! I've quickly become the dog sitter because I like dogs more than people! I am very comfortable with big dogs and open to working with smaller dogs. I love taking long walks with the pups. If the dog is willing I love to teach them new things! I have all of the patience in the world for dogs. They are and will always be my number one priority at all times. I will respect and follow any rules or guidelines you have knowing full well how much work goes into training and wouldn't want to cause any set backs. I'm a stay at home mom of a 5 year boy. He goes everywhere with me and is also amazing with dogs. So if your dog just needs some company or a nice walk, I'm your girl! I care for any pet as if it were my own. Any specific directions given to me will be followed to a "T". I know how important pets are and I treat them as such.

“Very friendly and great with our kitties! Let me know when she was heading over a followed up with several pictures, as well as what she did. Would hire again!!”

“Jessica was very good and attentive to our cats, and I loved her flexibility to adjust the booking as we went. I will definitely use her for future pet sitting needs!!”

“Suzanne did an excellent job with drop-in visits for my 2 kitties! She sent photos & updates each day which was terrific & greatly appreciated. My security system showed her arriving at my requested times which was important to me. Our meet & greet, prior to her pet sitting for me, went extremely well and I felt very confident leaving my kitties in her care. I gave her a cash tip at that time. My kitties do not like being boarded and were much happier being at home. I was so impressed with Suzanne's caring and friendly attitude that I will hire her for all my future getaways. Thank you, Suzanne!!”

“Very professional! I did not have time to meet her in person before the holiday, but she was very pleasant and kind over a video chat! She kept my little kitty very happy and I am glad to have booked her”

Owen P.

“Debra was an excellent caretaker of our pet rabbit. She was reliable and attentive to her needs. She kept me updated while we were away to let me know everything was going well. I will definitely try to book her again the next time we are away!”

Jennifer C.

“Amanda is the best! She took such good care of my kitty Cloud. If I ever need a sitter again I will definitely be going to her. I was iffy on trusting this app with my cat because of my other friend’s previous experiences. However, Amanda is just a top tier sitter.”

Halle P.

“Jose did an amazing job with Marley! I was able to leave an entire week without having to worry once. Was always on time and walked my dog to the park every time. Marley loved Jose, so much so Marley was playing fetch with sticks which I’ve never seen him do! Jose also took amazing pictures at every check in”

Mason H.

“Meg has been walking my dog and doing check ins while I'm away for a couple of months now. She is very reliable, a good communicator, and always makes sure he is taken care of.”

Torri R.

“Barbara was extremely great with my 2 cats. They usually aren’t friendly and like to hide but they warmed up to her! You can tell she really cares! I’ll definitely rebook for my next vacation!”

Cesia R.

About: I grew up always having a dog. I know how special they can be and the attention they deserve. I'm always happy to help pups get the best care possible. I have many free days to devote to pets. I am available on short notice and always happy to help out to make things easier on your animals. I have experience with dogs that roam the house as well as crate training. I also know how to handle an invisible fence versus a solid one as well as leads.

About: Passionate about providing exceptional care for animals, I bring a wealth of personal experience to pet sitting. My journey began with volunteering at an animal shelter during high school, fostering a deep understanding of their needs. This continued through college where I had the joy of caring for multiple dogs. More recently, I've cherished the experience of playing with and helping to socialize my sister's puppies as they've grown. I'm dedicated to ensuring your pets are happy, safe, and well-cared for while you're away. Even with a full-time schedule, I prioritize staying active and am proactive in planning my day. This allows me to reliably schedule dog walks or check-in visits to fit your needs. I'm happy to work with your schedule to find convenient times for these services. My active lifestyle means I'm always looking for opportunities to get moving, and walking a dog would be a perfect fit. For boarding, I believe in taking the time to get to know your pet through a couple of initial meetings. This ensures I can understand their personality and routine, allowing me to thoughtfully incorporate their care into my daily life and provide the best possible experience. Because every pet is unique, my primary focus when caring for your animals in your home is to adapt to their individual needs and your specific preferences. I will prioritize clear and open communication with you to fully understand your pet's routine, personality, and any special requirements. This includes everything from feeding and watering to playtime and affection. I am happy to provide exercise and fun in my fenced yard under careful supervision, offering a safe space for them to stretch their legs. If you prefer or if it's part of your pet's routine, I am also comfortable with using cages or designated areas within your home. My aim is to seamlessly integrate into your pet's life while you're away, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and well-cared for according to your exact wishes.

“Reggie performed his responsibilities exactly as directed. Prompt and dependable. Recommended for your check-in needs.”

“Christina went above and beyond for our kitties! She was extremely responsive, took great pictures, and our kitties seemed to love her. Thanks again!”

“This was our first experience using Rover so I was a bit nervous. I contacted Julia and she came over for a meet and greet a few days ahead of time. She took excellent care of our two cats who are older and cranky at times. Julia was great! I loved getting the updates and pictures after each visit. That totally put my mind at ease. I would not hesitate to hire her again! Very happy customer!”

About: Hi! My name is Katie, and I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life. Growing up on a duck farm, I developed a deep love for animals and an innate understanding of their needs. I currently have 2 pets in my home that I share with my boyfriend; a cat I adopted 6 years ago, and a 3 year old dog who I’ve raised since he was 10 weeks old. We’re both experienced with dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. We have a large group of friends with a collective total of 7 dogs. We frequently watch our friends dogs, whether it be for a weekend away, or extended multi-week trips. Our dog, Keene, is extremely social and has an excellent understanding of boundaries when it comes to both cats and dogs. My boyfriend, Sushil, and I both currently work full time, Monday to Friday. My schedule can be flexible if your pet needs more frequent care, but we prefer pets who can withstand 8 hours alone during the work week. During the evening and weekends, you can find us at home enjoying our beautiful fenced-in back yard, or out in nature on a trail, in the mountains, or on a lake. We have a fenced in backyard and gates available if dogs need to be separated. Additionally, our dog is extremely social and is great with doggy-social cues. Your dog will always be supervised when with other dogs. We prefer dogs that are crate trained and can be crated when we’re at work to keep both your pet and our pets safe!

“Elizabeth did a great job with my kitty. She was able to be flexible when my plans changed a bit, communicated promptly throughout the process (this was my first time booking through Rover) I will definitely be contacting her again for future visits.”
