Dog sitters in Waterford, NY
Currently a semi-retired dog lover with 35 solid years of dog ownership. I currently have three. I'm willing to help with special needs, or your happy-go-lucky wiggle butt. Would consider folding your dog/s into my home for vacation/long-term pet sitting. I have references readily available.
Over the years I have dog sat plenty of times and I have experience with cat sitting as well as some small animals/reptiles.
