About: I have 2 dogs and 2 cats and have always loved to bond with animals. I also have a reactive dog so I have lots of experience handling dogs that need more specialized treatment. I’m currently working from home so it opens up my schedule more to help any animals who need a walk, a visit, or anything else! I would to come to your home where your pet is comfortable and provide the care they need. It’s important for them to connect with me in an environment that’s positive.

“Lisa has quickly developed a positive relationship with my dog, who is shy and can be reactive to new humans. Am sure as they spend more time together, she will firmly be in the "Sugar circle"! Very helpful.”

About: I have always had a special connection with dogs. I grew up with dogs and treated them like part of the family. I have been primarily working as a pet nanny for 5 years for someone who traveled to Europe on a monthly basis. They are staying in Europe indefinitely so I am looking to add some new clients. I can offer your dogs fun playtime and a sense of stability by caring for them in their own environment. I am also available for walks and drop in visits. I send pictures and updates daily. Your best friend will be spoiled and pampered with me. I have a very flexible schedule with plenty of availability as this is my main job. I can also do long term sitting up to 6 weeks if necessary. I am responsible and professional and respectful in your home. Besides caring for your pets, I am happy to pick up mail and water plants.

We added dogs, cats and then cows as i grew up. Currently I have 2 german shepherds and a corgi, 8 cats 2 parakeet’s and multiple fish tanks in the house and 125 sheep, hogs and chickens outside!! I have taken care of pets and live stock my whole life! I work for myself so have ability to be flexible in taking on other pet care. I am fortunate in that my husband can care for our animals if i meed to help with yours. My own dogs are crate trained. I will follow whatever routine your pet is used too. Usually carry a pocket full of biscuits to make friends easier.

About: I’ve grown up with cats and dogs and was responsible for caring for them from a young age. I can take your dog on long walks or give your cat plenty of social play time. I have a few free days that I’m looking to fill by walking and dropping in on my neighbors’ pets. Now that I don’t have a dog of my own anymore, I’m looking to satisfy my pup time fix. I have a friendly and social cat who is looking forward to making new friends. My house is clean and quiet and would be a great spot to host your pets.

About: I've had dogs of all ages all my life and think they are the 👌 👍 😍 🥰. I've boarded very senor dogs as well as young furry critters I'm a retired teacher so that I'm able to be free much of the time. I'm also a working artist and my studio is in my home. I have a bright house with a good sized fenced-in back yard. My home is near parks and conveniently located. The neighborhood is super-quiet with doggy friendly folk.

About: I offer drop-in visits, dog walking, and overnight house sitting for cats or dogs, and I’m happy to provide daily exercise, playtime, feeding, and medication support as needed. Whether your pet loves long walks, quiet companionship, or consistent routines, I tailor my care to fit their needs and personality. I grew up with mid-size dogs and frequently watched smaller dogs for family friends in Pittsburgh. After moving upstate, I became a devoted cat dad to my black cat, Lola, for three years. Since then, I’ve cared for cats of all ages, including seniors with specific feeding and medication schedules. I'm attentive and responsive to every animal’s unique rhythm. I currently work remotely as a freelancer, which gives me the flexibility to drop in or house-sit for quality time with your pets during the day. I enjoy staying active and love being outdoors—so your dog will always get a good walk (and a happy walking buddy!). For overnight stays, I treat every home and pet with the same respect and care I’d want for my own. I pride myself on being responsible, respectful, and kind—treating every home and animal as if they were my own. As a freelancer who works remotely, I have a flexible schedule that lets me give your pets the attention they deserve. I’m also available for house sitting and overnights provided there's stable wifi. I am a trustworthy house sitter/ walker who priotizes clear communication on expectations and house standards. I do not offer pet care from my own home.

About: From the moment I was born I was around animals, wild and domestic. My first dog was a 110+ pound Chow/Shepherd mix, she was very protective and territorial and took it upon herself to protect me and my sibling from any bullies on our street, from then on I've had a deer head rescue chihuahua named Prue she was my best friend, followed me everywhere, two 110+ pound Native American Shepherds, three cats one old named Milo, a very hyper and playful kitty name Cleo, a sweet loving sensitive tuxedo cat named Marley, a Terra fish named Ruby, a beautiful tropical bird named AU, two Guinea pigs named Opie and Didley, three turtles, one red eared slider named Jack, two painted turtles a big one named Perry and a smaller one I found named Damien, a black rescue lab named Jack Jack with a injured ear and no tail, a grey cat named Tom Tom who followed my fiance home from a fire station, a little apple head chihuahua corgi mix named Willow who was found in the streets of New Orleans after a flood, I've been around disabled animals my whole life, a cat who's tail was injured and had to be removed, a roudy white poodle mix who was born with half a paw, I've gone to interactive zoos and played with the animals, every animal I meet instantly loves me as I approach them with a warm welcoming energy and show them that we are on the same level, yet I'm dominant in training scenarios. Across my street lives 3 dogs and a cat named jerry, sweet pups Pablo, Matilda and Bailey, Bailey is an old paranoid shitzu with a therapy jacket that makes her more docile, if you're not in the sun rubbing her belly she can't see clearly and assumes you're a threat, so I approach her with loving speech and body language, Matilda is a very emotional rescue who is older and very docile and sad until she met Pablo a 1 year old puppy crossbreed, he keeps her young and spry, he has beautiful white teeth and hair, I am very interested in the upkeep of your animal's physical, emotional, environmental and mental wellbeing. I will pamper your loved ones to the highest degree while also showing them how to act in a strangers house without being scared, homesick, nervous or rowdy. :) I've been around all types of animals caged, untrained, unspayed in heat animals who need extra care and attention, I am exploring animal behaviors, training and pet sitting animals of all walks of life, I am also attempting to train the neighborhood Squirrells and chipmunks to eat food out of my hands and avoid the road, I know bird calls and how to attract owls, hawks, butterflies and most social animals. When I was young I hand fed a wild doe and Bambi as we called him, a calm baby deer. My father lives in the Catskill mountains and since birth I've played with, caterpillars, ants, daddy long legs, peepers, frogs, toads, tadpoles, and threw back all the fish my dad caught. I have a photo of my younger self in preschool approaching a praying mantis that had got into the classroom, all the kids were screaming and I'm seen holding and playing with him until I brought him back outside. All the bugs I find in my house I trap and release back into the wild including ants, spiders, stink bugs, bees, lady bugs, inch worms and more. I feel that all living things deserve respect and empathy. I am very interested in the upkeep of your animal's physical, emotional, environmental and mental wellbeing. I will pamper your loved ones to the highest degree while also showing them how to act appropriately in a sitter's house without becoming territorial, aggressive, homesick, nervous or rowdy. I love all animals and understand that just because they can't communicate verbally, doesn't mean they can't communicate. I have a home with energy balancing Buddhist symbols (laughing Buddha, energy cleansing aromas and a clean peaceful home for your animal's stay. I will interact with them the entire time and make sure all their needs and wants are met. I love caring for living things whether it be a baby or an ant, a wolf or a worm 🤣 I will take care of them to the fullest of my capabilities and make them comfortable. I can even help train them to not get separation anxiety when you leave home and become independent individuals who can care for themselves. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your pet's journey to happiness and healthiness. Love to all ❤️✨️

About: I have taken care of many a dog in my life, mostly my own or those of family, have cat sitted for many summers, and I have experience with both small and large dogs. I have potty trained and obedience trained dogs, I love to walk with dogs and I really love to teach new tricks. I'm a senior at Bard College looking to spend some more time with dogs as I'm missing my own! I am currently a Senior at Bard College and I also work in the Bard Admissions office, and play for their Women's Lacrosse team. That being said, I love animals and truly miss the comforts of having a dog. I have sporadic classes throughout weekdays with plenty of time in between classes to go for a walk with a dog, or go back to a house and hang out for a little while before I have to go back to class. Sometimes I have practice and games, but nothing makes me happier than spending time with a pet. I'm big on letting pets dictate their vibe! I have an active and excited cat so I love to play, or set up puzzles for some enrichment. But, also if a chill snuggle is the vibe for the day, that's great too!

“Took super good care of our pet and was able to accommodate us last minute, would definitely recommend!”

About: I’ve worked to socialize my friends’ formally aggressive dog. Additionally I’ve socialized a family friends’ pitbull by going on long hikes with two or three other dogs. I’ve also been pet sitting a neighbor’s dog whenever they go out of town. I’m currently not working any other jobs, so I’m available and flexible during week days. I am away from home on holidays and will not be in town for most weekends of July and August. I have a friendly dog who is down to play or to just sniff depending on what the other dog is like. I live in Woodstock, ny where there are many hiking trails, water holes, and fields to take dogs on a long walk. There is also a local dog park that I visit frequently.

“Linda was such a wonderful sitter for my little Lulu. Usually Lu is a bit crazy after I come back from a trip and she was calm as can be. I attribute that Linda’s warm presence as much as her care.”

“I'm a repeat customer, and I will continue to be. Tiffany is conscientious and caring, and I know that my beloved kitties are in good hands with her!”
