House Sitting in Annandale-on-Hudson

“Emily watched our dog Mouse for 16 days while we were halfway around the world. This was the longest we had ever been away from him and the farthest. We were a little nervous going into it but Emily made us feel so at ease. She sent updates every day usually multiple times a day. She would also tailor the timing of her updates to the timezone we were in which was much appreciated as well. We could tell Mouse was well taken care of and that she gave him a lot of love. We can’t wait to work with her again!”

“Jess is the perfect sitter - super communicative (frequently checking in and sending photos), responsible, responsive, and motivated to make sure your pets are well taken care of and happy. She instantly bonded with our Emma Jean and was so loving and thoughtful with her. Jess was also a wonderful guest, taking great care of our home. She made it possible for two (kinda anxious) pet parents to have a relaxing holiday - we are so grateful! Plus, she recognizes how truly adorable our pup is. :)”

“Emily was so great with our senior dog Willow! She house sat her for the weekend and did a fantastic job. She communicated clearly about everything, sent photos, and most importantly was able to give Willow the twice daily insulin shots she needs. I highly recommend working with Emily!”

“Regan did a wonderful job caring for my dog Daisy and my cat Eleanor. She did house sitting for the entire week if not longer while I was out of town. She maintained great communication and also was very perceptive about what the animals needed. Thank you, Regan. I look forward to working with you again”

“This was my second time booking Alina. She is very conscientious. This time my cat needed meds. My cat was very well taken care. Thanks Alina!”

“We had never used any pet sitting service before and felt very nervous about leaving our dog. From the very first meeting, Laianna put our minds at ease and made us feel very comfortable. She made sure to ask us all about Gracie and we could see that she connected with Gracie right away. Gracie has so much energy and demands a lot of attention but from all the pictures and videos Laianna sent, it was obvious she was well taken care of! Laianna is very reliable, trustworthy and great with animals. We will definitely use her again for any future travel plans.”

“Marielle did a great job petsitting my cat. He seemed content and happy when I got home. I would definitely have her pet sit again! Great experience.”

About: I specialize in attentive, stress-free cat care, with a deep understanding of feline behavior and needs. I’ve also cared for dogs and know how to ensure they feel safe, seen, and comfortable. My calm presence and attention to detail set me apart when it comes to compassionate, reliable pet care. My schedule allows for catering to all of a pet's needs: feeding, grooming, walking, playing and enrichment, medication administration, etc. I can also do multiple drop-ins per day/extended drop-ins for pets that need company throughout the day. I live in an apartment complex, so I would not be able to host your pet in my home, but I have reliable transportation and would love to come to you!

“Katherine was a lifesaver for our family. We had a last-minute trip and she did a wonderful job taking care of our 3 dogs, one of which tends to be a little skittish and shy. We received lots of photos and updates and she was respectful of the space. Highly recommend.”

Stephanie E.

“We are new to the area and hired Monica to house sit and watch our dog Penny. She offered to come meet us in person before booking, which was so generous. Monica was responsive, kind, and left us with so much confidence leaving her with our dog and home. She was flexible with arrival and departure time, sent us updates and photos, and we will continue to hire Monica again and again- what a gem!!!”

Courtney D.

“Riss was fantastic! I came home to my staff/pit mix being very relaxed and comfortable. It seems like he had a nice time with riss. She was very communicative and shared updates and photos. I highly recommend! Also, the house was spotless, that’s very much appreciated”

“Melissa sat with my dog Stella yesterday afternoon. She arrived on time, was loving and attentive to Stella and I felt totally confident that she would be able to handle any emergency that might arise. Also, Stella loved her! I wouldn’t hesitate to hire her again.”

Judith B.

“Shanna was awesome! She stepped in at the last minute and took really good care of our animals. Our dog Charlie is almost 16 years old and nearing the end of his life so he needs a lot of monitoring, attention and care. Before we met Shanna, we were really worried about leaving him, but were able to enjoy our trip away without worrying if he was okay. She managed his medications beautifully so he wasn't in pain. Rocky the cat took to her straight away and both of them were happy and relaxed when we returned. Shanna says she gives concierge service and she absolutely follows through!”

Sue L.

“Janice was so helpful during our last minute trip to Rhinebeck! My very anxious pup was left alone in a new place during a thunderstorm and Janice made sure he was as comfortable as possible. Wish I lived closer so I could utilize her services more often. Highly recommend!”

Melissa L.

“Emily is AMAZING and did a fabulous job house + pup sitting while we were out of town. Her warm and caring manner instantly won our pups over and they had a wonderful weekend together. Emily’s proactive communications both before and during her stay here were very reassuring and appreciated. Can’t say enough great things and hope to use Emily many times in the future!!”

Paula P.

“Cassie is wonderful! She was incredibly responsive and communicative while sitting my dog. I loved how she sent me multiple photos as requested and felt like my dog was in great hands.”

Regina A.

“Can’t say enough what a great experience it was with Gary and Paige. Our dogs were well-cared-for and Paige sent regular updates with photos several times per day while we were gone. Our dogs responded well and knowing that put us at ease. Paige even pulled a fallen part of a tree off of our fence and made sure the fence was secure. We look forward to having them care for our pups next time we are away.”

Camron W.

“Sam took care of our senior pitbull mix over the holidays. She did a great job! Our dog was recovering from surgery and had several restrictions that Sam handled professionally. We would gladly have her back to watch our pet in the future.”

About: Rhinebeck local with a 30 minute lunch break. Available for overnight in-home and/or dog walking services. Experience with giving oral medication. Big dogs and puppies welcome! Kitties and small animals, too! Minimal experience with reptiles (only leopard geckos) but I can watch them with care instructions. Generally I work early morning to early afternoon. No earlier than 5:30 and no later than 6:00 p.m. Weekends included. My days off are usually Tuesday or Wednesday or Thursday. There are some exceptions as my schedule varies week to week. But I can and frequently do work around customers' schedules, especially with advanced notice! I am diligent in keeping an eye on animals in the home. Especially puppies/potty training animals. When we are out taking a walk (for dogs) I will cross to the other side of the street and not greet other dogs, even if yours is friendly. Better to be safe than sorry! Same goes for dog parks. We can go, but I will keep a close eye on any animals and leave if things get too hot.

About: I’ve loved caring for various pets over the years. Growing up, I’ve been fortunate to be in a family that adores and cherishes our pets. We currently have 6 (3 dogs, 3 cats). Since I was about 15 years old, I’ve spent time helping family, friends, and neighbors with caring for their pets, including staying at their home to be with their fur babies. I have worked with large dogs (American Bulldogs, Pitbulls, etc.) and I have also dealt with small animals (Yorkies, Minidoodles, etc.). I love pets of all kind and would take great care of yours. My services can be dog sitting at your place, taking them for walks, feeding them, or even if you need someone to just visit them to make sure they are okay! I am currently working on my Master’s. My flexibility is open, aside from Thursday’s and Friday afternoons. Otherwise, I am available during weekdays and weekends at pretty much any time, as long as we plan in a reasonable time frame. I will provide services based on your preferences. As for dog walking, I would prefer your dog have a harness and rope leash as these have historically been the most durable for me. However, I’m not too picky and will adjust based on your pets usual care routines.
