“TJ is wonderful! Punctual, responsible, communicative and I came home to happy little dog. Highly recommend, will definitely contact TJ again.”

“Sarah was great! We have a 4 month old pup that needs attention and care and Sarah was nothing short of amazing with him. She kept us updated and sent pictures throughout the day. Oscar took and instant liking to her. I have no reservations with leaving Oscar with Sarah and will most certainly be working with her again!”

About: Aside from growing up with two dogs throughout their puppy and elderly stages of life, I have lots of experience with animals that are not my own. I have a passion for caring for animals of all kinds—to the point where I consider the squirrels that come to my college dorm window my friends! I love helping out the pet owners in my community and often volunteer to watch dogs for free, just because I enjoy it. I have lots of experience with dogs that have special needs (i.e. injuries or medicine), and I take the responsibility of pet care seriously. I approach all animals with the same love and care as if they were my own, and i understand uniquely how worried we can get about our pets when we’re away. Part of my petsitting M.O. is frequent updates (especially photos) to give owners peace of mind. I have a special place in my heart for dogs, but am a lover of all animals and have experience with cats and bunnies as well. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friends! I am a college junior currently at home for summer break. I will be taking two vacations in the next few months, but other than that my schedule allows for extremely open and flexible hours! I approach all pets with gentleness and respect, and i make sure to provide ample time for them to get used to my presence before interactions. I follow instructions thoroughly, so detail there is always appreciated, and I like to be in consistent contact with owners in case there are questions, concerns, or updates. I understand strangers can be nerve wracking for pets and their parents, so I do my very best to earn trust and be patient!

“Shanna did a great job with my boys. I was able to focus on my surgery and recovery without worrying about Ashe and Smudgie. I would highly recommend her.”

About: I’ve had dogs and cats for the last 10 years, and my friends and neighbors have trusted me to walk and feed their pets too! I love cats and dogs of all kinds! I work Wednesday-Monday during the day so I can walk, feed, or play with pets in the afternoons and evenings or I can house sit overnight. I am used to high-energy dogs and cats that need someone to play with and get their energy out, or to take them for a long walk.

“We are grateful to Breanna for taking such good care of Skipper, and for communicating so well with us. It was great to have him in such good hands! And thanks for sending the photos! Much appreciated.”

“Brightynn was great! She took care of our home, and both our seeds senior and younger dogs for us!”

“This was our first time using Rover and we were definitely a bit nervous about it. It is difficult in this day and age to trust someone to stay in your home and care for your pets. We were away for a two week vacation and were in need of someone to watch our dogs during the week and stay overnight in our home. Lori came through for us in doing just that. We met her first for a meet and greet. After several messages back and forth, she reassured me that our dogs would be well cared for and they were. She is a true animal lover. Our dogs were safe in their home thanks to Lori and did not have to be stressed out in a kennel that was unfamiliar to them. I would highly recommend Lori for taking care of your pets.”

“Lexi watched my three pets, including an older special needs cat. Her communication was wonderful - great question, photos and updates, and just a cheerful confidence that helped me feel very comfortable leaving them in her care. They and the house were in great shape when I returned and I could tell the cats and dog were well cared for. Thank you so much!”

About: All I wanted was a dog growing up. I used to knock on neighbors doors and ask to walk/play with their dogs for free! My parents finally decided to get dogs (of course right when I leave for college) and I love them with all of my heart. Since I am at New Paltz for school, I miss my pets like crazy. I would love to get the opportunity to play with your pets and get to have puppy time away from home. I used to take my dogs on hikes and I miss it very much; I would love to take your dogs on pretty walks. I also have been a nanny and babysit often. I am very capable of taking care of someone. Since I am out of school, I am very free. I have a part-time job where I get to pick my hours, so I am very available. As a broke college student, I am very open to whatever you need. I also value nature and the outdoors very much, so adding a pup to the mix will be a bonus! As a loving pet owner, I very much understand the love and attention that is needed with caring for a pet. I am thoughtful and value rules, I take pet routines seriously. I understand that providing this service requires a lot of trust that I am willing to take time to prove.

“Jack was terrific with Imo; kept us updated and sent pics for the three days we were away. We returned home to a calm dog, excited to see us. Will definitely call on Jack again.”

Lee K.

“She was punctual and had great communication. We received nice updates as well as photos throughout the visit. We have already rebooked!”

About: Hi. My name is Kiki and I love dogs!! I have years of hands-on experience working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I was a manager at a cage-free dog daycare for 5 years, where I handled everything from group play supervision to administering medications and managing daily care routines. I also volunteered for 3 years at Second Chance Dog Rescue, helping with socialization, walking, and basic training. In addition, I’ve provided trusted pet sitting services in Peekskill, NY for 5 years until the family relocated. I’m trained in pet CPR, comfortable administering all types of medications, and have a dog of my own—so I truly understand how important it is to find someone reliable and compassionate to care for your pets. I have a car, am highly dependable, and treat every animal as if they were my own. Although I work full-time and attend school, I have large daily time blocks available between commitments, which I dedicate to pet sitting, walking, and drop-in visits I care for every pet like my own, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while following their regular routine, my skills are administering medications, and giving personalized attention. Every pet has a specific personality so I try to respect that much like people.

“Rose was amazing! She went above and beyond our expectations! Thankfully, she was available (fairly) short notice and worked with us every step of the way! She sent us pictures of Bolo everyday (to reassure my girlfriend) and kept bolo (who can have really bad separation anxiety) from freaking out. She also finished drying/folding our laundry for us! We really appreciate everything she did, and would 100000000% re-hire her/recommend her for whoever is looking for a dogsitter, walker or anything in between.”

“We are a third time client (for a long overseas vacation) and are very happy with Aliza’s care. We highly recommend and will be booking again the future!”

“We couldn’t be more thrilled with the care our dog Tazo received from Amruta. From the moment she arrived, it was clear that she had an amazing connection with Tazo. She was so attentive, playful, and loving towards him, making sure he feeling loved. We loved getting regular updates and pictures of Tazo, which gave us peace of mind throughout the day alleviating our own anxiety. One of the best moments was when we saw Tazo follow her out to her car, clearly wanting to go with her! It’s not every day that your dog forms such a strong bond with their sitter, and we’re so grateful for the time and care she gave him. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and loving for their pets!”

“Rachel was wonderful with our two pups! We really enjoyed working with her and meeting her own fur baby, Marty. Thanks for everything, Rachel!”

Amanda B.

“Leslie was fantastic! We felt so lucky to have found her to care for our pup (and our home!). She obviously was on top of the feedings, walkings, etc…but what we really valued was the love she gave our dog while we were away. We are always anxious to go away and leave our dog, but we’ll def. be a bit less anxious next time now that we’ve found Leslie!”

Glenn C.

“Jasmine was awesome! She kept us updated on how our dogs were doing and sent great photos. She was professional and left my house as she found it. Definitely going to book her again!”

About: I've been pet sitting since I was 11 years old, and every year I love my job more. I've looked after dogs, cats, hamsters, guinea pigs, fish and one delightful macaw, and each one I've fallen in love with like they were my own. I enjoy finding what makes every pet happy; does your dog need to sleep clutching her blanket or does your guinea pig brandish hay like it's a sword? No problem. Every animal is unique. I can't wait to meet yours! Important: I do not accept bookings without seeing the house / meeting you & your pets beforehand. This is both for my safety and for your pets’ safety. I am currently a college student, so I am most free on the weekends and nights after 6. Though I'm busy, please believe I will make every effort to be there for you and your pet if you need me. From May to August and mid December to late January, I am free almost all of the time. I do not care for pets in my own home, as there is not enough space, but if I am hired to care for a pet in your home, I will of course respect whatever rules you have for your space. Some clients prefer me to spend time at their houses and "make myself at home" as it were to keep their pet company; some prefer I only stick to my specific jobs. Whichever you prefer, that's completely fine.
