Pet Sitting in Arena

“Erin is kind and professional, and a great listener and communicator. She was prompt and my dogs absolutely loved her, including my anxious dog who is not quick to trust. Erin made sure to ask questions about their care which I highly appreciated.”

“Lindsay is a superstar! We’re so grateful for her dedicated care to our kitty while we were away. She came and met us in-person before the trip, and we all felt comfortable in her presence right away. It was clear she’s an animal-whisperer! We look forward to working with her again.”

About: I have a lot of hands on experience working with animals, working at an animal hospital. I know ways to introduce myself to your furry friends and the best ways to keep them comfortable when your not there. I am a hard working and reliable pet sitter who always puts animals first! I work 4 days a week and my schedule is flexible to make sitting work I always make sure your pet is watched at all times when I’m there. I always ensure dogs are on leash unless in a fenced in area and can crate pets when needed.

About: I’ve been a pet owner for 11 years. I work as a vet assistant. I am trained to read an animals body language and look for signs of distress. I am a very patient, caring, compassionate and empathetic individual. I genuinely enjoy meeting and caring for all types of animals, and I look forward to caring for yours! (: I do work full time, but otherwise I have open availability. I am willing to work around my schedule to help meet your needs (: I feed them, clean up after them, give them medication if needed, bathe them, walk them as often as needed. If your animal is on a schedule of any kind, it will be cared for accordingly.

“We cannot say enough of how Lucy has been there for us when we need a dog sitter. Lucy is incredible!!”

About: I have volunteered at a few animal shelters, including Pet's Alive in Middletown, NY. When I volunteered there, dogs were divided into green, yellow, and red. Green meaning that the dog was friendly and easier to handle, red meaning that only certain people could handle them, and yellow was a midway point. Throughout my time there, I was able to work my way up to yellow, which meant that I could work with the dogs that weren't always easy to handle. In my home life, I had a Treeing Walker Coonhound named Annie! We grew up together, and it often felt like she was my second sister. At a very young age, I had to learn how to safely walk a very strong, passionate, excited, and fast hound. Towards the last two years of her life, I made it my priority to make sure Annie was as comfortable as possible. This meant taking her outside often because of her incontinence, as well as helping her up the stairs if she needed help. Since then, I have looked after the dogs of many friends and family, and I'm excited to meet yours! I work from home, and I make my own schedule, so I'm very flexible! The only times I would most likely not be able to care for your pets in over night stays would be the day before a holiday and the holiday (example: Christmas Eve and Christmas.) For those who need a caretaker during odd hours that other caretakers may not be able to fill, my flexible schedule could definitely work! Above all else, I want you and your pets to feel comfortable, safe, and happy with me, so how I care for them depends on their personalities, what you can tell me about them, and what they need to be their healthiest self. I'm very patient and I love how unique all creatures on this earth are - I will have an absolute blast getting to know your furry pals! As much as I'd love to board, I have two cats who grew up with a dog when they were kittens, but it's been almost 7 years, and unfortunately, they have long since forgotten that dogs exist. To prevent confusing my cats, my care will primarily be at your house and property! I have always seen taking care of animals as a huge responsibility, and I genuinely do not take animal care lightly. I also take being in your home and property very seriously, because our homes should be a safe place for ourselves, our families, and our pets.

About: Taking care of animals is what I love to do. I’ve volunteered at the USPCA for two years, where I not only walked shelter dogs, but made sure they had enough social interaction. I’ve learned a lot with in the timespan of my experience and am confident I can care for your animal. I am currently enrolled in the vet tech program for suny ulster I’m currently working part time so I will be able to have plenty of time to play with your pups! I have a flexible schedule and will be able to adjust to your schedule I have two dogs at my house so I will only be taking overnight home sitting at the owners house. I will care for your pets as if they were mine. I love animals and can ensure you will they get a lot of attention.

About: Friend to all animals.✨ I have walked and dog-sat two pitbulls (ages: 2 and six months) on a weekly basis since the fall of 2022. My additional clients include mutts, a pug, a belgian shepherd, dobermans, and more, ages ranging 10 weeks - five years. I have stuck with some clients for over a year until their schedules changed or they moved, and with some dogs on a temporary basis. I am intent on working with the owners to adapt to their training methods for their fur-babies and enforcing those gently. Walks are enjoyable for both the dogs and me: I keep it lax and adapt to what they want in that moment. I’ve taken care of dogs, cats and fur-babies alike since I was 15, when I would dog-sit and walk for family friends. I’ve had varying dog sitting and cat sitting gigs (both day visits and overnights) since then, some of which included overnight stays. Pet care is great supplemental time with pets and additional income while I full work remotely. I am flexible to work with clients on their schedules/their adorable pets schedules. I am also available some nights and weekends. My top priority besides providing love, fun and stimulation to your pets is their safety: both for their sake and my own. Making sure that we discuss your yard set up especially your fencing, and indoor set up (do you have animal gates/baby gates set up, areas they’re not permitted in), etc. Communication is key and I would love to know what works for your animal: what boundaries are set and what they’re comfortable with.

“Thank you for hanging with Lewy! Communcation was awesome, all my animals were comfortable. I will definitely book again!”

“Amy was a wonderful sitter for our animals. We are so thankful for her help. She was very good at communicating with us while we were away so we knew everything was well at home.”

Elizabeth M.

“Alisa was absolutely fantastic with my dog, Tsubaki. She was incredibly kind, attentive, and clearly has a natural way with animals. After just one visit, Tsubaki was actually smiling when Alisa arrived for her next walk! I also hired Alisa for overnight sitting, and everything went smoothly. She kept me updated with pictures and messages, which gave me real peace of mind. I felt completely confident that Tsubaki was in great hands.”

About: I have had dogs since I was 2 months old! When I was 9, I started my first business as the neighborhood dog and cat walker/sitter/bather with my best friend. We kept the business going for 2 years. In my adult life I have rescued dogs, had cats and a whole litter of kittens, and currently have two dogs! Becky is 6 and Chaga is 1&1/2, they are the loves of our lives. They both love other dogs and cats. My partner and I both work from home most of the week and create our own schedules. We own our businesses, and they don't require us to be staring at a computer by any means. I frequently take breaks to take the dogs for walks, hikes, or out for a swim. Adding more dogs to our pack can be as seamless as possible. Our dogs have a very lavish life. Our furniture is their furniture. I am happy to adapt to whatever you want to be enforced! We have a nice big yard almost at the end of a dead end street, with very friendly dog neighbors. No traffic! Our dogs are generally pretty free range, and enjoy trail walks and games of fetch. I love a dog that can be off leash, but can of course keep them leashed as necessary. Our pups love cats, and cats are very much welcome in our home. Our younger pup is crate trained for when we are away for longer periods of time, so crate trained or not works for me!
