“She was great was able to take care of my baby. Communicated and sent pictures.. let me know how his poop was when I asked. When I picked him up he was great no issues. Extremely great would highly recommend and would use again.”


“I couldn't be happier with Janice as Gus's dog sitter! She's incredibly accommodating when it comes to drop-off and pick-up times, which is a huge relief for me. Gus absolutely loves spending time with her. I can tell he feels safe and happy in her care. She makes sure he gets plenty of playtime and snuggles, and he always comes home tired and content. I highly recommend Janice if you're looking for a reliable and loving dog sitter”


“Abbey was a wonderful host! She was prompt in returning my messages and really sweet to our dog that has separation anxiety and isn't able to stay alone. She was understanding and flexible when we had to shift the drop off time and change the arrangements for pickup. Will definitely ask Abbey to watch our dog again in the future!”


“We felt really comfortable and safe leaving Aloo with Jeanette. Got consistent updates and pictures over the weekend. Very happy with Jeanette and will re-book ahain.”


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.

“I cannot recommend Stephen enough. He took amazing care of our Buddy while we were away. He communicated and sent us videos and updates every day. He was cautious when introducing Buddy to the other dogs in his care and we had a meet and greet prior to the stay which I appreciate, he goes above and beyond to make sure the dogs in his care are compatible to keep all dogs safe. I look forward to using him in the future and I know Buddy will too. You can see that dogs in Stephens care are treated as his own and that is so comforting when leaving your dog in his care.”


“I ran to rover in a panic when my plans fell through, Lena was right there and ready to help! This was my first time using rover and Lena made it such a pleasant experience. My babies were so happy! Constant, thoroughly detailed updates followed by tons of happy photos really showed how well they were doing and the detailed care and consideration Lena has for your pets. I can not recommend her enough and will definitely be back! Thank you so much!”


“We left our pup with Rebecca for a long weekend and he had a great time! She sent lots of pictures and updates and clearly showered him with love all weekend. Would definitely book again! Thanks Rebecca!”

“Was so happy to find someone to take care of our dog during a holiday, and we felt better knowing he was safe with Mario! We did a doggie day care day with him in advance so they could get to know each other, and our dog was excited to see Mario when we dropped him off for an overnight! We received updates during the stay also. Would definitely recommend Mario and will book him again for future dog watching needs!”



“My two dogs loved their visit with Cynthia and Eli and their dog Max.They were very gracious hosts, kind and attentive, kept me informed, and shared photos. True dog lovers. I was able to relax and enjoy my visit with family knowing my "kids" were in good hands.Highly recommended. I also feel fortunate to have met two very good people, and do intend to remain in touch. Dawn D.”



“We were first time Rover users and were very nervous. Beth and Ron sent updates and lots of pics, of both leisure time and play time (glad Sophie Belle had their two dogs as friends for the week). Sophie Belle was kept cool and comfortable, like a princess, during the heat wave, too! Thank you, Beth and Ron!”


About: Hi! I’m Kristy, and I’ve been working with animals professionally for 7+ years in a wide range of roles. I’m passionate about creating a safe, loving environment where your pets feel at ease, whether they’re outgoing or a little shy. ⸻ 🐾 My Experience I’ve worked with all breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments, including: • Senior dogs, nervous pups, and those with anxiety • Dogs with medical needs, including insulin and oral medications • Puppies, rescues, and special-needs animals My background includes: • Private pet sitting and working for a local pet care company • Boarding facility manager • Animal rescue manager • Cat sanctuary attendant • Fostered 25+ animals — I have a soft spot for seniors! I always use positive reinforcement only and prioritize building trust and comfort. ⸻ 🏡 Boarding Info I offer limited, discounted boarding for dogs who meet the following criteria: • Under 30 lbs, spayed/neutered • Housebroken, dog-friendly (I have a small, friendly dog) • Up to date on rabies, distemper, and bordetella 🛑 Please note: • No clients can enter my home due to a medically vulnerable family member • I offer video tours of the space and in-person meet & greets in a neutral location • I require a meet & greet for all services 🏡 The setup: • Large private yard for daily walks and sniff breaks • Spacious indoor play area for relaxing or playing safely ⸻ 📅 Availability • At this time, I do not offer recurring services, only one-time bookings to maintain flexibility • I do pet sitting and limited boarding, but not in-home visits or house sitting ⸻ 💬 Let’s Chat! I’d love to learn about your pup and their needs. Message me to set up a meet & greet - I can’t wait to meet your best friend! I’m an online student finishing up my degree. My 9-5 became too rigid more my school work, so I’m looking for a more flexible job that allows me to stay in animal care. I require a meet and greet for every booking where we will discuss expectation. I will send daily updates and photos, and I am always available to shoot you an extra update if you reach out!


“My dog loved staying with Diana. She made him feel right at home-even letting him join her dog in bed at night. The dogs played together in her large fenced yard when the weather was good and Diana played with them indoors when it was rainy outside. She also takes great pictures and kept me informed on how he was doing every day.”


About: I’ve been around dogs all my life! I grew up in the country side of Ireland and had many sheep dogs through my childhood. My love for animals started at a young age and quickly learned how smart and special they truly are. Through out the years I’ve developed an intuitive approach to caring for each animals individual personality and needs. This is my full time job Monday through Friday. Rates are listed but please note ! (Anything over 8hrs is an additional $20/hr) for daycare. I have a fenced yard for your dog to play and would never have more than 5/6 dogs at a time.I also live in a very walkable neighborhood with sidewalks and I’m close to , parks, farms, and nature hikes. Sadly I no longer have a pup of my own as he recently passed away.
