Dog Sitting in Canaan

About: I’ve had animals throughout my entire life. When I was younger, my parents ran a boarding kennel and my father bred dogs. I grew up on a farm with about five horses, 35 dogs, several cats, a bird, lizards, fish, hermit crabs, etc. My father trained my brother and I to race sled dogs at a young age and we did that for several years along with horseback riding. With that being said, I have extensive experience with different types of animals, and I am confident that you’re fur baby will be in good hands and have the time of their life while under my supervision. Please feel free to reach out with any questions and I hope to hear from you soon! I am currently working at a private residence where I make my own hours , so I have plenty of time to take care of your baby! I can accommodate you and your pet(s)in whichever way you desire! I usually bring my little tuxedo cat with me on trips if it’s an overnight, but if you would rather me not, we can always work something out and discuss our options! (:

About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs for about five years now and I have a lot of experience. I’ve worked anywhere from doggy daycare‘s to overnights to boarding dogs in my own home. I’ve always considered myself an animal person and I just love to care for them. I’m currently in cosmetology school so Monday through Friday, I’m in School from 9 o’clock until 430. After that, I plan to stay where I’m dog sitting for so that they get the most love and attention when I am able to be there. I really like to take it on the owners terms. I always prefer to meet the animal I’m caring for first however, if that’s not possible then it’s totally fine, however I like to listen to what the animal tells me, what boundaries it’s giving me, but I love to be able to play with them take them outside as much as possible feed them when necessary and give extra treats because they’re such good babies. I just appreciate the owners letting me know what they do and don’t want from me as a host.

“Taylor was excellent, she was very attentive and caring for our dog.”

I’m a diligent, reliable and clean person that will leave your home and dog happier than I found it. I am also fully insured!

“Samantha is on time and does a great time caring for our dog!”

“I can’t recommend Bella enough! From the moment I met her, I knew my pups were in great hands. She took the time to get to know my dogs and their routines, which made me feel so at ease. Throughout my time away, Bella sent me daily updates and adorable photos of my pups playing and enjoying their time. Each picture captured their happiness—tails wagging and big smiles! It was such a relief to see them so content and well cared for. She truly went above and beyond, providing not just care but also love and attention. I will definitely be booking Bella again for future trips. If you’re looking for someone reliable and caring, look no further!”

About: I've loved animals forever and have cared for everything from a cockatiel to a chameleon, Great Pyrenees to Pekapoo. I currently have 1 Goldendoodle and 1 chocolate tabby cat in my home with fenced area and walking trails. I'm currently homeschooling my children at our 10+ acre home with fenced area and walking trails. We have a light schedule and are home more often than away. We currently walk our Goldendoodle daily and pet care is our love, in addition to our responsibility. I have a fenced area and multiple indoor secure areas where animals can get healthy time in a safe home without overstimulation. I have 1 Goldendoodle and 1 chocolate tabby cat who are the best of friends and are supportive to newcomers.

About: I have taken care of all different types of pets since I was young. I’m very comfortable administering medication to those who need it, playing with the young energetic animals, and being sensitive to older ones who may need extra care. I currently work full-time but I am one a hybrid schedule so I am home all day on Monday, Thursday, and Friday. I usually have things to do on the weekends but with enough notice I can certainly work around that. I have one 3 year old cat who is very friendly, quiet, and a bit of a cuddle bug. He is comfortable with other dogs and cats. I have a fenced in porch and a walkable safe neighborhood.

About: I have pet sit for multiple families and it’s something I love doing! I have more free time on my hands and want to use it wisely! I work part time so on days that I don’t work Sunday, Monday, and Wednesday I would love to help out! I can do any hours of the day those days! I live in an apartment so I can’t take any animals here but I am more than okay coming to you! I think that makes it easier for the owner anyway!

About: I've been taking care of a wide variety of animals for a long time. I have experience in all around basic boarding care for dogs, cats, and various reptiles and small animals; dog training basic obedience, fear or frustration aggression/reactivity, high drive dogs, and anxiety behaviors. Pet Care is not only an important part of my life, but it's a passion of mine. Caring for your animal like I do my own is what makes life rewarding for me. When your pet is with me it becomes a part of my family and is treated as such. I look forward to training or caring for your animals! I can train your dog in a multitude of ways. I work a lot of animals with anxiety and behavioral issues. I can easily crate your dog, cat or any other animal if needed. I have access to multiple fenced in yards for your pet to run around in and play. I have a fully trained purebred smooth collie who is extremely gentle and can make friends with anything. I have multiple rooms and spaces in order to accommodate your fur baby's needs. I pay attention to detail and carry out all care with the highest level of standards I can.

About: Hello! My name is Kerin, and caring for dogs has always been a passion deeply rooted in my family. My family and I run a rescue organization, Pooches Out of Puerto Rico, where I’ve had the opportunity to work with dogs of all temperaments and needs—from playful, energetic companions to those requiring extra patience due to fear, trauma, or pain. With extensive hands-on experience, I am dedicated to providing compassionate, reliable care for every dog as if they were my own. Whether your pet needs daily walks, playtime at the park, or personalized attention while you’re away, I am committed to making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. Whether you’re planning a long vacation or just a quick getaway, I would love to help care for your furry family members. Fenced yard or not, I can accommodate your dog’s individual needs and routine. And of course, you can always expect photo updates while you’re away for peace of mind! Please feel free to DM me so we can discuss scheduling and create the perfect care plan for your pets. I look forward to meeting you and your four-legged family members! DM me so we can chat about scheduling you a vacation whether it’s a long, extravagant trip or a short sweet little trip. I’m your girl and can’t wait to hear from you! It doesn’t matter if you have a fence or not. I can take your dog/s out for walks or go to play parks. You tell me what they and it consider it already done!

About: Growing up with dogs and taking care of the neighborhood dogs I'm no stranger to the amount of attention a fur baby needs. With a BA in Zoology and over 3 years of professional care with dogs I can't wait to meet your family! My day job at doggy camp keeps me pretty busy but I can't wait to hang with your fur baby on my days off! Your animals boundaries are my top priority. It is important to me that your fur baby and I can create a relationship where they look forward to my visits. Every animal builds trust differently and there's no rush

“Meg did an amazing job ensuring my fur babies received plenty of tender loving care while I was away. They tend to be hesitant with new people, but they warmed right up to Meg. She was trustworthy, responsible, easy-going, intelligent, and kind-hearted. I would highly recommend her. I will definitely use her services in the future.”

About: I adore animals. I have grown up with cats and dogs my entire life. When I did not have a pet of my own I always have asked friends and family to take care of their pets when in need. People have always relied on me with their animals as they know I show love and I am very attentive. I have mostly trained my young puppy who has a lot of energy, with the help of a few wonderful sitters. I understand behavioral training, being kind but firm. Teaching with kindness and showing the animals the way rather than teaching in fear. I give a lot of attention and am able to read their body language well. I work freelance so I am available intermittently. But when I am available for sitting I am present to give the animal full time care, so if you have an animal who has separation anxiety and doesn't I take the dogs out first thing in the morning for an hour sometimes even 2 hour run in the park. a few small walks in the day and another longer walk or run in the afternoon. I also love to take the dogs on hikes. I do not have a crate as I did not do crate training with my dog but if you want to provide one I am happy to. My apartment is puppy/dog proof. I have a big yard although it is not fenced on one side so I always watch the dogs when I am out there. I have a nice big dog park near my place. I am currently working freelance, as previously mentioned. Reach out to me and I will tell you when/if I am available. I really enjoy animals company and I work in the city so this is something I like to do when I am home in Hudson and not working. I do allow my dog on the bed and couch in my own home, but I do encourage him to sit on his own bed. I can follow any rules that you wish that aligns with you and your pets needs.

About: I’ve grown up with animals, specifically Maltese dogs. I enjoy meeting new ones to help a pet owner or a friend out. I really like taking my friends pets for hikes. I have worked in pet stores and have taken a course on exotic animals. I have experience caring for hamsters and hedgehogs. While I don’t pick favorite dogs, my favorite breed of dog is the Sheltie! If your pup is a Shetland sheepdog, I’ll offer discounted rates:) I am currently a college student and my schedule is currently flexible with availability. I can work with you to help you find the right fit. I have two small dogs myself and cannot provide in house for an extended period of time with a larger animal. Have a partially fenced house

About: I’ve taken care of dog of many sizes and health conditions, I have had a cat for 9ish years and have cared for friend and families dogs for years. I am a student, I am relatively free but lots of work to do! I like to go on walks already! I am able to be flexible. I know how to feed animals and care for them, can follow special instructions as I know they are important. As much as I would love to care for your fur baby at my home, I cannot.

“Joyce did an amazing and thorough job with our two cats while we were away. She left us detailed notes, took tons of pictures, and made me feel totally confident that our cats were getting plenty of attention (and fresh food and water) while we were out of town!”

About: I've been taking care of dogs since I was five years old and continued to get more dogs. I have dog sat for multiple friends and family rating from dogs and cats. As far as training animals, I did grow up with having to train them so I do have some experience. I am currently working part time and go to community college but will be able to manage and work out a schedule that will be accommodating. I have 3 dogs that have invisible fences outside so they can roam free without getting lost, going to the road, running off. I have a big yard surrounding my house so they are used to running around freely. When it gets too cold they come in to the house or garage with my father. I am used to walking dogs as they do get walked on occasion at home or if we have them out of the house. I do not off offer services that welcome pets into my house but I am accommodating as necessary and will offer services at your residency.

“Clara was so wonderful with our animals, very responsive, trustworthy, and friendly. She made it so our trip away (during a snowstorm nonetheless) was as stress free as possible. We were nervous about the weather and her access to the property and the added challenges the storm brought, but she handled it no problem. We are really excited to have someone we can rely on in the future to take care of our furry friends while we’re away.”
