My passion lies in delivering high-quality care to you and your beloved companion in the comfort of your home. I am currently seeking to utilize my available time during the week, coinciding with my partner's daytime work schedule, and I believe that providing in-home pet care services would be a fulfilling endeavor for me and the animal friends you love. I am ecstatic to meet with you and explore how I can help fill any gaps in your pets’ in-home care schedule.

Working with large animals my whole career I am extremely diligent about safety for all animals. I will put your pet's safety as a first priority.

“We booked Vincent for our dog Bella. He is even better than his countless reviews. He is professional and kind. He immediately bonded with our large rescue dog Bella. She usually takes more time to trust new visitors. Vincent is clearly experienced and naturally gifted with dogs. I strongly recommend him and we will book again in the future. Thank you!”

About: Hello! My name is Sam and dogs have been my passion for as long as I can remember. I have been pet sitting since I was a teenager, and have always had a hand in caring for my family's pets. Within the last year I have had the opportunity to help whelp two litters of Bernese Mountain Dog puppies and it was one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. I love getting to know new dogs and cats, and have been known to leave my table at a restaurant to pet a dog I see through the window. I am the person at the party seeking out the pets so I can talk to them, rather than talk to the humans! I attend obedience classes with my own dogs weekly, and will be attending handling classes soon as well. Nothing brightens my day like being greeted by a dog, and getting to take care of them. We currently have three dogs and three cats in our home. Nothing is more important to me than your animal's comfort and safety.

“I was so grateful to find Allie and can’t wait to use her in the future. I don’t have animals but my parents and in laws do who we watch often. It was so nice to have peace of mind while I’m at work that they were taken care of. Allie came over to do a meet and greet before hand and the dogs immediately felt comfortable and loved her. She is responsible, caring, and a total animal lover. I can’t wait to use her in the future and will definitely recommend her to everyone I know!”

About: Howdy! My name is Erin. I’ve been caring for animals for over 15 years now and have met some wonderful pets along the way. My main services on here are dog walking and drop-ins. I have experience with senior dogs, giving daily medication and assisting with mobility as needed. My goal is to make sure your dog or cat is well taken care of, they’re part of the family and I will do whatever I can to accomplish that. I also have a dog (Willow) and cat (Destri) of my own at home, who I will refer to as my fur babies. If your dog wants a companion on our walks, Willow would be more than happy to join us. She gets along with just about everyone, but understands if your dog would prefer to walk alone with me. If you have any questions feel free to reach out!😊 I work remotely, so have a fairly flexible schedule. As long as I can get set time/days ahead of time, I should be able to make it work. We can discuss in more detail as needed. As I stated above, my goal is to make sure your pet is well taken care of. This includes ensuring a safe environment for your pet and building trust with my clients. I am a big proponent of respect and trust in my life, so it’s no different in this circumstance.

“Mary Jo is an excellent pet sitter!! She took care of my dog and 2 cats for a week, coming to my house 2x per day. Mary Jo is reliable, conscientious and kind. She also stayed in contact which I really appreciated. Next vacation I'm definitely booking Mary Jo again and highly recommend her!!”

About: I’m certified in Pet CPR & First Aid through PetTech. I have a depth and variety of experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. I’ve worked at a doggy daycare, where I handled multiple dogs at once in group settings, giving me valuable experience with a wide range of breeds and personalities. I’m very familiar with reading canine body language and making sure play stays safe and respectful. I’ve also cared for both puppies and senior dogs, so I’m comfortable adjusting my care to their unique needs—whether it’s helping with early training for a new pup or making sure an older dog is comfortable and supported throughout the day. On top of that, I’ve owned and cared for dogs my entire life, which has taught me to be attentive, patient, and genuinely connected to each dog I spend time with. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily and weekly routine. My schedule is currently very flexible and accommodating, which allows me to take on regular walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting as needed. I truly enjoy spending my time with your furry friends, so fitting pet care into my day feels natural and fulfilling, whether it’s a quick walk or an overnight stay. I only offer care in my client’s home, and I always do my best to make sure your pet feels comfortable and safe in their familiar environment. I pay close attention to their behavior, routines, and any specific needs they may have. Whether it’s feedings, walks, playtime, or medications, I follow your instructions carefully and treat your pet and home with the utmost respect and care.

About: I have loved animals since I was old enough to remember. My first ever pet was a siberian husky who I met the day my mother took me home from the hospital! I have lots of experience with many different dogs. I grew up with a 3 legged dog, Jade who I was so very close with, she gave me lots of experience with caretaking. One of my other rescues was the sweetest girl with some health problems that gave me experience in basic at home medical care (giving her medication, eye drops, helping her up the stairs etc.). Her best friend Tupoy was a 120 lb siberian husky who gave me experience in walking and training large dogs! I trained most of my rescues and adopted dogs from the ages of 6-12 weeks so I have extensive puppy training tips and tricks. I even have experience with training horses and they are far more stubborn than puppy’s! I have been trusted to pet sit for many friends, family members and the people they recommended me to! I love every pet as my own and look forward to meeting yours (: Right now I am a full-time student so I have lots of time on my hands. Until December I only have classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays for a brief amount of time & attend the rest online. I spend most of my days at home with my own dog studying outside while he plays or cuddled up on the couch with him and my laptop! I do not have a fenced in yard and live on the main road, also, my pup is quite large and can play very rough which is why I don’t feel comfortable with pet sitting at my own house. Your pets safety is a number one priority for me! At your home I will spend all my time giving your pup the very best care possible! Lots of love, playtime, and outside time, whichever schedule they are used to I will stick to it. My goal is to make them as comfortable as possible!

About: I have been taking care of pets since I was born with my first Golden Retriever “Missy”. My family has had a wide variety of animals from dogs and cats, to hamsters and bunnies, all the way to horses. I am often called on by my fiends to pet sit as I am known as the friend with a surplus of pets. I currently have a small dog named Munchie with many different health problems such as anxiety and epilepsy which gives me experience in caring for dogs with specific needs. I also currently have a large dog who is a Shepard, Boxer mix named Leo who gives me experience in caring for large dogs and their active and rambunctious needs. Along with my two dogs I have four cats who give me experience in the joy of caring for cats. As a pet owner I know the struggle of finding a good and trustworthy pet sitter. That is why I want to be able to be that pet sitter that will allow you to enjoy your vacation or go to work with the peace of mind knowing your pet is being taken care of. I am currently a student at Marist College in Poughkeepsie. Due to my class schedule I have blocks of time in which I am not in class or doing homework that I would love to be able to fill with hanging out with dogs:) Due to the fact that I am a college student I do not have the home environment to be able to care for your dog at my house. But I will give them the love and attention they need during my drop-in visits with lots of pets, playtime, walks and treats!
