“Laurie is an amazing sitter. Our pup and cats adored her. And, I we felt completely at ease while away with her regular communication and all of the pictures! It actually felt like so we were able to peer in on everyone and see what they were up to. Will definitely work w Laurie in the future!”


About: Welcome, if you happened to find my page, I am offering many services for you loving pets. 1. Boarding, 1 dog one at a time (most are 2 from the same house hold), small breed only. I have a big back yard, fenced, no harmful pesticides. Your fur babies can run around to their hearts content. I offered daily walk during boarding( weather permitting). 2. Drop in visit. I usually visit twice a day, staying one hour or more each time. Following the client' instruction on routines for your pet. Small, medium, and Large dogs are all welcome. 3. Day Care, usually 8 hours duration, your fur pal gets plenty of companionship from my dogs, on our laps, backyard and daily walks. Plenty cuddle time and what ever routine you prefer. Small breed only. 4.Walks: each walk is 30 min or 1 hour. if you need other service besides during that time just let me know. Small, medium, and Large dogs are all welcome. A little bit about myself, I live with husband and 2 fur babies. I have owned various size and breed of dogs since I was in elementry schools. Right now I have 2 small dogs( both were adopted), one is a senior and one is handicapped. They go out for walks at least 30 min per day in the parks, and I groom them myself. We trained them well and they dont beg by the table, they dont bark for no reasons, and they are well socialized. I am so grateful for able to take care them. One of the dog is 14 years old she got adopted by us at age 7, she came with anxiety issues. we retrained her to relieve herself outdoor, she learned fast, and she was rehabilitated into a wonderful, fun, loving dog. The handicapped one has a birth defects but he is the sweetest dog I ever owned, he is well behaved and very smart. I want to pour more time into taking care of these amazing pets, they are not just dogs, they are our family, companions and true friends I work as arts and craft teacher at elementry school (5 hours per week). I also teach 3 hours per week at the YMCA. I have ample time to take care of the dogs. At my home the dogs are being monitored with servalliace camera. I let them out every 2 -4 hours during the day if I am home. Our yard is fenced. They get 2 meals a day. some treats. I follow clients instruction on taking care of dogs.

About: I had a cat for 15 years and I have had 5 dogs. I now have 2 dogs who I got as puppies TOGETHER ! Raising two puppies at once was hard but it was so worth it. I am good at handling anything that comes my way and I love animals very much. I currently have a full time job but I am available weekends, before 7:30, after 5 pm and on holidays. I care about my pets seeing people and being brought on walks when I am gone, this is what I’m here for! I have two friendly dogs (one miniature bernedoodle and one standard bernedoodle). I have a dog park in my back yard for the pups to run around in and I have plenty of comfy couches and beds if that is what you allow!

“Jennifer was great with Tucker! She is a compassionate and enthusiastic sitter! She will be taking care of Tucker for a week and I am totally confident Tucker will fall in love with her! I will be able to enjoy myself knowing Tucker is in great hands!”


About: From furry to feathered, I've been surrounded by animals my entire life, nurturing a deep understanding and unwavering passion for their well-being. Growing up with cats, dogs, birds, hamsters, fish, and rabbits has instilled in me a lifelong commitment to providing exceptional care for all creatures, great and small. This isn't just a job for me; it's a continuation of a lifelong dedication. What truly sets me apart is my experience with special needs animals. My own beloved dog, Charli, battled a severe form of epilepsy, requiring meticulous management through specialized diets, precise medication administration (oral and nasal), diapering and attentive seizure care, including mobility assistance with a supportive sling. This personal journey has equipped me with invaluable skills and a profound empathy for animals facing health challenges. I also have experience administering oral medication to rabbits, syringe feeding, and even IV hydration. Beyond my personal experience, I actively volunteer at SNARR, a special needs rescue in Brewster, where I walk and socialize dogs of all breeds and temperaments. I'm also currently pursuing my dog training certification, further enhancing my ability to understand and address canine behavior. Animals have always been an integral part of my life, and their well-being is my utmost priority. When you entrust your pet to my care, you can rest assured they will be treated with the same love, attention, and dedication I would give my own. Animal care and welfare is my full time job, so I can easily adapt to your pet's unique needs and provide personalized care. I am Pet CPR and First Aid Certified. When pets stay with me, they become part of our family! My home offers a comfortable and safe environment, with a large, partially fenced yard (full fencing is in progress!) where they can enjoy supervised playtime. Inside, I have cozy beds and ample space for crating if needed. I understand that every pet is unique, so I'll tailor my schedule to perfectly match your pet's exercise, feeding, and medication needs. We're fortunate to live in an area with plenty of beautiful walking and hiking trails, perfect for exploring with energetic pups. My two children, ages 8 and 11, are animal lovers who understand the importance of respecting individual needs and temperaments. They're also fantastic playmates for dogs who enjoy a good romp! Finally, we have a house rabbit who will always be kept separate from any visiting animals, ensuring everyone's safety and comfort.

“Kristin was amazing!! She kept in touch with us everyday, when a little emergency came about with our little Sonny she was on it and kept in touch and really worked with us to get it taken care of. My dog loved her and really made us real at ease with living him in her care. I will with out a doubt be using Kristin again.”


About: Hi, I’m Arieh — a lifelong animal lover and your pet’s next favorite human! With a background as a strength & conditioning coach, I’m fully equipped to handle dogs of all sizes — from tiny terriers to giant breeds with serious pull-power. But my real strength? Loving care. I grew up surrounded by pets — dogs, ferrets, goats, birds, fish — and I bring years of hands-on experience to every animal I meet. I’m especially experienced with senior pets, puppies, and pets facing health challenges, including giving medications and providing extra patience and TLC. Plus, as an amateur photographer, I’ll keep you updated with adorable, high-quality photos — because you shouldn’t have to miss a single happy tail wag or goofy smile while you’re away. Your pet’s comfort, happiness, and safety are my top priorities. I can’t wait to meet your furry (or feathered!) family member! Pet care fits beautifully into my daily life! I run my own e-commerce business and work remotely, which means I set my own schedule and have the flexibility to adjust my days around pet care — including accommodating last-minute bookings. I’m currently single and love staying active, so taking pets on walks or spending time with them throughout the day feels like a natural, joyful part of my routine. Whether it’s a quick potty break, a long walk, or some quality cuddle time, I’m happy to make sure your pet’s needs are met with love and attention. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. When I care for pets in your home, I do everything I can to maintain their normal routine — from feeding schedules to walk times, play, and rest — so they feel secure and at ease while you’re away. I’m respectful of your space, tidy, and always leave things as I found them (or better!). I pay close attention to each pet’s unique needs, whether that means giving medication, monitoring energy levels, or offering extra patience and affection for senior pets or puppies. You can expect regular updates and photos from me, so you never have to wonder how your furry family member is doing.

About: Animals bring joy to our world, and specifically to my world! I am happy and honored to care for your loved ones! With 15 years of experience caring for Dogs, Cats (and Bears oh my), Fish, Turtles, I have time-tested experience with success, and increasing enjoyability! I have a calm demeanor which has been in part inspired folks to call me a "dog whisperer." I will have an immediate, positive impact on your loved ones life, and want to be of service to our sacred pet community! I'm a part-time law student, with a few free days each week, which I would love to spend taking the best care of your pet(s)! I believe all animals deserve compassion, attention, and a reliable food schedule/walks outside! I'll adhere to YOUR specific requests, I am here to serve YOU!

“Deniz did an amazing job taking care of my dog (in his home) and my cats (in my house) and my plants. He’s lovely and I’d happily recommend him. He’s also: Reliable, detail oriented, takes initiative, follows instructions, communicative, respectful, responsible. I was able to relax knowing everything was taken care of while I was away for almost a month.”


“Michele provides truly exceptional pet sitting service. She was in charge of my ancient dog with limited mobility and 2 cats. She kept me updated throughout my week long international travels and went above and beyond in caring for the pets and performing related services. I highly recommend her. My pets really seemed to bond with her and she appeared to enjoy taking care of them. Everything was done perfectly.”


“Jayna agreed to take care of my baby girl pretty short notice and was completely accommodating. She kept me in the loop to everything that happened which was very comforting and extremely appreciated! I will be booking her again for sure!”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs of different sizes since I was a kid. I am very active and playful with pets. I am responsible and inquisitive about your pets specific needs. I am currently on the job hunt so I have more freedom to spend time with pets. I’ll take your pet(s) out frequently and spend time playing! I have an apartment in NYC and a family home in Connecticut if your pets are staying with me. But I prefer to pet sit at the clients home so the pet(s) keep their routine.

“Emily was absolutely fantastic. She took a change in medication totally in stride, and was very communicative. I can tell she has a passion and talent for caring for furry friends, and I felt so confident leaving home knowing they’d be in such good hands. Can’t recommend her enough!”


“Kathleen is a true professional! As this was our first time using Rover, I spent plenty of time ready through her numerous reviews and they all played true. Kathleen was prompt and responsive. Her updates were thorough and we knew had left our fur baby in good hands! We will happily have Kathleen again in the future for our cat sitting needs. Thank you for the assurance our little four legged friend was in good hands!”


“Jennifer is amazing! Our original walker cancelled on us last minute and she was able to fill in and ease our minds. She is so friendly, provided detailed updates for us, and made sure Hershey had some fun! Would definitely recommend Jennifer to anyone looking for a walker!”

He took care of my 80-lb golden retriever, Scout, as if she were his own—balancing her boundless energy with expert, coach-approved play circuits and twice-daily “sniffari” adventures that left her content and tuckered out. He was always punctual, super communicative, and sent the most adorable, high-quality photo updates (my phone’s full of them!). When Scout needed her pain meds for an old hip injury, Arieh administered them with calm confidence and kept me in the loop every step of the way. I came home to a spotless house, a happy pup, and zero worries. You can trust Arieh completely—book him now, your fur baby will thank you! 🐾✨”
