Pet Sitting in Cross River

About: Our pets are a very special part of our families. They each have their own quirks and personalities, and they all bring so much love and joy to our lives. I will meet your pet’s needs, and spend time with them in the way they like the most. I have been a dog walker and pet care provider for 17 years now, and I still love my job! Each pet that I meet makes me smile. I like to think that I am able to give some of the happiness these animals bring to me, back to them. Over my 17 years of being a pet care provider, I have had experience with dogs of all different breeds, sizes and ages -from puppies to seniors. I am fully insured. I am willing to work with your pup on basic training, or put them in my car, for a short drive to a favorite walking area. If you need me to feed your dog or cat, please let me know. I can also spend time playing or cuddling with your dog or cat. When I am not enjoying the company of pets, I am drawing or painting pet portraits for commissions. I look forward to meeting your special pet. I will give them the activity, affection, and attention that is right for them. I am dependable, professional and most of all, caring. You can count on me to take good care of your pet, and you can feel confident, knowing that your pet is in exceptional hands, when you are not able to take care of them yourself. I have been walking dogs and taking care of pets during the day for 17 years now, and I spend my evenings drawing and painting pets for commissions as a pet portrait artist. It’s all about the animals with me! I would love to come to your home and walk your dog in your neighborhood, or perhaps drive them to a close by favorite walking area. Some dogs have invisible fence collars, and need to be driven off the property, or they live on busy streets, that are not safe streets to walk on. I can drive them to a quiet side street or a park, if you prefer. You can request a feeding, if you would like, and I could do a quick scan of the house for any unexpected accidents, and clean them up for you. I can do drop-in visit (15 minutes), or a full 30 minute walk or play in the yard. More time can be requested, if necessary. For cat care, I can clean the litter boxes, feed your cat/refresh their water, and play or cuddle with them. I can also take a quick scan of the house for messes for them also.

“Lana came to take care of our cat while we were on vacation and we couldn’t have been happier with her services! She made sure our little guy had a clean litter box every day, refilled his wet food feeder, and even offered treats and some play time. We will absolutely be booking Lana in the future whenever we need to go out of town!”

“Farva was available last minute and really helped us out when we booked a last minute trip! She was very responsive, prompt and professional. We’d definitely use her again!”

Amanda L.

“Joseph always goes above and beyond as a pet sitter. He is an incredibly good communicator and I know that my dog is being well loved and taken care of under Joseph’s care. My dog is very active and still has lots of puppy energy, but Joseph remains patient with him and makes sure that my dog can safely get his energy out.”

“Dee did an amazing job with my 2 kitties! Professional, great communication, great attention to detail, above and beyond! Thank you so much thank you Dee 😀”

Maura F.

“Dew is wonderful! She is very responsive and trustworthy. Our pups loved her immediately”

Holly C.

“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!”

Silvana X.

“Lorre & Antonio are superstars! They were so great with our cats and so thorough. Very communicative and sent so many drop-in pictures 2x daily. They were able to administer insulin injections to my diabetic cat which is a huge plus. They really kept on top of everything and the apartment was just how we left it (our Vicky is a messy eater who hairballs). They took the time to play and brush Louis & Victoria as well. I very highly recommend Lorre & Antonio. We will be booking them again for our future trips. Thanks so much again!”

Amy E.

“Anna took really great care of my cat. I can tell she has a genuine interest in the wellbeing of animals. She even sent a photo during her visit which put me at ease. Would definitely use again!”

I’m skilled in feeding, exercise, medications, and daily care, always making sure pets get the attention and love they deserve. As a daycare teacher, patience, safety, and reliability come naturally to me. I treat every pet as if they were my own, creating a calm, happy, and stress-free experience. Whether you need walks, drop-in visits, or overnight care, you can trust that your furry friends will be well cared for, loved, and spoiled while you’re away. I work 6:30 AM–3:30 PM as a preschool teacher. I’m available for overnight stays during the week, and depending on your pet’s location, I may be able to stop by during my lunch break for a quick potty break. I’m also available for evening walks, drop-in visits, and weekend care. I provide care in your home, following your pet’s routine and rules to keep them safe, happy, and comfortable. I offer walks, potty breaks, playtime, feeding, and companionship, always supervising to ensure your pet is secure and stress-free. I prioritize safety, trust, and consistency, tailoring care to each pet’s personality and needs. You can relax knowing your furry, feathery, or scaly friend will receive attentive, loving, and reliable care while you’re away

About: I have had dogs, cats, puppies in my life since I was born. I have had the pleasure of training all types of dogs in many different areas. When I was younger my family used to always take trips up to Marthas Vineyard, we always had to leave our dogs at a kennel which we realized later on was not the best thing to do for our dogs. Emotionally/mentally we could tell it had taken a toll on them, so we started leaving them home with Pet Sitters. That was the best decision we had made. I want to be able to provide the same love and care that our pet sitters have provided in the past, but for your pet! Im currently working privately as a Personal Trainer and a Hypnotherapist Practitioner so my schedule is quite flexible. I also offer Reiki for both people and pets (Dogs, Cats, Horses)!!! I don’t typically board pets but would be willing to work with someone if the situation was right. I am also willing and able to crate your pet if thats something you do in your home!

About: I have taken care of friends and family pets over the course of this year some long-term and some short term. Frequent dog park visits and timely feedings. I can accommodate all types of diets, raw kibble, and specialty foods. I currently work full-time however I have a rotating schedule so I can often pet sit and drop in weekdays if needed and weekends. I am off in the mornings so drop and visits are easy for people who work 9 to 5 and just want their dog to have some extra time out or to just check in on the cats. There is an option of having your pet here in my space all to themselves or with my personal pets. I have different options of sleeping accommodations for your pet cage, cot and cushioned. Though I do not have a fenced in yard, I have a dog park in my complex as well as a dog park 4 minutes away by car. I can accommodate all diets, including raw diet.

“I am new to Rover and I am very happy with the sitter I chose. She came for a meet and greet prior to her first visit today. I will certainly use her again.”

About: I have owned a black lab for 8 years, so I’m very comfortable around dogs and understand the responsibility that comes with caring for them every day. I have also helped watch and care for other dogs for friends, family, and neighbors, including feeding, walking, playing, and checking in on them while owners are away. As a college athlete, I am very active, responsible, and dependable, so I can easily keep up with energetic dogs and regular routines. I enjoy spending time outdoors and making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. As a college athlete, I am very active and used to staying on a consistent schedule. I usually take care of my own dog daily by feeding him, walking him in the mornings, playing with him, and helping get his energy out. I enjoy being outdoors and staying active, so I’m always happy to take dogs on walks, play with them, and make sure they are comfortable and well cared for throughout the day. I care for every dog like they are my own and always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well looked after. I have experience taking care of my 8-year-old black lab, including feeding, walking, playing, and keeping up with his daily routine. I understand the importance of trust, consistency, and making sure pets get enough exercise and attention. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I will always follow instructions carefully and make sure pets are happy, active, and safe.

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. *Meet and greet required before any new booking* 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, fully fenced yard 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.

“Kathleen is amazing! She’s so kind and personable and took care of my baby so well. She truly knows so much about animal care and it was such a pleasure to have her here. Thank you!!”

Alexandra L.

“Thanks for taking good care of the dogs!”

“Lanie saved us at the last minute when our usual sitter wasn’t available. She went above and beyond to communicate updates, accommodate special requests, and more. Thank you for the excellent care, Lanie!”

Taunya R.

“Martin was amazing with my two dogs. He spent the time to built their trust and love and took them on long and engaging walks which left them exhausted. I 100% recommend him.”

About: I have multiple years of experience petsitting, volunteering at animal shelters, and caring for pets of my own. I’m also knowledgeable about animals body language and behavior, which play a huge role in working with reactive, fearful, or under-socialized pets. I’m a college student spending the summer at home, so my hours are pretty flexible, and I’m more than happy to work around my client’s schedules. When doing drop-in visits, I typically feed your pet first before completing any additional tasks you need taken care of (grooming, cleaning, scooping litter boxes, etc.). Once your pets are done eating, I can give them up to an hour of play/social time before i leave, depending on how much energy they tend to have.
