House Sitting in Cuddebackville

“Savana was great with our pups, giving them all the attention they needed and then some! We didn’t have to worry. They were in their home and loved for 9 days and we appreciate all she did! Looking forward to next time! 💕”

About: Currently, I care for my own cat and provide weekday care for another dog in my home. I also dog-sit for a neighbor’s dog who is fearful and aggressive towards others. I’ve been able to build trust with him by being patient and calm. Happy to build a relationship with your pet/s as well! I also grew up caring for two cocker spaniels and a cockatiel. I work part-time as a farmers market sales person and also do remote website work from home. My flexible schedule allows me plenty of availability to care for and assist with pets. Whether it’s daily attention or occasional help, I’m ready to fit pet care seamlessly into my routine! On drop in visits, I’m happy to take dogs on walks, give all the pets, get to know your dog and make sure they have everything they need (food, water, affection and clean space!) Enjoy meeting and caring for cats as well! Able to make sure they have the food, water, physical interaction and play time they might need while you are away.

“Shannon and Justin were the best, the dogs loved them. We recieved regular updates and pictures. I highly recommend them.”

About: I have volunteered at a few animal shelters, including Pet's Alive in Middletown, NY. When I volunteered there, dogs were divided into green, yellow, and red. Green meaning that the dog was friendly and easier to handle, red meaning that only certain people could handle them, and yellow was a midway point. Throughout my time there, I was able to work my way up to yellow, which meant that I could work with the dogs that weren't always easy to handle. In my home life, I had a Treeing Walker Coonhound named Annie! We grew up together, and it often felt like she was my second sister. At a very young age, I had to learn how to safely walk a very strong, passionate, excited, and fast hound. Towards the last two years of her life, I made it my priority to make sure Annie was as comfortable as possible. This meant taking her outside often because of her incontinence, as well as helping her up the stairs if she needed help. Since then, I have looked after the dogs of many friends and family, and I'm excited to meet yours! I work from home, and I make my own schedule, so I'm very flexible! The only times I would most likely not be able to care for your pets in over night stays would be the day before a holiday and the holiday (example: Christmas Eve and Christmas.) For those who need a caretaker during odd hours that other caretakers may not be able to fill, my flexible schedule could definitely work! Above all else, I want you and your pets to feel comfortable, safe, and happy with me, so how I care for them depends on their personalities, what you can tell me about them, and what they need to be their healthiest self. I'm very patient and I love how unique all creatures on this earth are - I will have an absolute blast getting to know your furry pals! As much as I'd love to board, I have two cats who grew up with a dog when they were kittens, but it's been almost 7 years, and unfortunately, they have long since forgotten that dogs exist. To prevent confusing my cats, my care will primarily be at your house and property! I have always seen taking care of animals as a huge responsibility, and I genuinely do not take animal care lightly. I also take being in your home and property very seriously, because our homes should be a safe place for ourselves, our families, and our pets.

“We had Grayson stay in our home when we went on vacation for a week, and she took such good care of our dog, 2 cats, and fish. She checked in with us everyday to update us on how everything was going. Our dog, Pippa, has separation anxiety and for the first couple of days she wasn’t eating great, one time didn’t want to go outside for her walk, and was generally standoffish. Grayson was quick to let us know that she seemed to be having an hard time adjusting, so we were able to advise her on how she could try to make our pup more comfortable. With Grayson’s gentle encouragement and mindfulness to her anxiety triggers, she was able to bring Pippa’s anxiety down and helped her adjust to our absence relatively quickly. We were so happy when Grayson told us that they had started to bond, even having some snuggle time! She was able to take Pippa on some long walks/runs (which we had previously okayed), when our dog typically doesn’t trust relative strangers enough to leave our property with them for walks. I wanted to share all of this to convey how wonderful Grayson is with animals, as evidenced by the bond she was able to create with our anxious pup. It’s so important to have a sitter that can put you at ease when you are entrusting them with your home and beloved pets, and Grayson did just that—and beyond. She immediately let us know when one of our cats knocked something over and broke it, and even offered to replace it for us. She is just a very kind, thoughtful, and respectful person in general, and we definitely got that impression from her upon our very first meeting. We are just thrilled to have found her and will continue to use her services for a long time to come. Grayson, we genuinely appreciate everything and are sending you the biggest thank you!!!”

“Dante did a great job watching our two dogs for the weekend! He was easy to reach and the dogs were very happy and well taken care of. I would recommend.”

“Kacie was outstanding and a pleasure to deal with. My 9 week old puppy was so happy when we arrived home after two stressful days of work in NYC and it was obvious that she was give a lot of attention. Also, the house was spotless. Thank you Kacie.”

“We could not be happier with Jade! She came to our rescue when a kennel reservation fell through and stayed in our home for four nights with our eight month old Samoyed puppy and three year old bengal cat while we traveled out of state to a family wedding. Jade exudes an immense amount of compassion and sensitivity, as well as the utmost professionalism. Her communication is awesome, and her experience/knowledge as a petsitter and caretaker of animals really shows. She took remarkable care of our beloved cat and dog, and just as importantly she cared beautifully for our house while we were away. This was our first time working with a pet sitter, and actually opening our home to someone while we weren’t there, which was totally nerve-wracking! We are so grateful that Jade was the person we connected with.”

“I HIGHLY recommend Anastasia to be your fur-child sitter! I will definitely rebook her in the future! I had to go out of the country and had no care for my beloved dog and cats. Frantic, my colleague recommended Rover. I was skeptical because I never used a pet sitter before. But I took the chance and was pleased. Anastasia was very prompt, kind and professional. She listened to what the needs of my pets were and catered to their individual personalities. She sent me frequent pictures and videos of the day and really tended to them. Anastasia was so involved, playful and loving with my them that once I returned, I can tell her presence was missed. She was playful, caring, attentive and energetic with my fur-children. Without hesitation, I HIGHLY recommend Anastasia to take care of your fur-child and I will definitely rebook her in the future!”

About: I’ve been pet sitting since I was about 8 years old I remember helping my mom walk my aunt’s cocker spaniel who we watched very frequently. I also had helped feed and clean litter boxes for my uncle’s cats when I lived with him. From there my love for animals blossomed. I have also been a dog groomer for over 13 years. I currently have a dog, 3 cats and a gecko. I do work full time Wednesday-Sunday but if I’m dog walking I can usually go to your home before work and after work. Just ask my exact availability!! If I were to come to your home, I would provide the upmost care for them. Just let me know what your pet likes to do during the day and I can flow with their daily schedule.

About: Hey there, dog lovers! I’m Michael, your dog’s new best friend and part-time student at SUNY Orange. I’m experienced with all ages, from wobbly puppies to wise seniors, and I treat every pup like part of the family. (Due to my current living situation, I am ONLY allowed to dog board hypoallergenic dogs or dogs that shed minimally.) Let’s connect! I am currently a part time student and freelancer that can be flexible with scheduling. My availability varies throughout the week and value early notices. I care for pets by trying to keep a clean environment at all times. Cleanliness is very important to me as I find it very important for general health.

About: I've owned and cared for dogs since I was three years old. I've always loved them! I've worked at a dog boarding kennel for over a year now and I love it! Before that, I worked at a farm with lots of different animals and I've watched/walked dogs on the side for a long time now. I also have experience with cats as well! I'd love to meet your four-legged friends and family! I work part-time at a dog boarding kennel and my hours are different sometimes. I'm either working 7am - 12:30pm OR 3pm - 7pm. I usually work the afternoon shift (3 - 7). Since I have worked with animals a lot, especially dogs, I definitely consider myself pretty educated. Like I said, I do not offer boarding in my own home but I am more than happy to come to yours and offer my services! If you have any questions about anything, always feel free to contact me! :)

“Bridget spent a few days taking care of my pack and is now their favorite human! She’s patient with them and gives attention to each dog. She was in constant communication with us, sending pictures of all the fun they had. I’d definitely recommend her!”

“Andrew watched my dog while I went away for a work trip and did an exceptional job. He sent updates and continued my dogs training while I was away. Andrew is very dependable and I will be using his services again”

About: I have taken courses in pet first aid and pet cpr. My attention is always on your pet. My references are impeccable. I’m very proud of my years as a pet sitter and want to continue here in Orange County. I am now a widow so my time is my own.. I would give my full attention to your fur baby . I have cat references as well as dog. I love to walk so your pet would get plenty of exercise. But I have to say I don’t like taking my charges to dog parks. Too risky.

“I’m so happy to have met Samantha. She is incredibly kind and took great care of my dogs (and house!) while I was away for an extended work trip and they clearly adored her too. They took to her immediately the afternoon of our meet & greet which left me feeling completely at ease leaving them behind.”

“Danae is a wonderful pet sitter! I was nervous to leave my 5 cats for two weeks but Danae put me as such ease upon first meeting . She was so thoughtful and sent me daily updates of our kitties looking so happy and relaxed.. When we returned our cats looked super content and didn’t seem stressed in the least bit. She truly is an animal lover and it shows on the love she showers upon the cats”

About: I’ve always had dogs growing up—specifically labs! I am gentle and kind with all animals and promise to treat your pup just as you would and love them as if they were my own. With over 20 years of pet care experience, I can assure you that your pup will be in great hands! I currently work from home and have the luxury of being with your pup 24/7 - that includes unlimited potty breaks and playing! I typically wake up around 6/7am and go to sleep around 11pm, so your pup's schedule is always accommodated! I live in a large private valley that spans over 85 acres of pasture. My house is nearly 1 mile away from any roads, plenty far away to ensure safety. Your pup is free to roam and enjoy the great outdoors, otherwise, I'm happy to provide leashed walks.

About: Since i was younger I’ve taken care of different varieties of animals from guinea pigs to lizards to Cats and big dogs each animal has special care and loves to be loved differently.

I am currently working overnights at the hospital, so I have plenty of time to care and play for Your furry Friends during the day from 9am-10pm. I can also make time for walking, check-ins and overnight care with notice as i understand their are busy parents with crazy schedules At home i have access to dog parks, doggy bag posts and many gated areas just incase your furry friend loves to adventure in places they don’t know they can’t go safety is a major priority of mine as pets are family and are loved very much!

I also have nanny cameras since I have toddlers ! Spoiler alert ! Your pup will be spoiled while in my care 🥰 I’m a stay at home mom so pet sitting works out well for my schedule and routine. Overall, the pets will be taken care of with the up most care and love! I love the interaction with all dogs and their cute personalities. I like to hear what the client would like in regards to care and how their normal routine goes in their homes. I like to help the client keep their pet on the schedule they’d normally have at home. Dogs will be walked on a leash at all times. I also use puppies wipes to clean up their paws/other areas after walking outside🙂.
