“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.

About: I am in the military and want a dog very badly but cannot have one of my own. Dog sitting will help you and me. I have every other weekend off and available anytime. Also every other Monday Tuesday available anytime. Flexible schedule to work with your schedule as well. My apartment complex has a fenced in area for dogs to take care of their business. I am in a very quiet friendly neighbor hood.

About: 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’ve grown up as a daughter of an Animal Control Officer and taken care of pets for all of my life. I am happy to provide love and care to any pet that comes my way:) I’m am working part time as a gas-attendant at a marina…I just need a little bit of a heads up and then I can set time aside for you. Sometimes I have petsitted for clients who like crating their pets while others like fencing a yard and leaving them outside. I am able to do anything the client needs.

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.

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life, and caring for them never feels like work—it’s something I truly enjoy. I’ve spent a lot of time with pets and I love getting to know their individual quirks and personalities. Whether it’s a playful pup, an older dog, or a cat, I take the time to connect and make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and happy. I believe pets deserve our full attention and respect, and that’s exactly how I approach every visit. I know how important it is to feel confident leaving your pet in someone else’s care, and I’m here to make that easy for you. I’m excited to meet your furry friend and give them the care they deserve! Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I enjoy being active and spending time with animals. I do work part time but I’m able plan my schedule to make sure I’m fully available and focused during each visit or walk, and I always allow time for travel, play, and updates to pet parents. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday drop-ins, or evening cuddles, I make sure each pet gets the attention and care they need—no rushing, just quality time. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always follow their routine as closely as possible to keep their pet comfortable and stress-free. I take time to understand feeding schedules, walking routines, and any special instructions so everything stays consistent. I make sure pets feel safe, respected, and loved in their own space—whether that means going for a walk, playing, or simply being a calm presence. At home, I have a dog who I adore. Caring for him daily has taught me how important it is to give pets the attention, structure, and love they need. I make sure he’s well-fed, gets his favorite treats, and always feels included and cared for. That same level of care is what I bring to every pet I look after. Cleanliness and communication are also important to me. I keep things tidy and will always give updates with photos or notes, so owners know their pet is in good hands.

About: "The happiest days are filled with wagging tails! Every furry guest is treated like a member of the family. Expect endless playtime, cozy snuggles, and detailed updates (including adorable photos!) throughout your pet's stay." I am self employed, work when I want and as much as I want all depending on my pups & your pups happiness & needs! I have a large home that is easily sectioned or gated, a large fenced yard and a quiet neighborhood close to the beach for walks

“Duck had a wonderful walk with Adriana! I was very pleased and loved the pictures from the update. Adriana was very communicative and attentive. Highly recommend!”


About: I am a friendly, professional dog lover. Long walks in nature are my specialty! My seven-year-old female terrier is very friendly and loves to have a friend to walk with! Rain or shine, Let's get some exercise and fresh air today! I am available weekends to care for your pets. I work as a chiropractic assistant during the week. Long hikes are my specialty! rain or shine! Your pet's safety is my top priority. Nothing is more important than keeping your fur baby happy and safe while they are in my care.

About: I've taken care of many dogs and have had my owns dogs and cats. I have great patience with animals and have trained several dogs. I have a 9-5 job but am free most of the other times. If you are near Essex I can leave work and take dogs out midday as well. I love playing with cats and dogs and keeping them entertained as well as exercised. I can walk your dog for miles if that is what they like.

About: He cuidado perros desde joven, en Costa Rica trabaje con Territorio de Zaguates mucho tiempo. En Mexico tuve mi primera pensión canina. 4 Años de referencias. Actualmente trabajo por la mañana de lunes a viernes hasta las 5 pm. Tengo toda la tarde libre y los fines de semanas totalmente disponibles. Tengo un jardin vallado y una perrita que es muy amigable y le hara compania a tus peludos. Si prefieren descansar en el canil esta bien tambien.

About: I grew up with dogs and cats my whole life typically at least 2 dogs and 2 cats at one time. I am a natural animal lover and caretaker. I trained corgis for almost 10 years. I now have two cats and a dog of my own. I usually pet sit for friends or for my parents who have 3 dogs, 3 cats including a senior dog. I've established my own clients weekly and on an as needed basis. I am open to all types of pets and needs. I work from home so I am pretty flexible during the week with my days. I will always take my work schedule into account before accepting anything. If in need of dog boarding, your dog would have to listen well to be in our unfenced yard (i would leash or put them on the long line) and they would have to be ok with cats. If I were to go to your home, I understand this is a super personal space and a bit nerve wracking having someone there, trust me I feel the same when I have someone take care of my pets! I will treat your space with respect and make sure to follow your instructions.

“Matt is great with dogs! Bruno can be challenging with new people (testing limits to see how much he can get away with) but Matt knew exactly how to handle him when he took him for walks. He arrives right on time and I appreciate how communicative he is. I am so glad we found Matt and since he lives so close to us, he became our go-to dogsitter!”


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!

Samantha S.

“I cannot imagine a better pet sitter or dog walker than Samantha! Samantha has been my best resource since getting my dog, Kaia, three years ago. She is incredibly knowledgeable about all things canine, and is always my first choice to watch or keep my pup company! Kaia absolutely loves spending time with Sam and gets so excited every time she sees her, and I love that I can trust Sam to keep Kaia safe and happy when I'm not around. No more guilt inducing sad puppy eyes when I leave Kaia somewhere because, when Sam is around, she couldn't care less about me walking out the door! If you're looking for someone to love on your pets when you are gone, look no further. Sam is the perfect choice and you will have absolutely zero regrets about leaving your loved one in her extremely capable hands!”

If Carley is watching my pets while I'm gone, I feel at ease knowing my pets are receiving "Rock Star" treatment!”
