Dog Sitting in Dobbs Ferry

About: My name is Robert and I absolutely love dogs in every way. I have had dogs my whole life and know how to care for different breeds with wide variety of behaviors and needs. Dogs are just as much family as anyone else and deserve to be treated that way. I’m based in beautiful Hartsdale, NY, just steps away from a large park that’s perfect for walks and playtime. I have a fully fenced-in yard, providing a safe and fun space for dogs to roam freely and get plenty of fresh air. I also partner with two other experienced Rover sitters, which means your pet will always have round-the-clock care and attention — 24/7! Pet care fits easily into my daily routine — I have open availability throughout the week, so I’m always ready to provide walks, playtime, feedings, and overnight care as needed.. I live in a house with a nice big fenced in backyard and I also have a very large dog kennel that can be used if needed. Plenty of room to run around.

“Great with my very active dogs!”

About: I've been caring for dogs and cats since I was six years old and have always played an active role in their daily care. From feeding, walking, and grooming to providing plenty of love and attention, caring for animals has been a natural part of my life. At 16, I began dog walking for friends and neighbors, gaining experience with pets of different sizes, breeds, and personalities. Over the past two years, I've expanded my services to include in-home overnight pet care, allowing pets to stay comfortable and maintain their routines while their owners are away. I genuinely love animals and enjoy building trusting relationships with them. My experience, reliability, and passion for pet care help me provide a safe, loving, and stress-free environment for every pet in my care. I currently work a part-time job with a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time to pet care. I often have two days off during the week and am available in the mornings and evenings before and after work for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, and quality time with your pets. My flexible availability helps me accommodate a variety of schedules while ensuring your pets receive the attention, care, and consistency they deserve. Your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. Before caring for a new pet, I like to do a thorough walkthrough with the owner to learn about their pet's routine, training methods, preferences, and any special instructions. I believe consistency is important, so I strive to maintain the same structure and expectations your pet is used to in their daily life. When entering a client's home, I always proceed carefully, opening doors slowly and ensuring pets cannot slip outside. I make it a priority to keep fresh water available, follow feeding and medication schedules as instructed, and closely monitor pets during walks and outdoor time. If a pet is in the yard, I always check that gates are secure and fencing is safely enclosed before allowing them outside. Above all, I treat every pet with patience, kindness, and plenty of love and attention, helping them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away.

“First time booking with Caleigh, great communication and experience all around. One of our cats is almost by rule very slow to warm up to new people, has spent days under the bed when we have some houseguests, so we were surprised to see Noel out and about getting treats on Caleigh's first visit. Highly recommend!”

“Karen is the absolute best pet sitter. She has taken care of our two cats for a few years off and on -including a time we were away a few months. She is always reliable and always trustworthy. She goes above and beyond to help me feel at ease while we’re away. Both of my cats love her and are so happy to see her. I highly recommend Karen. We are lucky to have found her.”

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and have always been very involved in their care, from daily walks and feeding to grooming and play. I’ve also taken an active role in training my dogs, helping them build good habits and feel comfortable and secure in their environment. Being around animals comes very naturally to me, and I genuinely enjoy making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every animal with the same attention and kindness I would give my own. I work full-time during the day, but I make time in my routine for pet care because it’s something I genuinely enjoy. I’m available on weeknights and weekends, and I love using that time to stay active—whether that’s going on walks, spending time outdoors, or giving pets the attention and care they need! Pet care fits naturally into my schedule, and I’m committed to being reliable, present, and attentive whenever I’m with your pet. I provide care in my client’s home so pets can stay comfortable in their own familiar environment. I do my best to follow their usual routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions you provide. I’m attentive to each pet’s personality and needs, whether that means being active and engaging or calm and patient. I also treat your home with the same respect and care as I would my own—keeping things clean, secure, and organized. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for while giving you peace of mind while you’re away!

“Lorenzo did a wonderful job taking care of my dog, Lacey! He came over for a few hours, took her on a nice walk, played with her, and made sure she was comfortable and happy the entire time. It was clear that Lacey felt at ease with him, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. I’d absolutely recommend Lorenzo to anyone looking for a responsible and caring dog sitter!”

About: We are a family of animal lovers. We have a 10-year old Husky mix and an 11-year old long haired cat (but both stay in other parts of the house). Every time we go away we struggle to find trustworthy people to care for our pets and decided we want to help others in need. I work from home and my office is in the petsitting area so I get to spend all day with the pets and take care of anything they need. Our finished basement is sectioned off from the rest of the house and the pets have ample space to play inside, as well as a 1/2 acre fenced-in yard for their exercise!

About: I am a relative newbie to dog walking (have done so volunteering with rescue dogs) but have prior pet experience with hamsters. I am gentle, punctual, detail-oriented, and have a medical background. I will treat your pet with respect, will ensure safe practices, and will accommodate playtime if desired. I am also using this opportunity to help decide on getting a pet myself. I am available mid-day, afternoons, and evenings 7 days a week. I can be available at other times if and as needed. Happy to get started asap! I believe in being gentle but firm when the pet wants to do something different than the human. For dog walking I will possibly be in the client's home during pickup and drop-off only. I am respectful of the client's wishes during those times

“Ali was great! She was punctual and gave my 3month old puppy all the cuddles and zoomies a pup could dream of. She even snuck in some obedience training too! Will definitely be rebooking!”

About: I’ve been an animal lover since the day I was born. I’ve had many cats and dogs (even a couple bunnies!) over the years. Growing up, I spent time pet sitting for neighbors, even had a neighbor who had chickens and goats which I cared for. Currently the owner of two 10 year old cats, who are best friends with our two children. We have just moved into the area and currently my days are flexible. I am happy to come mornings after 8:30 pm, midday or evenings. I am happy to meet your pets and abide by any special instructions, including diet, that will be essential to their care. I understand some pets crave a little extra love and attention so I’m happy to stay extra time with your pet should they need it.

“I am so grateful to have found a sitter like Ange! She checked in on my cat while I was away for ten days and she provided me with thorough, thoughtful summaries of each visit paired with so many photos. My cat can be anxious at times and did have an off day so Ange was overly communicative with me so that we all were on the same page as to how best to help my cat. It was more than I could have asked for. Ange really demonstrated how much she cares about the animals she works with and I highly recommend her.”
