Lacey was absolutely fantastic with my boys! She made both the dogs and my elderly mother comfortable as well as put my mind at ease while I was away. Lacey is an incredibly caring person and provided regular updates. I would definitely book Lacey again!

Jessica was great! She took time out of her night to come visit Koda the night before she walked him and see how they did with each other! She was also a great walker and was willing to just hang out with him outside of his kennel and play with his toys! We will definitely be going back to Jessica again!

Brad was amazing with our dog! He was incredibly conscious and respectful about maintaining any routines and training we had already established with our dog and was great with our sometimes unruly boy! I was very impressed with how communicative he was and took very well composed and extremely cute photos to send us! I would absolutely recommend Brad!

About: I have been around and cared for animals for most of my life! Ranging from mostly cats of all ages to older dogs. Previously I’ve done home visits for check-ins and walks, to house-sitting for those on vacation. I am currently a full-time student, so I have a flexible schedule in between classes during the day and after 5 p.m. I can accommodate overnight care and I am available on the weekends! I am a full-time student, so during the week, I am unavailable... Mon. - 12 pm - 4 pm Tues. & Thurs. - 6 am - 6 pm Wed. & Fri.- 6 am - 11 am, 2 pm - 4 pm On weekends I am majorly available! Within your home, I would be more than happy to perform whatever duties are needed to keep your animals safe and happy. From kettling them if needed, to leashed walks. Just let me know what works best for you. I’m used to watching large dogs in un-fenced yards and having to crate one of them when I leave. Also used to either just take them out to go or take them on long 20-30 minute walks so they could get their exercise.

Chelsie you went above and beyond to make sure my pups were treated with royalty. I have never seen my dogs get so excited to see someone, not even when I get home. Chelsie supplied lots of pictures of the walks and the most detailed summary which was always a pleasure to read. She really cares and extremely thoughtful, would never hesitate to book with her anytime I need help. Thank you so much Chelsie!

Carol has watched our dog on numerous occasions for us in our home. We can’t take her with us when we fly cross country to visit family and Carol takes such good care of her. Her ears perk up and her tail wags whenever Carol comes up the walkway. Carol is always respectful of our home and takes such good care of our pup.

I absolutely recommend Nichelle to work with dogs of any sort. I know Nichelle to be loving and doting and VERY protective of animals particularly with dogs. I personally have left my dog with her occasionally and enjoyed seeing her interact with dogs, especially to be noted is that she has a big beautiful warmth about her that attracts neighbors and pets. Please consider her as a candidate for a position with your company, she will bring warm and love to any pet in her care. If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact me at (845 ) 649-9854 Sincerely, Kelly Cahill

About: I have owned pets all my life - I love both cats and dogs! Throughout high school, I worked at a dog boarding and daycare facility for 5 years where I provided daily exercise, feeding, medications, and spa services for up to 30 dogs at a time. I’ve been accepted to graduate school in the fall, so I’m currently working part-time through Rover while I prepare to start classes. Given that my schedule is so open, I can be very flexible for last-minute bookings! I have a reactive dog of my own, so unfortunately I am not able to host pets in my home. However, when visiting a client’s space, I follow the pet’s lead to ensure they feel comfortable.

Andrea is our go-to dog sitter and worth every penny. Our dog takes medication, is now deaf and sometimes goes on walks. Andrea is amazing, sends pictures all the time and makes our vacations relaxing because I don’t have to worry about any issues at home.

Caitlin Sheldon has a wonderful and natural way with animals and pets. She is very patient. Animals seem to come to her and they listen to her. She can get them to sit and stay and shake paws. They love being around her. Caitlin has rescued a few cats. And she has one dog of her own. Joey. They adore her. She would make a wonderful pet walker or sitter. She treats them like family.
