“I would be so happy to have Elishamaria watch Chalupa again. She arrived on time, communicated well, was super professional, and our puppy was very happy under her care. She watched our dog at the hotel where we’re having our wedding celebration.”

“Petra was very communicative about how things were going during her stay at our home and texted us pictures of the dogs which made us feel at ease. We have multiple terriers and she handled them with no issues. She is is knowledgeable about dog behavior and understood each dog’s personality and how to relate to each one. She treated our dogs with kindness even if they were naughty. I would highly recommend her and will be hiring her again.”

About: I just lost my 19 year old dog in 2025. Senior dog care was my day to day for quite a few years so I’m well versed in that but can handle all shapes, sizes and scenarios. I provide a caring and attentive positive environment with indoor/outdoor access. We are also right next to Silver Lake Dog Park if your dog is allowed to go :). I work from home most of the time and scheduling is flexible. I am able to provide a routine that fits the dog’s day to day. Dogs won’t be left for more than 3 hours at a time but when I have a furry visitor, I try to not be gone unless absolutely necessary. We have a yard that’s fenced in with easy access to a nearby dog park. I take them on walks and to the dog park often and am able to offer supervised yard time.
“Fabulous dog sitter and house sitter. Bryson made sure to love our fur babies in our absence. we came home to happy fur babies, and a spotless home. We highly recommend Bryson.”


“We booked Taylor at the last minute when another dog sitter had an emergency—and she is a rock star! She understands animals and works hard to make sure she is accommodating their needs. So glad we found her!!”

About: I've been taking care of dogs since I was five years old and continued to get more dogs. I have dog sat for multiple friends and family rating from dogs and cats. As far as training animals, I did grow up with having to train them so I do have some experience. I am currently working part time and go to community college but will be able to manage and work out a schedule that will be accommodating. I have 3 dogs that have invisible fences outside so they can roam free without getting lost, going to the road, running off. I have a big yard surrounding my house so they are used to running around freely. When it gets too cold they come in to the house or garage with my father. I am used to walking dogs as they do get walked on occasion at home or if we have them out of the house. I do not off offer services that welcome pets into my house but I am accommodating as necessary and will offer services at your residency.
“Rachel is truly a gem! I can't praise her enough for the exceptional care she gave my big German Shepherd, Lenny. She was incredibly communicative and understanding, making the entire experience seamless. When I returned home, my house was spotless, and my dog was happy and well cared for. Rachel is simply fantastic—if I could give her a 10-star rating, I would in a heartbeat.”

“Katherine was a pleasure to work with from the moment I reached out for pet care. She is very professional and responsive and has a calm, competent demeanor enabling me to feel very comfortable entrusting my super sensitive terrier with her. She knew how to read his energy and respect his boundaries which allowed him to feel safe and comfortable in Katherine's care. I highly recommend Katherine!”

About: Hi! My name is Andrea. I have lived in the Hudson Valley for almost 4 years now, and have been working in the area off and on since 2014. I live with my partner, Mike, and precious pup Kona. I have always lived with dogs. And recently, have been thinking about getting a cat! I am an Occupational Therapist in a school district full time and love to farm and bicycle during my off time. I’ve done house sitting and dog sitting previously and enjoyed the work. I have my own vehicle and am used to commuting around the Hudson Valley for work and for fun. I wanted to get back into dog sitting and pet sitting to assist in getting a new car and to get to spend time with pets! I have always been obsessed with dogs! I show that through meeting as many as I can when out in the community :). I am active person, so long walks and playing is something I can provide. I am open to any requests you might have and am great at keeping in touch with pet parents. I can always be available through text, call, or email. I’m so excited to meet you and your lovely pets!! I have a full time job, so weekends are my only availability. However, I am open to discuss any special circumstances! I might potentially be more available on a long weekend, when I am off from my school based job. I would want to care for your pets as you would or how you would want. I am great with a schedule and specific requests.
About: Hello! As a 20 year old who loves dogs I cannot wait to get to know you and your pet! I have had dogs my entire life, I have successfully trained multiple puppies and taken care of senior dogs. I can give your dog the attention they need. I live in an area surrounded by woods and if wanted, two English cocker spaniels to keep great company! I know how nerve wracking it is to find someone who you can trust, it’s a big thing to let something so special be with a complete stranger. What sets me apart is my commitment to treating every pet like family. I offer responsibility, honesty, love, and reliability that you can most importantly, count on. Certifications in Pet first aid, Animal poison control, and Animal Behavior I have plenty of flexibility to focus on providing attentive and reliable care for your pets. I have the time and energy to ensure they’re happy, comfortable, and well-cared for! I provide a safe, loving environment for pets, whether in my home or yours. I ensure their routines are followed, offering care, comfort, and attention.
“Arsen and Sophia did a great job. They communicated well, sent funny pics and we returned to a calm dog who clearly liked them and was sad to see them leave. House was clean. Would hire them again anytime.”

“Alannah was great with Cornelius! She was prompt in her response on availability and coming to meet us. She projects a calm and natural energy with dogs! Cornelius loved her and so did we and we will not hesitate to book her again!!💕”


“Evelyn was a great sitter, very thorough with her questions at the meet up, cautious of dietary and medical requirements, very flexible and kept us very well informed the whole times and our house was immaculate when we got back! we'd hire them again in a heart beat.”

“Sophie was perfect in every way! She took excellent care of our Peekapoo, Gia for two consecutive nights while we were attending a wedding. Gia, who has separation anxiety warmed up to Sophie relatively quickly thanks to her experience with and love of dogs combined with her mild-mannered, gentle style. We had some delays due to weather and late starts, she was very accommodating, which eased the pressure. Would definitely book her again! Highly recommended:):)”

“Amy was so patient with our dogs - one of whom was on medication, and the other is very nervous. She was patient and communicative. I really appreciated her approach to our difficult dogs!”

About: I’ve had dogs since the moment I was born! I used to go to the dog park by myself. I’m more than happy to help take care of your pets. I will graduate college in May and decided to spend the summer in New York with my mom before persuing my masters. I am available all day every day for the summer! I will take care of your pets how I want mine to be taken care of. I will spend time with them, play with them, and obviously feed and walk them. My home has a very nice big back yard and places to walk nearby but we have a cat named Ernie who can be pretty protective and may not like any extra furry friends.
