“Barbara took wonderful care of my shy cat! She was patient, kind, and sent lovely updates and photos. I really appreciated how thoughtful she was in dealing with my cat's shyness - it is clear that she loves cats and pays close attention to each of their quirks and needs. I recommend her without hesitation!”
“Timothy is absolutely amazing! I can’t recommend him enough. He takes such wonderful care of my two dogs, Tess and Nipsy, and it’s obvious how much he genuinely cares about them. They absolutely adore him and are always so excited to see him, which gives me so much peace of mind knowing they’re with someone they trust and love. Timothy is dependable, trustworthy, kind, and incredibly attentive. He treats Tess and Nipsy like they’re his own, and that means everything to me. Finding someone you can completely trust with your fur babies isn’t always easy, and I feel incredibly lucky to have found him. If you’re looking for a dog walker who is reliable, caring, and truly goes above and beyond, Timothy is your guy! Tess, Nipsy, and I give him 10/10 — five stars all the way! 🐾❤️⭐️”
About: Hi! I have a background in veterinary medicine. I have always loved all types of animals, and graduated with a degree in Animal Science. I have worked with cats and dogs for 10 years.I can provide walks, feedings, medication administration, and companionship. My job is pet care so keeping my schedule organized and structured is very important. I know how important routine is for pets, and I am available most days to provide care. I always strive to provide a safe environment for pets. My main goal is to make sure we are safe on walks. I’m always going to be on alert making sure your pet is secured on leash and that we are keeping a healthy distance from anything questionable on our walks.
“Maritza was great with my cat, Riley. She took time to meet Riley and get an idea of her daily routine. She provided daily updates with tons of photos and videos and a description of how Riley was during each visit. Maritza was very respectful throughout the process and provided me with a sense of ease knowing my cat was in good hands while I was away. I definitely recommend her to anyone looking for pet sitting services! Thank you!”
About: Most people feel stressed or guilty when leaving their four legged friends alone for a long weekend or week, but boarding them in the right environment where they are well cared for, feel safe, have structure to their day and are exhausted from play or just catching up on naps gives you peace of mind. Boarding your pup at this home will allow you to sleep like a baby and enjoy your time away to recharge or take care of business. The home is quiet, low key with plenty of room for your pup to stretch their legs out, have zoomies, bird watch from a window or enjoy the sunshine & fresh air in the fenced in yard. The resident dog is an older pup who isn't bothered by much and loves the company of a four legged friend. While Boarding here, walks around a quiet neighborhood occur 3-4 times per day due to the request of the resident dog unless you would prefer not to have this service and use the yard, play time is encouraged and belly rubs or ear scratches will be given as well. Please note, extra precautions will be taken around holiday weekends noted to have fireworks, during thunderstorms or cold weather when there is a lot of salt on roads/sidewalks. Lastly, the home often fosters dogs from the South who were rescued from being euthanized or out of a horrific situation, these pups are vetted & vaccinated prior to arriving and safety is always a priority. This is mentioned because your dog/dogs will be the only guest unless there is a foster in need and you will be notified of this. You can be personally assured that all the fosters that have stayed in the home arrived shy and after a few days realized they were in a safe place and have been sweet, loving & have become fast friends of the resident dog. Please note, if you are local or traveling to Beacon for the weekend or an event, accommodations for your pups pick-up locally or at the train station can be arranged. Please feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns so your pups stay is pawfect! Your pup will have 24 hour care while they are boarding, please be sure to provide any specific instructions for medications and check your calendars for when preventatives are due which can be given to ensure they are administered on the correct day of the month. Dog centered care is provided 24/7 until your return; experiences with all types of personalities, separation anxiety, shy pups, high energy pups, geriatric pups & reactive pups. While we can offer dog beds, toys and a crate if preferred, you can pack your pup an overnight bag with all you would like them to have while you are away as well.
“Kimmie was excellent. She took such good care of our kitties that even our shy one was comfortable around her. Everything was clean and taken care of when we got back home.”
About: I have a large animal science degree. BA in Equine science. I breed ND goats and Australian shepherds for over 20 years. I also groom on the side. I work from home so I’m pretty close by at all times. I’m originally from this area so I know my way around. I’m up early to take care of my own animals. I have separate fenced in areas for my dogs, goats and chickens. I have two small areas also fenced in away from my own animals. Plus I have woods with trails to walk in.
About: Hi. My name is Kiki and I love dogs!! I have years of hands-on experience working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I was a manager at a cage-free dog daycare for 5 years, where I handled everything from group play supervision to administering medications and managing daily care routines. I also volunteered for 3 years at Second Chance Dog Rescue, helping with socialization, walking, and basic training. In addition, I’ve provided trusted pet sitting services in Peekskill, NY for 5 years until the family relocated. I’m trained in pet CPR, comfortable administering all types of medications, and have a dog of my own—so I truly understand how important it is to find someone reliable and compassionate to care for your pets. I have a car, am highly dependable, and treat every animal as if they were my own. Although I work full-time and attend school, I have large daily time blocks available between commitments, which I dedicate to pet sitting, walking, and drop-in visits I care for every pet like my own, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while following their regular routine, my skills are administering medications, and giving personalized attention. Every pet has a specific personality so I try to respect that much like people.
“I can’t recommend Iliana enough! Her communication is impeccable, keeping me updated throughout the day with messages and adorable photos of my pups and chickens. It was such a relief to know my dogs were in good hands.”
“We hired Kalyna for a home visit just to meet her and have her spend a little time getting to know our dog. Everything went great, and we hired her for a home visit next weekend. We look forward to working with her!”
About: I am a petsmart professional bather! I work with all types of breeds and behaviors. I love getting to make your furry friend feel their best! I currently work part time, I have free time on my days off so the quick access to rover is a huge benefit! Wheather its a potty break or an overnight visit I am sure to be flexible with scheduling:) Three vital things to me are patience, tailoring to pet’s individual needs, and routine. Whether I’m caring for pets in your home or taking them for walks and drop-in visits, I make sure they have fresh water, meals on schedule, potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and plenty of affection. Pets thrive on consistency, so I do my best to follow their normal routine to help them feel comfortable while you’re away. With my experience working at PetSmart, I’m comfortable handling dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. Safety is my top priority, and I would love to keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.
“Kelly was very reliable and resourceful. She followed our instructions to the letter, including the locking of the back deck slider--not easy to do. Our cats were content and even the skittish cat who avoids everyone, came out to say "Hi" to Kelly when she came in--that says so much. I would indeed recommend Kelly and Rover for cat and dog home services when you need to be away from home.”
About: I love animals ! We have three rescues at home, and this gives me an opportunity to love other animals too! I have been a certified volunteer dog walker at a local shelter. Our dogs are a member of our family , and I know yours are as well. I understand how hard it is to leave our furry children, that's why I try to care for your dog as you would. I am in good physical health for walks and playtime. I am a resident of the Hudson Valley for over 30 years and raised a family here. I am mature, dependable and honest. I would love the opportunity to care for your precious pet if you chose me. I volunteer 2 days a week for 3 hours a day at a local shelter, but am available the rest of the time for your pet. My three dogs have a fenced in yard. With your pet, I will walk or take out in your yard, lots of cuddling too, whatever your pet is used to. Cats will have clean litter box, and cuddling.

Samantha did an amazing job talking care of our pets! She was professional, promptly responded to any messages and went above and beyond to give our pets the best care. She was so gentle and caring with them as well. We are so happy that we found her and she was able to help us. We would love to have Samantha help us with future care for our pets.
It's a leap of faith to try a new pet sitter. I really liked Zach when we met for the meet and greet, so I booked him and hoped for the best. Turns out, I worried for nothing. He arrived on time, followed all directions and was very attentive to Sam. He did a great job and I will definitely book him again.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Fishkill stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Fishkill choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Fishkill with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
