About: I've had dogs my whole life. They're such a big part of me and I absolutely love meeting them. I'll follow any specifacation you may have for your dog. I love taking walks and playing with them. I will also feed additional pets that you may have or clean yards if needed. I am currently in college in the afternoon for an few hours on monday through thursday. I can stay at the owner's house if needed. However, I can also do visits to feed and let out if that is more comfortable for the owner. I often like to go on walk with dogs I am taking care of, they are always on the leash on these walks. I also enjoy going out in the yard to play with them. I am not opposed to crates.

About: Hi there! My name is Ellie, and I’m a passionate animal lover with over a decade of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I have pups of my own, so I know how much trust it takes to let someone else care for your furry family member — and I treat every pet I meet with the same love, attention, and respect I give my own. Whether your dog needs a fun walk to burn off energy, a drop-in to check on meals and snuggles, or full-on overnight care, I’ve got you covered. I’m reliable, patient, and fully committed to making sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet your fur baby and give them the care they deserve! I currently work full-time during the day, but pet care is truly a passion of mine and a fulfilling part of my daily routine. I’m available for check-ins and walks in the early mornings before work and in the evenings after I get home. In some cases, I’m also able to swing by during my lunch break for a quick visit, depending on location and timing. I also offer overnight stays, which allows me to spend quality, uninterrupted time with your pet — perfect for dogs who need extra comfort or company while you’re away. While my weekday daytime availability is limited, I’m dependable, communicative, and always make sure your pet gets the attention and care they deserve when I’m with them! When your pet is in my care, their well-being is my top priority. I understand that every animal has their own unique needs, routines, and personalities — and I take the time to get to know them so I can provide care that makes them feel safe, seen, and loved. You can trust that I’ll treat your pet like one of my own, with patience, affection, and respect. I’m mindful, responsible, and always keep safety at the forefront — whether that’s making sure harnesses are secure, sticking to feeding instructions, or giving them their favorite toy at just the right moment. I believe animals know when someone truly cares for them — and I make it my mission to create a peaceful, loving environment where your pet can feel completely at ease while you’re away.

“Christine responded quickly to a last minute request, communicated well, and took great care of our cats. She also took photos of both cats on every visit. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”

Spending time with animals truly brings me joy, and I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your furry family members. At home, I have a playful one-year-old Pomeranian who keeps me on my toes every day!

I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care, and I promise to treat every dog or cat as if they were my own.

About: I’ve always loved being around animals, especially dogs, and spending time caring for them. I grew up around pets and have always been the type of person who treats animals like family. I’m very patient, attentive, and genuinely enjoy making sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away. My schedule is very flexible right now, so I’m able to work around your pet’s routine and give them the attention they deserve. I’m also happy to send photo and video updates during visits so you can feel reassured while you’re away. Whether your pet loves going on walks, playing with toys, getting extra cuddles, or just having company, I’m more than happy to spend quality time with them and make sure they’re well cared for. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I currently have a very flexible schedule after recently graduating college. Right now, my main focus is studying for the MCAT, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time to caring for pets throughout the day. I’m able to work around your pet’s schedule and give them consistent attention, walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship. I care for pets in their own home where they are most comfortable and familiar with their surroundings. I always make sure pets feel safe, relaxed, and cared for by following their normal routines as closely as possible. I pay close attention to instructions regarding feeding, medications, walks, playtime, and any special needs. I also make sure owners stay updated with pictures and messages so they can feel reassured while away.

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!

“We love having Darcy visit our cat, Happy, when we need to be away for a few days. She is dependable and reliable and makes sure to spend time with her. She makes Happy…happy!”

About: My love affair with animals started at 8 years old. Fast forward many years later and my passion for animals has only grown. I have 3 fur babies of my own and plan on adding more someday! I am available on weekends but also willing to make arrangements if needed for longer periods. Simply reach out and advise me of your needs. I will try my best to accommodate. Pups are a part of our family so their happiness and safety are mist important to me. Finding the best and safest way to accommodate our fur babies is paramount and varies from owner to owner.

“Amazing responses! Booked super last minute and able to accommodate my work schedule! Will absolutely book again!”
