About: I've been around animals my whole life and grew up helping care for pets of all kinds. From daily walks and playtime to feeding, grooming, and giving lots of love and attention, caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs, and I treat each one like they're part of my own family. Whether your pet needs a walk, companionship while you're away, or attentive care, I'm committed to providing a safe, reliable, and loving experience. My schedule is very flexible, which allows me to accommodate a wide range of pet care needs. Whether your dog needs early morning walks, midday check-ins, evening visits, or overnight care, I'm happy to work with your schedule. I strive to provide reliable, consistent care and will do my best to make sure your pet gets the attention, exercise, and companionship they need when you need it most. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision, and I take that responsibility seriously. I am dependable, attentive, and committed to providing the same level of care and affection that I would give my own pets. I'll make sure your pet is safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away, following their routine and giving them plenty of attention, exercise, and love. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your furry family member is in caring and capable hands.

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and absolutely love being around animals. I’ve also worked as a dog and cat sitter, helping with walks, feeding, drop-ins, and overnights. I’m very reliable and pay attention to the little details so your pet feels comfortable and cared for. I have experience with puppies and senior dogs, can help with basic puppy training, and am comfortable giving medications if needed. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always try to make it a fun, positive experience, whether that’s a good walk, playtime, or just extra cuddles. I have a flexible work schedule and am able to fit pet care easily into my day. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and some overnights (around my kids schedules), and make sure pets are cared for on a consistent schedule. I’m reliable and always plan ahead so your pet gets the attention and routine they’re used to. I always follow the owner's instructions closely, make sure collars/leashes are secure, and pay attention to any specific needs or behaviors. I’ll also keep you updated so you know your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. On walks I always pay attention to my surroundings to keep your dog safe. I'm not there to pay attention to your beloved dog, not get distractes by my phone or anything else.

I also had an old man chihuahua named Finn, and I’ll forever miss him. I feel like I speak dog, I know how to tailor my personality to meet the needs of any dog.

I have pretty open availability throughout the week so I have lots of time to hang out with your dogs! Let me know what you need and I should be able to make it work!

“I can’t say enough good things about our dog walker. She’s confident and experienced with large dogs and has the energy to keep up with my very high-drive pup, which is no easy task. Reliable, professional, and clearly loves what she does. I highly recommend to anyone, especially with an active dog.”

About: I have over 12 years of experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities, including large dogs up to 115 pounds. I’ve owned and raised dogs from the puppy stage through their senior years, so I understand how different their needs can be at every stage of life. I have experience with puppy training, reinforcing basic commands, crate routines, frequent potty breaks, high-energy dogs, and keeping younger dogs entertained and active. I’m also comfortable caring for senior dogs who may need a slower pace, extra patience, more frequent breaks, or simply some extra love and attention. What sets me apart is the amount of individual attention I’m able to provide. I work remotely with a very flexible schedule, so I’m home almost all day and can adjust my routine around your dog’s normal schedule. For boarding, I only take one family’s dog(s) at a time, so your dog won’t be in a house full of unfamiliar animals competing for attention. My home is also pet-free, child-free, and non-smoking, giving your dog a calm and comfortable place to stay. I’m happy to follow your dog’s usual feeding, walking, sleeping, training, and crate routines so their stay feels as close to home as possible. And yes, dogs are welcome on the furniture here! 🐶❤️ I work remotely in marketing with a very flexible schedule, so pet care fits naturally into my everyday routine. I’m home almost 24/7, which allows me to provide frequent potty breaks, walks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of attention throughout the day. My schedule can easily be adjusted around each pet’s normal routine and individual needs. Whether your pet is used to early morning walks, specific feeding times, frequent puppy potty breaks, or just lots of companionship throughout the day, I’m happy to accommodate their schedule as closely as possible. My availability is very open, including weekdays and weekends! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. In my home, it’s just my partner and me with no children or pets of our own, so your pet will have a calm, spacious environment. I only board one family’s pet(s) at a time so I can focus on their needs and help them feel comfortable and at home. My yard is unfenced, so dogs will always be leashed and supervised when outside. Inside, pets are welcome to get comfortable and are allowed on the furniture unless you prefer otherwise. I’m also familiar with crates and happy to follow your pet’s normal crate, feeding, walking, sleeping, and potty routines. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful of both your pet’s routine and your space. I’ll follow all instructions closely, make sure doors and entrances are secure, keep dogs leashed during walks, and give you updates so you know how your pet is doing. I’m happy to discuss any special instructions, behaviors, or safety concerns beforehand so I can provide care that is tailored to your pet.

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’ve had dogs (and horses!) in my life as long as I can remember! My childhood was spent sharing my home with herding breeds, but I’ve always loved large and giant breeds. As an adult, I became passionate about rescuing retired racing greyhounds. Our family currently includes Moon Pie, a retired racing greyhound. Sadly, Moose, our Great Dane, recently went to the Rainbow Bridge at 12 years old. I’m a runner and rower and love to be active with my dogs and will often take one on a run with me. I’m also a lifelong equestrian and have volunteered for a horse rescue where I fed, walked, and groomed horses. **services provided outside a 5 mile radius require an additional $5/day travel charge** I work from home full time so have a great deal of daytime flexibility. I’m a morning person and willing to do early hours or mid day walks. My weekends are generally busy but with advance notice I am often able to fit you in. Our dog at home enjoys walks, jogs, and a fenced in yard. We love hikes in the woods and staying active. I’d love to spend some time outdoors with your pet, too!

About: I am well-versed in pet nutrition, exercise needs, and I am committed to providing the highest level of care to ensure the physical and emotional well-being of every animal in my care. I'm currently in law school, so I'll have plenty of time to spend with your pets throughout the week. I'm available for house sittings and drop in visits. I'm very experienced with dogs and cats. I spend a lot of time with them at home and on walks. I recognize that every pet has unique needs and preferences. I excel at tailoring my approach to meet the specific requirements of each animal, ensuring they are comfortable, happy, and safe.

“Darcy is great with my 2 girls! On nights when I work late it's awesome to get some cute pics during the middle of the day letting me know they got out and had some fresh air. I could tell immediately she was a true dog lover! Very quick to answer any messages I send, checks they have water before she leaves, and always sends me a report of what they did that day as well as multiple pictures ☺ thank you so much Darcy!”

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!

“Thank you Christine for having the patience and putting in the effort it takes to get Puzzle to warm up to a person. He has a tough personality and I appreciate your understanding of that. Again, thank you for doing such a great job with him. Looking forward to the coming weeks!”
