Pet Sitting Haverstraw

“Elizabeth deserves 6 stars!! This was our first experience with Rover.com and Elizabeth. We can’t say enough about how wonderfully she cared for our 16 week old puppy ! She arrived promptly for the two Thanksgiving evening visits and followed our instructions to the T. She gave our “Neo” lots of love and sent us lots of pics and updates so we were able to enjoy our evening away without worry. She’s awesome! I will definitely ask Elizabeth to puppy sit for us again!”

“Kathleen is always a pleasure to work with. She is accommodating when asked for something outside of the normal pet sitting. I trust her in my home implicitly. Such a great find and an asset to Rover”

About: I grew up always surrounded by pets. I have experience walking, feeding and bathing dogs ever since I was a little kid. I’m also experienced with kittens because of my own three that I have cared for. Im working part time past 5pm so Im usually always available during the afternoons and mornings for visits. Including during weekends. I don’t mind anytime up to 5pm. I can easily crate and uncrate dogs as well as walking and feeding. I’m relatively experienced in those areas and there’s not much I can’t do. I can also care for cats, even clean litter boxes

“Patricia was amazing with Hailey. It is obvious she has years of experience with dogs. My German Shepard is 12 years old and was taken care of with love and compassion. I will be using Patricia in the future!”

“Katrina shows so much love and care to our Bernedoodle Kylo. She is responsible and is always on time for drop in visits with him so that he gets the proper care while we are away. I highly recommend Katrina!!! A+++++++”

“Stephanie is wonderful, and I've been meaning to write a review for a while now. I recently moved to the area, have two dogs with complex needs & have felt so comfortable leaving them in Stephanie's care. She's been helpful with medication administration, and has provided individually tailored support to both my elderly dog, and younger pup with behavioral difficulties. The dogs have a history of scuffles, and Stephanie has been able to follow along with the complex safety plan that I have in place. I've had a previous sitter reject my rescue pup because the dog was too traumatized and anxious. Not Stephanie! She was really confident with my anxious dog and was patient, participating in multiple visits just to get to know her prior to taking on dog walking while I wasn't home. Completely 100% trust and recommend her!”

About: I’ve had all sorts of pets my entire life. Currently, I have two rescue dogs, 2 kittens we recently adopted and a guinea pig. I have taken care of my neighbors dog and friends cats when they needed me. Your pets are safe with me and I look forward to meeting them. I am a stay at home mom, so I am available Monday thru Friday from 8:30-2:30, depending on how far you are from me. I am flexible with my time. I would take care of your pets however you are comfortable with. I can stay with inside and take them for walks. If you like, I can give them treats when I’m there. Just tell me what you need and I will be sure to get the job done

About: After becoming an owner to a reactive, human-aggressive pit mix in my early 20s, I developed a deep passion for understanding dogs—not just through training, but through their psychology, genetics, and biological needs. That experience taught me that behavior is often a reflection of a dog’s overall wellbeing, and that dogs thrive when they have opportunities to fulfill the instincts and needs they were bred for. As a mom, I also understand how difficult it can be to balance your dog’s needs with family, work, and everyday life. That’s why I founded Fulfilling Canine: to help busy families give their dogs a more enriching, fulfilling life while building a deeper understanding of their individual needs. I believe every dog is unique, and my approach starts with meeting each dog where they are. I consider the bigger picture—including genetics, environment, physical and psychological needs, stress, learning history, and the relationship between dog and handler—rather than simply addressing behaviors in isolation. My training approach is individualized and balanced, with a strong emphasis on relationship-building, play, engagement, communication, and trust. My goal isn’t just a dog who can perform commands, but a confident, fulfilled dog who genuinely enjoys working and experiencing the world with their person. **Services I offer:** 🐾 Structured Boarding & Walks 🏡 Drop Ins 🥾 Adventure Hikes 🎓 Day Training Whether your dog needs more enrichment, structured exercise, training support, or simply more opportunities to experience the world, I’m here to help them live a more fulfilling life. I am currently a SAHM so I have all of the availability to dedicate to providing your dog with enriching, educational, and fun experiences while they are in my care. My yard is fully fenced and I take your dog’s safety very seriously. They would never be left unattended in my home or yours. Fulfilling your dog while they are in my care is my top priority. Their schedule will be based upon their individual needs versus your training goals for them. I am big on breed specific fulfillment so your dog’s stay will usually include decompression time, 1-2 walks, structured play, and a training session if desired. I can also provide treadmill time and access to field trips/pack walks if desired.

About: I grew up in a dog‑loving home and had the privilege of caring for several breeds over the years — first a Boxer, then a Siberian Husky, later a German Shepherd/Malamute mix, and eventually a Pomeranian. Being around such different personalities taught me how to understand dogs of all sizes and temperaments. Because of that experience, family, neighbors, and friends have always trusted me to check in on their pets, feed them, play with them, and make sure they feel safe and cared for. I also accept rabbits and small pets for boarding. Owners must provide cage, food, and supplies. Because I work from home, I’m able to give your dog consistent attention and care all day long. Whether it’s playtime, potty breaks, or just keeping them company, I’m always close by. I also offer 24/7 boarding availability, ensuring your pet has a safe, supervised environment at all times. Your dog will have plenty of room to feel at home here. I live on an acre of land with a dog run and a peaceful neighborhood that’s ideal for daily walks. There’s even a small pond with geese right across the street, which many dogs find entertaining. Inside, the living room is designated as comfortable, pet‑friendly space where your dog can relax. I also provide a crate for dogs who prefer a cozy, enclosed sleeping area.

About: In addition to having my own family dog, I grew up taking care of other family & neighbors’ pets. This included regular walks, feeding, and overnight care. I’ve now been doing Rover for the last 6 years, taking care of dozens of dogs and cats, most of which return for recurring care — from drops ins to daycare and week+ long overnight stays. I work from home full time, so I can spend time with and be available for pets throughout the entire day. I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to stay with pets all day or drop in as needed. I’m a very attentive pet lover - always playing with/petting them. Odds are I’ll pay more attention to them than my job during work hours.

“I have used April once, but intend to use her again soon. She is responsive and thorough whenever I contact her. She sent an adorable photo of my dog from her drop-in visit. I feel overall that I can trust that she will be there when she needs to be and do what I have asked of her.”

About: I’ve been a dog owner and dedicated dog caregiver for over 20 years, and caring for dogs has always been a huge part of my life. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, including large and strong breeds such as Akitas, German Shepherds, and other high-energy breeds. I’m comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities, ages, energy levels, and needs, and I understand how important it is to make each dog feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re away from their family. I also volunteer with Guiding Eyes for the Blind, helping with their puppy training program. As part of the program, I have the opportunity to welcome a future guide dog puppy into my home for several days at a time and help with their training, socialization, routines, and everyday experiences. This has given me additional experience with consistency, positive reinforcement, following specific care instructions, and helping dogs build confidence in new environments. Whether your dog needs lots of playtime and exercise, some extra cuddles, structured routines, or simply a calm and loving place to relax, I’m happy to provide individualized care based on what works best for them. My goal is for every dog in my care to feel like they’re right at home! I work full-time, but my schedule gives me plenty of flexibility for pet care. I’m available for morning walks before work, evenings after 7 PM, and anytime on weekends. I’m also available for overnight care and boarding. I have years of experience caring for dogs and currently care for two dogs as part of my full-time childcare position. I’ve also had dogs of my own in the past. I live in a very pet-friendly apartment community with beautiful walking trails and plenty of places to explore. I’ll provide your dog with a safe, loving, comfortable environment, along with plenty of exercise, attention, and companionship. I’m happy to follow your dog’s usual routine and care instructions so they feel comfortable and at home while you’re away.

“This was our first time having Daniel and we were very pleased hoe responsible he was, and how he remembered our directions regarding how to train Luigi on The Walk. We definitely will reach out to Daniel the next time we need coverage.”

About: I have always loved animals and helping others. I’ve cared for many different pets over the years while working as a nanny. I even volunteered at a veterinarians office where I would help care for sick or abandoned pets. I am in college, which gives me plenty of time to care for your pet. My schedule is extremely flexible so I’m available most days/times. I am there to ensure your pet stays safe and happy, so I will always ask for your pet’s individual preferences that way I can support them in the best way possible.

“Carrie was very happy with the care that Maria gave her. When I got back after a 10 day trip, Carri was in great spirits and eating well. This was a fantastic experience for me, especially receiving pictures of Carrie at the care visits. Thank Maria!”

Additionally, our 6 year-old daughter has enough energy to provide tons of additional fetch and chase time. We also have a 1 year old that can’t wait to get in on the action!

We can also administer medications and prepare specialized meals when needed. We have a large backyard that allows for plenty of jaunts and potty breaks.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since the age 5 when I was gifted my first pup. I love my dogs as if they were my children. I have 10yr old 80lb boxer mix and a 9mo poodle. Servicing Rockland County, New York and Bergen County New Jersey I’m currently in school to be a certified life coach. My husband owns a cleaning business and I help him from time to time. I would like to fill in my days getting outside and caring for your fur babies. I can care for your dog at home as instructed. I also have a medium poodle that is fully vaccinated and in great health that I can bring along to play with your pup.

About: I’ve had dogs since I was four years old, and they’ve always been a huge part of my life. Caring for them has never felt like a chore—it’s something I truly love. I’ve always had a special connection with dogs, and my friends and family joke that I’m a “dog whisperer” because dogs seem to gravitate toward me everywhere I go. Whether I’m on vacation or just out running errands, I can’t resist stopping to say hello to every dog I see. I’m also the kind of person who goes to a party and ends up spending most of my time playing with the dogs instead of socializing! I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need extra patience and attention. My childhood dog recently passed away after 16 wonderful years, and during her senior years I gave her daily medication, made sure our walks were comfortable with plenty of breaks, and, most importantly, gave her all the love and care she deserved. I also have a senior Chihuahua-Poodle mix who needs daily medication and occasional help getting onto the couch or bed, so I’m very comfortable caring for older dogs and understanding their unique needs. I also have a younger dog that I raised and helped potty train, and I’ve taught her several fun tricks, giving me experience with puppies and basic training as well. What sets me apart is that I treat every dog as if they were my own. I pay close attention to their personality, energy level, and routine to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. My goal is to make every pet feel happy and every owner feel confident knowing their furry family member is in caring hands. Pet care has always been part of my daily routine. I have two dogs of my own, so every day includes feeding them, taking them on walks, giving one of my senior dogs his daily medication, playing with them, and making sure they get plenty of love and attention. Spending time with dogs is something I genuinely enjoy, so caring for pets doesn’t feel like a task—it’s one of the best parts of my day. I make time in my schedule to ensure every pet gets the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to keep their routine as consistent as possible. I’ll follow all feeding, walking, medication, and potty schedules, provide plenty of playtime and affection, and make sure they always have fresh water. I understand that every pet has a different personality, so I take the time to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. I’ll also treat your home with the same care and respect I would my own and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind.

About: What sets me apart is how deeply I care about your dog’s emotional experience when you’re not there. I know how much trust it takes to leave your dog with someone else, and my intention is always to create a sense of calm, safety, and genuine love. I pay close attention to their energy, their needs, and their comfort, so they never feel anxious or alone. With my background working with Guiding Eyes for the Blind and as a veterinary nurse, I bring both intuition and experience to every interaction, whether I’m caring for a playful puppy or a gentle senior. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine because I already live a structured, active lifestyle centered around consistency and responsibility. I walk my own dog multiple times a day and spend time outdoors on local trails and along the Hudson River. I plan my schedule intentionally, which allows me to be reliable, punctual, and fully present for each dog I care for. This is not something I squeeze in. It is something I prioritize and build my day around. I care for every dog as if they were my own, with a strong focus on making them feel safe, calm, and loved in their environment. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I follow their routine closely so nothing feels unfamiliar or stressful. I pay attention to their behavior, energy, and comfort, and adjust my approach to meet their individual needs. I keep communication open with owners so they always feel at ease, knowing their dog is not just being watched, but truly cared for.
