About: I’ve had animals from childhood and love learning about all of their special requirements so that they thrive and are happy. I’ve received multiple trainings in pet first aid and never leave the house without being prepared. I’m also a founding member of my county’s animal response team and have received all of the federal emergency training that goes along with that. I take continuing education classes and work with my dogs every day in cooperative care and have successfully taught them, through gentle means, to accept things like nail trims and teeth brushing - a bit of a passion of mine. I have room in my schedule morning, lunch, and evening walks and feeding. I have limited space to take your dog to my home for boarding. I have plenty of property but would keep your dog on a leash when going outside. I have two dogs who are very dog friendly and make friends easily. They just love to chase the ball and love life. I am extremely conscientious; my dogs are very well cared for. I bring that same level of care to everything that I do.

“Tessa was such a huge help today when, last minute, we needed someone to walk our Sella. Sella clearly took to Tessa immediately. We’ll definitely reach out to Tessa again- thanks Tessa!!”

“Elisha always gives my little girl extra love and attention. Even plays with her puzzles when she's not wanting to walk. We will miss her and know that she will continue to be a blessing to all her future clients wherever she goes.”

“Lindsay is knowledgeable and absolutely amazing. Max loves her and also enjoyed his walks with her. She was able to give me a few tips on how to handle Max during his walks and tips to reduce his barking; everything worked. Because of my families work schedule Lindsay was able to let herself into the home and always ensured it secured when she left. In the next few weeks I need to give Max up due to work and relocating I mentioned Lindsay and she was able to recommend a few interested parties. I highly recommend Lindsay your pets won’t be disappointed!”

About: Hi, I’m Abigail! I recently moved back to the Hudson Valley to develop my career in the environmental field. I’m currently working part-time at a native plant nursery. When I'm not spending time nature and with plants, I love caring for animals! Growing up with animals in my household ranging from cats to dogs (to even turtles and birds) has given me an affinity to not just adore all types of animals, but has given me the proper skills to understand the responsibility of caring for an animal. I understand that all animals are unique in what makes them feel comfortable and loved and will always do what is best to ensure the safety and comfortability of your pet! For dogs: - A meet and greet would be a great idea beforehand to get to know both you and your dog, so I can provide the best service possible! - I love being outdoors as much as I can, so I plan to take your dog for long walks as much as I can! - As for potty breaks, I think three times a day is the absolute minimum. Once in the morning, afternoon, and before bedtime. However, if I am not working, I can take them out as much as you/they desire! - Maintaining your pets feeding routine is very important to and I take special care to be considerate of any special dietary care you dog needs. - Lastly, I know it can be hard for some animals to be separated from their loved ones. I will make sure they are feeling loved while they are under my care. For cats: - I currently care for an orange tabby rescue, named Hugo, who can be a bit needy, (although him being special only makes me love him more!), so I understand that cats can require a lot of attention and love, and I will ensure to give them plenty while they are under my care. - Cleanliness is very important when caring for cats, as the owner and of a cat, I know my cat can get upset if his litter box is not kept in pristine condition, and when caring for your cat I will do the same! - Diet is just as important for animals as it is for humans. Feeding your pet according to their needs is something I will take seriously. I work part time, Wed - Sat, however I can be pretty flexible to accommodate your schedule. If I am unable to meet the needs requested I will be sure to give as much notice as possible. In a clients home, I like to keep things tidy and work within the boundaries discussed with the client. Cleanliness is important to me and I appreciate staying in homes that are kept in generally good condition. I try to mirror the animal's usual routine in a home and prioritize everyone’s comfortability.

“We cannot say enough positive things about Roman! He is incredibly kind and responsive- We needed help with our senior yellow lab and had some unique needs for our pup and family while we were in the hospital with a newborn - Roman went above and beyond with kindness and flexibility to help our family in a crazy time, and was a true life saver! His love of animals is clear - we would recommend him to anyone and will absolutely ask for his help next time we need it.”

“Venetia showed up on time (a little early even to get the lowdown on my dog!) and helped burn some puppy energy! She took my 1 year old dog on a nice nature walk with beautiful pics :-) She was very patient with some naughty behaviors we're working on (jumping!) and her calm demeanor put my boy at ease to go off with a stranger. She responded promptly to my requests and was VERY thorough with getting all of Reshi's information. Will be using her services again soon and would def recommend Venetia for your pets needs :-)”

About: I’ve owned and cared for a variety of pets. Cats, dogs, amphibians, reptiles and beyond! I’ve been a healthcare worker since the age of 17 and have been a nurse for over 10 years. My full time job is flexible within reason to take some time to explore opportunities that provide personal enjoyment. I love animals and have been relied on multiple times to care for the loving pets of both family, friends and friends of family. As the owner of four dogs and one cat presently, I can assure that your pet(s) would be cared for with the same enthusiasm, compassion, and love as if they were my own. My schedule is flexible and depending on services required, so long as I am able to provide appropriate notice to my boss, can be rearranged. Looking to fill it with many canine/feline companions! I’ve dedicated many years to providing compassionate care to humans and now I’d like to give my compassion to those who love unconditionally. The cat has free reign of the house. Thanks to Pinterest, a nifty double decker made of bins with a space to eat, hide, relax and of course, do her business was built. Litter scooped daily and there’s always time.. for laser and play time! Four dogs whom are all on and off leash trained. Crate trained as well as house broken. All up to date on shots. If the situation allows, the dogs always come on just about every adventure apart from work. My partner trains horses so they are always enjoying running the vast paddocks offered at farms and playing with all of the horses and dog friends! Always stocked up on water with travel bowls and plenty of toys, we always have a blast wherever we go! Ps. They also love water! Fed two meals per day and of course bones and treats!

“Communications with Amy were fantastic and she won my shy pup over. She sent pictures and additional notes which were most appreciated.”

About: I love dogs and grew up around so many! Volunteer at numerous pet shelters and love visiting dogs anywhere I can. I love walking with them and just allowing them to enjoy their time. A tired dog is the best dog to come home too and I can provide that for you and while you’re busy all day at work! I have a few fur babies myself so I know how much caring for a pet means to someone. Excited to being this journey with rover and further my career in the dog industry. I can be available when needed and will always make time in my schedule to help if possible! Available on weekends and open to doing overnight care. I am comfortable in providing whatever your pet needs. Whether it’s long walks or just letting them run in the backyard while being watched. I am open to helping in whatever way I can!

“Simon helped my husband with our dog's walks after I hurt my knee. He was very responsive, always on time, and flexible. He has a very calming manner and Jack readily went to him and followed him out the door with no hesitation! I highly recommend Simon to care for your dog, and he will remain part of our pack! - Zelda”

About: Hello! My name is Patience and I have lived with many animals my entire life. I’ve ranged from 3 dogs and 2 cats at a time, to just a single chicken! My past neighbor owned a farm so I am very familiar with varies animals! I am a full time nursing student, but all of my classes are remote. I have clinical twice a week, but I still live with my parents so someone would be home with the pet at all times! We love pets and treat them just like humans. I was blessed with 30 acres so your pet will definitely be able to explore and run around in my care!

About: Hi, I'm Marceline! Growing up with a wildlife rehabilitator for a parent, I was surrounded by animals from day one. From bottle-feeding baby raccoons to gently caring for injured birds, I learned early on the patience, empathy, and responsibility that animals deserve. That lifelong passion turned into a career of caring: I spent 4 years at a cat shelter, helping to socialize, medicate and find loving homes for many cats. Beyond that, I've volunteered extensively at Farm sanctuaries and animal shelters, gaining hands-on experience with dogs, cats, pigs, chickens, and more! Whether your pet is playful and energetic or shy and sensitive, I'm dedicated to providing calm, attentive, loving care that meets their unique needs. I know how important it is to trust someone with your animal family. You can count on me to treat your pets like my own - with respect, reliability and plenty of love. Let's connect - I'd love to meet you and your pets! Because I have an open schedule, I'm able to dedicate focused time throughout the day for walks, feedings, play, medication and whatever unique care each pet needs. I plan my day around their routines, not the other way around - whether that means early morning visits, midday potty breaks, evening cuddle time, or sleepovers. I'm used to structuring my day with animals in mind, especially my own cats and hermit crabs. Being attentive to animals' behaviors and needs is second nature to me, and I always make sure they get plenty of love, attention, and consistency throughout the day. When you leave your pet in my care, you're not just hiring someone to feed or walk them - you're trusting me with a member of your family. I take that responsibility seriously. Creating a safe, calm, and loving environment is at the heart of everything I do. I closely follow your pet's routines, dietary needs, and any medical requirements to make sure they stay happy and healthy. Im experienced in handling a wide range or animals - including those with special needs, and I always keep a close eye on behaviot and well-being When I visit your home for your pet, I strive to create a low-stress environment where they feel safe, relaxed, and loved. From cozy resting spots to familiar routines and gentle handling, I make sure your pet feels right at home with me.

About: As a professional, certified dog trainer and k9 handler for the last 20 years I am the premier doggie boarding, sitting, walking and training in the Hudson Valley. Canine communication is our speciality and we love teaching our clients how to speak dog! I love your pet like our own and our clients become part of our family for life! We do not whisper, we translate. Our world revolves around DOGS. I exclusively offer walking, boarding, training, daycare and drop in visits full time. If it isn’t dogs I don’t do it! PS I also will love your kitty or farm animals too! We have a fully fenced in yard, live on 15 acres and have both crates and kennel runs for pups who prefer not to be as social or for in heat or intact dogs. We do have a toddler who is dog savvy and our pack of pups who love to play and entertain. We have a three floor house so plenty of room for those persnickety pups who’d like their space. When we travel to your home we learn their space and their routine to make the best experience!

About: I have been house sitting for about 10 years and have cared for all types of dogs and cats. I love bonding with animals and taking them for walks! Currently I work a 9-5 but am free for walks/drop-in visits on my days off and anytime after 5. Currently I am working a 9-5 but am free for walks and/or drop-in visits on my days off and anytime after 5. For the first two weeks of May I have off Sun/mon and then it will switch ( I will update my calendar when it does :)) I follow all instructions given in advance before meeting the animals. Then I introduce myself to them! After they are familiar with me, I play with, feed or walk them given their specific needs.
