Dog Sitting in Highland Falls

“Brenda was very good. She did a drop in for my pups, sent photos throughout the whole visit, then gave a full update at the end. Really great!!!”

About: Animals are basically part of my DNA. I’ve been walking dogs and pet sitting since I was a child, and I grew up surrounded by dogs, cats, and other animals. I’ve also been riding and caring for horses my entire life, which means I’m very comfortable with responsibility, routines, and understanding animal behavior. I have hands-on experience with pets of all sizes, ages, and personalities—from energetic dogs who love long walks and playtime to seniors who need a calmer pace and extra TLC. I’m great at reading animal cues, keeping routines consistent, and making sure pets feel safe, happy, and loved. I truly treat every pet as if they were my own. I work from home, so pets are never left alone and are part of my daily routine. My home sits on 3 acres of private property surrounded by a state park, which means lots of space for play and long walks or hikes. Safety and trust are always my top priorities. I care for pets by treating them like part of the family, whether they’re in my home or theirs. I stick closely to each pet’s usual routine—including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and rest—so they feel comfortable and secure. I make sure dogs get plenty of supervised exercise, enrichment, and attention throughout the day. I’m attentive to individual needs, whether that means extra activity for high-energy dogs, gentle care for seniors, or patience and consistency with puppies. I also keep pet parents updated with messages and photos so they can feel confident their pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.

“Maryanna did an excellent job and Sam is looking forward to seeing her again ... many thanks”

“I cannot recommend Victoria enough! She was so wonderful with my cat. My cat is usually very shy around people she doesn't know so I was shocked to see pictures that Victoria sent me of her petting my cat or sitting with her! She clearly has the magic touch. She also dealt with her own emergency one day and still found a way to do a check in. I am so appreciative and will definitely use Victoria again!”

About: Hi! My name is Anjané, and I have 4 years of professional pet care experience through pet sitting, dog walking, drop-in visits, boarding, and house sitting. I have experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, including puppies, senior pets, and high-energy dogs. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I always take the time to learn their routine, preferences, and personality to help them feel comfortable and safe while you're away. As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to have someone trustworthy caring for your pets. I provide regular updates, photos, and communication throughout every booking so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is receiving excellent care. My goal is to treat every pet like family and provide a safe, loving, and reliable experience for both pets and their owners. Pet care is my primary focus, and I build my schedule around the pets in my care. I provide consistent feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, enrichment, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I am committed to keeping pet parents updated with photos and messages so they can feel confident their pets are safe and happy while they are away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow each pet’s routine, feeding instructions, medication schedules, and any special care requirements. My home is clean, pet-friendly, and smoke-free. For house sitting and drop-in visits, I treat every client’s home with the same respect and care I would expect for my own. I provide regular updates and photos throughout each stay.

About: I’ve owned dogs that I have actively taken care of for years now! Raising my own boxer puppy and helping out family and friends by dog sitting and taking care of dog their dogs for them! I’m currently a freshman at UB! My classes are pretty short and spread out throughout the day! I would have ample time to check on your dog multiple times day! I am also available almost every weekend! I can actively take your dog out, play with it, take it for walks! Whatever is needed to make sure your dog is in a good environment!

About: After the recent loss of my sweet toy poodle Clarice, I've been excited to care for a beloved pet once again. As well as having her for years, providing the care required for a small purebred (with purebred health problems), I've earned such accolades as caring for a senior Shih Tzu through end-of-life, and earning the trust of a roommate's skittish black rescue kitty. I have some experience with larger dogs, like training hyper pitbull mixes to settle down on walks, successfully cooking dinner next to mouthy doodles, and comforting anxious poodle mixes. Currently, I own an affectionate and opiniated polydactyl Maine Coon mix... or something. We're not quite sure what part of his genes make him grow like Clifford the Big Red... Cat. I have a particular talent for crafty dogs and cats, as many of the pets I've known have been too smart for their own good (i.e. a doodle smart enough to find the steel wool so he can eat it). Additionally, my other job is seated all day, so if your dog likes walks that are more like intermittent runs, I just might be the walker for you. I'm currently working on a very flexible schedule that leaves me with afternoon and late-night availability on weekdays, and an open schedule on the weekends. I am excited to give your pet plenty of my attention and give your home care as well. It is important to me to leave your space cleaner than I found it, when it comes to pet-related debris.

“We love Erica! We book her every time we leave town. She’s professional, reliable, and great with cats who need a little extra (medication, etc). Highly recommend!”

“Jonathan made a drop in visit to give Hudson a meal and some time outside. I received pictures and confirmation that Hudson was doing great!”

“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 been caring for pets for several years and have experience with dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities. Friends, neighbors, and family members have trusted me to feed, walk, play with, and care for their pets while they were away. I’m reliable, patient, and love making pets feel comfortable and safe. I can also help with routines, exercise, and giving lots of attention and care. I am currently working a 9-5 Monday through Thursday But available Friday- Sunday at anytime. If needed I can come after work if I am available I provide care in clients’ homes so pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I always follow feeding schedules, walking routines, and any specific instructions to make sure your pet feels safe, cared for, and happy while you’re away.

About: I am the most experienced, cost-effective, and caring pet sitter you will find. I am dedicated to providing worry-free pet care directly in your animal’s home environment. I work a flexible schedule as a barista and am working toward pet sitting full time, so your pet will always be my top priority. I approach every situation with extreme compassion. I assess every possible need and think through every possible outcome from top to bottom. I approach every walk, visit, and task with a mindful, in-the-moment approach.

“1st time meeting Brendan. I was worried my dogs would be nervous with but they immediately loved him. I’m so glad they were comfortable with him, he was on the floor playing and petting them. I’m so grateful my pups will be in good hands when I’m away.”

About: Over 15 years experience running my own pet care company. Trust in my services, and give your pets the best care possible. Loving and reliable. I have plenty of references and a resume I can email to you if wanted. I mostly work from home doing freelance copywriting, so have plenty of free time to do house and pet sitting. I have a reliable car too. I no longer care for pets in my own home, as I moved into a no pets allowed apartment. But I will treat your pets and home with the utmost respect.

About: My dog Chanel is my world so it would be a pleasure to share that same love to others. I’ve grown up around dogs between all of my family so this is a joy to experience. I currently work day shifts and very loyal to my schedule of care with my dog at home. It would be no burden or issue at all to care for others 4 legged friends. The same care I provide to my own as if she was my daughter is the same care I’d give to others pets. Any dog in my care is my family.

“Maxine did an excellent job taking care of my two cats, Misty and Brroklyn. She kept in contact with me daily and sent photos as well. I'm a happy owner.”

About: I was raised around animals my entire life and was the primary care taker! I haven’t lived a day of my life that didn’t involve a pet. My family is big on dogs and every family member has one of their own. I’ve cared for senior dogs and dogs of all sizes. I’m passionate about dog care and consider going into an animal field career! I have experience with cats as well and truly love all animals and aim only for the best care to our furry friends. I work Monday-Thursday 7am-2pm but other than that I have open availability. I’m able to drive and am open to all services. My summer has a lot of availability as I am a student. My care includes my personal knowledge but I follow instructions given as the owner knows their furry friend best. I have always lived with animals and have been there for the ups and downs for each of them. Pets will be given proper care including potty breaks, regulated feeding, and proper engagement to make sure they get all their boxes checked. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and cater to their needs!

About: My Husband and I cared for dogs of all breeds and personalities for over 5 years, from energetic Jack Russells to gentle Siberian Huskies and playful Golden Doodles. My experience spans everything from puppy training to senior dog care, and I specialize in creating a calm, fun, and safe environment especially in my fully fenced backyard, where dogs love to run and play. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me time and again to love their pets like my own. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just some belly rubs, I’m here to make tails wag and pet parents feel at ease. We have open availability and can provide care that fits your schedule whether it’s daytime walks, overnight stays, or weekend boarding. I work from home part-time, so your dog will never be left alone for long. They’ll get plenty of attention, playtime, and snuggles throughout the day. Your dog will feel right at home in my secure, fenced yard with plenty of room to play. I have two well-behaved dogs who are great with guests, and I’m happy to crate your pup if needed. I create a calm, structured environment that adapts to your dog’s personality whether they’re high-energy or a little shy.

“Rebecca was so polite and sweet. Rebecca and piper hit it off great. Instructions were no problem and from what we seen it was great visits , thankyou Rebecca for the help and we hope to have more drop ins in the future.”

About: Large dogs are my specialty, I enjoy walking and playing with them. I have plenty of room to play in the back yard or go for a long walk on a nature trail. I have experience in kenneling, potty training and leash training dogs. I work full time but have every afternoon and weekend available. I would enjoy walking a pet after work and am available to do overnight care. I have a pet friendly and private apartment with a large private back yard. I am very close to the black river trail which is excellent for dog walking.
