“Elizabeth was amazing with my pets. I needed someone on very short notice and she was able to make it work and take care of them while I was away. She sent great, detailed updates with lots of pictures and was so caring and great with my furry little guys. Highly recommend her!”


“Daisy responded super quick to any and all messages. She sent a ton of great pics. She obviously stayed with our little cat Stevie the entire scheduled time if not more, and played with her a ton. We’ll absolutely be booking her to watch Stevie again. Highly recommend!!!”


About: I’ve been surrounded by pets my entire life and have spent the last 7 years providing care for dogs and cats through referrals from friends, family, and neighbors. What sets me apart is the personal attention I give each pet. I treat them like part of my own family. I take the time to understand their routines, personalities, and unique needs to ensure they feel safe, loved, and at ease while you’re away. Whether it’s a playful pup, a shy cat, or a senior pet needing a little extra attention. Your pet’s comfort and happiness are always my top priorities. My remote job allows me the flexibility to build my schedule around the needs of the pets I care for, whether that means early morning walks, midday playtime, or evening check-ins. Whether I’m caring for pets in my own home or in a client’s home, I always strive to create a calm, comfortable, and safe environment. I follow each pet’s routine closely, feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and any special instructions, this way they feel secure and cared for even when their humans are away.

“Molly was great with my cat who she boarded for close to two weeks. She sent me regular updates and videos of him. It was also an added bonus that she had her own cats which was delightful company for him.”


“Cheryl was amazing! I was so lucky to find her, I felt so comfortable leaving my baby with Cheryl. I got many pictures, videos, and updates while I was away, which was so nice… I could tell my baby was in great care :) will definitely be using Cheryl again and would highly recommend her to anyone!”


“Christy took amazing care of my 3 little kitties! She was perfectly punctual and gave my kitties lots of love and attention! She sent the sweetest pictures of them, which made being away from them for a week much easier! I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”


“I can’t recommend Stephanie highly enough! She took such wonderful care of our cat while we were away. She was attentive, reliable and genuinely caring. Our usually shy cat really bonded with her and he got a lot of pets and one on one playtime, which was great. The updates and photos after each visit gave us total peace of mind. Truly a fantastic sitter!”


“Esther has been visiting our dog daily for the past couple of weeks and we couldn’t have wished for someone better. Esther is reliable, caring, communicates with us, and sends us pics of Shadow. We will definitely continue to use Esther’s services. She’s excellent with our dog!!”

About: I'm a dog lover and owner who lives in valley cottage/nyack. I love dogs of all kinds and sizes. I grew up with and have owned 3 Labs, an English Bulldog, Jack Russell, Cocker Spaniel and Pit Bull mix, cattle dog and Great Dane and french bulldog. I started babysitting and walking dogs at 13 and never stopped! I recently adopted a 10 month old Cavalier King Charles who loves all dogs! I have a crate setup in my house already if needed. I work from home part time. So I have a flexible schedule as long as i am given enough time. l live in an apartment complex with outdoor space and a fenced in dog run. I feel comfortable administering medication including shots. I provide video and tons of pictures and your dog will be in good hands while here. Let me know if you have any other questions! It’s pretty much my hobby! I’ve been fostering this year, I watch, all of my friends animals and more. Always go out every few hours. Never left alone long. I treat all dogs like they’re my own, take them out every few hours or for walks, more if necessary, they have full access to the bed, couch, can use a crate if they like that more. Happy to adhere to any guidelines.

“Eric was wonderful. I have an old ragdoll cat; he took great care of her - feeding, medication, grooming, cleaning her myriad litter boxes - for the two weeks I was gone. It gave me peace of mind to have him in the house. I am so glad I found him - I will definitely use his services next time I travel.”


“Maria was the absolute best. Courteous, Professional and punctual. She did everything I asked for and more. If you need a sitter - HIRE MARIA!!! 10/10. My cat was in great hands! Thank you so much Maria!!!!”


About: I've been around all sorts of animals since I was a child, firstly with pet birds of my own, then volunteering at a farm for a number of years. Most recently, my experience as a veterinary assistant and being in school for a veterinary technician degree also gives me much knowledge in care for all sorts of animals, especially dogs and cats! I'm currently working at a veterinary hospital and have a few days where I can take time to fit pets that need attention into my schedule. Since my schedule changes regularly, my availability may change weekly, but usually does not impede on any pet that needs my attention. I have a variety of cages, leashes, harnesses, and toys for all size dogs if it is not available to the owner. Another benefit I can offer is the fact that since I also work at an animal hospital, if in the event where a pet needs attention while their owner’s are away, I have the access and contacts to help with any needs of that pet as soon as possible, with the permission of the owners.

About: I’ve only pet sat a sweet puppy named Forty for a day in my home. She was my first dog sitting experience and the experience was so rewarding that I decided to come back for more. Although I don’t have as much experience as the next person, I decided to try my luck with Rocer and hopefully the great pet community on here will help me learn a lot more! I currently work overnight hours so I have plenty time during the day to cater to our little animals needs. Most of the activities and feedings needed to help them grow, from my understanding, happen during the day and I would be glad to be apart of that. I have a fenced yard with more than enough space for physical activity and my neighborhood is pet and pedestrian friendly for frequent outdoor activity. I also own a car with ample space for transportation if need be.

Paige J.
“I’ve known Paige for over 10 years, and in that time, she has consistently shown herself to be one of the most reliable, compassionate, and thoughtful people I know. She is professional, responsive, and incredibly kind, with a natural ability to bring calm and comfort to both animals and people alike. Paige is a devoted pet owner herself and has guided her own pets through moves, behavioral challenges, and major life transitions with unwavering patience and love. That same care and empathy extend to every animal she looks after. She creates a warm, friendly environment and brings a steady, reassuring presence into your home—something that makes all the difference for pets when you're away. There are very few people I fully trust with the care of my own pets, and Paige is absolutely one of them. She takes the time to get to know both you and your pet, ensuring a smooth, personalized experience. Safety is always her top priority, and she’s incredibly attentive—asking questions, providing thoughtful updates, and sharing helpful reports so you never feel out of the loop. Most importantly, Paige makes her time with your pets count. Whether it’s playtime, a walk, or just quiet companionship, she ensures each moment is enriching, engaging, and full of love. Any pet in her care is in the best possible hands.”

Whether she’s sitting for my dog or dropping in to feed my cat, Janelle provides complete peace of mind while I’m away from home.”
