“Excellent communication and very thorough during first meeting - even remembered to ask about medications (good thing since I neglected to mention it). Happy cat & guinea pig upon our return. Will definitely book again!”


“Nicole took great care of our cat while we were away! She was very flexible, easy to communicate with and made sure to give us updates along the way. We would definitely recommend!”


“Dakota took great care of my yellow lab while I was away for the day. Communication with her was so easy, and when I checked my phone in the afternoon I really appreciated all the pictures and detailed updates from her drop-in visit. After our meet and greet, I felt so comfortable seeing how she interacted with our dog, and knew he'd be in good hands.”


About: Over 20 years of experience with dogs. Pulled my first dog from the ACC on 110th in Manhattan when I was 19 years old. Never looked back. I've been adopting, fostering, and rescuing ever since. Now at 41, I have my own boarding facility on a farm. ***Pick up and drop off service available*** Self-employed farm owner. My better half is also on the property full time. We are available and on call 24/7. Finding time to care for your dog(s) is never an issue. It is our pleasure to host your furry family member(s). We have individual furnished and heated kennels (with fenced outdoor runs) for our guests. There is a fenced play yard and walks are provided as well. If properly socialized and cool with the pack, all friends are allowed to hang in the house.

About: I grew up with two dogs in my house that I was the main care taker of. We have also had Guinea pigs and rabbits. My work schedule rotates. So I would be available different days In the week. My schedule will be updated on that app weekly for my current schedule I will care for your pets like they are my own. I enjoy meeting new pets and making them happy. Dog walks are my favorite!

“Sarah is simply the best. I've never been away from my cat for more than a few days at a time, but knowing Sarah would take such good care of her (feeding, playing, cuddling), and be so communicative with me gave me such peace of mind while I was away for 11 days. I cannot recommend her more highly!”


About: I have had dogs growing up all my life. I am currently s bio (pre - vet) major with experience from internships in animal care. But its not just about the skills I’ve gathered, I have always genuinely cared about the animals around me! Whether they are pets, wild animals, etc. I’m currently working part time, so I have plenty of time to fit pet care into my schedule!! Other than Mondays and Wednesdays, my schedule is very flexible!! I have two friendly dogs. They are both elders so they need rest and cuddles more than anything. When they were younger and more active, we would play fetch and take walks around our neighborhood!

“Candice is absolutely wonderful! I am so grateful she was able to care for my two cats while I was out of town. Highly recommended.”


“Eleanor was great! Our kitties loved her right away and we had total peace of mind while we were on vacation. Would absolutely recommend her and will definitely book with her again next time we are away.”


“Abigail was the perfect cat sitter. I was so nervous leaving my cats for so long but it turns out, I didn't have to worry at all. She came for a meet and greet, learned all their names, and followed every instruction during the entire two week period. I needed twice a day drop ins for one hour each. She stayed for the entire hour, played with the cats, fed them, pet them, cleaned food bowls, replaced water bowls and cleaned their litter. She took pictures of them every time and by the end, my cats were so comfortable with her. I would hundred percent recommend her if you want a sweet, caring sitter who you can rely on.”


About: I grew up with Golden Retrievers, I always knew I had a passion for dogs and animals alike. In my adult life I have owned 4 different breeds, I consider myself highly experienced with senior dogs as well as puppies; currently having my own 15 year old dog whom is thriving. I have 4.5 years of experience in the boarding industry where I furthered my passion and knowledge of breeds, dog body language, training and also have grooming experience. I completed the introduction to training course by the Karen Pryor Academy. I have worked with dogs in post op condition and am comfortable administering medications. I am also currently pursuing my AS in animal science to become a Veterinary Technician. I currently have availability Monday-Wednesday but this is subject to change. I would love to form a relationship with your pet and add them in for more time! Depending on your home I will do as you ask, if you have a fenced in yard great! If not leash walks can be so beneficial for your pet and equally as enriching and beneficial as an off leash walk.

“Michelle is simply just lovely. Prompt (early actually). Caring. Very sweet w our pets and attentive to our endless direction with our special needs dog as well as our cats. All of our animals are rescues from abusive situations so we are protective. She got that immediately without having to say a word.”


About: I grew up with a Yellow Lab named Jake and a cat named Garfield. I adopted two cats of my own about 8 years ago, one named Chevy Chase and the other is a deaf cat named Buster. I have taken care of family and friends pets whether it be housesitting and staying with them or just checking in daily. I work 8-4 Monday-Friday so I am available to pet sit in a home that is not too far from work and on the weekends. I understand that your pet and your home are very important and I am a reliable, trustworthy person who will leave your home spotless and your pet well taken care of.

“Andrea was very warm and the cats liked her immediately. She also made us very comfortable with leaving out cats and home in her care. Will definitely book again.”


About: Hello! I'm the proud owner of two very friendly Catahoula-mixes who are always excited for some more canine company if you need somewhere to board your dog. For those with very energetic dogs, in addition to the standard 30-minute walks I also offer 60-minute runs/hikes for those who are located near to any outdoor trails. (I run marathons so I'm always glad for some four-legged company). I work from home and have a flexible schedule. I'm based in Spencertown but I'm originally from England where I also walked dogs - I'm that rare breed of international dog carer! Please note, for those looking to board at my home, I live in the woods on 16 acres. Due to the geography of our property we have no fenced in area - we just don't need one. We have 20 free range birds, a free-range pet pig and our two dogs - a lack of fence has never been a problem. Understandably though, for some owners and some dogs this setup is not a good fit. If you have any questions at all about any of my services, then please don't hesitate to get in touch. I look forward to hearing from you. I work from home and have a flexible schedule.

About: Hello! I've been an animal lover my entire life. My dog, Zeke and I had a companion kind of relationship, built on mutual respect and happiness; it's something I wouldn't have traded for the world. He sadly passed away in October after 12 years together, so it would be an understatement to say I'm more than happy to pour extra love to your pup. ___________________________________________________________________________ This is a new offering as of August 2024. I have discovered that adventures are my ideal experiences and would like to advertise as such! Mountain hikes, kayak paddles (>15 pounds), and bike cart rides for the senior pups are my favorites, but I am open to other ideas/training requests! Paddleboarding, swimming lessons...the possibilities are endless. One hour minimum is preferred; gas and travel time to the adventure site are included. I have many mountains, lakes and trails on my list, so I do not see it as fair to charge you for that time! You will only be charged for adventure time. Depending on your pup(s) comfortability in the car, we may travel up to 45 minutes. You and I will decide together on location details, and this app will track where your pup(s) and I are at all times. Wilderness First Aid trained, canine safety versed, ample water provided, and pups will always be kept safely on the leash. Your pup will return home satisfied and tired! ____________________________________________________________________________ For a NORMAL NEIGHBORHOOD WALK, please book a drop-in visit and message to remind me that you would like a walk. Availability for walks and drop-ins will change after Labor Day. Unavailable most weekdays 12-3:30 I am a caretaker by nature, and have been a teacher for the past 4years, a live in nanny before that and most recently a grade school teacher. I'm going back to school to get my licensure. Honestly, care taking and fresh air gives me clarity of mind, and the chance to peel away from the screen helps process all the new information! I am trying to practice running again too, if your canine would like to train with me. Familiar with many local trails and parks. All weather is good weather! Experience with dogs with seizures and giving various medications. Feline friend as well. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry friends ! I am working at a school 12-3:30, and going to school online. I recently moved my senior dog up here, but I am missing all the adventures we used to go on! Caring for your pets gives me the chance to go where he can't. I do not offer boarding. When I am in your home, I try to leave it better than I found it. I have spent a fair amount of time farming and gardening, so plants will be well cared for if asked.

“Amanda was amazing with my kitties and Fish, she even brought in the mail. It was a huge comfort to me to know she had everything taken care of, even the things I didn't think of.”

Alister A.
“Some people just have a natural ability to connect with pups, and Alister is definitely one of those people! Incredibly caring, responsible, and always up for an extended play in the park, I couldn't think of someone that I would trust more with my canine companion than Alister. My dog always transforms into a Tasmanian devil of excitement when Alister comes by to pick her up, (and sometimes I question where her loyalty truly lies). I've always found that dogs are an incredible judges of character, and from the way my dog lights up whenever she sees Alister (and by 'lights up' I mean that she gets so excited, her tail wags so furiously that it becomes a weapon) just goes to show what a fantastic canine caregiver he truly is!”




Kimberly P.
“Kimberly is, first and foremost, a deeply kind person. She has a soothingly calm energy that I find puts both people and pets at ease very quickly. She is really bright...intuitive, thoughtful and very respectful. She loves being active outside in nature in her free time, especially hiking with her own dog Zeek. If you are looking for a pet service professional who will take true care of your animals, who will keep them safe, and who will be focused and present, look no further. As an animal lover myself, I recognize how important it is to find someone who you can trust and as someone who has known Kimberly for almost 20 years, I can tell you most assuredly that she will be that person for your pet!”

“I can’t recommend Hannah enough for any pet related care. My dog Sammy fell in love with her instantly and I know he misses his country life at her home. Sammy went on great walks, had lots of attention from her family, and of course enjoyed playing with their adorable Dachshund, Charlie. We loved getting pictures texted to us while we were away. Every time our family goes out of town we hope Hannah is available to take Sammy.”
