“Absolutely wonderful experience, both our dogs loved her right away. Veronica is extremely responsible, respectful and trustworthy. We highly recommend her. We look forward to many future bookings.”


“I’m happy to give a 5-star review for Walfredo! We left our three dogs—Bailey, Ellie, and Lottie—in his care, and he was absolutely wonderful with them. He made sure they were well-fed, played with them, and even joked that he “tired them out”—which is no easy task! Walfredo truly loves animals, and it shows. Our dogs loved him right back. We felt completely at ease knowing they were in such caring and capable hands. Highly recommend!”


“Jessica stopped by before our visit to meet our dog and become familiar with our routine, and sent us a nice update after her visit. Our dog immediately loved her and is excited for future meetups!”


“Veronica is a very sweet woman who is punctual, caring, and communicates well. She cared for my two cats while I was away. I’m very thankful I met her! She is great at what she does and I’ll absolutely hire her again. Thank you!!”



About: Hello I have been watching dogs for several years now. I truly love the companionship of dogs. I have watched many breeds of dogs including Labradors, Pit Bulls, Yorkies, you name it. I have many dog toys at home and a sizeable yard for the dog to go potty in. I also have a large home so your pet will have plenty of space to roam around. I will send pictures daily and let you know how your dog is doing. If your dog has any special needs or requires any sort of medical attention I will be there to provide the required assistance. I also have a small dog at home and she loves the company of other dogs. I hope to hear from you soon!

“Rhonda is a true gem...upon meeting her we knew she was "the one".Great personality and her love of animals shows thru...She took very good care of Jackson while we were away for 2 weeks . I would recommend her to anyone and I'll use her again in the future...”


“Sophia is amazing! This was a last minute request, and not only was she able to take care of our pups, but she was over and above what I asked! She is also so flexible and a very good communicator. Thank you so much for taking such good care of our babies!”


About: I’ve grown up with large-breed dogs, especially Labs, and have cared for two or more cats at a time. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me for over five years to walk, feed, and bathe their pets—including large dogs and bigger cat breeds. I’m comfortable handling active dogs, giving them plenty of exercise, and providing calm, loving care for all animals. I treat every pet as if they were my own. My schedule is part-time and flexible, and I’m happy to work with most schedules. This allows me to give your pets the time, attention, and care they deserve, whether that’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company while you’re away. I create a safe, loving environment in my own home and will be sure to do the same in yours. I follow your pet’s routines, ensure they’re comfortable, and keep them supervised during walks or playtime. Whether it’s making sure they get enough exercise, providing calm companionship, or keeping their space clean and cozy, I always put their well-being first.

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life — growing up with dogs and cats taught me not just how to care for them, but how to truly understand them. For the past 7 years, I worked as a personal assistant, and part of my role included caring for clients’ pets — from daily walks to feeding, driving to appointments, and giving them plenty of love and attention. At home, I’m a proud pet parent to two dogs and two cats, so I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members. I’m experienced with dogs and cats of all ages, including energetic puppies and independent seniors, and I adapt to each pet’s unique personality and needs. What sets me apart is my combination of professional reliability and genuine affection for animals. I treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they’re safe, happy, and well cared for — whether that means an energetic walk, a calm cuddle session, or keeping up with special routines. Pet care is a priority in my daily routine. I’m flexible and can accommodate walks, visits, or overnight stays on weekdays and weekends. Since I have a flexible schedule, I’m available to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day, including regular potty breaks, playtime, and meals. Whether it’s a quick midday walk or longer sessions, I make sure every pet feels loved and cared for according to their individual needs. I take pet safety and trust very seriously, whether caring for pets in my home or theirs. My home is pet-friendly, clean, and secure, with plenty of space for play and relaxation. I make sure all pets feel comfortable and safe by maintaining familiar routines and giving them plenty of supervision. When visiting a client’s home, I follow all their instructions carefully and treat their space and pets with the utmost respect. I’m attentive to any special needs, health concerns, or behavioral cues to ensure every pet feels calm and cared for. Open communication with pet owners is important to me — I provide regular updates and am always available to address any questions or concerns to give owners peace of mind.


About: I’m Rebecca, I’m an oncology RDN at New Milford Hospital. My husband & I are lifelong dog lovers! Growing up my family always had a dog. Our first was a German Shepard mix & the second a Great Pyrenees/Border collie mix. Additionally, I’ve worked at the dog boarding company “Pets a Go-Go” during the summers while attending graduate school. I am responsible, caring, affectionate, & have a deep love for all animals. I have experience with all kind of dogs big or small! I enjoy being with all kinds of dogs & exercising together. Unfortunately, we don’t have our own dog at the moment. So that means we have the extra time, energy, space & love for your special companions. We would love to watch, walk & play with your dog. We know how important it is to know that your buddy is being properly taken care of by experienced adults. We can provide care, transportation, supervision & exercise. We are available most days 24 hours/day including weekends and holidays. Our yard has a spacious grass field with plenty of room to roam, run & play safely. My husband Michael & I are a dream-team. Although I work full time weekdays in New Milford CT (8am-4pm), Michael works full time from our home. Together, we have more than enough time and energy to provide 24-7 care and supervision! We are also available most weekends & holidays! Our home is located in Patterson NY. We have a large well maintained farmhouse property with huge fields & plenty of room to walk & play with your dogs in a safe private space in the countryside.

About: Growing up, my very first chores were dog- related, so animal care has always been integral in my life. While I sadly no longer have any furry friends of my own, I am an animal person at heart. I’ve pet-sat for family, neighbors, friends, Rover clients, for pets of all breeds and sizes, and I’m very comfortable around any dogs. I grew up with 2 German-shorthaired pointers, and I was responsible for their care daily before and after school. As we (me and the dogs!) all got older, I was the primary caretaker of them in their senior years, so I’m very familiar with the struggles and ailments that come with elderly dogs. I am strong enough to lift most dogs if stairs are any issue- our dogs were around 60-70lbs. I have had roommates with cats who I’ve become very close with. I’ve always loved cats, so learning to care for them and earning their trust was so exciting. I’ve cared for the cats for a week’s time before, so would feel comfortable caring for cats as well. I love pet sitting- it’s nice to have a furry friend to visit since I lack one in my own family at the moment! Any client of mine gets all the pets and attention they could ever dream up. I am also very active, and I walk or run every day, so having a companion there is a bonus for us both! I look forward to your consideration, and if you have any questions about my experience or anything please let me know. I am currently between full-time jobs but keeping my calendar updated very frequently with my summer availability as I am hoping to pick up work either ongoing or on a one-time basis! Depending on the comfort of each pet, I always spend some time introducing myself and getting to know them at first. Spend some time petting them and getting them comfortable with my presence in their space, and next playing with them if they’re up for it. Once they know they can trust me, we’ll take the day ahead together and they’ll alternate resting, playing with toys, and walking outside. I also love to share photos with owners, so I’ll be sure to keep you posted on what we’re up to.

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life — big and small. I care for my two large dogs daily and helped raise my Boston terrier until he passed at 14. I’m comfortable with all breeds, patient with senior dogs, and treat every pup like family. Reliable, gentle, and experienced. I’ve built my schedule to prioritize quality care for every dog I look after. I’m available Tuesdays and Wednesdays anytime after 11AM, as well as after 6:30PM every other weekday by request only ensuring your pup gets dedicated attention, exercise, and playtime without rush. Whether it’s daily walks or drop-in visits, I balance my commitments so your dog always feels valued and well-cared for. Consistency and reliability are important to me—I treat each dog like family and make sure their routine is smooth and loving. Your dog’s safety and comfort always come first. Whether I’m walking your pup or visiting them in your home, I keep their routine, personality, and comfort level in mind. I follow any feeding, walking, or medication instructions exactly as given, and I take time to build trust with each dog—especially shy or senior pups. I always double-check doors, leashes, and gates to make sure your pet is secure before and after every visit. If anything seems off or if I have a question, you’ll hear from me right away. I believe pets feel safest in familiar spaces, so I create a calm, respectful environment where they can relax, have fun, and feel loved even when you’re away.

About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover and have two English mastiffs myself who mean the absolute world to me. I also live on a property that includes 3 horses, 2 cats and a flock of chickens so animal care is something I am well versed in and do with a passion. I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. Whether it’s high-energy pups that need lots of playtime or older dogs who just want a gentle stroll and some snuggles, I’m here to provide attentive, loving care that fits your dog’s unique personality and needs. I’ve cared for pets both in my home and in theirs, including feeding, walking, administering medication, and handling special routines or behaviors. I understand that every dog is different, and I always aim to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you're away. I treat every dog as if they were my own — with kindness, patience, and lots of affection. Whether you're going on vacation or just need a sitter for the day, you can count on me for dependable and loving care. I have an open schedule currently so there should be no issues with adhering to your pet care needs. Feel free to contact me with dates, times and locations and I am willing to come to you. I have a fenced in yard for my two Mastiffs. I am very familiar with kenneling dogs as well. My overall goal is to provide a safe environment filled with enrichment and care for your furry animal family members.


About: Need a vacation? Busy work schedule? Hire me and you will have an experienced dog sitter, with 2 out of my 15 years experience of working as a kennel sitter in a vet hospital. I believe “good enough” is not good enough. I want to make sure that your pets feel comfortable while you are away and I want you to be able to relax and know that they are being well taken care of. I have two fur-babies of my own and have raised many before them. I am very communicative and dependable. I have a flexible schedule which makes me an easier choice to take care of your pets. I am great with all ages. Whether you need someone to play, walk, run, or cuddle, I am the perfect fur-baby nanny while you are away! I am lucky to have a flexible work schedule that allows me to take breaks when needed to be there when your fur-baby needs attention and affection. Im happy to take your pet on walks around your home. I prefer not to drive the pet in my personal vehicle unless necessary to your needs.

I currently have one older dog and she was quick to notice the difficulty my dog had with one of her hind legs and was able to adjust her access to stairs. When we had 2 dogs, they both loved her and were extremely happy to see her. My current dog is crazy about her. I recommend her highly as a dog sitter.”

Also seeing Krysta with other dogs, she has a love for any dog that she is around & becomes instant friends with the dogs by playing and showing them love. I would definitely trust her with my dog and with getting her own to love each and every day.”
