“Eryn did a wonderful job caring for our 3 fur babies. She was very communicative making she we were up to date with everything going on at our house while we were away. She was patient with our pups when they acted out and made sure to let us know they were misbehaving. Not only that but when we got back from our trip the house was spotless and she even washed the bedding. 10/10 would recommend for your sits.”
“Vicky house sat for us while I was overseas for 11 days. She stayed in touch and communicated very well. I appreciate the care she gave to my dogs and my home. It gave my peace of mind to know she was there. I would definitely recommend her services 🙂”

Currently I have very open availability, typically get my day started at 9:30am and love being active throughout the day. Pet friendly apartment and neighborhood. I will follow all safety precautions and instructions given. I have a walking path around my apartment. There is a lot of space for pets to roam around.
“Kristina is absolutely wonderful. We booked her kind of last minute as our previous sitter fell through. She was accommodating and made our anxious dog comfortable while she stayed in our home with him. I highly recommend Kristina & will absolutely book her again in the future if she is available.”
About: I am in the Middletown- goshen area of Orange County and can’t board any animals at our new home. I prefer a meet and greet before booking and have excellent references. I can walk, spend time with , and play with your dogs and/or cats. I’m experienced with administering medications to both. I have references from my customers in Sullivan county where I used to live if needed . Recently retired I now have a very open schedule for your vacations or weekend needs. I have been an Eagle nest monitor for the NYDEC from 2011 - 2019 on the Delaware River and on Yankee Lake NY 2013- 2022 and have been involved in animal rescue . *That means I have both domestic animal and wildlife experience. I have been a local volunteer and continue to involved in my community. I am newly retired and can come anytime that fits into your schedule . Hopefully I can be the person you call for your vacation or special occasions. Sadly, I no longer have a place to board any animals. But I do have some great references and would provide them upon request. I do have a medium size pup of my own I can bring if you have a friendly dog.
“Robbie watched our 3 dogs and our cat for 9 days at our home. One of our dogs is a 5mth old Anatolian Shepherd and he is a handful. Robbie took such great care of not only our animals but our home too! She would also send us pictures and kept us updated on our fur-babies. I truly feel this was our 1st vacation worry free. We couldn’t be happier with the choice we made. If you need a trustworthy and reliable pet sitter…. I would definitely recommend Robbie. We are very thankful for her and we would definitely be using her again.”
About: I’ve been taking care of pets my entire life, and my family and friends look to me if they need me to dog sit (or pet sit) when they’re away or unavailable. I love animals, and so getting to take care of furry friends is an absolute treat!! I’m currently attending college, so monday and wednesday mornings im out of the house from 8-12. any other time, if given enough notice, i can be available for you and your pets! I live in a family home with my dog daisy, who is very friendly and about 14 years old now. She never fails to be entertained, and I love her with all my heart. I will do the same for your pets :)
“Nicole watched our cats for our wedding and because of it we had nothing to worry about on our special day. Five stars does not cut it when it comes to how incredible Nicole is!”
“Michael is a wonderful dog sitter! He stayed at our home for 3 nights, and took great care of our 3 pups. We received multiple updates with photos daily. We will absolutely ask Michael to dog sit for us again.”
About: Hi I’m Mallory! I genuinely love caring snd spending time with animals and I get paid too? AMAZING!! Sign me up!! :) This is my full-time job and it has been for years. My availability is completely open. I am available for you anytime any day. I can accept last minute bookings, late night bookings , whatever you need!! I am energetic and fun but also patient and responsible I have owned and cared for dogs & cats my entire life. I’ve always considered myself a dog person until I got my own cat & fell in love. I love all animals, not only pets but also wildlife, I once had a pet Raccoon named Patches, don’t worry he stayed outside. He was still my buddy. I feel love and compassion for every single animal. I believe there is no such thing as a bad animal. Being an animal lover is a huge part of my identity. I have volunteered at shelters on and off for 10+ years. Through my experience volunteering, I have also received dog training by a professional dog trainer. Rescuing stray cats from the streets and finding them loving homes is also a passion of mine! To this date I am very proud to say I have helped so many stray cats and kittens find their forever home! I have fed, walked and cared for every size & every breed of dog/cat you can think of, no matter how sweet or how difficult, I truly believe I have never met a “bad” one. Growing up my family and I apopted many senior dogs that we loved until they’re last days. Through adopting and caring for senior dogs/cats I have gained experience in administering medicines, changing diapers and recognizing & providing specialty care catered toward each individual dog. I walk around with my purse filled with cat treats and food to feed the strays around my neighborhood:) They say dogs/cats are amazing judges of character so why not set up a meet and greet with me & let your pet decide :) I am so fortunate to be able to do Dog walking/sitting as my full time job, I have my regular customers that I walk/drop in on through out the day, However I am always accepting new clients! My availability is very open, any day , any time, as early or as late as you need. I am able to arrange my other jobs in a way that I can always fit you in! If my availability says open than the appointment is all yours! I am also able to take appointments at the very last moment most of the time so for all you last minute planners please do message me! I live in Goshen, NY so my arrival time would be based on how far your home is located from this point.! Meet & greets are always free. Making sure you are comfortable is my #1 priority. If you are leaving your dog in my care , I want you to feel at ease and totally comfortable. I know how nerve wracking it can be to leave your pet alone with a stranger so anything I can do to ease your mind and make you feel more comfortable, I will happily do! :) I am currently not providing services out of my home but I do provide house sitting services in your home. House sitting in your pets environment is a great alternative to boarding. Pets are way more comfortable in their home & receive so much more one on one time and attention.
“Emma has been great with Augie. We’ve had her for walks and housesitting. She keeps him very entertained and very happy and we get lots of fun pictures! She treats him like he’s her own 😊”
About: I usually work with shy, aggressive or fearful dogs or cats. It can take weeks, months or years to befriend them but when you do it's extremely rewarding, especially when an animal someone deems "dangerous" comes out to be the biggest sweetheart. I have tons of patience and I believe every species of animal deserves love and respect. As humans, it's our duty to be the voices and guardians of the animals in our care. They look to us for comfort, guidance, love and peace. That's why I do anything in my power to donate or volunteer at animal shelters because every animal should know that there's humans out there that actually care about their well being. Working with animals is a great career for me. Update; 8/2020 I’ve been volunteering and working with pets as a professional pet care provider for five years now. Through my journey I’ve learned pet CPR and gained dog training knowledge through Poochpals llc as well as worked as a dog handler at walterspetstyles. I’m currently working on becoming a certified dog trainer and furthering my knowledge on Pet care. At Poochpals we believe in being a friend for life so I’m definitely bringing our motto into the field and looking to become a furever friend for your pets. If you’re ever in need of an actual PROFESSIONAL pet care provider, look no further! I also have basic training knowledge so don’t be surprised if your pup or cat comes back knowing a few new tricks 😂 I have open availability Monday-Sunday. I look forward to meeting you and your pups! My dog, Odin, loves to make new friends of all species. Updates:4/7/2026 Hello friends! I would not be at 29 Hanford anymore due to instability, so I’m moving my business down to NYC before heading to PA. We have multiple fences in house and around the property. Pups are also supervised 24/7 and we have a designated dog room just for them. Back porch is also secured with gates. Dogs aren’t allowed on the lawn without human supervision and a 20ft leash. Lawn is fenced. We have strict safety procedures when it comes down to pets and children.
About: I’ve had and cared for my own dogs for the past 6 years and have loved dogs for as long as I can remember. Growing up around dogs taught me how important patience, consistency, and attention are to making pets feel safe and comfortable. I currently have a flexible schedule and am available most days, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and care throughout the day. I’m happy to work with your routine and make sure your dog feels comfortable, cared for, and stays on schedule while you’re away. Communication is important to me, and I’ll do my best to be available whenever you need dependable pet care. Your pet’s comfort and safety will always come first. I take time to learn each dog’s routine, personality, and preferences so they feel relaxed and secure. I’ll follow feeding schedules, walking routines, and any instructions carefully while giving them attention, patience, and lots of care. I treat every pet like I would my own and aim to create a calm, safe, and positive environment.
“Teadie cared wonderfully for our 3 dogs as if they were her own, and even took our Rambo to an emergency vet appointment. She went above and beyond and we will definitely use her again in the future and recommend her to anyone who needs a great dog sitter.”
“My two Jack Russell’s had a great time with Shannon while she did a 5 day house sit with them. Shannon regularly kept us up to date on their wellbeing with pictures and texts. She also was able to help us out for an extra day when our flight was delayed returning home and ensured the dogs were still taken care of while we were delayed getting home. The house looked great when we got back and we had two happy pups. Thanks again Shannon!”
“She was fantastic! We have 2 cats and 2 dogs. She pet sat at our house when I needed to fly to Florida last minute for a family emergency. Colleen, sent us updates with pictures. Gave me such a peace of mind while gone to know my fur babies were in good hands!”
“Madelyn took care of my 14-year old Siberian Husky, Kodiak, who has arthritis. She house-sat him while we were away on vacation for 12 days. She was wonderful with him, taking him on frequent short walks during the day. When we got home, we found a very neat house and a very happy (and tired!) dog. I would absolutely hire her again.”
“Sahari made us feel so comfortable in leaving our two dogs and home in her care. She was extremely thorough in asking questions about them and their different and specific needs. Our sheepdog is often very wary with new people and he took to Sahari right away. She handled the high energy and special medical needs of our other dog with compassion, kind boundaries and competent care. She went the extra mile in applying eye medications for our dog several times a day, keeping our home clean and gave us updates throughout her stay. We highly recommend her!”
Howell pet parents share their Rover experiences
Eryn is fantastic, full stop. Regular and thorough updates on our cat, Penny, who can be challenging(!) with medication, and whom Eryn handled like a champ. We were gone for 10 days, which is a long time for us, so it was a huge weight off having Eryn take care of our lil' fuzzball and our home. Will absolutely hire again, and highly recommend!
