“Lisa was great with communication and a great help with informing me of heating issues so that I was able to call my plumber on New Years Day to clear up the heating issue . So thankful to Lisa 🥰 I will definitely recommend her to anyone in need of a sitter. Thanks again Lisa for everything.”

About: To keep things calm and cozy, I only host one dog at a time, or up to two dogs from the same household. About Us: Hi! I’m excited to offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and boarding for dogs in a calm, cozy home environment. I’m (Chloe) the primary sitter, and my husband, Aaron, will help out and give your pets lots of love when he's around. We both grew up with dogs of all breeds and sizes, so we’re comfortable caring for dogs of any age, size, or personality. I also spent six years working as an office manager for a dog training franchise, giving me great insight into dog behavior. I truly enjoy bonding with dogs, whether it’s walking, playing, or giving extra love and cuddles. My goal is to make every dog feel comfortable, happy, and cared for while you’re away. Availability: I’m primarily available weekends (Saturday & Sunday), when I’m home to provide lots of attention, walks, and cuddles. I also offer limited weekday evening availability after 4 PM with advance notice, as I work full-time during the week. For boarding, Friday drop-offs after 4 PM work best. During school holidays and long weekends, I’m usually home and happy to offer a safe, cozy place for your dog while you’re out visiting family or traveling. These openings are reflected in my calendar. Services I Offer: Dog walks: 30-minute or 1-hour options Drop-in visits: feeding, playtime, bathroom breaks Boarding at my home Administering medication (oral/topical, excluding injections) Special care: pets with anxiety or other special needs Regular updates: photos and texts so you can relax while away Why Choose Me: If your dog enjoys: Calm, cozy surroundings Lots of love, cuddles, and attention Consistent routines, playtime, and the option for long walks in scenic areas (if owner prefers) I’d love to provide reliable, affectionate care while you’re away. My home is clean and well-maintained, so your dog will be safe, comfortable, and stress-free. I bring experience with dogs of all breeds and sizes and a genuine love for spending time with them, making sure every dog feels happy, cared for, and part of the family. Please feel free to reach out with any questions or to discuss your dog’s specific needs. I’m primarily available weekends (Saturday & Sunday, 8 AM–5 PM), when I’m home to provide lots of attention, walks, and cuddles. I also offer limited weekday evening availability after 4 PM with advance notice, as I work full-time during the week. For boarding, Friday drop-offs after 4 PM work best. During school holidays and long weekends, I’m usually home and happy to offer a safe, cozy place for your dog while you’re out visiting family or traveling. Please note I only host one dog at a time, or up to two dogs from the same household. When caring for pets, I prioritize their safety, comfort, and happiness. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, preferences, and specific needs (medication, feeding, anxiety triggers) and follow any instructions to maintain a consistent environment. On walks, I use a secure leash, follow your preferred route, and stay mindful of traffic, other animals, and surroundings to make it safe and enjoyable. In your home, I treat your space with respect, keep it tidy, and provide regular updates with photos and messages so you always know how your pet is doing. Your dog’s well-being is my top priority, and I strive to offer them love and care as if they were my own.

About: I've been around dogs all my life and I'm a big advocate for the bully breeds. I know how to hold a big strong dog that just wants to say hello. I can keep a steady pace for walks and hold tightly for random pass-by animals. Keeping commands firm and using the proper commands when the unexpected happens is something I excel in because of my experience of working with children. Fifteen plus years working with children ranging from the ages 3-11. I know a dog is part of the family, I have 2 of my own (a cat too!). I've had 10 plus in pet care and 20 plus years in pet ownership. Let me care for your fur-baby. My schedule is very clear for any pet care needs. I was working part time but now I’m looking for pet care as my job. I’m very watchful and observant from years of child care and from my own pets, I want the pets to be safe all the time.

“Gloria was great! Her focus was Hariet the whole time she was attentive to all her needs and went above and beyond. Hariet has a lot of big feelings and Gloria was able to keep her happy and calm.”

“Jean is responsible and communicative, and I would recommend her to any cat owner. She helped us out in a pinch, and was so flexible, it was amazing. Jean is an awesome sitter and you can tell she loves animals and what she does! We felt so safe leaving our cats with her, and will definitely be requesting her services in the future!”

About: I grew up having dogs! My family had the sweetest golden retriever growing up. She loved going for walks and loved meeting new people. We took care of her through an injury and arthritis which made walking challenging. My family got another dog who is a giant mix rescue with a very different temperament. She is terrified of new people and hates the mailman but I have worked with her to interact with others and work through some of her fears. I have also spent a lot of time with friends and family dogs and have dog sat a few times, too. I am looking for summer care options as I will have free time since I am a full-time teacher. I would be able to help out during the day. I am a reliable person who takes care of people's property. I will follow all instructions left by owners and do everything I can for their fur babies. I can walk, feed, and clean up after pets.

“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.”

“Thank you so much!! You are so awesome!! Can't wait for next week!!”

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was a child. I owned two Miniature Pinschers growing up and I adopted one Australian Shepherd mix that has special needs as an adult. I trained all of my dogs from the time they were puppies until they passed away as seniors. I also volunteered at the Humane Society of Westchester. I've always enjoyed being around animals since I was young and animals tend to feel the same way about me. Animals who are usually timid around strangers are comfortable around me right away and they seem to trust me right away. I feel like connecting with animals (dogs specifically) is a gift that I have. Being a sitter is a great way for me to use that gift in everyday life. I'm able to adapt to the normal routine of the pets that I'm sitting in order to make the process as smooth as possible. I don't have a lot of room in my studio apartment so I'm only able to watch either 1-2 small dogs or one medium sized dog. Large dogs are too big for my apartment. If I'm at a client's home, I'll change my schedule to meet the needs of the pet. I believe all animals are unique and all have different needs in order to thrive in the environment that they're in. I'm willing to meet those needs by building my schedule around the animals that I'm sitting.

About: I’ve had 6 dogs in my lifetime and of all shapes, sizes and personalities. I have never met a dog that I haven’t gotten along with and have been caring for mine and my friends dogs and cats when needed since I was 10. I trained each one of my dogs and take great care to respect them as the magnificent boys and girls they are. I really love animals of all kinds and meeting new ones is always the highlight of my day, and I look forward to meeting more! I’m currently applying to graduate school and studying for standardized testing, so my schedule can be as flexible as needed to accommodate for yours or your pets needs. I’m quite active with my dogs so I’m more than happy to deal with any energy levels in animals. That being said my care revolves around keeping your pets as happy as possible, and if you are ok with it I have a fully fenced in garden and three lovely dogs to keep them company!

About: I’m capable of taking care of chameleons, fish, rats and ferrets, as I’ve had all. Rats were my favorite and I plan to get more in the future, ferrets are runner up. My working hours are 10:30-7, so I’m available for a walk at 8 or 9 am and 8 pm. Mondays are more flexible. Not every day is exactly the same though so ask me about a time and I may have a pocket of time! I’m a licensed nail tech and I’ve opened my own business (Studio Rose 24) so I have fairly good flexibility. I send pictures to all my clients, not always because of trust, but because we all think about and miss our babies when we’re out of town.

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.

“Hayley was great, I couldn’t have asked for a better person. Attentive, plenty of pictures and great communication. Would definitely book again!”

About: I have had dogs and cats my entire life. I have dealt with kittens/puppies, adults and seniors. Gave meds, washed, groomed and trained them. Large dogs and pitbulls are my favorites. I also had a house rabbit for 9 years. My pets had long happy lives I have a part time job, so my schedule is flexible. With enough lead time, I can swap my shift and be available whenever I am needed. I can care for pets in their own home. The pets are happier and less stressed when they are at home. Pets should say home whenever possible.

“Allison was great! Will definetly hire her again!”

“I cannot put into words how wonderful this man is . He truly gave my babies- Charlie,Grizzly and Boots awesome care and unconditional love. Every day he sent pictures to me so i would not worry. They were spoiled and truly care for. Thank you Linda & Gus.”

“CeCe did a great job taking care of our cat! She was very responsive, visited on time and got some belly rubs by the end of the trip! Highly recommend”

Heidi R.

“Marta is fantastic! I could tell from the moment I met her that she would be very confident and responsible. We have a very nervous and shy senior cat on prescription food, pill and supplements for kidney disease, and he hid under the bed when she came twice a day and at one point stopped eating. She was very patient and diligent about messaging with me and following instructions for different foods and treats to get him to start eating again. The house looked very neat when we returned. We already booked her for our trip in September!”
