Dog Sitting in Jefferson Valley

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and understand the care each one (puppy-senior) requires. Many friends, family, and coworkers have trusted me to care for their fur babies - walks, feedings, drop-ins, etc. They have all become family to me! 🧡 That being said, I’d love to be apart of your pet’s daily care! I am currently available after 5pm Monday-Thursday, after 3:30pm on Friday and between 8:30am- late evening on Saturday and Sunday. I am very flexible overall! I have experience teaching basic dog training commands - sit, lay down, roll over, paw, etc. I can walk (3) dogs at a time. Long walks and play are essential for their well-being and health. Happy to take them to dog parks too!

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since childhood, growing up in a dog-loving home with up to four pups at once ranging from 15 to 75 pounds! I’m comfortable with all breeds and sizes, and I have experience with both playful pups and senior dogs. In college, I was part of the 4 Paws club, where I walked and watched service dogs in training, giving me extra skills to handle all types of dogs. I am available 7 days a week to focus on the needs of your pet, whether that’s walks, playtime, or just keeping them company. I’m flexible, reliable, and more than happy to build a routine that works best for you and your pet. Whether I’m in your home or mine, I make sure to put your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness first. I am more than happy to take your pet to local dog parks, if that’s something you’re comfortable with. If you prefer your pet stays in a fenced yard or neighborhood walks, that works too! I will always follow your preferences and your pet’s routine.

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.

About: Large dogs are my specialty, I enjoy walking and playing with them. I have plenty of room to play in the back yard or go for a long walk on a nature trail. I have experience in kenneling, potty training and leash training dogs. I work full time but have every afternoon and weekend available. I would enjoy walking a pet after work and am available to do overnight care. I have a pet friendly and private apartment with a large private back yard. I am very close to the black river trail which is excellent for dog walking.

About: Hi! I’m Caitlin, a lifelong animal lover with nearly 10 years of pet-sitting experience. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, much more and I’m comfortable with pets of all sizes and personalities. I’m skilled in feeding, exercise, medications, and daily care, always making sure pets get the attention and love they deserve. As a daycare teacher, patience, safety, and reliability come naturally to me. I treat every pet as if they were my own, creating a calm, happy, and stress-free experience. Whether you need walks, drop-in visits, or overnight care, you can trust that your furry friends will be well cared for, loved, and spoiled while you’re away. I work 6:30 AM–3:30 PM as a preschool teacher. I’m available for overnight stays during the week, and depending on your pet’s location, I may be able to stop by during my lunch break for a quick potty break. I’m also available for evening walks, drop-in visits, and weekend care. I provide care in your home, following your pet’s routine and rules to keep them safe, happy, and comfortable. I offer walks, potty breaks, playtime, feeding, and companionship, always supervising to ensure your pet is secure and stress-free. I prioritize safety, trust, and consistency, tailoring care to each pet’s personality and needs. You can relax knowing your furry, feathery, or scaly friend will receive attentive, loving, and reliable care while you’re away

“Alexandra has been very reliable, considerate, and playful with our dog Tara. It’s been a pleasure to have her as a sitter.”

“Joseph always goes above and beyond as a pet sitter. He is an incredibly good communicator and I know that my dog is being well loved and taken care of under Joseph’s care. My dog is very active and still has lots of puppy energy, but Joseph remains patient with him and makes sure that my dog can safely get his energy out.”

“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.”

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.

About: I’ve taken care of and loved all breeds of dogs since I was a child. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and care for their fur babies as they were my own. I have experience with large strong breeds and small dogs as well as seniors and pets with special needs. I am currently working part time as a healthcare professional in private practice from my home so I have plenty of time and flexibility to care for your pet. I offer check-ins, walks, and feeding of your pet in the safety of your own home and neighborhood. I pride myself on being a trusted member of society with excellent references.

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!

“Erica took great care of my 3 cats, including one with cancer, when I was away. She went above and beyond by offering to go back and take care of something when I left confusing instructions, which gave me great peace of mind. All looked the way I left it when I returned, too. I highly recommend Erica for your animals’ needs!”

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.

About: I worked at a pet store for 2 years where I took care of all kinds of different animals (birds, ferrets, reptiles, bunnies, etc.). I worked at a doggy daycare for a year and I have also been dog sitting and boarding for the past 2 years. I also have lived with dogs my whole life. I’m currently in college commuting only one day a week on Wednesdays until may 7th, so I am unavailable to do walks or pick up after 2 I care for pets in the way that the owner tells me works best for their pets. I don’t deviate from their schedule and care.

“Thank you so much!”

“Gianna has been a pleasure to work with this month. December can be challenging but she remained flexible and up beat despite the weather. My mini dachshund is absolutely in love with her. Thank you 💕”

“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.”

Antoinette E.

“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!”
