Dog Sitting Katonah

“Gabriella was awesome for our furbabies! She was super communicative and sent a lot of pictures during each of her visits. We felt very comfortable leaving 3 cats and 2 dogs to her care and would highly recommend her 😊”

About: Animals bring joy to our world, and specifically to my world! I am happy and honored to care for your loved ones! With 15 years of experience caring for Dogs, Cats (and Bears oh my), Fish, Turtles, I have time-tested experience with success, and increasing enjoyability! I have a calm demeanor which has been in part inspired folks to call me a "dog whisperer." I will have an immediate, positive impact on your loved ones life, and want to be of service to our sacred pet community! I'm a recent Law graduate, looking for the next chapter of my adventure; and in the meantime I'd be honored to spend time taking the best care of your pet(s)! I believe all animals deserve compassion, attention, and a reliable food schedule/walks outside! I'll adhere to YOUR specific requests, I am here to serve YOU!

About: I bring attentive, knowledgeable care tailored to your specific creature and their specific personality. I've been pet parent to dogs of all sizes, from Chihuahuas to Great Danes to my current Sheepadoodle — there's no dog size or personality that's too much or too little, IMHO. And my experience extends well beyond dogs — cats, snakes, farm animals 🐐, and more. I also happen to share my home with a ball python named Fettuccine Alfredo 🐍, who is a distinguished, low-drama fellow. As a plant parent, I will watch after yours indoor jungles, outdoor gardens, that one fiddle leaf fig you're nervous about. If you need someone who will actually look at your monstera and not just splash water in its general direction, that's me. (My avocado tree, grown from a pit, is thriving. I'm not taking questions.) Housesitting, dog walking, drop-in visits, basic training — I've got you. And if you're going away and need the whole ecosystem looked after, pets, plants, and all, I'd love to meet you. Pet care fits naturally into the rhythm of my week. My mornings are consistently free, which works well for walks and drop-in visits, and I have flexibility on Wednesdays, Fridays, and weekends for longer stays or housesitting. On days when I'm teaching in the afternoons and evenings, I'm still available in the mornings — and I keep my schedule intentionally manageable so I'm never stretched too thin across clients. This isn't something I'm squeezing in around a packed schedule — it's something I've made genuine room for. When I'm in your home for drop-in visits or housesitting, I treat it with the same care and attention I'd give my own. That means following your routines exactly as you've set them, keeping things tidy, and making sure your pets are comfortable and unstressed in their own environment. I take detailed notes at meet-and-greets so nothing gets missed while you're away. On walks, I keep dogs leashed and attentive to their individual energy and needs — a reactive dog gets a very different walk than a social butterfly, and I know the difference. I bring over thirty years of animal experience to reading body language and behavior, so I'm not caught off guard by much. My own home includes a ball python and two cats, so I'm well practiced in managing a multi-species household safely and calmly. I don't offer boarding, which means your dog's visit to my home would only ever be for a meet-and-greet in a low-key, relaxed setting. In any situation that feels off — health, behavior, anything — I err on the side of contacting you immediately and getting to a vet if needed. You'll never be left guessing.

About: I’ve been caring for pets for several years and have experience with dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities. Friends, neighbors, and family members have trusted me to feed, walk, play with, and care for their pets while they were away. I’m reliable, patient, and love making pets feel comfortable and safe. I can also help with routines, exercise, and giving lots of attention and care. I am currently working a 9-5 Monday through Thursday But available Friday- Sunday at anytime. If needed I can come after work if I am available I provide care in clients’ homes so pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I always follow feeding schedules, walking routines, and any specific instructions to make sure your pet feels safe, cared for, and happy while you’re away. I’m respectful of your home, reliable, and will give your pets plenty of attention and care.

“Mia was excellent. She should be very proud of herself, especially with how active and vocal our larger dog was when she visited for the meet and greet. The dogs look very well taken care of and it would be an honor to book Mia again in the future. Thank you for helping our family while we were away.”

About: I have been around dogs my entire life! My family dog of 12 years passed away last year, but she definitely taught me a lot. I have experience with dogs of all ages, even senior dogs! I am a recent college graduate (Bucknell University Class of 2024!) taking a gap year before pursuing a master's degree. This means my schedule for the time being is incredibly flexible, and I can help accommodate to your scheduling needs! I happily follow all instructions left for your pet care, and am happy to send consistent updates about your pets well-being! Whatever makes you most comfortable in your home!

“Jayna agreed to take care of my baby girl pretty short notice and was completely accommodating. She kept me in the loop to everything that happened which was very comforting and extremely appreciated! I will be booking her again for sure!”

About: I’ve always loved being around animals and making sure they feel safe and cared for. Over the years, I’ve pet-sat on the side for friends and neighbors—it’s more of a hobby than a job because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I’m reliable, patient, and happy to help with walks, playtime, feeding, or keeping a routine. I make sure each pet feels comfortable, cared for, and loved while their owner is away. I work a 9–5 job, but I’m available most mornings, evenings, and weekends to care for pets. I work from home three days a week, which allows for added flexibility to provide walks, playtime, or visits. I provide a safe, calm environment while caring for pets in their own home. I follow their routines, ensure they have food, water, and attention, and monitor their well-being. I keep owners updated with messages and photos so they know their pets are happy and cared for.

“Tara did a wonderful job taking care of our two cats while we were away! She provided us with detailed updates and photos every visit and was excellent with communication. Would highly recommend her to anyone!”

“Klaudia was such an amazing Rover! She was so responsive and helped us out in a pinch. Our dog loved her and she made sure to keep us updated every time she checked in on him. Can’t recommend her enough. We absolutely plan to use her again!”

“Excellent caretaker! I had no worries while on vacation. Laura was extremely communicative and followed every instruction. Couldn’t be happier :)”

About: I’m a huge fan of both cats and dogs and will happily provide the walks, playtime, cuddles, belly rubs, and attention they demand. I love getting to know each pet’s personality—whether they’re a zoomie champion, a professional napper, or a little shy. My work is flexible and can host your pets for long term care. I would be honored to give your fur babies plenty of love and attention while you’re away. I work full-time, but only live two minutes away. I will be able to attend to your pets practically anytime of the day. I currently don't have any other pets staying with me so your babies will have my undivided attention. I live on a large private property with lots of land and space for needed outside time. I live in a small apartment but still plenty of space to comfortable moving.

“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.”

“Marta took care of my cat very well. She sent me pictures everyday, which makes me feel at ease while I was on vacation. Thank you so much, Marta :)”

“Kathleen is a true professional! As this was our first time using Rover, I spent plenty of time ready through her numerous reviews and they all played true. Kathleen was prompt and responsive. Her updates were thorough and we knew had left our fur baby in good hands! We will happily have Kathleen again in the future for our cat sitting needs. Thank you for the assurance our little four legged friend was in good hands!”

About: For the past three years, I’ve volunteered at a local animal shelter with my mother. I completed my senior internship there and now volunteer on my own. In my time at the shelter, I’ve gained lots of dog walking experience, especially with young puppies. I’m familiar with shelter training techniques and with cleaning and sanitation. I have two dogs of my own, one of which is a difficult walker. I know how most types of dog harnesses work. My internship involved spending time in the cat room, during which time I worked with cats of all temperaments. I don’t currently work in an official capacity and don’t play any sports, so I’m free pretty much all the time aside from my volunteer work. I’m going to college in September, so I’m not available for long term arrangements that go past summer. I’m used to animals with a wide range of play styles. I have a dog that loves to play fetch and go for swims, and I live near a large trail system, so I’m most familiar with those forms of enrichment. I have a minivan and can drive dogs to dog parks, trails, and fields.

“Hayley was absolutely fantastic with my dogs! From the moment we met, I could tell she genuinely loves animals and knows how to care for them. She kept me updated with photos and messages, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. My dogs were happy and clearly adored her. I highly recommend her and will book with her again!”

“Abigail was great with Bentley with our meet and greet. Today was the first drop in visit. Abigail let me know she was there, what they were doing, and when she was leaving. She also sent a few pictures of Bentley. It looks like Bentley had a great visit. Thank you Abigail.”

About: From furry to feathered, I've been surrounded by animals my entire life, nurturing a deep understanding and unwavering passion for their well-being. Growing up with cats, dogs, birds, hamsters, fish, and rabbits has instilled in me a lifelong commitment to providing exceptional care for all creatures, great and small. This isn't just a job for me; it's a continuation of a lifelong dedication. What truly sets me apart is my experience with special needs animals. My own beloved dog, Charli, battled a severe form of epilepsy, requiring meticulous management through specialized diets, precise medication administration (oral and nasal), diapering and attentive seizure care, including mobility assistance with a supportive sling. This personal journey has equipped me with invaluable skills and a profound empathy for animals facing health challenges. I also have experience administering oral medication to rabbits, syringe feeding, and even IV hydration. Beyond my personal experience, I actively volunteer at SNARR, a special needs rescue in Brewster, where I walk and socialize dogs of all breeds and temperaments. I'm also currently pursuing my dog training certification, further enhancing my ability to understand and address canine behavior. Animals have always been an integral part of my life, and their well-being is my utmost priority. When you entrust your pet to my care, you can rest assured they will be treated with the same love, attention, and dedication I would give my own. *Meet and greet required before any new booking* Animal care and welfare is my full time job, so I can easily adapt to your pet's unique needs and provide personalized care. I am Pet CPR and First Aid Certified. When pets stay with me, they become part of our family! My home offers a comfortable and safe environment, with a large, fully fenced yard where they can enjoy supervised playtime. Inside, I have cozy beds and ample space for crating if needed. I understand that every pet is unique, so I'll tailor my schedule to perfectly match your pet's exercise, feeding, and medication needs. We're fortunate to live in an area with plenty of beautiful walking and hiking trails, perfect for exploring with energetic pups. My two children, ages 9 and 12, are animal lovers who understand the importance of respecting individual needs and temperaments. They're also fantastic playmates for dogs who enjoy a good romp! Finally, we have a house rabbit who will always be kept separate from any visiting animals, ensuring everyone's safety and comfort.

“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!”
