“David walked our golden retriever lab mix, Nala, for the first time today. Scheduling was easy and he communicated well before, during, and after the visit. Nala is looking forward to her next walk!”

About: Rhinebeck local with a 30 minute lunch break. Available for overnight in-home and/or dog walking services. Experience with giving oral medication. Big dogs and puppies welcome! Kitties and small animals, too! Minimal experience with reptiles (only leopard geckos) but I can watch them with care instructions. Generally I work early morning to early afternoon. No earlier than 5:30 and no later than 6:00 p.m. Weekends included. My days off are usually Tuesday or Wednesday or Thursday. There are some exceptions as my schedule varies week to week. But I can and frequently do work around customers' schedules, especially with advanced notice! I am diligent in keeping an eye on animals in the home. Especially puppies/potty training animals. When we are out taking a walk (for dogs) I will cross to the other side of the street and not greet other dogs, even if yours is friendly. Better to be safe than sorry! Same goes for dog parks. We can go, but I will keep a close eye on any animals and leave if things get too hot.

“Sarah is very consistent and very experienced. She knows dogs better than most. Always on time, very flexible, infinitely helpful, id recommend her to anyone who needs her services without hesitation .”

“Sebastian was amazing, communicative and thoughtful. Wynnie looked forward to their walks everyday. We felt confident and comfortable leaving Wynnie in their care, knowing that she would be well taken care of! Could not recommend Sebastian highly enough for pet care.”

“Melissa is an amazing dog sitter/walker, with a touch of whimsy and a deep compassion for animals. She was a real human companion to Toby, who took to her almost immediately. Long walks, great photos of our canine friend. We were very relieved that Toby was in her good hands. Five stars isn’t enough!”

About: I have experience with all types of cats and dogs and critters. I not only work as a pet sitter, but I was an independent rescuer and as a Spay-Neuter advocate for the ASPCA in NYC as well. I can administer fluids and medications (provided the cat isn't feral) and I have experience caring for elderly animals and pets with disabilities. I'm guaranteed reliable, flexible, patient, and kind, and I would care for your babes as I do my own. Part of being a good pet sitter is sensing what the cat and dog need, whether it means extra pets and playtime, or to be given space. i want your pet to be happy and cared for. i love all animals and their happiness, safety and well-being mean everything to me. As a part-time freelancer, pet sitting works with my schedule. Weekdays and Weekends are OK. Holidays OK. If you need your cat cared for at a specific time with no flexibility, please mention that when booking. Dogs will be walked and fed at the time requested. ***PLEASE NOTE IF YOU ARE LOCATED OUT OF MY RANGE, I WILL CHARGE AN ADDITIONAL FEE. ANYONE OUTSIDE OF 7 miles of midtown KINGSTON. MEDICATION ADMIN WILL ALSO INCUR AN ADDITIONAL FEE. TOLLS aka Rhinebeck Bridge will also need to be reimbursed. Thanks for your understanding! ****MY FIRST CLIENT IS 8AM Cats and dogs deserve exercise, playtime, fresh meals, clean water, and affection. I will never allow a cat outside or a dog off his or her leash unless requested. You can rely on me to lock the door and keep your pet and home safe while you are away.

About: I’ve loved dogs since I was a child, with many family dogs and cats throughout my life - all local rescues. I live alone in a house (with fully fenced yard) in uptown Kingston with my 8y.o. coonhound mix Charlie who is very friendly and gets along with other dogs. My house is located near Forsyth park which is a great spot to take dogs for a scenic walk and playtime. I work a computer job from home full time M-F and am always available to care for the pets I board. Regular potty breaks are no problem. Dogs are welcome throughout the entire house including my home office. My house has a large completely fenced-in yard, and my dog Charlie is eager to make new friends to play with. Crating is no problem- I have a small and large crate, dog beds, and dozens of toys they can choose from. I keep my home clean and I do not smoke.

“Monica was great to work with - easy to communicate with. Tiny was a happy pup after her walks. Would 100% work with her again. (Thanks, Monica!)”

“Katherine far exceeded any expectations I had for my dog’s care. Katherine always changed the water and put out a lunch I would leave for my dog as well as a biscuit when she left…Katherine gave nice long walks and was always on time and usually gave more than the normal 30 minutes! Sadie loved her…I’ll be using Katherine again!”

About: I love to admire and take care of pets, I’m very patient with animals and will take the time to better understand them. I’m also very open to any kind of training if necessary. I work weekdays until 5pm. And then have the rest of the day for walking dogs or feeding cats. Looking for about 2 hours of dog walking at the end of the day during the weekdays. I have an suv car so I can offer lots of space for a bigger dog and I have a very watchful eye and will make the best judgment calls to my ability.

“We had a fantastic experience with Jacqueline! She was punctual, friendly, and clearly has a great way with dogs. Our pups came back happy and well exercised after each walk. Jaqueline was also great with communication sending updates and photos that gave us peace of mind. Highly recommend her for anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog walker!”

About: I specialize in attentive, stress-free cat care, with a deep understanding of feline behavior and needs. I’ve also cared for dogs and know how to ensure they feel safe, seen, and comfortable. My calm presence and attention to detail set me apart when it comes to compassionate, reliable pet care. My schedule allows for catering to all of a pet's needs: feeding, grooming, walking, playing and enrichment, medication administration, etc. I can also do multiple drop-ins per day/extended drop-ins for pets that need company throughout the day. I live in an apartment complex, so I would not be able to host your pet in my home, but I have reliable transportation and would love to come to you!

“Hadar is great with communication and punctual! I came home to a happy pup, will definitely call again!”

About: Hi there! I’m Gaby, and I’ve been caring for beloved animal friends, including dogs, cats, (and even ducks!) for private clients over the past six years. Whether it’s a daily walk, an overnight stay, or simply some loving company while you’re away, I treat every animal as if they were my own. I’m reliable, experienced, and passionate about what I do, and I’m now expanding my pet care services through Rover to reach even more furry (and feathered) friends. References from long time clients are happily available upon request. I believe trust is everything when it comes to your pets. Let’s connect! I’d love to meet your companions and be part of their happy, healthy routine. As an artist and student attending Bard College, I structure my days to be present and attentive; qualities that naturally extend to the animal friends I care for. My schedule is flexible in the evenings and on weekends, which means I can accommodate night visits, drop ins, and extended weekend stays with ease. Caring for animals is a grounding and joyful part of my routine. Whether it’s early morning feeds before class, relaxing evening walks, or playful visits on weekends, I prioritize each animals' comfort and happiness as part of my daily flow. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine and trainings as consistent as possible with feeding, walks, playtime, and cuddles all happen on schedule to keep them comfortable and happy. I respect your space, clean up after all visits, and make sure your pet feels calm and safe until you return. When caring for pets in my own home, I create a welcoming, low stress environment with plenty of attention, enrichment, and comfort. Whether in your home or mine, my aim is to communicate clearly with updates and photos so you know your pet is in good hands.

“We’re grateful that Melissa can walk Bonnie - she is timely, communicative and warm, and leaves great notes on how each walk went.”

About: I’m a young professional living in Kingston with my cat Oliver. I have lived with cats my entire life and also grew up with German shepherds. I am very loving and reliable and it would be my pleasure to take care of your cat or dog while you’re out of town. I love hiking and being outside so if your dog loves long walks don’t look any further! I’ll make sure your fur babies are pampered and well taken care of as they await your return! I’m a musician playing in an orchestra so I usually have 1 3-hour rehearsal per day and am otherwise at home practicing. I would be able to come over 2 times a day at least and can also stay over night if that is something that you would prefer. I would take care of your pet in your home. I’m very clean and reliable and would leave your house/apartment as clean as you left it. I will follow your instructions very carefully and make sure your pet feels safe with me.
