Dog Walking in Kingston

“We couldn’t be more grateful to have found Chris! He’s always punctual, easy to communicate with, and we trust him completely with our dog, Omeo. We are always kept updated with walking adventures and Chris makes sure Omeo is happy and well cared for. It’s rare to find someone so dependable and compassionate. Knowing that our dog, Omeo, is in such caring and capable hands brings us so much peace of mind. We feel very lucky to have met Chris and highly recommend him to any pet owners!”

“Alice was wonderful--very professional and knew a lot about handling a strong willed dog like my Fergus. She was great in communicating with my husband who was working in his office and sending me updates while I was in another country. And most of all...Fergus loved her and would gladly have her as his sitter again! Thanks so much and hope I can use you in the future!”

“I had to go out of town last minute and Sebastian was very accommodating. They took wonderful care of my dog while I was away and sent me detailed updates at all of the scheduled times. I felt completely at ease and didn’t worry about my dog because I knew she was in great hands.”

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 have grown up with pets my entire life since I was a child and now 35 I love them! I've worked on a farm too. Pet Care fits into my life like a glove I have the time for them and I cannot wait to meet your amazing fur babies. I have a big sizeable home which they are free to roam I also have a backyard I can also take them on plenty of walks

“Katherine has been great with my dog Leo. She can get in and out of a very difficult door to open (fiddly lock) and is very self-reliant. I’m sure Leo likes her a lot and I’m happy to have her walk my dog. A+”

About: I've taken care of many different types of dogs, from pit bulls to terriers to English bulldogs. As a teenager, I loved taking our family dog (a black Boxador) to her weekly puppy training classes and watching neighbors' dogs and cats while they were away. As an adult, I've been hired to dog-sit, cat-sit and house-sit for family friends and teachers. I spent the past year living with a rambunctious German shepherd and wrangling her on walks in Denver. I absolutely love long walks, playing fetch, or just cuddling with dogs. I'm a musician and graduate student at Bard. My schedule changes quite a bit, but I always have a good idea of what my schedule will look like 2 weeks in advance. In addition, I am generally free most mornings, and can often be flexible. I'm very happy to provide your dog(s) with walks, food, brushing, and bathing in the mornings or during the day while you're at work! I am also potentially open to boarding cats in my apartment if they do well with other cats. I have a calm, quiet 7yo cat named Hobbes, and my roommate has a rambunctious, playful, and friendly 2yo cat named Rue. Both have lived with multiple other cats before. We have 3 litter boxes in the house, lots of fun toys, many windows, space to explore, and a large cat tower.

“Katherine responds quickly and is very easy to communicate with, she is punctual, friendly, and compassionate. Otis loved his walk with her and we will continue to have Katherine care for Otis when we need.”

About: I have taken care of animals my whole life - from family pets, to pets of my own. I love all animals. We do not deserve them, but I do my best to earn their love every day. They are so innocent and deserving of love, and I truly enjoy providing them with all the love and safety they need. I love just simply watching them exist! I have cared for small, medium, and large dogs. I cared for my sweet German Shorthaired Pointer baby (Hunter), who had cancer. Now I shower my young Aussie Mountain Doodle puppy (Selena) with love every day, teaching her to learn and grow, and brushing her constantly so her doodle fur does not get matted and she stays looking beautiful. I have fully potty trained her, she has learned a few commands, and with my guidance, she is getting better and better at walking on her leash. I also have two amazing senior kitties (Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin). They make me smile everyday. They are 14 years young, so they have started to have some slight health decline (cataracts, arthritis, hyperthyroidism), so I have gotten better and better at senior cat care. One of my kitties requires a pill twice a day, so I am an expert at administering pills to cats as well. I am also very good about making sure they have the freshest litter and litter boxes. I clean them daily, empty them completely once a week, and I even wash the boxes out completely once a month. I also house their litter boxes in litter box enclosures to give them privacy and a place of their own to do their business. From caring for my own pets, to feeding the squirrels and birds in my backyard, to saving stray cats - my love for animals knows no bounds. All animals deserve love, and I promise to care for you pets as if they were my own ❤️ I work full-time for a non-profit, but I work from home 3 days a week and only go into the office 2 times a week. This means I have some flexibility in my schedule on week days. On weekends I am wide open! At my home, I have a routine with my animals. They are fed right around the same times everyday, they are given fresh water twice a day, my one cat gets his medicine at the same time twice a day, and they all get a lot of pets and some treats daily as well. My puppy gets at least 2 walks a day, some swim time if the weather is nice, and A LOT of play time with her many toys every day. My cats do not like to play much now that they are older, but I do my best to keep them active with the few toys they show interest in. I have also converted my back porch into an enclosed catio in order to fulfill their dreams of being outdoor cats! In your home, I would utilize my stellar attention to detail in order to carefully follow your guidance. That way I can keep your pet(s) on their usual routine as much as possible so that they are as comfortable and feel as safe as possible. I am also a wonderful and thorough communicator, so I would ensure you were fully aware of everything so that you can feel comfortable as well.

“Rosalie has been so lovely to work with. Our recently adopted dog struggles with separation anxiety and Rosalie has been willing to work with us to slowly build her confidence so that we can eventually leave her overnight. We are very grateful for her help, patience, and support!”

About: As a social worker, I'm highly attuned to both human and animal needs/issues, and love getting to know and cater to unique personalities - or provide loving care for those who are ill or have special needs. I started taking care of neighbors' pets at an early age and though we only had fish and birds and a cat at home, dogs and other animals became a special love of mine. I have been cat, dog, bird and other little furry friend sitting for over four decades and have done so for several years as a 5 star sitter on Trusted Housesitters. I love making new furry friends, both for sharing my positive, attentive energy with them, and for nourishing in the innocent sweet playfulness they often offer. The mutual benefits of animal care are no joke! As an avid traveler and travel writer (we social workers need periodic breaks from our big jobs), pet sitting has been a fabulous win-win-for-all! I love immersing in local scenes, and enjoy getting to know the nature, infrastructure, and pulse of new places. Perhaps most importantly, I love hunkering down for writing (I am a published writer in addition to being a social worker) with the delightful energy of furry friends beside me. They seem to like it too! I grew up in a small city, have lived in a major city for over two decades and LOVE being in more rural and remote areas too. You can count on me to bring my strong sense of professionalism and responsibility to your pets and to your home. I’ve often been told that other than happy pets, there was no sign I had even been there! I am currently freelancing/focusing my time on writing projects so I often have a flexible schedule....and love taking work breaks with furry friends! A veteran 5-start pet-sitter, I am new to Rover and am figuring out how the calendar and geography works so it can reflect where I am and when I'm available. Most folks comment that they can barely tell I've been there. Cleanliness, respect, and loving care are my hallmarks. I make sure to honor any requests and instructions for people's homes, which often have quirks and special needs -- and to of course respect privacy too, just as I would as a social worker. As for furry friends, they get exceptional, reliable, patient, playful, caring energy from me while I make sure that all their food, litter, or other needs are met.
