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 well with my schedule. I'm available 8am to 9pm. I am not available for overnights, but I will book extended daytime stays if I am available. 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.

I can't say enough great things about Katherine — we've booked her several times to stay with our girl, Penelope. Most recently, she watched both the house and Penelope while we were away for the holiday break. The entire week we felt totally at ease having Katherine there, and really appreciated her thoughtful and thorough communication.. not to mention Penelope seems to really love having her around, too. We'll happily continue to hire Katherine, can't recommend her enough.

Bre’ahna provided exceptional care for our three fur babies (two dogs and one cat). She stayed overnight at our home to comfort our dogs, who get scared by themselves, Our senior pup can be a lot to deal with because she needs extra support at her age, including 3x/day medication; Bre’ahna handled her special care needs with understanding and skill. When our other dog experienced mild diarrhea, Bre’ahna promptly communicated with us, ensuring he felt better quickly. We highly recommend her!

Lee is the best! He stayed with and cared for our two labradors for a week while we went to Florida. Our girls love him and thoroughly enjoyed their time with Lee. He also kept the house spotless and made sure it was clean for us upon our return. I think the dogs appreciated his musical talents too while we were away. I would highly recommend Lee to anyone in need of a sitter, dog walker, or house stay with their pets. They would be well-loved and cared for with Lee!

About: I have trained two puppies, and taken care of a senior dog who sadly recently passed. I understand the patience required for both ends of the spectrum. Currently my puppy is just 9 months old, and very sweet with all other pets. I can help with socialisation, or just general care and walking, whatever you need! I am a graduate student in a very flexible program, just working a few hours a week at Bard College, the rest of the time at home. I have access to a yard, and my friendly puppy to play with. I am happy to follow feeding schedules, and can maintain training routines. I have a crate if your dog needs their safe space.

Carolyn was great. She arrived early, was greeted by Bodhi and after a little playing he jumped in her car and off they went for a walk on the rail trail. He really enjoyed the exercise and I’m sure he’ll be glad to see her again.

What a great comfort knowing your three four legged furkids are being taken care of by someone as thoughtful and warm as Ja-Laurel! She asked all the right questions, she was patient with my habit of many check ins, and our sometimes crazy boy dog immediately took to her warmth and gave her kisses and smiles right away. I guess dogs always know the right people right away. I’m so glad we met you and thanks for staying with our clan twice now and thanks for keeping them safe.

Deanna is a warm and friendly young woman and did a great job of sitting for my two cats while I was away, sleeping over for three nights. She fed them and seemed to genuinely enjoy them. She sent me a photo every day to reassure me. She even cleaned up their vomit without complaining. She left my home neat as a pin, just as she found it. I recommend her and would certainly hire her again.

Kira is *fantastic*! Super communicative and friendly, and she took amazing care of our pets and house while we were away. During our trip, we were thrilled to get photos of our very shy cat hanging out with Kira (a rare occurrence for a petsitter), and our very social, attention-loving dog was in great spirits when we got home. We couldn't believe the fresh and clean house we returned home to! We loved having Kira, and will enthusiastically invite her back!

Laura was able to come last-minute for a full afternoon and cared for both my new kitten and my cat that she’s met before. There was extra work keeping them separated and with different food requirements, so I appreciated Laura’s attention to both my kitties. Great pics as always, and they’re knocked out from a great play-date!

Melissa was a great dog sitter for our furry friends this past weekend. She was attentive to all of the various quirks and medical requirements of the dogs, and was thoughtful about time outside when the weather was poor. She also handled an unexpected indoor potty break very sensitively, even doing a load of laundry to make sure each dog had a comfortable place to sleep. I highly recommend Melissa and will definitely look to her first the next time I need a sitter.

This was our first time hiring Deborah to stay with our dogs and it certainly won’t be the last. It’s been a mixed bag when hiring dog sitters through Rover, but with Deborah’s great reviews we took a chance and were absolutely blown away. Deborah met with us beforehand to meet us and the dogs. She asked us lots of great questions and took thorough notes as we spoke. Then she met with us again the day before to go over everything once more. Her thoroughness and willingness to make sure our dogs were well cared for made us confident leaving them in her care. She sent us regular updates and photos while we were away and it was clear our dogs were very comfortable with her. She took them on walks multiple times a day, and was so attentive to their needs, making sure their schedule remained similar to how it is when we’re home. Then, upon our return, our house was just how we left it (maybe even a little cleaner!) and our dogs were so happy. Deciding to travel is hard for us because it’s so tough to find a good dog sitter, but we’re excited (and I know the dogs are as well) for the next time we have a trip so we can rehire Deborah. We were truly able to relax knowing our dogs were in her care!
