Great house, dog-friendly trails!

Pet care experience

Hi! We are a couple of doggy lovers based in Mount Kisco. We have lots of experience taking care of many different dogs including buddies in need of medication and dogs with lots of energy. We are responsible people who will take care of your dog and house with respect and enthusiasm! Both of us are young professionals, and very friendly. We've lived with a 95 pound labrador before, and cared for chihuahuas, basenjis, german shepherds, retired sled dogs, and more! We live in a beautiful house next to the Butler Sanctuary, a local hotspot of dog walking and running. Your dog will get quick access to a great trail system with routes perfect for young dogs with lots of energy to burn and older dogs that are less interested in steep hills! In the meanwhile let us take care of your dog and get all the cuddles and doggie kisses we need! Why I love dog sitting Ben and I have been animal lover since childhood. We both individually have had many pets in our lifetime. I am the kind of person that friends recommend to their friends to watch their dogs. Ben is a very responsible loving pet owner who will one day own a house with a huge backyard so we can have all the dogs. I think that dogs are amazing, helpful and should be treated with kindness and respect. They should always be allowed to play, should be fed properly and should be petted constantly. About my yard We have a large yard that isn't fenced, but is great for a dog to run around on. When playing with a dog in the yard we often tether them just to discourage bolting after a deer (or more likely, another dog on the nearby trail system)! My experience administering medication Yes, we have experience taking care of dogs who have strict medicine schedules.

Always excellent and reliable! Marcela always sends pictures and completes the Rover card. Which is very helpful.

Marcela and Ben couldn’t have been more kind and wonderful and capable of caring for our 15 year old dog!! We are SO lucky to have found them and would trust them again in a heartbeat! Even though our dog is a bit difficult, they were so understanding and sweet and took amazing care of him for 2.5 weeks while we were away, keeping us updated with notes and pictures the whole time. I really can’t say enough good things about them - highly recommend!!

Information Marcela M. would like to know about your pet

No breed preference. The usual things I ask before taking on a dog is the dog's habits: when do they eat? any particular games they like to play? how social are they? are they allowed off leash at the park? are they allowed on furniture? can I give them treats? I like to spoil dogs but only within the boundaries of their owners!

A typical day

Here's where we'll take our walks: At the Butler Sanctuary, a 350 acre Nature Conservancy preserve that's very dog-friendly (although if your dog has a favorite spot, we can head over there!) Your dog's sleeping arrangement We have a large apartment so your pooch will have the choice of places to sleep, except for our bedroom. Time I'll spend with your dog When I take care of your dog, your dog would most likely never be alone unless they want to be alone. My office allows dogs so even if I have to work when your dog is with me they would not have to be in a stranger's apartment by themselves.
