Doggy Airbnb

Dog sitting has become the best full time job here! I have never been paid to dog walk/sit and only have purely out of love for all animals. I started volunteering for family friends and neighbors at a young age and will never say no to hanging out with a furry friend. No size or breed scare me - all are welcome (:

Doggy Day Care • Jan 27, 2026

Maria was so gracious and sweet with my cavapoo puppy for daycare. She has great energy and he went right to her and I know he had a great experience there. She even took him on his own walk. He was very chill when I picked him up not dying to leave like he has been at other places. I'm very grateful I found such a high quality place to bring my dog so close to Nyack. Will definitely be back.

Maria took care of Bondi while I was traveling for work & was wonderful communication-wise with updates as well as coordinating Bon Bon’s drop off & pick up with my Dad, which I was so grateful for! Will definitely use Maria again if I need a sitter in Rockland County 😊

Schedule

Boarding - I am home everyday and have full availability to watch and care for pups. Yard is moderately sized and property is pretty private with our only 3 neighbors all across the street. I have many repeated clients outside of rover and we’re constantly rotating dogs so expect your pup to make furry friends during their stay! For walks - my schedule is extremely flexible at the moment, preferably mornings and late afternoons. Tuesday and Wednesday evenings are not ideal but can possibly work. Sunday mornings do not work.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a mini goldendoodle living in my studio apartment. She is shy but warms up quickly to new pups. My apartment is the lower half of my dad’s house in a private wooded area on a hill overlooking the Hudson River. I am a free range sitter so pups are allowed on sofa and bed unless I’m given specific instructions which I happily will follow.

Pets

A typical day

Between walks outside, exploring new local trails, or just laying low with lots of cuddles at home - I always ensure our guests have the perfect balance!

0 to 15 lbs

Maria can host up to 4 pets per night
I don’t have a preference for breed or size, anything I’m instructed to do whether it’s giving medication, meal or bath, will be done and done with love always.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
