Catskill Canine Concierge

I would love to take your dog for a walk or hike in and around the Woodstock area. I have many years of experience owning dogs and cats, and dog and cat sitting for friends since I was a kid. I have also spent time walking dogs at animal shelters and am trained in pet first aid and cpr. I love big dogs, little dogs and anything in between :) I'm usually available during the day and some evenings and weekends. I love to hike and would also be happy to hike with your dog. I'm passionate about health and wellness and natural living. I'm originally from the UK but have been living in NY for over two decades. I live in the Woodstock area with my two daughters, our two rescue dogs and our rescue kitten.

Drop-In Visits • Aug. 17, 2025

Venetia responded quickly and was able to accommodate a very last minute request. Everything went smoothly and I could tell our cat really enjoyed her. He can be skiddish sometimes around new people but played with her! I would definitely book her again and highly recommend her to others!

Venetia was so lovely with our dog who can be difficult with strangers. She was communicative throughout the whole process and flexible with our last minute travel changes. I couldn't ask for a better sitter.

Perfect communication and prompt arrival to take care of Ollie while we were away for the day. Will certainly be using Venetia again!

Venetia was absolutely great with our puppy. Auggie had a blast playing with her dog Luna and did not want to leave! Venetia’s communication was excellent

Dog Walking • März 31, 2021

Venetia showed up on time (a little early even to get the lowdown on my dog!) and helped burn some puppy energy! She took my 1 year old dog on a nice nature walk with beautiful pics :-) She was very patient with some naughty behaviors we're working on (jumping!) and her calm demeanor put my boy at ease to go off with a stranger. She responded promptly to my requests and was VERY thorough with getting all of Reshi's information. Will be using her services again soon and would def recommend Venetia for your pets needs :-)

Schedule

I’m usually out walking dogs in the morning and working from home in the afternoons. My dogs love to play with other pups and we enjoy going on long walks or taking care of pets in our home. I’m also available for drop in visits at your home, or for your dogs to stay at our home while you are away.
