Dog Sitting Middletown

About: Originally from upstate NY, I spent time working as a professional veterinary assistant in Atlanta, GA while in school. In this role, I worked directly under a veterinarian to monitor, clean, and provide medical check-ups for dogs at local pet centers, while also providing care for other animals at a boarding and daycare resort. With this hands-on experience, I am deeply familiar with dog health, sanitization, and administering medications. I enjoy spending time with dogs, understand how to spot early signs of illness, and know how to keep dogs on a fun and healthy routine. Since moving back to upstate NY, I do part-time work as a tech consultant from home. This allows me to give plenty of attention to your pet, while also providing plenty of outdoor activities. My wife also works from home, which allows her the flexibility to help as well. Our house is situated right next to the D&H Canal trail, and we take regular walks on a daily basis.Whether your dog is a growing puppy who needs attentive care or an older dog who requires a reliable, experienced handler, my top priority is maintaining their health, safety, and happiness while you are away. My wife and I both work part-time from home, which gives us highly flexible schedules to prioritize your pet's care throughout the week. Our daily routine naturally includes multiple walks along the scenic D&H Canal trail, which directly borders our property. Because our work keeps us at home, guest pets enjoy consistent supervision, frequent potty breaks, and plenty of playful companionship. Our home sits far back from the road at the end of a long driveway, offering a very quiet, safe environment. We sit on 10 acres of land, featuring 3 groomed acres for supervised play and 7 acres of private woods. While our yard is only partially fenced, we have two large, fully enclosed decks that are completely fenced in—perfect for safe sunbathing, lounging, and secure outdoor activities. We also utilize a collapsible fence that we can pull out and set up to create customized secure boundaries if necessary. For exercise, dogs are strictly supervised and kept on-leash as we head down the driveway to our private access point for the D&H Canal trail, keeping them completely away from traffic.

“Nicole did drop ins for my two dogs for a long weekend. She was very attentive and thorough at keeping you informed on how your dogs are doing. We are repeat customers and would highly recommend her!”

About: Ive had pets (dogs, cats, fish-oh my!) since I was very young, so I truly understand the meaning of our pets are family. My professional experience comes from the last 5 years as a marine mammal trainer and zookeeper!

I am a very active person and would love to take them for walks if that is in their wheelhouse! I have my own sweet old lady Maltese at home, who absolutely adores her own personal space. That being said I am not currently accepting boarding or visits in my own home, but am more than happy to come to yours!

I have always cared for all other animals with love and attention as if they were my own whether they were strays or belonged to friends/family. I have dog-walked and pet-sat for friends and family whenever they have needed help, making sure their pets are well taken care of not just physically but emotionally (to the best of my ability!) while they are away.
