Pet Sitting Monticello

About: I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember and have had dogs throughout my life. I’ve cared for up to three dogs at a time and have experience caring for both energetic puppies and senior dogs who need extra patience, attention, and care. Over the years, I’ve learned that every dog has their own personality, temperament, and individual needs. I take the time to understand each dog and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while they’re with me. When we’re out on walks, your dog’s safety is always my priority. I stay alert to our surroundings, watch for other dogs, people, traffic, and anything else that could potentially be a concern. I treat every dog as if they were my own and would always do everything I can to keep them safe. Most importantly, I genuinely love dogs and thankfully, they seem to love me right back! 🐾❤️ I look forward to getting to know your pup and giving them plenty of attention, exercise, and love along the way. I currently work full time at a school and typically finish my workday around 3:30 PM. Once I’m home and have taken care of my own two dogs, I have plenty of time in the afternoons and evenings to care for other pets. I’m flexible with my schedule and would make pet care a priority. I understand that every pet has different needs and routines, so I’m happy to work around their feeding, walking, and care schedules. Depending on the location and distance, I can plan my day accordingly to make sure each pup receives the time, attention, and care they need. I have two small dogs of my own. Casper is 8 years old and Coco is 7 months old. My dogs are truly members of our family, and our home is their home. They have plenty of freedom to relax and play throughout the day, and they love cuddling with us at night. Our routine includes time outside in our yard in the morning before work and again as soon as I get home. They also enjoy going for walks with me or my two boys. They are playful, love their toys, enjoy having visitors, and especially love spending time with my children. When caring for a client’s pet, I would treat them with the same patience, attention, and care that I give my own dogs. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, and I would make sure to follow their normal routine as closely as possible while providing plenty of love, supervision, and companionship.

About: I’m not sure who loves the cuddles more, me or the pups 😅❤️ my experience with pet sitting starts 15 years back - I grew up with 2 cats, 7 fish and 1 dog! More recently, I’ve been pet sitting for Rover and freelance since 2019. I also worked as a Day Shift Manager at a doggy daycare and boarding company over the summer, coordinating pick up and drop offs, mealtimes and special diets, and ensuring everyone received appropriate amounts of love, attention and energy regulation. I’m looking forward to lots of play, cuddles, and scenic walks - I’ll be sure to send tons of adorable photos to keep you updated. When you book with me, you can expect lots of fun pics and updates from your furry BFF while we hang. Feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns. 🤗 My schedule is open right now! I can’t wait to fill the calendar with bookings with your babies. I’m typically up and out for a walk with my coffee bright and early! I can’t wait to treat your fur baby like a king or queen in their castle! The safety and comfort of your pet is paramount to all else and they will be treated like the royalty they are!

About: As an experienced and long time foster, I have cared for dogs in my home with varying needs and personalities. I provide lots of affection, as well as necessary structure, to ensure a balanced and fun stay for all. I also have a sweet, Boxer-mix Zoe (50 lbs), and a Sato from Puerto Rico named Ellie (15 lbs), who love their foster siblings, and boarding mates & love to play, cuddle, and bring them out of their shell, especially little dogs. I have a few years of experience with rescue dogs, including puppy mill dogs, and street rescues, because of that I'm very confident working with shy, nervous dogs that need a little more TLC. In my personal time, I work as the social media coordinator for a dog rescue, and walk dogs for a friend's dog company.

“We couldn’t ask for a better cat sitter! Lillie is incredibly communicative and always sends the most thoughtful, funny, and sweet updates — which means so much when you’re away and missing your kitties! She gives them tons of love, playtime, and attention. She’s also really attentive and quick to notice any changes in behavior or eating/drinking habits, which we really appreciate. We always feel completely at ease knowing our cats are in Lillie’s care!”

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.

“Yvelene was amazing with communication while dropping in for my baby. It was nice feeling relieved I had someone professional and kind coming to my home to make sure my pup was taken care of. I highly recommend her!”

About: I grew up having dogs, cats, chickens, a turtle and a mouse and always wished to have more! And then started pet sitting for other people’s furry babies. I have experience with the most active and excited, as well as shy and quiet souls. I’ve learned how to take care of puppies and senior dogs. I’ve taken some classes for my mom’s dog to train him which gave me even more of an understanding of their behavior. But most of all, I truly love each pet I meet! I work as a nanny 9am-4pm on Monday& Tuesday. I do volunteer work a few hours throughout the week. please let me know your pet’s needs in advance! I mostly care for pets at your home. Let me know what your expectations are so I can carefully consider if I'm a good match for your pet!

About: From overnight stays and walks to playtime and cuddles, family and friends have entrusted me with the care of their fur baby. Being able to work with cats and dogs on a daily basis as a veterinary assistant continues to help me accumulate various skills to work with animals of all temperaments and ages! I’m currently working part time so I’d have flexible time to spend with your precious pups whether during the week or during the weekend ! Pups are off if their routine is off so if you have a specific schedule or way of doing things I can assure you I will stick to the game plan.
