Dog Sitting in Peekskill

About: I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities from calm, easygoing pups to nervous or strong dogs that sometimes think they’re training me on the leash. I stay calm in challenging situations and handle them safely without adding stress. I always follow owners’ instructions closely and keep routines consistent, but I’m also comfortable making quick, responsible decisions if something unexpected comes up. I’ve helped with medications, senior pets, and special diets when needed. I’m patient, attentive, and very observant with animals. I pay attention to changes in behavior, mood, and energy, and I always keep owners updated with photos and videos so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine, as I spend most of my time at home and can give pets consistent attention throughout the day. I’m available any day of the week, including weekends, and I’m always home overnight, which makes me a great fit for boarding and extended stays. My flexible schedule allows me to adapt to each pet’s routine and provide a calm, home-like environment where pets feel safe and well cared for. Safety and comfort are my top priorities. Pets in my home are supervised most of the time and cared for in a calm, structured environment. If needed, I can separate pets or use a crate provided by the owner to ensure everyone feels safe. During walks, I always use the owner’s equipment and follow their preferences closely. Walks are kept calm and controlled, and I avoid crowded areas. Pets are never off-leash unless explicitly approved. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I strictly follow house rules and handle keys or access responsibly. I communicate promptly about any concerns and will contact a veterinarian immediately in urgent situations.

“Candice was terrific with both of our dogs — they have opposite personalities and they clearly both warmed up to her quickly. She was communicative, reliable, capable and loving, and we won’t hesitate to use her again!”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my genuine love for animals, paired with hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages and personalities. Whether it’s helping a high-energy puppy learn good habits or giving extra patience and comfort to senior pets, I tailor my care to meet each pet’s unique needs. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine—it’s something I truly enjoy and prioritize. I’ve structured my schedule to allow plenty of time for walks, feeding, play, and one-on-one attention. Whether I’m doing drop-in visits, walks, or pet sitting, I make sure each pet gets the consistent care and companionship they need. I create a safe, comfortable, and welcoming space where pets can relax and feel at ease. I provide plenty of supervised playtime, regular walks, and lots of love and attention throughout the day. I stick closely to each pet’s routine—including feeding schedules, crate time, medications, or special needs—so they feel right at home even while they’re away from theirs.

“Samantha took great care of my dog on short notice and took some awesome photos!”

“Adrian dropped in for visits with our cat, Rusty, for one week. Rusty is a very fearful cat but seemed to feel comfortable to come for his meals with Adrian there. We loved receiving all the photos of our little guy and notes about how the visits had gone. Thanks for a good experience.”

About: My dog Chanel is my world so it would be a pleasure to share that same love to others. I’ve grown up around dogs between all of my family so this is a joy to experience. I currently work day shifts and very loyal to my schedule of care with my dog at home. It would be no burden or issue at all to care for others 4 legged friends. The same care I provide to my own as if she was my daughter is the same care I’d give to others pets. Any dog in my care is my family.

“Adrienne was great with Happy. It gave me such a relief that she was coming to take care of him. I intend to keep her coming back the next time.”

About: I've had dogs since I was a little girl and I love animals! I have experience walking dogs, pet sitting, babysitting, and housesitting. I love all animals no matter age or size. I'm currently working part-time so I am available most days including weekends! I am not available on Fridays. I am happy to help any other day. I can easily crate your dog if needed. I can keep your pet on a leash as well as avoid pulling on a walk. If your pet likes parks I would gladly take them!

“Ally is a fantastic sitter. She is attentive, punctual and keeps a wonderful open line of communication”

About: I worked at a pet store for 2 years where I took care of all kinds of different animals (birds, ferrets, reptiles, bunnies, etc.). I worked at a doggy daycare for a year and I have also been dog sitting and boarding for the past 2 years. I also have lived with dogs my whole life. I’m currently in college commuting only one day a week on Wednesdays until may 7th, so I am unavailable to do walks or pick up after 2 I care for pets in the way that the owner tells me works best for their pets. I don’t deviate from their schedule and care.

“Andrea is great! She’s reliable and always on time. I highly recommend her to anyone that needs drop in visits!”

About: I’m capable of taking care of chameleons, fish, rats and ferrets, as I’ve had all. Rats were my favorite and I plan to get more in the future, ferrets are runner up. My working hours are 10:30-7, so I’m available for a walk at 8 or 9 am and 8 pm. Mondays are more flexible. Not every day is exactly the same though so ask me about a time and I may have a pocket of time! I’m a licensed nail tech and I’ve opened my own business (Studio Rose 24) so I have fairly good flexibility. I send pictures to all my clients, not always because of trust, but because we all think about and miss our babies when we’re out of town.

About: If you have any additional questions please feel free to ask! just message me @ cell: 845-204- five two two one. You will have no regrets, I am the man for the job. I am a very responsible, and caring individual that will work hard with whatever I put my mind to. I am a male in my 30’s that is keeping young and healthy by going to the gym, running, working, and playing sports. I have always had a passion for those things since I was young so I still try and keep them in my everyday life. I grew up with great family and friends, and a lot of pets! Dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, hamsters, you name It. We have had a lot of pets, mainly dogs throughout life my family and I. I have had mixed breeds, labs, pit bulls, Dalmatian, Yorky, pug, and a golden retriever of my own. I have a lot of experience caring for and taking care of pets. Taking care of my own, family and friends’, and others too. I’ve found a dog recently in Middletown, NY running the streets in the snow looking like it needed some help, so I rescued it. The dog was wet, his foot was cut, so I put him in my car with me. I dried him up, wrapped up his foot, got him some water and then continued to ride around town in my car for the next couple of hours to figure out who the owner was. Mission Accomplished after a while, and the family was very thankful. If you have any questions about anything! Let me know.

About: My background in vet care and animal behavior helps me handle dogs of all sizes and energy levels. I’m confident with seniors, shy pups, and dogs that need medication. I give safe walks, follow your routine closely, and keep you updated with photos every visit. I’m home from college for winter break and have a very open schedule, so pet care fits easily into my day. I’m available mornings, afternoons, and evenings for walks, drop-ins, or longer visits. I plan my day around the pets I’m caring for, making sure they stay on their normal routine with consistent feeding, playtime, and walks. In a client’s home, I follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I handle feeding, walks, litter boxes, playtime, and any medications exactly as instructed. I keep the home tidy, respect your space, and make sure your pet feels safe and relaxed. I always provide photo updates and communicate after every visit.

About: I've had dogs my whole life and have cared for dog at every size and life stage. From puppies to seniors, I'm happy to cater to your dogs needs. For walks, I have experience with dogs who are pullers and those who like to go at a slower pace. I also have experience cat sitting for a few family friends cats. Just let me know the type of attention your pet needs and I'm happy to cater to them. Also, I am a current online graduate student so I have lots of time to hang out with your furry family members! I'm currently pursuing an online masters degree, which means I am very flexible with my hours. As long as I can bring my computer to get some work done during the day, anytime is fine with me. I would love to cuddle with your pet while watching lectures, and take much needed study breaks to go for a walk or play a game of fetch! I have experience housesitting while watching furry friends. I'm happy to cater to your pets' needs and find what activity is the most fulfilling for them.

“Crystal was great with our babies. She was very dependable and efficient. My cats were just fine under her care. We would definitely hire her again!”

About: I grew up having dogs! My family had the sweetest golden retriever growing up. She loved going for walks and loved meeting new people. We took care of her through an injury and arthritis which made walking challenging. My family got another dog who is a giant mix rescue with a very different temperament. She is terrified of new people and hates the mailman but I have worked with her to interact with others and work through some of her fears. I have also spent a lot of time with friends and family dogs and have dog sat a few times, too. I am looking for summer care options as I will have free time since I am a full-time teacher. I would be able to help out during the day. I am a reliable person who takes care of people's property. I will follow all instructions left by owners and do everything I can for their fur babies. I can walk, feed, and clean up after pets.

About: My Husband and I cared for dogs of all breeds and personalities for over 5 years, from energetic Jack Russells to gentle Siberian Huskies and playful Golden Doodles. My experience spans everything from puppy training to senior dog care, and I specialize in creating a calm, fun, and safe environment especially in my fully fenced backyard, where dogs love to run and play. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me time and again to love their pets like my own. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just some belly rubs, I’m here to make tails wag and pet parents feel at ease. We have open availability and can provide care that fits your schedule whether it’s daytime walks, overnight stays, or weekend boarding. I work from home part-time, so your dog will never be left alone for long. They’ll get plenty of attention, playtime, and snuggles throughout the day. Your dog will feel right at home in my secure, fenced yard with plenty of room to play. I have two well-behaved dogs who are great with guests, and I’m happy to crate your pup if needed. I create a calm, structured environment that adapts to your dog’s personality whether they’re high-energy or a little shy.

About: Hi! I'm Brittany. Nice to meet you! I have around 9+ combined years of experience petsitting and a lifetime of experience around animals. I have always loved animals and started dogwalking as a small side job in 2012 in highschool. I got my real start in 2018 working full-time for a small pet-sitting business, where I learned the ropes and built the skills I still use every day. Since about 2020 I have branched off independently and have continued to be a trusted local petsitter for many clients in my area. Other than petsitting I work at a local pet store, if you know me please say hello! I value myself as trusted petsitter in my community, with many of my clients existing through referrals, past pet sitting connections, and from the pet store where I work. Several of my clients have been kind enough to leave me Rover reviews to help support my business (although the new review window has closed I am happy to provide more recent references upon request). Most of my business actively continues through those channels, but I decided to keep Rover as a way to add a little extra outreach and connect with new families. Please let me know if you would like any extra references for your comfort. I am excited for the chance to meet more furry and non furry friends. I have experience caring for all kinds of pets including super seniors, puppies and kittens, and dogs and cats with a wide variety of medical conditions requiring administration of regular meds, treatments, or insulin. I am familar with pets with strict dietary requirements or regimens (dont worry its not too complicated!). I am comfortable handling strong pullers, leash aggressive/reactive dogs and have a gentle touch to be able to bond with fearful feral cats. I also have experience with aquatic pets, small animals like chinchillas, guinea pigs, hamsters, and rabbits and some experience with lizards and birds. I can also do water parameter testing on your aquariums if equipment is provided to me. Pets are truly my life! And I know your pets are Your life so I will always do everything to ensure your pets are loved, safe, and cared for while you are away and make sure we have lots of fun too! I work at a pet store 6 days a week from 10–6 with a midday break I use for visits. For pets needing 1 or 2 visits a day, they will happen before and/or after those hours. For overnight or 3x visit a day clients I will provide one of the visits during my lunch break. Since I work at a pet store, I can easily grab many forgotten or necessary items for your pet anytime. My schedule ensures I am usually only ever away for ~5 hours at a time. Pets I care for must be okay with some time by themselves, since my bookings are not considered 24/7 care (non -constant). If you need something more full-time, please feel free to message me and I may be able to work something out depending on the request. The schedule I keep generally works well for my clients and the majority of pet owners, but for special circumstances I can make adjustments for specific days if necessary Overnights typically include Dinner care through Breakfast care and a single return visit midday. I require all of my clients to provide up to date preferred vet information, emergency contact info and provide me prior authorization to seek emergency care for their pets. To this date I have never had to use that information for any emergencies, but I always ask for it. Other than that I will strictly follow rules requested of me, I never do any off leash without being explicitly instructed to, and will only ever provide pets snacks and food that are indicated to me to use for them. I will never take any unnecessary risks with your pet or with your home. I am always respectful with homes and try to leave them as close to how it was before or cleaner than when I arrived as possible. I will make sure plants are watered, mail is inside and check in regularly with images. I am also open to some video or voice calling with your pets if requested. I am unable to provide full home cleaning services, however, I will within reason wash requested items (such as bedding or towels), clean up after myself, and make sure pet areas and bowls are kept tidy.

“Lindsey was fantastic! She took great care of my cats and home. Will definitely be using her again!”
