Incredible! Communicative through the entire stay and my apartment is cleaner than i left it which is so Incredibly nice of her! I'm so pleased, and though this was a one-off/unlikely to need a dog sitter again type of vacation, I would without a doubt use Rose again if needed.

Michele is an absolute dream! My husband and I booked her for a weekend to watch our senior Basset Hound, Lady, and she made us (and Lady) feel SO at ease. Lady is older and needs medication, so we're always nervous leaving her with other people, but Michele really did such an amazing job with her. She sent us tons of updates throughout the weekend—photos, detailed reports on how everything was going, etc. We felt very comfortable knowing Lady was in such good hands. Michele even went as far as keeping the exact (quite detailed lol) routine we have for Lady and accepted all her quirks with open arms. She really went above and beyond for us. If you're looking for someone who will love your dog as much as you do while you're away, book Michele!

Elisha did a wonderful job watching my shy pup and two kitties while we were gone for an evening. Although my dog is rather nervous around strangers, my pup ended up sleeping with Elisha during a storm. It gave me great comfort to know my animals were being looked after during the storm and while we were away. Looking forward to having her watch my pets again next week!! Thanks for everything, Elisha!

We had such a wonderful experience with Katherine caring for our two cats. From the very beginning, she was incredibly communicative, thoughtful, and reliable. She kept us updated consistently with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It’s clear she’s both experienced and genuinely caring - our cats felt comfortable with her right away. She was attentive to their routines and gave them lots of playtime and love. We came home to two very happy, relaxed cats and a house that was just as we left it. We felt confident the entire time that they were in safe, capable hands. We wouldn’t hesitate to book her again and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a great sitter!

Arsen and Sophia did a great job. They communicated well, sent funny pics and we returned to a calm dog who clearly liked them and was sad to see them leave. House was clean. Would hire them again anytime.

Sophie took wonderful care of our two kittens while we were away on a long trip. Since it was our first time using a sitter, we were pretty nervous but she was very communicative and attentive which gave us so much peace of mind. We could tell that she was going above and beyond to make sure they had lots of love and attention. When we came home, it was clear they had been well cared for—happy, healthy, and content. We’re so grateful and would love for Sophie to watch our girls again sometime.

From the moment that I met Emily, I understood that her relationships with animals are deeply reciprocal. She is a patient and caring friend and enjoys the love that they offer in return. Emily stayed with my senior Boxer for 10 days at my home. She was a conscientious sitter -- taking perfect care of my home and of my pet. Knuckie typically experiences a few days of depression and hives when I leave but with Emily he was in good spirits, eating and in his normal routine. Honestly, he looked fantastic when I returned -- like he'd had a week at a spa. Emily's communication was perfect and she even went above and beyond to have a food order for us when our late flight arrived! I give Emily my highest recommendation!

Nicole is kind, responsive and attentive. She did a great job staying at my house with my dogs while I was traveling. Nicole sent me photos and updates, including playing ball with my high energy bernadoodle! The house was clean when I returned which I really appreciate. I will definitely book Nicole again!

About: I’ve had both professional and personal experience taking care of dogs for years! My number one concern when watching someone’s furry family member is safety/making sure needs are met and everything after that is playtime and adventuring! Pet care is already part of my daily routine because I have my own dog named Stella who is an extremely active 5 year old dog (who constantly needs to be exercised). I work part time and am home in the mornings and afternoon. Our dog goes out every few hours on a leash in our community or to the fenced in dog park we have here at the property. I have no problem going to the lake or hiking with your fur baby because it’s one of my dogs favorite activity. If your dog needs to be crated or walked alone that is something I can accommodate as well.

About: I've been taking care of dogs since I was five years old and continued to get more dogs. I have dog sat for multiple friends and family rating from dogs and cats. As far as training animals, I did grow up with having to train them so I do have some experience. I am currently working part time and go to community college but will be able to manage and work out a schedule that will be accommodating. I have 3 dogs that have invisible fences outside so they can roam free without getting lost, going to the road, running off. I have a big yard surrounding my house so they are used to running around freely. When it gets too cold they come in to the house or garage with my father. I am used to walking dogs as they do get walked on occasion at home or if we have them out of the house. I do not off offer services that welcome pets into my house but I am accommodating as necessary and will offer services at your residency.

About: Hello! As a 20 year old who loves dogs I cannot wait to get to know you and your pet! I have had dogs my entire life, I have successfully trained multiple puppies and taken care of senior dogs. I can give your dog the attention they need. I live in an area surrounded by woods and if wanted, two English cocker spaniels to keep great company!

What sets me apart is my commitment to treating every pet like family. I offer responsibility, honesty, love, and reliability that you can most importantly, count on. Certifications in Pet first aid, Animal poison control, and Animal Behavior I have plenty of flexibility to focus on providing attentive and reliable care for your pets. I have the time and energy to ensure they’re happy, comfortable, and well-cared for! I provide a safe, loving environment for pets, whether in my home or yours. I ensure their routines are followed, offering care, comfort, and attention.

About: Hi! My name is Andrea. I have lived in the Hudson Valley for almost 4 years now, and have been working in the area off and on since 2014. I live with my partner, Mike, and precious pup Kona. I have always lived with dogs. And recently, have been thinking about getting a cat! I am an Occupational Therapist in a school district full time and love to farm and bicycle during my off time. I’ve done house sitting and dog sitting previously and enjoyed the work. I have my own vehicle and am used to commuting around the Hudson Valley for work and for fun. I wanted to get back into dog sitting and pet sitting to assist in getting a new car and to get to spend time with pets! I have always been obsessed with dogs! I show that through meeting as many as I can when out in the community :). I am active person, so long walks and playing is something I can provide. I am open to any requests you might have and am great at keeping in touch with pet parents. I can always be available through text, call, or email. I’m so excited to meet you and your lovely pets!! I have a full time job, so weekends are my only availability. However, I am open to discuss any special circumstances! I might potentially be more available on a long weekend, when I am off from my school based job. I would want to care for your pets as you would or how you would want. I am great with a schedule and specific requests.
