“Bea’s stay with Mildred and her family was all I could have hoped for and more. They took good care of Bea and loved her like she was their own. Mildred also kept in constant contact and gave me updates and pictures of Bea the entire time. I will 100% use them again knowing I can trust my baby is in the best hands. I can’t thank Mildred and her family enough! You should definitely book your dog to stay with her!”

“I'm a repeat customer. Volha and family provided a happy and loving home for my dog. My pooch received the attention that she loves and they were able to administer her meds as well. I am satisfied they were available when my plans changed at the last minute. Highly recommend; my fur baby was very happy and bubbly when I picked her up.”

“Our little guy, Wrigley, had an absolutely wonderful stay with Judy and Steven! I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for a warm, welcoming environment for their pup. As a beagle, Wrigley usually hates being left behind—but I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such caring hands. He got the royal treatment with pup cups, plenty of love and attention, and he even made a new friend in their sweet dog, Ginger. Thank you, Judy and Steven, for making Wrigley feel so at home and for giving me such peace of mind!”

“I recently had Cherissa watch over my mini Goldendoodle, Sofia, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the very first interaction, she was professional, kind, and clearly passionate about animals. Cherissa and her family took the time to get to know Sofia’s routine, preferences, and any special needs, which made me feel totally at ease. While I was away, she provided regular updates—including photos and messages—which really reassured me that my pet was happy and well cared for. I highly recommend Cherissa and her family to anyone looking for reliable and compassionate pet care. I’ll definitely be booking with them again in the future!”

“Amruta took great care of our bichon and goldendoodle when they boarded with her. They came back home very happy and healthy. She sent regular updates on a daily basis along with pictures and videos of the dogs. Amruta also took very good care of their meals and breaks. She is very responsive to any questions and provides timely updates. Thank you so much, Amruta.”

“Donna is absolutely great, very nice, accommodating and very punctual. She sent many pictures with our dog, who seemed very happy and well taken care of. We are very pleased to have met her and shall definitely contact her again for future bookings. Thank you, Donna!”

“Jeff was a wonderful sitter! He sent lots of pictures of Cubby having fun! She was tired when she got home so know she had a great time with both his dog and Jeff. Will definitely use Jeff again!”

“I have always been very happy with Maria watching our dogs. I have used her any time we go on vacation and my daughter is a regular customer now too. The thing I like best ( and my dogs like too) is this is not a kennel- it’s a home that they become part of the family. My dogs never liked kennels and became very upset whenever I brought them to one. At Maria’s they jumped out of the car and were happy to be there - like visiting a relative home. I’m very glad I found Maria and most of all my dogs are very glad too!”

“Thalya did great with my pup Apollo! She took him out for long walks to get his energy out and sent frequent updates and pictures letting me know how things were going. Highly recommended! I felt at ease knowing my pup was in good hands.”

“Matthew and his family are excellent dog caregivers! They have a very large fenced yard for the dogs to play. They are very attentive and sent many photos! I have an older newly adopted dog, they were so sweet and gentle with her. I highly recommend them!!!”

“Brandie treated our gal like family! we dont live local but if we did we would book with her again and again. Millie didnt want to leave! Great updates and great space for the pups to play!”

“Cristian went above and beyond to make sure i felt 100% comfortable while i was boarding my pit mix Nala for 11 days for the first time. Nala even sadly got a pretty severe UTI during her stay and Cristian was so on top of it with photos, concern, and ended up even taking her to the vet for me and getting the care she needed. Even with a 6hr time change he managed to keep up with great communication and updates throughout the stay. I truly couldn’t be happier with my experience. He will definitely be my top choice in the future - no question. Thank you endlessly Cristian!”

“Nicole and Csaba were wonderful with my dog, Tate. It’s very clear how much they care about dogs and how involved they are during the stay. I received frequent updates and Tate looked incredibly happy in every picture and video. I will most certainly use their services again in the future.”

“Brittany was reliable and timely in communicating. Our fur babies had a good time with her and they came home feeling good. She was polite to interact with. We will be using her again if we need a sitter!”

“Kenniqua was incredible! She took my request last minute due to a family emergency, and she really eased the stress of that weekend. Our dog was happy, got to sleep on the bed, and got walks. Her space was calm and her dog Honey was a sweetie. Kenniqua provided updates and wonderful communication. Will definitely ask Kenniqua to care for my pup again. Thank you for helping us out, Kenniqua!!”

About: I am affectionate and I love observing the character of each furry one. I have had very good experiences with the noble hearts of the furry ones. After breakfast I like to write in my diary, fill myself with good vibes with the sun and go out for a walk and meditate, when I come back I take a bath and get ready to go to work, I have a yard and fanced, I don't have furry ones at home but I love taking pictures. I have patiencee ee ee ee e
“Jack and I are so blessed to have Gabriel and Annie. I always feel confident that my sweet boy is going to be well cared for. They are very loving and attentive to my fragile old boy. Thank you both once again for giving me peace during my time away from Jack. I will be forever grateful ❤️”

Poughkeepsie dog parents share their Rover experiences
I left Hussle with Mildred, and from the very beginning she made me feel comfortable. We did a meet and greet a few weeks beforehand, which helped ease my nerves as a dog mom. While he was with her, she kept me updated and sent plenty of pictures. It was clear he was having the best time. When he came home, he was completely exhausted from all the fun and excitement. Mildred took great care of my baby, and I couldn’t have been happier with the service she provided. I will definitely be using her again and again. Thank you for loving on Hussle like he was your own! 🐾💙

Amruta is the BEST! She watched our dog Skip for almost 3 weeks while we were on vacation and during that time she sent daily pics, videos and updates. She is a dream dog sitter: Caring, smart, trustworthy, and responsible. Pretty sure Skip misses her :) We will definitely book again!
