Pet Boarding Poughkeepsie

About: I've been petsitting for over 20 years and I am also proud fur mama to a 14 lb. Yorkie/Dachsund names Maximillian. Max LOVES other dogs and we would love to keep your dog company while you're out of town. I'm on vacation for the summer so we would love to host your furry friends for a visit for a day or overnight or visit them at your place. I'm available during the summer/school breaks and on weekends during the school year (I'm a teacher). I'll have lots of time for walks, belly rubs. I live close to the rail trail and the walkway. Dogs are welcome on the couch. There's lots of space here to roll around on the floor, play fetch, bask in the sun on the fenced-in patio. For boarding, dogs must be crate trained, since I don't want to risk any harm to my dog or yours while I'm out.

“Mario was so great to work with. He was thoughtful, kind, sent lots of cute updates, and most importantly he treated Eiger like a part of his family! I felt super confident leaving Eiger with him for the weekend. Thanks Mario!”

“Chaqutia looked after my pup, Ralph, for just over a week. I was nervous about leaving him for such a long period of time especially as he was unwell. Chaqutia put my mind at ease instantly and sent updates multiple times throughout the day of both photos and videos as well as a report of how he did with his food and confirming he took his meds. Any questions I had or suggestions I made, she responded to promptly. She’s a very kind and caring person and also very responsible with things like a camera set up in the room dogs sleep in to check on throughout the night. She was flexible with both pick up and drop off times and really listened to our needs Her home is beautiful, large and on a very quiet secluded road which was reassuring as less traffic. Her family are truly lovely and her eldest child played with Ralph lots (particularly loved those videos) Would definitely use Chaqutia again and recommend her to others!”

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

“Gabriel and Annie were wonderful hosts and caretakers for our two pups. Our Australian Cattle Dog and Aussie mix are a handful—energetic, high maintenance, and demanding, with daily exercise/stimulation requirements that can be somewhat daunting. But Gabriel and Annie handled the dogs' every need for a week-long stay. They integrated our dogs into their pack and ensured a safe and playful environment for everyone. And they sent regular updates with cute photos to show us how things were going, putting our minds at ease. Recommended!”

“Jennifer, Thomas and their girls took such good care of our pup. They sent frequent updates and photos throughout the visit, and we could instantly tell how comfortable our dog was in their home. Cannot recommend them enough!”

“Stephanie took amazing care of my two older pups. Her home was welcoming, and her pets had a blast with their new playmates while we were out of town, Stephanie provided consistent updates and photos, we were able to relax and enjoy our getaway knowing they were in good hands. I will definitely be returning!”

“Jennifer was an excellent sitter! She sent lots of updates and photos, and it was clear that Juliette was well cared for and having a great time. She even got her a little lamb toy, which was so sweet and unexpected. Would recommend her completely!”

“Megen was great, our dog came back very happy! Megen's pets were great play friends and she communicated well while we were away. Megen was also very flexible with drop off and pick up which we really appreciated.”

“Tara was great! She kept us posted with all day activities. She sent our dog home happily with a cute little toy. We’ll definitely book her again!”

“We were worried about leaving our nervous dog with anyone while we went away for a few days. Yaletsy was available and we felt pretty good about her after reading her bio and seeing pics of her and the dogs she’s sat for. As I drove away from dropping off Cuddles, I was a bit worried because he had never spent time away from us overnight and especially at a strangers home. It didn’t take long before we received some cute pics and updates to let us know what was going on with him. He was indeed nervous. Yaletsy asked us some questions about what might make him more comfortable so we shared some of the insight we had with our pup. Within a short period Cuddles was comfortable enough to go on a walk, have some dinner and relax with Yaletsy. Constant updates and pics made us realize that he was indeed cared for. We are so happy that we came in contact with her and had such a great experience. I know many people are hesitant to drop off their pets with someone they haven’t met but we know now that a great connection was made and we will be comfortable in asking her to help Cuddles again. We will definitely call on Yaletsy in the near future. She is a wonderful, kind and patient person more than capable of caring for your pup.”

About: I’ve cared for dogs at different life stages, including raising a dog from puppyhood and providing dedicated care for a senior rescue. I also have experience administering medication, including for dogs with congestive heart failure. I’m attentive to routines, behavior changes, and understand the importance of patience, consistency, and safety in pet care. I work part-time and am available for pet care on weekdays after 1 PM and on weekends. I plan my schedule to provide consistent attention, including walks, feeding, and medication routines. I’m reliable with timing and make sure each dog’s routine is followed closely. I provide a calm, structured home environment that works well for gentle, low-energy, or senior dogs. I have two young children who are taught to respect dogs’ space, so I only accept dogs that are comfortable around kids and have a calm temperament. While my yard is not fenced, all outdoor time is supervised and dogs are kept safely leashed. I do not have other pets, allowing me to give your dog focused, one-on-one attention. I follow routines closely, including medications, feeding schedules, and any special care instructions. I require a meet-and-greet to ensure a good fit for everyone’s safety and comfort.

“We will definitely be coming back to Danielle. Our two dogs got lots of attention in her home. In the past, our dogs would show signs of stress after being in a kennel. No signs of stress this time. I was really pleased to see how happy they were. Danielle, From our family to yours, "thank you for taking such good care of our girls.' Regards, Peter”

“Dawn is fantastic - we have finally found our official dog-sitter. Our normally shy dog Willa took to her and Maestro (Dawn's amazing dog) immediately and wasted no time making herself at home in Dawn's beautiful home. Dawn is an excellent communicator and provided lots of updates, photos and details of each day. Would 100% recommend!”

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life. My earliest memory is of my German shepherd at 3 years old running up to me and giving me lots of love and kisses. We can play as much as needed outside or just chill and relax inside with our friends. I am home most days so am generally available unless I get booked up to take care of your fur baby! You can rest assured your pet will be given lots of love with me! I have a toy poodle that loves company and playing with other dogs! I also welcome cats and can provide a large range of space or a more isolated environment, whatever they prefer!
