“Was so happy to find someone to take care of our dog during a holiday, and we felt better knowing he was safe with Mario! We did a doggie day care day with him in advance so they could get to know each other, and our dog was excited to see Mario when we dropped him off for an overnight! We received updates during the stay also. Would definitely recommend Mario and will book him again for future dog watching needs!”

About: We (fiancé and I) have been pet owners our entire lives. I own and have cared for horses, dogs, cats, guinea pigs, and more. We have a single family home, in a safe and quiet neighborhood in the heart of Pleasant Valley. Our fenced in backyard has poles, jumps, and tunnels to entertain your furry friend with dog agility! Our flexible schedule( myself and fiancé) allow us to care for your dog day and night, in a safe and secure setting. I work remotely most of the week. Our property has a fenced in backyard in safe and quiet neighborhood. We treat our doggy guests like our own, and they will have lots of fun playing in the comfort of our home. We have two friendly dogs, a Cockapoo and Jack Russell, both males who love interacting with all dog breeds.
“I can’t rave about Jasmine’s care for my pup enough. She even picked her up from us for no extra charge. When I checked in on the second day of Jazz’s stay, Jasmine told me she was “right at home”. I took that at face value until the moment we picked Jazz up...She was only semi-excited to come home! LOL. Highly recommend Jasmine for all your pet service needs!”
About: I've been petsitting for almost 20 years and I was able to adopt a sweet senior mini-schnauzer in 2021 named Marty. Marty 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 fairy friends for a visit for a day or overnight. I'm available on weekends or when school is out (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 and to sleep with me. If they are more comfortable in a crate, I've got room in for that too.
“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!”

“A few firsts: a first-time booking with Rover and a first time my Charlie ALMOST didn’t want to come home with me 🥴🐶 Kimberly’s a gem…warm & caring & communicative & totally convenient. Highly recommend!”


“My dog had a great time with Jennifer, Thomas and their kids. They’ shared photos of her getting petted on the couch and going on walks. She was exhausted when she came home after having had a very fun day with this lovely family.”

“This was my first time using Rover and Cory made it a great experience. She was friendly, caring and made me feel very comfortable leaving my two dogs with her for the week. I was anxious about it but she sent photos and made me feel at ease that the pups were doing well. I like her setup too, the dogs got to play outside and with her family which was a nice bonus! I will definitely use her again in the future. Thanks again Cory!”
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!
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
“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!”

“It was our first time leaving our little\big pup. We were nervous but he had such a blast he barely missed us lol. Blitzen was able to socialize with Dawn’a dog Maestro and other people which is ideal for a pup. Dawn sent lots of videos and pictures while we were away which made us feel at ease. It’s nice when you can go away & know your fur babies are taken care of.”
“Jessie took such great care of my dog at her house and was such a great communicator. It was so nice to not have to be worried while I was away and I am so happy I found her! 10/10 recommend”

“I cannot recommend Stephen enough. He took amazing care of our Buddy while we were away. He communicated and sent us videos and updates every day. He was cautious when introducing Buddy to the other dogs in his care and we had a meet and greet prior to the stay which I appreciate, he goes above and beyond to make sure the dogs in his care are compatible to keep all dogs safe. I look forward to using him in the future and I know Buddy will too. You can see that dogs in Stephens care are treated as his own and that is so comforting when leaving your dog in his care.”

About: I’ve been around dogs all my life! I grew up in the country side of Ireland and had many sheep dogs through my childhood. My love for animals started at a young age and quickly learned how smart and special they truly are. Through out the years I’ve developed an intuitive approach to caring for each animals individual personality and needs. This is my full time job Monday through Friday. Rates are listed but please note ! (Anything over 8hrs is an additional $20/hr) for daycare. I have a fenced yard for your dog to play and would never have more than 5/6 dogs at a time.I also live in a very walkable neighborhood with sidewalks and I’m close to , parks, farms, and nature hikes. Sadly I no longer have a pup of my own as he recently passed away.
“Katherine was a great sitter. She really loves dogs and my dog Tyson had the greatest time her and her dog Tilly. They got along really well. Thank you so much for loving my dog for the weekend! It's so comforting to know your dog is having a great time while you are away.”

Poughkeepsie pet parents share their Rover experiences
Mildred along with her family was amazing with my dog. Very kind and patient. Mildred and her husband and made it easy for me leaving my dog being that this was his first time being boarded. The house along with location was amazing. Great fenced in back yard for your dog to run around and play freely. My dog did not want to leave once I picked him up. I highly recommend Mildred and her family to watch your furry pets. Getting updates on my dog condition was helpful and warming at the same time.
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!

Catherine was so wonderful with our 2 dogs. We had never left our pups with anyone and we were a bit worried. Catherine kept in touch and sent pictures which really helped ease our mind. The dogs were so comfortable with her and I will definitely use her again if needed.
