Pet Sitting Poughkeepsie

“Timothy is absolutely amazing! I can’t recommend him enough. He takes such wonderful care of my two dogs, Tess and Nipsy, and it’s obvious how much he genuinely cares about them. They absolutely adore him and are always so excited to see him, which gives me so much peace of mind knowing they’re with someone they trust and love. Timothy is dependable, trustworthy, kind, and incredibly attentive. He treats Tess and Nipsy like they’re his own, and that means everything to me. Finding someone you can completely trust with your fur babies isn’t always easy, and I feel incredibly lucky to have found him. If you’re looking for a dog walker who is reliable, caring, and truly goes above and beyond, Timothy is your guy! Tess, Nipsy, and I give him 10/10 — five stars all the way! 🐾❤️⭐️”

About: I have loved dogs my entire life and cared for them since I was young. With my own two dogs, I cherish the time I spend with them, including when I walk them, feed them, and play with them. I will do my very best to treat your pet like my own and make them feel comfortable and happy! I am currently in school, but I will still have plenty of time to take care of your pet! My schedule is reasonably flexible with available times throughout the day, but mostly in the afternoon. In your home I would love to check in on your pet and give them tons of attention and cuddles. I will do my best to leave a happy pet waiting for your return!!

About: I have taken care of multiple relatives dogs for as long as I can remember. I was responsible for feeding them (whether it was regular dog food or a special concoction), taking them out for walks, giving them pets and taking them to the park. I have mainly taken care of older dogs, but they were big and energetic! I also have grown up with a cats, Guinea pigs, fish and hermit crabs at one point! I’m currently a full time college student, but I have room in my schedule to take care of your animals and give them all the love and play they need! Growing up with animals, I am very receptive on how to take care of them. I have dog sat for multiple people and I have had cats my whole life!

About: I’ve been caring for and looking after animals since I was a teenager. From caring for my own childhood pets to helping family members with theirs, animals have always been a big part of my life. As I’ve gotten older, I’ve moved closer to family in Hyde Park, where I’ve continued to grow my experience as a pet sitter more professionally. My aunt, who is also a pet sitter, introduced me to some of her clients in the area, which gave me the opportunity to build my own clientele and develop lasting relationships with both pets and their owners. I’ve cared for all kinds of dogs, from small French Bulldogs to larger breeds like Pit Bulls, as well as some of the sweetest cats. Every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I always do my best to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. My clients trust me to care for their pets as if they were my own. I’m comfortable with feeding, giving vitamins and medications, providing treats, going on walks, playing, and, of course, giving plenty of cuddles and snuggles on the couch. I truly enjoy getting to know each pet and making sure they receive the attention, care, and affection they deserve. I’m currently working part time, so I’ll have plenty of time of time to hang out with your fur babies! Whether it be in your home or on walks outside! When caring for your pets in your home, my priority is to provide them with the same love, attention, and routine they are accustomed to while you’re away. I take the time to learn each pet’s individual routine, personality, and needs. This includes following their regular feeding schedule, providing fresh water, administering vitamins or medications as instructed, giving treats, taking dogs on walks, and making sure they receive plenty of playtime, attention, and affection. I also understand that caring for your pets means caring for your home. I am respectful of your space and will make sure your home is kept neat and secure throughout my stay. I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pets are happy, safe, and well cared for. Most importantly, I treat every animal as if they were my own. My goal is for your pets to feel comfortable, loved, and cared for in the place they know best their own home.

About: I've been lucky enough to have a dog in my life since I was 8 years old, and now I'm 20! My dog is 13 years old, and caring for her has taught me so much about patience and responsibility. She takes multiple medications, so I'm very comfortable with medication schedules and making sure pets receive the care they need on time. I've also looked after other pets for family and friends like my friend's 3 cats, Rocky, Pepper and Sage, during school breaks, and the cutest dog in the world, Abby. These experiences helped me become confident caring for pets with different personalities, routines, and needs!! I truly love spending time with animals, cuddling, playing, keeping them company, or just making sure they stay active and happy. I'm an outdoorsy person who enjoys hiking and walking, so I'd be happy to take your dog on walks and adventures if needed. I'm reliable, attentive, and comfortable with feeding and following special instructions to ensure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for! I’m planning to have an internship, so I’ll be working full days but will be able to periodically check in on your animals!! I love to play and spend time with them, and you can trust they’re in great hands! My puppy is 13 years old, and is on many medications, has specific feeding times and diet, but she still loves to play and go on walks! I’m super organized and take very good care of her.

About: I know how stressful it can be leaving your pet behind, so my goal is to make the experience as smooth and comfortable as possible—for both you and your pet. I’m calm, attentive, and great at sticking to routines. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, or somewhere in between, I provide a safe, loving environment they can relax in. I currently am a student from home so I have more than enough time to take care of your furry companion while you are away. I used to walk my dog around my neighborhood sometimes to the river If it’s really nice out just get her some fresh air. Proper feeding times and bathroom breaks.

About: I have 5 years of pet care experience and understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members. I love spending time with dogs and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m happy to help with feeding, walks, playtime, keeping their space clean, and giving them plenty of attention and affection. I understand that every dog has their own personality and routine, and I’ll do my best to make sure they feel right at home. I know how much pets mean to their families, and I’ll treat your dog with the same love and care I would give my own! I love making sure animals feel safe loved and comfortable. I plan my schedule carefully to make sure I can give each pet the time and attention they deserve. I’m dependable, organized, and understand how important it is to keep pets on their usual routines while their owners are away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to follow their usual routines as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and any special instructions. I want every pet to feel comfortable and safe in their own environment while their owner is away. I give them plenty of attention, keep their spaces clean, and make sure they always have fresh water. I also believe communication is important, so I’m happy to send updates and pictures to keep owners informed. My goal is to make sure every pet feels loved and well cared for, just like I would care for my own dog.

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.

“Samantha was consistent, caring and attentive to my cat. Great communication.”

“Barbara was incredible, and took such good care of my cat. I didn't have to worry about anything for even a moment. Barbara was really good at touching base and sending photos, which I appreciated. She even brought a package in that was sitting outside our door! She is kind, compassionate, and so thoughtful. It’s such a good feeling when you find someone you trust to watch your pet while you’re away. Thank you, Barbara!!”

About: I grew up in a household always with a pet and sometimes two. Having mostly taken care of small/medium sizes dogs and some large. Ive pet sit before for different friends and family, taking care of a variety of breeds, all the way from Chihuahuas and Jack Russel Terriers to Huskies and Golden retrievers. Currently I have no pets permanently living with me since I moved away from home for college. But on occasion I pet sit for my parents or take their dog to doggy day care. Im a part time college student and I do all my schooling online, so i'm always home. I do work in the evenings for 4-6 hours but I live with my sister who is a web designer and is often home too. I currently live in a townhouse, which has plenty of room for your furry friend. I don't mind your doggo lounging on the furniture or sleeping on the bed with me. I can feed your pet based on whatever schedule you have them on. There's plenty of grassy area in the communal living area and a near by park to take your pup on daily walks. I also love to give photos and video updates of your pets stay with me.
