Pet Sitting in Poughkeepsie

“Danielle was great. I booked last minute when my regular sitter was unavailable and she was able to come over for a quick meet and greet the night before we left. She was prompt with her visits and took great care of my pets.”

“Great with the dogs and reliable”

Cory R.

“Amazing dog sitter! She takes great care of my pups, updates me regularly, and sends pictures during every visit. I never worry about leaving them because they are always so well taken care of by Alexandria. Can’t recommend her enough!”

About: I’ve had dogs, cats, reptiles my whole life. Now I’m a toddler/cat mom looking to help take care of your fur babies. I’m one of my friends first picks to pet sit or walk their dogs. I’ve sat and walked Australian Cattle Dogs, PitBulls, Labs, Mutts, Chihuahua’s. Any dog big or small is welcome. I will not be offering boarding in my home at this time due to having an elderly cat that I do not wish to stress out. But I am very interested in walking any pups and low maintenance pet sitting. My schedule is very flexible. I’ve been told that my calm demeanor is suitable for anxious dogs. Let me help you! I work full time, 95% remotely. I create my own schedule. This flexibility allows me the opportunity to offer you flexibility and accommodate to various scheduling needs. It can be hard to trust people in your home. I have worked numerous jobs that involve being in people’s homes which involves high level of trust. I have worked for all natural cleaning companies for offices, homes, rentals. I currently work in a field where I do house visits with my clients. I’ve worked as a residential manager for people with disabilities where I managed their finances, property and well-being. I hope my background and experience can give you peace of mind if I must enter your home to pick up your fur baby.

“Mary Jane took very good care of our cat, Gracie. This is our first experience with Rover and we're very happy with it and very happy with Mary Jane. We highly recommend her.”

“If you’re looking for someone who is responsive, reliable, and great with dogs, Mario is your guy! We had to give my little psycho morkie Lucky eye drops because he had pink eye, and he was being very difficult which made it impossible for anyone to get them in. I was fully prepared to take him to the vet twice a day for ten days to have them do it for us, but then I remembered how awesome Mario is with him and figured I’d send him a video of how the vet did it and see if he’d be comfortable helping us. I was very surprised that he said yes because of how scary and aggressive Lucky was in the video, and I couldn’t have imagined how easy and stress free Mario ended up making the process. Mario’s first visit was dramatic to say the least, and I gave him many opportunities to back out, but he insisted on coming back and that Lucky would get used to it. He then went home that night and took a closer look at the video and figured out exactly what to do, then returned the next morning with a plan that worked seamlessly. Lucky’s life has been so much better ever since and it’s all thanks to Mario! Mario really cares about the dogs he works with and will do the research on his own to best care for your dog. You will not regret choosing him!”

“Amruta was awesome! She was very friendly and accommodating. I received lots of updates and pictures which made me feel very comfortable leaving my dog with her. Would recommend!”

About: Aside from growing up with two dogs throughout their puppy and elderly stages of life, I have lots of experience with animals that are not my own. I have a passion for caring for animals of all kinds—to the point where I consider the squirrels that come to my college dorm window my friends! I love helping out the pet owners in my community and often volunteer to watch dogs for free, just because I enjoy it. I have lots of experience with dogs that have special needs (i.e. injuries or medicine), and I take the responsibility of pet care seriously. I approach all animals with the same love and care as if they were my own, and i understand uniquely how worried we can get about our pets when we’re away. Part of my petsitting M.O. is frequent updates (especially photos) to give owners peace of mind. I have a special place in my heart for dogs, but am a lover of all animals and have experience with cats and bunnies as well. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friends! I am a college junior currently at home for summer break. I will be taking two vacations in the next few months, but other than that my schedule allows for extremely open and flexible hours! I approach all pets with gentleness and respect, and i make sure to provide ample time for them to get used to my presence before interactions. I follow instructions thoroughly, so detail there is always appreciated, and I like to be in consistent contact with owners in case there are questions, concerns, or updates. I understand strangers can be nerve wracking for pets and their parents, so I do my very best to earn trust and be patient!

“Sierra was an amazing sitter! My cat, who is normally terrified of people, came out of hiding to hang out with her! I was so frazzled during my trip, but Sierra took care of my animals very well and it helped me relax a little. I would definitely book with her again!”

Grace L.

“I was invited on a trip over Labor Day weekend at the last minute, and I was fortunate enough to find Kevin to do drop in visits with my dog and cat. He followed all of my instructions to a T and provided EXCELLENT customer service. I honestly couldn’t have picked anyone better! He was great with my dog, who is 14 years old and has a few medical issues. I was able to enjoy my trip without being worried, and I came home to my house exactly the way that I left it. I will definitely use him again in the future.”

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up surrounded by pets — dogs, cats, and everything in between — and I truly can’t imagine life without them. I know how hard it can be to leave your pets after leaving my own since I’ve been away at school, which is why I make it my mission to ensure they’re not just safe, but happy, loved, and treated like family while you're away. I am currently going to school at the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park. I am out of class Monday, Wednesday, and Friday by 1pm, on Tuesday and Thursday I’m out by 5pm, and am available most weekends to look after your animals! I provide loving, reliable care for your pets right in the comfort of their own home — where they feel happiest and most secure. I stick to their normal routine as closely as possible, whether that means walk times, meals, play, or just some quiet cuddles. While you’re away, I’ll keep you updated with regular messages and adorable photos, so you can relax knowing your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for. I treat every animal like family and every home with the respect it deserves.

“I went on a 2-week trip and Katarina did a wonderful job taking care of my cat, Tiger. She was responsive, always sent updates and photos, and made sure my cat had food, water, changed litter, grooming and great company. Katarina even went above and beyond and made sure my apartment didn't fall apart while I was away! I'd definitely book Katarina again.”

About: I have 2 pet cats that are my everything, and been pet sitting my first cat since I was 12! For about 7 years, I've pet sat for multiple people including friends and family. The animals include cats, dogs, and birds. I have done drop-in visits as well as overnight shifts and dog walking. I would love to pet sit for your fur babies and give them lots of love and care. My pets are my world, so I would treat your pets the same!!! I am taking graduate classes at Marist University Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday starting at 5pm. I am available to pet sit the weekends, as well as the week days before class and all day Tuesday and Friday:) I will give your fur baby unlimited attention as well as efficient care. I can take them out on walks, feed them as needed, clean during potty breaks, brush them as needed, and give them lots and lots of love!!!

“First time using Rover and Sara exceeded my expectations. Communication was great and we loved all the pictures and updates on our fur baby. Definitely recommend!”
