Pet Sitting in Poughkeepsie

“Jeanette looked after my 2 cats for 6 days. She was always on time and communicative. I received pictures and comments everyday. My cats were well taken care of. I will definitely use Jeanette again!”

“Seriously, I was so very worried when I heard that my cat had diabetes and we need an injection every day. Especially because I’ve relied on Rover and people to come in and take care of my cats and now I had this added responsibility of an insulin injection twice a day. Sierra, from the very beginning, was so reassuring and calming. It made a tremendous difference. She went above and beyond and brought in my mail and sent extra videos through Rover. And brought a cat toy for them that I found when I came home. So very happy with my choice”

“Our dog was well taken care of. We got daily feedback and photos of our girl and Beck kept in close contact with us. When we got home all was well like we never left. Such a relief. So thankful I found Beck on Rover.”

“So thrilled to have someone so reliable to swing by to let Penelope out a few times while we were gone for an extended sports tournament. Loved the detailed updates and photos. Will definitely use her again!”

“Kaleigh is a true animal lover, she is loving, caring, emphatic, playful, sincere and compassionate. She enjoys being around dogs, cats a lot of types of animals.

“Kristen is an amazingly responsible and caring person and it shows in how kind she is to my dog Eartha. Eartha is getting older and is needier. Kristen understands animals and approaches even my old lady dog with careful and loving attention. Kristen has taken care of Eartha by stopping in to feed and walk her, but also by staying with her when I've had to go away. I trust Kristen's judgment and most importantly I trust her with my dog who is very dear to my heart.”

“Erin was a fantastic pet sitter for our two dogs while we were away on vacation. She took them for long walks, fed them, and took care of any cleanup that needed doing. She is very trustworthy and always kept us in the loop with how things were going. We highly recommend her services!”

“Anastasia did a wonderful job!”

“Lianne is the best dog mom I have ever met. The care she gives to her dogs and any dog she watches is nothing short of incredible!”

“Anastasia is a very caring and responsible person in regards to animals. She was raised with a dog and cats, and continues to care for them in her home. She also has cared for our dog when needed and is wonderful with her. I would recommend her highly.”

About: I recently moved over to Rover from TrustedHouseSitters where my partner and I house/pet sit for others. I recognize I am new to this platform and would really appreciate being given the chance to care for your pet! I’ve lowered rates for walks to hopefully get my first couple of clients. I have housesit for 9 different hosts for a total of 90 nights, caring for both cats and dogs, and we averaged a 5-star review from all of our hosts. We cared for dogs ranging in size and age, making sure they got fed on time, got their daily walks, and most importantly got some attention and affection from us as well. I enjoy running, so if your have a very active dog that would enjoy going on a run with me, I would be happy to take them with me in the morning or evening. When I visit my partner, I also take her families Bernepoodle, Sumo, out for his walk. I'm comfortable walking multiple dogs at the same time; during one house sit I took 3 dogs out for walks, two times daily around a mile each and felt fairly comfortable doing so. I am currently finishing up my teaching residency in the Bronx this school year, so I am mostly restricted to the weekends until I complete my residency in August 2024. I am fairly flexible on the weekends and am accustomed to waking up very early because of my morning commute to the Bronx. With my experience housesitting, I'm used to caring for pets and a host's home! I'm communicative and love sending updates/pictures of how everyone is doing. I prioritize maintaining a clean space, a set feeding and walking schedule, and spending time with the dogs to give them good company. I'm careful when it comes to walks and stick to the sidewalks, quiet roads, and parks. I am male, so if your dog is aggressive around men, please keep my safety in mind as well.

“Leon is a very dependable and responsible person! He cares greatly for his pets and I would rely on him with 100% confidence to watch mine as well!”

About: Welcome to my profile! I’m a dedicated pet parent, who does dog walking as a side job. My dog background: My experience with dogs includes raising three pedigree dogs in my adult life—two pugs and one French bulldog. Additionally, growing up in Delaware provided me with the opportunity to care for numerous breeds and types and offer dog walking services to my neighbors. Personally, I walk my own dogs for 45 to 90 minutes daily and have a special homemade diet for them, consisting of 60% chicken and eggs, and 40% carbs and vegetables, a recipe praised by my vet and one I’m happy to share. Beyond personal pet care, I’m a professional in freelance advertising, my remote work setup gives me the opportunities to explore daytime income streams, particularly during downtimes. At this time, I am focused on folks in specific areas who are interested in daily walks. I will be experimenting with time frames and specifics to find the most repeatable schedule possible. • Beacon: neighborhoods. Early Morning walks • Poughkeepsie: Southside neighborhood- late AM walks. • Kingston: Historic Districts - early afternoon walks. While these are my primary areas and times, I'm open to discussing and accommodating requests outside these specifics when possible. In home, I bring dogs out about once every 2 hours. My yard is entirely fenced with a 12 foot privacy fence. I stay outside with the dogs while outside. I walk dogs a minimum of 2 times per day.

“Emily is a very caring person and translates that to her own pets. Emily has experience with large and small breed dogs as well as dogs with specialized medical needs and medication administration. Her own dogs have always been well cared-for and loved.”

About: I grew up taking care of animals and helping dog sit a few times for relatives. Furthermore, I worked at a dog daycare for about a year and during my time there I learned a lot about a dogs behavior and how to read each individual dogs body language. I’m currently working part time so I can assure you I will have plenty of time to care for you furry friends! I will also be offering boarding Thursday’s-Sunday’s! I start my day off by making sure my babies are fed and have fresh water, followed by going out for a walk and playing outside for a little! I have a dog and a cat who is very shy. If needed I have a crate that can be used.

About: I loved animals every since I was young. I had pets growing up as a child and loved every bit of taken care of an animal. I'm currently working part-time therefore my schedule is flexible. Hours can be discussed and I can work around my current employment. Hours are subject to change. I will make sure the pets are taken care of in a client's home. Making sure animals are fed and if need be walked significantly.
