About: Rhinebeck local with a 30 minute lunch break. Available for overnight in-home and/or dog walking services. Experience with giving oral medication. Big dogs and puppies welcome! Kitties and small animals, too! Minimal experience with reptiles (only leopard geckos) but I can watch them with care instructions. Generally I work early morning to early afternoon. No earlier than 5:30 and no later than 6:00 p.m. Weekends included. My days off are usually Tuesday or Wednesday or Thursday. There are some exceptions as my schedule varies week to week. But I can and frequently do work around customers' schedules, especially with advanced notice! I am diligent in keeping an eye on animals in the home. Especially puppies/potty training animals. When we are out taking a walk (for dogs) I will cross to the other side of the street and not greet other dogs, even if yours is friendly. Better to be safe than sorry! Same goes for dog parks. We can go, but I will keep a close eye on any animals and leave if things get too hot.

“Our dog Whiskey has already become fond of Christina and their walks together. Christina is a great communicator and reliable dog walker. I look forward to booking Christina more and maybe future overnights too. She is a wonderful, friendly and clearly great with pets and highly recommend.”

“Katherine far exceeded any expectations I had for my dog’s care. Katherine always changed the water and put out a lunch I would leave for my dog as well as a biscuit when she left…Katherine gave nice long walks and was always on time and usually gave more than the normal 30 minutes! Sadie loved her…I’ll be using Katherine again!”

“I had to go out of town last minute and Sebastian was very accommodating. They took wonderful care of my dog while I was away and sent me detailed updates at all of the scheduled times. I felt completely at ease and didn’t worry about my dog because I knew she was in great hands.”

About: Hello! My name is Kerin and I’m 30. My love for these 4, sometimes 3, legged k-9’s we call family! My love for them runs through my family’s blood as we have a dog rescue, Pooches Out Of Puerto Rico. As you can imagine I’ve worked with all sorts of dogs. Some totally goofy to some begin extremely aggressive due to fear or pain. You name it I’ve experienced it. There’s nothing I won’t do for these hairy family members. DM me so we can chat about scheduling you a vacation whether it’s a long, extravagant trip or a short sweet little trip. I’m your girl and can’t wait to hear from you! It doesn’t matter if you have a fence or not. I can take your dog/s out for walks or go to play parks. You tell me what they and it consider it already done! Of course expect some pictures while your away!

About: Hi! My name is Allie, I'm currently in a Master’s Program for speech language pathology through SUNY New Paltz. I am a full-time student looking for a part- time, flexible job. I have been dog sitting/walking since I was 14 years old for dogs of all different types of breeds, sizes and behaviors! My neighbors, family members, and friends have used my services to provide care of their fur babies while on vacation, a long weekend trip, or even during work hours! I have experience with small and big dogs and have cared for multiple pups at once. I worked for a company called “Long Island Pet Nanny” this past summer and have gained great experience taking care of all different types of pets with various personalities. I feel confident that I can provide great service for you and your pet and hope it can make your day a bit easier! 🐕🐈 I will be within the Kingston and New Paltz areas throughout the summer and am looking for a part time job to help pay for my expenses while I’m in my internship. I will always try my best to work with your schedule with my availability! :) In your home, I will follow your instructions very carefully. I pay close attention to detail such as to where the dog or cat is allowed, how long the pet needs to be walked/played with, what they are fed, and if they require medications. I hope to gain your pets trust and love while creating a bond with them and ensuring they’re happy and healthy.

“Our dogz light up when Rosalie takes care of them!!!”

About: I’ve grown up with pets my whole life. I’ve helped walk, play, bathe and feed relatives/friends pets as well. I’ve also have done hands on interactive training with my dogs. I’m a recent college graduate looking for activities that I can make money and enjoy doing! I work nights at a restaurant so I am free during daytime. 🌞 I am very calm and know how to read pets. I’m willing to read the situation and take your word on how to best care for your pet family.

About: I have been around animals all my life. Born in the country, cows and horses are most common, but I’ve come to love having dogs, cats, and reptiles of my own! There has never been an animal I couldn’t warm up to, and I love getting to know every pets unique personality. I DO OWN PETS, I just am not offering boarding services or requesting sitting services so I would prefer not to share their details! I am always willing to move around my schedule to better fit my clients needs! I have a ride ai depend on for now while I’m learning to drive so I cannot be out too late unless I’m staying the night. I prefer to pet sit or walk pets at other homes, not my own, as I have a reactive dog with history of abuse, and she is not amicable with other pets.

“Emily is kind, punctual, and reliable! Highly recommend for all your pets needs. We will definitely continue to seek her pet services.”

“I found Sierra to be a good communicator and very helpful with Teddy.”

“Kayla was great! She is upbeat, personable, and communicates really well. Our pets loved their visits with Kayla -- we highly recommend her and would use her again!”

About: I genuinely love all animals! If I could have 10 dogs, I would. Over the last 15 years I’ve cared for family and friends pets whenever needed, welcoming them into my home or visiting theirs. I love small dogs, big dogs, high energy dogs or low. I can adapt to almost any pets needs, frequent walks, extra snuggles, administer medicines, providing treats, and extra attention. I can’t wait to snuggle and spoil your fur baby. I lost my greater swiss mountain dog in July of 2024, and quickly realized life without a dog wasn’t for me. I adopted a new pup in October. We are excited to welcome your pup into the mix! I’m a teacher with all summer off, so I have unlimited flexibility during the summer months (July and August). During the school year, I work 7am-3pm on weekdays. My yard is unfenced, but your pup will be offered frequent walks and potty breaks. My dog and I spend hours of time outside every day. We walk the trails in our neighborhood and often go to local parks to explore different places. I typically follow your every directive because all dogs needs are different. If you tell me your dog doesn’t enjoy the heat of the summer, we will be couch potatoes in the air conditioning. You know your pup best, so please reach out with any important information I should know! I’m happy to accommodate.

About: I have been growing up around and taking care of pets all of my life. I have taken care of puppies, middle-aged dogs, senior dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, and pigs. I can give them medication and bring them into appointments. I love to with dogs! I have a backyard and other dogs for them to play with. In case an emergency, I live 15 to 20 minutes away from two different animal hospitals. Since I only work part-time job during the day, I love sitting outside in the sun, playing with the dogs and watching them run around and play with each other. I love meeting, new pets and getting to know them. I also love sitting inside and watching TV while I pet your pet. At my house we let the dogs out every 2 to 4 hours to go to the bathroom. They are mostly outside anyways. They go on a walk every day. I feed my pets twice a day. They get lots of love and cuddles. For my clients pets, I play with them All day and I do whatever they would specifically like me to do with their pet.

About: From the moment I was born I was around animals, wild and domestic. My first dog was a 110+ pound Chow/Shepherd mix, she was very protective and territorial and took it upon herself to protect me and my sibling from any bullies on our street, from then on I've had a deer head rescue chihuahua named Prue she was my best friend, followed me everywhere, two 110+ pound Native American Shepherds, three cats one old named Milo, a very hyper and playful kitty name Cleo, a sweet loving sensitive tuxedo cat named Marley, a Terra fish named Ruby, a beautiful tropical bird named AU, two Guinea pigs named Opie and Didley, three turtles, one red eared slider named Jack, two painted turtles a big one named Perry and a smaller one I found named Damien, a black rescue lab named Jack Jack with a injured ear and no tail, a grey cat named Tom Tom who followed my fiance home from a fire station, a little apple head chihuahua corgi mix named Willow who was found in the streets of New Orleans after a flood, I've been around disabled animals my whole life, a cat who's tail was injured and had to be removed, a roudy white poodle mix who was born with half a paw, I've gone to interactive zoos and played with the animals, every animal I meet instantly loves me as I approach them with a warm welcoming energy and show them that we are on the same level, yet I'm dominant in training scenarios. Across my street lives 3 dogs and a cat named jerry, sweet pups Pablo, Matilda and Bailey, Bailey is an old paranoid shitzu with a therapy jacket that makes her more docile, if you're not in the sun rubbing her belly she can't see clearly and assumes you're a threat, so I approach her with loving speech and body language, Matilda is a very emotional rescue who is older and very docile and sad until she met Pablo a 1 year old puppy crossbreed, he keeps her young and spry, he has beautiful white teeth and hair, I am very interested in the upkeep of your animal's physical, emotional, environmental and mental wellbeing. I will pamper your loved ones to the highest degree while also showing them how to act in a strangers house without being scared, homesick, nervous or rowdy. :) I've been around all types of animals caged, untrained, unspayed in heat animals who need extra care and attention, I am exploring animal behaviors, training and pet sitting animals of all walks of life, I am also attempting to train the neighborhood Squirrells and chipmunks to eat food out of my hands and avoid the road, I know bird calls and how to attract owls, hawks, butterflies and most social animals. When I was young I hand fed a wild doe and Bambi as we called him, a calm baby deer. My father lives in the Catskill mountains and since birth I've played with, caterpillars, ants, daddy long legs, peepers, frogs, toads, tadpoles, and threw back all the fish my dad caught. I have a photo of my younger self in preschool approaching a praying mantis that had got into the classroom, all the kids were screaming and I'm seen holding and playing with him until I brought him back outside. All the bugs I find in my house I trap and release back into the wild including ants, spiders, stink bugs, bees, lady bugs, inch worms and more. I feel that all living things deserve respect and empathy. I am very interested in the upkeep of your animal's physical, emotional, environmental and mental wellbeing. I will pamper your loved ones to the highest degree while also showing them how to act appropriately in a sitter's house without becoming territorial, aggressive, homesick, nervous or rowdy. I love all animals and understand that just because they can't communicate verbally, doesn't mean they can't communicate. I have a home with energy balancing Buddhist symbols (laughing Buddha, energy cleansing aromas and a clean peaceful home for your animal's stay. I will interact with them the entire time and make sure all their needs and wants are met. I love caring for living things whether it be a baby or an ant, a wolf or a worm 🤣 I will take care of them to the fullest of my capabilities and make them comfortable. I can even help train them to not get separation anxiety when you leave home and become independent individuals who can care for themselves. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your pet's journey to happiness and healthiness. Love to all ❤️✨️

“Dena walks my dog every week. They are reliable, punctual and I was able to tell that they're extremely kind during our meet and greet. Dena took the time during the meet and greet to rehearse putting on my dog's unique harness and to walk my dog to learn our regular walking route. I've never had a pet sitter do that in the m+g! My dog responds so well to their guidance on the leash. Dena makes sure my dog stays active, safe and hydrated. I know she's in great hands when I'm out - you can definitely trust and count on Dena!!”
