About: I've been taking care of dogs since I was five years old and continued to get more dogs. I have dog sat for multiple friends and family rating from dogs and cats. As far as training animals, I did grow up with having to train them so I do have some experience. I am currently working part time and go to community college but will be able to manage and work out a schedule that will be accommodating. I have 3 dogs that have invisible fences outside so they can roam free without getting lost, going to the road, running off. I have a big yard surrounding my house so they are used to running around freely. When it gets too cold they come in to the house or garage with my father. I am used to walking dogs as they do get walked on occasion at home or if we have them out of the house. I do not off offer services that welcome pets into my house but I am accommodating as necessary and will offer services at your residency.
“Elishamaria was wonderful. She was very friendly, communicative and professional. She made our dog Butters feel very comfortable and happy. We were able to enjoy a little time to ourselves in Hudson. We would definitely book her again the next time we’re in town!”

About: I worked as a veterinary reception and received knowledge from our vets on dog/ cat behavior training and administering injections. I have kennel experience and training with special needs in dogs and cats. I’m open and flexible with my schedule whether it’s morning or night. Ready to take care of your magnificent pup or kitty in a safe environment. My cozy apartment is a safe and welcoming space for your pet to relax and play. I also have a super-friendly dog who absolutely loves meeting new friends. For pups or cats that like some quiet time, I'm happy to provide a cozy crate or room area where they can feel secure.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs ever since I could remember. I love them so much. Everyone calls me the dog whisperer whenever they need a helping hand with their fur babies. I do charge an additional fee for gas, due to gas prices being so high and the high intake I receive from my guests. I currently work part time but I’m available usually after 9am throughout the week. I do work weekends usually but I can be flexible with stopping in the morning and evenings times for your fur babies. I am temporarily in a transition moving right now, for the Army National Guard. I am living at Home until I receive my new orders. So I will come to you for any of your visits you need for your fur babies!
About: Hi, I’m Ray! I’m based near Hudson and a proud lifelong animal lover. I grew up right here in the area—actually, I spent my early years on a farm surrounded by all kinds of animals. Our home was always full of dogs and cats, so caring for animals comes naturally to me. These days, it’s just me and my pup Biscuit, but my love for animals hasn’t changed a bit. I treat every animal in my care with the same patience, attention, and affection I give my own. I’m flexible with scheduling and happy to work with you to meet your animals needs. If you have any questions or want to know more, feel free to send me a message—I’ll get back to you as soon as I can. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry friend! I work over at a cafe part time in Hudson! My schedule is flexible:) I couldn’t be present at all times of the day though. I have an apartment with a yard. Your animal could stay over or I can house sit if that’s easier. I have many references off this app
About: In addition to dogs and cats, I love and have cared for many animals my entire life. I grew up caring for the family cat, dog sitting for friends and family, and working for the Prospect Park Zoo in NYC. As an adult I've volunteered for multiple animal shelters, and now care for my own baby Tortoise. As someone with a pet myself, I know how important it is that your sitter adores and respects your animals' needs. I prioritize your animal's health, safety, and happiness! I am a graduate student, giving me a pretty flexible schedule! I am typically completely free Thursday through Sunday. Drop off visits are possible Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, especially in the mornings or later at night. Making sure pets get the attention they need is a top priority for me. Being a student, writer, and researcher, I work mostly at home. This allows me to spend additional time hanging out with those pets that enjoy some human company. I also love hiking, walking, and spending time outdoors. So if your pup needs to get some energy out in the woods, I'll be more than happy to be their guide! I can house small pets for a night or two - I live in a ~700 square foot apartment with a balcony and ample access to the outdoors. But someone cannot always be home, so cats and independent small dogs are preferred.
“We cannot say enough positive things about Roman! He is incredibly kind and responsive- We needed help with our senior yellow lab and had some unique needs for our pup and family while we were in the hospital with a newborn - Roman went above and beyond with kindness and flexibility to help our family in a crazy time, and was a true life saver! His love of animals is clear - we would recommend him to anyone and will absolutely ask for his help next time we need it.”

About: I've been an animal lover for as long as I can remember, and gained a lot of experience caring for my own family pets, then started pet sitting and working with horses as a teenager. After spending most of young adult life working with horses, I went back to college to get a degree that would allow me to become a Licensed Veterinary Technician. I worked in companion animal (dogs and cats) practice for a number of years before taking a "real" job that allowed me more time for my own pets. I've found I love my new job and schedule, but miss having as much animal interaction. I'd be delighted to provide care for your dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs (and other pocket pets) as well as horses and other large animals.
About: I have a lifelong love of all critters great and small! I've cared for dogs since I was knee high, even starting my own dog sitting service when I was a kid. I've had puppies, dogs, and seniors under my care. I approach all dogs as unique individuals with their own needs, wants, and boundaries. I'm looking for work and to get out of the house. My availability is wide open, I'm ready to work around your schedule or particulars. I'm a responsible and college educated person, and understand your pet is part of your family. I treat every home and pet as if they were my own.

About: I’ve owned dogs ever since I was 8, and I’ve always loved and cared for them with no question. I love to feed, walk, bathe, and just hangout with dogs. Can’t wait to meet all of your pups!!! I’m currently a full time online college student that sets her own schedule! I am pretty open and free all day to hangout with pups! I have a large fenced yard and I always bring running shoes because I know some dogs love to play! And some even love to try and make escapes, which is why I’ll always have treats and commands ready!
“Lianna was wonderful! I knew my fur baby was being well taken care of. She knew I was anxious leaving my baby so she sent me multiple pictures of every outing so I could see how Tessie was? She was prompt, fed Tessie and made sure she took her medicine everyday for her chronic condition. I highly recommend Lianna if you are in need of pet sitter/walker. I have already booked her again for my next out of town trip when I cannot take my baby.”

About: Hello, my name is Kaylee. I am new to rover but not new to pet sitting. I have been cat sitting for a family for 7 years and dog sitting/ house sitting for people for about 5 years. I have met some great people and pets along the way. I work until 4:30 most days and I am free on most weekends. I am available to check in on animals on weekends and weekdays after 4:30! I prefer to care for pets in the client's home but I would be open to caring for small pets in my home if needed.

With a BA in Zoology and over 3 years of professional care with dogs I can't wait to meet your family! My day job at doggy camp keeps me pretty busy but I can't wait to hang with your fur baby on my days off! Your animals boundaries are my top priority.
