“I highly recommended Kimberly as a cat sitter - she is great with our cat and very patient with its owners! Kimberly has been responsive, reliable and flexible; and we’ll certainly be reaching out to her again.”


“Erin is kind and professional, and a great listener and communicator. She was prompt and my dogs absolutely loved her, including my anxious dog who is not quick to trust. Erin made sure to ask questions about their care which I highly appreciated.”


“When I saw Paige was on Rover, I jumped to book her for drop-in visits during our vacation. Knowing her dedication and boundless affection for pets — no matter their quirks or issues! — from her work at the Ulster County SPCA, I knew my husband and I would be able to enjoy our trip without worry for our two elderly cattle dogs who need daily medication. Sure enough, our pups were well-cared for and are now both big fans of her. Thanks again, Paige!”


“Sharon did a great job. Our cats can be a little fussy and have a few different feeding needs, but she handled it no problem! Pictures every day, and happy cats when we got home.”


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’ve been a pet owner for 11 years. I work as a vet assistant. I am trained to read an animals body language and look for signs of distress. I am a very patient, caring, compassionate and empathetic individual. I genuinely enjoy meeting and caring for all types of animals, and I look forward to caring for yours! (: I do work full time, but otherwise I have open availability. I am willing to work around my schedule to help meet your needs (: I feed them, clean up after them, give them medication if needed, bathe them, walk them as often as needed. If your animal is on a schedule of any kind, it will be cared for accordingly.

About: Since 9, I have cared for animals of all ages. I have experience in at home grooming and pet training as well. Rover allows me to connect with not only your pets, but their lovely owners. As a new graduate student, I freed up my schedule to give me plenty of time to assist in pet owners’ needs. Currently, I work part-time, weekends are ideal! I own a senior border collie and young dachshund that are equally socialized to play with other dogs / cats. I grew up with all types of animals. Therefore, I can offer a variety of services.

About: Hi there! I’m Gaby, and I’ve been caring for beloved animal friends, including dogs, cats, (and even ducks!) for private clients over the past six years. Whether it’s a daily walk, an overnight stay, or simply some loving company while you’re away, I treat every animal as if they were my own. I’m reliable, experienced, and passionate about what I do, and I’m now expanding my pet care services through Rover to reach even more furry (and feathered) friends. References from long time clients are happily available upon request. I believe trust is everything when it comes to your pets. Let’s connect! I’d love to meet your companions and be part of their happy, healthy routine. As an artist and student attending Bard College, I structure my days to be present and attentive; qualities that naturally extend to the animal friends I care for. My schedule is flexible in the evenings and on weekends, which means I can accommodate night visits, drop ins, and extended weekend stays with ease. Caring for animals is a grounding and joyful part of my routine. Whether it’s early morning feeds before class, relaxing evening walks, or playful visits on weekends, I prioritize each animals' comfort and happiness as part of my daily flow. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine and trainings as consistent as possible with feeding, walks, playtime, and cuddles all happen on schedule to keep them comfortable and happy. I respect your space, clean up after all visits, and make sure your pet feels calm and safe until you return. When caring for pets in my own home, I create a welcoming, low stress environment with plenty of attention, enrichment, and comfort. Whether in your home or mine, my aim is to communicate clearly with updates and photos so you know your pet is in good hands.

About: Growing up, my family rescued dogs that required attentive and specialized care to make them feel safe and loved. Caring for these dogs, which include a beagle and several pitbull mixes, have given me the experience of caring for high energy, large dogs from when they were puppies. These dogs needed someone to help them work through their triggers to live the happy life they deserved :) I also have experience babysitting and walking small - large dogs of various ages and demeanors including bulldogs, chihuahuas, pointers, pomeranians, korean jindo dog, and australian cattle dogs. Outside of my dog care, I have also cared for pet African geese, horses, and cats! My wide-ranged animal care experience helps me adapt to the needs of the animal I’m caring for. My dogs growing up were always family to me, so I will make sure to care for your pets like they are my own <3 I currently work in Catskill on Mondays and Thursdays and am available before or after my shifts to walk or feed your pet. The other days of the week, I am either working from home or off, so I have more flexibility then to walk, feed, or hangout with your babies :) If you have a request for days that are outside of my marked availability please reach out! I am available for overnight care in your home. As someone who values a clean house, I promise to respect your space and clean after myself (hopefully so much you can’t even tell I was there ;) )

About: What sets me apart is my calm, attentive approach and genuine love for animals. I’m experienced with both high-energy dogs and seniors needing gentle, consistent care. I adapt easily to each dog’s routine and personality, making them feel safe and loved. I like to provide updates, so you never have to worry while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with my own two dogs. I plan to provide what I do to your companions. This includes walks, playtime, feeding, grooming, and attention, making every pet feel prioritized. I work part time so I make sure to stay organized and flexible so I can provide reliable, consistent care. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow any rules or routines if asked to ensure pets feel comfortable and safe. I double check doors, monitor behavior, and keep a clean, safe environment. I will never leave pets unsupervised in unsafe conditions and will communicate clearly with owners, so they know their pet is cared for like my own.

“Colleen was wonderful at my home with my dog and cat, even taking care of the outside wild bird feeders, hummingbird feeders, feeding the koi fish and watering plants. I was completely satisfied and strongly recommend Colleen.”


About: Volunteer with Guiding Eyes for socialization of 2month old puppies in my home in the past. Have 30 yrs + experience with my own rescue dogs. Now down to 1 senior dog who cannot walk long distances. Looking for new walking buddies! Retired and looking for new opportunities mostly during the week. Have volunteer work also, so prefer morning walks at this time; can come to you or you can drop off. I believe dogs thrive on exercise and daily walks; also great time to continue training and encourage obedience. Most dogs love to work out and be with their humans outside.

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: Since i was young i always treated pets like humans, its my passion to share my love with pets, Caring for them is my passion. i currently work 3 nights a week, i am very active with much free time that i spend with my own dog. I am Open. I have a fenced in area if needed. i also have a car where i can travel to parks and trails to walk the dogs.

About: Growing up we always had animals in the home. Dogs and cats mostly! Over the past 7 years I’ve had the privilege of taking care of my friends fur babies (although I often feel as if they’re taking care of me). This included walking, grooming, feeding, and of course play time! I have experience in administering medicine to both dogs and cats. My last furry friend was a gorgeous black cat I rescued off the streets. Unfortunately, not long after we brought him home, he ended up being diagnosed with FeLV. It was a long and often tiring road but I would do it all over again for that special guy! While I’m extremely heartbroken we lost him, I am so grateful I got to experience, at least once in my life, such a special bond. This taught me a lot about caring for animals with serious health issues and deepened my appreciation for them on a new level. My schedule often fluctuates, as I’ve started a new job but I am open to all sorts of Dogs/Cats! I am energetic and love the outdoors so walks and play time come easy to me. Animals have always been an important part of my life. I feel they play an important role as a family member and therefore deserve to be treated like one! Please reach out if you have any questions! I look forward to meeting you and your beloved four-legged friend! - Ava Pet care is a daily necessity when you have the privilege of having a pet. These days I don’t but I hope that I have the privilege of taking care of yours! I think great care starts before I come to your home! I like to spend a little time getting to know if you have any primary concerns for your furry friend. If possible I like to keep a record of emergency contacts, vet info, feeding instruction (if any specific), medications, and alarm codes or instructions to enter the home. Before I leave I also like to triple check that all gates , doors, and fences are properly closed and locked.

About: I have taken care of dogs, cats, horses, rabbits, guinea pigs, reptiles and fish for over 25 years. I love all animals, so much I am currently in school to be a vet tech. I am currently working an extremely flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to care for your pet!! I have many times of the day available. I am offering in house per sitting for all your pets needs as well as dog walking! Please give me a call to further discuss how I can take care of your pet!!

“Haley is a caring, attentive person, and an absolute wizard with dogs! She befriended my rescue, who is not a fan of people at all. She’s watched my dogs in the past, and they’ve left nothing but rave reviews for their new friend.”


Gabrielle A.
“Gabrielle is truly a gem, the best dog sitter we’ve ever had the pleasure of working with. She has been caring for our pets since 2019, and from the very beginning, we knew we could trust her completely. She keeps a key to our home and has stayed with our pets during long trips, as well as stopping in for daily visits when our schedules don't allow. Over the years, she formed a deep bond with our two beloved senior dogs, caring for them with such tenderness and dedication as they aged, and eventually through their final chapter. Her compassion during that time meant the world to us. Now, with our new (and very opinionated!) Olde English Bulldog, Gaby continues to show the same level of attentiveness, patience, and love. She’s even been involved in the training process, always consistent and encouraging. We trust Gabrielle completely, not just as a pet sitter, but as someone who treats our animals like family. She’s dependable, kind, and has a natural way with animals that puts both pets and humans at ease. We honestly don’t know what we’d do without her.”
