“Kim is truly one of the best! She was so consistent and reliable giving Dexter a long walk and often took him to new places to explore. She gave him great exercise and also let him play and I know she loved him as much as he loved her. I cannot recommend someone enough!”
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.
“Katherine has been great with my dog Leo. She can get in and out of a very difficult door to open (fiddly lock) and is very self-reliant. I’m sure Leo likes her a lot and I’m happy to have her walk my dog. A+”
“Sebastian was amazing, communicative and thoughtful. Wynnie looked forward to their walks everyday. We felt confident and comfortable leaving Wynnie in their care, knowing that she would be well taken care of! Could not recommend Sebastian highly enough for pet care.”
“We are so grateful for Emily! What a treasure. Our boys LOVE her. She is so reliable, takes amazing care of our boys and just a lovely person. We are so thrilled to have found her and can give her a great reference. Don’t hesitate!”
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: I have experience with all types of cats and dogs and critters. I not only work as a pet sitter, but I worked an Independent Rescuer for years and as a Spay Neuter advocate for the ASPCA in NYC as well. I can administer fluids and medications (provided the cat isn't feral) and I have experience caring for elderly animals and pets with disabilities. I'm guaranteed reliable, flexible, patient, and kind and I would care for your babies as I do my own. Part of being a good pet sitter is sensing what the cat and dog need, whether it means extra pets and playtime, or to given space. i love all animals and their happiness, safety and well-being mean everything to me. I am available and have a flexible schedule. As a part-time freelancer, pet sitting works with my schedule. Weekdays and Weekends are OK. Holidays OK. ***PLEASE NOTE IF YOU ARE LOCATED OUT OF MY RANGE I WILL CHARGE AN ADDITIONAL SMALL FEE ****MY FIRST CLIENT IS 8AM Cats and dogs deserve exercise, playtime, fresh meals, clean water, and affection. I will never allow a cat outside or a dog off his or her leash unless requested. You can rely on me to lock the door and keep your pet and home safe while you are 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.
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.
“Shana is my pup’s favorite person outside of me and her dad! To say that she is her walker is a gross understatement. She is her caregiver, she understands my pup’s needs and the smiles she brings to her face are priceless!”

“I cannot recommend Gaby highly enough. Not only is she SUCH a nice human, she took great care of our BIG pack of dogs, was communicative, sent pictures and was wonderful with them. It was a pleasure getting to know her and she was so good with all our dogs who are rescues and have their quirks. Our older dog is very emotionally needy and vocal and she was great with him. Another of our dogs is very shy and she let her approach at her pace and did not rush her. It was so sweet seeing the pics of the dogs in their spots all ready for bed and gave us peace of mind while we were away from them. We also SO appreciated that she was able to help even though we reached out the day before our trip!”
