Dog Sitting in Rock Tavern

“Samantha took great care of my dog on short notice and took some awesome photos!”

“Lacey was awesome with my two cats. They can be slow to warm up to people, but they loved her immediately! She sent me lots of pictures while I was away and made sure that I knew that my cats were well taken care of and loved.”

About: I love dogs and would love to host your furry friend during your getaway. It's no trouble to give medication as needed (I can give pills without treats and I can give meds by dropper) and your pup would get at least 1/2 hour walking per day if they are up to it, on trails if you're ok with that. Please let me know beforehand if there are any exercise restrictions. I'll be happy to send pictures of your pup during their stay. I will house sit medium sized dogs and smaller. For boarding, my apartment is small and is better for dogs on the smaller side. I would board a dog 40lb or smaller, who is current on their shots and not sick at the time. Please feel free to ask if you have any special requirements for your dog that I haven't mentioned. I have plenty of time to play with pups and I can walk dogs during the day. If they stay with me, they will hang out while I work from home, and go on at least 2 walks for 20-30 minutes. I do daily pupdates, sending pictures so you can see what your furry baby is up to. If I house sit for you, I can watch a 2 medium/small sized dogs and/or cats. I will be mindful in your home and be a good guest. I can give pills or dropper medication to dogs if needed. If you board with me, pets are welcome on the furniture (because snuggles matter!). I live in a small apartment, best suited for chill or medium-energy pups—not zoomies. I am keeping the happiness and well-being of your pet in mind - we will play and walk 2-3 times per day.

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and temperaments, belonging to family, friends, neighbors, or brand-new clients. My care is full of love, snuggles, and focused attention. I’m detail-oriented and follow owner instructions carefully, ensuring your dog stays safe, healthy, and happy. I have experience with everything from energetic puppies to gentle senior dogs, and I’m comfortable administering medications or handling special diets. For me, spending time with animals is more than a job—it’s a joy and a privilege I look forward to whenever I have the opportunity. I look forward to meeting your pet! I'm currently between jobs and seeking opportunities that align with my interests. My calendar is very flexible and I'm able to accommodate various schedules, so let me know what you need! I care for pets by giving them loving attention and following owner instructions carefully. I make sure I understand all that is needed at the beginning of a job, and if questions arise, I never hesitate to contact the pet owner. I enjoy playing with pets and taking dogs out for walks, or even hikes if they and the owner are open to that. I'm basically ready to be their new favorite playmate :)

“Kristina took good care of my dog, she was always on schedule and kept me updated with my dog progress. My dog enjoyed seeing her every time for the daily check-in”

About: Hi! My name is Sarahi, and I'm a gal who has always had a passion for loving and working with animals. I have 9 years of pet sitting experience, as I've been pet sitting since I was fourteen years old, and haven't stopped since. I love animals of any size or personality or quirk - they're all worthy of love and attention in my eyes! However, those who know me know that I have a soft spot for dogs :) Neighbors, friends and family members have all trusted me to feed, walk and care for their precious fur-babies. I have experience caring for doggos of all ages- from puppies to seniors. Depending on location, duration, and/or what you prefer, I can plan to stay with them overnight or just drop in to spend time during the day as needed. I'm all about doing what is most comfortable for your fur-baby! Gentle compassion and enthusiastic care are standards I always uphold. I value clear communication and honesty with pet parents. My attention to detail helps me ensure that every pet I care for gets the individualized attention they deserve. My goal is to make sure they feel loved and safe in their own homes while you are away. I love to take them on walks, help groom and bathe them, make sure they are fed, help with medication if necessary and of course - play and give them lots of love. I can also just lay around with them if that’s more their speed. Whatever their needs, I’m here to help while you’re away! :) I can offer plenty of time to dedicate to your pet. I currently work from home three days a week and have a very flexible schedule, making it super easy to bring my work to the home I sit for and attend to your pet's needs. I spend my days off participating in volunteer work mostly in the mornings, but I always ensure to be back in time to take care of them. I am unable to board at my house but am more than willing to drop in or stay at yours :)- whatever makes you and your pet feel most comfortable! In both cases, I make sure to follow pet parents’ instructions very carefully. I will ensure that all areas that we are playing or walking in are either fenced in or they are always leashed. When I’m away, they can be crated if needed and I will ensure they are let out before I leave. Pets in my care are always supervised. I make sure to regularly check on them when things seem too quiet, and am attentive to food, water, and potty needs. I provide a comfortable and familiar environment for your pet, sticking to their regular routines. I also give lots of attention and love to keep them feeling safe and happy. After years of house sitting, I am also used to existing respectfully in someone else’s space. I am tidy and always try to make your home as clean as it was when you left before I leave. I am a quiet neighbor and will ensure that all doors are locked/security systems are set when needed. I make sure to stay in constant communication with you, sending updates and photos so you can feel at ease knowing your pet is in great hands!

About: From overnight stays and walks to playtime and cuddles, family and friends have entrusted me with the care of their fur baby. Being able to work with cats and dogs on a daily basis as a veterinary assistant continues to help me accumulate various skills to work with animals of all temperaments and ages! I’m currently working part time so I’d have flexible time to spend with your precious pups whether during the week or during the weekend ! Pups are off if their routine is off so if you have a specific schedule or way of doing things I can assure you I will stick to the game plan.

“Annemarie is amazing! Our French bulldog is a rescue and very timid. She gets nervous very easily. Anne Marie was extremely patient and loving to our girl.”

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all kinds- cats, dogs, guinea pigs, hamsters, fish, birds... As an owner of 5 dogs and 2 cats, I understand the unique needs, personalities, and quirks that make each pet special. From pretty fish to big fluffy dogs, I provide the same love and attention to your pets as I do my own :) Pet care fits seamlessly into my schedule. I work as a special education teacher’s aide from 8–3 on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and I’m unavailable Mondays and Thursdays while attending classes at SUNY New Paltz. However, I’m available after work and completely free on weekends, making it easy for me to provide reliable, loving care for your pets when you need it most. Whether caring for pets in my own home or yours, I make their comfort and safety my top priority. In my home, pets enjoy a cozy, welcoming environment with plenty of playtime, cuddles, and attention. When caring for pets in their own home, I follow your routines closely to keep them happy and stress-free, from feeding and walks to playtime and companionship. No matter the setting, I treat every pet like family.

“Maria is the best! She and Dylan instantly bonded. She took great care of him on the drop-in visit, and we're looking forward to more visits next week. I can relax knowing my little buddy is well cared for.”

During the week, I’m available after work for evening care, and I’m fully available from Friday evening through Sunday night.

Let me care for your dogs with the love that they deserve. I currently work a Monday through Friday full time job, so I am looking to book drop-in visits only on Saturdays mornings.

About: I have lived with dogs for about 7 years now and know all the work that goes into their care. I currently have two wonderful dogs, I've volunteered at my local humane society, and study zoology in college. I am very active and love to go on long walks and even runs with any dogs who needs it I work as a lifeguard for 4 days out of the week but have Sunday through Tuesday completely free! And want to spend that time doing something I love like looking out for other animals As a dog owner I'm very good about understanding how every pet is different. I understand food aggression in some dogs and realize many need a watchful eye in general. My goal is to keep the pet safe in my care and fulfill their needs whatever they may be
