House Sitting in Rock Tavern

“Robbie was nothing short of heaven sent! When we had to make last minute changes for our dogs’s care Robbie took the time to come over, get acclimated with our two large dogs and learn their routine to keep them comfortable as it was their first time with care from a sitter. When our flight was canceled due to a snow storm, she continued to show up for them and even took them out to play in the snow and sent us pics to keep our minds at ease. She was caring, respectful to our home and really went above and beyond in so many ways. You can tell she’s a real animal lover and we are so grateful she cared for our pups!”

“Jalynn was amazing! She took great care of our dog who has separation anxiety due to us moving across the country and our dog was so comfortable with her while we were out for the day for work. 10/10 would recommend!!”

“Amber did a great job petsitting for our 2 dogs and 2 cats! She took care of all their needs and they were so happy to spend time with her.”

Corinne Z.

“Sahari made us feel so comfortable in leaving our two dogs and home in her care. She was extremely thorough in asking questions about them and their different and specific needs. Our sheepdog is often very wary with new people and he took to Sahari right away. She handled the high energy and special medical needs of our other dog with compassion, kind boundaries and competent care. She went the extra mile in applying eye medications for our dog several times a day, keeping our home clean and gave us updates throughout her stay. We highly recommend her!”

“Wonderful!! Katie is so kind and has the calmest demeanor. As soon as we did a meet and greet I felt so comfortable leaning my dog Sophie in her care. Katie provided photos and in depth updates so I had nothing to worry about! Great communicator and do easy to work with. Would highly recommend and we will definitely be using her again!”

“Jack has been a terrific sitter for our dogs. He shows up exactly when he says he will, which already puts him in rare company, and he stays consistently communicative. We get updates and photos throughout each visit, and it’s clear he genuinely enjoys spending time with our girls. He also takes their “loud greetings” in stride—they give him an earful every time he arrives, and he never flinches. Reliable, responsive, and unfazed by a couple of vocal pups, Jack has been a real find!”

Amy B.

“Jill took great care of our home and of course, our precious pup Mona! This was our first time having a house-sitter and Jill made it an easy, stress-free experience. Thanks so much Jill!”

Vanessa T.

“Kasper is an amazing pet sitter! He was punctual, communicative, and took great care of my home and pets. He was also super caring and sensitive to noticing any little thing that may be off with my dog Goji who can get separation anxiety- even sleeping with him downstairs the first night to ease his nerves. I will def be recommending Kasper to friends and reach out again when I need care!”

Jen L.

“Abbey was an excellent caretaker for our two cats, one of whom needs a challenging daily medication (syringe to the mouth and he's a spicy one). In addition to daily updates, we received a fabulous assortment of photos and videos daily that helped us when we were missing the boys extra over the holidays. Thank you Abbey!”

Anna Rose W.

“Jacquelin was very easy going we had her watch our dog and her cousin the night of our wedding. I know our house wasn’t the most organized but she had no problem, took them on walks and made sure they had a fun time. Thank you!”

About: I have been working with animals since I graduated highschool in 2021. I have grown a grooming business and offer pet sitting for clients as well! I also took classes on obedience and body language. I can handle all temperaments/ breeds/ directions/ ages/ and health concerns! I am currently working part/full time but have my own schedule and can book around what you may need! I am pretty flexible with tuesday and Wednesday being my busier days! I have one dog named Smokey. He is a sweetheart and loves company! I mostly do pet care in your home since I live in an apartment!

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 12 and have experience with pups of all sizes, breeds, and ages — from playful puppies to calm senior dogs. I’m patient, attentive, and comfortable supporting different energy levels and personalities, whether your dog loves long walks, cozy couch time, or routine-based care. My goal is to make your dog feel safe, loved, and well-cared-for while you’re away, with plenty of attention, kindness, and communication. I work remotely for part of the week, which gives me flexibility and plenty of time to care for pets. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and in-home sitting on weekdays and select weekends, and I’m reliable with communication and scheduling. I care for pets in their own home so they can stay comfortable in a familiar environment. I follow feeding and routine instructions closely, respect your space, and keep you updated with photos and messages during each visit or stay. I do not offer boarding at this time.

About: I am in the Middletown- goshen area of Orange County and can’t board any animals at our new home. I prefer a meet and greet before booking and have excellent references. I can walk, spend time with , and play with your dogs and/or cats. I’m experienced with administering medications to both. I have references from my customers in Sullivan county where I used to live if needed . Recently retired I now have a very open schedule for your vacations or weekend needs. I have been an Eagle nest monitor for the NYDEC from 2011 - 2019 on the Delaware River and on Yankee Lake NY 2013- 2022 and have been involved in animal rescue . *That means I have both domestic animal and wildlife experience. I have been a local volunteer and continue to involved in my community. I am newly retired and can come anytime that fits into your schedule . Hopefully I can be the person you call for your vacation or special occasions. Sadly, I no longer have a place to board any animals. But I do have some great references and would provide them upon request. I do have a medium size pup of my own I can bring if you have a friendly dog.

“They did an incredible job watching my babies! Extremely responsive responsible and loved on my dogs like they were their own. I got lots of updates a they were flexible with me when my trip was delayed. Extremely professionally, responsible and all around wonderful. I can’t say enough good things and will be using them again!!”

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, I’ve worked at many barns that included dog care. I love all pets and will make them part of the family. I have two dogs and am home during the day so pet care is a part of my daily routine as is. I work from home so Your pet will be part of the family and have someone around all most all the time I have two very friendly dogs to keep your pet company, a large yard that’s unfenced but allows the dogs to play outside on a leash with each other. I’m also available to walk several times a day.

“Nicole and her boyfriend Chris were great! We waited until pretty last minute for a New Year's trip and luckily she was free to sit our Italian greyhounds, one of which has pretty bad anxiety. We are also pretty adamant about sitters letting our dogs sleep in the bed with them and Nicole was completely on board with it. They took great care of our place while we were gone and even left us a Thank You card and a candle! We will be using Nicole again in the future!”
