“Joe was fantastic! He came over to the house before we left to meet my kitty and discuss her care, which was really nice. Joe was very concerned about her well-being while we were gone and kept us posted with pictures and texts. I would be extremely comfortable leaving Juniper with Joe again.”
“Victoria was incredibly reliable, caring, and clearly experienced with dogs. Our dog was always excited to see her, and we felt completely comfortable knowing he was in such good hands.”
“Per my prior reviews, Robin is always punctual, communicative & an overall joy to have in my home. My pit bull & my cat both love her to pieces & it’s such a relief to have someone I can trust !”
“We were very pleased with Rose's care for Nina. She was diligent in providing information and pics on Nina. We will definitely use her services again and will recommend to others. Thank you.”
“Outstanding! This was the first time I booked with Vicki and I could not be more pleased..from the initial communication and get together, to the consistently on-time visits, many cute photos and lots of detail (and reassurance!), I felt that Vicki had everything under control. It was also a plus that Vicki is obviously a big cat lover and understands their nature. I would (and will) be booking with her again and and easily recommend her 100%.”
“Jamie is very detail oriented and listens to instructions very well. You can tell they love animals so much and they took such great care of our pets. They also checked in with us often and communicated well. We would definitely recommend Jamie and would 10/10 book again :-)”
“They take good care of my cat and always keep me updated. They are very reliable and I particularly appreciate how clean and tidy they leave the house. Thanks for washing out the empty cat tins so thoroughly!!”
“Alina was amazing with my cat Izzy. Izzy doesn't come out for everyone but came out for Alina each time. Alina's reports were sothorough and made me feel like my cat was being so well cared for.”
“Barbara was incredibly communicative and accommodating, even with our last-minute request for sitting for our two cats. She took wonderful care of our cats and even shoveled after it snowed! She also picked up litter from the store for us because we were running low. She really went the extra mile and we’ll be requesting her again!”
“Victoria took such great care of my dogs!! I requested her last minute and she was reliable and professional. She followed all my care instructions and made me feel comfortable leaving my girls in her care. 10/10 would book again!”
“Emily was absolutely wonderful! My 11 year old cat was snuggling with her when she visited. Emily took great care of my baby and sent me photos and videos of her when I was traveling. I highly recommend Emily and will definitely reach out to her next time we go away!”
“Such a late request to have my pup be watched, but Monica was ready and willing!! He was well taken care of and the photos prove it. Happy he was able to get some frisbee time :)”
“Savannah was so amazing with our cat Tami She is truly a special cat lover and caretaker We came home to a calm and happy kitty! We enthusiastically recommend her!!!”
About: My care for animals is rooted in my nature. I have spent 28 years loving and caring for dogs, cats, and livestock like sheep and goats. I currently volunteer at the Ulster County SPCA weekly doing dog and cat socialization. I bring genuine passion, care, and patience to each pet that is in my care. I am available for pet visits and walks from 6am to 11am and 8:30pm to 10:30pm during the week. My availability on the weekends is much more flexible. Let’s chat and come up with a plan. With over two decades of animal experience, I know that trust is earned, not assumed. I take time to read each pet’s cues, honor their boundaries, and follow your established routines. Your home environment stays calm and consistent, your dog’s walk stays safe and controlled, and your cat always has the space they need to feel secure.
Ruby cat parents share their Rover experiences
Victoria went above and beyond to take care of our kitty—over the holiday season and regardless of a blizzard that made travel difficult, she showed up! The updates and photos were so appreciated and thank you for bringing in our packages and deliveries too. Highly recommend and will book with her again!
