“David is very reliable and takes great care of Nala on her walks. I would highly recommend David for anyone looking to get or keep their dog fit!”
“Monica was great to work with - easy to communicate with. Tiny was a happy pup after her walks. Would 100% work with her again. (Thanks, Monica!)”
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.
“Robin was exactly on time for her first walk with our 6-month old Izzy. Izzy loves every dog or person she meets. so I wasn't surprised when she greeted Robin affectionately. After a few minutes of instruction, they were off for their first walk together. When they returned, Robin described their adventure in detail. She was articulate and accurate, given Izzy's typical behavior (for example: she doesn't "get" that a dog growling at her means "keep away." }. Big news: Izzy must have felt very comfortable with Robin, since this was the very first time that she peed on-leash during a dog walk away from our yard. I felt extremely comfortable with Robin also and would recommend her highly. I will use her again, for sure!”
“Our dog Whiskey has already become fond of Christina and their walks together. Christina is a great communicator and reliable dog walker. I look forward to booking Christina more and maybe future overnights too. She is a wonderful, friendly and clearly great with pets and highly recommend.”
“Katherine far exceeded any expectations I had for my dog’s care. Katherine always changed the water and put out a lunch I would leave for my dog as well as a biscuit when she left…Katherine gave nice long walks and was always on time and usually gave more than the normal 30 minutes! Sadie loved her…I’ll be using Katherine again!”
“Very reliable and received great communication about my dog. In the pictures, my dog looked happy and relaxed. Would highly recommend! I already booked again.”
“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!”
“Melissa is an amazing dog sitter/walker, with a touch of whimsy and a deep compassion for animals. She was a real human companion to Toby, who took to her almost immediately. Long walks, great photos of our canine friend. We were very relieved that Toby was in her good hands. Five stars isn’t enough!”
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: I’ve had dogs as pets my entire life. I’ve dog-sat for family and friends. I trained my current dog as a puppy, and have given many dirty pups baths! I have pretty open availability throughout the week. I live in a nice neighborhood where I can easily walk dogs, and also live not too far from the dog park! I take care of my dog, feeding, walking, bathing etc. I have a small fenced in area in my backyard perfect for small to medium sized dogs and I do have a small crate if necessary.
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 taken care of all types of animals. I worked for a veterinary clinic for about 2 years and have housesit/petsit for friends and family since I was able to drive. I have experience giving medicine and would have no problem doing that for you. I work as a server 4 days a week. Either at 10:30 am to 5 pm or 5 pm to midnight. For extended stays I wouldn’t be gone for more than 8 hours. I live in a no pets apartment at the moment so would need to come to you. I’m a lounger but take a long walk every day. Your pet would get some exercise and plenty of cuddles the rest of the day.
“Our dogz light up when Rosalie takes care of them!!!”
“Venetia showed up on time (a little early even to get the lowdown on my dog!) and helped burn some puppy energy! She took my 1 year old dog on a nice nature walk with beautiful pics :-) She was very patient with some naughty behaviors we're working on (jumping!) and her calm demeanor put my boy at ease to go off with a stranger. She responded promptly to my requests and was VERY thorough with getting all of Reshi's information. Will be using her services again soon and would def recommend Venetia for your pets needs :-)”
About: I have owned 2 dogs of my own, one cane corso and also a rot weiler. I believe dogs are just like kids, they need your time and attention. I love playing or even just keeping your pet company while you’re away! I’m currently a full time nursing student looking to make some extra money as I am not working right now. Please reach out and I will try my best to accommodate you! I love dogs, I would love to accompany your pet and keep them company while you’re gone. As I have a dog of my own I know how it feels to have to leave your animal and I will try my best to keep them happy until your return!
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.
“Olivia is a great dog walker as she is very responsive to my dogs needs and her extreme dislike of hot humid weather. Thanks for being so understanding!”
About: I have always grown up around dogs ever since I was little. I am a trustworthy pet sitter and love spending time with my pets! I have a lot of free time before I go back to school, and I’m looking for a side job. I love working with animals and I’m looking forward to pet sitting. I won’t be available to pet sit starting August 20th as I am going back to school- I will always make sure the pet is in my eyesight, I will play with pets and keep them occupied, and make sure they don't feel too overwhelmed and keep them calm.

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.”

Ruby dog parents share their Rover experiences
Sebastian is beyond beyond beyond incredible. Our family was in an emergency last minute bind and needed 3 visits a day for an entire week on short notice. Not only that, but had to extend the visits several times unexpectedly. I feel insanely lucky that Sebastian was able to accommodate us. Our dogs are older with special health and behavioral needs and Sebastian didn’t bat an eye. The pups immediately took to Sebastian and they all became best buds. We cannot thank you enough, Sebastian!!!!!!!!!! 100/10 :) :)
