“Deanne and Garrett did a great job and we’d happily use them again anytime. Our dog isn’t the easiest but I could quickly tell that they appreciated the individual she is and would do a wonderful job keeping her happy and safe.”


“Now we know what Mildred has so many 5 star reviews. Thank you so much for the love and care you gave Cuddles this weekend. We appreciated the updates and photos as well. Now we know that we can make plans and also know that Cuddles is safe and happy. We appreciate you.”


“Cherissa and Ricardo were great with my 4yr old pup. They took very good care of him and sent pictures of him and let me know he was doing great. I would recommend them to anyone to watch their dog! Great job thank you!”


“I did not want to put my dogs in a kennel and was looking for a quiet home for the dogs to stay. Maria provided the perfect place for them. A quiet home on a dead end street where they were given long walks and personal attention during their stay. Maria provided video and pictures to us during their stay. I plan on using Maria again on our next vacation and would recommend her.”


“Brandie was great with cookie gave her all the attention she could ever need and kept me updated with pics and notes I didn’t worry well I still worry but that’s normal. Cookie had a great time and I knew she was taken well care of will definitely be using Brandie again”


“Franny took wonderful care of my 14 year old Charlie overnight. She’s a very kind person and Charlie felt completely comfortable with her. He also got along well with her dog. I will definitely be using her again.”


“Candice was so nice and was easy to coordinate with. Her space was perfect for my dog and a plus that she let him on the furniture as he loves to chill out on the couch and bed. My dog seems to have a great time and I’m so thankful to have someone nearby.”


“Absolute peace of mind through the entire experience. This was only the third time with a sitter and second boarding my Whiskey dog overnight; but never have I felt as content as when he was with Judy, her wonderful family & beautiful home. Was able to completely enjoy my vacation knowing he was cared for as one of her own. I really can’t thank her enough for what that contentment was worth to me. To top it off she’s so nice!! Had pushed the date forward a day at the last minute, she was totally understanding and went with the flow. Just thank you!!!! I know Whiskey dog misses his new friends already =^_^=”


“Thalya was great and really looked after my dog Duke really well! We were gone for over 20 days and Thalya really went above and beyond to make Duke feel at home! Would recommend to all!”


“Donna was absolutely amazing with Hoops! She sent us photos/video of Hoops out and about and playing with her sweet dog Reggie and another other pup guest. We decided to extend an extra night where we were staying and Donna was so accommodating agreeing to watch Hoops the extra day/night. When we arrived to pick him up he was sleeping perfectly contently on Donna’s sofa. He was well-cared for and happy. Your furry family member is in the best of care with Donna!”


“Taylor was incredible with my pups and went above and beyond washing their crates. They seemed super happy over a long stay. My dogs are not easy to handle and she was able to handle them very well. Much appreciated and would 10/10 book with Taylor again!!!”



“Christine is a life saver ! She took great care of our girl on such short notice. She sent pictures and was very quick to respond. Our pup was happy and tired when she got home. Thank you Christine !”


“Couldn't be happier with the care Cristian gave my dogs! He is incredibly nice, accommodating and fantastic with the dogs. He gave regular updates with my dogs on walks and they came back healthy and happy. Highly recommend for anyone looking to take care of their dogs when away.”


“Magnolia took such good care of our dog Uma. She has a great property for playtime and a spacious and cozy home. I felt very at ease after our meet and greet that Uma would be in good hands. She also was flexible with scheduling changes and made an effort to send me updates frequently. I will definitely reach out to her again for future services and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a genuine pet loving caretaker of your animals.”


About: I've had the privilege of caring for a variety of animals over the years. From mice, rabbits, dogs, cats, horses, chickens, ducks - I love to pamper them all! I've learned to understand each animals' individual needs and am hyperfocused in their comfort. Being a committed pet parent, I've experienced and indulged in all the milestones - so I'm ready for the puppy edition all the way through caring for your senior family member. Being very detailed oriented and personally spoiling my own critters, I can support even the most high maintenance of fur babies! My fiancé (also on Rover!) ensure your furbaby is entertained around the clock! I work from home and handle the early bird shift, including your pup in the sunrise (bright snd early) farm chores. My fiancé provides the daytime activities including long walks and hikes on our farm, supervised yard time, play time. Evening activities include additional walks and games. Pups will have their last walk and tucked in for the night around 1030PM. I am extremely conscious of pet safety and following instructions provided by owners. When pets are at my home, they will not have any interaction with other animals- just me and my fiancé (who is also on Rover!). Dogs will always be on a leash, with the exception of being enclosed in a secure fenced in area. We have a 1 acre fenced in yard where dogs can have supervised zoomie time. Dogs will never be left unattended in the yard. Our fur guests spending the day or night will have their own room with a bed, crate (if preferred for their comfort or if they are beavers), ad lib water, etc.


“Jen was excellent! We boarded our dog with her for two nights and had a great experience. Communication was easy, the house felt safe and secure, and care instructions were followed. We will definitely use her again!”


“Katherine was really responsive and sent lots of photos. And when our boy wasn’t eating, she inquired if that was normal…which it was. I would have her dog-sit again for me in the future.”



About: I would love to take your dog for a walk or hike in and around the Woodstock area. I have many years of experience owning dogs and cats, and dog and cat sitting for friends since I was a kid. I have also spent time walking dogs at animal shelters and am trained in pet first aid and cpr. I love big dogs, little dogs and anything in between :) I'm usually available during the day and some evenings and weekends. I love to hike and would also be happy to hike with your dog. I'm passionate about health and wellness and natural living. I'm originally from the UK but have been living in NY for over a decade. I live in the Woodstock area with my two daughters, our two rescue dogs and our rescue kitten. I’m usually out walking dogs in the morning and working from home in the afternoons. My dogs love to play with other pups and we enjoy going on long walks or taking care of pets in our home. I’m also available for drop in visits at your home, or for your dogs to stay at our home while you are away. I always keep dogs on the leash and make sure we get plenty of time outside. I have plenty of dog toys and beds in the house for playing and naps.

“So glad we connected with Hila! We could tell right away that our puppy would be well cared for - she was comfortable with Hila and Ruby immediately. We appreciated all the communication and photos. We'll definitely be back!”
