Dog Walking Stone Ridge

About: I have always been an animal lover. As a kid, I had a guinea pig and a dog, and I spent a lot of my time at a farm, riding and caring for horses. Aside from taking care of my family dog, I have looked after the pets of friends and acquaintances. I have experience with both dogs and cats. I have volunteered in animal shelters and sanctuaries, and previously worked with a dog groomer, bathing and drying dogs. I work a part-time 11am-5pm job, mostly on weekends, along with some special events. I have quite a bit of flexibility with my schedule, so I can arrange it to fit with other responsibilities, such as pet sitting needs! I have a fenced yard, perfect for playing! I currently do not have any pets. I love to provide pets with the entertainment exercise they need, and I'm always happy to give cuddles if your pet likes physical affection, or space if they prefer to keep some distance.

About: I've cared for animals my whole life: around four dogs and more than five cats over the years, from feeding and walks to overnight stays and everything in between. Right now I live with and care for four cats full-time (litter, feeding, treats, training), including Bitsy, who came to us as a feral, abandoned kitten. She'd survived months alone in the woods before she was rescued, and she wouldn't come near anyone. I spent hours lying on the floor of the room she was in until she finally came to say hello. From there, I trained her to come when called, sit on command, and wait patiently for food. It wasn't instant and it wasn't guaranteed. It took months of just showing up, consistently, before she trusted anyone. That's the same approach I bring to every animal I care for, whether they warm up in five minutes or need real time to feel safe. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting, and I'm comfortable administering medication if your pet needs it. I always ask for a meet-and-greet before the first booking, so we can make sure it's a good fit before you leave your pet in my care. I am home most of the day and open most of the week, so I can offer flexible availability that works with your schedule. Weekends work too, but I prioritize weekday requests first if I have to choose. Unfortunately, I don’t have the space to board or have client pets in my home. All of my care takes place on your pet’s own turf where they are comfortable. During a visit or walk, I’ll send you updates and photos every hour to a few hours, depending on the length of the job. That way you are always aware of how things are going. I believe in preparation first. I make sure to understand your pet’s routine, habits, and any risks before I’m alone with them so that I can prevent problems. If something does go wrong then the priority is getting the animal safe first. I will update you the moment that’s done or as soon as I can do it without compromising your animals safety or the safety and privacy of your home.

“I was so happy to meet Grettel! She immediately set me , and my dog at ease. Even though it was a last minute booking, she made the effort to come for a meet and greet the day before the first walk. She asked all the right questions and was very communicative throughout. Wonderful connection.”

I train my own dogs using positive reinforcement, which means I understand canine body language, boundaries, and how to encourage good behavior.Whether your furry family member is an energetic puppy who needs consistent routine and patience, or a sweet senior who requires gentle care, medication, and a slow pace, I know exactly what it takes to keep them safe, comfortable, and happy.

About: I will keep you updated throughout the day letting you know how your pet is doing. If you'd like, I can even send you pictures showing how happy your pet is. I freelance in film production which allows me to be flexible with days and time. I have a wired sleeping schedule too which will allow me to go whenever to watch your pet.

About: I grew up around animals, from birds and hermit crabs to cats and dogs, my household has always been filled with pets. I have also fostered medically fragile dogs and volunteered at the Westchester Humane Society. I am passionate about ensuring all animals receive the best possible care and I will give your pet the same love I give my own. I currently work part time and I’m a full time grad student, but I have my own transportation so my schedule is open and flexible. I will schedule a meet and greet with you and your pet to learn all about their unique quirks, likes, dislikes, and routines prior to beginning services with them.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life, I have owned and cared for multiple breeds of dogs and cats, big and small, and been a pet sitter for friends and family on and off for the last 10 years. As a result of my experience as a pet parent and sitter I am very comfortable with most breeds. I also have limited experience training full grown dogs as well as puppies. I am available for walks, check-ins, or pet sitting every day. I am also available for boarding on a case by case basis. My work schedule allows me to be present for most of the day, so I can remain attentive and take plenty of walk and play breaks. During the times that I am gone I am able to crate them if that is your preference or they can have free access to the main part of the house and I will check in on them regularly through the doggie cams. I am able to dog sit in your home as well as in my own home, which has a large amount of indoor space that they can roam around in, as well as a partially fenced back yard that they can play in on a long leash with my supervision. I have plenty of time for walks and play breaks during the day. And during the few hours a day that I am out of the house, they can be crated, or they can roam around the main part of the house. I check in on them every half hour through the doggy cams set up in the house. I am comfortable walking, feeding, and if necessary, providing medication on the schedule and in the manner that you prefer.

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.

“Rachel was really fantastic with Milo! I've left Milo with others but having now seen the difference using and experienced and professional, Rachel will for sure, for sure be my go-to pet-carer from now on! Thank you so much, Rachel for the interactive updates and funny commentary. It's been a joy using your service. Milo just can't wait to see you again!”
