“Elisha is so good with our senior citizen pup who does not like to do much when the weather isn’t to her liking. Elisha still coaxes her out for the necessities then plays with her to keep her mentally stimulated. We are so grateful to have Elisha care for our older dog when we are having our busy days and cannot.”
About: Hi, I’m Abigail! I recently moved back to the Hudson Valley to develop my career in the environmental field. I’m currently working part-time at a native plant nursery. When I'm not spending time nature and with plants, I love caring for animals! Growing up with animals in my household ranging from cats to dogs (to even turtles and birds) has given me an affinity to not just adore all types of animals, but has given me the proper skills to understand the responsibility of caring for an animal. I understand that all animals are unique in what makes them feel comfortable and loved and will always do what is best to ensure the safety and comfortability of your pet! For dogs: - A meet and greet would be a great idea beforehand to get to know both you and your dog, so I can provide the best service possible! - I love being outdoors as much as I can, so I plan to take your dog for long walks as much as I can! - As for potty breaks, I think three times a day is the absolute minimum. Once in the morning, afternoon, and before bedtime. However, if I am not working, I can take them out as much as you/they desire! - Maintaining your pets feeding routine is very important to and I take special care to be considerate of any special dietary care you dog needs. - Lastly, I know it can be hard for some animals to be separated from their loved ones. I will make sure they are feeling loved while they are under my care. For cats: - I currently care for an orange tabby rescue, named Hugo, who can be a bit needy, (although him being special only makes me love him more!), so I understand that cats can require a lot of attention and love, and I will ensure to give them plenty while they are under my care. - Cleanliness is very important when caring for cats, as the owner and of a cat, I know my cat can get upset if his litter box is not kept in pristine condition, and when caring for your cat I will do the same! - Diet is just as important for animals as it is for humans. Feeding your pet according to their needs is something I will take seriously. I work part time, Wed - Sat, however I can be pretty flexible to accommodate your schedule. If I am unable to meet the needs requested I will be sure to give as much notice as possible. In a clients home, I like to keep things tidy and work within the boundaries discussed with the client. Cleanliness is important to me and I appreciate staying in homes that are kept in generally good condition. I try to mirror the animal's usual routine in a home and prioritize everyone’s comfortability.
About: I’m an outgoing, patient, and kind animal lover who takes pride in providing safe, loving, and attentive care for pets. I’ve always believed that animals bring a special joy to life, and I love being able to return that joy through play, gentle companionship, and dependable care. As a busy single mom, I’ve mastered the art of multitasking — snacks packed, homework checked, and now… happy tails walked! Pet care fits perfectly into my daily rhythm, giving me a reason to slow down, enjoy some fresh air, and spread a little extra love (and treats!) to furry friends. It’s my favorite kind of ‘me-time’ — with wagging tails and purring sidekicks included. I live in a cozy, pet-friendly condo that’s perfect for keeping furry friends safe and comfortable. My home is clean, well-kept, and free from hazards, so pets can relax and explore without worry. While there’s plenty of indoor space for lounging and play, one of the best perks is having a dog park just steps away! It’s the perfect spot for exercise, socializing, and a little fresh-air adventure — all under safe, watchful care.
“Our first meeting with Alexis was great! She was on time and professional. She was also very calm, which was great for my heeler Cash - as he’s easily excited. Will be booking some visits soon.”
About: I have been around animals all my life. Born in the country, cows and horses are most common, but I’ve come to love having dogs, cats, and reptiles of my own! There has never been an animal I couldn’t warm up to, and I love getting to know every pets unique personality. I DO OWN PETS, I just am not offering boarding services or requesting sitting services so I would prefer not to share their details! I am always willing to move around my schedule to better fit my clients needs! I have a ride ai depend on for now while I’m learning to drive so I cannot be out too late unless I’m staying the night. I prefer to pet sit or walk pets at other homes, not my own, as I have a reactive dog with history of abuse, and she is not amicable with other pets.
About: What sets me apart is the level of care, presence, and attention I bring to every pet I look after. As a stay-at-home mom, I have the flexibility and availability to give pets consistent companionship and supervision throughout the day. I understand how important routines, comfort, and trust are—especially when someone else is caring for a beloved pet. I’m naturally nurturing, detail-oriented, and communicative, which means you’ll always know your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for. I treat every pet like part of the family, because to me, they truly are. I’m a stay at home mom of 2 wonderful animal adoring children. Because I’m home throughout the day, your pet will get plenty of attention, playtime, and care. During their stay, your pet will experience all the best parts of our family just as if they were our own. When caring for your pets in a clients home, I do my best to adhere to all routines and schedules so the pets can feel as comfortable as possible. I will respect your home and keep everything clean, organized, and calm. I’m more than happy to send regular updates and photos so you can feel comfortable and at ease while you’re away. My goal is to provide a loving and safe environment for you and your pet so you can rest assured knowing that they are being taken care of to your standards.
“Lisa is someone who projects competence and trust immediately. She is caring, credible, responsive and very responsible. Mercy had a great time. We’ll definitely hire her again!”

“Lori was communicative and very helpful. She clearly knows animals well. We are very particular with our excitable pup and she read all our instructions and sent a lot of great updates. Would absolutely recommend her pet services!”
About: Animals are the best friends in our lives and deserve attentive care and respect, as well as an active life of curiosity and steady love! I am available this summer pretty much all the time. Those days when I am not available will not be on my schedule thank you! At my house we have four acres to run around on and a long private road with very little traffic where we can explore together (with a leash). There is a lot of fresh air and fun natural smells coming up from the woods to investigate!
“Almitra was professional and passionate about caring for our dog. She was patient, and most importantly lovingly towards our dog. We highly recommend Almitra, and we look forward to have her take care of our Lilo in the future.”
“Gunny loved her, excitement level was high which is a great indicator. She is so nice, such good vibes. I felt completely safe handing my boy off for a walk. Will definitely reach out to her again!”
