Deanne was great!! First, she immediately allowed us to bring our dog to her home to see where he would be staying. She did not judge him based on size and breed but rather on his temperament and his potential fit with her family. She asked great questions before his stay and kept me informed during his visit.(she even sent photos and brief video) This was a great experience for us and Lucido!! We will be using her services again very soon!!!!

Amanda was great with our dogs. She listened carefully to each of their needs and made sure to accommodate particular requests. Amanda was prompt in getting back to us anytime we reached out and sent us occasional photos of the dogs playing or resting. She has a lovely home and large fenced-in backyard where the dogs could run free and get plenty of exercise. We felt at ease knowing our precious pups were kept safe and warm while we were away!

About: I have years of experience with many different types of dogs. I watch dogs on a regular basis. For younger dogs I can offer a mountain hikes and for older dogs I can walk them on boardwalk trails that are easy on the joints, yet give the dog the sense of walking in the woods. I don't mind larger dogs at all. I also am willing to cook food for dogs. I very much enjoy the company of dogs and find that when they are well fed and exercised they are really pleasant to be around. Please give me honest description of your dog so I can plan His/Her visit accordingly. My house is set back (1000 feet) from a country road . I can pick up dogs in NYC , Great Barrington , Hudson, or Albany for a fee. I have watched many dogs over the years. Usually I try to walk them as much as possible. I feed them well , but make them follow the sit command before being fed and multiple times a day. All dogs have to be on a slip proof leash when outside or dropped off. Dogs often don't behave as they do at home . Once off a leash it can be very difficult to recapture a dog. In the house I don't crate dogs . We can only watch a few dogs at once. If your dog is very difficult let me know in advanced. Also Corgies get 10% off.

Daisy was happy and at ease with Jane which is all we could ask for — and we got incredible photos the whole stay so we could see how she was doing and not miss her too much. We will absolutely be using Jane for all future dog sitting needs and highly recommend her to anyone else!!

We had SUCH a wonderful experience with Meghan & Sean—and so did our pup! Our 3yo dog is nervous around new people and can be reactive. We were worried about how she would do staying with a family with young kids. Meghan & Sean listed to our worries and helped up brainstorm ways to put our dog at ease. And it worked like a charm! We were so grateful to the extra time Meghan & Sean spent to make both the humans and the doggo feel positive about the plan. We loved getting pics of the crew on their daily walks. It was also really really REALLY nice to see how much love Meghan and fam have for all animals, and how positive they were about our sometimes tricky dog. Our dog had a great week and we will definitely return to Meghan & Sean for future doggy needs, whether it is another week or a shorter visit. Highly recommend, zero notes!

About: I have a genuine love for animals and have cared for a variety over the years, from my own 16 year old Shiba Inu (she passed just last May) and 1 year old Maine Coon, to my friends and families pets, including farm animals! From dogs and cats to birds and more, I provide tailored care, including administering medications and meeting dietary needs. Based in New York, I'm available to serve clients in the city and surrounding areas, although I am open to traveling. Whether it's a short trip or an extended vacation, I can accommodate your needs and provide a stress-free experience. I am a working creative in the process of developing my own consulting business. I have worked in the art department for fashion, design and film companies for over 10 years and am just now taking this opportunity to travel to places I’ve never been while enjoying a slower way of life. Trust is paramount, and I take it seriously. Your home and belongings will be treated with the utmost respect and care, giving you peace of mind while you're away. With me as your trusted sitter, you can stay connected with regular updates and adorable photos of your pets. I'm always available to address any questions or concerns you may have. Clear communication is key to a great house sitting experience.

We boarded our two dogs with Diana this past week. Both of the dogs are rescues and bit skiddish around people, so we met for a brief meet & greet prior to the boarding date with her dog. The dogs got along great. I felt comfortable knowing that Diana has had a lot of experience caring for dogs - she provided good updates to throughout their stay and was very responsive. I would highly recommend and would use her services in the future!

Janice took great care of our almost one year old golden retriever on a recent weekend stay. She was caring, thorough, and only takes on one pet at a time so she can provide one on one care and attention. Ellie loved getting to know Janice’s two dogs and cat and enjoying the beautiful fall weather from the relaxing farm atmosphere. Janice sent frequent updates and photos throughout Ellie’s stay, which made it easy to relax and enjoy our time away. I would definitely book her again!

About: We’ve been avid dog lovers our whole lives! Comfortable and confident with all sizes and temperaments. We are an active and fun loving family who enjoys the outdoors- we live in private lake community with tons of safe and open space to enjoy walks, hikes, and swimming. Recently, we had to say goodbye to our beloved Pitbull of 13 years; Mia. We have always had more than one dog in our home and her passing has left a gap in our hearts- we’d love the opportunity to care for your dog(s) in our home as we know how important their comfort and well being is to your family- just as it is to ours! Working from home, we have plenty of time in our schedule to accommodate the needs of your furry best friend! We can be as active or relaxed with your pet as you are comfortable with. Safety is one of our top priorities so it’s important for us to learn of any concerns you may have! We look forward to discussing the individual needs of each dog and will document and adjust accordingly. Leashed walks and supervised play time outdoors and in at all times.

About: I grew up with mid-size dogs and often cared for small dogs belonging to family friends in Pittsburgh. When I moved upstate, I became a proud cat dad to a black cat named Lola for three years, and since then I’ve cat-sat for several older cats with specific food and medication routines. I’m comfortable with cats of different sizes and temperaments, and I’m always attentive to any special needs or preferences they may have, including medications, play-times, or litter routines. As a freelancer who works remotely, I have a flexible schedule that lets me give your pets the attention they deserve. I’m also available for house sitting and overnights, and pride myself on being responsible, respectful, and kind—treating every home and animal as if they were my own.

Ellen has house sat for us a few times and does a fantastic job every time. My two elderly cats have several medical needs that keep changing and she is always able to adhere to them. They both usually miss me a lot when I get home, but not so much when Ellen is watching them. She is incredibly responsible and trustworthy to house sit (which is very scary when dealing with someone you don’t know). Highly recommended!

I absolutely adore animals and love to give them attention, play with them and learn with them.

About: Hello! I've been an animal lover my entire life. My dog, Zeke and I had a companion kind of relationship, built on mutual respect and happiness; it's something I wouldn't have traded for the world. He sadly passed away in October 2025 after 12 years together, so it would be an understatement to say I'm more than happy to pour extra love to your pup. Times are tough; starting a new 'negotiations and bartering' acceptance. Reach out, the worst I can say is no! Partial payment in veggies, meat, mechanic work...etc. Community care✨ ___________________________________________________________________________ This is a new offering as of August 2024. I have discovered that adventures are my ideal experiences and would like to advertise as such! Mountain hikes, kayak paddles (>15 pounds) are my favorites, but I am open to other ideas/training requests! Paddleboarding, swimming lessons...the possibilities are endless. One hour minimum is preferred; gas and travel time to the adventure site are included. I have many mountains, lakes and trails on my list, so I do not see it as fair to charge you for that time! You will only be charged for adventure time. Depending on your pup(s) comfortability in the car, we may travel up to 45 minutes. You and I will decide together on location details, and this app will track where your pup(s) and I are at all times. Wilderness First Aid trained, canine safety versed, ample water provided, and pups will always be kept safely on the leash. Your pup will return home satisfied and tired! ____________________________________________________________________________ For a NORMAL NEIGHBORHOOD WALK, please book a drop-in visit and message to remind me that you would like a walk. Availability for walks and drop-ins will change after Labor Day. Unavailable most weekdays 8-3:30, I am a caretaker by nature, and have been a teacher for the past 4years, a live in nanny before that and most recently a grade school teacher. I'm going back to school to get my licensure. Honestly, care taking and fresh air gives me clarity of mind, and the chance to peel away from the screen helps process all the new information! I am trying to practice running again too, if your canine would like to train with me. Familiar with many local trails and parks. All weather is good weather! Experience with dogs with seizures and giving various medications. Feline friend as well. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry friends ! I work at a school, but often have days and weeks off. Feel free to request and negotiate for what you need. Finding a good fit is paramount. I offer boarding very rarely. When I am in your home, I try to leave it better than I found it. I have spent a fair amount of time farming and gardening, so plants will be well cared for if asked.

About: Hello! Thanks for reading! My husband and I own a farm on a back road. I am a horse trainer, I also teach riding lessons. We have a lot of land to roam and ponds if you wish your pup to swim. We have smaller fences for playing but we mostly leash (long leash or off leash if applicable) walk 3/4 times per day with additional potty breaks as needed. I own an amazing senior pit bull, a young blue heeler , horses, goats, of course a few cats. I specialize in working with troubled horses & dogs. I have a lot of experience with working dogs (Shepards, heelers, etc) & bully breeds. I work from home 95% of the time. I truly enjoy meeting new pets and to spend quality with your fur babies. I have an outstanding amount of experience with many different animals and behaviors. I have worked in a dog grooming facility & along side vets. It was an amazing experience. We are willing to work with all your pets needs. We have our house set up so that the dogs do not have to interact if they don’t desire but are welcome to play and interact should they wish. We aim to keep every pet safe, happy and healthy! We are happy to watch your pup for short or extended length stays. Please make sure all pets are up to date on shots and flea/tick. We appreciate it! We can offer add-ons to your experience as well. They include pickup, drop off, bathing, light grooming, & training. We hope to hear from you soon and be in contact to watch all your fur children! Thanks for your time! We will see you soon! I make my own schedule so have a generous amount of flexibility. I work from home as well. We strive for the best care possible. I have one friendly senior dog & one young blue heeler. We have a large amount of land to explore and play. I will work with all your animals needs.

About: I’ve grown up with Chinchillas, Cats, Dogs, Ducks, Chickens, & Reptiles. My Fiancé & I currently have 3 Cats (they love dogs- but if any issues - can be kept separate in their cat room to create a more comfortable stay for any pet that doesn’t like cats), between me & my partner- someone is always home to give attention to & play with pets. (Aside from when we go to the store or doctors appointments). Your pets will get the best care!!! Someone will always be home with your pets, either I am home or when I’m at work my fiancé Deanne is home & is also a huge animal lover. The only times someone isn’t home is when we’re grocery shopping or at an appointment. We have the rail trail right in our backyard that goes for miles- it’s a great trail to take dog walks on! We usually do that or use tie outs or the dogs leashes in our yard since we don’t have a fenced in yard, but your pets are never left unattended on the tie-outs, someone will be outside with them at all times

About: I'll provide constant supervision of your pet. I enjoy interacting with animals. Although I am not a professional dog handler I have had a dog in the house for the past 12 years. I will do my best to provide competent care for your pet. I am currently retired from the Columbia County jail, after completing 23 years. I am a Navy veteran. My wife and I have twin boys who are all grown up and out of the house. As a result of this I have become a little bored. I would appreciate your consideration when deciding on who to entrust the care of your pet while you are away. You will be able to be rest assured that they are being taken care of. I am usually available all the time except for the occasional vacation I might go on. Weekends are no problem either. I am pretty much available year round. I like to hang out with my dog all day. Adding more animals to the mix is no problem. I like taking walks with them and I also have a fenced yard.

Logan is a great pet sitter! He's very knowledgeable, friendly, and provides a home-like environment while allowing for space and downtime amongst the few other dogs he may have at that time.. He is accommodating to your pet's individual needs and personality which is comforting when you've got a dog that is slow to warm up! We've used him for daycare and plan to board with him as well!

Bob and Debbie are the best. Our doggo can be nervous around strangers but they knew exactly how to ingratiate themselves to her, and even gave us great tips on how to socialize her. If I were a dog I would want to be in their care. Heck, I’m a grown adult and I want to be in their care. I will definitely book them again.

About: I offer drop-in visits, dog walking, and overnight house sitting for cats or dogs, and I’m happy to provide daily exercise, playtime, feeding, and medication support as needed. Whether your pet loves long walks, quiet companionship, or consistent routines, I tailor my care to fit their needs and personality. I grew up with mid-size dogs and frequently watched smaller dogs for family friends in Pittsburgh. After moving upstate, I became a devoted cat dad to my black cat, Lola, for four years. Since then, I’ve cared for cats of all ages, including seniors with specific feeding and medication schedules. I'm attentive and responsive to every animal’s unique rhythm. I currently work remotely as a freelancer, which gives me the flexibility to drop in or house-sit for quality time with your pets during the day. I enjoy staying active and love being outdoors—so your dog will always get a good walk (and a happy walking buddy!). For overnight stays, I treat every home and pet with the respect and care I’d want for my own. I pride myself on being responsible, respectful, and kind—treating every home and animal as if my own. As a freelancer who works remotely, I have a flexible schedule that lets me give your pets the attention they deserve. I’m also available for house sitting and overnights provided there's stable wifi. I am a trustworthy house sitter/ walker who priotizes clear communication on expectations and house standards. I do not offer pet care from my own home.

About: Hello! Thanks for reading! My husband and I own a farm on a back road. I am a horse trainer, I also teach riding lessons. We have a lot of land to roam and ponds if you wish your pup to swim. We have smaller fences for playing but we mostly leash (long leash or off leash if applicable) walk 3/4 times per day with additional potty breaks as needed. I own an amazing senior pit bull, a young blue heeler , horses, goats, of course a few cats. I specialize in working with troubled horses & dogs. I have a lot of experience with working dogs (Shepards, heelers, etc) & bully breeds. I work from home 95% of the time. I truly enjoy meeting new pets and to spend quality with your fur babies. I have an outstanding amount of experience with many different animals and behaviors. I have worked in a dog grooming facility & along side vets. It was an amazing experience. We are willing to work with all your pets needs. We have our house set up so that the dogs do not have to interact if they don’t desire but are welcome to play and interact should they wish. We aim to keep every pet safe, happy and healthy! We are happy to watch your pup for short or extended length stays. Please make sure all pets are up to date on shots and flea/tick. We appreciate it! We can offer add-ons to your experience as well. They include pickup, drop off, bathing, light grooming, & training. We hope to hear from you soon and be in contact to watch all your fur children! Thanks for your time! We will see you soon! I make my own schedule so have a generous amount of flexibility. I work from home as well. We strive for the best care possible.

About: I've been taking care of dogs since I was five years old and continued to get more dogs. I have dog sat for multiple friends and family rating from dogs and cats. As far as training animals, I did grow up with having to train them so I do have some experience. I am currently working part time and go to community college but will be able to manage and work out a schedule that will be accommodating. I have 3 dogs that have invisible fences outside so they can roam free without getting lost, going to the road, running off. I have a big yard surrounding my house so they are used to running around freely. When it gets too cold they come in to the house or garage with my father. I am used to walking dogs as they do get walked on occasion at home or if we have them out of the house. I do not off offer services that welcome pets into my house but I am accommodating as necessary and will offer services at your residency.

I’ll treat your dog the way I would want someone to care for mine—making sure they’re happy and loved while you’re away. Whether your pet is young and energetic or older and needing extra care, I'll give them the love and attention they need. I'm a freelance writer who works from home with no set schedule, so my days are very flexible. I can accommodate whatever you and your pet need. I'll treat your pet like my own. I'll be sure they receive any food or medication required, with an extra dose of love and attention. I'm also respectful of your space and privacy.

About: If your dog is a rescue who's still figuring out the world, or just a creature of habit who thrives on routine — that's exactly who I do this for. I work from home, so I'm able to follow their schedule: same walks, same feeding times, same special treats. The only thing different about your dog's week is which human is holding the leash (and cuddling on the couch). Send me a message to set up a meet-and-greet — I'd love to hear all about your pet. Working from home means your dog has company during the day, not just a check-in at mealtimes. I build my schedule around the pets I'm caring for, so your dog's feeding times, walks, and favorite spots on the couch all stay as consistent as possible. The goal is for your dog to feel like not much has changed. When we're outside, your dog has my full attention. I skip dog parks to avoid the risks of unpredictable dogs, illness, or overstimulation. I only care for dogs from one household at a time, so your dog always gets my undivided focus. During the warmer months, I stay on top of tick checks and heat management to keep your dog safe and comfortable. I'm comfortable administering oral medications and I closely monitor food intake and potty patterns so I can flag anything unusual.

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 I 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: Hello! I’m Jess, and I provide specialized walking and drop-in visits across the Catskill, Hudson, and greater Columbia/Greene County area. I don’t just walk dogs; I use every visit as an opportunity to build confidence, improve focus, and reinforce leash manners. My approach is built entirely on modern, science based Positive Reinforcement and LIMA (Least Invasive, Minimally Aversive) principles. I believe in rewarding behaviors we want to see, helping dogs learn safely, without the use of intimidation or aversive tools. I am currently completing dog training and behavior studies through the CATCH Academy curriculum. This ongoing education ensures your dog is in the hands of an informed and committed professional. I currently work part time on Sundays and Wednesdays, so I have plenty of time during the week to give your pets plenty of attention, playtime, and care. I focus on leash manners during every walk to ensure a pleasant and comfortable experience. I can work with dogs on impulse control skills to help reduce pulling through positive reinforcement and force free training methods. If your dog has any triggers I will work to maintain distance and reward when calm to ensure success and keep stress to a minimum for your pup.

About: Hi! My name is Andrea. I have lived in the Hudson Valley for almost 4 years now, and have been working in the area off and on since 2014. I live with my partner, Mike, and precious pup Kona. I have always lived with dogs. And recently, have been thinking about getting a cat! I am an Occupational Therapist in a school district full time and love to farm and bicycle during my off time. I’ve done house sitting and dog sitting previously and enjoyed the work. I have my own vehicle and am used to commuting around the Hudson Valley for work and for fun. I wanted to get back into dog sitting and pet sitting to assist in getting a new car and to get to spend time with pets! I have always been obsessed with dogs! I show that through meeting as many as I can when out in the community :). I am active person, so long walks and playing is something I can provide. I am open to any requests you might have and am great at keeping in touch with pet parents. I can always be available through text, call, or email. I’m so excited to meet you and your lovely pets!! I have a full time job, so weekends are my only availability. However, I am open to discuss any special circumstances! I might potentially be more available on a long weekend, when I am off from my school based job. I would want to care for your pets as you would or how you would want. I am great with a schedule and specific requests.

Deanne was great!! First, she immediately allowed us to bring our dog to her home to see where he would be staying. She did not judge him based on size and breed but rather on his temperament and his potential fit with her family. She asked great questions before his stay and kept me informed during his visit.(she even sent photos and brief video) This was a great experience for us and Lucido!! We will be using her services again very soon!!!!

Taylor was SO loving with our dogs, so wonderful to interact with, and fed our dogs some of the fancy raw diet food her dogs have. It was a holiday treat for our pups!

Garrett & Deanne were really great! Ruby seemed to have a great time with them. They kept me updated on how she was doing (especially with the fireworks over July 4th). I'll definitely be having them watch my girl in the future!

Amanda was great with our dogs. She listened carefully to each of their needs and made sure to accommodate particular requests. Amanda was prompt in getting back to us anytime we reached out and sent us occasional photos of the dogs playing or resting. She has a lovely home and large fenced-in backyard where the dogs could run free and get plenty of exercise. We felt at ease knowing our precious pups were kept safe and warm while we were away!

My dog was in good spirits when I picked her up after staying with Cipriana . I appreciated the photos she sent of Abby cuddling on the couch! I will definitely use Cipriana’s services again in the future.

About: I have years of experience with many different types of dogs. I watch dogs on a regular basis. For younger dogs I can offer a mountain hikes and for older dogs I can walk them on boardwalk trails that are easy on the joints, yet give the dog the sense of walking in the woods. I don't mind larger dogs at all. I also am willing to cook food for dogs. I very much enjoy the company of dogs and find that when they are well fed and exercised they are really pleasant to be around. Please give me honest description of your dog so I can plan His/Her visit accordingly. My house is set back (1000 feet) from a country road . I can pick up dogs in NYC , Great Barrington , Hudson, or Albany for a fee. I have watched many dogs over the years. Usually I try to walk them as much as possible. I feed them well , but make them follow the sit command before being fed and multiple times a day. All dogs have to be on a slip proof leash when outside or dropped off. Dogs often don't behave as they do at home . Once off a leash it can be very difficult to recapture a dog. In the house I don't crate dogs . We can only watch a few dogs at once. If your dog is very difficult let me know in advanced. Also Corgies get 10% off.

Daisy’s stay with Jane was the best! Daisy was happy and at ease with Jane which is all we could ask for — and we got incredible photos the whole stay so we could see how she was doing and not miss her too much. We will absolutely be using Jane for all future dog sitting needs and highly recommend her to anyone else!!

I felt very comfortable leaving my pup with Mary and Todd. They have a lovely home and included my dog in all of their activities: walking, running, and much more. They also kept me up to date with pics and anecdotes. I would highly recommend Mary and Todd to anyone!

We had SUCH a wonderful experience with Meghan & Sean—and so did our pup! Our 3yo dog is nervous around new people and can be reactive. We were worried about how she would do staying with a family with young kids. Meghan & Sean listed to our worries and helped up brainstorm ways to put our dog at ease. And it worked like a charm! We were so grateful to the extra time Meghan & Sean spent to make both the humans and the doggo feel positive about the plan. We loved getting pics of the crew on their daily walks. It was also really really REALLY nice to see how much love Meghan and fam have for all animals, and how positive they were about our sometimes tricky dog. Our dog had a great week and we will definitely return to Meghan & Sean for future doggy needs, whether it is another week or a shorter visit. Highly recommend, zero notes!

About: I have a genuine love for animals and have cared for a variety over the years, from my own 16 year old Shiba Inu (she passed just last May) and 1 year old Maine Coon, to my friends and families pets, including farm animals! From dogs and cats to birds and more, I provide tailored care, including administering medications and meeting dietary needs. Based in New York, I'm available to serve clients in the city and surrounding areas, although I am open to traveling. Whether it's a short trip or an extended vacation, I can accommodate your needs and provide a stress-free experience. I am a working creative in the process of developing my own consulting business. I have worked in the art department for fashion, design and film companies for over 10 years and am just now taking this opportunity to travel to places I’ve never been while enjoying a slower way of life. Trust is paramount, and I take it seriously. Your home and belongings will be treated with the utmost respect and care, giving you peace of mind while you're away. With me as your trusted sitter, you can stay connected with regular updates and adorable photos of your pets. I'm always available to address any questions or concerns you may have. Clear communication is key to a great house sitting experience.

We boarded our two dogs with Diana this past week. Both of the dogs are rescues and bit skiddish around people, so we met for a brief meet & greet prior to the boarding date with her dog. The dogs got along great. I felt comfortable knowing that Diana has had a lot of experience caring for dogs - she provided good updates to throughout their stay and was very responsive. I would highly recommend and would use her services in the future!

Janice took great care of our almost one year old golden retriever on a recent weekend stay. She was caring, thorough, and only takes on one pet at a time so she can provide one on one care and attention. Ellie loved getting to know Janice’s two dogs and cat and enjoying the beautiful fall weather from the relaxing farm atmosphere. Janice sent frequent updates and photos throughout Ellie’s stay, which made it easy to relax and enjoy our time away. I would definitely book her again!

Peter was such a wonderful sitter. His updates were timely and detailed and I felt confident that Nutmeg was cared for, happy, and healthy during her stay. I will definitely ask Peter to sit again if I’m ever in the area again.

Best sitter ever. Magnolia has the perfect house set-up for watching dogs. A huge fenced in yard. Plus she and her partner have dog whisperer vibes cos Roo tends to be quite nervous when he first meets people but we were shocked to see him behave like he's know them for ages when we dropped him off. It's so reassuring to finally have an experienced and reliable dog sitter near by!

I never worry about Shadow when she is with her sitter. I can relax and enjoy myself because I know she is being well cared for, very fortunate to have found such a wonderful sitter.
