Personalized care for your dog or cat - Brinckerhoff
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Brinckerhoff
“I would definitely recommend Brittany to anyone that needs boarding for their pets. She treated our puppy Storm like she was one of her own. She sent us pictures of Storm having a great time and assured us that she was playing the entire time she was there. When we picked her up she was clearly happy and exhausted. We will definitely be using Brittany again in the future.”
“Posey had a great stay with Gretchen and her dog Sunny! She felt right at home from the first visit and I felt more than comfortable leaving her there. Sunny was super sweet and relaxed with another dog in his home. In the photos we received Posey looked very happy relaxing on the furniture and on walks! Communication with Gretchen was clear and prompt. We will definitely board Posey there again. So happy to have an homey alternative to the kennel!”
“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!”
“Jeff graciously accepted my desperate last minute request after another Rover sitter left me high and dry and agreed to take care of my dog for a full month with no prior introduction. I have a 4yo GSP with a lot of anxiety, especially when he’s separated from his mama. But my boy Max bonded with him immediately and seemed totally at ease in his new home. Jeff put up with my Velcro dog clinging to him and demanding attention all day long with no complaints. It was such a relief to know that Max was in such good hands while I was away for so long, and I couldn’t be more grateful.”
“110% recommend! Maria was excellent. We are new to NY and were in a rush to find someone to watch our pup. We got very lucky to have found Maria! She showed true passion and love for our pup just with one visit! She also noticed that he had an ear infection and took it upon herself to do something about it- can you say amazing? She ALSO gave him a bath— literally doesn’t get any better! We will certainly be using Maria again! Can’t thank her enough! ??”
“Matthew and his family are excellent dog caregivers! They have a very large fenced yard for the dogs to play. They are very attentive and sent many photos! I have an older newly adopted dog, they were so sweet and gentle with her. I highly recommend them!!!”
“Kenniqua was incredible! She took my request last minute due to a family emergency, and she really eased the stress of that weekend. Our dog was happy, got to sleep on the bed, and got walks. Her space was calm and her dog Honey was a sweetie. Kenniqua provided updates and wonderful communication. Will definitely ask Kenniqua to care for my pup again. Thank you for helping us out, Kenniqua!!”
“Mildred and her family sure treat Reggie as family. That is so reassuring knowing he is happy and safe. My 2nd stay and will probably book again in the near future”
“Mary was so accommodating and her family was delightful they truly love dogs and do their best to make one for you at home and safe. I would definitely recommend Maryline.”
About: I've taken care of animals for what feels like my entire life. I have raised two gorgeous dachshunds and have two crazy hot dogs currently. Love both cats and dogs, and I enjoy taking the dogs for walks. I have taken care of both puppies and seniors, and both need lots of care. I take care of my friends pets when they are away, and groom my own dogs. I work full-time and am generally able to do walks or visits anytime on the weekends. I cannot block out specific times on this site, and leave things mostly as available, HOWEVER, I am free after 4pm on Monday’s and Tuesday’s. Wednesday thru Friday I am only free before 10:30am or after 7:30pm. So please keep that in mind when requesting services. Friends have either lent me keys or smart access to go in and care for their pets and plants. I will usually go in, play, walk and feed (or just walk and play depending on needs). I have taken care of their pets overnight while they're away and have stayed at their homes for extended vacations, if need be. My pets are friendly, playful and curious. They do well with both senior and puppies. All three of my pets are crate trained. The puppy is currently in the process of crate training now. I do not like to leave pets unattended for too long. Dogs that have not been socialized, are not cat friendly, or are aggressive may be problematic to board, as I do have pets in the home. I will work doggy dayplay and stays around any dog walks that are prearranged. Occasionally, I can do last minute appointments, but typically like to schedule out the week ahead. I take care of my two dogs daily, so adding another to the mix is typically no problem. I treat all pets like they are my own. I love animals and I will try to work with them as much as possible while ensuring everyone’s safety. I follow the owners requests when going into client homes and will ensure any requests or dietary concerns are addressed if they are dropped off.
“Wanda is one of the best dog sitter that we ever had. She is professional. Clearly she loves dogs and passionate about what she does. She does it because she loves it and my dog loved her right from the first meet and greet. She kept us updated everyday while we are on a vacation for a week. When we picked him up we clearly noticed that he was happy and healthy during his stay. Wanda will always be our dog sitter from now on…”
“Brandie was absolutely amazing with our pup Oliver! We were on vacation for a week and felt completely at ease knowing he was in such great care. Oliver didn’t want to leave and he cannot wait to go back and visit again!!”
“Leah was absolutely wonderful with my dog, Pepi! She accepted a last-minute request without hesitation, which was such a relief and truly appreciated. From the start, her communication was clear, prompt, and reassuring. Throughout Pepi’s stay, she sent pictures and updates, which gave me great peace of mind. It was obvious she was attentive and genuinely caring. When I picked Pepi up, he was happy, well cared for, and didn’t appear stressed at all — which says everything about the environment she provides. I’m so grateful for Leah’s flexibility and kindness, and I would absolutely trust her to watch Pepi again. Highly recommend!”
“Donna is absolutely great, very nice, accommodating and very punctual. She sent many pictures with our dog, who seemed very happy and well taken care of. We are very pleased to have met her and shall definitely contact her again for future bookings. Thank you, Donna!”
“Our little guy, Wrigley, had an absolutely wonderful stay with Judy and Steven! I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for a warm, welcoming environment for their pup. As a beagle, Wrigley usually hates being left behind—but I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such caring hands. He got the royal treatment with pup cups, plenty of love and attention, and he even made a new friend in their sweet dog, Ginger. Thank you, Judy and Steven, for making Wrigley feel so at home and for giving me such peace of mind!”
“Stephen is a super care taker, for sure. Great and timely communications, friendly and very accommodating for a last minute request. Made the whole experience of looking after my Gracie seamless and easy.”
“Volha is a really reliable and sweet person who took excellent care of my two dogs. she kept me updated with pictures and told me how my dogs were doing during their stay at her home. This was a Unique and excellent five stars Customer Service Experience. I will recommend her to everyone.”
“Nothing more to say but “Amazing!!!” Erika is so communicative and she sends updates via photos! Love her and my dog, Tofu, also loved staying with her and Nugget! Thank you so much, Erika!”

Cat caregivers near you - Brinckerhoff
“Rosemary is so kind and gentle with our cats. You can see from the photos she shares that even our 'scaredy cat' Ioves her! We'd definitely recommend her.”
“Lauren was so sweet with my two cats, both my diabetic old man and my younger “ornery” cat. She is responsible, communicative, and most of all, caring. I would highly recommend Lauren for any pet sitting position, and I know my boys look forward to seeing her again”
About: Animals have always been a part of my life. Much of my experience is with dogs and horses. I have taken care of all age ranges starting with puppies and foals to senior animals. I also have experience with cats, goats, pigs, and chickens having grown up in the country. I was an active 4H member and completed their Veterinary Science courses at Cornell, so I feel comfortable giving medications and any wound care your pet may require. I am a Library Director in the Hudson Valley. I set my own schedule so my hours to provide pet services are flexible. I can work with the client to provide what their pets need. I am a responsible professional who owns their own home. I will treat your pets and home like my own and understand the importance of having a reliable, responsible pet sitter.
“Maryline is a wonderful sitter, she always takes great care of my cat Meowtus and he loves her and her son. She is highly responsive to questions and concerns and replies very quickly. Would definitely recommend!”
“Veronica was wonderful with our two cats. I would recommend her to anyone and would use her services again anytime. It was the first time I used a sitter, and it worked out perfectly”
“I was in California for 5 days, far away from my sweet cat. I did not worry about her at all though, because Jenna showed up on time, fed my kitty, and made sure she had water and a clean litter box. She sent me lots of photos and a video every day so I knew she was being well cared for. It was obvious from the photos that Emmie loved Jenna’s visits. When we arrived home, Emmie was calm and happy. I would definitely hire Jenna again to care for my cat when I am away.”
“Emily showed us not only how much she cares for our boy Odin, but also that she is rooted in years of experience! Odin is a bit barky to new people and Emily was able to handle the situation with grace - so much so, that she had him at her feet at the end of the visit! She is prompt in all her communication. And being so kind to our whole family was so very appreciated. I would recommend Emily to any dog parent wanting whole, compassionate, and reliable care. 10/10 will definitely book again!!!”
About: Hi, I’m Amanda! I’m a certified animal lover who wants to help keep your fur babies happy when life keeps you busy. I’ve owned dogs my whole life, from tiny chihuahuas to large mastiffs, I’m well versed with all sizes and breeds. I currently have a 2yo Pomeranian who loves playing, learning tricks, and meeting new friends. I also have a 1yo tuxedo cat who loves cuddles and catnip. You can depend on me to take great care of your pets. I can take them on walks, engage in play, keep them company and/or fill their bellies for mealtime. Please just let me know your pets specific needs and preferences and I’ll make sure they are comfy and happy! I just relocated and have a lot of free time to care and play with your fur babies! From the work week to the weekend, I’m available to walk, watch, feed, play, or entertain I have a friendly, playful Pomeranian who loves dogs over people. He would be happy to keep your pup company and play the day away! But if your fur baby prefers their own space, I can easily separate using my baby gates.
“Kimmie was perfect with our kitties, and they warm up to her really quick. We got photos and updates everyday while away making us feel at ease while traveling. We will really miss her taking care of them when we move.”
“Jenna was super prompt and communicative, and took such good care of my two cats while I was away - took the time to play with them and sent great updates & photos. She's the best!”
“Lex babysat my cat and house for two nights. She was friendly, communicative, and our cat seemed to love her. We came back to a clean house and happy cat. Would absolutely hire her again next time we’re out of town.”
“It was such a great decision to have Gladys and Liani take care of our cats! They proved to be extremely responsive, reliable, and punctual. When there was a car accident along the way, Gladys even checked in to let us know they would be a few minutes late. What really made Gladys and Liani stand apart from other sitters was their enthusiasm. It didn't seem like taking care of pets is just a job -- it seems that they genuinely love animals. Separately, while others made the initial scheduling process overly complicated, it was really easy to arrange everything with Gladys. Gladys and Liani earned our highest recommendation!”
About: I’ve been dog sitting and pet sitting for over 5½ years and have built experience caring for pets with different personalities, routines, and needs. I also have references available upon request. Outside of pet care, I’m a manager at Club Pilates, which has helped me become very reliable, punctual, and responsible with my time. I pride myself on communication, dependability, and treating every pet like family. I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. Ever since I was a kid, animals have always held a special place in my heart. I have two pups of my own, and I would treat your pets with the same love, care, and attention as if they were my own family. I understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust to care for your pets while you’re away. Leaving your animals with someone else can be stressful, and my goal is to give you peace of mind knowing they’re safe, cared for, loved, and getting the attention they deserve.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Brinckerhoff
“It was my first time using this app, and definitely I am happy I did with Brittany. She is so lovely, gentle and she knew how to approach to my babies since it was their first time staying with a stranger. When I picked them up, 3 hours later, they were looking so happy and very confident. Brittany is very professional and She showed love and care for my babies, definitely I will go to her if I need to leave my babies again. ☺️”
“Cody has a great time with Mary and makes herself right at home. Above and beyond dog sitter who gives plenty of walks and activities. We'd trust our dog in her care anytime!”
“Excellent care and attentiveness. My dog was comfortable right away, during a rough week of meeting lots of new people and lots of change. But my dog loves Matthew’s son, which is the secret sauce 🤣”
“Krystal was so kind and accommodating and took great care of my puppy Eva, with a great mix of play and relaxation time. Eva enjoyed her hike and lounging time and looks forward to staying with Krystal again.”
“Kimmie is so sweet, and she's a wonderful, calm presence around my dog! He had a great time at her house. We can't wait to be her regular client. She's extremely communicative, welcoming, and listened to all of our needs. Thanks Kimmie!”
About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life and understand them very well. I now have a cat of my own and looking to look after both. I am currently working part time so will have plenty of time to tend to your furbaby. I can go to your place and take care of them. I can easily handle different temperaments of cats and dogs and look after them in your own home. I also have 1 cat that is friendly.
“Laurie was great with my dog! It was my first time using Rover, and she made Clementine & I feel very comfortable with the experience. She sent me updates, made sure to go on walks/exercise through out the day & was a great companion to Clementine overall. 5 stars across the board!”
“Wanda welcomes my pups warmly each time. They really enjoy all the play time including with her super sweet pup. No matter how much energy they come with she always tires them out. She has made them feel comfortable. They anxiously jump out of the car to greet her each time. We are really happy and will continue to use Wanda.”
“Anna was awesome! Our boy stayed with her while we visited the city for two days and had an amazing time with her and her pups! They had your playtime hike river time and I'm pretty sure he smells so good he even got a bath! We were just passing through so sad we won't be able to have him stay with her again”
About: I have a very special connection with all animals and will love and care for your pet as if it were my own! I have a lifetime of experience with cats and a few years of experience with dogs, namely raising and training my own dog from ~2 months old. He’s the sweetest, happiest pup and he is very loved! I work from home and have plenty of time to spend with your pet, whether that’s walking them, playing with them or bringing them to appointments!! I don’t have a fenced in yard but have plenty of space to walk and play with your dog outside (or inside!). I can crate the dog if necessary, and my puppy is extremely friendly and welcoming with new dogs!
“Alison and Jason are kind, reliable, and flexible and our pup clearly looks forward to his stay at their place. We love that they take in other dogs and have a cool backyard for the dogs to play in. You really can’t ask for much more.”
“Leah was so pleasant and so easy to work with. She took great care of my dog who seemed to have a blast with her. We had 2 days of doggie day care and on day 2 my dog was so happy to be back.”
About: As a college student who genuinely loves animals, I bring both enthusiasm and responsibility to every pet I care for. I have experience watching and caring for dogs of different sizes and temperaments, and I’m very comfortable with daily routines like feeding, walking, playtime, and basic grooming. What sets me apart is my patience and attention to each dog’s individual needs—I understand that every pet has their own personality and comfort level. I’m especially attentive to safety and making sure dogs feel comfortable and happy while their owners are away. I can handle energetic dogs who need lots of exercise as well as older dogs who require a gentler approach and extra care. I’m also dependable, communicative, and will keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know your pet is in good hands. As a college student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time to pet care. I’m available most weekdays around my classes and have open availability on weekends. I can accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening visits, and I’m happy to work with your schedule to make sure your pet gets consistent care, attention, and companionship. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. In your home, I will follow all care instructions closely, maintain your pet’s normal routine, and ensure a calm, clean, and secure environment. I’m attentive to details like locked doors, safe walking practices, and keeping harmful items out of reach. I also take time to build trust with each pet so they feel relaxed and cared for while you’re away. I will keep you updated regularly so you feel confident your pet is safe and happy.
“My dog loves to go to Stephen’s for doggie daycare and comes home tired from her day there. I feel comfortable having her there and I will be using Stephen again to watch my pup.”
“I was really nervous I never left Angel with anyone before that I didn’t know or wasn’t family. I really recommend and appreciated the updates from Mario! Thank you again!”
“What can I say? Tara responded quickly and she asked very pertinent questions before we met and that alerted me to how careful she would be about caring for my puppy. He was nervous going in but Tara quickly reassured him and not an hour later she sent me photos that erased my worry. He enjoyed his time there and she had many insights into him when I picked him up. I will use Tara again and recommend her to anyone looking for care in the Newburgh area. She knows a bunch about breeds and how they act and that is comforting.”

“We are so glad we met Stephanie! Upon her arrival, our two 70+ lb pups were bouncy and very excited to meet her. Before even entering the house, she got them to sit and get calm. She shared great photos and didn’t leave the house until she made sure the pups had what they needed to be comfortable for the rest of the day. Our pups can’t wait to see her again!!”
“Rose was great with my senior special-needs dog Porter! Porter absolutely loves her! She walked, played with, fed and administered medication to my dog while I was away. She is very communicative and professional! She really goes above and beyond and you can tell she loves animals and wants to do the best for them! When the family members that were supposed to be watching my dog fell through, she was very quick to respond to make sure Porter had everything he needed. I will definitely be using Rose again!”
About: Through my life, I have been a pet parent for several dogs of different ages. Family, friends, and clients have trusted me with their pets since a young age. Dogs from all ages are welcome including those with dietary and medical needs. I’ve made the decision to leave the banking industry after several years to pursue happiness and focus on my passions. Having a flexible schedule allows me to give your pet the care it needs from potty breaks to overnight stays. I love going for walks and hikes and would love for your pet to attend. As a house sitter, I provide specialized care for each pet, ensuring their happiness and safety at all times. My experience includes administering medication as well, if needed.

“I would definitely recommend Brittany to anyone that needs boarding for their pets. She treated our puppy Storm like she was one of her own. She sent us pictures of Storm having a great time and assured us that she was playing the entire time she was there. When we picked her up she was clearly happy and exhausted. We will definitely be using Brittany again in the future.”
“Posey had a great stay with Gretchen and her dog Sunny! She felt right at home from the first visit and I felt more than comfortable leaving her there. Sunny was super sweet and relaxed with another dog in his home. In the photos we received Posey looked very happy relaxing on the furniture and on walks! Communication with Gretchen was clear and prompt. We will definitely board Posey there again. So happy to have an homey alternative to the kennel!”
“Jeff graciously accepted my desperate last minute request after another Rover sitter left me high and dry and agreed to take care of my dog for a full month with no prior introduction. I have a 4yo GSP with a lot of anxiety, especially when he’s separated from his mama. But my boy Max bonded with him immediately and seemed totally at ease in his new home. Jeff put up with my Velcro dog clinging to him and demanding attention all day long with no complaints. It was such a relief to know that Max was in such good hands while I was away for so long, and I couldn’t be more grateful.”

Thank you for helping us out, Kenniqua!!”

“Terrance was kind and communicative from texting to the day we picked up Moose. We needed a sitter in the area last-minute and, as soon as we met him, knew our girl was in good hands. He answered questions about the space she’d be spending the most time in, encouraged us to bring stuff that would make her feel comfortable, assured her safety, and sent updates with pics. His kind demeanor and professionalism was so reassuring and allowed us a peaceful weekend. 10/10 recommend Terrance and would book his services again!”
