“We only used Arsenii once so far but will definitely be going back. Oscar has a bit of separation anxiety but Arsenii's place provides a relaxed vibe and Oscar made himself right at home.”
“Craig took excellent of my dog Tucker. Craig’s large fenced in back yard was so thrilling to Tucker that he was very tired after the visit. I will be using Craig again on a regular basis. Thanks so much Craig”
“First off, huge happy thanks to Richard and Karen for saving our holiday travels after our house sitter canceled with barely over a weeks notice. My dog is a nearly 4 year old rescue, 65lb, strong as can be, and full of residual anxiety/stress/fear issues from whatever happened in his first year before. New situations, people, boxes on the counter… you name it, he freaks out (thankfully, he is chill with meeting new dogs). Richard and Karen put my worries to ease right away during our meet and greet. They are professional dog people, to say the least, and have loads of experience with dogs of all sorts, including rescues and foster fails. They also have a home situated next to a huge park (which will be a big joy for our dog if he gets comfortable enough on future trips to want walks). He made fast friends with Richard and Karen’s dog. Oh, and they sent a photo or two most days that he was with them. I am already looking at my calendar this week to set up time for Luke to stay with them again.”
“Natasha and Hamir were wonderful sitters for Lino. They took the time and care to listen to our requests and instructions, and updated us daily on how he was doing, including photos. We could tell he was being cared for and he was really happy. Lino can be human-selective and indifferent to other dogs, and Natasha and Hamir respected that and live in an area where there is a lot of space from both possible triggers. We wouldn’t hesitate to reach out to them again for boarding!”
“Jessica was so amazing!! I felt so confident with my sweet girl Daisy being in her and her daughter’s hands. She got so much love and care. Jessica was so in tune with her needs and incredible at communicating with me. I could tell Daisy was so happy and comfortable. Highly recommend Jessica!”
“Stephanie is super accommodating and it is clear how much she loves animals. Our house burned down and she took my 2 pitbulls on very short notice and kept them for over 2 weeks while we secured a rental. She kept me updated and cared for them as if they were hers. Id recommend her to anyone and everyone if I could!”
“Absolutely Incredible Dog Sitter! We couldn’t be happier with the care our Lia received while we were away. Maxine kept us updated which only confirmed that she was having a great time and was so well taking care off. We can’t thank her enough for providing such loving care. We’ll definitely be booking again in the future!”
“Maddie was wonderful! Took perfect care of Sasha and checked in often about her during her stay. She was also very understanding and accomodating to some unfortunate tummy troubles Sasha had. Would definitely recommend Maddie!”
“Barbara did a great job taking care of our older dog while we were out of town for over a week. She went out of her way to make sure our dog felt comfortable, followed all our food and meds instructions, and was great about keeping us updated.”
About: Hello, My name is Candice. I am a fur Momma to two Dogs. Princess Lola is a 7 year old Chocolate Labrador who is my gentle giant. She enjoys long walks with her dog friends and playing with her human brothers and sisters. Scrappy is a 14 year old Westie/ Bischon Frise mix who enjoys snuggles from his family and his bed. He is blind but navigates and acts like he can see. I did have a third fur baby that crossed the rainbow bridge last year as he lost his fight with cancer. My Brodie was a 13 year old Long Haired Chihuahua/ Papillon mix and in his younger years enjoyed playing nose soccer with his family. In his senior life he enjoyed snuggling up with his brother Scrappy most. My husband Craig and I are raising our 4 children ages 4-11. They have lived their entire lives with dogs. We are a family of dog lovers and cant wait to meet your fur babies. I have experience in caring for dogs ages ranging from puppy to senior. I also have experience administering oral medication. I have been a stay at home mother and homemaker for the past 11 years which allows me to have a very flexible schedule to care for your dog. I offer a variety of services. Outdoor dog walking from little to no incline for older dogs or dogs with walking difficulties to uphill or hiking for more active and energetic dogs. I can provide care in my home with my family or care in your home for play time, feedings, or to give medicine.
About: Hi My name is Stacy, I live in Cortlandt Manor, NY and have been keeping tails wagging and paws prancing for over 23 years in Westchester, NY. I provide pet sitting services in Cortlandt Manor, Peekskill, Mohegan Lake, Croton, Yorktown, Putnum, Montrose Jefferson Valley, and Briarcliff. I can accommodate drop-in visits for dog walks and feedings and love doing drop-in visits for cats to ensure they get enough playtime and attention. I am available for the summer and upcoming holidays for 2026. I am also accepting boarding for small to medium-size dogs. NOTE: I board one pet at a time to ensure they get my 100% attention and love. I am certified in Pet CPR and First Aid. I have experience sitting for large dogs, small dogs, puppies, older dogs and lots of cats. I am also very comfortable giving pills to dogs and some shots for diabetic cats. As an experienced pet sitter, my priority for every pet is to make sure they are safe and totally pampered. I take great pride in sending adorable pictures and notes to clients to ensure they have real time updates to see their pets are happy and comfortable with me. Pet owners can feel relaxed knowing their pet is in great care while they are away. If you would like to set up a free meet and greet, please contact me. I am available for meet and greets during weekdays after 4:00 pm and I am very flexible on weekends. I work remotely now and I am available for boarding during the week and weekends and can do drop in walks and visits both during the week and on weekends I require at least 72hrs notice for boarding. I only take in one pet at a time, so I can ensure they get my full attention and can feel comfortable and pampered in my home. I will walk dogs three times a day if needed and try to keep to their regular routines.
“Communicated well throughout Fenced in backyard that looked like Hattie had a great time running around in Was kindly flexible with our pickup time because we were traveling from far for pickup and we had some uncertainty around traffic”
“Pico had a great stay with Hayden! Communication was so easy, Hayden sent tons of photos, and was very flexible with our pick-up times. Pico was allowed to make himself right at home and we were happy to see him so relaxed and comfortable. We will definitely book with Hayden in the future!”
“Lovely family. They were very kind with our dog. Treated him like theirs and sent us pictures all the time. Making us felling very sure that our little one was fine and happy. We are very glad to find you and will meet again for sure.”
“I will never let anyone else watch my Stormy Girl as long as Lieb & his wife are around. The care they have given my dog along with all the updates made me feel comfortable & now she practically has a second home 😂 Lieb was also super accommodating for me as well in regards to unexpectedly extending our stay multiple times last minute. We have an American Bully and they were knowledgeable about big dogs which was very important to us especially with a bully breed. They are amazing and if you want to relax while your dog is in someone’s care Lieb is who you should go with!”
About: Dogs have always been integral to me and my family, I grew up with unconditional love they provided and provide to this day. I am very skilled and familiar with attentive care, love and fun they require, especially when away from home during boarding. I have a large house, plenty of room to stretch and play and a fenced in yard for sun basking and more play. Currently, I have a cute Boston Terrier girl (Maya), sweet and great with kids and other pets. Board with us! I am free to board and keep my calendar up to date. Prior meet and greet is preferable, (can be a 10 minute stop over) to ensure our pets get along and you feel comfortable leaving your loved companion in my care. Ensuring attentive care for your pet 24-7 and frequent potty breaks if required. Maya will ensure playful company, with cuddle breaks in between. Your pet is equally important as my pet, with full understanding that he/she will miss you a lot! I will make sure that they feel happy and cared for when in our company, with extra attention while you're away.

“I have booked Carmila before, and have always been satisfied. She was very understanding when I needed to modify the schedule, which is appreciated. All in all professional and highly recommended.”
About: Cats have been part of my life for as long as I can remember, so caring for them feels very natural to me. I’m comfortable with all kinds of personalities from affectionate, social cats to shy or the ones who pretend they don’t need you… until they do. I understand cat body language and know when it’s time to interact and when it’s better to give them space. I take a calm, patient approach and let each kitty set the pace when it comes to trust and interaction. I’m experienced with daily routines like feeding, litter box care, playtime, and enrichment, and I always respect a cat’s boundaries, even when those boundaries change five minutes later. I keep a close eye on behavior, appetite, and overall mood, and I’ll let you know right away if anything seems off. I also love sending regular photo and video updates, so you can feel relaxed knowing your cat is comfortable, safe, and being treated like the little boss they are.
“Richard and Karen were great caretakers for our old cat. They showed up on time and shared photos of their visit to let us know he was doing alright while we were away. Definitely will work with them again!”
“It was such a relief to be able to go on vacation and know our cats weren't just being fed, but truly taken care of. Stacy was very communicative and we could tell she made good friends with our cats - they still ask when shes coming back. She came over in advance to get a lay of the land and meet them and learn all their hiding spots. She even took the litter when she left so we wouldn't have to deal with it. Stacy really was wonderful and knowing our cats were being loved by someone with such great experience while we were away was such a gift!”
“Cece is dependable and kind. My cat is 13 years old so I don’t like to leave him but I have a life that includes occasional traveling. I feel he is safe and secure with Cece.”
“Melissa was amazing! Our cat has been really picky with food and Melissa went out of her way to try different options to make sure she ate. When we came home, we honestly think our cat was disappointed it was us and not Melissa, lol. The house was in beautiful shape, and we never once felt nervous about being away from home. THANK YOU!!”
About: My petsitting career has always included cats. As such I have lots of experience working with a wide array of cats from kittens, ferals, extra friendly love bugs, and also special needs kitties. I've been the go to person for several diabetic cats and am trusted by my clients to keep their cats healthy and well. I have lots of medication administration experience with cats and in general tend to be well liked by cats. Even very shy or feral cats tend to warm up to me rather quickly as I am very calm and have good cat handling and trust building techniques I follow to ensure im not seen as a threat and instead a friend. I have a kitty of my own at home named Sesame, you can see him hanging out on my shoulder in my photo. I hope I get to make friends with your cats as well 😊 🐾
“I would give a hundred stars if I could. I’ve never left my cat alone before but Stephanie put me at ease. She is truly a professional, so kind and caring. I will book her every single time.”
About: I have been taking care of pets since I was a child! My love for animals has motivated me to enroll in vet tech school, starting this fall. I specialize in small mammals, such as rabbits and hamsters, and have owned my own. I have also cared for guinea pigs, parakeets, and aquariums. For dogs, I have experience working with both small and large breeds! I regularly look after my neighbor's dog, and love every opportunity I get to spend time with her. For cats, I have primarily done drop in visits, but have experience with administering medicine to shy cats by building trust over time. I currently do not own pets of my own, so I will be able to give your pet my full attention and care! I am currently spending my summer before starting vet tech school working part time, volunteering at local shelters, and shadowing at clinics. I work weekends, but can still do an early morning or evening visit if needed! Your pet's comfort and safety is my number one priority and I will care for them as if they are my own! Communication and trust is important to me, so I will update you regularly on their happiness and health.
“Marta is fantastic! I could tell from the moment I met her that she would be very confident and responsible. We have a very nervous and shy senior cat on prescription food, pill and supplements for kidney disease, and he hid under the bed when she came twice a day and at one point stopped eating. She was very patient and diligent about messaging with me and following instructions for different foods and treats to get him to start eating again. The house looked very neat when we returned. We already booked her for our trip in September!”
About: Alongside dogs I’ve taken care of cats when necessary since I was young. The thing I love about animals is that they all have such unique personalities and cats often have some of the most unique I’ve ever met. I love meeting new cats and look forward to learning more about them.
About: As the current owner of an opinionated and affectionate polydactyl Maine Coon mix, I'm confident in my ability to take on whatever your cat brings. I have earned such accolades as receiving a slow-blink from my roommate's skittish black cat rescue, achieving kitty stillness while treating a friend's cat with a course of ear-antibiotics, and receiving acknowledgement for my ability to manage pet-related stains.
About: Looking for care that goes above and beyond? I make sure to try and provide everything your cat needs, not just food, water, and a clean litter box. I try to tailor care to the individual cat, so whether you have a loner cat who likes his privacy or a social kitty who needs lots of love I will do my best to meet their needs.

“Richard and Karen watched my dog Babs for 2 days while my partner and I were both at work. It was fantastic! They are such loving caretakers and each day Babs was well fed, played out and sleepy when she came back to me! Will definitely use them in the future whenever we need someone to watch Babs!”
“Travis and Roberta were critical in helping us get our dog settled the first week we had him! They were so kind and patient with him. He loved going over to their house when we couldn’t be home! Their dog was older than ours and was also patient and gentle with him, so it was great socialization for our pup! We will definitely be booking with them again in the future!”
“Brenda is great! She sent me pictures throughout the day and took great care of Bernice. I booked Bernice for an overnight stay in a week, and today was a test run to get Bernice acquainted with Brenda.”
About: My Husband and I cared for dogs of all breeds and personalities for over 5 years, from energetic Jack Russells to gentle Siberian Huskies and playful Golden Doodles. My experience spans everything from puppy training to senior dog care, and I specialize in creating a calm, fun, and safe environment especially in my fully fenced backyard, where dogs love to run and play. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me time and again to love their pets like my own. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just some belly rubs, I’m here to make tails wag and pet parents feel at ease. We have open availability and can provide care that fits your schedule whether it’s daytime walks, overnight stays, or weekend boarding. I work from home part-time, so your dog will never be left alone for long. They’ll get plenty of attention, playtime, and snuggles throughout the day. Your dog will feel right at home in my secure, fenced yard with plenty of room to play. I have two well-behaved dogs who are great with guests, and I’m happy to crate your pup if needed. I create a calm, structured environment that adapts to your dog’s personality whether they’re high-energy or a little shy.
About: Hi! My name is Anjané, and I have 4 years of professional pet care experience through pet sitting, dog walking, drop-in visits, boarding, and house sitting. I have experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, including puppies, senior pets, and high-energy dogs. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I always take the time to learn their routine, preferences, and personality to help them feel comfortable and safe while you're away. As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to have someone trustworthy caring for your pets. I provide regular updates, photos, and communication throughout every booking so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is receiving excellent care. My goal is to treat every pet like family and provide a safe, loving, and reliable experience for both pets and their owners. Pet care is my primary focus, and I build my schedule around the pets in my care. I provide consistent feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, enrichment, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I am committed to keeping pet parents updated with photos and messages so they can feel confident their pets are safe and happy while they are away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow each pet’s routine, feeding instructions, medication schedules, and any special care requirements. My home is clean, pet-friendly, and smoke-free. For house sitting and drop-in visits, I treat every client’s home with the same respect and care I would expect for my own. I provide regular updates and photos throughout each stay.
About: I have taken care of dogs for over 5 years now. Will take care of your dog as if it was my own with plenty of play time and wakies. Currently working from home. So will have time to take care of your pup and fulfill his needs. Boarding or day care will be have to be schedule. I live in a safe neighborhood with plenty of space to walk your dog.

“We couldn’t be happier with the care Maple received from Nahomi! We needed to board our puppy for the full day, and Nahomi instantly made her feel so comfortable and happy that the goodbye was completely joyful. Nahomi was meticulous about her feeding, walks, and updating us throughout the day. We would happily use her again and would highly recommend her to anyone.”
About: I’ve been so lucky to have had multiple dogs to care for over the years, caring for them from the puppy stage through their senior years. I met my husband a few years ago because of the dogs I’d rescued as he is a veterinary doctor with over a decade of experience. Together, we have rehabilitated multiple dogs and found good homes for them. We are animal lovers and have our own fur baby, but there is always plenty of love to go around for these angels on earth. 🩷 I am home everyday and available to provide quality care for your fur babies. I have an 8-year old terrier who is very friendly and loves dog friends. I walk him everyday for at least 30 minutes in the park behind our house, and I would be happy to walk your dog with him. Walking is a great physical and mental workout for dogs! However, I understand that each dog has its own lifestyle and I am happy to cater to it in accordance with your instructions. My backyard is not fenced in, but my parents’ house is 4 minutes away and I use their big fenced-in yard to let my dog run freely and play fetch, as well as to play with his pup friends. If you authorize it, I could use the space for your pup too, otherwise, on-leash walks in the park are great!
About: I grew up in a dog‑loving home and had the privilege of caring for several breeds over the years — first a Boxer, then a Siberian Husky, later a German Shepherd/Malamute mix, and eventually a Pomeranian. Being around such different personalities taught me how to understand dogs of all sizes and temperaments. Because of that experience, family, neighbors, and friends have always trusted me to check in on their pets, feed them, play with them, and make sure they feel safe and cared for. No one will be assisting me with care. I also accept rabbits and small pets for boarding. Owners must provide cage, food, and supplies. Because I work from home, I’m able to give your dog consistent attention and care all day long. Whether it’s playtime, potty breaks, or just keeping them company, I’m always close by. I also offer 24/7 boarding availability, ensuring your pet has a safe, supervised environment at all times. Your dog will have plenty of room to feel at home here. I live on an acre of land with a dog run and a peaceful neighborhood that’s ideal for daily walks. There’s even a small pond with geese right across the street, which many dogs find entertaining. Inside, the living room is designated as comfortable, pet‑friendly space where your dog can relax. I also provide a crate for dogs who prefer a cozy, enclosed sleeping area.
About: I have extensive experience caring for animals because I truly love them. In my home country, the Dominican Republic, I cared for three Yorkshire dogs, a cat, four cockatoos, and a horse. I have also rescued abandoned animals, supported their recovery, and placed them in responsible adoptive homes. I am patient, reliable, and very attentive to each pet's individual needs. Pet care is my full-time job, so it is my main daily focus. I provide in-home care and am available throughout the day to offer constant attention, supervision, walks, timely feedings, playtime, and companionship. I carefully follow each pet's routine and individual needs to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and at home. When caring for pets in my home, I always prioritize their safety, comfort, and well-being. My home is a calm, clean, and pet-safe environment. I make sure to remove any potential hazards and keep doors and areas secure at all times. I carefully follow the owner’s instructions, including feeding, walks, medication, and specific routines. I provide constant supervision, loving attention, and a comfortable space where pets feel relaxed and at home.
“Alexis took excellent care of River Rose during her two-day stay. From the moment River was dropped off, I felt confident she was in great hands. Alexis sent daily photos, videos, and updates, which meant so much to me as a very overprotective dog mom. River Rose is incredibly special to me, and Alexis made me feel completely at ease the entire time. It was clear that she genuinely cared for River and treated her as if she were her own pet. The love, attention, and care she provided exceeded my expectations. I can't recommend Alexis enough and will absolutely be booking with her again in the future. I'd also be happy to serve as a reference for anyone considering her services. Thank you, Alexis, for taking such wonderful care of River Rose!”
About: Looking for more than just a quick walk or a busy kennel? I provide personalized, one-on-one care tailored to your dog's personality, age, and energy level. Whether your dog enjoys a neighborhood walk, a wooded trail hike, a sniff walk, puzzle games, fetch, or simply relaxing with companionship, my goal is to make every visit enjoyable, enriching, and stress-free. I have over 14 years of hands-on experience with dogs, including supervising groups of up to 30 dogs in a professional dog daycare and caring for puppy groups under 4 months old. For more than five years, I also organized dog hikes throughout Westchester County, NY, and Fairfield County, CT, giving dogs a safe, structured, and fun way to exercise and explore. My experience is strongest with Golden Retrievers, Labrador Retrievers, Doodles, Cavaliers, and other friendly companion breeds that thrive with individualized attention, exercise, enrichment, and companionship. While I welcome many different breeds, I always schedule a meet-and-greet first to make sure we're the right fit for each other. My own Golden Retriever, Kobi, was my best friend and adventure partner for over 12 years. Together we explored hiking trails, beaches, kayaking trips, road trips from Maine to Florida, and countless daily walks. He taught me that every dog is an individual with unique needs, and that is exactly how I care for every dog I meet. I believe many dogs are happier with personalized care than large-group environments. Over the years, I have learned to read canine body language, recognize stress signals, manage different personalities, and create a calm environment where dogs feel safe and comfortable. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, oral medications, and dogs that simply need extra patience and attention. My home has a fenced yard for supervised outdoor time and is just a five-minute walk from beautiful wooded trails. I intentionally keep boarding and daycare small by accepting only one guest dog at a time, or two dogs from the same family, so every dog receives plenty of supervision, affection, exercise, and individual attention. I also have a playpen available for puppies and young dogs who benefit from structured rest time. My apartment is on the second floor, so dogs should be be comfortable using stairs. While living in England, I helped care for a Golden Retriever, and later in Spain, I cared for a Yorkshire Terrier. These experiences, together with years of owning dogs, leading dog hikes, and working professionally in dog daycare, have given me experience with many different breeds, personalities, and energy levels. My approach combines practical experience with a calm, patient mindset. I am certified in Reiki and Emotion Code energy work and believe dogs thrive when they feel safe, understood, and respected. While every visit focuses first on your dog's physical needs, I also pay close attention to their emotional well-being. Services I offer: • Dog walking • Adventure walks and hikes (up to 2 hours) • 30-60 minute drop-in visits • Puppy visits and enrichment activities • Limited home daycare • Limited boarding for approved dogs For everyone's safety and comfort, I require a meet-and-greet before accepting new clients. I look forward to meeting you and giving your dog the same love, attention, and care that I gave my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I am self-employed as a bookkeeper and real estate agent, which allows me to work primarily from home and maintain a flexible schedule. While I occasionally leave the house for appointments, errands, or property showings, I am able to plan my schedule around the needs of the pets in my care. This flexibility allows me to provide frequent potty breaks, exercise, playtime, companionship, and close supervision for dogs staying in my home. I provide a safe, calm, and personalized environment with plenty of individual attention. My home has a fenced yard for supervised outdoor time, and I live just a 5-minute walk from wooded trails for walks and adventures. Dogs have access to a comfortable sofa, toys, and puzzle games for enrichment and mental stimulation. I live in a second-floor apartment, so dogs should be comfortable using stairs. I only accept 1 dogs at a time or 2 from the same family to ensure each dog receives plenty of supervision, exercise, and companionship.

She loved running around with Chloe’s two sweet puppies who are so friendly and playful! Chloe sent me several updates, pictures and videos throughout the day. I could tell she made a special effort to help Hazel feel comfortable in her new environment for the day. Highly recommended, will be calling Chloe again for doggy daycare soon!”

“Chris is a friendly and reliable dog walker! He is very communicative, and cares very much about Bonnie. He sent Rover cards and plenty of pictures of my big baby.”
About: I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities from calm, easygoing pups to nervous or strong dogs that sometimes think they’re training me on the leash. I stay calm in challenging situations and handle them safely without adding stress. I always follow owners’ instructions closely and keep routines consistent, but I’m also comfortable making quick, responsible decisions if something unexpected comes up. I’ve helped with medications, senior pets, and special diets when needed. I’m patient, attentive, and very observant with animals. I pay attention to changes in behavior, mood, and energy, and I always keep owners updated with photos and videos so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine, as I spend most of my time at home and can give pets consistent attention throughout the day. I’m available any day of the week, including weekends, and I’m always home overnight, which makes me a great fit for boarding and extended stays. My flexible schedule allows me to adapt to each pet’s routine and provide a calm, home-like environment where pets feel safe and well cared for. Safety and comfort are my top priorities. Pets in my home are supervised most of the time and cared for in a calm, structured environment. If needed, I can separate pets or use a crate provided by the owner to ensure everyone feels safe. During walks, I always use the owner’s equipment and follow their preferences closely. Walks are kept calm and controlled, and I avoid crowded areas. Pets are never off-leash unless explicitly approved. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I strictly follow house rules and handle keys or access responsibly. I communicate promptly about any concerns and will contact a veterinarian immediately in urgent situations.
“Samantha was absolutely fantastic with our high-energy puppy, even on a rainy day!! She went above and beyond to take care of our dog, and our dog absolutely loved her as well! I would highly recommend!”
“I totally lucked out finding Griffin through Rover. He was friendly, communicative, and quickly got to know my dog, Poppy's, personality and needs. I felt very secure having him take her out for walks while I was working. He was safety minded; thinking about the right place to walk with her, using a harness, and being mindful of ticks. I think Poppy loved her time with him and I wouldn't hesitate to use him again.”

I work weekends, but can still do an early morning or evening visit if needed! Your pet's comfort and safety is my number one priority and I will care for them as if they are my own! Communication and trust is important to me, so I will update you regularly on their happiness and health.
About: I've owned and cared for animals my whole life, from cats and dogs to snakes and chinchillas. My fur babies are everything to me - I even have them forever tatted on me! My current English bulldog, Stella, is half-blind and all crazy. She is a protector and lover of my two girls, who have known and grown up with animals their whole lives. While a sweetheart, she remains separate from my boarded friends. I have experience caring for senior animals, shy and timid babies with, and large breed guardian dogs. I also enjoy volunteering at two of our local animal shelters and am raising a future veterinarian. I believe animals are the purest form of love and require nothing less in return. Whether my own or yours, you can trust that I'll care for them all the same ♥️ I'm available most days of the week and weekends. Pet care and motherhood are my full-time roles, and my daughter may often accompany me on my walks. My home has large yard and a separate family area where my boarded friends can have their own quiet, private space to hang out with me: hang on the couch, watch TV, or play outside. I have a large crate if needed and plenty of space.
About: As a mature and caring pet lover, I have had animals in my life for as long as I can remember. Years ago, I worked as an assistant at a veterinary hospital, giving me valuable experience in pet care and handling. Also, I have 30 years experience as a medical massage therapist, and I will gladly massage your babies to help with stiffness or for just the pure enjoyment of it. Your furry friend will be treated like my own with love, patience, and attention to their needs. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just some good belly rubs, I’m here to make sure they feel safe and happy while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your pet! I am retired and am very open to most days and weekends for attending to your pets needs. I can pretty much head out at a moment’s notice. Since I have two cats of my own, I could not bring any animals into my house. My cats are lap cats and always sit where I sit. They so enjoy being massaged and loved on. Looking forward to caring for your pets the same way at your home.

About: Looking for more than just a quick walk or a busy kennel? I provide personalized, one-on-one care tailored to your dog's personality, age, and energy level. Whether your dog enjoys a neighborhood walk, a wooded trail hike, a sniff walk, puzzle games, fetch, or simply relaxing with companionship, my goal is to make every visit enjoyable, enriching, and stress-free. I have over 14 years of hands-on experience with dogs, including supervising groups of up to 30 dogs in a professional dog daycare and caring for puppy groups under 4 months old. For more than five years, I also organized dog hikes throughout Westchester County, NY, and Fairfield County, CT, giving dogs a safe, structured, and fun way to exercise and explore. My experience is strongest with Golden Retrievers, Labrador Retrievers, Doodles, Cavaliers, and other friendly companion breeds that thrive with individualized attention, exercise, enrichment, and companionship. While I welcome many different breeds, I always schedule a meet-and-greet first to make sure we're the right fit for each other. My own Golden Retriever, Kobi, was my best friend and adventure partner for over 12 years. Together we explored hiking trails, beaches, kayaking trips, road trips from Maine to Florida, and countless daily walks. He taught me that every dog is an individual with unique needs, and that is exactly how I care for every dog I meet. I believe many dogs are happier with personalized care than large-group environments. Over the years, I have learned to read canine body language, recognize stress signals, manage different personalities, and create a calm environment where dogs feel safe and comfortable. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, oral medications, and dogs that simply need extra patience and attention. My home has a fenced yard for supervised outdoor time and is just a five-minute walk from beautiful wooded trails. I intentionally keep boarding and daycare small by accepting only one guest dog at a time, or two dogs from the same family, so every dog receives plenty of supervision, affection, exercise, and individual attention. I also have a playpen available for puppies and young dogs who benefit from structured rest time. My apartment is on the second floor, so dogs should be be comfortable using stairs. While living in England, I helped care for a Golden Retriever, and later in Spain, I cared for a Yorkshire Terrier. These experiences, together with years of owning dogs, leading dog hikes, and working professionally in dog daycare, have given me experience with many different breeds, personalities, and energy levels. My approach combines practical experience with a calm, patient mindset. I am certified in Reiki and Emotion Code energy work and believe dogs thrive when they feel safe, understood, and respected. While every visit focuses first on your dog's physical needs, I also pay close attention to their emotional well-being. Services I offer: • Dog walking • Adventure walks and hikes (up to 2 hours) • 30-60 minute drop-in visits • Puppy visits and enrichment activities • Limited home daycare • Limited boarding for approved dogs For everyone's safety and comfort, I require a meet-and-greet before accepting new clients. I look forward to meeting you and giving your dog the same love, attention, and care that I gave my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I am self-employed as a bookkeeper and real estate agent, which allows me to work primarily from home and maintain a flexible schedule. While I occasionally leave the house for appointments, errands, or property showings, I am able to plan my schedule around the needs of the pets in my care. This flexibility allows me to provide frequent potty breaks, exercise, playtime, companionship, and close supervision for dogs staying in my home. I provide a safe, calm, and personalized environment with plenty of individual attention. My home has a fenced yard for supervised outdoor time, and I live just a 5-minute walk from wooded trails for walks and adventures. Dogs have access to a comfortable sofa, toys, and puzzle games for enrichment and mental stimulation. I live in a second-floor apartment, so dogs should be comfortable using stairs. I only accept 1 dogs at a time or 2 from the same family to ensure each dog receives plenty of supervision, exercise, and companionship.
“Candice was so communicative and made me feel at ease before she even arrived at the house. This was my first time using Rover and first time having someone walk Mocha without a previous introduction. It was so nice to know that Mocha was in good hands and Candice went above and beyond in making sure she got a good walk in and had time to pee/poop. I'm so appreciative of Candice and would recommend her to anyone!”

“We only used Arsenii once so far but will definitely be going back. Oscar has a bit of separation anxiety but Arsenii's place provides a relaxed vibe and Oscar made himself right at home.”
“First off, huge happy thanks to Richard and Karen for saving our holiday travels after our house sitter canceled with barely over a weeks notice. My dog is a nearly 4 year old rescue, 65lb, strong as can be, and full of residual anxiety/stress/fear issues from whatever happened in his first year before. New situations, people, boxes on the counter… you name it, he freaks out (thankfully, he is chill with meeting new dogs). Richard and Karen put my worries to ease right away during our meet and greet. They are professional dog people, to say the least, and have loads of experience with dogs of all sorts, including rescues and foster fails. They also have a home situated next to a huge park (which will be a big joy for our dog if he gets comfortable enough on future trips to want walks). He made fast friends with Richard and Karen’s dog. Oh, and they sent a photo or two most days that he was with them. I am already looking at my calendar this week to set up time for Luke to stay with them again.”
“Natasha and Hamir were wonderful sitters for Lino. They took the time and care to listen to our requests and instructions, and updated us daily on how he was doing, including photos. We could tell he was being cared for and he was really happy. Lino can be human-selective and indifferent to other dogs, and Natasha and Hamir respected that and live in an area where there is a lot of space from both possible triggers. We wouldn’t hesitate to reach out to them again for boarding!”
“Jessica was so amazing!! I felt so confident with my sweet girl Daisy being in her and her daughter’s hands. She got so much love and care. Jessica was so in tune with her needs and incredible at communicating with me. I could tell Daisy was so happy and comfortable. Highly recommend Jessica!”
“Stephanie is super accommodating and it is clear how much she loves animals. Our house burned down and she took my 2 pitbulls on very short notice and kept them for over 2 weeks while we secured a rental. She kept me updated and cared for them as if they were hers. Id recommend her to anyone and everyone if I could!”
“Maddie was wonderful! Took perfect care of Sasha and checked in often about her during her stay. She was also very understanding and accomodating to some unfortunate tummy troubles Sasha had. Would definitely recommend Maddie!”
“Barbara did a great job taking care of our older dog while we were out of town for over a week. She went out of her way to make sure our dog felt comfortable, followed all our food and meds instructions, and was great about keeping us updated.”
“Communicated well throughout Fenced in backyard that looked like Hattie had a great time running around in Was kindly flexible with our pickup time because we were traveling from far for pickup and we had some uncertainty around traffic”
“Pico had a great stay with Hayden! Communication was so easy, Hayden sent tons of photos, and was very flexible with our pick-up times. Pico was allowed to make himself right at home and we were happy to see him so relaxed and comfortable. We will definitely book with Hayden in the future!”
“I will never let anyone else watch my Stormy Girl as long as Lieb & his wife are around. The care they have given my dog along with all the updates made me feel comfortable & now she practically has a second home 😂 Lieb was also super accommodating for me as well in regards to unexpectedly extending our stay multiple times last minute. We have an American Bully and they were knowledgeable about big dogs which was very important to us especially with a bully breed. They are amazing and if you want to relax while your dog is in someone’s care Lieb is who you should go with!”

“Sridevi and her husband were great! Took great care of our lab, including providing cooked meal as per his schedule. Very easy communication and timely updates, with lots of pictures and videos that kept us up to date on his whereabouts. I would gladly refer her and use services again as needed.”
About: I grew up in a dog‑loving home and had the privilege of caring for several breeds over the years — first a Boxer, then a Siberian Husky, later a German Shepherd/Malamute mix, and eventually a Pomeranian. Being around such different personalities taught me how to understand dogs of all sizes and temperaments. Because of that experience, family, neighbors, and friends have always trusted me to check in on their pets, feed them, play with them, and make sure they feel safe and cared for. No one will be assisting me with care. I also accept rabbits and small pets for boarding. Owners must provide cage, food, and supplies. Because I work from home, I’m able to give your dog consistent attention and care all day long. Whether it’s playtime, potty breaks, or just keeping them company, I’m always close by. I also offer 24/7 boarding availability, ensuring your pet has a safe, supervised environment at all times. Your dog will have plenty of room to feel at home here. I live on an acre of land with a dog run and a peaceful neighborhood that’s ideal for daily walks. There’s even a small pond with geese right across the street, which many dogs find entertaining. Inside, the living room is designated as comfortable, pet‑friendly space where your dog can relax. I also provide a crate for dogs who prefer a cozy, enclosed sleeping area.
“Sara and her home were the perfect fit for our anxious dog, Mazie. Sara is very knowledgeable about dogs, their behaviors, and how to handle them. She successfully gave Mazie medication 3 times a day and prepared special meals for her. We received photos via text while we were away showing how happy and acclimated Mazie was there. We have already booked another stay with Sara. Thank you Sara!!!”
“As a pet sitter myself, I am quite picky about who I let care for my beloved pup. Crystal not only accommodated our last minute boarding request, but also welcomed us inside to make sure our dog felt comfortable and to answer our questions. She also provided daily updates and photos showing how content my dog was in her care. If we were local, we would 100% be regulars - that's how wonderful Crystal is! She exceeded expectations and has set a high bar for any future sitters. I cannot recommend her enough!”
“My husband and i are so happy that we found Andrea, she loved and cared for Bronson like her own, her home was so warm, free and welcoming to our dog. It was Bronson’s first time staying with a sitter and we couldn’t be happier with the results. Andrea took him to the park and walked him daily, she also updated me on a consistent basis providing peace for me while on vacation. Her son and bronson were very good buddies, I would definitely recommend her home for your pet.”
