About: I’ve grown up with pets and have experience with special needs animals, seniors and kittens/puppies. I can administer medicine and am very cognizant of a pet’s personality. For example I have a timid cat, a menace cat and a love bug cat. My Siberian husky is more cat than dog too. I can do drop ins or board dogs in my home. I can also stop by for walks. For the board ins I prefer to take in only dogs because I don’t want to stress the kitty crew out, but I’d be available to come do drop ins for the cats. My yard isn’t completely fenced so I’d probably take the doggos to the park at apple grove and for walks around town. I have three friendly cats and my husky also loves dogs.
“I can’t say enough good things about Alexa! She is absolutely wonderful with my dog and you can tell how much she genuinely cares about the animals she looks after. I always feel completely comfortable leaving my dog with her because I know he’s in great hands and being treated like one of her own. She’s caring, attentive, reliable, and someone I truly trust. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a loving and dependable dog boarder!”
“Christina was great with my two chocolate labs. My dogs loved their stay with Christina - they didn't want to get in the car to leave! Christina was very professional and accommodating with our drop off and pick up times. We did a thorough meet and greet with her and her two dogs before our visit and we knew right away that she would take great care of our girls. It takes the worry out of traveling when you are confident that your pets are in good hands. We will definitely be going back :) Thanks Christina!”
“Kat and Will were absolutely wonderful with our small but energetic dog. He had a proper doggy vacay in their gorgeous home. Absolutely no hesitation to recommend them to anyone. Thanks both!”

We have a large, private and clean fenced in backyard where your pup will be able to roam and sniff till their hearts content, with potty breaks every hour or two! IMPORTANT: Pups may be dropped off as early as 8 AM and they must be picked up by 7 PM. We are happy to board an extra /night day if needed to accommodate these business hours.

“Kelly took such great care of my pup, Raleigh. She spent just over a week with Kelly and her dog Oscar. Kelly sent photos and video updates as the week went on. I wouldn't hesitate to book a stay with Kelly, and I know Raleigh can't wait to stay with them again!”
“Laurie could not have been more kind and patient with my weird little dog. She sent thorough updates everyday and takes lots of pics and short videos to put you at ease that your baby is in good hands. The only downside is now I feel like I have to get another dog because she enjoyed her time with Laurie’s dog so much!”
“Angela is wonderful! Sebastian was pampered and loved by her. We thoroughly enjoyed the regular photos that showed how he was spending his time. We will seek out Angela anytime we need to be away.”

“We couldn’t ask for a better cat sitter! Lillie is incredibly communicative and always sends the most thoughtful, funny, and sweet updates — which means so much when you’re away and missing your kitties! She gives them tons of love, playtime, and attention. She’s also really attentive and quick to notice any changes in behavior or eating/drinking habits, which we really appreciate. We always feel completely at ease knowing our cats are in Lillie’s care!”
“Theresa is the best!!!! She is 100% our go-to sitter, incredibly reliable, responsible, and our cat is so at ease with her. She has taken care of our 19 year old 'baby' quite a few times over the last year +, we trust her completely to take care of him as well as we do.”
“Logan was wonderful with our kitties as always. They are pretty shy but he has completely won them over. He’s reliable and helpful and responsive. Highly recommend!”
“Alisa was such a good pet sitter! Trustworthy, kind and absolutely perfect for the job. I couldn’t be happier to find someone not only last minute but also great communication and passion for animals! Thank you Alisa!!”
About: I've taken care of cats since I was a little girl. My girl Meow Meow was my first cat as an adult and she lived a long full life to the age of 18. Mischka is 16 seen in my profile photo, my husband and I also have Ochi who is 1 year now. I love them and they usually love me too, even if it takes a minute or two :) I'm happy to administer medication, I've taken care of kittens as well as seniors with health issues. I have a lot of experiential knowledge and I'm happy to follow any special diet or care specifications.
“This is our second time working with Angela and we couldn’t feel more comfortable and at ease while we’re away! They spend such nice quality time with our kitties, giving them lots of love and attention. I’m still so amazed that our one shy girl, who doesn’t even really come out for my own family, it’s just smitten with Angela! This time around Angela also helped us out by giving our one cat the allergy medication he needed, which all seemed to go smoothly! Thanks again, Angela! Looking forward to working with you again!”
About: I’ve been caring for animals my entire life—whether it’s been my own pets, helping out friends, or rescuing strays in need. Both of my cats were rescued by me, and I’ve always had a natural connection with animals. They’re drawn to me, and I love giving them the same trust and affection they show me. I grew up with big dogs, including two pit bulls and a boxer, so I’m confident and comfortable handling larger breeds. Over the years, I’ve potty trained dogs, taught tricks, and cared for pets with all kinds of temperaments. My experience goes beyond cats and dogs—I’ve also cared for frogs, snakes, turtles, and even had the incredible opportunity to volunteer with elephants in Thailand. My love for animals runs so deep that I’ve been vegan for over a decade. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do—it’s truly part of who I am. What I Offer 🐾 A 100% open and flexible schedule—your pets will always get the time, love, and attention they deserve. 🐾 Experience with animals of all sizes, temperaments, and special needs. 🐾 Patience, playfulness, and genuine compassion for every pet I meet. Whether it’s cuddles, walks, playtime, or extra TLC, I’ll treat your fur babies like they’re my own. I have a completely open and flexible schedule, available any day and time. Since I mostly work from home, I can easily accommodate bookings, cancellations, last-minute changes, and special requests. The only exception is occasional weekend evenings after 5 PM, when I work at The Colony in Woodstock. Other than that, I’m always here for you and your pets! I live in a spacious three-bedroom, 2 story home with a large open yard, perfect for pets to play and explore. Your furry friend will have plenty of room to stretch, run, and enjoy the outdoors while getting all the exercise and fresh air they need to stay happy and healthy.
About: Hi, Everyone! My name is Cara. Thank you for visiting my page. My strong admiration for animals has only grown more with the more animals I meet and as a result, it brings me genuine happiness. It is a rewarding experience to be able to take care of any animal that needs it while their owner is away. Since starting Rover in August 21’, I’ve had 10+ repeat clients and have established great friendships with families/people in the community as a result. I have a M-F teaching position 8am-4pm and summer months off. I am currently a part time Binghamton University graduate student studying for a masters degree in early childhood special education. A little history: I grew up with a miniature schnauzer (Zoie) whom towards the end of her life, needed constant supervision and was administered medicine 3x/ day, grooming/washing daily. I was always there to comfort her until the end of her life and spoiled her beyond belief. Myself and my family provided care to my mini schnauzer for over 12 years. As a child, I never had a dog sitter to send updates, pictures/videos for my sweet Zoie when my family would travel, so I strongly understand the importance of quick and reliable communication/sending updates while you’re away to ease your anxiety. Experience - administering medicine/injections - cats, big dogs, small dogs, senior animals, special needs pets, pigs, cows, chickens. -exercise/run with your pet -hospice/end of life care (Repositioning every hour, hand feeding, massages, cooking packs, frozen bone broth snacks on warmer days, the list goes on) Pets and animals deserve to be spoiled but most importantly, they deserve to be loved. I have a white pitbull fur baby (Minnie). Shes a loyal, sweet and well behaved dog, I’m so lucky and thankful for her every day as she brings me so much happiness. She stays at home with her other best friend, my significant other while I’m away. If you think I’d be a good fit for your fur baby or have any questions or concerns, I’m here to answer them all and hope you will consider me to take care of your pet. I work M-F through a nearby school, being able to provide supervision to animals while I am home. Check my calendar for the most up to date availability, please 😌 House sitting: Provide overnight care, 24/7 care, other responsibilities to care for your home while you are away (watering plants, picking up mail, cleaning, etc.) Always love to send picture and video updates 2-3x/a day of your furry one to ensure you are comfortable and know that your animal is well cared for and happy in my care!

Perfect for high energy dogs - Callicoon
About: As a lifelong animal lover who has always shared my home with pets, I understand how important it is to know your dog is in caring and attentive hands. Your dog will be lovingly cared for and closely supervised on our peaceful 8-acre property, complete with a beautiful creek and plenty of space to explore. We provide lots of toys and treats to keep your dog happy and engaged, and our friendly miniature schnauzer enjoys making new canine friends (after a little welcoming bark or two!). Our free-ranging chickens also add an extra bit of entertainment and curiosity for visiting dogs. You can feel confident that your dog will be safe, comfortable, and well cared for in our cozy home, where they will receive plenty of attention, affection, and fun throughout their stay. I am home full-time after retiring from a 30-year career in corporate IT, which allows me to devote my full attention to caring for dogs providing constant supervision, companionship, and personalized care, ensuring your dog receives the attention, affection, and exercise they deserve. We have a spacious 8-acre property with long, groomed walking paths where dogs can explore and enjoy the outdoors, typically leashed for safety. Our back property is exceptionally private, featuring wide, flat open fields with no immediate neighbors and located well away from the road, providing a peaceful and secure environment. We also have a fenced play area where dogs can safely enjoy off-leash play and exercise. Inside, dogs are treated as part of the family and are welcome throughout our roomy and comfortable home. At night, they can relax and sleep in cozy dog beds located in quiet spare rooms, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and right at home during their stay.
“Emily and Andre are just the best! They take such amazing care of our boy and he comes home tired and happy each time. They always send photos and pick up/drop off is a breeze. Will absolutely keep booking!”
About: I’ve been a proud dog owner since 2013, raising my own pups from just 8 weeks old and learning the ins and outs of dog behavior along the way. For the past three years, I’ve offered dog boarding, caring for dogs of all breeds and personalities. Patience is my strength, and I know how to make every dog feel comfortable, safe, and loved. Here, your dog won’t just have a place to stay — they’ll have 8 acres of open land to run, play, and explore to their heart’s content. Whether your pup loves a good game of fetch, sniffing every corner of the yard, or lounging in the sun, they’ll find their own little slice of paradise here. My goal is to ensure your dog is not only well cared for but truly happy during their stay. I work from home, which means I have plenty of time to spend playing with and caring for your dogs. Since I have dogs and other animals of my own, I rarely travel, so I’m available most of the time to look after your furry family members. We live on open land with no neighbors nearby, so if your dog loves to bark or roam, they’re free to enjoy themselves without worry. I usually keep dogs indoors for comfort and safety, but I also have a giant crate available if you’d like your dog to be crated.
“Laurie was great!! I had a super busy day at work so needed someone to keep him occupied for the day and Laurie & Yoshimi did a fantastic job tuckering Hank out. Laurie was super responsive. Will definitely book again!”
“Connie was wonderful with Stella. She watched her in her home for a full day. I’m confident Stella had the companionship, love and attention she deserved while we were gone. We will definitely use Connie in the future.”
“Christina was an excellent choice when we needed a dog sitter for Cassidy. We were in Pennsylvania to attend a family wake and funeral and went online to search for a dog day care. Christina was very professional when introducing our dog to her dogs - everything went very smoothly. We also received pictures during the day of Cassidy on a walk, eating dinner and laying on her bed relaxing. We knew our dog was in good hands shortly after meeting Christina just by watching her interact with our dog. All in all, having Christina take care of Cassidy was a positive experience for us and helped to make a family funeral easier to deal with, knowing our dog was safe and well taken care of. We would highly recommend anyone who is going through Milford, PA, to use Christina to take care of your dogs. Thanks, Christina for an awesome experience! Sue, Bill and Cassidy from NY”
“Aurora had a lovely retreat in the country with Amber in a beautiful setting with plenty of care and cuddles. I immediately felt comfortable with Aurora spending the day with Amber who is warm, friendly and clearly has a special way with animals. She kept me posted on Aurora’s adventures throughout the day. Hope Aurora has a chance to visit again!”

“Logan was great with my rescue twins! One of them is particularly skittish, he made her feel safe & at ease! The other is particularly reactive, he made him feel comfortable & was able to let his guard down! Highly recommend!!”
About: As recent empty nesters (we lost our senior pup Charlie🐾 in 2024 to old age) we look forward to providing a loving and calm home for your pup to land while you are away. My husband and I work freelance in advertising and I am also a part-time librarian. We have started pet sitting to add back some joy to our quieter days. We enjoy a good couch potato for company while we send emails, but we also would love a companion for our daily walks on our quiet dirt road! We have cozy beds waiting in every room, including the premo spots- in front of the fireplace and access to all the people-couches - so your pup will always be comfortable as they inevitably follow us around the house in your absence. We have experience with managing modified diets as well as administering oral medications, please feel free to share any special needs or rituals your pet may have. Our WFH lifestyle means that we can accommodate any needs your pet may have. If your dog has a specific midday potty break followed by couch time, we can make it happen. Does your dog need a song sung before they will eat their breakfast? No problem. Can they only lay down for bed with a specific plushy and their blanket freshly folded? We've been there. Please let us know about your friend's quirks so that we can do our best to fill in for you while you're away. We have a spacious clean house that your pet will have access to with a variety of dog beds and toys for their stay. Please feel free to provide a crate if your dog prefers, we have room! If sitting in your home we will be mindful of house rules and make sure to maintain consistency for your pet so they feel secure while you're away.
About: I've taken care of dogs, cats, and other pets since I was a little girl. I grew up with cats and dogs (also guinea pigs, birds) and I have a knack for showing them compassionate care and love. They make it easy! I've cared for very young puppies and kittens as well as older animals. I am familiar with medication needs as well as every day care. I'm very detail oriented and take pride in my work! I'd love to help you give the best care possible for your furry family members. I'm an artist and musician so my schedule is flexible! I often need breaks and have time during the day and some nights as well. Nothing better than taking a break to spend time with furry friends, care for them, and brighten their day. I am happy to follow any schedules, needs, or requirements you may have in order to best care for your pet. I am accustomed to pet walking and play, feeding times, rest time, fun times together.
About: Hi! My name is Brooklin, and animals have been a huge part of my life for over 18 years. I have hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, breeds, and personalities. I previously worked with the Charleston Animal Society, where I gained valuable experience caring for animals and understanding their individual needs. My background has given me the skills to provide safe, reliable, and compassionate care for your pets while you're away. I am comfortable administering medications when needed and have experience monitoring pets' health, feeding schedules, water intake, bathroom habits, and overall well-being. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a calm and relaxed environment, I strive to make them feel comfortable, loved, and stress-free. I understand that every pet is unique, and I take the time to learn their routines, preferences, and personalities. My goal is to treat every animal as if they were my own and provide pet parents with peace of mind through dependable care and communication. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! At the moment I have a full time job, but have weekends off. I plan to entail doing this on my weekends and even after work days. This is more then just making it my routine. I adore animal(s). I have a fenced in yard, I as well have a crate. Plenty of opportunities for walking adventures. I enjoy going to the dog park, as well with adventuring outside anywhere with the animal(s). Whatever you set for rules or boundaries I’ll always continue to respect them, and always follow. I enjoy working with animal(s)

“Words will never be enough to express how unbelievably thankful I am to Natisha!! She accepted a contract on VERY SHORT NOTICE!!! She agreed to be there for me and my family with less than 24 hours notice for twice a day walks for my 2 kids (2 dogs). She came same day to meet with us and was sweet, understanding and flexible. It was our first time. It was hard to trust and we were so nervous!! She made it easy with daily check-ins, texts and pictures! We highly recommend and will DEF use her again! THANK YOU NATISHA!!!”
