“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! ??”

“I recently had Cherissa watch over my mini Goldendoodle, Sofia, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the very first interaction, she was professional, kind, and clearly passionate about animals. Cherissa and her family took the time to get to know Sofia’s routine, preferences, and any special needs, which made me feel totally at ease. While I was away, she provided regular updates—including photos and messages—which really reassured me that my pet was happy and well cared for. I highly recommend Cherissa and her family to anyone looking for reliable and compassionate pet care. I’ll definitely be booking with them again in the future!”

“David and his wonderful family are the definition of “above and beyond” when watching our pup Eleanor! He took very special care to provide enrichment, exercise, and to make sure all of her needs were met. He kept diligent notes for us, was an excellent communicator, and was clearly so invested in the health and happiness of our pup. He even sent us home with a couple of treats he’d found out she liked! He’s absolutely wonderful and I cannot recommend him enough.”

“Gretchen took excellent care of my dog while I was away. He seemed very happy during his stay. I also received daily photos and updates about how he was doing. I'll definitely use Gretchen's services again.”

“Mildred and her family were incredibly wonderful to Luna and to me! They lived her like their own, and even fell IN love with her! I had lots of pictures from her even showing her lying on of the beds being pet. Luna is anxious and they either with her to warm up, there are two couples in the house and her son and they all take care of the dogs. What a wonderful place to leave your pup.”

“This was my first experience with getting dog sitter for my dog. I was very relaxed and comfortable when I met Brittany and loved the fact that we communicated about my dog and she sent me some pictures on how she was doing. I definitely recommend using Brittany and will use her again 😊”

“Olga was wonderful!! She took such great care of Brutus and sent lots of updates with pictures, which I loved. An especially great sitter if your fur baby needs all-day supervision for any reason!”
“Donna was great. She treated my dog like he was her own. I felt extremely confident that Guinness was being very well taken care of. Guinness came home very happy but tired from all the fun he had playing with Donna's dogs. I will definitely use Donna and her services again. I'm very happy. I found her thank you so much.”

“Jadyn was EXCELLENT with my dog Sam while I went away. She sent me pictures and updates through out the whole stay. I would high recommend her, and will definitely continue to use her for dog sitting services. Thank you so much Jadyn :) we love you 🩷”

“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!”


“We found Annie after running around trying to find a last minute dog sitter/boarder to watch our dogs after they were in our wedding ceremony. Annie and I chatted on the phone before booking. She not only loves dogs but understands dog behavior and put my mind at ease to watch our two sweet pups. Annie was absolutely fantastic and worked with our coordinator to pick up our dogs and did so on time. We only wish we lived in the area, otherwise Annie would be our go-to.”

“Megen took great care of our dog Lotta. She has a fenced in backyard which was great so our dog was outside a lot and played with the other dogs there. Easy to communicate with. Highly recommend!”

“Maryline was my favorite Rover sitter yet, and I've had some great ones! She and her sweet family welcomed Olive with open arms. I got cute pictures and videos from Maryline everyday, and I joked that Olive wasn't going to want to come home. I will definitely call Maryline first next time I need a sitter!”
“This was our second time boarding Billie with Sonia and her family, and we are so glad to have found someone local who takes such good care of Billie! Thank you to Sonia, Brian, and Vivian!”

“You can tell how much Natasha and Hamir really care about dogs and they took such good care of our 6-month poodle puppy Jujuba during our 10-day trip. We were very worried as it was our first time away from our puppy but they did an amazing job treating him as if he was theirs and putting all our worries at ease. Natasha sent us updates everyday with pictures and prioritized Jujuba’s safety. The dog area is separated from the kitchen by gates, so you don’t need to worry about puppy swallowing something that’s not good for them. Natasha and Hamir not only took him on regular walks, but also kept him away from heat when it was too hot outside. Our puppy gets some eye allergy and Natasha cleaned his eyes as I asked. We could see how comfortable and happy Jujuba got with them when we picked him up. We will definitely use them again in future! 🥰🥰”

“My dog had fun playing with the other dogs that were there in the big fenced in yard. Leah was kind and welcoming and she sent me a couple of videos of my dog and some updates while I was away. I appreciate her help!”

“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!!!”

“Maryline was great ! All the cats did so well and it was so nice getting pictures everyday. Even the “scaredy cat” of the group seemed to have eased up to her. I would trust her to watch my cats again anytime.”
“This is the second time Christina has cared for our pet. She responded quickly to a last minute request and gave our kitty some love! Highly recommend her :) Thank you!”


“Henry had a very calm and approachable energy with our cats. He was very punctual, and very thorough. The cats seemed to be in good spirits when we returned from a brief vacation.”

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.

About: I recently fostered a 9 year old baby who was displaced due to her family having to move houses. She had fear aggression, but with enough patience (and treats) she became the most cuddly grandma cat ever. She’s now back with her family after 3 months with me, but now I know I can handle tough cases!

“Jordan was great! She was so attentive to our cat's needs, and sent us plenty of updates and photos so we wouldn't miss him as much! She was very familiar with different needs and very able to adapt her care accordingly. We will definitely book with Jordan again!”


About: I’ve cared for my two 14‑year‑old sister cats their whole lives, including giving daily medication and supporting their senior needs. I’m gentle, patient, and experienced with cats who need extra attention and consistent routines.
“Melony took care of my cat for two days. She went above and beyond what I asked of her. My cat is extremely friendly and loves people. She spent the whole time playing with him and giving him love. She even cleaned up the litter he kicked out of the box which I had told her she didn’t have to do. Melony was wonderful, kind and caring.”


“Maritza was great with our cat, Mushki. She was consistent with showing up and with sending us pictures & short videos of our handsome guy! She did a great job caring for him while we were gone. I highly recommend her and look forward to rebooking her in the near future!”


About: I grew up with cats and understand that they’re all unique. I care very deeply about animals and have a special connection with cats. I have plenty of experience having had 4 cats of my own in my adult life!

“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”


“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.”


About: I’ve been surrounded by cats and dogs since I was a little girl, creating a deep, lifelong connection to animals and nature. Since age 16, I've turned that passion into trusted care for family and clients. Whether taking your dog on an outdoor adventure or maintaining your cat's precise routine, I provide the love and attention they need. My ultimate goal is to let pet parents travel with 100% confidence, knowing their fur babies are safe, happy, and loved.

“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”

“Maryline is very professional and friendly. She watched my new puppy and it was a great experience. The dog was happy and well taken care of. I will definitely use her services again and would strongly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a great dog sitter.”

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.”

“Laurie was great with our pup, who was new to her. The meet and greet was helpful to learn about his behaviors and his likes. His first daycare event went well and he enjoyed the day meeting some new friends.”

“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 🤣”

“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.”

“Stefany was fantastic with Pippin! She was flexible with our drop off time when we were running late. She sent lots of photos of our pup enjoying his time with them and playing with toys! We would definitely use her again in the future!”

“David took excellent care of our two pups! He was very attentive and made sure to ask good questions ahead of time. He communicated frequently with us and kept us updated! We picked up 2 very happy dogs. Would definitely recommend”

“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.”

“Daniela was really wonderful, attentive and patient and flexible. Goguma is still in his puppy phase and got to play with her dog. She checked in several times. I felt like Goguma was in great hands and look forward to future dates with Daniela.”

About: I have grown up and have taken care of dogs and cats my whole life! I also volunteer at a shelter to get more experience with animals! I am usually available round the clock if needed for pet care! My responsibility’s have included waking up early to feed and get water for the animals and walk the dogs! When I need to help with pet care in my home I am available but when I’m working to watch someones pet that is my responsibility
“At first, I struggled with the thought of leaving my grand dog (Zyla is my daughter’s dog), because Zyla really is treated like a family member and Zyla is our everything but Monica was wonderful. Monica sent multiple photos throughout the day which reassured us that Zyla was ok. From the photos I could tell that Zyla was having a blast. Zyla made a new furry friend and two human friends. Monica not only sent me photos but updated me throughout the day on Zyla’s activities which eased my worry as well. I can tell Zyla had the time of her life because she fell fast asleep on her ride home. Monica made Zyla’s first doggy daycare experience wonderful for both Zyla and her owners. I am definitely scheduling more future dates with Monica for both doggie daycare and boarding.”

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.

George enjoyed playing with Nayeli's puppy . Nayeli sent me photos and videos of George throughout the day. I feel very happy to have found Nayeli and I will bringing George back. I highly recommend!”

She is punctual, genuine in her care of her clients pets, and overall good individual. Highly recommend! A top class pet caretaker.”

His communication was outstanding — he consistently provided updates, photos, and detailed feedback after each walk. Despite some initial challenges during the first walk, he remained composed and committed to ensuring my dog’s comfort and safety. My dog responded very well to him, and I was impressed by his dedication and reliability. I would highly recommend his services and will certainly be using them again in the future.”

As the owner of Daisy Pet Spa, I spend my days caring for dogs and making their comfort and well-being my priority. At home, I also have three dogs of my own, so my daily routine naturally revolves around feeding, walks, playtime, grooming, and lots of one-on-one attention. I only take on a manageable number of bookings so every pet receives the time, patience, and personalized attention they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. Whether I’m caring for them in my home or yours, I provide a calm, clean, and low-stress environment where they receive plenty of one-on-one attention. I follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, medications, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and rest.

I treat every pet like one of my own and respect your home by keeping it clean, secure, and exactly as I found it.

About: I have petsit and watched over a multitude of animals my entire adolescence. From dogs to cats to even ferrets, I made sure they were loved and well cared for the whole time ❤️ I am fully available every day of week the during the daytime. On weekends I work part time, however, that will not interfere as I can make sure to care for your pets both before and after my shift! I prefer to keep the animal in the house that they reside in, as it is less stress than changing their entire environment. I will make sure to abide by any house rules and make sure your baby stays safe while you’re away!
“Gretchen was very responsive and able to fulfill my last minute needs. My dog looked very happy on his walk with her and her son, and I would happily ask Gretchen to look after my pupper again. Thank you Gretchen.”

About: I personally have a cat that was initially my daughter’s but I inherited her and have grown to love immensely. I have cared for my daughter’s chameleon and tortoise in her absence on several occasions. I’m a big dog lover!!! They bring me lots of joy. I have had shepherds, Belgian Malinois, mixed breeds, and labs in my life. Currently I continue to have two full grown labs, and a yellow puppy lab in my life through my great friend. I could not imagine life without them. They are the definition of unconditional love. I’m currently working full time, but if needed I can be available in the evening for dog walking. And on the weekends I have availability for dog walking, feeding, or playing. I will care for them as if they were my own with care, compassion, and love. And ensure that they are always safe in my hands.

About: I've taken care of my own dog and cats for over 10 years, as well as others' fur babies. My love for animals makes this a job that I actually enjoy and feel passionate about. Your pets will be safe and happy with me. I am stepping down to part time at my current job so that I can make more time for sitting/walking! My schedule will therefore be much more flexible. Whether your yard is fenced in or not, I will cautiously watch your fur baby and make sure they are safe at all times (doors closed/locked, leashed when walking, etc.)

He was cautious when introducing Buddy to the other dogs in his care and we had a meet and greet prior to the stay which I appreciate, he goes above and beyond to make sure the dogs in his care are compatible to keep all dogs safe. I look forward to using him in the future and I know Buddy will too. You can see that dogs in Stephens care are treated as his own and that is so comforting when leaving your dog in his care.”
