âDew is a great communicator and a pleasure to work with. She clearly cares about the dogs in her care. Juno had a great time and we have already booked another overnight.â


âOur dog had a great time with Farva! She has a wonderful fenced backyard so our dog could play with other dogs. She sent us updates throughout the stay, and was very kind and responsive.â

âWe were so lucky to find Lily! Their family was absolutely gracious and Mio had a blast! Lily provided plenty of photos and we felt confident leaving him in good hands. We will 100% book again! Thank you Lily!â
âDaisy gets wonderful care when she stays with Andrea. Her yard is great for outdoor playtime, and the daily communication and pictures help us to enjoy a worry-free time away!â


âI was caught in a bind as I was moving and my current place had to cancel due to the weather. This is my first time using Rover and I needed to find someone to watch my pup. River is a bit reserved and can be very nervous. Pam is a life saver. She sent pictures throughout her visit and I was completely at ease during a very stressful move. I will definitely recommend Pam and will reach out to her again whenever I need a sitter for my girl. Thanks a million. You are the best!!!â

âRyan EXCEEDED my expectations! He has an intuitive way with dogs. He is very knowledgable about dogs & dog behavior. Ryan is the real deal-- a true animal lover & kind, decent human being. He communicated well with pics and updates during my dog's visit. During our initial meeting I felt an instant rapport he had with my dog that put me at ease. His home is VERY dog-centric! The visiting dogs are not confined and are free to mingle and find their own place to relax. There are ample dog beds, couches, human beds and floor space for lounging and sleeping. I especially appreciate that Ryan limits the number of dogs he boards at one time to a very small group, & makes sure they vibe well together beforehand. The living space Ryan and his boarders occupy is all on one level, which is great for my dog with arthritis. There is a wooded trail for walks adjoining the yard, and a guest bedroom if a dog needs some quiet alone time. I would HIGHLY recommend Ryan and I plan to use him again!â

âSonia and family were great with our Brisket! He had a blast on his vacation, they shared updates, and he made new friends. Very easy to deal with and addressing of his parentsâ questions. Would book again.â

âJessica and her husband were clearly so patient and understanding about sitting for a senior dog. Salto came back happy and excited! They sent regular photos and updates. I would absolutely have Salto stay with them again if we are in the area.â
âHazard took great care of my dog. She sent consistent photos and videos, and even sent 2 pet reports! Willa was happy and in great shape when I picked her up. I would definitely use Hazard again!â

âRobin took great care of our dog. She sent updates throughout the day and when we picked him up, I could tell he was very relaxed and happy and enjoyed his time with her and her family. We will definitely use her again for our dog!â

âWe couldnât have asked for a better dog sitter! Even with all the rain that week, Jomini and her family took wonderful care of our Bella, and made sure she was happy and well cared for. She also sent us pictures throughout the week, which meant so much because we missed Bella so much. We had complete peace of mind knowing Bella was in such caring hands. Thank you for taking such great care of our girl!â

âJoy was so responsive and caring from the first time she met us and Izzy our dog. we really appreciated her competency and care. I felt very secure leaving Izzy in Joyâs care.â

âAmazing caregiving to our two babies (Tiger and Georgia) by Laura and her family! We left them with Laura for about 2 weeks. We loved it! We will recommend them to anyone. -Navarun and Michaelâ

âOnce again Nicole took good care of Lulu while we were away, Lulu is always looking forward to stay with Nicole and her three dogs, itâs her vacation too away from home. She plays a lot and had a great time. Thanks again Nicole!â

âRachael did an awesome job watching our dog Daphne for 2 weeks while we were away for the holidays! She did activities with the dogs every day including taking them on hikes, playing with toys, and running on her huge farm. I never worried about Daphne the whole time we were gone because Rachael took great care of her and sent photos and videos of her everyday to keep us updated! Rachael is the best!â

âRich was a lifesaver! We needed last-minute help watching Honey, and he responded quickly and made sure we got to do a meet-and-greet. Heâs got a great doggy daycare/boarding going from his house with plenty of room in the backyard for the pups to have fun! Rich was a gem in being around all the time for the dogs, being available, and sharing updates. I recommend Rich and his services, even if you are looking more for doggy day care- he is where itâs at!â

âNandita is a great sitter & we were lucky to connect with her. She has a great fenced in yard & and adorable dog that I was pleased my dog could play with. She was great with communication & we had a great experience.â

âI couldnât be happier with the amazing care Gabriella provided for my feline companion, Chinnu! đžâ¤ď¸ Chinnu is our sweet grey tabby girl, and knowing she was in such loving and capable hands gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. Gabriella was incredibly caring, attentive, gentle, and patient with Chinnu. It was obvious that she genuinely loves animals and treated Chinnu with the same warmth and affection she would give her own pet. She made sure Chinnu was comfortable, happy, and well cared for, and her thoughtful updates were so reassuring. Iâm truly grateful for the love and attention she gave our little girl. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and genuinely wonderful with cats. We will definitely be asking her to take care of Chinnu again! â¤ď¸đąâ


About: Hello! Iâve grew up surrounded by cats for most of my life. Iâve had lots of experience changing litter boxes, administering meds, and giving cuddles and scratches! Cats have some really unique personalities that set them apart and I would love to meet yours!

About: I love cats! In combination with having worked directly with local animal rescues and with 10 years of pet sitting and being a devoted cat parent/litter servant to two of my own, I understand kitty-cat behavior, health, and comfort on a specialized level. I have hands-on experience administering most medications, sanitizing living spaces, managing specialized diets, as well as trimming nails/grooming.

âAnother great experience!!! Jean always leaves my home so nice and my pets happy đ. I was gone for quite a while this time (honeymoon), and I came home to two very happy cats, my mail inside, and plenty of food/water. I always feel so secure when I know sheâs coming around and can actually relax and rest assured theyâre in good hands :). No one else I would book with and look forward to having Jean around again!!! âĽď¸ as always, thank you!! âşď¸â


âMia is lovely and personable. She has much experience with cats, dogs, raising chickens, etc.! She dropped in to feed and play with our cat, Seamus. He was relaxed when we returned home from our trip. Mia left Seamus's accoutrement clean and very organized! We've already booked her for another drop-in week this summer. :)â

About: As the owner of three dogs, I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pets. Iâm reliable, patient, and will care for your dog like one of my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while youâre away. I currently work at a hospital 3 days a week so Iâm available . Iâm also an empty nester so I have time in my schedule . I follow each petâs routine, provide fresh food and water, daily walks, playtime, lots of attention, and ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. ..
âLorre & Antonio are superstars! They were so great with our cats and so thorough. Very communicative and sent so many drop-in pictures 2x daily. They were able to administer insulin injections to my diabetic cat which is a huge plus. They really kept on top of everything and the apartment was just how we left it (our Vicky is a messy eater who hairballs). They took the time to play and brush Louis & Victoria as well. I very highly recommend Lorre & Antonio. We will be booking them again for our future trips. Thanks so much again!â

âLanie saved us at the last minute when our usual sitter wasnât available. She went above and beyond to communicate updates, accommodate special requests, and more. Thank you for the excellent care, Lanie!â

About: Animals bring joy to our world, and specifically to my world! I am happy and honored to care for your loved ones! With 15 years of experience caring for Dogs, Cats (and Bears oh my), Fish, Turtles, I have time-tested experience with success, and increasing enjoyability! I have a calm demeanor which has been in part inspired folks to call me a "dog whisperer." I will have an immediate, positive impact on your loved ones life, and want to be of service to our sacred pet community! I'm a recent Law graduate, looking for the next chapter of my adventure; and in the meantime I'd be honored to spend time taking the best care of your pet(s)! I believe all animals deserve compassion, attention, and a reliable food schedule/walks outside! I'll adhere to YOUR specific requests, I am here to serve YOU!

âJohn has been great with Toby. Heâs reliable, pays close attention to the details, and takes good care of him during drop-in visits for feeding and potty breaks. Toby is always happy to see him. I feel very comfortable having John care for him and would definitely recommend him.â

âWe feel very fortunate to have found Kimberly to look after our daughterâs cat while we were away visiting family during Christmas week. Kimberly did a drop in visit at our house each day, and sent daily pics to our daughter - which she really appreciated. The cat got to stay at home, we had daily contact and peace of mind, and at a much lower cost than a kennel or cat hotel. A real win-win. Thanks so much, Kimberly !â


âKayla is warm, responsible, and reliable. She took care of our dogs with love and attention. :) When we got back, the dogs were happy, and it seemed that they hardly knew we were gone!! We will be relying on Kayla for all of our future pet needs. :)â

About: I have had dogs, cats, puppies in my life since I was born. I have had the pleasure of training all types of dogs in many different areas. When I was younger my family used to always take trips up to Marthas Vineyard, we always had to leave our dogs at a kennel which we realized later on was not the best thing to do for our dogs. Emotionally/mentally we could tell it had taken a toll on them, so we started leaving them home with Pet Sitters. That was the best decision we had made. I want to be able to provide the same love and care that our pet sitters have provided in the past, but for your pet! Im currently working privately as a Personal Trainer and a Hypnotherapist Practitioner so my schedule is quite flexible. I also offer Reiki for both people and pets (Dogs, Cats, Horses)!!! I donât typically board pets but would be willing to work with someone if the situation was right. I am also willing and able to crate your pet if thats something you do in your home!

âDew goes above and beyond for my puppy. Checks in regularly when he is in her care and even checks in when he is at home. As a first time user of a dog-sitter, I was anxious about leaving my puppy in someone elseâs care. Dew almost immediately alleviated my concerns. I feel like her care has been a major benefit for me and for my puppyâs social development. Will continue to take advantage of Dewâs services for the foreseeable future. Highly recommended!â

âWe were very pleased with the accomodations. Tucker enjoyed his time with Laurie. She was very nice and very professional and kept us up to date on his walks and if there were any questions she posed them. Great communication! Very reasonable as well! I will definitely book with Laurie again in the future.â

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was a child. I owned two Miniature Pinschers growing up and I adopted one Australian Shepherd mix that has special needs as an adult. I trained all of my dogs from the time they were puppies until they passed away as seniors. I also volunteered at the Humane Society of Westchester. I've always enjoyed being around animals since I was young and animals tend to feel the same way about me. Animals who are usually timid around strangers are comfortable around me right away and they seem to trust me right away. I feel like connecting with animals (dogs specifically) is a gift that I have. Being a sitter is a great way for me to use that gift in everyday life. New clients get a free 2027 desk calendar that has photos of my clients and my dog as well (check my photos for a preview). I'm able to adapt to the normal routine of the pets that I'm sitting in order to make the process as smooth as possible. I don't have a lot of room in my studio apartment so I'm only able to watch either 1-2 small dogs or one medium sized dog. Large dogs are too big for my apartment. If I'm at a client's home, I'll change my schedule to meet the needs of the pet. I believe all animals are unique and all have different needs in order to thrive in the environment that they're in. I'm willing to meet those needs by building my schedule around the animals that I'm sitting.
âHannah took very good care of my dog including interactive play and buying her new toys. Hannah was very responsive to my texts. Last but not least she is very personable and definitely shows her love for dogs. I have already rebooked for a few more days.â


âIrene and family are awesome caregivers for our dog, Tater Tot, who is always extremely excited to be dropped off. Tater Tot is blind and has separation anxiety and they have been very accommodating in supporting her. Iâm thankful to have them be able to take care of her.â


âFarva was amazing! First time using Rover and first time leaving my 2 older dogs at someoneâs house. She couldnât have been nicer and accommodating to my schedule. I felt at ease and will definitely call her if I need her again!â

âLily is down to earth and I felt comfortable leaving my pups with her for the day. Her property is also nice for my pups to roam outside. I received photos and videos periodically throughout the day with updates on how my babies were doing. I will definitely book again!â

About: I grew up in a dog-centric household, however I have taken care of my own dogs for the past 19 years. For the last 8 years, I've had the opportunity to foster dogs through different organizations, as well. It has been an extremely rewarding and educational experience with regards to learning about a multitude of different dogs and how best to deal with different dog personalities and what their mannerisms indicate. The foster dogs that I cared for ranged from puppies to senior dogs and included numerous different breeds. I've had dogs that were incredibly easy, as well as ones that were particularly difficult and high maintenance. These experiences have made me open to taking care of all types of dogs; I'm happy to help administer medicine, eye drops, insulin injections, etc. I've experienced it all! My schedule is flexible because I'm currently based from my home. This basically means that I'm available to provide care in whatever capacity needed beginning from late morning until the evening and any day Whenever a dog is my responsibility I make a point of giving them the care and attention that they require. I'm available to walk any pup beginning from late morning into the evening, including multiple times a day. I currently live in a house with 3 acres and a huge back yard with forest surrounding it, so it is not fenced. However, I'm more than happy to walk your dog if there's a fear that they will run into the forest. I'm also open to dog-sitting for anyone going on vacation! Our house is set up to accommodate dogs visiting and staying due to my previous fostering, which is how I came to have my two current dogs. Also, I'm a firm believer in positive reinforcement to teach dogs acceptable behavior and manners, so no punishments that may traumatize or hurt the pup!
âSonia did a wonderful job taking care of my dog. She is very patient, kind, and made sure my pup felt comfortable and happy. She also share photos during the day and walk our pup several times a day. I would definitely bring my dog back again and highly recommend their daycare!â

âMy dog, Luna, had a great day at Kyleâs. Heâs got a great setup for pups to play inside and out, and he clearly understands dogs well and is able to give them great care. Luna is very nervous around new people, and Kyle was able to attend to her needs and made sure she was comfortable during her stay. Will definitely be back.â

About: Iâve been caring for dogs for over 12 years and currently volunteer with the SPCA and with Guiding Eyes for the Blind, where I help care for and socialize dogs, including future service dogs. Iâve also worked professionally as a dog walker and sitter through WAG while living in NYC, which gave me experience handling many different breeds, temperaments, and routines. I was a dog owner myself and cared for my own dog until he passed, which deepened my understanding of how important patience, consistency, and genuine care are when it comes to pets. Iâm very attentive to each dogâs individual needs, whether that means energetic walks, playtime, medication schedules, or calm companionship. I treat every dog like my own and always prioritize their comfort, safety, and happiness. Iâm currently home full-time, which allows me to be very flexible and available for pet care throughout the day. I can easily accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening visits, as well as longer stays when needed. Because Iâm home, Iâm able to give pets plenty of attention, playtime, and consistency, and I can adjust my schedule to fit your petâs routine. I always prioritize safety and comfort, whether Iâm caring for pets in my home or in a clientâs home. I closely follow instructions, routines, and any special care needs, including feeding schedules and medications. Iâm attentive to behavior and environment, keep spaces clean and secure, and make sure pets feel calm and safe at all times. I treat every home and pet with respect, care, and responsibility.
âWe left Boone with Ryan for a few hours and boy did our boy came home sooooo exhausted! Ryan took him to the local dog park to run around and then he played with another pup at the house the rest of the night. Ryanâs communication is great, sharing videos and photos all throughout Booneâs stay. Weâll definitely keep Ryan in mind to watch our boy again in the future.â

âRafa LOVES Andrea. Rafa had a very full visit with Andrea and came home happy and exhausted. Andrea is very friendly and (obviously) loves dogs. She treats your dog like he is her own and I felt so comfortable leaving Rafa there. It was wonderful to have an evening out, knowing he was well cared for while also having a ball.â

âJessica was absolutely amazing! She took excellent care of my dog, and she sent cute pictures throughout the day. She communicates via the Rover app and responds quickly. She is truly a gifted dog sitter, and I am so thankful I found her!â

About: Our business has been booming with referrals and friends/family requests. Since dogs bring so much joy to life, I am dedicating more time to open bookings to new pets. I am a dog lover for a lifetime. As a kid, I would care for strays. As an adult, I have had a dog in my life for the past 30 years- I have adopted 3 full grown, mature labs from various shelters and they all had a great, long life! My current Lab is our sitting âmascotâ and she welcomes all dogs to our homestay center. She was an adoptee from an elderly couple. My young adult son & dog-lover is a great co-host to care for and play with your pet. Pets are like family here and they will be loved, cared for and respected. We will give play, attention, exercise, love and create a setting where your pet feels comfortable and not stressed. We should do a meet and greet with our dogs prior to first boarding. The yard here is fully fenced, but I only let dogs out in the yard with supervision. I will give walks/hikes, as you like. Your dog can sleep and hang-out in whatever area of the house is comfortable to him or her. If they prefer a crate, we can. If they prefer their own room, they can have my lower level finished room. If they like to mix it up with the family they can. We cater to your dog and help to diminish their stress and let them be themselves. If the pup is stressed and needs extra attention at night, they can sleep in the bedroom, ( sometimes on the bed, only if you allow that) . I have cared for multiple senior and special needs dogs, providing medication, and special care routines. We look forward to getting to know your loving pet and offering them a home away from home! Pet Care is a dominant share of our daily lives. Someone is here most of the day, so lots of interaction and attention is provided. If we run out , here or there ( as you would at home) each dog getâs their own space to hang-out. Dogs visiting from different families are only together, when supervised. My Home-Away-Vacay-Stay has a fully fenced yard with plenty of toys. Run of the house and cuddles with our family make your pup feel at home.
About: I have taken care of dogs and various other pets my whole adult life. I believe trust is the most important thing when it comes to leaving your pets with a sitter and I can assure you I will treat your pets like I would my own, with love and respect. Your dog will be staying in a family style boarding situation, where they get the love and attention from myself, my husband and our 2 children (7 and 10) who adore helping out with all the pups. We have a large fenced in back yard for lots of supervised running, playing and sniffing! I am trained in obedience training and can provide puppy socialization. Please reach out to me with any questions or to schedule a meeting! Boarding is always available. I am available weekdays after 8:30 am - 3:30 pm for walks, drop ins, puppy socialization or obedience training. I am fully available on the weekends for boarding, walking, drop-ins, puppy socialization and obedience training. I have 3 extremely friendly small dogs for your fur baby to play with or relax with. I strive to make the dogs that stay here comfortable and as stress free as possible.
About: I have taken care of many different animals for years. I have taken care of dogs big and small, cats, and reptiles! I am home for a year until Ieave for grad school and I am open to help! I am open to boarding however I do have a dog as well! I am looking for something part-time, as I am a college student at Roger Williams University! I have classes during the day but I am free by the early afternoon! I always make sure to have an eye on them, that they have everything they need, follow instructions given, and make sure to give them love and attention!

Adventure-ready dog walkers - Cross River
Prices are estimates per walk. Pricing may vary based on your search. A booking fee of 11% and taxes will apply.
About: Our pets are a very special part of our families. They each have their own quirks and personalities, and they all bring so much love and joy to our lives. I will meet your petâs needs, and spend time with them in the way they like the most. I have been a dog walker and pet care provider for 17 years now, and I still love my job! Each pet that I meet makes me smile. I like to think that I am able to give some of the happiness these animals bring to me, back to them. Over my 17 years of being a pet care provider, I have had experience with dogs of all different breeds, sizes and ages -from puppies to seniors. I am fully insured. I am willing to work with your pup on basic training, or put them in my car, for a short drive to a favorite walking area. If you need me to feed your dog or cat, please let me know. I can also spend time playing or cuddling with your dog or cat. When I am not enjoying the company of pets, I am drawing or painting pet portraits for commissions. I look forward to meeting your special pet. I will give them the activity, affection, and attention that is right for them. I am dependable, professional and most of all, caring. You can count on me to take good care of your pet, and you can feel confident, knowing that your pet is in exceptional hands, when you are not able to take care of them yourself. I have been walking dogs and taking care of pets during the day for 17 years now, and I spend my evenings drawing and painting pets for commissions as a pet portrait artist. Itâs all about the animals with me! I would love to come to your home and walk your dog in your neighborhood, or perhaps drive them to a close by favorite walking area. Some dogs have invisible fence collars, and need to be driven off the property, or they live on busy streets, that are not safe streets to walk on. I can drive them to a quiet side street or a park, if you prefer. You can request a feeding, if you would like, and I could do a quick scan of the house for any unexpected accidents, and clean them up for you. I can do drop-in visit (15 minutes), or a full 30 minute walk or play in the yard. More time can be requested, if necessary. For cat care, I can clean the litter boxes, feed your cat/refresh their water, and play or cuddle with them. I can also take a quick scan of the house for messes for them also.
About: Hi there! My name is Kat, and I have a deep, well-rounded background in animal care. With 3+ years of hands-on experience in animal rescue and 10 years of personal pet sitting (and 22+ years of animal-loving!), I bring calm expertise, safety awareness, and specialized care that goes far beyond standard pet sitting. I'm also a certified Wilderness First Responder and American Red Cross CPR Certified. Rescue Training: My time in animal rescue taught me to read subtle animal body language, prevent stressful situations, and keep pets safe and relaxed in any environment, while also serving as a friend and comfort to animals in need! Medication Administration: I have experience giving oral, topical, and routine medications to a wide variety of animals, ranging from kittens to senior dogs. Experience in All Sizes & Energy Levels: From toy breeds to giant dogs, I understand how to handle different temperaments and physical needs. I love taking high-energy dogs on extensive, engaging walks (especially on our local hiking trails!) to keep them physically exercised and mentally happy. I am a full-time student supporting myself while working toward my paralegal certification. I take my courses online from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. (Monday-Thursday), so I am available for in-house sitting, drop-in visits, or whatever your pet may need! Since I offer only In-House Sitting, Drop-In Visits, and walk services, your pets will receive 1-on-1 attention without leaving the comfort of their familiar surroundings. My priority is maintaining their daily routine while keeping your home secure and your pets safe. With every visit, I will provide consistent photo updates and detailed reports after each drop-in/day! Flexible, personalized pet care (drop-ins & sitting): Regardless of whether it's a quick 30-minute stop-in for food, meds, play, and potty breaks, or an overnight stay, I adapt entirely to your petâs individual needs and routine. I strive to keep homes tidy, secure, and maintained, reducing travel stress for everyone and helping pets feel their best! Outdoor Safety: During walks and outdoor breaks, safety is paramount- I practice attentive situational awareness and strive to maintain large distances from any off-leash dogs, as well as ensuring your pet is safely and securely harnessed/leashed. Overall Safety Precautions: From my rescue experience, animals are curious!- In this, I ensure all doors, gates, and deadbolts are latched securely during every entry and exit, double-check that food and medications are sealed out of reach, as well as keeping a watchful eye out for subtle changes in pet health or behavior. Home Maintenance/Overall Peace of Mind: During house sits and drop-ins, I am happy to bring in mail, water plants, keep your living spaces spotless, or help with any other tasks.
About: I have taken care of friends and family pets over the course of this year some long-term and some short term. Frequent dog park visits and timely feedings. I can accommodate all types of diets, raw kibble, and specialty foods. I currently work full-time however I have a rotating schedule so I can often pet sit and drop in weekdays if needed and weekends. I am off in the mornings so drop and visits are easy for people who work 9 to 5 and just want their dog to have some extra time out or to just check in on the cats. There is an option of having your pet here in my space all to themselves or with my personal pets. I have different options of sleeping accommodations for your pet cage, cot and cushioned. Though I do not have a fenced in yard, I have a dog park in my complex as well as a dog park 4 minutes away by car. I can accommodate all diets, including raw diet.
âWe are so grateful to have found Joseph. Our mini poodle is quite skittish around people other than family, and Joseph showed great patience and understanding with her, allowing her to get comfortable on her own timeline. Now when he arrives, our dog is thrilled to see him and comes home from walks happy and relaxed. We also appreciate Joseph's dependability and reliability; we trust him completely.â


About: For the past three years, Iâve volunteered at a local animal shelter with my mother. I completed my senior internship there and now volunteer on my own. In my time at the shelter, Iâve gained lots of dog walking experience, especially with young puppies. Iâm familiar with shelter training techniques and with cleaning and sanitation. I have two dogs of my own, one of which is a difficult walker. I know how most types of dog harnesses work. My internship involved spending time in the cat room, during which time I worked with cats of all temperaments. I donât currently work in an official capacity and donât play any sports, so Iâm free pretty much all the time aside from my volunteer work. Iâm going to college in September, so Iâm not available for long term arrangements that go past summer. Iâm used to animals with a wide range of play styles. I have a dog that loves to play fetch and go for swims, and I live near a large trail system, so Iâm most familiar with those forms of enrichment. I have a minivan and can drive dogs to dog parks, trails, and fields.
About: As a lifelong pet owner with hands-on experience in rehabilitating rescue animals, I bring a unique level of care and understanding to pet sitting that goes beyond the basic needs. My commitment to animal well-being has been a lifelong passion, enriched by years of nurturing animals and helping them thrive. With over two acres of open space, I can provide pets with a safe and stimulating environment where they can explore, exercise, and feel at home. This personalized approach, combined with my experience, ensures that each pet receives the highest level of care, attention, and compassion. As a full time parent to two sweet and caring boys, my priorities and work are centered within the home, a beautiful 2.5 acre property in northern westchester. Once your pets arrive at my home they are immediately treated as part of our family, that prioritizes love, empathy and care. Completely customizable to your needs, my services provide your pets with whatever is necessary for them to thrive.
About: I've grown up with a variety of animals my whole life, including dogs, cats, and farm animals. Although I have little experience with pet sitting, I'm very comfortable with all kinds of dogs and cats. I'm currently working 2 part-time jobs as a barista, however I'm super flexible as my work schedule changes from week to week. Besides that I like to go to the gym and spend time with my chickens as much as I can. Around that I still have plenty of free time to start pet sitting. I love spending time and playing with pets, so a lot of what I would do is keep your pet company and engage with them as much as I can. With dogs I would play fetch outside if possible and with cats I would run them around with whatever toys they have. As well as, making sure the animals have enough food / water and keeping their home as clean as possible.
âJohn (Cotter) was very communicative and wonderful with our dogs! Our pups are a very energetic (crazy) pair - they loved Cotter. Thank you for taking great care of them!â

âBuster had a great time with Antonio today! Lorre and Antonio are very attentive and caring and pay attention to the small details. Theyâre also very communicative and keep you informed. Thank you much!â

I am available for drop-in visits, dog walking, and pet sitting during mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends depending on my class schedule. I understand the importance of consistency, exercise, and companionship, and I will make sure your pet receives plenty of attention, playtime, and care while youâre away I am a responsible and caring pet owner with two dogs of my own, so I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, exercise routines, and any special care requirements. In your home, I will respect your space and maintain your petâs normal routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. I provide regular updates, photos, and communication so you can have peace of mind while youâre away.

âWas visiting the area for a few days and needed help. Cam bonded quickly with my dog and took great care of him! The place I was visiting was surrounded by busy streets with no sidewalks. Cam kept my dog safe, walking only in the areas with the least amount of traffic. Thank you Cam!â

âDew is a great communicator and a pleasure to work with. She clearly cares about the dogs in her care. Juno had a great time and we have already booked another overnight.â


âOur dog had a great time with Farva! She has a wonderful fenced backyard so our dog could play with other dogs. She sent us updates throughout the stay, and was very kind and responsive.â

âRyan EXCEEDED my expectations! He has an intuitive way with dogs. He is very knowledgable about dogs & dog behavior. Ryan is the real deal-- a true animal lover & kind, decent human being. He communicated well with pics and updates during my dog's visit. During our initial meeting I felt an instant rapport he had with my dog that put me at ease. His home is VERY dog-centric! The visiting dogs are not confined and are free to mingle and find their own place to relax. There are ample dog beds, couches, human beds and floor space for lounging and sleeping. I especially appreciate that Ryan limits the number of dogs he boards at one time to a very small group, & makes sure they vibe well together beforehand. The living space Ryan and his boarders occupy is all on one level, which is great for my dog with arthritis. There is a wooded trail for walks adjoining the yard, and a guest bedroom if a dog needs some quiet alone time. I would HIGHLY recommend Ryan and I plan to use him again!â

âOnce again Nicole took good care of Lulu while we were away, Lulu is always looking forward to stay with Nicole and her three dogs, itâs her vacation too away from home. She plays a lot and had a great time. Thanks again Nicole!â

âRachael did an awesome job watching our dog Daphne for 2 weeks while we were away for the holidays! She did activities with the dogs every day including taking them on hikes, playing with toys, and running on her huge farm. I never worried about Daphne the whole time we were gone because Rachael took great care of her and sent photos and videos of her everyday to keep us updated! Rachael is the best!â

âRich was a lifesaver! We needed last-minute help watching Honey, and he responded quickly and made sure we got to do a meet-and-greet. Heâs got a great doggy daycare/boarding going from his house with plenty of room in the backyard for the pups to have fun! Rich was a gem in being around all the time for the dogs, being available, and sharing updates. I recommend Rich and his services, even if you are looking more for doggy day care- he is where itâs at!â

âNandita is a great sitter & we were lucky to connect with her. She has a great fenced in yard & and adorable dog that I was pleased my dog could play with. She was great with communication & we had a great experience.â


âIrene and her family are warm, kind, communicative and very responsible dog boarders - our dog Ollie likes being with them so much he barely registers when I drop him off and comes home happy and calm after staying with Irene. I canât recommend her more for watching your pup!â


âElvia and her family are wonderful. Chloe had the best time!!! Chloe is definitely looking forward to going back to Elvia. Thank you for taking such great care of Chloe â¤ď¸â¤ď¸â¤ď¸â¤ď¸â

âGreat host. Has an outdoor fenced in area, very easy to communicate with, no issues handling medications or other specific needs - all in all a great dog sitter. Thank you so much.â

âErika is absolutely amazing with our dog, Gotham! She is incredibly responsive, reliable, and truly caring. It gives us so much peace of mind knowing Gotham is in such loving and attentive hands. You can tell she genuinely cares about the dogs she watches, and it shows in everything she does. We feel so lucky to have found her and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate dog sitter!â

âReliable and friendly! Benson seems to really enjoy his time with her. She sent lots of pictures and was very communicative during my pupâs stay!â

âSaori was great. Our one year old lab was in heaven at their place. We received a puppy that was well cared for and had gotten a lot of socialization and exercise is a safe environment.â


âI was so fortunate to have found Anastasiia to watch our dog Axel when we traveled to Europe. We had booked a sitter who cancelled - leaving us with very little time to find another over the holiday season. We had Anastasiia was reasonably priced compared to some of the other sitters available (watch out for price gouging during the holidays). I had booked someone who was less expensive but when we did the meet and great, I saw that they were using Rover to run a kennel: 10 dogs kept in an 8x6 garage - with no one home! I took a chance on Anastasiia because she is new to Rover. When I met her in her home, I could tell right away that Axel would be in good hands! The home is charming and so was Anastasiia's partner :-). During Axel's stay he got to go to the park and play and even got to go on a hike. Anastasiia asked me if it was ok to take him and how he was in the car. The pictures of their adventure made me smile :-). I was sent lots of pictures during Axel's stay - most either playing or lounging lol Axel was in good spirits when we picked him up. I felt comfortable and confident that my family member was being given good care while we were overseas. I highly recommend.â

âAngelimar is amazing! She watched our senior dog for over a week and was fantastic with her health needs, effortlessly managing a last-minute addition to her medication schedule. Our pup absolutely loved her stay and had the best time tagging along to work with Angelimar for extra companionship. Highly recommend!â


âArsenii was fantastic with our two dogs. Wonderful communication from the very start, updates with pictures and two very happy dogs on pickup. Recommend him VERY highly! Thank you Arsenii!â
