“Mikayla offered me peace of mind while on vacation knowing my senior girl was in good hands! Daily pics, great communication, and when I picked up my dog it was very clear she was comfortable and at ease with Mikayla. 10/10 recommend and will be using her in the future! Thank you!”
“We were so blessed to find Sue with such late notice. Our little bear means so much to us but the Airbnb we were staying at didn’t allow pets. Sue took him in without hesitation and opened up her home with so much love and kindness for our senior pup. He felt right at home doing all of his normal habits as if he were staying with family. We loved that she sent us videos and pics through out his stay to ensure he was taken care of. I highly recommend Sue and if you are looking for the best sitter to look after your fur baby. She is clearly an animal lover and will only provide the best service! If we are ever in the area and need help looking after our little bear we know who to call. Thank you for everything Sue we are so grateful for you!”
“I found Jane on Rover last minute we were lucky she had space to take Kali for the weekend. First time for us to leave our dog with anyone so we were a bit nervous. Jane put us at ease and our dog Kali had a wonderful time playing with other pups all weekend long! Jane sent updates and photos and videos of Kali throughout her stay and it really put our mind at ease. Next time we can’t take Kali with us for some reason we will not hesitate to drop her off at Jane’s again.”
“Thank you very much to Stephanie and her family for taking good care of Ozzy and for keeping us updated with photos during his stay. He has come back to us happy and healthy!”
“Anthony and Jane were fantastic. Great communicators, really nice setup on their property with tons of space and a fenced yard. My dog got along well with theirs. Will definitely book again.”
“We highly recommend Lauren. She's easy-going, flexible, personable, and good communicator. It shows right away that they really love animals. They have a wonderful place up in the hills: lots of animals and room to run around. It's a doggie Holiday camp! Are dog was healthy and in good spirits when we picked him up. Thanks Lauren!”
“Sarah & Aaron treated Molly as a member of their family. They were patient with her and understanding of her needs. This and the updates they provided made us all comfortable. We will book again!”
“Simon watched our little pup while we went away for the weekend. The two of them became fast buddies and we were grateful to know our little guy was with someone he was so comfortable with.”
“Jessica did an excellent job watching our dog, Moose! She was easy to communicate with and sent lots of pictures during Moose’s stay. She took him for a walk on a trail and played with him in the back yard. He seemed happy while he was there. I highly recommend Jessica!”
“Kayte was amazing!!! My dog has anxiety, but he felt right at home with Kayte. They even went on a 5-mile walk that I’ll now have to live up to haha. She sent pics daily and Onyx always looked so happy and safe. I’ll definitely be using Kayte again!!!”
“Jenny is super easy to communicate with and flexible! She’s very friendly and I felt my dog was very safe with her. We actually needed to cancel our booking so Daisy only spent a few hours with her but she had already sent us a photo! I will definitely be booking with Jenny in the future.”
About: I grew up with all different types of animals my whole life. I have been a dog mom for 13 years. I am great at walking dogs who have aggression towards other dogs, I know how to find a calm route to take and distract them before conflict arises! I recently lost my 90 lb alapaha blue blood bulldog mix to a terminal illness and am looking forward to spending time with other people's dogs. I am a self employed artist, volunteer, and executive director of a free store that I physically staff on Saturdays, so I have a very flexible schedule. I I will care for your pets with so much attentiveness and love! Just give me a set of instructions and I will show them a great time. I am happy to board as well as make house calls, and I live in a 2 bedroom apartment with my 4 year old foster daughter. We live next to many swimming holes and in a location with greay walkability.
“Sophia is so lovely and gentle. I felt very confident that she would be a sweet caretaker for Fiona. She sent me photos and responded quickly. She was very upfront when we met about other things she would be doing while Fiona was there and I really appreciated her doing so. We were able to talk about Fiona’s needs and quirks and how best to address them for everyone’s benefit. Would definitely use her again when she’s in town!”
“Jennifer was great with Poppy. Poppy is an older dog that is very social and can over do things. Jennifer was able to adjust and manage balancing out between poppy’s physical and mental needs. I could tell when I got there how much poppy loved spending time at their home. If I have any regret, it is not finding Jennifer earlier in Poppy’s life as she would have really loved spending time wandering the marvelous property.”
About: I have over 15 years of hands-on pet care experience working with a wide range of breeds, including high-energy and working line dogs. I currently own a German Shepherd, Belgian Malinois, and Husky. I’m an active hiker and runner, and love giving dogs both mental and physical enrichment. Whether your pup needs structured exercise, calm companionship, or just a fun adventure, I provide a safe, positive, and reliable environment. Your dog will be treated like family and cared for with experience and genuine love. I work full-time during the week, but I’m available Friday, Saturday, and Sunday for pet care. Whether your dog needs walks, hikes, runs, training sessions, house sitting, or boarding I’m happy to help. Weekends are when I have the most time and energy to give your pet my full attention, care, and activity. During the week depending on times requested! Your dog’s safety and comfort always come first. I can care for your pup either in your home or at mine. I have three well-trained dogs who are friendly and social—your dog is welcome to play with them if that’s something you’re comfortable with. If you prefer a quieter or individual environment, I can also crate and rotate dogs to ensure your pup has safe, stress-free time and space. I live just five minutes from a local park, which is perfect for walks, exercise, and outdoor enrichment. Whether it’s playtime, relaxed company, or structured activity, I’ll make sure your dog feels secure, stimulated, and cared for like family.
About: I have many years of experience working with dogs of all sizes. Enjoy walking dogs. Will care for your dog and treat them as family. I’m able to take care of your animal during day, evening or even for overnight. I’m always walking dogs and pet sitting cats and dogs. I will follow instructions for what is needed. Will keep animals safe and ensure that any animals that are not allowed outside don’t go outside. I will play with animals, empty litter box, and ensure they are safe before leaving.
About: Had a deep soul connection with my cat Marbles for 15 years 🖤🐈⬛🌹 I enjoy showing animals comfort and care. Not afraid to get down on the ground and play either :) I’m an intuitive and allow animals their space and time to enjoy nature. I prefer not to rush them but can stay on schedule if need be. Please book a drop-in visit if you’d like an in-person meet and greet. I prefer not to be around cigarettes, vape, artificial scents and harsh chemicals (detergents, dryer sheets, perfumes, candles, air fresheners, harsh chemicals, etc.) These are not healthy for us or our beloved animals ✌️🐾♥️). *Important* my house is temporarily limited at the moment, so for daycare services, I’d prefer to entertain your dog (or cat on a leash) around town, hang out at the lodge or go for a long walk or hike rather than back to my place. If this is an issue, please message me before booking. When messaging please include a “💚” so I know you read this. Thank you! Additionally, please message me if you would like to discuss rates. Thank you 🥰♥️🤗 I’m pretty flexible at the moment; albeit a tad busy also. I do have one other dog that I walk morning and night but we can work around that. If it is an emergency I could probably work something out for home care but right now I’m primarily caring for animals around their own home and neighborhood.

“Excellent and conscientious sitter. Booked a day before a holiday weekend and she did a wonderful job taking care of my cat. She sent many photos and updates, 10/10 highly recommend booking with Kasey.”

About: Hello all! My name is Carly. I am from Connecticut originally and have been living in the Capital district for about two years now. When I was back in home state, I had been sitting for about 8 years on and off and grew up taking care of all types. I used to have my own business called CA Pet Services doing pet sitting during my free time. I have taken care of all types of animals, large and small. I love meeting new furry friends and enjoy spending time getting to know them and giving them all the affection they deserve. Each animal that is under my care will get endless amounts of love and enjoyment. I want each dog or cat to feel safe, relaxed, and to feel that homey sensation when I take care of them. I also have my own 10-year-old male Australian Shepard, who is my fur child and enjoys meeting new friends that he can play with and take on adventures with. I'm currently looking to extend my pet care services for dog walking/drop ins on Mondays and Tuesdays. Some fun facts about me: • I am currently enrolled in an online vet tech program to become a licensed veterinary technician. • During my free time I like to ride horses, hike, and spend time with dog. I currently am working my full time job 4 days a week, my availability on my days off which are Mondays and Tuesdays is very flexible for dog walking and drop ins. I do not care for pets in my own home because I do have my own dog that is selective with others as he is in his senior age. If or when I do go to a clients, I respect all of the clients wishes and requests for their pet. The animal will be taken care of with thee upmost best care, as it is very hard to find reliable caretakers for our fur children.
“Sophie took wonderful care of our two kittens while we were away on a long trip. Since it was our first time using a sitter, we were pretty nervous but she was very communicative and attentive which gave us so much peace of mind. We could tell that she was going above and beyond to make sure they had lots of love and attention. When we came home, it was clear they had been well cared for—happy, healthy, and content. We’re so grateful and would love for Sophie to watch our girls again sometime.”
About: I have spent most of my life taking care of animals large and small. I have grown up with dogs, cats and also had horses since a very young age. I have experience giving meds and taking care of elderly animals. I can assure you I am a all around animal lover and I will treat your pet as my own. I also use rover myself so I know what a pet owner is looking for when someone is watching your fur baby. :) I am available for weekend care only 😊. My days are pretty open all hours during the weekend. Some evening appointments are available during the week. I am offering to go into clients homes and for dog walking. I am honest, respectful and will treat their home as my own. I can perform any tasks needed to take care of their fur babies.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Gilboa
“Bob has been the best dog sitter we've ever worked with. He's very friendly and loves dogs. He gives frequent updates and is very responsive. Also the first time we dropped Walter off he sat me down and took me through a typical day of day care and if I had any questions/if Walter had any dietary restriction. We now drop Walter off on a regular basis without a worry in mind that he's going to have an excellent visit! Thanks to Bob for being so great! ”
“So happy to find such a great home for Sunny to visit while we’re gone — and only 11-minutes away. We could tell on our “meet & greet” visit that Sue and her pup & cat would get along well with ours. Sue send pix and a video today, and I could tell Sunny was very happy there. When I picked her up at the end of the day, it was obvious they were all happy together. Looking forward to many more visits and overnights!”
“Jane’s home is welcoming & relaxed. Our Sadie was nervous her first day of Doggie Daycare but was one of the pack by the I returned later in the day to pick her up. THANK YOU JANE!! Sadie will be back for another day with her doggie friends soon.”
“Lauren graciously accepted our last minute request for our dog. Her love for animals is apparent when you communicate with her, and she was super accommodating. We highly recommend her!”
About: Since I been born my parents have had dogs and I was luckily able to care for them. I have dog sat for friends and family before and had nothing but a great experience.

My care for your dog will not change regarding the location. I care for each dog the same way I have cared for my dogs in the past.
“Can't say enough good things about Sophia. She was extremely caring and loving with our puppy, a true animal lover and very pleasant person to deal with. Thank you once again!!!”
“Jenny was great and took my two pups for the day! They came back tried and happy. Her resident dogs were great hosts to my nervous pup, and he came home with new friends, a big victory for him. Good communication from Jenny from start to finish.”
About: As a professional, certified dog trainer and k9 handler for the last 20 years I am the premier doggie boarding, sitting, walking and training in the Hudson Valley. Canine communication is our speciality and we love teaching our clients how to speak dog! I love your pet like our own and our clients become part of our family for life! We do not whisper, we translate. Our world revolves around DOGS. I exclusively offer walking, boarding, training, daycare and drop in visits full time. If it isn’t dogs I don’t do it! PS I also will love your kitty or farm animals too! We have a fully fenced in yard, live on 15 acres and have both crates and kennel runs for pups who prefer not to be as social or for in heat or intact dogs. We do have a toddler who is dog savvy and our pack of pups who love to play and entertain. We have a three floor house so plenty of room for those persnickety pups who’d like their space. When we travel to your home we learn their space and their routine to make the best experience!
“After my 1st visit with another sitter I wasn't happy at all with her but Jessica changed my experience with rover. From the beginning she asked great questions about my boy blue, the other sitter didn't ask anything. She was nice sent multiple pictures and blue was overall very happy with her. I will definitely be using her again. 5 stars all the way. Thank you Jessica!!”
“Our Marcie came home nice and tired, and didn't seem stressed at all. Mikayla has other pets that are friendly and sociable, so we are of course happy to have our dog have the opportunity to play and socialize with them.”
