“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!”
“Jadyn stayed with my 119-pound Bernedoodle for five days, and she was absolutely amazing. She maintained regular communication throughout my trip and sent pictures, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. Knowing that she already had experience caring for large dogs made me feel very comfortable from the start. My dog was well cared for, and I could tell he was in great hands. I will definitely be booking Jadyn again for my next vacation and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.”
“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! 🥰🥰”
“Arsenii takes great care of Bubba like always! We can rest assured that Bubba would have a great time when we are in vacation if he’s with Arsenii. He’s simply Bubba’s favorite :)”

“Dew 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.”
“I had a last minute request and Jomini responded almost immediately and saved the day. She asked questions to make sure my dog had the proper precautions to be outdoors at her place and checked with me about any specific schedule before drop off. She was super responsive and flexible with timing for drop off / pick up. She sent so many pictures of my dog and I could see he was having a great time!”
“Natacha was a God-sent. She watched out 7 month old Husky, Samon for 3 days. Natacha had a gorgeous Husky herself. She sent up pic and updates daily. We felt confident that Samson would be safe in Natacha's care, and he was. We will be using her again in the future to care for Samson. Could not have asked for a better sitter!”
“Alexis was fantastic. Our sweet pup is 13 years old and can get really anxious when she's boarded, but she did great with Alexis! Our travel plans kept changing at the last minute and Alexis was so flexible and understanding when we were running late to drop her off. Can not recommend her highly enough!”
“Jessica 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.”
“Annie was great with my pup, Athena. She was available on short notice and talked me through her process. Athena came home happy, tired and satisfied. I would not hesitate to book again. Thank you!!”
“Cannot recommend Barbara enough for both overnight and doggy day care services!! great outdoor space at her home and located right near a phenomenal park where the dogs get to go on extra long walk with her. our dog always comes back happy, and tired from all the playing with her dog, Lou. Lincoln runs straight to her door when we got there for drop off and Barbara is super responsive + sends great pictures / videos the whole time we are away.”
“My dog didn’t want to come home after staying with Crystal and has pouted since I brought him home. He clearly had a blast. I read the positive reviews when booking, and I’m glad I listened to everyone. Highlights- great communication, loved my dog as her own, gave me complete peace of mind while I traveled. I couldn’t have asked for a better person to trust to watch my best friend.”
“Maria (and family) were lifesavers and saved our trip by having availability last minute when another sitter canceled on us. Our dogs looked so happy and loved while we were gone. Definetly recommend and look forward to using her again!”
“Stephanie has watched our dog Murphy on multiple occasions. He really loves her, and I can see how happy he is when he stays with her. He barely says goodbye to us when we drop him off! Thank you, Stephanie!”
“Pico had a great stay with Hayden! Communication was so easy, Hayden sent tons of photos, and was very flexible with our pick-up times. Pico was allowed to make himself right at home and we were happy to see him so relaxed and comfortable. We will definitely book with Hayden in the future!”
“We had an excellent experience with Michael from Rover. From the very beginning, he demonstrated outstanding communication by ensuring we brought all the necessary supplies and asking thoughtful questions about our three furbabies' care. He was always responsive and replied to our messages promptly, giving us confidence that our pets were in great hands. During their stay, Michael went above and beyond by sending us daily updates with pictures and messages, which gave both my fiancé and me peace of mind. He also carefully followed all of our care instructions, including cleaning our pets' eyes as requested, showing genuine attention to detail and compassion for their well-being. It was clear that Michael truly cared for our three furbabies and treated them as if they were his own. We greatly appreciated his professionalism, reliability, and dedication. We would highly recommend Michael to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter, and we would not hesitate to book with him again.”

“Our cat loves Emily and looks forward to her visits. We trust her completely and know our cat is in great hands when we’re away. Her updates and pictures are thorough and fun to read. Thanks again.”
“Maritza was an amazing sitter! She sent photos and updates every time she took care of our cats, Buddha and Gagoots. You can tell by the photos that they really liked her. She played with them and really cared for them from a Wednesday through Sunday! We will definitely use her again! Highly recommend her.”
“Gianna has been a pleasure to work with this month. December can be challenging but she remained flexible and up beat despite the weather. My mini dachshund is absolutely in love with her. Thank you 💕”
About: Animals are basically part of my DNA. I’ve been walking dogs and pet sitting since I was a child, and I grew up surrounded by dogs, cats, and other animals. I’ve also been riding and caring for horses my entire life, which means I’m very comfortable with responsibility, routines, and understanding animal behavior. I have hands-on experience with pets of all sizes, ages, and personalities—from energetic dogs who love long walks and playtime to seniors who need a calmer pace and extra TLC. I’m great at reading animal cues, keeping routines consistent, and making sure pets feel safe, happy, and loved. I truly treat every pet as if they were my own. I work from home, so pets are never left alone and are part of my daily routine. My home sits on 3 acres of private property surrounded by a state park, which means lots of space for play and long walks or hikes. Safety and trust are always my top priorities. I care for pets by treating them like part of the family, whether they’re in my home or theirs. I stick closely to each pet’s usual routine—including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and rest—so they feel comfortable and secure. I make sure dogs get plenty of supervised exercise, enrichment, and attention throughout the day. I’m attentive to individual needs, whether that means extra activity for high-energy dogs, gentle care for seniors, or patience and consistency with puppies. I also keep pet parents updated with messages and photos so they can feel confident their pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.
“Theresa did a great job caring for my black and white cat Leo who needs injections of insulin and for my orange cat Oliver. She was able to accomplish everything needed and was very pleasant to work with!”
“Vinny helped me ensure my pets had great care during a family emergency. I am forever grateful for his prompt help and excellent care, it was such a comfort to know my pets were taken care of and I didn’t need to worry about them at all. Thank you!!”
“Kathleen was recommended to me by a friend a few months ago and has been consistently reliable and excellent. Unfortunately I am moving out of NY state now, and the last several weeks have been hectic but I am forever grateful for her service!”
“I would give a hundred stars if I could. I’ve never left my cat alone before but Stephanie put me at ease. She is truly a professional, so kind and caring. I will book her every single time.”
“Brenda watched our cat in her home and was awesome. Our cat is shy with other people at first, but very social at heart. Brenda made our cat comfortable when he initially arrived and was afraid, and by the end of his stay he was out and about and getting plenty of love from Brenda. We definitely recommend her as a pet sitter and will definitely be using her again in the future.”

About: Hi! I’m a passionate dog lover with over 10 years of hands-on experience fostering and caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. If it were up to me, every dog looking for a loving home would have a place in mine. Caring for dogs isn’t just something I do—it’s something I truly love. Over the years I’ve had the privilege of looking after countless dogs, helping them feel safe, comfortable, and happy while their families are away. I understand that every dog has a unique personality, and I take the time to earn their trust, learn their routines, and make them feel right at home. I’m experienced with basic training and positive reinforcement using treats, helping dogs build good habits while making learning fun. Whether it’s reinforcing routines, group feeding, administering lots of love and attention, or simply making sure they feel comfortable, I always put each dog’s needs first. I’m very active, so your pup can expect plenty of walks, playtime, trips to the park, backyard fun (including supervised pool time if appropriate), and, of course, lots of cuddles and affection at the end of the day. I treat every pet like they’re my own because I truly believe they’re family. My goal is to give you complete peace of mind, knowing your furry family member is safe, loved, and receiving the same care and attention they would at home. Whether you’re away for a weekend, a business trip, or need regular care, I’m here to provide a reliable, loving, and fun environment for your pup. I can’t wait to meet you and your best friend! Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. Since I have years of experience fostering and caring for dogs, my days already revolve around feeding schedules, walks, playtime, exercise, training, and giving each dog the love and attention they deserve. I enjoy staying active, so daily walks and trips to the park are something I genuinely look forward to. I also make time for cuddles, enrichment activities, and keeping pets on their normal routines so they feel safe and comfortable while their family is away. Caring for pets isn’t just a job for me—it’s something I truly enjoy every day of the week. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, playtime, medications (if needed), and plenty of affection. I pay close attention to each dog’s personality and energy level so they get the care that’s best for them. I also keep pet parents updated with regular photos and messages, so they can relax knowing their furry family member is happy and well cared for while they’re away.
“Chloe is the best! She took care of my 10 month old puppy, Hazel, while I was at work for the day & Hazel had the best time! She loved running around with Chloe’s two sweet puppies who are so friendly and playful! Chloe sent me several updates, pictures and videos throughout the day. I could tell she made a special effort to help Hazel feel comfortable in her new environment for the day. Highly recommended, will be calling Chloe again for doggy daycare soon!”
About: If you enjoy working with someone, you must work with them. Again, and again and again that is how I feel when I’m around my Fur friends! I work full-time for the Department of Education, but I am available on the weekends and the entire summer to care for your Fur friend. I live in a house with a backyard and enough room for your furry friend to run and play. I will provide great services to ensure they are always happy and well-cared for

“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!”
“Weina was flexible with our drop off/pick up time for Finnegan which was much appreciated! She took our sweet pup out on three long walks over a 7+ hour period plus additional short potty and water breaks. She sent updates and photos throughout the stay. Quick to respond to our request and any additional outreach!”
“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”

“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.”
“Barbara was just great for Maddie. She made sure Maddie got plenty of relief breaks, especially on the very miserable days of rain, and Barbara’s home at the end of a no exit street meant Maddie was always safe. Rainy days were spent curled up on the sofa, and there were treats too. There were walks in the forest and by the river, which Maddie loves. Maddie clearly enjoyed her 3 days, enabling us to sight see in NYC without worry. Generously, Barbara dropped us at the rail station when she collected Maddie, and picked us up again. She was really flexible with my dates, which I couldn’t confirm until the last minute, and even then had to alter them. She was also friendly, chatty and warm, a pleasure to meet her.”
About: I have extensive experience caring for animals because I truly love them. In my home country, the Dominican Republic, I cared for three Yorkshire dogs, a cat, four cockatoos, and a horse. I have also rescued abandoned animals, supported their recovery, and placed them in responsible adoptive homes. I am patient, reliable, and very attentive to each pet's individual needs. Pet care is my full-time job, so it is my main daily focus. I provide in-home care and am available throughout the day to offer constant attention, supervision, walks, timely feedings, playtime, and companionship. I carefully follow each pet's routine and individual needs to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and at home. When caring for pets in my home, I always prioritize their safety, comfort, and well-being. My home is a calm, clean, and pet-safe environment. I make sure to remove any potential hazards and keep doors and areas secure at all times. I carefully follow the owner’s instructions, including feeding, walks, medication, and specific routines. I provide constant supervision, loving attention, and a comfortable space where pets feel relaxed and at home.
“Dew 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 else’s care. Dew almost immediately alleviated my concerns. I feel like her care has been a major benefit for me and for my puppy’s social development. Will continue to take advantage of Dew’s services for the foreseeable future. Highly recommended!”

“Jasmine is one of the best dog walkers we’ve had! She always communicates in a timely and kind fashion, sending pictures and letting me know how Josies doing. We just moved here recently and Jasmine was really patient with Josie until she felt comfortable going on her walks (and even made her homemade treats which she loved!). Now Josie knows exactly who Jasmine is and looks forward to her walks! I’m so happy we have Jasmine in the neighborhood!”

“Alina did great with my dog, Nova! She arrived on time and soothed my worries by taking lots of pictures of Nova, who looked like she was having a great time. She was even amenable to my crazy work schedule and was nothing short of amazing about helping me out last minute two days in a row. Definitely going to request her again in the future! Thank you, Alina!”
About: I have taken care of animals for as long as I can remember. I grew up with cats, but most of my family had dogs, so I have always been around them. This love for animals also got me into the veterinary field, which I have 6 years experience in. I have years of experience walking, handling, and playing with dogs and now have the experience to give oral medications or injections if needed. I currently don’t have any dogs, but I do have 2 cats. During my day I always make sure I wake up early enough to feed them and clean the litter box. After coming home from work, I feed them dinner and spend some time brushing and playing with them. I then clean the litter box before going to bed and repeat the next day. In my home, I have installed screen doors on the entry doors to prevent my cats from escaping but so they also can see the outside activity. I have socket covers to prevent them from playing in it and make sure to cover all wires so they don’t think they are toys.
About: I've had dogs all my life and I am always reliable when it comes to caring for other dogs from family, friends, and clients alike. Pet care for me is wholesome and amazing since I get to take care of other dogs! I work part-time and I enjoy having dogs! My home is suitable for doggy care since I have my own dog. I make sure to keep my home safe and secured for dogs.
“Michael bonded with Maeve immediately, and shared the most adorable photos of her on their outings! I appreciate the updates very much. He's extremely reliable and communicative. Most importantly, I know Maeve is in excellent hands!”

I can be trusted with providing animals the proper medication for their individual needs. I will ensure that pets are safe and given adequate attention when their owners are away from home. Pets are welcome in my home or I can care for them at their home. I am very flexible to make it convenient and easy for you and your fur babies. I'm currently working part time and I make my own schedule so I'll have plenty of time to give your pet the attention that they deserve. Please keep me up to date on what special care your pet will need when caring for in your own home and where the treats are located :)
“Griffin was a great caretaker for our older dog while we were away for a week. He was very reliable and communicative and is very caring. He provided our dog great exercise and company during his visits while we were away. I highly recommend Griffin!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs my whole life and developed a sense of understanding a dogs behavior and body language. Friends and family have always rely on me because they know I am great at meeting a dogs needs and dependable when needed. I am home several days of the week and have time for walks, playtime, and belly rubs. I’m also available on the weekends where I can provide consistent check ins, and walks. I will care for every pet as if they were my own whether they’re in my home or in yours I will make sure they feel safe, comfortable.
“This was our first time using Rover in several years and since moving back to NYC from another state. We engaged Doris to stop by our apartment to walk our two large dogs in the middle of a weekday when we both had to be out of town and it sounds like everything went great. One of our dogs, Molly, can be very shy and skittish, so we left Doris detailed instructions about how to deal with her. Doris gave us specific feedback about how Molly did with her (quite well, as it turned out), which made us feel more comfortable about the next time we will need to employ someone to help with the dogs.”
About: I have several years of experience caring for dogs through friends, family, and neighbors. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and I always prioritize safety, patience, and making sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for. I’m reliable, communicative, and happy to send updates and photos during walks or visits. I’m also flexible with scheduling and available for last-minute requests. I currently have a very flexible schedule and am available most days of the week for walks, drop-ins, or pet care. I only work Sundays and Mondays, so I have open availability the rest of the week, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I’m also available for last-minute bookings and happy to work around your schedule. I always make sure your pet is safe, comfortable, and taken care of. I’ll follow whatever routine you have, whether that’s walks, feeding, or anything specific they need. I’m really attentive and patient, and I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you always know how your pet is doing.
About: I’ve had pets most of my life, I love animals and being outdoors. I’ve also rescued a few animals and have taken care of my friends and family’s pets before. I have a open schedule so wether it’s just checking or going for walks you can be sure your pet will revive the same care as my own. In general I keep them safe especially when it comes to my friends or clients. I make sure they are feed, watered, exercised, played with and most importantly they are loved.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my ability to adapt to each pet’s unique needs. I have experience with everything from energetic puppies who need consistent training and playtime, to senior dogs who require gentle care, medication, and patience. I focus on making pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable—whether it’s a long walk, structured routines, or just extra cuddles. You can count on me to treat your pet like family while keeping communication open and consistent. Being in college means I’m away from my own dog, who I cared for every day. Pet sitting helps fill that gap—I get to give other pets the same love, attention, and consistency I gave my own. I plan my days around classes so I always have plenty of time for walks, play, and cuddles. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do on the side—it’s something I genuinely miss and enjoy, which makes every visit special. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make it my priority to keep their routine consistent and stress-free. Whether that means regular walks, feeding on schedule, playtime, or administering medications, I follow your instructions closely so your pet feels safe and cared for. I’ve always been a dependable and trustworthy person—throughout high school I was an honor roll student and someone people could rely on. Now in college, I bring that same reliability and dedication to pet care, treating every pet like they’re my own.

“Jadyn stayed with my 119-pound Bernedoodle for five days, and she was absolutely amazing. She maintained regular communication throughout my trip and sent pictures, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. Knowing that she already had experience caring for large dogs made me feel very comfortable from the start. My dog was well cared for, and I could tell he was in great hands. I will definitely be booking Jadyn again for my next vacation and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.”
“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! 🥰🥰”

Your dog isn't just staying at my house, they become part of my everyday life while they're with me. At home, dogs are welcome to make themselves comfortable. They can sleep in my bed, curl up on the couch, or choose a therapeutic dog bed if they prefer their own quiet space. For food motivated dogs, I have five different dog puzzles and enjoy playing "find the treats" and other enrichment games. We also have a fenced yard for supervised play and relaxing outside. Most days include 3–4 walks, ranging from a quick 10-minute potty walk to a 30–45 minute adventure. Depending on what your dog enjoys, we may explore Peekskill's riverfront parks, walk around the neighborhood, or head to nearby wooded trails. For dogs who love water, swimming adventures may also be an option. Because I like having my guest dogs with me, they are rarely left home alone. Dogs staying with me should be comfortable riding in the car and enjoy being around people. They may join me for a visit to the horse farm where I board my horse or relax with me while I visit friends. Dogs who are happiest staying with me tend to be friendly, well-mannered, and enjoy attention, car rides, walks, and being included in everyday activities. Since my husband works from home, a dog with minimal barking is the best fit for our home. My apartment is on the second floor, so dogs must be comfortable using stairs independently or be small enough for me to safely carry if needed. A Little About Me I have over 14 years of hands-on experience with dogs. I have professional experience working in a commercial dog daycare, supervising groups of up to 30 small and medium-sized dogs as well as puppy groups. For more than five years, I also organized dog hikes throughout Westchester County, NY, and Fairfield County, CT. My experience is strongest with Golden Retrievers, Labrador Retrievers, Doodles, Cavaliers, and similar friendly companion breeds. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, oral medications, and recognizing canine body language and signs of stress. My own Golden Retriever, Kobi, was my best friend and adventure partner for over 12 years. We hiked, kayaked, visited beaches, traveled from Maine to Florida, and shared countless everyday adventures. The way I cared for Kobi is the inspiration behind the care I provide now—I want dogs staying with me to feel included, comfortable, and loved. I am also certified in Reiki and Emotion Code energy work and bring a calm, patient approach to the dogs in my care. Prefer Care in Your Own Home? Some dogs are happiest staying in their familiar environment, and I also offer overnight house sitting. With standard house sitting, your dog should be comfortable being alone for approximately 6½ hours while I work my part-time morning shift at a dog daycare in Putnam Valley (8:00 AM–1:30 PM, 4 days a week, plus travel time). If your dog needs someone present most of the day and cannot comfortably be left for more than about two hours, I may still be able to accommodate them with extended-care house sitting at $185 per night. I require a meet-and-greet before accepting a new boarding or house-sitting client so we can make sure your dog and I are a great match. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work part-time at a dog daycare and also work from home as a self-employed bookkeeper and real estate agent. My schedule is flexible, and I can choose which days I work at the daycare, allowing me to plan around the dogs in my care. My husband also works from home, so boarding dogs are rarely left home alone. This flexibility allows me to provide plenty of companionship, frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, and individual attention throughout their stay. I provide a safe, calm, and personalized environment with plenty of individual attention. My home has a fenced yard for supervised outdoor time, and I live just a 5-minute walk from wooded trails for walks and adventures. Dogs have access to a comfortable sofa, toys, and puzzle games for enrichment and mental stimulation. I live in a second-floor apartment, so dogs should be comfortable using stairs.
“Jessica and her family were the perfect hosts for our dog. We felt comfortable that our pup was with a nice family who treated her as one of their own. We received regular updates and communication was excellent.”
