“She is truly amazing. She instantly made me feel at ease leaving our baby. Very communicative, daily updates with photos and videos. She goes above and beyond. Our baby suffers from allergies, and she was great with keeping up medications and updates on symptoms. It was his first birthday not at home with us, and she went out of her way to ensure his day was special and got him special birthday treats. She made him feel comfortable, very loving and truly caring. I can tell she has a big heart, and really has a love for animals, I saw she really cared. It was so nice to see, she eased my mind, especially as I tend to over worry about him, and he was very happy with her as so were we. We would DEFINITELY rebook. I cannot thank her enough for her care, love, attentiveness she had for our baby Guinness.”
“Sandra was great with my Zeus. She kept me informed of his actions and took care of him while I was away. My dog is anxious, so it meant a lot that she cared and connected with him. I will use her services again.”
“This is the second time we leave our pup with Daniel and he's officially our go-to sitter. He and his wife give and show much care and the communication/business side of things always runs smooth. Thanks again Daniel! Till the next time 👋”
“Left my dog with Carla for 4 days and I can't complain. My dog was fine even though it's very shy and scared of other people. I would leave my dog with Carla again if I need to.”
“Cindy was the best! Would highly recommend. We were in a tight because our son's surgery was rescheduled for earlier than expected and she agreed to watch our dog Remy very last minute. She was thorough in understanding his feeding/sleeping/bathroom needs and sent pics of him during his stay! She was easy to reach at all times and responded very quickly. She took him out for walks and played with him indoors when the weather got bad. We are grateful for such a caring thorough sitter and will definitely be reaching out to her to watch our Remy again. Thank you, Cindy!!!!!”
“Amy not only came through on very short notice, she was kind, professional and accommodating. Tango - who had only been sat by family members prior to this - immediately felt comfortable and welcome. He had a ball, was well cared for and even got a bath and nail trim for an extremely reasonable additional charge. Amy is close to the retreat we were on, which was part of the reason why we chose her, but I would seriously consider making the 2-hour trip to her if Tango needed sitting again, regardless of her proximity to where I was going.”
“Jillian was great with our dog Rufus! He loved the freedom of the large fenced in backyard that he could freely roam and run around in with Jillian's two dogs! Rufus made new friends! We highly recommend Jillian and will definitely book with Jillan again soon!”
“Sonia 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 parents’ questions. Would book again.”
About: I've been caring for dogs since middle school, including over 12 years of hands-on experience caring for my own dog, Aubrey. I've also had family, friends, and neighbors rely on me to walk, feed, groom, and care for their pets. Over the years, I've gained experience with dogs of many sizes, breeds, and personalities, including Golden Retrievers, mixed breeds, Yorkshire Terriers, hounds, Chihuahuas, and Corgis. I especially enjoy caring for senior pets and making sure they receive the patience, attention, and affection they deserve. I like spending quality time with them, grooming them, observing their behavior and how they're doing, and making sure they're comfortable and cared for. I've also expanded my experience through volunteer work with Rockland Orange Furrever Homes and the Hudson Valley SPCA, where I've worked with shelter animals and gained additional experience observing animal behavior and providing hands-on care. Whether your pet needs a good walk, a meal, some grooming, companionship, or simply someone who will give them plenty of love and attention, I want them to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away. I currently have a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I enjoy making time for walks, play, grooming, companionship, and simply getting to know each pet's personality and routine. I'm able to be flexible with my availability and want every pet in my care to feel comfortable, safe, and loved. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping them safe, comfortable, and following their normal routine as closely as possible. I make sure doors, gates, and other exits are secure, provide fresh water and meals according to the owner's instructions, and give pets plenty of attention and exercise. I also pay close attention to their behavior and overall condition so I can recognize anything unusual and communicate concerns to their owner. During walks, I use safe handling practices and stay aware of the pet's surroundings, other animals, and potential hazards. I want every pet to feel comfortable and cared for while their owner is away.
“Julia did a wonderful job taking excellent care of Sunny while we went out of town! Knowing he was with her allowed us to really enjoy our vacation. She sent us pictures and videos each day, which we greatly appreciated! I highly recommend her! Thank you, Julia!”
“David took great care of Tully and she came home happy and tuckered out from her weekend vacation. He was very responsive with communication and took her on short notice after my previously booked sitter canceled.”
“When I take my dogs to the vet or groomers, they know within a mile where we're headed and they start crying. I have to practically pull them out the vehicle to go inside. When I'm taking them to Jane's, they know where we're headed with a mile and they start going nuts! They cannot wait to get out the vehicle and will pull my arm off trying to get in her house. They absolutely love being there and that, to me, is comfort beyond words.”
About: Hello all! I’m Michael, and I looking forward to caring for your pup. I’m experienced with all ages and I treat every pup like part of the family. (Due to my current living situation, I am ONLY allowed to dog board/house-sit hypoallergenic dogs or dogs that shed minimally.) Let’s connect! My availability varies throughout the week but I can be more than flexible to accommodate your pets needs. Whether it’s taking your dog for a quick walk or boarding for a weekend, I’m your guy. I care for pets by trying to keep a clean environment at all times. Cleanliness is very important to me as I find it very important for general health.
“We only used Arsenii once so far but will definitely be going back. Oscar has a bit of separation anxiety but Arsenii's place provides a relaxed vibe and Oscar made himself right at home.”
“Melissa and her entire family were great. Our highly energetic Australian Shepherd had a wonderful stay. Melissa sent us updates including pictures and videos. Bailey was walked and had play time with several other dogs. We had great confidence in leaving our dog with Melissa and we would highly recommend her to anyone looking for care.”
“We used Morgan, and actually Rover.com, for the first time. My husband dropped off Laska (our hound mix rescue dog), and noticed that she seemed happy to go with Morgan. For us, this is a big deal because she's been through a lot. When we used the kennel Laska would fight us going in, and would come home stressed out and completely out of it. This was not the case after picking up Laska from Morgan's. Laska was clean, happy, and not stressed out! This was a first for her! Laska did have some separation anxiety, so she chewed her bed up. That was our fault because we forgot to tell Morgan about the routine that we have when we leave the house. As a result, we thought Morgan would tell us that she wouldn't watch Laska again, but to our delight, Morgan said she will take her in the future.”

“Mallory is extremely loving to our pets and has put us at ease with leaving our senior dog and senior cat in the care of someone other than family. This allows my pets to stay in the comfort of there own and reduces so much stress on them. She is friendly and trustworthy and we are so happy we found her here!”
“Nicole did a great job looking after our cat, Warren! She was responsive and sent plenty of pictures. We always get nervous leaving him alone for extended periods of time. But having her visit him gave us peace of mind. Would highly recommend Nicole to anyone looking for pet care in the greenwood lake area!”
“Vicky is an excellent pet sitter. She let us know about changes in our pet’s behavior. She is great about keeping things neat and following special feeding instructions. Plus I think our cat 🐈 loves her.”
About: Hi, I'm James your new best friend. I am a new dad and dog dad. I have been caring for loved ones pets for years and want to be able to share my love for animals with you all. I have a 1 furry friend "Mocha" but have had lots of experience with dogs, cats and other critters! I'm looking forward to sharing my all my love with your loved ones!
About: I take pride in my work and strive to treat each and every animal I care for as I would my own personal pets. I personally understand how difficult it can be to trust someone with your furry family members and do my best to make the experience as amazing as possible for both pets and pet parents. I have worked in the pet care industry for over ten years now. I began dog walking in NYC, then managed a luxury boarding/daycare facility for dogs in East Syracuse. Since then I have also branched out into working in animal rescue as well. I also am currently pursuing a certification in dog training. I currently work for myself so my hours are flexible. I can accommodate dog walking most mornings, afternoons and nights. I currently offer in home boarding but limit it to three dogs per night to ensure the best quality of care. I understand that allowing someone into your home to care for your pet can be nerve racking, so I strive to be as mindful of this as possible. Some of the ways I ensure I do this are by speaking with the client before hand to go over anything specific they need done, entering the home in a safe and respectful manner, greeting the pet I'm caring for with enthusiasm, creating a bond with them & making the experience as fun and stress free as possible.
“Dallas went above the call of duty spending time with our cats, sending detailed reports, and lots of great photos of our furry friends! We highly recommend her and will use her again!”
About: I grew up on a dairy farm with all sorts of animals around. I have had many dogs, cats, parrots, chickens, rabbits, rats, and horses over the years. I have a degree in Equestrian Science and have taken care of animals my entire adult life. I have always been an avid hiker as well and love to take the pups on walks around the area. I currently own 3 dogs, a parrot, and 2 chickens and will give your animals the same love and attention that I give my own! I'm currently working part time and so have plenty of time to play with your fur babies. I am currently available for house sitting, drop in visits and dog walking. If your dogs get along with mine I might be able to do boarding as well. I have a dog door at my house with a fenced in yard along with 5 acres of fields to walk in. When coming to your home, I use my deep knowlege of dogs, cats, and other animals to keep your animals happy in their own home where your pets are MOST comfortable. They have the comfort of knowing they are safe in a place where they can learn to trust me and we can develop a bond so I can give your pets the same level of love and care as I would give my own pets.
“It was our first time using rover so we didn’t know what to expect but we couldn’t have been happier! Julia is fantastic! We will be using her whenever she’s available.”
“Bridget was wonderful to that my pets were fed and even went out of her way to search my apartment to find my binding cat. Highly recommend her. She is truly a professional in her field will definitely use her again thanks Bridget for your service.”
“If in doubt for a sitter do not hesitate to contact Jennifer. She is responsible for what is requested as well as reliable for any additional considerations. I would not doubt her willfulness to be there for your fur babies.”
“I was very happy with my overall experience with Rover. It was easy to set up and choose someone to care for my 2 cats when I was out of town. Nancy was great! She came when she said she would and gave me updates at each visit. When I came home, the house was so calm and peaceful. The cats were safe, fed and happy. I would definitely recommend Nancy and will use her again in the future. Thanks! :) Rose G.”
About: I have extensive experience caring for cats, which has been a central part of my life since childhood. Growing up in a family that rescued and cared for stray cats, I have had the privilege of looking after up to 11 cats at a time, giving me a comprehensive understanding of their needs and behaviors. Over the years, I’ve cared for cats of all ages, including elderly cats with special needs. I understand the unique challenges of providing care for senior cats, such as administering medication, managing age-related health issues, and offering extra comfort and attention to maintain their well-being. Whether it's ensuring they have a quiet, safe environment or helping them adjust to physical limitations, I approach elderly cat care with patience, compassion, and an understanding of their individual needs. Throughout my life, I've consistently demonstrated a commitment to the health, happiness, and emotional well-being of every cat in my care. I believe in creating a nurturing environment that promotes their comfort and security, whether they are playful kittens or senior cats in need of extra attention.

“This was my first time using Rover and actually my first time leaving my dog with anyone for more than an hour (besides the vet). We were traveling and staying at an Airbnb so we could do a day at Legoland. I was nervous, but everything went great! Bailey immediately took to Amy's assistant who came out to greet us and happily went with her, which is not something he would do with most people. She sent a video and some photos while we were at the park, which was a huge relief to know he was doing okay. I would definitely recommend Amy and am much more at ease using Rover again.”
“If I could give Dawn 100 stars I would!! She was AMAZING taking care of my little Yeti. She was communicating and sending beautiful pictures of him all day. He never eats at strange locations, and he even ate with her. She has a sixth sense for animals!! I'd recommend her everyday.”
“Alexis was AMAZING! My German Shepard has a lot of anxiety when I leave her and she was right at home with Alexis. I was sent photos throughout the stay which was great and picked up a very happy pup! I will be a repeating customer after this great experience!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Sandra, our Rover sitter! Our dogs were clearly well cared for, and the little extra touches made it even more special — they came home with a star and a goodie bag, which was such a thoughtful surprise. Communication was great, I received pictures and a video of their day. We would absolutely book again!”

“Julia was so amazing with my 4 month old puppy Hawthorne. She invited me into her home to show me the space and it made me feel so much more at ease. She was very communicative and shared lots of updates during his stay. I’m looking forward to booking with her again very soon!”
About: I have 15+ years of experience boarding and caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and personalities, providing a safe and loving environment for dogs has been a part of my life for many years. My family has a long history of boarding and breeding hunting dogs through established bloodlines in Scotland, giving me experience with dogs and their individual personalities from an early age. I intentionally board no more than three guest dogs at a time. Keeping our guest list small allows me to provide personalized attention and gives each dog the opportunity to settle into our home and become part of the family during their stay. 🏡 A true home-away-from-home: I don't routinely use cages or kennels. Our guests are welcome to freely roam and enjoy the home just like our own resident dog, Benji does. If your dog is crate-trained and you prefer that their normal crate routine be maintained, we're happy to accommodate that as well. 🐾Room to explore: My home sits on two acres with a beautiful pond, and walking trails offering plenty of interesting sights and smells for supervised outdoor adventures and potty breaks. 🌳Right on the Heritage Trail: I am fortunate to be located directly along the Heritage Trail, making it easy to incorporate leashed walks, fresh air, exercise, and plenty of sniffing into our guests' stays. 🐶 All shapes, sizes & personalities welcome: From little pups to gentle giants, energetic personalities to professional couch loungers, we understand that every dog is different. I do take the time to learn your dog's routine, personality, preferences, and comfort level. 📸 You'll receive photos and updates throughout your dog's stay, so you can see how they're doing and enjoy your time away with peace of mind. 🚗 Transportation is also available for an additional fee, depending on location, and I am happy to accommodate extended stays of 7+ nights. My goal is simple: provide a warm, comfortable place where your dog can enjoy their own little vacation while you're enjoying yours. Rest assured, during your pups stay they will be only with a familiar face, Benji the house resident and myself :)❤️🐾 Pet care is a natural part of our everyday routine. Because I welcome a maximum of only three guest dogs at a time, I'm able to give each pup plenty of individual attention throughout the day. Our guests enjoy regular leashed walks and potty breaks, including walks along the beautiful Heritage Trail located right by our home. There is plenty of time for play, exploring, naps, cuddles, and simply relaxing with us around the house. I do my best to maintain each dog's normal feeding, sleeping, walking, and medication schedule so their stay feels as comfortable and familiar as possible. I also welcome extended stays of 7+ nights and offer transportation for an additional fee when needed. My home is located on two beautiful acres with a pond and direct access to the Heritage Trail, giving your dog plenty of opportunities for supervised outdoor time, adventurous sniffs, and leashed walks. Inside, I provide a cage-free, home-style environment. Guest dogs have free roam of my home and are treated like part of the family rather than being kept in kennels. I will use a crate if an owner requests it because that is what their dog is accustomed to at home. I accept dogs of all sizes and personalities and take time to learn about each dog’s temperament, routine, habits, and individual needs before their stay. I limit boarding to a maximum of three guest dogs at a time so I can provide close supervision and personalized attention. With more than 15 years of dog-boarding and care experience, creating a safe, loving, and comfortable environment is always my priority. Owners also receive regular photos and updates while they’re away. I encourage clients parents to check in whenever they would like - even a facetime here and there would be nice!
“Cindy was great! She was able to take wilson last notice and was very thorough making sure she knew his feeding and potty schedule. Her daughters were wonderful playing with him and petting him too! Highly recommend”
“David was wonderful and very loving to my pet dog Patches. He was kind and calm and Patches took to him immediately. My pet usually doesn’t want to eat with sitters but David got him to eat no problem. I would highly recommend him!!!! Thank you David!!”
“Alexis is THE BEST. She always comes through last minute and our dog Omelette loves her. I trust her completely with my girl and would recommend her to anyone. Thank you Alexis!”
“Isabell is great. She took the time to make sure my Abby was comfortable with everything and everybody. I used her during a medical procedure I was having and she made me feel so comfortable leaving my dog in such a great environment it took a lot of stress off me. Can’t say enough good things about Isabell and her family”
“Chris was very chill, cool, and communicative. We were only gone for a few hours at the nearby Storm King Art Center but got plenty of photos and our puppy looked happy. She was smiling.”
“We've used Morgan twice - once for day care then boarded her overnight a few days later. Our puppy Chelsea loves going to Morgan's and came back from her overnight looking happy and well. When she got out of the car at Morgan's house for her second stay there, she ran to greet Morgan and was excited to go inside. When we picked her up the next day, she was being very affectionate with Morgan. Not sure what more anyone can ask for from a dog-sitter.”
“Nina did an awesome job taking care of Duke. When I picked him up he was smiling, and then immediately fell a asleep in the car. He was a very happy puppy and I would definitely use Nina again in the future!”
“David was great with our two dogs!! He gave them excellent and attentive care with plenty of updates and photos. I felt peace knowing they were comfortable and safe!”
About: I have over 16 years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all sizes, temperaments, and needs. I’ve supported dogs through daily care, feeding routines, long walks, playtime, medication administration, and providing comfort while their owners are away. I’m highly intuitive, attentive, and patient, making animals feel safe, calm, and cared for in their own environment. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, and I take pride in adapting my care to meet their individual needs. Whether it’s an energetic pup who loves adventure or a more sensitive pet who needs a gentle presence, I create a nurturing, reliable experience for both pets and their owners. I offer a flexible schedule and am available for mornings, afternoons, evenings, and overnight care. I’m open to weekday and weekend bookings and can accommodate consistent routines or last-minute requests when needed. I provide an attentive, respectful care in clients’ homes, following routines closely, maintaining a calm environment, and ensuring pets feel safe, loved, comfortable, and secure.

“Alexa is beyond great! She is a pitbull aficionado and I’m sure she knows a lot about other dogs as well. I feel blessed to have found her! My dog absolutely loves her! She knows so much about dogs that I’m learning from her. Thank you so much Rover for getting us together. I am beyond grateful.”

About: I have many years of experience living with and caring for a variety of animals of all ages. I've had cats in my own home my entire life and have owned dogs as well for the last 10 years. Neighbors and friends have trusted me with caring for their pets since I was 12 years old. I've also cared for horses and competed in the equestrian sport for over 20 years, which requires a high level of responsibility and discipline. All of this experience has allowed me to develop a great understanding of animal behavior, communication, and basic training concepts. You can trust me to safely care for your furry loved ones as if they were my own with lots of love, cuddles, and play! Im available with a schedule that is flexible during the week and on weekends - please check with me for my current availability for bookings! I can adapt to the needs of your pet whether it is caring for an indoor cat who needs food, water, litter, and attention, or a dog who needs to be walked around the neighborhood or exercised with a game of fetch in a safe fenced in area. I will always allow the animal to lead in establishing a trusting relationship with me. I have enough experience to identify signs of distress in an emergency and can also apply basic training methods in a warranted situation while walking a dog on a leash in order to keep everyone safe.

“Julia was terrific! She showed up for a last minute request. She was friendly, prompt and flexible. My dog was very comfortable with her at the outset. I was so impressed that since she needed to address something at home she offered to take my dog with her rather than give me less than the full hour walk.”
“Maddy was excellent! I booked her as a walker when I was in a pickle last minute, she is very kind and quick to respond. She also makes the extra effort to make sure your fur baby is taken care of, the way I, as an owner would want. Definitely would recommend!”
“Natisha is a very rare find. If you’re wondering whether to book her or not do yourself and your fur babies a favor and just do it. We are two medical professionals and our schedules suddenly overlapped in a way that our bully girl needed someone to take care of her twice a week in the middle of the day. Natisha to the rescue! So responsive, so responsible, so punctual, so loving and caring to our girl! Now we’ve permanently retained her twice a week. Five stars isn’t enough stars for Natisha’s service.”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Shannon and Justin have been absolutely wonderful with our puppy, Aria! They are reliable, communicative, and clearly care so much about the dogs they look after. We always feel at ease knowing Aria is in such good hands. She gets plenty of attention, playtime, and care during their visits, and they give us great updates each time. It’s such a relief to know we can trust them when we’re at work or away. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for dependable and loving pet sitters!”
About: As a lifelong animal lover, I have multiple years experience caring for dogs, cats, pocketpets, rabbits, fish, parakeets, reptiles and chickens. I also have experience providing care in a rabbit/cat/small animal rescue and in stables so I am very well rounded when it comes to all manner of pet care. I am comfortable walking, feeding, playing, etc. Currently my schedule is generally Monday-Friday 8:00am-5:00pm with a bit of leeway here and there. I can do walks and drop ins on evenings and weekends. Knowing what your pet needs in advance makes it easier for me to set my upcoming schedule to accommodate them. And as an added bonus when it comes to working from home: House sitting is a breeze! I am able to give tons of attention during the work day and use my breaks to take pups out for walks and play time. For my own pets I have two cats and guinea pigs. The guinea pigs have a large cage in my spare room/office and there is plenty of room to board other pocket pets if need be. For other people's pets I will absolutely treat them with the same care and attention as my own. I understand that each pet and family is different so I will use your guidance and details to know exactly what your pet needs to make them happy and comfortable!

“She is truly amazing. She instantly made me feel at ease leaving our baby. Very communicative, daily updates with photos and videos. She goes above and beyond. Our baby suffers from allergies, and she was great with keeping up medications and updates on symptoms. It was his first birthday not at home with us, and she went out of her way to ensure his day was special and got him special birthday treats. She made him feel comfortable, very loving and truly caring. I can tell she has a big heart, and really has a love for animals, I saw she really cared. It was so nice to see, she eased my mind, especially as I tend to over worry about him, and he was very happy with her as so were we. We would DEFINITELY rebook. I cannot thank her enough for her care, love, attentiveness she had for our baby Guinness.”
“Left my dog with Carla for 4 days and I can't complain. My dog was fine even though it's very shy and scared of other people. I would leave my dog with Carla again if I need to.”
“Cindy was the best! Would highly recommend. We were in a tight because our son's surgery was rescheduled for earlier than expected and she agreed to watch our dog Remy very last minute. She was thorough in understanding his feeding/sleeping/bathroom needs and sent pics of him during his stay! She was easy to reach at all times and responded very quickly. She took him out for walks and played with him indoors when the weather got bad. We are grateful for such a caring thorough sitter and will definitely be reaching out to her to watch our Remy again. Thank you, Cindy!!!!!”
“Amy not only came through on very short notice, she was kind, professional and accommodating. Tango - who had only been sat by family members prior to this - immediately felt comfortable and welcome. He had a ball, was well cared for and even got a bath and nail trim for an extremely reasonable additional charge. Amy is close to the retreat we were on, which was part of the reason why we chose her, but I would seriously consider making the 2-hour trip to her if Tango needed sitting again, regardless of her proximity to where I was going.”
“Julia did a wonderful job taking excellent care of Sunny while we went out of town! Knowing he was with her allowed us to really enjoy our vacation. She sent us pictures and videos each day, which we greatly appreciated! I highly recommend her! Thank you, Julia!”
“David took great care of Tully and she came home happy and tuckered out from her weekend vacation. He was very responsive with communication and took her on short notice after my previously booked sitter canceled.”
“We only used Arsenii once so far but will definitely be going back. Oscar has a bit of separation anxiety but Arsenii's place provides a relaxed vibe and Oscar made himself right at home.”

That was our fault because we forgot to tell Morgan about the routine that we have when we leave the house. As a result, we thought Morgan would tell us that she wouldn't watch Laska again, but to our delight, Morgan said she will take her in the future.”
“Kelvin and Monica were wonderful. Great communication and lots and lots of pictures, which helped put me at ease! My babies seemed very happy. This is definitely a bulldog house and will absolutely be using them again!!!”
“Annie is great. I had to do a quick trip and leave my dog with her for a week. I have a stubborn Shiba Inu and she was great with her. She took her time to understand her. She was always updating me throughout her stay. Definitely recommend her.”
“David was great with my 2 big German Shepards. He listened to my concerned and was very attentive. I got updates thru the night along with photos and my dogs seemed genuinely happy. Definitely will be using again and recommend 100%.”
“Our Havanese, George, stayed with Debra last week. He had a blast! We got daily pictures and videos and he was a very happy and well-exercised dog when we picked him up! The dogs get a lot of love and Debra's house and property are wonderfully set up for their stay. She was very thorough in getting to know George ahead of his visit, making sure she knew his medical history/needs, his habits, his diet, personality etc before he stayed with her. George will definitely be coming back in the future. Would highly recommend!”
“This was my first time using rover and I could not have been happier. Fiona was so sweet and treated my Lucy like her own! I felt at ease knowing she was in good hands while we were out of town. I’ll definitely be using her again!!”
About: I have 15+ years of experience boarding and caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and personalities, providing a safe and loving environment for dogs has been a part of my life for many years. My family has a long history of boarding and breeding hunting dogs through established bloodlines in Scotland, giving me experience with dogs and their individual personalities from an early age. I intentionally board no more than three guest dogs at a time. Keeping our guest list small allows me to provide personalized attention and gives each dog the opportunity to settle into our home and become part of the family during their stay. 🏡 A true home-away-from-home: I don't routinely use cages or kennels. Our guests are welcome to freely roam and enjoy the home just like our own resident dog, Benji does. If your dog is crate-trained and you prefer that their normal crate routine be maintained, we're happy to accommodate that as well. 🐾Room to explore: My home sits on two acres with a beautiful pond, and walking trails offering plenty of interesting sights and smells for supervised outdoor adventures and potty breaks. 🌳Right on the Heritage Trail: I am fortunate to be located directly along the Heritage Trail, making it easy to incorporate leashed walks, fresh air, exercise, and plenty of sniffing into our guests' stays. 🐶 All shapes, sizes & personalities welcome: From little pups to gentle giants, energetic personalities to professional couch loungers, we understand that every dog is different. I do take the time to learn your dog's routine, personality, preferences, and comfort level. 📸 You'll receive photos and updates throughout your dog's stay, so you can see how they're doing and enjoy your time away with peace of mind. 🚗 Transportation is also available for an additional fee, depending on location, and I am happy to accommodate extended stays of 7+ nights. My goal is simple: provide a warm, comfortable place where your dog can enjoy their own little vacation while you're enjoying yours. Rest assured, during your pups stay they will be only with a familiar face, Benji the house resident and myself :)❤️🐾 Pet care is a natural part of our everyday routine. Because I welcome a maximum of only three guest dogs at a time, I'm able to give each pup plenty of individual attention throughout the day. Our guests enjoy regular leashed walks and potty breaks, including walks along the beautiful Heritage Trail located right by our home. There is plenty of time for play, exploring, naps, cuddles, and simply relaxing with us around the house. I do my best to maintain each dog's normal feeding, sleeping, walking, and medication schedule so their stay feels as comfortable and familiar as possible. I also welcome extended stays of 7+ nights and offer transportation for an additional fee when needed. My home is located on two beautiful acres with a pond and direct access to the Heritage Trail, giving your dog plenty of opportunities for supervised outdoor time, adventurous sniffs, and leashed walks. Inside, I provide a cage-free, home-style environment. Guest dogs have free roam of my home and are treated like part of the family rather than being kept in kennels. I will use a crate if an owner requests it because that is what their dog is accustomed to at home. I accept dogs of all sizes and personalities and take time to learn about each dog’s temperament, routine, habits, and individual needs before their stay. I limit boarding to a maximum of three guest dogs at a time so I can provide close supervision and personalized attention. With more than 15 years of dog-boarding and care experience, creating a safe, loving, and comfortable environment is always my priority. Owners also receive regular photos and updates while they’re away. I encourage clients parents to check in whenever they would like - even a facetime here and there would be nice!
“I chose pet sitter Michael W in New City NY to care for my cat this past weekend. He and his family provided an extraordinarily safe, comfortable, clean, calm, and accommodating setting within their luxurious spotless residence and property nestled within a quiet and exclusive neighborhood far from heavy traffic and any other threatening exposures. New City is well known for low crime and safety thanks to it's most reliable law enforcement and emergency services. My opinion is that I found the perfect match for any cat or dog and I will choose Michaei for my future pet boarding needs hands down.”
“Beckie and her family were the perfect home away from home for our high-energy 2yo German Shepherd. She has a beautiful and massive back yard and provided photo updates throughout the stay. We’ll happily trust Beckie with Echo on future trips and highly recommend her!”
