“I definitely recommend Kirsten and Mark! Our dog was well cared for. They have a big fenced yard to play in and their dogs were very friendly with my dog. Kirsten sent lots of pictures of my dog playing and lounging on the couch. They were very kind, responsive with messages and were sooo nice and understanding when I had to reschedule my trip at the last minute due to illness. I think my dog had a great time there!”
“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.”
“Highly recommend Whitney and Kevin very pleasant and Spritz enjoys staying with Whitney and Kevin. They send pictures and makes you feel comfortable leaving our furbaby.”
“I found a Blue Ribbon dog sitter in Nicole! She takes my dog Poppy to her house and is very punctual in drop off and return. She says her kids love having Poppy stay with them. I feel absolutely free from any worry and Poppy loves to see me again upon return.”
“Mikayla was wonderful with my 2 dogs! She watched them for a few days while we were out of town. It was our first time using someone other than family to watch our dogs. She communicated with me daily, providing updates, photos and videos. She had no problem feeding them their raw food diet and was careful with my 7 yr old frenchie who has a few food allergies. She even made sure my 11 month old cane corso had a chance to run around the yard and get out all her puppy energy.”
“Brittany was very responsive from the beginning. She took great care of Maple, sent some pictures while we were gone and gave Maple lots of attention so we could spend the day in Cooperstown with our kids. Thanks Brittany!”
About: I’ve took care of dogs of all kinds ever since I could remember, cats too! I’ve helped many many liter of puppies and raised them! I also worked at Paws and Claws which is a doggy daycare and boarding! I can very well sense personality and what they need! I treat them like members of a family and never let them go without care. I’m currently going to college and looking for a part time job, but will always make time for your furry friend, and would be willing to move things around! I currently have a dog who loves to play and a husky who is full of energy! And two cats who are just cuddle bugs, we have a park near by so we can go play, and I can easily crate your dog if needed and have plenty plenty of toys!
About: I’m a farm girl with a lifetime of experience caring for animals of all shapes and sizes! I was a dog and cat bather for my very first job role. I’m a registered Animal Specialist with a focus on equine. I have a deep love for senior pets and their special care needs—but I’m just as excited to keep up with young pups and their zoomies. Let me know your fur baby’s unique needs so I can provide the best care while keeping their routine on track. I’m available early mornings, late afternoons, and evenings to fit your pet’s routine. Keeping their schedule consistent helps ensure a happy, stress-free day for both of you! I’m happy to help with medications and any special care your pet needs. Just provide detailed instructions, and I’ll make sure everything is followed exactly to keep your furry friend happy and healthy!
“Gil was an absolutely wonderful dog sitter. Our gigantic and sometimes nervous dog, Stella, was very well cared for and Gil sent lots of pictures of their lovely walks together. Gil met with us in advance so he could start to get to know Stella; he is obviously a caring and gentle person and she got lots of love while she was with him.”
About: I only host one pet at a time (unless they are from the same household) and when a pet guest is present they receive my undivided attention. I have been a pet mom consistently for over 20 years and self-employed for 10 which allows me the greatest gift of being with my precious critters 24/7. After losing a furry family member to cancer in early 2026, I decided that the best way to fill the huge hole in my heart was by becoming an extra-attentive and compassionate fill-in for pet parents who need temporary loving care for their beloved animals. My highest priority is to ensure a happy, healthy and safe environment (with lots of affection!) while your animal is in my care. I've had the joy of parenting a handful of senior and special needs pets over the years, and they are the nearest and dearest to my heart and soul. All reasonable requests in caring for these sweet creatures will be honored at no extra cost, including special feeding requirements, administering medications (no injections), a dedicated private bedroom for convalescing and peaceful quiet time, etc. I promise to handle all of your concerns with the utmost care and attention and treat your animal just as I would my own. I am self-employed part-time as a vacation home host which allows me the opportunity to work remotely. When pet guests are present, my time will be spent alongside your fur baby with the possible exception of a quick errand, email or a vacation home check if the stay is mid-week. The home is a cute and spacious two story, 3-bedroom Greek Revival cottage on 3 lush acres with walking trails and creek access in Delancey, NY. There are two 2-legged and one 4-legged family members for all this space, and we would love to share it with your pets. I am pet mom to a 6-year-old friendly, quirky, neutered ACD named Lou. Your pampered pets can be kept separate from Lou, and cats are offered their own exclusive area on the second floor, if necessary. Dogs are welcome to roam and to sleep anywhere in the pet-proof downstairs or in their own crate, if preferred. Guests have their choice of a raised bed with squishy blanket, an open crate with cozy poof, or the couches downstairs for overnight stays. This is a cozy, cuddly, "pets in bed" kind of household, so arrangements can be made for Lou to sleep with my hubby, and pet guests can snuggle up with me overnight, if that's what is best for your pet. While Lou is perfectly adjusted to life with cats, visiting kitties can have their own sunny bedroom, spacious bathroom with litter box, and private time upstairs.
“This was Norman’s second stay with Stephanie. She’s very flexible with pick-up and drop-off. Quick to respond and sends lots of pictures and videos. Norman loves staying with her, the family, and pups. When we arrived at her place, he was soooo excited to see her. Book her if available as she’s one of the best!”

“Dylan is a great find! it takes a brave soul with skills to take on a rambunctious energetic GSD with her greyhound friend Trinity and her side kick Pepper. Dylan did it all with skill, and knowledge and most of all caring and compassion. I was so relieved to have him at the house caring for this crew!”
About: I’ve had animals since I could walk. They have always been a part of my life. I worked at an animal shelter for a few years, working with dogs, cats, horses, and even goats. I bathed dogs, took them on walks, and even administered medicine when needed. I am currently a stay-at-home mom so I have a ton of time to spend caring and playing with your furry friends! My daughter loves animals as well and treats them with respect! I have big yard with tons of space for your dogs to roam! If you would like, I have space for their crates as well.

“Elizabeth performed brilliantly -- she completed all requests without fail and provided plenty of photographic and written responses. She was timely in arranging service initially. And she managed the visits and house key drop-off well. We appreciated her willingness to commit to providing care with short notice. Thanks!”
“Having Heidi check-in our our 3 cats gave us a lot of peace of mind while we were away. She went above and beyond to assure that they (and our plants) got the care they needed and we would entrust her to look after our kitties the next time we travel. Heidi is very experienced, friendly and responsible. We definitely recommend her!”
About: Quality pet care, mixed with love, exercise, fun, and safety. That is what I'm all about. I have loved pets since was younger, and first started working with pets as a pet sitter/dog walker. I loved getting to know fur babies and what makes them happiest. I like bringing new buddies home for Lui and mostly I like helping people have a little more time by taking amazing care of their loved ones while at work. I'm happiest when I'm with my pup Lui. He's soon to be 2 years old and still is my spoiled little boy. The love I have for Lui is the love your baby will get when booking with me. We go on walks, we learn new tricks, and get lots of exercise! The more energy the better! I've also had experience dealing with pets with anxiety or aggressive tendencies. Not new to taking my time to build trust and offering a separate space to a dog who needs it. I have cameras in my house offer peace of mind that your loved one is safe & see all the fun we have when indoors, like TV time or tug of war. It's always a fun time and I'm always here for it. I organize my schedule mostly to work with pets full time, my work occupies me from 4 AM to about noon and work 5 minutes from my house with liberty to stop in at any point. Most days I am here through the mornings too so your furry loved ones get undivided attention. I only book dogs in time blocks of 5 hours, so I am never over crowded when it comes to boarding or day care. I like to be sure each pet is taken care of personally and effectively. Pet-Sitting: Often this service for me changes based on owner preference. It requires more in depth detail about the home life of the pet. One reason for this is to ensure I am not interrupting any routines the pet may have. Boarding & Day Care: I treat all pets as if they were my very best friend. We have tv time together (Dog TV), we go on two 30 minute walks within the 5 hour time block. We even eat meals together. Being that my yard is unfenced I personally walk the dogs on leash for 30-45 minutes. Meals for pets are based on owner specifications. Overnight boarding being different in a sense of they get one night walk before bed time/wind down time. They are uncrated (unless the owner specifies to do so), so they have full use of the living area and pets are allowed to be on the furniture purchased for them (Although I am not new to waking up and them being on the couch!)

“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.”
“We'll definitely use Whitney in the future to care for our dog. A tired dog is a happy dog, and ours came home happy, not showing any stress from her day. Whitney was enthusiastic and caring, and we would have no problem in recommending her service.”
“Willow was super tired and had a great time. Kirsten and Mark knew just how to handle our high-anxiety dog. Their property is like Disney Land for dogs! Tons of space and places to explore and run around in safely. Their dogs are super friendly and welcomed Willow into their pack easily. We recommend Kirsten and Mark highly!”
“I can’t thank Gil enough for the attentiveness, caring, and love he showed to my 15 yr old dachshund! Gil took the time to listen to my wife and me when we described to him our pup’s tendencies and hinderances. We felt confident as we pulled out of the driveway that our old guy was in great hands! Gil made sure to send us photos of our pup throughout the day, as well as updates on its evacuations (very important for an older dog). Overall, I can say unequivocally that Gil was a perfect sitter for our elderly pup, and I would 100% recommend him to anyone needing a pet sitter in that area! Kudos, Gil!”
“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.”

“Dennis is personable, prompt, and flexible. He offers a variety of services for your canine companion.

About: I’ve cared for animals my entire life, from cats & dogs to fluffy chinchillas! I have special experience working with powerful breeds, including retired and aspiring K9s, as well as senior & special needs pets. My home comes equipped with accessiblity tools like pet stairs & ramps suitable for even larger dogs. Our quarter acre is unfenced, but we do have a small enclosed area off the porch & several long leads to enjoy more of the grassy lawn. Safety is paramount. I’m comfortable giving medication, following specialized diets, & assisting with mobility issues. I’m an experienced pet parent who just said goodbye to my 17 year old rescue pitbull; I’d like to open my now-too-quiet home to your beloved family members. 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️ friendly ❤️ I’m a professional writer who works exclusively from home. My flexible schedule allows me to cater to any specific needs, take all the potty breaks, and ensure both enriching play & restorative snuggles. And treats, of course!

My senior dog recently passed away but she left soft beds in every room, jars of treats, and a big basket of toys I know she’d love to share.
