“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.”
“First of all you have to be a dog person to be a great dog sitter. Kristen and Mark are just remarkable dog people! Kristen reminds me of Cesar! Very thoughtful in their approach to care. They have a wonderful safe environment with company and play and a place for calm respite. Kristen got my girl to eat on the first night away! That never happens. Thank you for the all the kind attention and videos! Really hope to pass this way again !”
“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.”
“Jenny was great! She was very easy to communicate with and flexible about the times and last minute booking. She sends a lot of pictures so you can see that your dog is having a nice trip. I would definitely recommend her!”
“Lorinda was simply amazing! She came to pick up Nova on time and consistently sent Nova's photos and videos. She is very passionate and patient with puppies as well. Having her service was a great experience for me, and I will definitely trust her again on my next trip to care for my baby.”
“I cannot say enough good things about the fantastic experience I received working with Gil. He took care of my girl like she was his own. He was in contact with me throughout the stay, making me feel very at ease, and comfortable.”

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!

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!
“We left our dog with Brittany while we went on vacation. She was very sweet and responsive and sent pictures while we were away! Definitely made me feel better about having to leave our dog behind.”
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.

“Cassandra was amazing with my Sophia who is an older dog with a few senior issues. We were kept in the loop every day on how she was adjusting to her new sitter ( including pictures) and that made me feel confident we made a great choice. I would hope Cassandra will agree to watch Sophia again when she needs boarding. Anne”
“Heather was amazing! She took care of our boy and made him feel at home with her. Kept us updated how he was doing and sent us pictures. Communication was great! She really put our mind at ease and we were able to enjoy our trip more knowing our boy was well taken care of. Above and beyond service.”
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.

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.

“Dylan is truly a dog person! We have a rescue that is a bit skittish with new people (due to her past abuse) and Dylan knew exactly how to approach her! The fact that he has been willing to get to know her even when she's a bit grumbly is greatly appreciated. Luckily our other pup, a Great Pyrenees mix, is already best buddies with him! He shows up early to bookings, always leaves us photos, is reliable and super friendly to work with! He's also very quick to let you know if he's available for a booking. I absolutely recommend Dylan as a sitter and look forward to our continued work with him!”

“Gil's calm and thoughtful demeanor immediately inspired trust. His care of my cat was flawless. I will request Gil next time I am away. I recommend Gil without reservation.”
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.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs my entire life and have had quite a bit of experience walking dogs as well as dog sitting in the past for family and friends in a variety of environments including my home as well as the homes of others. I have a passion for caring for animals and consider myself to be very in tune with their needs. I currently have 3 large dogs and a cat, and have also had small dogs in the past. Whether it’s walking dogs, looking after them in your home or anything else that you may need for your pets, I’m happy to do it all. I love to see animals happy, healthy and well cared for and am excited to be a contributing factor in doing that for your pet.
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!)
About: Who better than a veterinarian to take care of your best buddies while you're away? I am a new DVM graduate, and am happy to take care of your pets, no matter how old or young, especially those with special needs! I am certified in dog/cat CPR, and am comfortable providing any care needed. *Please note*: My providing pet sitting/dog walking/pet care services does NOT constitute a VCPR, and I cannot provide medical advice unless a VCPR is explicitly established in accordance with NY State Law* I prefer to stay in the client's home especially for dogs as this is generally much more comfortable for the dog to stay in their own environment. For overnight stays, I like to meet the dogs beforehand with owners present. This way they are assured it is okay to have me in their space for staying with them.

“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!”
“Kevin and Whitney were great! Our dog had a great time and we were sent pictures of him and updates throughout the day. Next time we’re in the area we will definitely use them again. Thank you!”
“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.”
“This was my dog's first time with a Rover sitter. Lorinda did her best to get him settled. She understood he was not wanting to be social. She got her chair and stayed by him while he was in her fenced area. Couldn't ask for more.”

About: I have over 7 years of hands-on animal care experience, including running my own dog walking business for 2 years and ongoing work in farm animal rescue. I had two dogs of my own for over 15 years and have cared for many rescue dogs with a wide range of personalities and needs. I’m patient, reliable, and especially comfortable with shy, nervous, or high-energy dogs. I focus on keeping pets safe, comfortable, and on their normal routine while they’re in my care. I do have cats in my home, so dogs staying with me should be cat-friendly. References are available upon request. “Pet care is a central part of my daily routine. I work part-time overnight, which means I’m home and available throughout the day for walks, supervision, and consistent care. I also run a nonprofit animal rescue from my home, so caring for animals is something I’m actively doing every day. My routine is built around feeding schedules, exercise, cleaning, and making sure each animal gets individual attention. Because of this, I’m very used to managing different needs while keeping a calm, structured environment.” depends on each pet’s routine and comfort level, but I always aim to keep things as consistent and low-stress as possible. In my home, I provide a calm, structured environment with regular feeding schedules, exercise, and plenty of supervision throughout the day. Dogs get daily walks, enrichment, and individual attention. I take introductions slowly and make sure everyone is safe and comfortable. In a client’s home, I stick closely to your pet’s normal routine—feeding, walks, playtime, and any medications if needed—while also keeping your home clean and respected. I pay attention to behavior and body language and adjust care based on what each pet needs. My goal is always to make pets feel secure and well cared for, whether they’re in my home or staying in theirs
“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!”
“Heather was great with my little guy. I was heading to Cooperstown for a few hours and needed a place for him to stay while I was out and about. Heather sent me pictures and updates the few hours she had him. If you’re ever in the area, I highly recommend using Heather to watch your dog!”

I appreciated his very thoughtful observation of my dog’s body language, behavior, and preference cues - Elliot can take a moment to warm up to new friends and lives to play with his flirt stick. I would, without reservation, recommend Dennis as your walker, play date companion, and house sitter.”

I have also had experience taking care of dry eye. I do not mind giving medicine to your pet as long as I have clear instructions. Please let me know if I can be of service! I do work full time during the day, but I am more than happy to make time for your pet whenever I can. We can try and arrange something. Please let me know if I can be of service.

“Cassandra was amazing with my Sophia who is an older dog with a few senior issues. We were kept in the loop every day on how she was adjusting to her new sitter ( including pictures) and that made me feel confident we made a great choice. I would hope Cassandra will agree to watch Sophia again when she needs boarding. Anne”
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! I have a fenced potty area off my porch for easy quick breaks, and several long leads for exploring the unfenced portions of the property. 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.
“Melissa was great. Our dog loves her. She took us last minute due to us having a family emergency. She asked awesome questions ti understand our dog more. Honestly I don't think he cared that we left Definitely gonna use her again.”
