“Pam was great. She posted a lot of pictures to let us know Luna was having fun and communicated daily. You could tell she had a lot of experience with dogs and with petting sitting/boarding. We would definitely use Pam again for the next time we go out of town.”
“We had a great experience with Kate! Our dog, Sampson, stayed in her home and was very well cared for. Communication was easy and consistent, and we felt completely comfortable knowing our pup was in good hands. Sampson is pretty easygoing, but it was clear he was treated with attention and kindness. We will definitely book with them again.”

“Our pup was well loved and cared for during her stay! Rosemarie and her entire family (pups included) were so welcoming and clearly love inviting dogs into their home (with a great fenced in yard). We will certainly book again!”

“Lucienne was such an amazing help with my one year old cat. My cat, Juno, stayed with Lucienne for almost a month and I got many updates, photos, and videos which eased my anxiety when I was away. Lucienne was very easy to reach whenever I had questions or concerns which was amazing and she always responded quickly. I’m sure Juno will miss her. I definitely recommend Lucienne!”

“Kyle was great! He kept his word regarding caring for our 2 dogs on a holiday weekend. He evaluated for a good fit prior to committing just as we did for a sitter. He was not only comfortable with my very large dog but, understood their behaviors. He provided updates and was extremely easy to communicate with. Would definitely recommend.”

“We left our Boston Terrier, George, with Nicole for two weeks. Throughout our vacation, Nicole sent updates and photos to let us know how he was doing. He looked quite happy in all the photos, and the updates helped me to not worry. Upon our return, George was very excited to see me, and did not show any signs of being stressed during his stay. He seems to have been well cared for. I am very pleased with Nicole and her care for George. We’ll be booking her again in January for another two weeks.”

“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.”

My husband and I were both immediately comfortable with Rachel at our in person visit. We came home to happy kittens and clean litter boxes. We will definitely rebook with Rachel again in the future!”

“We can always count on Maria to take care of our 2 cats while we’re away. This is our third time with her and we trust her completely, she has done an amazing job every time! A bonus is she sends the best pictures of your pets while you’re away - which we really appreciate since we miss them so much! Thank you Maria!”


About: I do love dogs but. I am a cat person. I travel for work so I haven't gotten another since my last three years ago. My best friend told me she still can't believe I haven't because "Jill" and "cats" are like "peanut butter and jelly" in her head. I got my last two cats, a brother and sister, as kittens in high school and loved them so hard for 12 and 15 years. Max had three urinary blockages and after the last, he just couldn't bounce back. And Jinx had kidney disease that progressed to failure. So I have some experience with prescription food and medications as well as giving subcutaneous fluids. Definitely wasn't my favorite but I would have done anything for my kitties and would do the same for another's.

“Hallie is incredible! We had her house sit for our cats and truly just expected her to spend the nights with them but she also spent lots of time during the day too. She also gives really detailed info and lots of pictures. All of which made us feel like our boys were well cared for and we could just enjoy our vacation. Highly recommend Hallie!”

About: I have had dogs, cats, puppies in my life since I was born. I have had the pleasure of training all types of dogs in many different areas. When I was younger my family used to always take trips up to Marthas Vineyard, we always had to leave our dogs at a kennel which we realized later on was not the best thing to do for our dogs. Emotionally/mentally we could tell it had taken a toll on them, so we started leaving them home with Pet Sitters. That was the best decision we had made. I want to be able to provide the same love and care that our pet sitters have provided in the past, but for your pet! Im currently working privately as a Personal Trainer and a Hypnotherapist Practitioner so my schedule is quite flexible. I also offer Reiki for both people and pets (Dogs, Cats, Horses)!!! I don’t typically board pets but would be willing to work with someone if the situation was right. I am also willing and able to crate your pet if thats something you do in your home!

“Timothy was a great sitter for our elderly cat. He was patient, kind and easily administered medication for our fur guy. We absolutely will hire Timothy again when we’re out of town and know our cat Stoopy would be in good hands.”


“Ebony is outstanding! She went above and beyond!! She is professional and warm. My pup absolutely loves her. We will be using her again! She communicated well with us about our pup too! I highly recommend Ebony!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Patterson
“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!”

“I have been taking my two dogs to Stephen for daycare every week for a few months now and I am very happy with the care he provides to my pups. He is very reliable, attentive and kind. My dogs love him and feel very comfortable in his house. I feel very lucky to have found him.”

About: Hello! My name is Daphne. Since I was a little girl, I have had a huge passion and love for dogs. I have grown up with bully breeds for my entire life. From Rottweilers to Pit bulls, to American Bulldogs. I currently have an Olde English Bulldog who is the princess of our family. I have a huge love for dogs but specifically bully breeds. I understand how strong they are when going for walks and how much love they have to give. I have experience working at a dog kennel in Putnam Valley taking care of multiple dogs at a time, big and small. I also take care of my neighbors 3 black labs when she is away multiple times a year. I currently work remote so I am available any time during the weekday. I do require a few days advanced noticed so I can plan my schedule! I am able to provide fresh food and water for dogs. I will also ensure dogs get regular walks and exercise as per their usual routine.
“Brody had a great time meeting Alison and Jack. It was calm and clean when we got there. Brody was only there for a meet and greet (2.5 hrs). When I got back he was really happy to see me!”

“Rachel was amazing with our deaf pup, Hazel! She was so communicative and made us feel comfortable. Hazel had a wonderful time at daycare! Would recommend Rachel to everyone!”

“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!”


“Irene and family are awesome caregivers for our dog, Tater Tot, who is always extremely excited to be dropped off. Tater Tot is blind and has separation anxiety and they have been very accommodating in supporting her. I’m thankful to have them be able to take care of her.”


“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!”
“It was my first time using this app, and definitely I am happy I did with Brittany. She is so lovely, gentle and she knew how to approach to my babies since it was their first time staying with a stranger. When I picked them up, 3 hours later, they were looking so happy and very confident. Brittany is very professional and She showed love and care for my babies, definitely I will go to her if I need to leave my babies again. ☺️”

“Today was Bernie’s first time with Nayeli, and I was honestly pretty anxious about leaving him with someone new. He’s such a huge part of my life, and dropping him off at someone else’s home made me nervous. But from the moment we met Nayeli, I felt completely reassured. She is kind, warm, and professional, creating an environment where dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments feel safe, seen, and cared for. Nayeli is a true dog whisperer who intuitively understands each dog's needs and integrates them into a peaceful, balanced pack. She took the time to get to know Bernie and ensured he was comfortable, happy, and having a great experience. Throughout the day, she sent the most beautiful photos of Bernie playing and relaxing, giving me much peace of mind. When I picked him up, he was calm and content and clearly had a wonderful time. I’m so grateful we found Nayeli and truly hope my schedule eases up so I can bring Bernie back to her again soon. She made what felt like a big leap of trust feel entirely natural. I could not recommend her more!”

“Briana was amazing! We came from California to NY and was our first time traveling with Miklo. It was a great experience! I would totally recommend her to anyone looking for a good pet nanny in the Patterson area, she was super sweet and very communicative and from the looks of it my pup looked like he had the best time!! It was my first time using Rover, but thanks to this experience I’m looking forward to booking again! Thanks Briana!! <3”

“Anner came through for me! If it wasn’t for him I’d have to call out of work. I had a change of schedule which messed up my puppy’s schedule. I downloaded this app with hopes of someone responding back to me quickly and Anner did just that. Everything was so professionally done. Top tier communication. I was able to receive photos and videos during the day. I was so happy. Book Anner you won’t be disappointed”

“Leah was so pleasant and so easy to work with. She took great care of my dog who seemed to have a blast with her. We had 2 days of doggie day care and on day 2 my dog was so happy to be back.”

“Rachael was able to help us out with very little notice. She was so sweet with my 2 pups and they loved her. They are older and really just want someone to sit with them and give them hugs. My chihuahua is sometimes a little grouchy & nervous. Rachael put them right at ease and handled them well on walks. We hope we can have her back again soon!”

“Kara was great! She was super flexible and willing to watch Shadow with what I believed was a last minute request! I would definitely recommend to anyone if you’re looking for a sweet and personable dog sitter!”

“Nicole is not only knowledgeable but you can feel how she loves taking care of animals! I appreciate so much the care she has provided and will using her again! Thank you 🙏🏻”

“Jess was lovely with my dog. I have a German Shepherd and I’m always a bit worried with strangers. Jess came to my house to meet my dog beforehand to make sure they were a good fit which made me feel so much more at ease. Jess even sent me pictures of their walks! She was very accommodating with my instructions and I’m so grateful for her service.”


“Richie stayed with our Yorkie Nicky and Chihuahua Pea while we were away. He is very professional, followed the dogs schedule to a T, kept us updated and our dogs were calm and comfortable when we returned. We will definitely be booking him again!”

“Melissa is extremely good with all animals and I would highly recommend her! Years ago when one of my german shepherds had a behavior issue we asked Melissa to work with us and the trainer to help correct the problem. Melissa understood what the trainer was doing and helped us to learn how to work with our dog. She has also fed, walked, and administered meds to our dogs while we were on vacation. Melissa is very reliable, knowledgeable about animals and extremely good with them. I trust her with all my animals care!”

“Steve does a great job with my dog Gus. He came and walked him while I was out of town for a few days. He has very great communication and I felt confident leaving Gus in his care. Highly recommend to others!”

About: I've been surrounded by pets my whole life. Growing up, I cared for many cats and dogs. I don’t have any animals at the moment. However, I did care for my cat, Susan, and Siberian Husky, Luke, for 15+ years before they both crossed the rainbow bridge in 2019. I know the tender, loving care that’s required to take in an animal and I’m sensitive to the fact that these kittens & pups are your babies! Each dog/cat/pet has a different personality and set of needs based on their breed or lifestyle and I’m prepared to take on any challenge. I’ve had prior experience home/dog/cat sitting and my schedule is pretty flexible. My phone is on hand at all times and I’m more than willing to send you pics throughout our time together! Currently, I have a flexible schedule and am looking to care for cats and pups to fill my days with more furry friends. 🐱 🐶 When I had pets at home, I would care for them by taking them on walks and playing their favorite games. I installed an electric fence for my dog so he could run around and enjoy the outdoors when I couldn’t walk him.

The whole family are dog people so joey had multiple humans taking care of him and he loved it so much. Dan was responsive, accommodating and most importantly treated my dog with the same love and care that I do. I received regular updates/photos and my dog was just so happy. I know he was exceptionally well taken care of Becuase when I picked him up, he was (relatively) calm and relaxed which tells me he was well exercised and well taken care of. I cannot recommend Dan highly enough. THANK YOU Dan! Look forward to the next time I can drop Joey off with you :)”
