Highly-rated overnight sitters - Saugerties South
“I found Jane on Rover last minute we were lucky she had space to take Kali for the weekend. First time for us to leave our dog with anyone so we were a bit nervous. Jane put us at ease and our dog Kali had a wonderful time playing with other pups all weekend long! Jane sent updates and photos and videos of Kali throughout her stay and it really put our mind at ease. Next time we can’t take Kali with us for some reason we will not hesitate to drop her off at Jane’s again.”

“I was looking for someone special to look after my 15 year old Shih Tzu, Opal. Someone who would understand her fussy eating habits, could give her eye drops, be patient with her inability to see well, and go outside when she needs to. And, a quiet place for Opal just to rest her weary bones. I found that in Cipriana. I hope in the future, she can care for little Opal again. Opal even shared a bed with Cipriana's older dog!”

“Nicole is an incredible dog sitter. My dog is a very energetic lab who stayed with her for a week. I received daily updates and pictures. He was treated like a part of her family. She was so attentive to his needs and kept him busy and happy the whole time with excerise and one on one attention. I was very relaxed on my trip knowing he was so well cared for. I highly recommend Nicole.”

“Gabriel and Annie were wonderful hosts and caretakers for our two pups. Our Australian Cattle Dog and Aussie mix are a handful—energetic, high maintenance, and demanding, with daily exercise/stimulation requirements that can be somewhat daunting. But Gabriel and Annie handled the dogs' every need for a week-long stay. They integrated our dogs into their pack and ensured a safe and playful environment for everyone. And they sent regular updates with cute photos to show us how things were going, putting our minds at ease. Recommended!”


“Amanda and her husband took wonderful care of Jack. I received daily updates and pictures which helped ease my anxiety about leaving him for a few days. He was so spoiled! You can tell they are dog lovers and treated him like he was theirs. I will be using them in the future and have already booked Jacks next stay without hesitation.”


“My dog had a great time with Jennifer, Thomas and their kids. They’ shared photos of her getting petted on the couch and going on walks. She was exhausted when she came home after having had a very fun day with this lovely family.”

“Rosalie was very kind to our senior dog, Bob. She has a lovely, clean home with a private, enclosed back yard for him to roam around. I would hire her again and recommend her to others.”

“Jacqueline is an absolutely amazing dog sitter! Took fantastic care of my dog, Koda, and took so many pictures, which I really appreciated. He was treated like her own, and I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. Highly recommend!”
“Candice was amazing and Barry absolutely adored her and her kids! he had a great time there and came home so happy! 10/10 would recommend and will def be going back!”

“Janice is the best! Her home is so warm and she is so loving and special - she cared for our dog like her own, and we received tons of updates and easy communication. I could not recommend her more highly!”

“Kimberly took excellent care of my little cavalier puppy Rudy🐶. It was his first time away from me and she updated me with messages and pictures. I was able to enjoy my trip knowing he was well taken care of with kindness & love. He bonded with her & I will definitely be requesting her services in the future!”

“I would highly recommend Nicole to anyone looking for dog day care or boarding She communicates well and goes the extra mile to make your pet feel comfortable and happy Not only did Buddy have a Christmas themed neck scarf but also a Christmas toy! She clearly loves dogs and is proficient and skilled in all aspects of their care We had total peace of mind while we were away and she sent us some beautiful pictures of Buddy!”

“This was our second time using Caroline as our dog sitter, always a great experience! She’s very communicative, sent us updates, and took such great care of our puppy while we were away for two nights. We plan to book with Caroline again and highly recommend her!”

“Saskia was absolutely fantastic! She took such wonderful care of our two energetic dogs and our energetic cat, and we couldn't have been happier. She truly went above and beyond, staying in constant communication with us the whole time we were away and sending photos and updates that really put our minds at ease. She put an incredible amount of heart into caring for our pets—she easily gave one hundred and fifty to two hundred percent—and her response time was incredibly fast.”

“Denis wa a godsend. I was diagnosed with cancer and needed to be in city for over 3 weeks my husband wanted to stay with me. So on short notice he was able to fill in the days that friends and family could not and stayed flexiable to add additional days for me. Bella had fun and made a new friend with his dog. We will.use him again.”

About: I’ve always had pets throughout my lifetime from kitties, dogs, birds, fish, reptiles, squirrels that I hand fed and set free with my father- and many more. I worked in pet stores and help foster kittens when available. 💕 Look forward to meeting you soon. I work part time as a territory supervisor, and my work is flexible. I’m home every night and throughout the day leaving me with much time to care for your pets. I’ve given medications and feed depending on preference of pet and client. Each pet is unique to their way of being and I like to match the energy needed.
“We had SUCH a wonderful experience with Meghan & Sean—and so did our pup! Our 3yo dog is nervous around new people and can be reactive. We were worried about how she would do staying with a family with young kids. Meghan & Sean listed to our worries and helped up brainstorm ways to put our dog at ease. And it worked like a charm! We were so grateful to the extra time Meghan & Sean spent to make both the humans and the doggo feel positive about the plan. We loved getting pics of the crew on their daily walks. It was also really really REALLY nice to see how much love Meghan and fam have for all animals, and how positive they were about our sometimes tricky dog. Our dog had a great week and we will definitely return to Meghan & Sean for future doggy needs, whether it is another week or a shorter visit. Highly recommend, zero notes!”

“We are so grateful for the amazing care you gave Cloud while we were away! You went above and beyond—keeping us updated the whole time and sending the sweetest pictures that truly put our mind at ease. It was clear he was in great hands. Til next time!”

“I could not be more pleased… My dog had such a good time with Amanda and came home happy and content and tired so I know she had a very good day! And Amanda was wonderful in communicating with me throughout the day to let me know how my girl was doing and sending photos… Highly recommend and will already be booking again!”

“We love Joe! I can always tell when I get home that our kitty is happy and well taken care of. If not, I know it because she is mad. Joe knows cats, and Juniper feels safe.”


“Alina was amazing with my cat Izzy. Izzy doesn't come out for everyone but came out for Alina each time. Alina's reports were sothorough and made me feel like my cat was being so well cared for.”

“We feel so lucky to have such great drop-in sitters for our cat Coach! We always use Krista & Zach when we’re away and will continue to do so. He loves their visits & we can tell he does by the photos of him playing with his toys, getting head scratches or lounging in the sun carefree in their presence. They are always incredibly communicative about his eating habits, mood, energy, & any messes.their detailed check ins out is at ease.”

The updates and photos were so appreciated and thank you for bringing in our packages and deliveries too. Highly recommend and will book with her again!”

About: I love caring for cats of all ages, from kittens to seniors. I especially love playing with more rambunctious cats. I've lived in several situations with two or more cats in which they had to be slowly introduced or their interactions managed, and I'm confident in reading cats' body language. I think it is so important to be patient with cats and pay attention to their individual wants and needs. My own cat is very calm but cautious with other animals.
About: I absolutely love taking care of and being around animals. I am kind, reliable and very loving, with years of experience with both cats & dogs. I currently work part-time very close to my home and have reliable transportation. This means I typically have plenty of time to cater to your pets daily needs. Some days I would be able to be with them all day, whereas other days I can do morning, nights, or middle-of-the-day check-ins. I typically do not care for client's pets in my own home because of my two cats. I am happy to travel to any client home to take care of their pet however that may be needed: play, walks, parks, etc.
About: I have always had a special connection with dogs. I grew up with dogs and treated them like part of the family. I have been primarily working as a pet nanny for 5 years for someone who traveled to Europe on a monthly basis. They are staying in Europe indefinitely so I am looking to add some new clients. I can offer your dogs fun playtime and a sense of stability by caring for them in their own environment. I am also available for walks and drop in visits. I send pictures and updates daily. Your best friend will be spoiled and pampered with me. I have a very flexible schedule with plenty of availability as this is my main job. I can also do long term sitting up to 6 weeks if necessary. I am responsible and professional and respectful in your home. Besides caring for your pets, I am happy to pick up mail and water plants.

“Katrina was in our home with our two big kittens/small cats for just under a week. My husband and I were a bit worried about leaving them with a sitter, since they are only three months old, but gwe came home to very happy kitties, and a well-cared for house. Communication was good while we were away; pictures arrived frequently. I would use Katrina again to watch our beloved cats!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Saugerties South
“Jane is wonderful! She went out of her way to help us when we had some issues with the app and with scheduling. She was clear and kind with our dog who can sometimes be a little anxious. Our pup felt right at home as soon as she walked into Jane’s house and was happily exhausted by the end of the day. Thank you, Jane! We will be back soon!”

About: My own dogs are always the #1 teacher. They show me how to best care for them - with food, play, training, medications, travel, sleepless days and nights when they've been ill, and giving them all them comfort I can. I've volunteered at dog shelters, spent hours walking dogs in all kinds of weather, and offered comfort to friends who've had to say goodbye to their best fur friends. I currently work from home and have a flexible schedule that allows me to give your pets plenty of attention - playing, feeding, and scratching behind the ears. I take my dog for swims in the river, off leash romps in the woods, and leashed walks around town. We also play fetch and tug-of-war in the house or on the deck. If your dog needs a playmate, my dog, Jackson, may be a good fit. My cats - depending on their mood - like to lounge in the sun, pounce on the occasional toy, run up stairs, and hunt for treats I've hidden for them.

“Amanda was an amazing sitter for our dog Honey! She was thoughtful, communicative, flexible on timing, and Honey seemed so happy and calm when we picked her up. I couldn’t recommend her more!”

“Marielle took great care of my little Zuzu! My puppy started the day sad about me leaving her there and by the end she was totally bonded with Marielle! She was also totally tuckered out so she clearly got plenty of exercise.”

“Rosalie was SO GOOD and patient with our nervous chihuahua. She sent great updates and he had a lovely time in her home and fenced yard. We highly recommend her for dogs of all sizes! :)”

“This is our 3rd time using Eleanor for Sparky’s care. And we already have her scheduled again for a week in March. She continues to exceed our expectations. She has a genuine interest in Sparky and they both adore each other. We consider ourselves lucky to have made this connection with Eleanor.”

“Can't say enough good things about Sophia. She was extremely caring and loving with our puppy, a true animal lover and very pleasant person to deal with. Thank you once again!!!”

“Jacqueline was very friendly and communicative, and Bunsen took an instant liking. We received photos of her well-being during her stay and of her mile walk. Jacqueline’s home is conveniently located in a popular historic town, making drop-off/pickup easy on the way to/from Hunter Ski Resort from our hotel. Bunsen was well cared for and happy. She was also so tired, that she managed to rest during the long car ride back home! We would book Jacqueline again.”

“After 20 years of using the same pet sitter we moved and had to find someone else. Lucky for us we found Janice on Rover. When we returned after just one visit our dog greeted Janice like an old friend. She clearly loves animals and we are so glad we found a place for our dogs where they are really cared for.”

“Kimberly was fantastic. Our pup spent the entire day with her while we golfed and had a birthday dinner. Very appreciative of her and will reach out again if we are in the area. Highly recommend!”


“Lauren graciously accepted our last minute request for our dog. Her love for animals is apparent when you communicate with her, and she was super accommodating. We highly recommend her!”

“Communication with Amy and Chris was smooth and easy. They're both very caring, and Boo had a good day with Chris. I will say that given Boo's energy level -- he's a hunting-dog mutt who loves to run --he's probably better off where there's a fenced yard or an opportunity for long walks...but this is no reflection on Amy and Chris. It was our choice to give them a try.”

“My dog absolutely loves Jesmine and Channon’s place. She always looks to be having a good time. Today she didn’t even want to leave. These are good people and I look forward to my pup staying with them again.”

“Carlee took wonderful care of our dog Esther while we were in Hudson. She was prompt and reliable and very flexible. Esther adored her! She came home so pooped from running around in the yard. I couldn’t recommend her more highly and plan to leave Esther with her again. We left Esther with her several times. Great communication.”

“This was Cassandra’s first time meeting Ellie and Mia, and she was fantastic! Although Ellie and Mia can be shy around new people, they warmed up to Cassandra right away and had a wonderful walk with her. I’d feel confident having her walk or dog-sit for them anytime.”

“Rosalie has been so lovely to work with. Our recently adopted dog struggles with separation anxiety and Rosalie has been willing to work with us to slowly build her confidence so that we can eventually leave her overnight. We are very grateful for her help, patience, and support!”
