“Absolute peace of mind through the entire experience. This was only the third time with a sitter and second boarding my Whiskey dog overnight; but never have I felt as content as when he was with Judy, her wonderful family & beautiful home. Was able to completely enjoy my vacation knowing he was cared for as one of her own. I really can’t thank her enough for what that contentment was worth to me. To top it off she’s so nice!! Had pushed the date forward a day at the last minute, she was totally understanding and went with the flow. Just thank you!!!! I know Whiskey dog misses his new friends already =^_^=”

“Volha was GREAT!! She provided daily updates and pictures while my dog was with her. She made sure my dog stayed on the same schedule while I was away, which is much appreciated!

Thank you for helping us out, Kenniqua!!”

We received updates during the stay also. Would definitely recommend Mario and will book him again for future dog watching needs!”

“Cristian went above and beyond to make sure i felt 100% comfortable while i was boarding my pit mix Nala for 11 days for the first time. Nala even sadly got a pretty severe UTI during her stay and Cristian was so on top of it with photos, concern, and ended up even taking her to the vet for me and getting the care she needed. Even with a 6hr time change he managed to keep up with great communication and updates throughout the stay. I truly couldn’t be happier with my experience. He will definitely be my top choice in the future - no question. Thank you endlessly Cristian!”

About: Hi. My name is Kiki and I love dogs!! I have years of hands-on experience working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I was a manager at a cage-free dog daycare for 5 years, where I handled everything from group play supervision to administering medications and managing daily care routines. I also volunteered for 3 years at Second Chance Dog Rescue, helping with socialization, walking, and basic training. In addition, I’ve provided trusted pet sitting services in Peekskill, NY for 5 years until the family relocated. I’m trained in pet CPR, comfortable administering all types of medications, and have a dog of my own—so I truly understand how important it is to find someone reliable and compassionate to care for your pets. I have a car, am highly dependable, and treat every animal as if they were my own.

Every pet has a specific personality so I try to respect that much like people.

“Alison and Jason are the best! Meeko gets so much attention and excercise while in their care and is always excited when we get to their door.

“Excellent care and attentiveness. My dog was comfortable right away, during a rough week of meeting lots of new people and lots of change. But my dog loves Matthew’s son, which is the secret sauce 🤣”
“I recently boarded my dog, Asher, to Amruta's care, and the experience was nothing short of exemplary. From our initial meeting, Amruta's commitment to providing a superior boarding experience was evident. Amruta's warm demeanor, coupled with her professional approach, immediately set a positive tone. Her genuine affection for animals was apparent throughout our interaction. The updates and photographs she provided were reassuring and demonstrated her attentiveness. Upon collection, Asher appeared content, and healthy, clear evidence of the exceptional care he received. The following day, Asher was noticeably tired, suggesting he thoroughly enjoyed an active play session in Amruta's spacious backyard. I wholeheartedly endorse Amruta's services to fellow pet owners seeking a trustworthy boarding solution. We will undoubtedly choose Amruta's services again for future boarding needs. Thank you, Amruta, for your exemplary service.”

Being a dog mom taught me how important it is to know your fur baby is in safe, loving hands. I’m patient, attentive, and experienced with both puppies and senior dogs, including giving oral medication if needed. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or cuddles, I make sure every pup feels comfortable and cared for. My home is cozy with a backyard for safe play, and I have a sweet cat named Woody.

My home is cozy and safe, with a dedicated area for your pup to relax and feel at home where I'll have anything your pup needs (You're welcome to provide anything that makes them comfortable as well). I also have a backyard where they can run, play, and get their zoomies out safely. Your fur baby will have a space that’s loving, fun, and stress-free.

About: I have a very special connection with all animals and will love and care for your pet as if it were my own! I have a lifetime of experience with cats and a few years of experience with dogs, namely raising and training my own dog from ~2 months old. He’s the sweetest, happiest pup and he is very loved! I work from home and have plenty of time to spend with your pet, whether that’s walking them, playing with them or bringing them to appointments!! I don’t have a fenced in yard but have plenty of space to walk and play with your dog outside (or inside!). I can crate the dog if necessary, and my puppy is extremely friendly and welcoming with new dogs!
“Maryline is very professional and friendly. She watched my new puppy and it was a great experience. The dog was happy and well taken care of. I will definitely use her services again and would strongly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a great dog sitter.”
“At first, I struggled with the thought of leaving my grand dog (Zyla is my daughter’s dog), because Zyla really is treated like a family member and Zyla is our everything but Monica was wonderful. Monica sent multiple photos throughout the day which reassured us that Zyla was ok. From the photos I could tell that Zyla was having a blast. Zyla made a new furry friend and two human friends. Monica not only sent me photos but updated me throughout the day on Zyla’s activities which eased my worry as well. I can tell Zyla had the time of her life because she fell fast asleep on her ride home. Monica made Zyla’s first doggy daycare experience wonderful for both Zyla and her owners. I am definitely scheduling more future dates with Monica for both doggie daycare and boarding.”

I allow dogs on the furniture and bed so that is no issue. There is plenty of room for a crate, which i would prefer if I am leaving the dog alone while I am at class.

I would use her services again. Thanks Stefanie!”

About: I had two felines for over 15 years but they recently passed away. They were my best friends, but they hated dogs, which brought me to Rover. I love dogs big and small, from german shepherds to a Maltese, I have never had the living situation to have one. I understand the importance of a routine in a dog's life and want to make them as comfortable as possible, especially when their human is not around. I love taking them out to play in the park or snuggling on the couch. Depending on the dog's needs I will take them for a short or long walk. We will make a plan catered to your specific pet. I have experience with giving medicine. I have experience with walking, overnight care, and in-home pups. I've always wanted a dog, let me give yours all the love I have to share. I have a flexible schedule and keep my rover calendar updated! I am an early riser and like to get moving so if you need morning help I am happy to do so. I try not to be out super late so unless I am doing an overnight the latest I'd do a visit it 9pm-10pm. Unfortunately, I can no longer offer home care in my house. For pet parents, I will arrive within the designated time, greet the pet with a warm hello, check the water to make sure it is clean and full, check the food to confirm the amount eaten, take the puppy outside to relieve itself, and/or change the puppy pad if required. Give the dog some good scratches and pats and maybe a treat if available. If the dog wants to play tug-o-war or fetch I'll do some of that too. I would like to tailor the visit to the dog's routine, so as not to cause any undue stress.

This was only the third time with a sitter and second boarding my Whiskey dog overnight; but never have I felt as content as when he was with Judy, her wonderful family & beautiful home. Was able to completely enjoy my vacation knowing he was cared for as one of her own. I really can’t thank her enough for what that contentment was worth to me. To top it off she’s so nice!! Had pushed the date forward a day at the last minute, she was totally understanding and went with the flow. Just thank you!!!! I know Whiskey dog misses his new friends already =^_^=”
“Brittany was reliable and timely in communicating. Our fur babies had a good time with her and they came home feeling good. She was polite to interact with. We will be using her again if we need a sitter!”
“Volha was GREAT!! She provided daily updates and pictures while my dog was with her. She made sure my dog stayed on the same schedule while I was away, which is much appreciated! My dog had a great time with her and really loved her stay. Volha and her family are a pleasure and I definitely will leave my Missy girl with her anytime I’m away! Thanks again Volha!”
“Cory was a great host for Henny. Her dogs were friendly and she was super communicative! She sent lots of photos and videos which helped soothe my pet parent anxiety. Would definitely book with her again”
“Matthew and his family are excellent dog caregivers! They have a very large fenced yard for the dogs to play. They are very attentive and sent many photos! I have an older newly adopted dog, they were so sweet and gentle with her. I highly recommend them!!!”
“Kenniqua was incredible! She took my request last minute due to a family emergency, and she really eased the stress of that weekend. Our dog was happy, got to sleep on the bed, and got walks. Her space was calm and her dog Honey was a sweetie. Kenniqua provided updates and wonderful communication. Will definitely ask Kenniqua to care for my pup again. Thank you for helping us out, Kenniqua!!”
“Was so happy to find someone to take care of our dog during a holiday, and we felt better knowing he was safe with Mario! We did a doggie day care day with him in advance so they could get to know each other, and our dog was excited to see Mario when we dropped him off for an overnight! We received updates during the stay also. Would definitely recommend Mario and will book him again for future dog watching needs!”
“Loretta is great! She always makes sure to send pictures of my boy and he always looks like he is either having fun with other pups or comfortably snuggled up. I know he is in good hands with her.”
“We’ve left our pup Soup here for daycare and overnight boarding and each time he comes back tired and happy! He gets great outdoor play time with other dogs and cuddle time with the humans. We will definitely be using their services again.”
“Nayeli was great! Excellent communications and expectations. We did a meet and greet to make sure Rosie and her pups got along. She was attentive to Rosie's needs and personality quirks, and sent lovely updates that were very reassuring. Will definitely book again!”
“Cici was wonderful with Ruby! I had another rover fall through and Cici worker with me to find a solution. We were able to have a very slow and steady meet and greet. It gave Ruby a ton of confidence for the stay. All the updates about how my pup was fitting in with her family were great. She handled the pup well. Would highly recommend”
“Cristian went above and beyond to make sure i felt 100% comfortable while i was boarding my pit mix Nala for 11 days for the first time. Nala even sadly got a pretty severe UTI during her stay and Cristian was so on top of it with photos, concern, and ended up even taking her to the vet for me and getting the care she needed. Even with a 6hr time change he managed to keep up with great communication and updates throughout the stay. I truly couldn’t be happier with my experience. He will definitely be my top choice in the future - no question. Thank you endlessly Cristian!”
“From start to finish, Maryline was wonderful to deal with. Her attentiveness with my dog was exceptional. She made the whole process feel like we were leaving our dog with a family member. We got constant updates and photos. Can’t wait to use her services again.”
