Highly-rated overnight sitters - Vails Gate
“David and his family were incredible with my Moosey. This was the longest I’ve ever been away from her and I am extremely grateful to have found care that is so considerate and joyful. Moose has a ton of energy and personality, and David and his family ensured that she was loved, exercised, and understood like the puppy baby she thinks she is. He communicated thoroughly about her day-to-day and checked in about any deviations to their or her regular schedule. He is also very flexible and understanding, which I truly appreciated before and after a long trip abroad. Though they are moving, I truly hope (and know Moose does as well) to rebook their services in the future. Amazing, loving, knowledgable family with amazing snacks! Definitely recommend.”
“We found Annie after running around trying to find a last minute dog sitter/boarder to watch our dogs after they were in our wedding ceremony. Annie and I chatted on the phone before booking. She not only loves dogs but understands dog behavior and put my mind at ease to watch our two sweet pups. Annie was absolutely fantastic and worked with our coordinator to pick up our dogs and did so on time. We only wish we lived in the area, otherwise Annie would be our go-to.”
“Jasmine is such a dog lover and so caring. She looked after our Rocky for an entire week and treated him like he was one of her own. Sent us photos and updates while overseas can’t thank her enough for doing so. Will surely book her again as we finally found our dog watcher. Thanks Jadyn for everything”
“Terrance was amazing! He handled our dog with care, he was professional and kept us updated on how our pup was doing. I would highly recommend his services! Thanks Terrance!”
“Daniela took exceptional care of my fur-baby, keeping me up to date with beautiful pictures and messages. I recommend her 100% 😀 Thank you Daniela, you are the pet sitter I always needed.”
“Gretchen took excellent care of my dog while I was away. He seemed very happy during his stay. I also received daily photos and updates about how he was doing. I'll definitely use Gretchen's services again.”
“Theresa and Michael are wonderful cat sitters, true pet lovers who took care of Mr Soots for me in every way possible. From cuddles and love to pictures of Soots playing and being his cheeky self, I could see that my cat felt so at home and comfortable with Theresa and Michael right from day one. I would recommend their cat sitting services to anyone. Fantastic people and wonderful hosts for pets.”
“Our dog, Grace, stayed two nights at Leah’s home, and she was comfortable and safe. We found Leah to be easy going. She seemed to have a few dogs who board on a regular basis, and everyone got along. There’s a nice, big , fenced backyard.”
“Jill was great to work with! She is very attentive and loving towards our dog, Rufus! Jill sent lots of photos and updates. Rufus had a great time during our meet and greet and during his stay with Jill! We highly recommend!”
“Alison was AMAZING!!! My dog is particular when it comes to staying with people. Alison made her feel right at home. She took care of my little one as if she were her own and I loved that. Alison sent daily updates sometimes multiple times a day just to ensure that I know my little one was in good hands! Hands down excellent experience.”
About: With our goofy boy, your dog will have plenty of exercise and playtime. We have a spacious home and flexible schedule for pet care. I work various hours and my partner works from home. We have a yard for the dogs and separate basement area for boarding comfortably (or to keep our cat away from non-friendly dogs). We enjoy the dog park with your permission and spend a lot of time outside during the warm months. Our dog is young and energetic so playtime lasts for hours unless your dog prefers a nap, he will snuggle up or be separated. Potty breaks are often during the day in our yard. The dogs are rarely left home for more than a few hours. We have crates for our dogs, special areas for our cat to stay safe, and a basement for boarding other dogs comfortably. Our goal is to give our clients a better experience than if they were in a crated boarding facility all day.
“My dogs always enjoy going to Maria’s house. It’s not a kennel but a house where my dogs get the same love and affection as at home. Been there three times and will use Maria again for our next trip”
About: I am an auntie of 2 fur babies one which requires special attention. I check his glucose levels and administer his insulin as needed 💙 Hi my name is Lily. A year ago my fur baby passed away 😔 Had my fur baby for 18 years and he passed away at home on hospice care. I am ready to provide care and love to other fury friends. Allow me to treat your fur babies as my own. I work remotely with flexible hours. It gives me the opportunity to spend time to play, take walks with your fur babies and to provide the attention they need. Please, let me know if your fur baby have any special needs I must attend to and any other information or instructions needed. Kindly, before dropping off your fur baby I ask they are clean. This will help to maintain a clean comfortable hygienic environment for all fur babies under my care. Thanks in advance for your understanding and cooperation. I am available on weekends and weekdays. Looking forward to caring for your fur babies 💞 I have a fenced yard and your fur babies will be taken care safely as my own. They will be attended at all times .
“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!!”
“Michael was exceptional with Prince YoYo. It was my first time being away from him and he made me feel comfortable. YoYo was treated like the prince he is. I received multiple pics/video updates daily of their activities, which let me know I made the right decision. When it was time to pick up Prince YoYo I know for sure he was treated well because he was jumping and chasing after Michael. If I need to leave my dog in great hands again, it will for sure be Michael.”
“Liz and Adam took amazing care of our pup! We loved getting daily updates and it was great to know our dog got so much outside time with their fenced in yard. They provided us great peace of mind while we were traveling - we definitely recommend Liz and Adam!”
“Francesca and John were wonderful! Buddy did very well during his stay. This was his first time ever boarding and I was nervous about how he would do since he is an older dog. They kept me updated all the time and assured me he was relaxed and not anxious. So glad we found them!”

“So, where do I begin?! My family and I were going on vacation for 2 weeks and were in desperate need of a sitter for our 2yr old Amstaff Roxy. We set up a meet-n-greet with Christina and it was like love at first sight! Roxy absolutely looovvveedddd her and that was extremely comforting for us. We felt good leaving her for 2 weeks because we knew she'd be in excellent hands. Christina genuinely loves dogs, is super duper friendly and was so great about sending us updates and pictures while we were gone. We could tell Roxy had a fabulous time with her! If you're looking for a doggy sitter, I would most definitely recommend Christina - you won't regret it! We're looking forward to our next getaway! Thanks again Christina! :)”

She provided daily updates with tons of photos and videos and a description of how Riley was during each visit. Maritza was very respectful throughout the process and provided me with a sense of ease knowing my cat was in good hands while I was away. I definitely recommend her to anyone looking for pet sitting services! Thank you!”
“I was very happy with my overall experience with Rover. It was easy to set up and choose someone to care for my 2 cats when I was out of town. Nancy was great!

I would definitely recommend Nancy and will use her again in the future. Thanks! :) Rose G.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Vails Gate
“Annie was the absolute best! She took wonderful care of Ruger! I definitely recommend her to anyone needing day care or boarding services. When we first arrived with Ruger she placed a tracking tag on his collar “just in case”. I thought that was a great idea! She also kept us updated thru the day on how Ruger was doing and sent us a picture as well. Her communication and dog handling skills made us feel at ease leaving our baby with her.”
“David took excellent care of our two pups! He was very attentive and made sure to ask good questions ahead of time. He communicated frequently with us and kept us updated! We picked up 2 very happy dogs. Would definitely recommend”
“Anna was awesome! Our boy stayed with her while we visited the city for two days and had an amazing time with her and her pups! They had your playtime hike river time and I'm pretty sure he smells so good he even got a bath! We were just passing through so sad we won't be able to have him stay with her again”
“Daniela was really wonderful, attentive and patient and flexible. Goguma is still in his puppy phase and got to play with her dog. She checked in several times. I felt like Goguma was in great hands and look forward to future dates with Daniela.”
“What can I say? Tara responded quickly and she asked very pertinent questions before we met and that alerted me to how careful she would be about caring for my puppy. He was nervous going in but Tara quickly reassured him and not an hour later she sent me photos that erased my worry. He enjoyed his time there and she had many insights into him when I picked him up. I will use Tara again and recommend her to anyone looking for care in the Newburgh area. She knows a bunch about breeds and how they act and that is comforting.”

“Alexis took excellent care of River Rose during her two-day stay. From the moment River was dropped off, I felt confident she was in great hands. Alexis sent daily photos, videos, and updates, which meant so much to me as a very overprotective dog mom. River Rose is incredibly special to me, and Alexis made me feel completely at ease the entire time. It was clear that she genuinely cared for River and treated her as if she were her own pet. The love, attention, and care she provided exceeded my expectations. I can't recommend Alexis enough and will absolutely be booking with her again in the future. I'd also be happy to serve as a reference for anyone considering her services. Thank you, Alexis, for taking such wonderful care of River Rose!”
“Laurie was great with my dog! It was my first time using Rover, and she made Clementine & I feel very comfortable with the experience. She sent me updates, made sure to go on walks/exercise through out the day & was a great companion to Clementine overall. 5 stars across the board!”
“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.”

I currently have a very flexible schedule and am available most days of the week for walks, drop-ins, or pet care.

About: I grew up on a farm and have been around animals my entire life. Cats are my favorite and I’ve had them since I was a child. In the past I have been mostly cat sitting. More recently, I have been dog walking and sitting for friend’s dogs while they are away on vacation or at work. I enjoy it as a therapeutic way of bonding with the animals as a form of self-care and mutual support and pet care co-regulation. Unfortunately, I cannot have dogs at my residence as per my lease agreement and being able to sit and walk with dogs is a way of being able to enjoy access to them without being able to own them myself. I’m looking to expand my reach and explore more breeds at this time. Specifically, I have experience with Labradors and Boxers. I’m currently working part-time and have ample time to schedule walking and feedings, and am able to stay for extended periods of time with your pets. I have two cats whom I adore and dote on at my home and I am very attentive to their needs and make sure they have an enriched environment with toys and play time, as well as grooming care.
About: I have worked at a veterinary hospital for 7years and I have run my own petsitting on the side for 4 years. I am experienced with all kinds of animals (exotics, farm animals, seniors, pets with behavioral quirks etc) I am able to administer medication and can handle pets with more care requirements than usual. I am a student at SUNY Oswego so during the week I do have classes but I am more than able to balance both and I am open to figuring out what works best for you and your pet(s). I take care of your pet like it’s my own. I’ve had plenty of experience both in a veterinary hospital and as a pet sitter, so your pets are in good hands :)
“Jordan is the best - so flexible & communicative. We always feel (slightly) less guilty leaving our baby with her knowing that he’s totally obsessed with her. 12/10 would recommend.”
About: I have been pet sitting since the age of 14. I have looked after animals of all kinds, such as dogs, cats, chickens, reptiles, and amphibians. I am comfortable giving medication (outside of injection) and am willing to work with animals of all ages. I'm a teacher on summer break so my schedule is wide open. I am unavailable on August 9th and from August 14th to the 21st. I am also open to sitting during evenings and weekends or drop-bys during the school year. I always schedule a meet-and-greet before any care to get to know you and your pets. It helps me ensure I am providing the best care.
“Jill was fantastic! I reached out at the last minute right before Thanksgiving when other accommodations feel through. She was so great when she met our poodle, who immediately was comfortable. Jill was very communicative on the walk day, and sent some great pics of their walk around the neighborhood. Can’t wait to book with Jill again. Thank you!!!”

“David and his family were incredible with my Moosey. This was the longest I’ve ever been away from her and I am extremely grateful to have found care that is so considerate and joyful. Moose has a ton of energy and personality, and David and his family ensured that she was loved, exercised, and understood like the puppy baby she thinks she is. He communicated thoroughly about her day-to-day and checked in about any deviations to their or her regular schedule. He is also very flexible and understanding, which I truly appreciated before and after a long trip abroad. Though they are moving, I truly hope (and know Moose does as well) to rebook their services in the future. Amazing, loving, knowledgable family with amazing snacks! Definitely recommend.”
“We found Annie after running around trying to find a last minute dog sitter/boarder to watch our dogs after they were in our wedding ceremony. Annie and I chatted on the phone before booking.

Annie was absolutely fantastic and worked with our coordinator to pick up our dogs and did so on time. We only wish we lived in the area, otherwise Annie would be our go-to.”

“Gretchen took excellent care of my dog while I was away. He seemed very happy during his stay. I also received daily photos and updates about how he was doing. I'll definitely use Gretchen's services again.”
“Our dog, Grace, stayed two nights at Leah’s home, and she was comfortable and safe. We found Leah to be easy going. She seemed to have a few dogs who board on a regular basis, and everyone got along. There’s a nice, big , fenced backyard.”
“Alison was AMAZING!!! My dog is particular when it comes to staying with people. Alison made her feel right at home. She took care of my little one as if she were her own and I loved that. Alison sent daily updates sometimes multiple times a day just to ensure that I know my little one was in good hands! Hands down excellent experience.”
About: With our goofy boy, your dog will have plenty of exercise and playtime. We have a spacious home and flexible schedule for pet care. I work various hours and my partner works from home. We have a yard for the dogs and separate basement area for boarding comfortably (or to keep our cat away from non-friendly dogs). We enjoy the dog park with your permission and spend a lot of time outside during the warm months. Our dog is young and energetic so playtime lasts for hours unless your dog prefers a nap, he will snuggle up or be separated. Potty breaks are often during the day in our yard. The dogs are rarely left home for more than a few hours. We have crates for our dogs, special areas for our cat to stay safe, and a basement for boarding other dogs comfortably. Our goal is to give our clients a better experience than if they were in a crated boarding facility all day.
“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!!”
“Michael was exceptional with Prince YoYo. It was my first time being away from him and he made me feel comfortable. YoYo was treated like the prince he is. I received multiple pics/video updates daily of their activities, which let me know I made the right decision. When it was time to pick up Prince YoYo I know for sure he was treated well because he was jumping and chasing after Michael. If I need to leave my dog in great hands again, it will for sure be Michael.”
“Liz and Adam took amazing care of our pup! We loved getting daily updates and it was great to know our dog got so much outside time with their fenced in yard. They provided us great peace of mind while we were traveling - we definitely recommend Liz and Adam!”
“Francesca and John were wonderful! Buddy did very well during his stay. This was his first time ever boarding and I was nervous about how he would do since he is an older dog. They kept me updated all the time and assured me he was relaxed and not anxious. So glad we found them!”
“So, where do I begin?! My family and I were going on vacation for 2 weeks and were in desperate need of a sitter for our 2yr old Amstaff Roxy. We set up a meet-n-greet with Christina and it was like love at first sight! Roxy absolutely looovvveedddd her and that was extremely comforting for us. We felt good leaving her for 2 weeks because we knew she'd be in excellent hands. Christina genuinely loves dogs, is super duper friendly and was so great about sending us updates and pictures while we were gone. We could tell Roxy had a fabulous time with her! If you're looking for a doggy sitter, I would most definitely recommend Christina - you won't regret it! We're looking forward to our next getaway! Thanks again Christina! :)”
“Beckie and her family were the perfect home away from home for our high-energy 2yo German Shepherd. She has a beautiful and massive back yard and provided photo updates throughout the stay. We’ll happily trust Beckie with Echo on future trips and highly recommend her!”
“Tara was absolutely wonderful with Milo! She cared for him as if he were her own, sending lots of photos and thoughtful updates that kept us at ease while we were away. She took the time to understand his quirks, even letting him choose his favorite sleeping spot, and made sure he was happy and comfortable. Her warmth, attention to detail, and genuine care really stood out. We’re so grateful for the loving environment she provided and would trust her with Milo anytime!”
“Natacha was a God-sent. She watched out 7 month old Husky, Samon for 3 days. Natacha had a gorgeous Husky herself. She sent up pic and updates daily. We felt confident that Samson would be safe in Natacha's care, and he was. We will be using her again in the future to care for Samson. Could not have asked for a better sitter!”
“Brittany was wonderful with Cody. He is not used to be separated from us so we knew that he would be a challenge. I am happy with the treatment that Cody received and if the occasion occurs we will book with Brittany again.”
“Stefany and her family are amazing ❤️they are very loving, caring 🥰 and knowledgeable about pets . They understood my pet’s schedule and needs, they gave him so much love and attention 🐾they shared amazing pictures 👏🏻 Stefany , thank you for your love , care and sweetness ! Blessings!”
About: Hello, I'm Brooklyn! I have been working with animals for about 15 years in some capacity. I have run my own dog walking and pet sitting business for 10 years, fostered many animals, worked as the foster coordinator for my local shelter and have organized and hosted several fundraising events. Now that I have the space I am expanding into dog and cat boarding in my home. In order to give your pets the care they deserve I will only be booking one family at a time. I can't wait to meet you and your Furry Friends! I am home full time. I am available 7 days a week and most holidays with booking in advance for dog boarding. Contact for questions! Cats and dogs boarded in a separate area of my home for safety. I also have a fully fenced large backyard for safety and play time!
