“We have a high energy pup! As soon as we handed the leash over to Maureen and saw them briskly walking down the street together, we were confident that our girl was in very good hands! Good communications, really took the time to listen to everything we shared with her about our pup. We highly recommend Maureen and will use her again!”
“We had an excellent experience with Michael from Rover. From the very beginning, he demonstrated outstanding communication by ensuring we brought all the necessary supplies and asking thoughtful questions about our three furbabies' care. He was always responsive and replied to our messages promptly, giving us confidence that our pets were in great hands. During their stay, Michael went above and beyond by sending us daily updates with pictures and messages, which gave both my fiancé and me peace of mind. He also carefully followed all of our care instructions, including cleaning our pets' eyes as requested, showing genuine attention to detail and compassion for their well-being. It was clear that Michael truly cared for our three furbabies and treated them as if they were his own. We greatly appreciated his professionalism, reliability, and dedication. We would highly recommend Michael to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter, and we would not hesitate to book with him again.”
“Jessica and her husband were clearly so patient and understanding about sitting for a senior dog. Salto came back happy and excited! They sent regular photos and updates. I would absolutely have Salto stay with them again if we are in the area.”
“Highly recommend Melissa! My anxious pup settled in quickly and was clearly treated like family. Melissa provided my dog activity, enrichment, and affection, all while keeping me updated with regular communication. It’s rare to find someone who cares this much. We will definitely book with her again!”
“Kevin and his family were very sweet with my pup. She was nervous and anxious being away from us but they made her feel less nervous and made her stay as comfortable as possible. Highly recommended!”
“Home away from home! Very comfortable leaving our 2 labs with Ken and Irene- they love them like they are their own:) We get lots of pics too - so great because we do miss them when we’re not with them. Thank you again Ken & Irene:):)”
“Sridevi and her husband were great! Took great care of our lab, including providing cooked meal as per his schedule. Very easy communication and timely updates, with lots of pictures and videos that kept us up to date on his whereabouts. I would gladly refer her and use services again as needed.”
“Monica was great! I was so nervous since this would’ve been the first time I ever leave my dog for more than a day. I felt comfortable with her boarding my dog since our first initial conversation! From the moment I dropped him off till the day I picked him up I was completely at ease. Throughout my dogs stay she kept me well informed and sent me plenty of photos! I can tell he was having tons of fun which kept me worry free. I will definitely book Monica again!!”
“Yasmeen is so great with my dog, Taco. She is reliable and definitely knows how to take care of a dog. I was comfortable knowing Taco was being well cared for the weekend. Yasmeen will follow your dog’s care instructions to the tee.”
“Roberta and Travis were great to work with. Fast communication and our NOAA was happy and exhausted at pick up! She played with their pup Marshall and came home a very content pup! We will definitely use them again in the future!”
“Diana is friendly, caring, responsible and she is a great dog sitter. She sent photos and videos everyday and went above and beyond to take care of my shiba inu. In addition, her dog Wendy was a wonderdul playmate for my shiba. She provided a safe, clean and fun environment for the care of my dog.”
“Grace was excellent with our dog, Leni. He had some serious separation anxiety when we dropped him off and went on a hunger strike for several days. Not only did Grace keep us hell informed, she went above and beyond in trying to make Leni feel comfortable in her home and went as far as spoon feeding him to get him to eat. We're so thankful for all that she did to take care of Leni. I would highly recommend Grace to anyone looking for a loving and caring home in which to leave their pup while traveling. Thank you, Grace!!”
“Sonia is amazing!! She LOVES dogs and took great care of Moonie. She shares photos and videos for everyday updates. our dog had wonderful time with Misty (Sonia’s dog) and other dogs for day care and boarding. Will certainly back to Sonia for day care or boarding again in the future.”
“This was our second time having our pet stay with them, and once again, we could tell how happy and excited our pet was the whole time! 🐶❤️ Even though we were away traveling and couldn’t be together, they sent us lots of pictures and updates, which made us feel like we were right there with our pet. We’re always so grateful for the loving care and attention they give. Thank you so much, as always! 🥰”
“This was our 3rd time booking Bingo with Ann & her family. Ann sends pictures of Bingo from time to time. We enjoyed our vacation knowing that our pet is in a good place while we are away.”
“Bianca was an absolute gem! My dog spent a couple of days with her, and I couldn’t be happier with the care and attention she provided. From the moment they met, Bianca made my dog feel comfortable and loved. She didn’t just stick to the basics, she took my dog out on little adventures, making sure they had fun and stayed active. I highly recommend booking with Bianca.”
“My dog Abby and my daughters dog Owen have previously only been left with family members. This was their first time being left with someone other than family. Doreen made us all feel comfortable leaving them in her care. The picture, video and text message updates we received while away left us feeling content that our dogs were being well cared for.Both dogs came home happy. We would not hesitate leaving them with Doreen again in the future.”
“Pricilla was wonderful with my dog. I was very nervous since this was my first experience but turned out to be better than expected. Pricilla updated me with photos each day which was great assurance. I will definitely reach out to Pricilla in the future!”

“We had a great and positive experience with Patrick who is kind, caring and reliable. We also received regular updates and pictures which made us at ease that our pet was well taken care of while we were away. I would totally re-hire Patrick’ services in the near future.”
“Ellie was a terrific sitter who sent adorable pictures of our babies. I felt totally relieved knowing she was taking care of them. She has a warm, communicative personality and she even came back after the sit to leave them extra food when requested. I highly recommend her!”
“Let me say this upfront. I am an overprotective Mama. I know it and I accept it, lol. It is what it is. I tried using a pet sitter once before and I had a terrible experience, hence why it took me well over a year to try again. I took a leap of faith, tried again.....and found Elizabeth! Something magical happens when your pets become more than just pets....they become your children. The trepidation that anyone would have to leave their children with a stranger was quickly dismissed when we realized that Elizabeth was a friend and an enormous pet lover. Her care and concern for Grace, Stella, and Frankie was amplified by the genuine joy that she not only brought to our home but to their lives. Our time away from home was worry free and truly allowed us to enjoy our vacation. She handled all of her responsibilities not only with professionalism but with a honest sense of excitement. I HIGHLY recommend Elizabeth for all of your pet-sitting needs! Elizabeth is the cats meow!!!”
“I can not say enough about Christy. We first hired her shortly after bringing home our two new kittens, Walter and Winston, and trusting someone with brand-new kittens wasn’t an easy decision. From the very first visit, it was obvious how comfortable and experienced she is with cats. She didn’t just stop in to feed them—she spent the entire visit playing with them, giving them attention, and making sure they were happy and comfortable. We’ve now trusted Christy to care for the boys on multiple trips and she’s been wonderful every time. She sends thoughtful updates and photos after every visit, which gives us so much peace of mind while we’re away. She also goes above and beyond in ways she never has to. She brought in several large, heavy packages, emptied our Litter Genie, and always made sure everything was taken care of before she left. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely loves cats and treats them like they’re her own, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Christy. We’ll absolutely continue booking with her whenever we travel.”
“Corrine is meticulous and adhered to all the instructions that I left for my cat. All the photos that she took showed how happy my cat was. I would 100% recommend her to other people. Thank you so much Corrine!”
About: As a kid, my family would often take care of our friend's dogs, but we never had one of our own. Now, I'm a dad of three young humans and one bundle of fluff named Simba. Oh and let's not forget Victoria, our rabbit. We love havinganimals, and we still love watching other people's animals too. I'm also offering to house-sit, and take other people's dogs (either solo or with my Simba) for walks. I mostly work from home and never leave a dog alone while in my care. We take several walks per day, including morning, lunch, and at least two in the evening. I have a comfortable living space, a nice yard area, nice green space and a park nearby. When dogsitting, I take very little space for myself and leave the space better than when I found it.
“Marta took fantastic care of our cats while we were away for an extended time on vacation. One of them is quite shy and he was comfortable enough to come out and say hello 🙂 She provided photos daily, which was wonderful for an anxious cat mom like me!”
“Molly was great with my cat who she boarded for close to two weeks. She sent me regular updates and videos of him. It was also an added bonus that she had her own cats which was delightful company for him.”

In my day job I regularly work with NYPD, the court system and other federal and state agencies - therefore I have a high level security clearance.

As I prepare for college, I have a flexible schedule and look forward to providing dependable, loving care for your pets. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. As the owner of Ziggy and my service dog, Eclipse, I’ve learned how important routine, patience, and positive care are.

“Gary was just amazing! He took great care of Scarlett. She had a wonderful time with him and his adorable fur babies. Gary was very communicative and easy to work with. He kept me updated with pictures and info so I could enjoy my vacation knowing my pet was in good hands. He even bought special food and treats for her. Highly recommend”
“Brandon F. was FANTASTIC! He gave regular updates and sent photos of our Lucy to us. It was so great to be able to relax and know that our beloved pet was in good hands with Brandon. Would absolutely book him again!”

“Travis and Roberta were critical in helping us get our dog settled the first week we had him! They were so kind and patient with him. He loved going over to their house when we couldn’t be home! Their dog was older than ours and was also patient and gentle with him, so it was great socialization for our pup! We will definitely be booking with them again in the future!”
“Michael was fastastic with my poodle. He took our last minuite and we were very happy. My dog slept all the way home so I could tell he was tired from being given attention and being played with all day. I would not hesitate to use Michael again.”

About: I have loved and cared for dogs my whole life. I am starting my journey to become a trainer. I would love the opportunity to care for your amazing best friend(s). Dogs are amazing loving creatures and not one is the same! I have two rescue dogs of my own. One is Miss (Queen) Kona an Australian Cattle dog mix who my family agrees is just about perfect. She is the reason we adopted Buddy, he is a special needs dog with anxiety and a multitude of issues we have been working through.

About: I have been taking care of pets for over 20 years, starting with my first job as a dog walker and pet sitter. I have continued this on the side in addition to my full-time profession (teacher) and would love to provide an open door for your dog(s) as well! My schedule is very fluid and I get multiple breaks throughout the day, so there will be very little alone time for your dog, however, as a teacher and a coach I have some weekdays that are busier and your dog may be left in the home for 2.5 hour windows until I return from coaching. *currently on paternity leave and home all day* I will ask you to provide any specifics in terms of pet care for your dog prior to having me pet-sit, unless there are no special requests. If no special requests are given, I take the dogs out about 4 times per day - twice for short bathroom trips, one short walk, and one extended walk. If the dog is older or lower energy I will adjust the extended walk to another short walk.
“Maria was so gracious and sweet with my cavapoo puppy for daycare. She has great energy and he went right to her and I know he had a great experience there. She even took him on his own walk. He was very chill when I picked him up not dying to leave like he has been at other places. I'm very grateful I found such a high quality place to bring my dog so close to Nyack. Will definitely be back.”
About: I’ve had dogs in my life since the fourth grade, and I truly can’t remember a time without one! Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs of all kinds—whether for neighbors, family, friends, or even friends of friends. I’ve cared for puppies up to senior pups.Dogs have always been a part of my everyday life, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. We absolutely adore our Chihuahua, Romeo, and we’d care for your furry friend just like we care for him — with love, patience, and lots of cuddles. My husband and I split our work-from-home days, so someone’s almost always around during the week, and we're both home on weekends. We do not go out much. We are home bodies and like it that way. I have a fully wooden fenced with chicken wire backyard and live in a quiet, dog friendly neighborhood with very little traffic. If your pup needs a crate, that’s totally fine we can manage that otherwise, they’re welcome to roam free and make themselves at home. We only have one resident dog, a sweet little Chihuahua whose favorite activity is sunbathing and napping.
“Diana was great and so patient with my dog. My dog was very nervous and didn't want to go with her but she was so kind and loving, she went with her. She spent the whole day with her and kept me updated throughout the day. I would highly recommend her. In fact, my dog is going back two more days this week to Diana.”
“Patricia is great! She watched my 4 month old pup for the first time today and showed him a very fun and caring day. She was very helpful with advice and tips on how to train him and we’re very grateful. Once you talk to Patricia face-to-face, it only takes a couple of minutes to see she loves and cares about dogs! I highly recommend her if you need your pet watched and cared for. A+++”

“We had an excellent experience with Michael from Rover. From the very beginning, he demonstrated outstanding communication by ensuring we brought all the necessary supplies and asking thoughtful questions about our three furbabies' care. He was always responsive and replied to our messages promptly, giving us confidence that our pets were in great hands. During their stay, Michael went above and beyond by sending us daily updates with pictures and messages, which gave both my fiancé and me peace of mind. He also carefully followed all of our care instructions, including cleaning our pets' eyes as requested, showing genuine attention to detail and compassion for their well-being. It was clear that Michael truly cared for our three furbabies and treated them as if they were his own. We greatly appreciated his professionalism, reliability, and dedication. We would highly recommend Michael to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter, and we would not hesitate to book with him again.”
“Home away from home! Very comfortable leaving our 2 labs with Ken and Irene- they love them like they are their own:) We get lots of pics too - so great because we do miss them when we’re not with them. Thank you again Ken & Irene:):)”
“Sridevi and her husband were great! Took great care of our lab, including providing cooked meal as per his schedule. Very easy communication and timely updates, with lots of pictures and videos that kept us up to date on his whereabouts. I would gladly refer her and use services again as needed.”
“Monica was great! I was so nervous since this would’ve been the first time I ever leave my dog for more than a day. I felt comfortable with her boarding my dog since our first initial conversation! From the moment I dropped him off till the day I picked him up I was completely at ease. Throughout my dogs stay she kept me well informed and sent me plenty of photos! I can tell he was having tons of fun which kept me worry free. I will definitely book Monica again!!”
“Yasmeen is so great with my dog, Taco. She is reliable and definitely knows how to take care of a dog. I was comfortable knowing Taco was being well cared for the weekend. Yasmeen will follow your dog’s care instructions to the tee.”
“Roberta and Travis were great to work with. Fast communication and our NOAA was happy and exhausted at pick up! She played with their pup Marshall and came home a very content pup! We will definitely use them again in the future!”
“Grace was excellent with our dog, Leni. He had some serious separation anxiety when we dropped him off and went on a hunger strike for several days. Not only did Grace keep us hell informed, she went above and beyond in trying to make Leni feel comfortable in her home and went as far as spoon feeding him to get him to eat. We're so thankful for all that she did to take care of Leni. I would highly recommend Grace to anyone looking for a loving and caring home in which to leave their pup while traveling. Thank you, Grace!!”
“This was our second time having our pet stay with them, and once again, we could tell how happy and excited our pet was the whole time! 🐶❤️ Even though we were away traveling and couldn’t be together, they sent us lots of pictures and updates, which made us feel like we were right there with our pet. We’re always so grateful for the loving care and attention they give. Thank you so much, as always! 🥰”
“Bianca was an absolute gem! My dog spent a couple of days with her, and I couldn’t be happier with the care and attention she provided. From the moment they met, Bianca made my dog feel comfortable and loved. She didn’t just stick to the basics, she took my dog out on little adventures, making sure they had fun and stayed active. I highly recommend booking with Bianca.”
“My dog Abby and my daughters dog Owen have previously only been left with family members. This was their first time being left with someone other than family. Doreen made us all feel comfortable leaving them in her care. The picture, video and text message updates we received while away left us feeling content that our dogs were being well cared for.Both dogs came home happy. We would not hesitate leaving them with Doreen again in the future.”
“Pricilla was wonderful with my dog. I was very nervous since this was my first experience but turned out to be better than expected. Pricilla updated me with photos each day which was great assurance. I will definitely reach out to Pricilla in the future!”
“Amazing host! They offered a meet and greet before boarding. During boarding, they shared many photos and updates such as what they’ve played and their appetite. I felt very comfortable having them watch over my dog.”
“I can’t say wonderful things about Lieb! Truly a remarkable and dedicated pet caregiver. From the very first day, it was clear how deeply he cares for animals and the well being of the pets in his care. Also the very first day, receiving a picture of my pup became the highlight of my time away. Waking up to that familiar, happy face and another warm photo before bedtime gave me such comfort. And honestly, it made me smile way more than I expected. Lieb is the best!!!”
“Jocelyn has watched Tofu a few times now, and Tofu always comes home happy, clean, and healthy! Jocelyn is a great sitter, and I plan to book with her again! I highly recommend Jocelyn for anyone in need of a dog sitter :)”
“Valentina took great care of my dog, Nubya! She was responsive and friendly throughout all of our communication and shared frequent updates with pictures. It's clear from talking to her that Valentina loves dogs and I am so glad to have found her for when we need someone to watch Nubya!”
“We were worried that our Laima would have a hard time with separation anxiety, (first time away from us in the 2 yrs since we rescued her) but Rene and her pups made her feel right at home. The pictures she posted spoke volume on how well Laima enjoyed her stay! We hope to use Rene again soon!”
“Joanna is amazing! She took such great care of my dog, and I felt completely at ease knowing my pup was with her. She has a large, securely fenced backyard where the dogs have plenty of room to run, play, and burn off energy. It's clear that she genuinely loves animals and treats them like her own. I appreciated the updates and the care she provided throughout the stay. I would absolutely recommend Joanna to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable dog sitter. We'll definitely be booking with her again!”
“We had such a great experience with Michaelangelo! We had a last-minute need for someone to watch our almost 2-year-old Boxer, Walter, who is VERY energetic and has some separation anxiety. Michaelangelo said yes without hesitation, which we really appreciated. He has two Pomeranians of his own and a great fenced-in yard where Walter could run around and get all of his energy out. Michaelangelo sent us pictures and updates every day, which really helped us feel comfortable knowing Walter was doing well. He was also very quick to respond anytime I had a question. Walter had a great time and came home happy! We’re so happy we found Michaelangelo and would definitely recommend him to our family and friends. We will absolutely use him again! ❤️”
