Natasha did a great job with our kitties! This was our first time using the Rover app and we were a little nervous about it, but Natasha sent us updates that put us at the ease (including letting us know when we had packages delivered) and we came home to happy kitties. We will definitely reach out to her the next time we need a sitter.

Kaylee was great! Our dog Penny really liked her and she knew exactly how to deal with her over-active energy. She followed instructions really well and has a calm disposition. Took great care of my kitties, too. We'll definitely call on her again for future needs!

About: I've been taking care of dogs since I was five years old and continued to get more dogs. I have dog sat for multiple friends and family rating from dogs and cats. As far as training animals, I did grow up with having to train them so I do have some experience. I am currently working part time and go to community college but will be able to manage and work out a schedule that will be accommodating. I have 3 dogs that have invisible fences outside so they can roam free without getting lost, going to the road, running off. I have a big yard surrounding my house so they are used to running around freely. When it gets too cold they come in to the house or garage with my father. I am used to walking dogs as they do get walked on occasion at home or if we have them out of the house. I do not off offer services that welcome pets into my house but I am accommodating as necessary and will offer services at your residency.

About: I feel very proud that whenever I meet an animal we’re almost Instantly best friends. They say that dogs can sniff out honest and kind people. I feel very skilled at building trusting connections with pets and making sure they are happy when you come home! I am able to keep them safe and entertained, handle medicine, food, etc. I have a long list of repeated clients and growing that list helps me support myself and my artistic career! I hope this bio stood out to you because I'd love to spend time with your pet so you can have a stress free day away from the house! I have a very flexible schedule. I work many different gigs that make my schedule super flexible! I am able to make trips during the day to care for your pet while you're at work and I am also able to hang with them in the evenings if you decide you want to have a night out! I like building trust between animals. Repeated visits with pets are very important to help reduce stress on them. I give them space upon first meeting to give them the opportunity to approach me when they are ready to do so. until in no time we are besties.

Sophia did an amazing job watching my 2 dogs! She sent detailed updates, lots of photos, and went above and beyond to make sure they felt comfortable while I was gone for 10 days. She maintained a high level of communication and I never had to worry. I highly recommend her for taking care of any pet you need!

About: I have taken care of all different types of pets since I was young. I’m very comfortable administering medication to those who need it, playing with the young energetic animals, and being sensitive to older ones who may need extra care. I currently work full-time but I am one a hybrid schedule so I am home all day on Monday, Thursday, and Friday. I usually have things to do on the weekends but with enough notice I can certainly work around that. I have one 3 year old cat who is very friendly, quiet, and a bit of a cuddle bug. He is comfortable with other dogs and cats. I have a fenced in porch and a walkable safe neighborhood.

About: Growing up with dogs and taking care of the neighborhood dogs I'm no stranger to the amount of attention a fur baby needs. With a BA in Zoology and over 3 years of professional care with dogs I can't wait to meet your family! My day job at doggy camp keeps me pretty busy but I can't wait to hang with your fur baby on my days off! Your animals boundaries are my top priority. It is important to me that your fur baby and I can create a relationship where they look forward to my visits. Every animal builds trust differently and there's no rush

About: I adore animals. I have grown up with cats and dogs my entire life. When I did not have a pet of my own I always have asked friends and family to take care of their pets when in need. People have always relied on me with their animals as they know I show love and I am very attentive. I have mostly trained my young puppy who has a lot of energy, with the help of a few wonderful sitters. I understand behavioral training, being kind but firm. Teaching with kindness and showing the animals the way rather than teaching in fear. I give a lot of attention and am able to read their body language well. I work freelance so I am available intermittently. But when I am available for sitting I am present to give the animal full time care, so if you have an animal who has separation anxiety and doesn't I take the dogs out first thing in the morning for an hour sometimes even 2 hour run in the park. a few small walks in the day and another longer walk or run in the afternoon. I also love to take the dogs on hikes. I do not have a crate as I did not do crate training with my dog but if you want to provide one I am happy to. My apartment is puppy/dog proof. I have a big yard although it is not fenced on one side so I always watch the dogs when I am out there. I have a nice big dog park near my place. I am currently working freelance, as previously mentioned. Reach out to me and I will tell you when/if I am available. I really enjoy animals company and I work in the city so this is something I like to do when I am home in Hudson and not working. I do allow my dog on the bed and couch in my own home, but I do encourage him to sit on his own bed. I can follow any rules that you wish that aligns with you and your pets needs.

About: I have worked with herding dogs, guard dogs, sled dogs, service dogs, and pets of all ages. I treat dogs with patience and compassion and believe in training the individual dog in front of me with their owner’s goals at the forefront! I have thousands of hours of hands on experience and countless hours researching training and animal behavior. I am a self-employed artist so my schedule is very flexible. I am happy to go into more detail about my living habits and daily schedule. My dog doesn’t “get into” anything he shouldn’t— including “stealing” his own food and treats, but through experience with my own puppies and client dogs I am well versed in taking extensive precautions to ensure the safety of animals in my home. I will not allow client dogs off leash but I have a 50 foot leash that is excellent for hiking with dogs. I am very observant of potential health issues/injuries. I am happy to expand upon the safety measures I take.

About: Hello! My name is Kerin, and caring for dogs has always been a passion deeply rooted in my family. My family and I run a rescue organization, Pooches Out of Puerto Rico, where I’ve had the opportunity to work with dogs of all temperaments and needs—from playful, energetic companions to those requiring extra patience due to fear, trauma, or pain. With extensive hands-on experience, I am dedicated to providing compassionate, reliable care for every dog as if they were my own. Whether your pet needs daily walks, playtime at the park, or personalized attention while you’re away, I am committed to making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. Whether you’re planning a long vacation or just a quick getaway, I would love to help care for your furry family members. Fenced yard or not, I can accommodate your dog’s individual needs and routine. And of course, you can always expect photo updates while you’re away for peace of mind! Please feel free to DM me so we can discuss scheduling and create the perfect care plan for your pets. I look forward to meeting you and your four-legged family members! DM me so we can chat about scheduling you a vacation whether it’s a long, extravagant trip or a short sweet little trip. I’m your girl and can’t wait to hear from you! It doesn’t matter if you have a fence or not. I can take your dog/s out for walks or go to play parks. You tell me what they and it consider it already done! Of course expect some pictures while your away!

About: I currently offer care just for cats but I am open to caring for dogs based on the situation. I'm an animal lover regardless of type I am a stay at home parent but both of my kids are now in school so I have lots of free time once they are dropped off and in the evenings when my husband finishes work. He also works from home which gives us a lot of flexibility. I will be very thorough in cleaning and refilling anything your cats need and I am more than happy to relax with them or play to get their energy out. I have a lot of experience with cats with all different personalities so I will do my best to help them feel safe and comfortable with me.

Dakota took care of my unwell dog when I had to go out for the day. She was very communicative, and texted and sent photos letting me know that appa was doing fine. She’s dependable, clearly an animal lover, and a really nice person. I highly recommend her and look forward to working with her again. Thanks so much, Dakota!
