Dog Sitting Valley Cottage

About: I have always loved animals and helping others. I’ve cared for many different pets over the years while working as a nanny. I even volunteered at a veterinarians office where I would help care for sick or abandoned pets. I am in college, which gives me plenty of time to care for your pet. My schedule is extremely flexible so I’m available most days/times. I am there to ensure your pet stays safe and happy, so I will always ask for your pet’s individual preferences that way I can support them in the best way possible.

I pay close attention to doors, gates, leashes, and anything else that could affect their safety. I also make sure to follow any specific instructions or routines you provide. I understand that every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their personality, needs, and comfort level. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pet is being treated with the same love and care I would want for my own.

About: I have always owned/ cared for pets my entire life, which makes 25 years of caring for pets. I went to SUNY Alfred State College of technology, where I received my associates degree in veterinary technology, as well as a bachelors degree in technology management Fall of 2021. I started off volunteering at animal shelters in the fall of 2016. I worked as a Kennel assistant throughout the years of 2016 to 2020. I worked as a Veterinary Assistant from 2020 to 2023. I am currently a Veterinary Technician (Emergency animal nurse) at Veterinary Emergency Group. I have animal training, grooming, and Veterinary medical experience. I work a full time job at Veterinary Emergency Group three days a week. 12 hour shifts. I can also bring pets to work with me as well. So I am available all days out of the week. I do not have a fenced in yard, but there is a hiking trail around the corner from my home where I walk my own dogs daily. Pets will never be put in a crate. (Unless you prefer for them to be crated) They are welcomed to walk around my house, on the couch, and in my bed. I feed my dogs twice a day and they get walked 3-4 times a day. Whenever I have to run errands they stay at home with pee pee pads located around the house.

“Monica had been the best dog help we could dream of. our Charli loves her so much. We booked her for 8 days of drop in visits, and every day that she was with our Charli she takes lots of pictures and write notes of what she did to Charli ( like a summary of her visit) , which me and my hubby really loved. We are booking her again june to november while im away for travel work… we love you Monica”

About: I started walking my neighbors’ dogs, then my friends’ dogs and then my family's dogs. Walking dogs was becoming an extremely joyful experience for me. I was able to gain knowledge on different type of breeds and the amount of dogs I walked had gradually increased. Whenever owners would go on vacation, I realized that I was the first person they would contact. They appreciated how I attended their dogs with love and care. I have a clientele that has been with me for more than 3 years. I am able to stay home and tend to the pups full-time. I have a fully fenced yard as well as activities/toys for them to play with. I also have multiple crates and beds for the dogs to lay in.

“Hannah is absolutely amazing! She took exceptional care of my two dogs, Max and Romeo, and they both adored her from the moment she walked in. Her kindness and warmth were immediately evident, and I could see how comfortable my dogs felt around her. Hannah went above and beyond to ensure they were happy, and received plenty of attention and playtime. It’s clear she genuinely loves animals, and her gentle approach made such a positive impact. I couldn’t have asked for a more caring and responsible pet sitter. Highly recommend Hannah for anyone looking for someone who will treat their pets like family!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs with a range of personalities and energy levels, from playful puppies who need lots of exercise to older dogs who prefer slower walks and plenty of attention. I make sure each pet’s feeding, walking, and play routine is followed closely and keep owners updated with photos throughout their pet’s care. Punctual, gentle, patient, and dependable. Typically will be able to spend at least 30 minutes with your pet for a drop in visit and more if they need to be walked, or watched for longer. Flexible with timing. I’m currently in grad school and have a flexible schedule to provide care for your pet, whether it’s a drop in visit or a walk. I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and stress free environment. I follow each pet’s routine and the owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any other specific needs. I’m attentive to their behavior and surroundings and make sure doors, gates and other areas are secure to prevent accidents or escapes. I treat every client’s home with the same care and respect I would want for my own, and I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is safe and happy while you’re away.

About: I grew up in a big family with lots of pets including dogs, cats, rodents, and birds. I have been successful in self-taught basic training of dogs. I am a graduate student who plans to have pet care be a source of income that fits around my schedule. I have classes during the week and currently live on campus which is why I cannot provide care in my home. I have owned many pets in my life and have cared for different ages from puppies and kittens to seniors. I enjoy promoting enrichment activities and physical exercise.

About: Growing up with dogs taught me something early: pets are family. Outside of my full-time remote tech consulting gig, I provide high-touch based pet care for families throughout Westchester and Manhattan. My goal is simple: create a calm, trusted second home where your dog feels genuinely safe and loved. I intentionally keep bookings limited so every dog receives individualized attention, consistency, and companionship. Whether your pup is energetic and playful, senior, recovering from surgery, or simply loves a calm environment, I tailor care around their exact routine and personality. What makes Kristine different: ✓ 100% work-from-home flexibility ✓ Fenced backyard + Hudson River walks ✓ Real-time photo/video updates ✓ Pick-up/drop-off assistance available ✓ Medication administration experience ✓ Senior & post-surgery support ✓ Calm, low-volume household ✓ Overnight house sitting with light home care included For pet parents who home-cook meals, I’m also happy to prepare fresh dog meals in my home using your provided ingredients. For house sitting clients, I believe premium service should feel complete. In addition to caring for your pet, I help maintain peace of mind by bringing in packages/mail, taking out trash, watering plants, and keeping your home tidy. I’m building long-term relationships with both dogs and their owners. Many of my clients become repeat families, and that trust means everything to me. Let’s schedule a meet & greet and see if we’re a great fit for each other. 🤍 My work-from-home schedule provides complete flexibility for boarding, house sitting, walks, feeding, and bathing. I have my own vehicle to help with pick-ups and drop-offs. My home has a fenced backyard, and located close to the Hudson River, offering safe outdoor access and scenic trail walks. For house sitting, I maintain your pet's exact routine in their familiar environment while also helping collect mail/packages, watering plants, and light cleaning to ensure you return to a tidy home.

About: I’ve had two dogs in my lifetime each for 12 years and I’ve always loved to be around them and to make sure they were safe and felt happy. I treat each pet like family. My reliability, calm demeanor and love for animals make both pets and their owners feel at ease. I will walk the dog everyday and I can board dogs every weekend. I have experience taking care of a French bulldog named Randy. Sometimes I go there to take care of him and other times I bring him to my apartment. I have space in our apartment for the dog to roam around and I live in a safe dog friendly neighborhood in which we can take the dog for long walks near a park and a pond.

“Sarah was great (again!) with our elderly cat Morris. She was able to look after him at short notice, and took a snow storm in stride to get to our house. She was kind and patient and handled all his medical issues without a hitch. Highly recommended.”

“Cheryl & Elmar each dropped-in to visit my new 10 week old puppy who is adapting to his parents going back to work. Hudson absolutely loved playing with them and they provided plenty of pictures and videos to ensure Hudson was comfortable and having a great time.”

About: I've been around dogs my whole life and currently have two big dogs of my own. I also have extensive experience dog sitting, both large and small dogs, for extended periods of time. I'm comfortable with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels, and understand the importance of maintaining their routines. I treat every pet like family and always aim to make them feel loved, safe, and well cared for. As a medical student, I have developed excellent time management skills and maintain a structured schedule. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and make sure to set aside dedicated time for walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship. I am reliable, organized, and committed to maintaining each pet's normal routine so they feel comfortable and well cared for while their owners are away. My top priorities are safety, trust, and making pets feel comfortable in their environment. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, preferences, and any special instructions from their owner, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise needs, and favorite activities. I always keep a close eye on pets during walks and playtime and make sure they have plenty of attention and companionship. In a client's home, I respect both the pet's routine and the owner's space, maintaining a clean, calm, and secure environment so pets feel safe and cared for while their family is away.

About: I currently have two shih tzus myself. I am very familiar with picky eaters and stubborn walkers. I am extremely patient and will love your pet as much as you do! I know how stressful it could be to leave your pet and having someone you can trust is key to enjoying yourself. Sitting and walking pups brigs joy to my life! I am a nurse and only work three days so I have a very flexible schedule. I love the dog parks and love walking around town seeing all the cute pups. My previous dog had a seizure disorder which made me extremely comfortable in administering medications. I understand elderly dogs as well. Any needs your pet has I would be happy to do so!!

About: Hi! I am a concierge pet sitter offering a very unique, high-touch service to clients from the Metro New York City to Montreal! Unlike other Rover providers, I have been operating for over 20 years all over the world - I was actually one of the early sitters on Rover! I also have shelter, reactive, and anxious pet training and experience. If you are seeking a mature, proactive, and attentive carer for your home and your loved ones, you've found a good one. Most of my client experience and reviews (which extend far beyond Rover) are that I provide peace of mind while they are away. You won't find another service like this. Because of this, you'll find a slightly different pricing structure,* which is explained in your complimentary introductory meeting and provides maximum flexibility for you and care for your creatures! Come see what everyone has been raving about. *Rover fees are added on to the price of booking. One of the many things that set me apart is the amount of time and quality of care your pets will get with me. They will be sick of me already by the time you get home! Your pets will get an experience! Active, safe play will be initiated, behavioral enforcement you're working on will be continued, and, oh yeah... free cuddles all day!
