About: I have been surrounded by dogs since birth and I have had a deep rooted love and passion for all animals from as early as I can remember. My parents bred our beloved family weimaraner when I was young and I was lucky to grow up surrounded by puppies as well as learning what it takes to raise and care for a dog. I am the fairy godmother to many of my close friends pets, as my love for them is nearly palpable. I have experience with many types of dogs, and I look forward to playtime & pushing some pavement with your precious pooch! I am available Friday-Sunday most weeks. I work as a flight attendant and am typically away from home Monday-Thursday. I am enthusiastic about the outdoors and can take your furry friend on beautiful weekend hikes. I live in Boiceville on just under an acre of land. My yard is not fenced in, however there’s plenty of space for your doggo to roam around under my supervision. Being in the Catskills there is also an abundance of beautiful places to walk and hike. I can feed, walk, play, board, crate (if needed), etc, in my home or yours.

About: My name is Sarah and I live in Kerhonkson, NY. I have been a dog owner for over 30 years, a majority of that time has been in a multi-dog home. I have always 'clicked' well with dogs, I attribute that to having grown up with them. I have experience working with dogs of all ages, sizes, and PERSONALITIES - from more timid, quiet dogs to impossible-to-contain. I am an active individual, so I am able to run more rambunctious dogs to burn off excess energy and just as happy taking a leisurely walk around the park. Most of all, I truly love dogs and caring for them brings me the most joy. I can't wait to meet your dog and I promise to treat him like he were my own. I currently work from home so I have plenty of time to take care of your pet. I’m available 7 days a week, most weeks! We have lots of land and space for your pet to enjoy themselves. Whether they enjoy spending time outside, swimming, or laying on the couch.

“Lexi was fabulous, Walter and Bageera were both very well taken care of and we were kept up to date the whole time. We missed our kids (pets) very much while we were gone but very confident that we left them in good hands with Lexi. NO WORRIES 😉 👍🏼”

“Amy was a wonderful sitter for our animals. We are so thankful for her help. She was very good at communicating with us while we were away so we knew everything was well at home.”

“Timothy was a great sitter for our elderly cat. He was patient, kind and easily administered medication for our fur guy. We absolutely will hire Timothy again when we’re out of town and know our cat Stoopy would be in good hands.”

About: I Work nights! I am off Thursday and Friday nights. I've rasied my 80lb. Female dog from when she was 4 weeks old to about 6 years. I'm very active and love to take my dog out for runs. Very disciplined and have taught my big girl to behave politely in NYC. I've taken care of huskies and smaller dogs like chihuahuas and poodles for neighbors as well! I work overnights and just moved to an Tamnersville. I would love to walk or just spend time with a dog. My dog is home on staten island with family and I miss spending time with dogs so much! Hygiene and cleanliness at home are priority. A lot of canine care is knowing what each dogs' wants and needs are. Each dog will communicate to you what they want and need. Communication with the owner is key along with ensuring the dog is well fed and stimulated!

“We are so grateful for Janice and Noah! They are reliable, conscientious, and very kind to our two kitties. They had helpful insights when one of them got very sick and shared our happiness when she recovered. Five stars, high recommendation!”

Lauren C.

“Daniel sent really cute pics and gave me thoughtful updates. I appreciate feeling like my cat was well cared for, and will definitely reach out next time I'm out of town!”

“Alisa was such a good pet sitter! Trustworthy, kind and absolutely perfect for the job. I couldn’t be happier to find someone not only last minute but also great communication and passion for animals! Thank you Alisa!!”

“We hired Kalyna for a home visit just to meet her and have her spend a little time getting to know our dog. Everything went great, and we hired her for a home visit next weekend. We look forward to working with her!”

About: I’ve always had pets throughout my lifetime from kitties, dogs, birds, fish, reptiles, squirrels that I hand fed and set free with my father- and many more. I worked in pet stores and help foster kittens when available. 💕 Look forward to meeting you soon. I work part time as a territory supervisor, and my work is flexible. I’m home every night and throughout the day leaving me with much time to care for your pets. I’ve given medications and feed depending on preference of pet and client. Each pet is unique to their way of being and I like to match the energy needed.

About: I used to be a veterinary assistant-Which gave me valuable exposure to animal handling, basic health procedures, and staying calm in stressful situations. I am now a full time student furthering my career. I have served clients across Ulster and Delaware county. I’m comfortable, reliable, and dedicated to giving every animal the attention, patience, and care they deserve. I genuinely enjoy meeting and caring for all types of animals, and I look forward to caring for yours! (: I’m currently in school- looking to graduate very soon. My availability is pretty flexible and I will be more than willing to work around my schedule to fit your fur babies needs. I feed them, clean up after them, give them medication if needed, bathe them, walk them as often as needed. If your animal is on a schedule of any kind, it will be cared for accordingly.

About: As a social worker, I'm highly attuned to both human and animal needs/issues, and love getting to know and cater to unique personalities - or provide loving care for those who are ill or have special needs. I started taking care of neighbors' pets at an early age and though we only had fish and birds and a cat at home, dogs and other animals became a special love of mine. I have been cat, dog, bird and other little furry friend sitting for over four decades and have done so for several years as a 5 star sitter on Trusted Housesitters. I love making new furry friends, both for sharing my positive, attentive energy with them, and for nourishing in the innocent sweet playfulness they often offer. The mutual benefits of animal care are no joke! As an avid traveler and travel writer (we social workers need periodic breaks from our big jobs), pet sitting has been a fabulous win-win-for-all! I love immersing in local scenes, and enjoy getting to know the nature, infrastructure, and pulse of new places. Perhaps most importantly, I love hunkering down for writing (I am a published writer in addition to being a social worker) with the delightful energy of furry friends beside me. They seem to like it too! I grew up in a small city, have lived in a major city for over two decades and LOVE being in more rural and remote areas too. You can count on me to bring my strong sense of professionalism and responsibility to your pets and to your home. I’ve often been told that other than happy pets, there was no sign I had even been there! I am currently freelancing/focusing my time on writing projects so I often have a flexible schedule....and love taking work breaks with furry friends! A veteran 5-start pet-sitter, I am new to Rover and am figuring out how the calendar and geography works so it can reflect where I am and when I'm available. Most folks comment that they can barely tell I've been there. Cleanliness, respect, and loving care are my hallmarks. I make sure to honor any requests and instructions for people's homes, which often have quirks and special needs -- and to of course respect privacy too, just as I would as a social worker. As for furry friends, they get exceptional, reliable, patient, playful, caring energy from me while I make sure that all their food, litter, or other needs are met.

About: I have always had a special connection with dogs. I grew up with dogs and treated them like part of the family. I have been primarily working as a pet nanny for 5 years for someone who traveled to Europe on a monthly basis. They are staying in Europe indefinitely so I am looking to add some new clients. I can offer your dogs fun playtime and a sense of stability by caring for them in their own environment. I am also available for walks and drop in visits. I send pictures and updates daily. Your best friend will be spoiled and pampered with me. I have a very flexible schedule with plenty of availability as this is my main job. I can also do long term sitting up to 6 weeks if necessary. I am responsible and professional and respectful in your home. Besides caring for your pets, I am happy to pick up mail and water plants.

About: I have been a pet lover & pet care advocate for as long as I can remember! I’ve been caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities my entire life. I’ve taken care of kittens, pups, rescued cats, & cared for other pets like bunnies, fish, & hamsters. Over the years, friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, and love their pets like my own which I do with a smile. Whether it’s an energetic puppy who needs to play & burn off some energy, or a sweet senior pup who needs extra patience and care, I adapt to their unique needs and personalities. I’m not just a sitter, i’m an emotional support human & a dependable companion for your pet while you’re away. I believe in consistent communication, lots of love, and making sure your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for. I love & care for them as if they were my own. I’m experienced with administering medications, sticking to routines, and keeping pets calm and comfortable in their own environment. Your comfort, peace of mind, & your pet’s happiness are my top priority! As someone who works from home and takes online classes, my schedule is super flexible; perfect for giving your pet the attention they deserve! I’m home throughout the day, which means your pet won’t be left alone for long stretches. Whether it’s a midday walk, playtime, or just some company while they nap, I can be there when they need it most. My routine allows me to be fully present and responsive to your pet’s needs. I can stick to their feeding and walking schedule, provide consistent companionship, and make sure they feel safe, loved, and entertained while you’re away. Being home all day also makes me a great fit for puppies, senior pets, or dogs who need a little extra TLC. When I care for pets in their own home, my goal is to keep their routine as familiar and stress-free as possible. I follow your pet’s routine closely & I make sure they’re comfortable in their space, following their usual schedule for walks, meals, playtime, and cuddles. Whether it’s sticking to their favorite walking route or knowing exactly how they like their food prepared, I pay close attention to every detail you share. I know how much the little details matter! Being in their own environment helps your pet feel more relaxed, and I’m there to make sure they feel loved every step of the way. I’m experienced in administering a variety of medications, including flea and tick ointments, oral chewy meds, and pills; whether they’re hidden in a treat or given directly. I stay calm and patient to make the process as stress-free as possible. I’m comfortable managing multiple pets and giving each one the attention and care they need. I treat your home with the same respect and care I give to your pet: clean, secure, and exactly how you left it. I provide regular updates with messages & photos so you can feel confident your pet is safe, happy, and in good hands & know everything is going smoothly while you’re away.

“Great communication and very nice! I would definitely recommend Michele and will be using her again in the future. My dog agrees :)”

“Christine was not only friendly and helpful but she was understanding of our dog’s breed and gave us such a piece of mind! She went above and beyond making it easy to highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to watch their pup. Thank you Christine!”

Amanda R.

“Quick reply, prompt visit, really good photos. When I got back, everything was in its right place and clean and fair. My dog seemed very happy as well. What more can I ask for? Also she did a tick check, which I didn't even think about for a quick walk. Very much appreciated. Thank you.”
