Doggy Day Care in Woodstock

About: Hello! I’m a professional writer who works from home and often watches my neighbors’ dogs just because I think it’s fun. I joined Rover to help others who might need last-minute dog sitting. My own golden retriever Emmett chills with me all day and we go for walks around the block at lunchtime and we’d love for your friend to join us! I host one dog at a time (in addition to Emmett). I’ve been around dogs and pets of all kinds my whole life and am happy to just spend some quality time feeding, patting, walking or running with a good pooch. I’m super comfortable with all breeds, just maybe not strong enough to handle anyone over 100 pounds unless they’re super well trained. I’ve seen Emmett and my previous dogs, Henry and Teddy, through all kinds of ear infections, hot spots, and geriatric arthritis treatments and am really good at finding ticks! My brother has Emmett’s brother, Gary, so you’ll see the two of them in a few pics together. I’m a remote freelance writer so my schedule is very flexible. I walk Emmett every day at least three times a day so it’s really easy to add an additional dog to the mix. I’m home all day so we all hang. Our yard is unfortunately not fenced but because I spend a lot of time at my computer I balance that with a lot of midday dog walks. When your pet stays here it’s very chill; as long as your dog gets along with Emmett they’ll have full range of the house and can snooze wherever and then we’ll go walk about around the block a few times, which nets out to be about a mile.

“Jane’s home is welcoming & relaxed. Our Sadie was nervous her first day of Doggie Daycare but was one of the pack by the I returned later in the day to pick her up. THANK YOU JANE!! Sadie will be back for another day with her doggie friends soon.”

About: Loving, Full-Time Dog Sitter with a Friendly Beagle Mix! 🐾 Hi there! I'm a full-time, stay-at-home dog sitter offering a safe, loving, and attentive environment for your furry family member. I'm home all day, every day — so your dog will never be left alone or without care. I share my home with my sweet 2-year-old beagle mix, who is well-behaved, friendly, and absolutely loves the company of other dogs. Whether your pup is playful or prefers a more relaxed vibe, we’ll make sure they feel right at home. With plenty of playtime, cuddles, and personalized attention, your dog will be treated like one of the family. I’m happy to accommodate special needs, feeding routines, or any quirks that make your dog unique! Let me know if you’d like to set up a meet-and-greet. Looking forward to caring for your pup! 🐶❤️ I currently work from home remotely so will be able to give your pet the attention s/he deserves. I also take several nature walks throughout the day in the Catskill Mountains. Caring for pets—whether in my home or a client’s home—is all about creating a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment that supports the pet’s routine and well-being. I tailor my care based on each pet’s individual needs, personality, and the service I’m providing. In my home: When pets stay with me, I ensure they have a dedicated space that feels calm, welcoming, and secure. I maintain a clean environment, provide plenty of exercise and enrichment, and stick closely to their feeding, medication, and sleep routines. I supervise interactions with other pets (if applicable) to ensure everyone gets along safely. In the client’s home: I respect the pet’s familiar environment and stick to their established routines as much as possible. This includes timely feeding, walks, playtime, administering medications if needed, and giving them companionship and comfort. I also provide regular updates to the owner, including photos and notes about how their pet is doing. Whether in my home or theirs, I always treat every pet as if they were my own—with patience, kindness, and attention to detail.

“Rosalie was SO GOOD and patient with our nervous chihuahua. She sent great updates and he had a lovely time in her home and fenced yard. We highly recommend her for dogs of all sizes! :)”

“This was his second visit, he did well. Nicole sent me pics and updates on how he was doing. ( He’s clingy and a mama’s boy lol ). I'm so grateful that we found Nicole. I truly believe he will come out of his shell. I believe he will blossom with her as time goes on.”

About: I didn’t get to experience the joy of growing up with dogs or cats but as soon as I was able I began taking in fosters from the NYC shelter system. It was quite a learning experience spending time with many dogs (and a few cats) of all different types and personalities. I no longer foster but I bring the experience and dedication from working with so many shelter pets to caring for your furry family members. And as a pet parent now myself I have been through many sitters so I understand what makes a good one! A note on boarding and meet and greets: I’m happy to have boarding candidates come by to meet me and check out the space but I do not do meet and greets with my own dogs. My dogs are dog friendly but they are too chaotic and excitable to meet new dogs and owners right away. New dogs are kept separate at first and introduced at their own pace when everyone is calm. This minimizes stress for everyone and allows for better interactions. I currently work out of the house Monday/Wednesday/Friday but my schedule is somewhat flexible. The rest of the week I work at home and I am often available all weekend. Dogs in my home have access to a securely fenced large yard for running and fetch, as well as a quiet neighborhood for walks. If the weather is warm dogs have access to a dog door so they may go outside as they please. If your dog likes to play with other dogs mine will certainly be happy to accommodate but they can also have separate spaces if quiet time is needed. In your home I will make every effort to keep your pets schedule as familiar as possible while offering lots of love and stimulation. As someone who has had many sitters come through and stay at my house I understand the importance of trust and cleanliness so you can be away without worry.

“Romy was happy staying with Suzanne. Suzanne was very accommodating due to heat wave and kept Romy inside and cool. Would definitely use her again when we are in the area.”

“Communication with Amy and Chris was smooth and easy. They're both very caring, and Boo had a good day with Chris. I will say that given Boo's energy level -- he's a hunting-dog mutt who loves to run --he's probably better off where there's a fenced yard or an opportunity for long walks...but this is no reflection on Amy and Chris. It was our choice to give them a try.”

“We left our bichon frisée with Eleanor for the afternoon, and we were delighted. She was friendly and warm, and our pooch did well in his brief stay with her. I recommend Eleanor if you need someone to watch your pup.”

“My Murph deals with separation anxiety and I have been looking for someone local for when I need a sitter. Chastity was understanding, and while Murph was nervous, he definitely played himself out and has a relaxing evening after I picked him up. Thanks so much!”

About: I would love to take your dog for a walk or hike in and around the Woodstock area. I have many years of experience owning dogs and cats, and dog and cat sitting for friends since I was a kid. I have also spent time walking dogs at animal shelters and am trained in pet first aid and cpr. I love big dogs, little dogs and anything in between :) I'm usually available during the day and some evenings and weekends. I love to hike and would also be happy to hike with your dog. I'm passionate about health and wellness and natural living. I'm originally from the UK but have been living in NY for over two decades. I live in the Woodstock area with my two daughters, our two rescue dogs and our rescue kitten. I’m usually out walking dogs in the morning and working from home in the afternoons. My dogs love to play with other pups and we enjoy going on long walks or taking care of pets in our home. I’m also available for drop in visits at your home, or for your dogs to stay at our home while you are away. I always keep dogs on the leash and make sure we get plenty of time outside. I have plenty of dog toys and beds in the house for playing and naps.

“Marielle took great care of my little Zuzu! My puppy started the day sad about me leaving her there and by the end she was totally bonded with Marielle! She was also totally tuckered out so she clearly got plenty of exercise.”

About: Hello! My partner and I have dog-sat for friends many times, but the request doesn’t come frequently enough! We’re happy to host your pet and treat it as if it were our own. We work nearby our apartment and can walk your dog during the day. We are fine with pets on our furniture and in our bed, but will respect any training you have in place. We’ll joyfully take your pet on long walks and adhere to feeding schedules. I have trained my family dogs in the past, and are happy to teach your pup a few new tricks! We ask for well-behaved, house-trained dogs OR crate-trained provided you have a crate. We’ll adore your pet completely while you’re away with all the attention you would provide to be sure it doesn’t get too lonely without you! Happy to send through photo updates so you can sleep easy knowing they’re in good hands. I have been working from home and accommodate just about every dog’s schedule! Generally, most of the dogs we sit are walked 2-4 times a day and fed twice. We have a spacious and secure 2 bedroom aparment and are generally home all week, with lots of lounging around on the weekends as well. We always prioritize your pet’s needs above all else and will comply with their typical schedule.

About: Hey there! I've walked and sat dogs (not sat on) on and off for the past 16 years, as part of dog sitting agencies and doggy daycares, for friends and family, as well as for my own dog. Caring for furry creatures is one of the most therapeutic antidotes to city life, and because dogs and other animals put me in such a good heart and head space, I'm always present with them and return the favor. I've cared for very young puppies, as well as elderly dogs and cats with special needs. I also have experience with birds, having owned birds myself. I've administered inhalers for asthma and walked dogs twice my size. I love every animal I come to meet, even those who don't warm up right away. I work from home part-time and set my own schedule, so my weekly availability is very open and flexible. I'd be happy to adjust my plans whenever possible to fit in a walk or a drop-in same day. I care for all pets as I would my own, giving a mix of attention, gentle discipline, and affection in the amounts that each moment calls for. Ensuring that your furry friend feels safe and comfortable in my care, whether they are in my home or their own, is of utmost importance to me. I carry myself with a calm, confident presence when meeting new dogs, to make sure we start our relationship off on the right paw.

About: I’ve been around animals since I was a child and grew up on a farm in Puerto Rico, so caring for different kinds of pets comes naturally to me. I’m very attentive, patient, and mindful of each animal’s needs. I always make sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved, and I treat them as if they were my own. I go the extra mile to keep them happy, relaxed, and well-cared for.🌻 I work a part-time job, and in my free time I hang out with animals. Taking care of pets really grew on me—it just feels natural. I love being around them and seeing all their different personalities. It’s cool how every pet has their own little vibe. I’m a nature-loving person who enjoys long walks and runs. My time with pets is always great, and I’m sure they have a blast too! I’m very mindful when it comes to animals — making sure they’re comfortable, energized, and happy is a must
