House Sitting Adams Corners

“Courtney stayed the week with my cat, Cleo -- and she was fantastic! She was in touch at every meal, reassuring me that Cleo was eating (Cleo can be finicky) and getting her medication (pilling Cleo can be tricky) -- and she gave me peace of mind at every corner. I provided a very detailed binder of instructions, and then provided additional tips and tricks throughout my trip, and Courtney was open to all of it. She was patient and kind -- and I could tell upon returning home that Cleo really developed a bond with Courtney, which was so wonderful for me to see. I'm so grateful to have found Courtney and I would 100% recommend her to anyone who needs their fur-babies cared for in a loving, patient and reassuring way. Thank you, Courtney! We both look forward to having you back!”

About: I have been taking care of pets since I was a child! My love for animals has motivated me to enroll in vet tech school, starting this fall. I specialize in small mammals, such as rabbits and hamsters, and have owned my own. I have also cared for guinea pigs, parakeets, and aquariums. For dogs, I have experience working with both small and large breeds! I regularly look after my neighbor's dog, and love every opportunity I get to spend time with her. For cats, I have primarily done drop in visits, but have experience with administering medicine to shy cats by building trust over time. I currently do not own pets of my own, so I will be able to give your pet my full attention and care! I am currently spending my summer before starting vet tech school working part time, volunteering at local shelters, and shadowing at clinics. I work weekends, but can still do an early morning or evening visit if needed! Your pet's comfort and safety is my number one priority and I will care for them as if they are my own! Communication and trust is important to me, so I will update you regularly on their happiness and health.

About: Looking for more than just a quick walk or a busy kennel? I provide personalized, one-on-one care tailored to your dog's personality, age, and energy level. Whether your dog enjoys a neighborhood walk, a wooded trail hike, a sniff walk, puzzle games, fetch, or simply relaxing with companionship, my goal is to make every visit enjoyable, enriching, and stress-free. I have over 14 years of hands-on experience with dogs, including supervising groups of up to 30 dogs in a professional dog daycare and caring for puppy groups under 4 months old. For more than five years, I also organized dog hikes throughout Westchester County, NY, and Fairfield County, CT, giving dogs a safe, structured, and fun way to exercise and explore. My experience is strongest with Golden Retrievers, Labrador Retrievers, Doodles, Cavaliers, and other friendly companion breeds that thrive with individualized attention, exercise, enrichment, and companionship. While I welcome many different breeds, I always schedule a meet-and-greet first to make sure we're the right fit for each other. My own Golden Retriever, Kobi, was my best friend and adventure partner for over 12 years. Together we explored hiking trails, beaches, kayaking trips, road trips from Maine to Florida, and countless daily walks. He taught me that every dog is an individual with unique needs, and that is exactly how I care for every dog I meet. I believe many dogs are happier with personalized care than large-group environments. Over the years, I have learned to read canine body language, recognize stress signals, manage different personalities, and create a calm environment where dogs feel safe and comfortable. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, oral medications, and dogs that simply need extra patience and attention. My home has a fenced yard for supervised outdoor time and is just a five-minute walk from beautiful wooded trails. I intentionally keep boarding and daycare small by accepting only one guest dog at a time, or two dogs from the same family, so every dog receives plenty of supervision, affection, exercise, and individual attention. I also have a playpen available for puppies and young dogs who benefit from structured rest time. My apartment is on the second floor, so dogs should be be comfortable using stairs. While living in England, I helped care for a Golden Retriever, and later in Spain, I cared for a Yorkshire Terrier. These experiences, together with years of owning dogs, leading dog hikes, and working professionally in dog daycare, have given me experience with many different breeds, personalities, and energy levels. My approach combines practical experience with a calm, patient mindset. I am certified in Reiki and Emotion Code energy work and believe dogs thrive when they feel safe, understood, and respected. While every visit focuses first on your dog's physical needs, I also pay close attention to their emotional well-being. Services I offer: • Dog walking • Adventure walks and hikes (up to 2 hours) • 30-60 minute drop-in visits • Puppy visits and enrichment activities • Limited home daycare • Limited boarding for approved dogs For everyone's safety and comfort, I require a meet-and-greet before accepting new clients. I look forward to meeting you and giving your dog the same love, attention, and care that I gave my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I am self-employed as a bookkeeper and real estate agent, which allows me to work primarily from home and maintain a flexible schedule. While I occasionally leave the house for appointments, errands, or property showings, I am able to plan my schedule around the needs of the pets in my care. This flexibility allows me to provide frequent potty breaks, exercise, playtime, companionship, and close supervision for dogs staying in my home. I provide a safe, calm, and personalized environment with plenty of individual attention. My home has a fenced yard for supervised outdoor time, and I live just a 5-minute walk from wooded trails for walks and adventures. Dogs have access to a comfortable sofa, toys, and puzzle games for enrichment and mental stimulation. I live in a second-floor apartment, so dogs should be comfortable using stairs. I only accept 1 dogs at a time or 2 from the same family to ensure each dog receives plenty of supervision, exercise, and companionship.

“Always a wonderful trip knowing Artemis is safe with Alexandra. We get regular updates, photos and always come home to a sleepy, happy pup. Alexandra is our go to whenever we are away. 10/10!”

“Corinne was amazing! She kept my dog well looked after and comfortable. Was very communicative and a true relief of not having to worry while away. Thank you!!!”

About: I’ve taken care of my childhood dog from puppy to senior. I enjoyed training and grooming my puppy and making my senior dog a power bowl. I am a very active person - a hiker, marathoner, boxer, and cyclist, I can exhaust your furry babies however they want! And I particularly have a good sense of reading animal behavior, meaning if your dog needs a therapist, I am a very good listener;) I currently work flexible hours, so I have plenty of time to give your furry babies attention any time of the day. Boarding, walking and house sitting are all welcome weekdays or weekends. Boarding: I am in a 2bd condo with balcony without any pet in a quiet neighborhood. I am walking distance to a lot of trails (paved and non-paved) that your dog can take advantage of. Sitting: tell me your pet’s routine, I will be accountable!

About: I’ve had 6 dogs in my lifetime and of all shapes, sizes and personalities. I have never met a dog that I haven’t gotten along with and have been caring for mine and my friends dogs and cats when needed since I was 10. I trained each one of my dogs and take great care to respect them as the magnificent boys and girls they are. I really love animals of all kinds and meeting new ones is always the highlight of my day, and I look forward to meeting more! I’m currently applying to graduate school and studying for standardized testing, so my schedule can be as flexible as needed to accommodate for yours or your pets needs. I’m quite active with my dogs so I’m more than happy to deal with any energy levels in animals. That being said my care revolves around keeping your pets as happy as possible, and if you are ok with it I have a fully fenced in garden and three lovely dogs to keep them company!

“Erica was very communicative and a delight to work with. She did a great job with an anxious dog with separation issues and I’m really grateful she was available. Would definitely book her again!”

“My dog just went through a few stressful events that has made him very anxious around strangers but he was very comfortable with Joe. We did a meet and greet before booking he did not show signs of anxiousness; in fact he took to Joe immediately licking him on his face. Joe then watched him all day on back to back days over the weekend which went very well. My dog was relaxed all day and did not have any issues. Joe is very flexible, priced extremely reasonable and I look forward to using him again in the future.”

“Griffin was an great sitter for our animals. Very thorough with communication, and always sent updates with photos and how each of our pets were doing. It puts your mind at ease knowing someone like Griffin has your pets best interest in mind. We definitely will book with him again!”

About: I currently have two dogs one is 5yrs old and the other a 2yr old. I also go to the dog park daily so I am always meeting and spending time with other types of dogs. I am currently in graduate school to become a Social Worker and I have classes one day a week. This allows me the flexibility to pet sit overnight, and to work during weekends. * I want to note that I will be on break from December 11th(2025)-January 15th (2026), meaning I will have complete availability as I will have no classes or internship during that period To ensure safety I will make sure to know all the safety measures in your home and maintain these measures while you are away. Personally at my home we have a fenced in yard and before letting my dogs out I makes sure all the gates are locked we also make sure all doors to bedrooms are closed before leaving to ensure our dogs do not eat anything that could harm them.

“Maria was great. My boys loved her. She was very attentive to their needs and my need for constant check ins. She sent multiple photos daily which I appreciated so much. I will definitely use Maria again in the future. Maria cared for my boys like they were her own.”

“We were so lucky to get to work with Brant the first time we left our rescue pup, Rhett, with a sitter. Brant was extremely helpful, professional, caring and responsive. Rhett took to him right away, and we felt fully confident and at ease while away knowing that Rhett was getting great care and lots of snuggles and belly rubs. We got regular updates from Brant, which helped us feel connected and kept us in the loop, and he treated our home with care as well. We are already planning to work with Brant again and definitely recommend him to anyone looking for help with their pet!”

Lisa G.

“Collin and Hayden were great! They met us a few days before and our dog Leti loved them. I showed them around the home and our usual dog walk route, and they arrived promptly at the appointed time. I received photos of Leti being all happy throughout the day, and when I came home Leti loved them so much, she jumped up to give them full face licks of joy! I would happily book them again and recommend them to anyone else. As the parents of two dogs themselves they really know how to take care of dogs and make them feel all the love.”

“Thanks for your TLC with our little scruffy girl, Nicole!”

“Adrienne was excellent. My puppies seemed to really enjoy her company and sent updates with pictures. One of my puppies is tough - an intimidating barker - and Adrienne handled her with confidence. Very experienced and able to handle the crazy. She was very responsive and was able to help me out very last minute for a weekend overnight (within a week!). Would definitely recommend!”

“Sammantha is our go-to care taker for our rat terrier Indy. She is very responsive and treats Indy like one of her own. Indy loves when Sammantha comes to visit. Highly recommended!”

Tom M.

“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!”
