House Sitting in Altona

About: I’ve taken care of neighbors and families pets for extended periods (~7-10 days). I found a litter of feral kittens this past summer and cared for them until finding them homes. I’ve also watched many breeds of dogs from chihuahuas to mountain dogs. I’m available most days and hours as I don’t have much of a routine as this is my current source of income during my time of from college. My personal dogs are able to be off leash constantly as I am from a farm background which allows them to have a lot of space. The dogs I’ve watched often have fenced in yards that I’ll play with them in and let them outside on a schedule the owner has requested.

About: While I don't have any special training with animals, I like to listen to what the owner and the animal needs for care. I genuinely love hanging out with them. I love how excited dogs get when I walk into a house, or how free they feel and excited they are for a walk. Or when cats rub up against you and love getting pets. Pets are like people, they're all unique and have their own personality and needs. That's what makes pets awesome, how different they all are. I'm currently working a few hours each week from home, so I have plenty of free time to hang out with pups, or kitties, or take dogs for a much need walk or bathroom break. Well that depends on the animal, because each pet is different. how comfortable they are with me, how many times do I need to be introduced to them, how the owner would like me to care for them. Theres a lot of factors that come into play, so I am willing to do what the owner would like to be done for their own pet.

“Hiba was amazing with our 1 year old dog Lucy and our adult cat Nina! She was very attentive and made sure to get and follow all the relevant info for both pets. She was very sweet yet very professional. She knew how to handle our dog and it showed she had experience with puppies in the past. Would not hesitate to call her again to sit for our pets :-) Thanks again Hiba!”

“Sarah was great with our high energy dog! We were out of state for the weekend and Sarah stayed in our home and took great care of our dog and our home. She was very responsive as well. We’ll definitely be reaching out to Sarah next time we’re away!”

“Julia was awesome with Isaac and kept me updated throughout the day with pictures and messages. I felt very comfortable with her immediately and will absolutely reach out to her again with future bookings! I also want to note how accommodating she was - arriving at 5:30am so I could get to an important meeting. I so appreciate her punctuality and ability to take in Isaac’s care plan so quickly. Isaac is a shy rescue and it takes a special person for him to warm up so quickly. Thank you, Julia!”

About: Je travaille avec les animaux depuis 3 ans déjà dans un hôpital vétérinaire et je garde les animaux des membres de ma famille depuis que je suis toute petite. Je ne fais pas vraiment d’heure à la job plus qu’il faut les derniers temps alors j’ai du temps pour prendre soin des votre. Je retourne au étude cette automne, alors je vais avoir un peu de temps aussi pour en prendre soin vu que je n’est pas une grosse horaire chargée. Je n’es pas d’animaux dans l’appartement pour l’instant, mais je suis présente toute le temps quasiment et il y a des belles endroits proche de chez moi ou emporter votre animal pour se promener et c’est des endroits sécuritaires pour votre animal. J’ai pas de clôture, mais j’ai une grande cours pour que votre animal puisse courir comme bon lui semble. Je suis toujours prête aussi à intervenir en cas d’urgence pour être sur que votre animal soit bien.

“Shelby was amazing!! She kept me updated with pictures and walks and took amazing care of my house while I was away! Shelby gave me complete peace of mind knowing my pup was in good hands! I would highly recommend her and would love to have her watch my dog again in the future!”

“Heavenly Hayley! My cats are demanding and complicated little goblins but Hayley made me feel like she was their biggest fan. I knew Hayley was indulging all their quirky needs so my time away was even more fun and relaxed. Her presence made everyone's life better. I hesitate to write the review she deserves because she will get too popular on Rover and I might never be able to leave home again.”

“Emily was a fantastic dog/house sitter!! She sent updates/photos of our Pup, was very responsive and professional, and left our house cleaner than when we left! We would not hesitate to book with Emily again!”

About: 🐾 Hi, I’m Daniel — a lifelong animal lover and reliable sitter based in Plattsburgh, NY. Over the years, I’ve cared for six dogs of my own and have regularly walked and dog-sat for friends, neighbors, and local clients. Whether it’s a brisk walk, some much-needed playtime, or a cozy companion while you're away, I treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m a 26 year old creative/entrepreneur focused on my growth but pet care is something I’ve always enjoyed, taken seriously, and do as a side hustle. My schedule is flexible, especially on holidays, and I’ll do everything I can to accommodate your pet’s needs and routine. I understand pets can get nervous when their humans are away. That’s no problem — I’m calm, patient, and focused on making sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for while you're gone. If you ever have questions, I’m always just a message away! 🗓️ My hours are flexible! I currently work part-time at a restaurant in Plattsburgh but when the day winds down, I'm a self employed musician/entrepreneur. Don't hesitate to reach out with the dates and times you need cause I'm sure I can fit your furry friend into my week! 🏡 Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I make sure they’re well exercised, fed, and relaxed — whether we’re out for a walk or just hanging out. I’m gentle but confident when working with animals and understand that each one has their own unique needs and behaviors. I’m here to make them feel at home, even when they’re not.

“Cristine is the one you want to hired to take care of your dog. She is amazing! She came to our house to take care of our dog and we can tell he had a good time and was well take care of. She left our house spotless and we feel she went above and beyond to take care of Roscoe. I would recommand her 110%. And for sure we Will hired her again”

About: I’ve been taking care of pets for 6 plus years. Whether it be my own or family friend's, animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember! I’m currently working part time and have more time in the afternoon to look after your four legged friend! Afternoon works best for my work schedule. I currently have a fenced in backyard and a dog of my own that can keep your pet company while you’re at work or on vacation!

“Eliza took excellent care of my “elderly” dog who needed eye medication twice a day. She sent a lot of pictures which helped my anxiety about being away. I would definitely use Eliza again if I travel in the future.”

“Lindsay was awesome. Communicated clearly throughout. Showed up on time and left the house just as I had when I left. The pets were all safe and happy and she even left some cooked food so we wouldn’t have to shop the minute we got home. I highly recommend her and will have her pet sit again.”

“Jess watched our dog and cat for the first time over the weekend. She let us know when she arrived and sent a photo. She was responsive to our texts so we felt comfortable being away.”

About: I’ve had dogs since I was born and always had a passion for dogs and animals in general. They are literally all treated like royalty :) I work full time remotely. That allows me to always be available for day walks and to supervise them and be available whenever the dog is in need of anything. My work is very flexible so I can play with the dog even during the day and not leave them alone I have a fenced yard and live close to a few parks. I never send the dogs out alone as I am always there to supervised, even if fenced areas

“Rachel was great with Gibson, we could tell right away she has great affection for dogs. She sent multiple photos every walk/feeding letting us know our pup was in good hands while we were away....we strongly recommend her and will be using her anytime we need a pet sitter from this point forward!”
