House Sitting in Ancramdale

“Rose was amazing! She went above and beyond our expectations! Thankfully, she was available (fairly) short notice and worked with us every step of the way! She sent us pictures of Bolo everyday (to reassure my girlfriend) and kept bolo (who can have really bad separation anxiety) from freaking out. She also finished drying/folding our laundry for us! We really appreciate everything she did, and would 100000000% re-hire her/recommend her for whoever is looking for a dogsitter, walker or anything in between.”

About: I love all kinds of nature and wildlife, but especially dogs, cats, and reptiles! I have experience handling many kinds of animals through my biology research, and I also trained my own puppy! I'm in the northwest corner of CT for the summer before I move out west to start my PhD in biology (did I mention I love animals?). I'd love to meet your pets while I'm around! I’m currently working part-time and have lots of flexibility to stop by for walks, especially during weekdays. My schedule is very easy to work around. I love being outside and would be happy to take your dog on walks or hikes in the area. I’m also happy to stop by and play with your pets or just give them some love!

About: Animals have been a part of my life forever, and caring for them isn’t a job for me — it’s truly a passion. I’ve owned animals my entire life and currently have four dogs, who are very much like my kids. I understand how important trust, consistency, and love are when someone is coming into your home to care for your pet. I specialize in drop-in visits and dog walking, making sure your pets get the attention, exercise, and companionship they need while you’re away. Whether that’s a refreshing walk, playtime, feeding, litter box care, or just some extra cuddles and reassurance, I treat every visit as if it were my own pet. I’m also a mom to three girls who absolutely adore cats and dogs and have grown up learning how to be gentle, respectful, and loving with animals of all personalities. My goal is simple: to give you peace of mind and make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and happy in their own home. When I visit, your pets aren’t just being checked on — they’re being genuinely cared for. ❤️🐶🐱 I am of mom of 3 school aged girls! Mid day walks are my speciality! During school days off- I have little helpers that love playing with dogs and cats! (With your approval, of course!) I offer drop ins and overnight care when requested. Dogs are always happiest in their own homes. I have 4 dogs , and can accommodate 1-2 more depending on size and temperament.

“Sofia was great! We felt really happy with her care for our dog Tanda. We requested very last minute and she was so quick to respond and help us out. Would recommend!”

Jack S.

“Arsen and Sophia did a great job. They communicated well, sent funny pics and we returned to a calm dog who clearly liked them and was sad to see them leave. House was clean. Would hire them again anytime.”

“We recently hired Emily to stay overnight with our two dogs and our super senior cat while we were out of town. We’re very careful and selective about who cares for our pets, so it says a lot that we felt very comfortable with her. Emily was attentive, reliable, and followed our requested schedule — from feeding timelines to bathroom breaks and walks. She was great about keeping us informed and sent pictures throughout her stay. It was clear she genuinely cared about our animals and took her responsibility seriously. When we returned home, we could tell our pets were well cared for. As a thoughtful touch, she even left homemade biscuits for us, which was incredibly kind. We would absolutely trust her with our pets again.”

Anthony E.

“Great experience with Cassandra house sitting my two dogs while I was out of the country. Dogs seem to have had a great time and it was so nice to get “proof of life” photos and videos every few days. I’m sure hoping she’ll be available to care for them again when I go away inJuly.”

Barbara U.

“Elisha was great. She wasn't intimidated by Arlo's epilepsy which was a huge relief to me. She seemed immediately at ease with the boys and they with her. When I got home my dogs were calm, happy and not anxious so I could tell that they were indeed comfortable with her. I will definitely book with Elisha again.”

Sharon P.

“We had a wonderful experience with our pet sitter Margaret! She took excellent care of my dog, Otto, and made sure he was happy, comfortable, and well-loved while I was traveling. I really appreciated the regular updates with pictures and great communication—it gave me so much peace of mind. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable, responsible, kind and caring pet sitter!”

Vanessa R.

“The second time Christine stayed with Suki, my kitty was totally comfortable with her. Watching the two of them upon my return home, I could see there was a real bond between them. Beyond ensuring a pet's physical needs are being met, its emotional well-being is the most important and most challenging thing a pet sitter needs to provide for. I am happy that I can be away from home knowing that Suki will be cared for and contented in her own space with someone she trusts and loves. Christine kept me well informed with updates and photos while I was away, too, which kept ME happy!”

Carena P.

“Emily is AMAZING and did a fabulous job house + pup sitting while we were out of town. Her warm and caring manner instantly won our pups over and they had a wonderful weekend together. Emily’s proactive communications both before and during her stay here were very reassuring and appreciated. Can’t say enough great things and hope to use Emily many times in the future!!”

Paula P.

“This was our first time using Rover and Angie was WONDERFUL!! Our dogs loved her, our house was spotless after her stay, and she was great about communicating and sending pictures and updates. She’s also just a kindhearted, mature, responsible person and we’d absolutely book her again:)”

Michelle C.

“Nicole is kind, responsive and attentive. She did a great job staying at my house with my dogs while I was traveling. Nicole sent me photos and updates, including playing ball with my high energy bernadoodle! The house was clean when I returned which I really appreciate. I will definitely book Nicole again!”

Tamar B.

“We booked Taylor at the last minute when another dog sitter had an emergency—and she is a rock star! She understands animals and works hard to make sure she is accommodating their needs. So glad we found her!!”

Katherine T.

“Janice is fantastic. I was in desperate need of a cat sitter for an emergency trip just days away. Janice responded right away and arranged a meet and greet for the next day. She connected with my cat (who is usually a little shy of strangers) right away, and I immediately relaxed knowing he and my home would be in good hands. Janice was very communicative and took care of everything. I came home to a happy boy who had clearly had fun playing while we were away, and I am so grateful to her. I will definitely entrust Janice again for future pet care needs.”

Jessica H.

“I felt so comfortable leaving my animal kids w Kimberly! She went above and beyond what I asked of her. Am hiring her fo 3 weeks in September!”

Milly K.

“Jessica is very nice and responsible. She took great care of our home and beloved goldendoodle, Olive. I highly recommend her.”

About: Please note: Pricing can be flexible depending on the situation, length of stay, and number of pets. I’m always happy to talk through the details! I’ve been pet sitting for over 15 years and animals have always been a huge part of my life. I’m one of those people who naturally gravitates toward dogs wherever I go. I also have six dogs of my own (including large breeds), so managing different personalities, routines, and energy levels is something I’m very comfortable with. These days I focus on in-home pet sitting, because most pets are happiest staying in their own space and keeping their normal routine. I know how hard it can be to leave your animals when you travel, so my goal is always to make it feel like they’re just hanging out with a friend who loves dogs as much as you do. I have experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages — from energetic young pups to seniors who need a little extra patience and care. I’m also comfortable administering medications and following detailed instructions to make sure everything stays consistent while you’re away. I’m very attentive and tend to get pretty attached to the animals I care for. I’ll send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pets are happy, safe, and getting lots of attention while you’re gone. If you’re looking for someone experienced, reliable, and genuinely excited to spend time with your pets, I’d love to connect. Pet care is part of our everyday life! My wife and I both work remotely about 90% of the week, which gives us plenty of time and flexibility to care for our own six dogs — and any visiting pets, too. Our days naturally revolve around feeding, walks, playtime, and snuggles, so incorporating other pets into that rhythm fits right in. In our home, pets are treated like family. We have a spacious, safe property with fenced areas for play and exercise, and we keep routines consistent with what each pet is used to, including feeding schedules, walks, and downtime. Since my wife and I both work from home most of the week, someone is almost always here to give attention and care. For client homes, I follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible - from meals and walks to playtime and cuddles - to keep them comfortable and stress-free in their own environment.

About: Hi! My name is Andrea. I have lived in the Hudson Valley for almost 4 years now, and have been working in the area off and on since 2014. I live with my partner, Mike, and precious pup Kona. I have always lived with dogs. And recently, have been thinking about getting a cat! I am an Occupational Therapist in a school district full time and love to farm and bicycle during my off time. I’ve done house sitting and dog sitting previously and enjoyed the work. I have my own vehicle and am used to commuting around the Hudson Valley for work and for fun. I wanted to get back into dog sitting and pet sitting to assist in getting a new car and to get to spend time with pets! I have always been obsessed with dogs! I show that through meeting as many as I can when out in the community :). I am active person, so long walks and playing is something I can provide. I am open to any requests you might have and am great at keeping in touch with pet parents. I can always be available through text, call, or email. I’m so excited to meet you and your lovely pets!! I have a full time job, so weekends are my only availability. However, I am open to discuss any special circumstances! I might potentially be more available on a long weekend, when I am off from my school based job. I would want to care for your pets as you would or how you would want. I am great with a schedule and specific requests.

About: Hi y'all! I am an all around animal lover. My girls and I take any dogs that we are watching on walks with us every night, we have lots of fun. Pets are allowed on the furniture, unless you state explicitly state you don't want them to be. I prefer not to kennel overnight, but there are always exceptions to the rule! I am able to help with puppies and older pups alike; age is not an issue. Please ask any questions you may have for me, thank you so much we can’t wait to meet you! I am currently working part time but I am always available for nightly drop ins or for any early morning stops on my way in. I am always respectful of your safety protocols, gates are always double and triple checked, doors are always checked to be shut correctly. Food and water levels are consistently monitored. Instructions are always followed to the letter.
