House Sitting in Arden

About: My life is enriched by the furry friends in it and between my vast experience and love of animals, your pet will be in truly great care! I currently care for children part time, and have lots of free time when I am home and my (human) children are in school. I look forward to spending some of my available time with your pup or kitty! I will come to your home, exercise, play with, feed, provide medication, clean up after, or happily partake in any other necessary parts of your pet's routine.

“Teadie cared wonderfully for our 3 dogs as if they were her own, and even took our Rambo to an emergency vet appointment. She went above and beyond and we will definitely use her again in the future and recommend her to anyone who needs a great dog sitter.”

“David took care of my dog and diabetic kitty this past weekend. He listened to all my concerns with my cat’s diabetes and took great care of him! And he also took great care of my large and energetic dog. Thank you!!”

“Nicole was excellent from start to finish. She was prompt, communicative, and caring for our pets and home. She sent us a ton of photos and left the house in a pristine condition. I would absolutely recommend her for all of your pet and house sitting needs.”

About: I’ve been taking care of pets my entire life, and my family and friends look to me if they need me to dog sit (or pet sit) when they’re away or unavailable. I love animals, and so getting to take care of furry friends is an absolute treat!! I’m currently attending college, so monday and wednesday mornings im out of the house from 8-12. any other time, if given enough notice, i can be available for you and your pets! I live in a family home with my dog daisy, who is very friendly and about 14 years old now. She never fails to be entertained, and I love her with all my heart. I will do the same for your pets :)

“Maya was great. Our Lex was as calm as can be. He was well looked after.”

About: Prior to moving towns I used to pet sit for all of my neighbors. Pets large and small, it didn’t matter but it was always fun. I’m starting my MBA next fall so anything earned on here will go towards that goal of mine! I’ve owned pets for over 12 years and have been taking care of others for 6 so almost all throughout high school and undergrad. I can walk multiple dogs at once, great with elderly animals, experienced with puppies, able to administer pet medication, etc. If you have questions reach out! Currently I am taking two online summer courses for my MBA with Sacred Heart University. I go to the gym 4 times a week and work drop in bartending shifts sometimes on weekends. Since I make my own schedule pet care fits very well into it because I can tailor mine to fit the animals needs! I don’t offer in home care at the moment because my sister recently got hip surgery so I’m waiting until she’s more comfortable to have other peoples pets at home. Otherwise I have two sweet dogs who have coexisted well with pets that I’ve taken care of in the past as well as cats they stay in their own room.

About: I have extensive experience caring for dogs. I enjoy taking them on walks, engaged with them in play, and provided attentive, compassionate care. If you’re looking for someone to care for your dog, you’ve found the place. Im a direct support precessional with a relatively flexible schedule. I live in Suffern, NY. I like to pet sit/walk dogs when I have free time. I provide food, water and a comfortable place for your fur-babies to sleep. I crate my dog and will crate upon request. I can administer medications as needed as well.

“Yhakerra took excellent care of our Bailey over the weekend. She kept us updated so we had one less thing to worry about while attending our son’s wedding. Will definitely be in contact for any future needs.”

About: Dogs have been part of my life for many years. While living in England, I helped care for a Golden Retriever, and later, in Spain, I cared for a Yorkshire Terrier. After spending over 12 wonderful years with my own Golden Retriever, Kobi, I understand how important it is to find someone you trust to care for your dog like family. Kobi was my adventure partner and best friend. Together, we explored hiking trails, beaches, kayaking trips, road trips from Maine to Florida, and countless daily walks. He showed me how important exercise, enrichment, routine, and companionship are for a happy dog. For over five years, I also organized dog hikes throughout Westchester County, NY, and Fairfield County, CT. These adventures gave dogs the opportunity to exercise, explore, socialize, and enjoy time outdoors in a safe and structured environment. In addition, I have professional experience working in a commercial dog daycare, where I supervised groups of up to 30 small and medium-sized dogs, as well as puppy groups of up to 7 puppies under 4 months old. This experience taught me how to read canine body language, recognize stress signals, manage group dynamics, and provide safe, attentive care. My approach combines practical dog experience with a calm, holistic 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 and comfort. I specialize in one-on-one care for puppies, seniors, and friendly family dogs that thrive with individualized attention, enrichment, companionship, and exercise. My experience is strongest with Golden Retrievers, Labrador Retrievers, Doodles, Cavaliers, and similar companion breeds that benefit from individualized attention, enrichment, exercise, and companionship. Services I offer: • 60-minute drop-in visits • Dog walking • Adventure walks and hikes up to 2 hours • Puppy visits and enrichment activities • Overnight pet sitting in your home • Limited home daycare and boarding for approved dogs I believe many dogs are happier with personalized care rather than large-group environments. Whether your dog enjoys a quiet walk, a hiking adventure, puzzle games, puppy enrichment, or simply companionship while you're away, I tailor each visit to their individual needs. For home daycare and boarding, I intentionally keep things small and personal. I currently do not have a dog of my own and only accept one guest dog at a time, two dogs from the same family, or up to two compatible puppies. This allows me to provide close supervision and individualized attention. My home includes a fenced yard for supervised outdoor time. I live in a two-family home, and my apartment is located on the second floor, so dogs should be comfortable using stairs. A playpen is available for puppies and young dogs who benefit from additional structure and rest periods. For the safety and comfort of everyone involved, I require a meet-and-greet before accepting any new client. This allows us to make sure your dog is comfortable with me and that we are a good fit for each other. I look forward to meeting you and your four-legged family member! 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.

About: Just rejoined Rover after a 7 year hiatus and excited to help care for some new dogs again. I grew up in Connecticut, where my mom taught me a home is not a home without a dog. Took care of 4 family dogs throughout my childhood and into adult life; my parents still have our yellow lab mix Micki at home who I dog sit. I am working remote and in between Westchester and Dutchess County, where I co own a rescue dog with my GF. Looking to meet some new dogs and help in any way possible; dog walking, overnights, playing, feeding and anything else needed. My schedule is extremely flexible right now so let me know how I can help you with your pet. I am currently working remote with a very flexible schedule and am active from New York City to Westchester to Dutchess County and everywhere in between. I am extremely responsible, understanding and experienced with dog sitting, boarding, walking, playing and taking care of any dog while respecting every owner’s home.

“Amy was amazing. Great with pets, and with the people too.”

“Christy was a wonderful dog sitter for us. She kept us up to date on how things were going and sent us pictures of our dog playing. When we can home our dog was happy and our house was in perfect shape. We are so grateful.”

Natira M.

“My two Jack Russell’s had a great time with Shannon while she did a 5 day house sit with them. Shannon regularly kept us up to date on their wellbeing with pictures and texts. She also was able to help us out for an extra day when our flight was delayed returning home and ensured the dogs were still taken care of while we were delayed getting home. The house looked great when we got back and we had two happy pups. Thanks again Shannon!”

About: I have taken care of all animals from dogs to cats of all ages and sizes. I also have administered medication to seniors and have trained my own dog when he was a puppy. I am currently a college coach. I have a lot of time during the day to let pups out and play with them. I am very flexible. I will take your dogs out to play in the backyard or on a long walk / hike if you don’t have a fenced in yard.

“We really appreciated Devi coming by our apartment. She is really great with animals and sent us videos of our cat every day 😻. She left the apartment in a great state and we truly valued Devi spending time and playing with our cat. Highly recommended!”
