House Sitting in Ardsley

About: Hi! We are Alyssa and Michael :) We are both huge animal lovers and treat every pet like they’re our own. We’ve been caring for animals for years, especially dogs and cats, but alyssa also has experience with fish, rabbits, and birds. Alyssa used to work for a professional dog-walking company, Thumping Tails, where she worked with 50+ families, handling everything from walks and feedings to cleaning up, playtime, and just giving pets the attention they need while their owners are away. Even after leaving, a lot of those families have stayed in touch and still trust me with their pets, which means a lot to me. I’m happy to provide references if needed! We are both very comfortable with all kinds of dogs and have worked with different breeds (small to large, you name it), from puppies to seniors, varying energy levels, and even pets with disabilities or special needs. We both also have experience giving medications when needed. We are both cat owners ourselves, so we totally get that every cat has their own personality. We’ve worked with friendly cats, shy ones, and the “I’ll come to you when I’m ready” types. I’m very patient and make sure they feel safe and comfortable. We both offer walks (quick, short, or long), drop-ins, playtime, and can even help with pet socialization if that’s something you’re looking for. Also happy to just stop by to give your pet some love and attention! Right now we are not offering boarding, but we both have experience with house sitting through both freelance work and my previous company. We are both very easygoing, reliable, and really pay attention to the little details on whatever instructions you leave, l follow them closely to keep your pet happy and comfortable. Feel free to reach out anytime! We hope to meet you and your pets soon! — Alyssa + Michael🐾 Michael is available during the day and can accommodate day time walks and drop ins. Alyssa currently works full time M-F 9am-6pm, but available early mornings, evenings, weekends and holidays. We both offer house sitting, so feel free to ask for either one of us! We care for pets exclusively in their own home, where they feel safest and most comfortable, and I focus on keeping their routine consistent and stress‑free. our services include dog walking tailored to each dog’s pace and preferences; feeding and refreshing water exactly as instructed; administering medications with care and clear documentation; maintaining clean, tidy litter boxes; and providing socialization and enrichment through play, cuddles, or calm companionship based on each pet’s personality. During house‑sitting visits, we follow all home instructions, keep your space secure, and can also bring in mail, water plants, take out trash, and ensure everything is locked and cared for before one of us leaves, all while sending you updates so you always know how your pet is doing.

“This was our first time hiring someone to stay with our pup and Andrea was a godsend! Not only was she amazing with our dog, but she was in constant communication with us while we were away. We felt comfortable having her in our house and know that our dog had the BEST time with her. Any time we travel we are booking Andrea!”

“This was our first time using Catie, and we couldn’t have been more pleased! She was very kind and accommodating as our plans were rather fluid…and throughout her stay in our home, she was very communicative; sending pictures and updates, with most showing just how happy and comfortable our girl Zoe was with her new friend! Our dog and our home were both in great shape upon our return. We will absolutely use Catie again, for upcoming vacations or spot visits as needed.”

“Ellie was an excellent dog sitter. She arrived on time , even when we changed the time for her to come sooner. I explained to her that our dog is still new to us and in mid-training, so she should expect the walks to be difficult and she should keep them short. While we were out, she gave us constant updates, and told us he was actually doing great on walks and they got to explore, which meant he had a really good time even though we were out. When we came back he seemed so fulfilled! Also Ellie is awesome herself and knows a lot about the Westchester area. Highly recommend.”

“Antonio was a wonderful babysitter for my two puppies. One of my dogs has severe separation anxiety, and Antonio was incredibly attentive and patient with him. He kept me consistently updated throughout the day, was very communicative, and shared plenty of pictures, which gave me great peace of mind. At the end of the visit, he even offered helpful tips that I truly appreciated as a first-time dog owner. I would absolutely recommend him.”

“Theo did an excellent job taking care of our cats. We booked him to house sit our two cats while we were away for nine days. He followed all of our instructions, and we came home to happy cats. He has a deep understanding of cat psychology, and he spent a ton of time interacting with our cats. We really appreciate him going above and beyond and will be booking him again!”

“We were fortunate to have Dana house sit for us on relatively short notice. She watched our 13 year old dog and 2 cats. We received updates and came home to some happy pets and a tidy house.”

Peter K.

“Kamryn did an excellent job looking after our dogs!! She was attentive and sent lots of pictures to let us know how happy our dogs were. She made us feel like our dogs and home were happy and well taken care of. Will definitely be using her in the future!!”

“We hired Tenielle for 5 days to house-sit for our dog Toby, and highly recommend her! Our pup loved Tenielle’s company, and Tenielle was also very considerate with our house - keeping the common areas clean, placing the bedsheets in the laundry after her stay, and taking in our mail for us. She was also responsive to our text messages and sent photo updates regularly. Thanks again Tenielle! Until next time!:)”

“We are so grateful to have found our furever sitter Lina! Lina stayed at our home for a week keeping our dogs safe, well exercised and happy. She volunteered to take them out on fun excursions and walks. She asked us insightful questions in order to get a full understanding of their needs and set our expectations. She’s so thoughtful and responsible and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She was sure to include photos on a daily basis along with updates. We highly recommend Lina!”

“Maggie is amazing! She was wonderful with my dog who was experiencing some behavioral issues. She also kept me updated throughout her stay and left the house very clean! I’ll definitely use her again!”

About: My name is Robert and I absolutely love dogs in every way. I have had dogs my whole life and know how to care for different breeds with wide variety of behaviors and needs. Dogs are just as much family as anyone else and deserve to be treated that way. I’m based in beautiful Hartsdale, NY, just steps away from a large park that’s perfect for walks and playtime. I have a fully fenced-in yard, providing a safe and fun space for dogs to roam freely and get plenty of fresh air. I also partner with two other experienced Rover sitters, which means your pet will always have round-the-clock care and attention — 24/7! Pet care fits easily into my daily routine — I have open availability throughout the week, so I’m always ready to provide walks, playtime, feedings, and overnight care as needed.. I live in a house with a nice big fenced in backyard and I also have a very large dog kennel that can be used if needed. Plenty of room to run around.

“Joyce was an absolute pleasure to stay at our house and take care of our pup! She was great at communication, taking pictures, and loving our sweet dog. We will definitely be using her again! Highly recommend.”

“Jalyne did a fantastic job taking care of our dog while we were away for a week. She followed all our instructions, left the house clean, and our dog happy and well cared for! Highly recommend Jalyne.”

“Belkys was amazing! Our first time leaving our elderly dog with a sitter for so long, so we were nervous at first. So glad we chose Belkys- she did such a great job keeping us updating and making sure our pup was well taken care of. Would definitely book again”

Andrew M.

“Eric did a house / dog sit at my home for about a week. He was an excellent communicator and gave me great updates on how my pup, Lucy, was doing. The house was in great shape when I returned and Lucy was clearly happy and well taken care of. Would highly recommend Eric for any rover needs. Thanks!”

About: I have a deep appreciation for animals, which stems from growing up with various pets. I've had dogs and cats I trained and cared for since they were puppies or kittens. Even had a pair of parrots, turtles, and a snake! My genuine respect for animals is why friends and family continue to trust in my enthusiasm to extend reliable and loving care to their little ones. I hope to provide you with the same peace of mind that your pawed bestie will receive a happy and nurturing experience. **Please note: I am not offering pet boarding at my home. I will go to your home for Drop-In Visits or House Sitting (no overnights). I have found it's less stressful for your little one(s) if they are in a familiar environment. I currently work part-time with flexible hours, so I can be free to meet your pet's schedule! With advanced notice, I can try to accommodate any schedule. I want to carefully learn your pet(s) routine so I can provide a similar environment for them. I know it can be nerve wracking leaving them behind, so I'll make sure you receive updates from your bestie!

“This is the second time we had Izabela stay with our pets and she did a fantastic job once again! She is so loving towards them and is really quick with communicating with us which is a huge plus. Not to mention she leaves my home cleaner than I left it😍 You should definitely pick Izabela as your pet sitter if you want someone to treat your pets & home like their own (:”
