House Sitting Art Village

“Maria rocks! She was super attentive and loving towards our dog Snoopy - and set us at ease with her thoughtful updates and photos each day. She also took great care of our apartment:) She's everything you'd want from a dog sitter - genuinely affectionate, responsible, and responsive. We highly recommend her!”

“Boya is the best! We have two senior dogs that are pretty demanding in terms of medication and attention and we are always nervous about leaving them with a sitter. But Boya was great, sending us regular photo and video updates and putting our minds at ease. She is mature and responsible, and we will have no hesitation leaving our dogs and home in her very capable hands again.”

About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember and have spent years caring for pets of all kinds. Growing up, I frequently fostered animals and volunteered at a local shelter, which gave me experience with pets of different ages, personalities, and needs. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and care for their pets over the years. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, or just extra cuddles and attention, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability throughout the week, which allows me to provide attentive and reliable care for your pets. I love being active and enjoy going on walks, so daily exercise and outdoor time are something I genuinely look forward to. Whether your pet needs a quick check-in, a long walk, or extended companionship, I’m happy to work with your schedule and your pet’s routine to make sure they stay comfortable and cared for. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs they may have so I can provide personalized care. Having fostered animals and volunteered at a shelter, I’m comfortable working with pets who may need extra patience, reassurance, or attention. I maintain a calm, caring environment and always follow owners’ instructions closely. You can expect regular updates, photos, and open communication so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in loving and responsible hands.

“My best friend, Roquefort, a 13 year old Great Dane has been suffering with mobility issues, resulting from aging. Albert proved to be a godsend as I have commitments in NYC without someone to care for Roq in my absence. He strictly adhered to all the details of care we covered and even provided more. Albert's general demeanor was perfect as he is a calm person with sensitivities to the needs at hand. Handling Roq was not easy, as he is a large creature requiring assistance to move about. He made my apprehension fade, knowing he would provide devoted attendance to Roq's needs, with much gentle treatment and constant awareness of his needs. I'm very glad that Albert is now a resource.”

About: I have years of hands-on experience caring for pets, including my own dog and the pets of friends and neighbors. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I take the time to make them feel loved. My experience includes feeding, walking, playtime, administering basic care, and providing companionship. As an EMT, I am calm under pressure, attentive to detail, and committed to the safety and well-being of every animal. I currently work part-time as an EMT, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to accommodate a variety of pet care needs. Whether your pet needs regular walks, drop-in visits, overnight care, or last-minute assistance, I will do my best to provide dependable and consistent care. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy and make time for in my daily routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I treat every animal as if they were my own and take the time to learn their routines, preferences, and any special needs they may have. In your home, I will follow all care instructions carefully and keep your pet’s environment clean, secure, and stress-free.

About: I have had a dog at home all my life and have been volunteering at animal shelters for the past 4 years where I would walk dogs and socialize cats and dogs. I am a college student and have a completely free schedule over the summer. I can come on same day notice and can stay over night. I can’t offer my home for boarding but I can stay over at your house and am responsible and have lived alone and can clean do laundry and other tasks to keep the home clean for when you return. I can also come over and bring your dog out for walks.

“Joseph is very professional, great communicator, and he is so knowledgeable about dogs and their behaviors. Our dogs were treated like family and you could tell they were treated so well by how relaxed they were when we got home. Highly recommend!”

“Amanda watched my very elder dog and two rambunctious kittens for a week while I was out of the country. Amanda was fantastic. She was great with all the animals. She even offered (and took) one of the kittens to the vet when the kitten had a minor issue. I’d gladly use Amanda again.”

About: I love being part of the Rover community and truly enjoy meeting so many wonderful pet parents and their amazing dogs! When your pup stays with me, they’re treated like a member of our family and cared for with lots of love, patience, and attention. I work just one mile from home and am able to come home during my lunch break, so dogs in my care are never left alone for more than three hours at a time on weekdays. Mornings start with a potty break, breakfast, and some attention before I head to work. I return at lunch for another potty break, playtime, and any midday care needed. After work, I’m home for the evening with plenty of time for walks, dinner, and play. Dogs in my care spend a lot of time outside and enjoying our large yard. I love keeping dogs active with plenty of opportunities to run, explore, and burn off energy in a safe space. On weekends, school breaks, and throughout the summer, I am home most or all of the day, allowing for even more frequent potty breaks, outdoor time, and one-on-one attention. This setup works especially well for puppies, high-energy dogs, senior pets, and dogs who thrive with lots of human companionship. I will do whatever you request and/or are comfortable with as the owner, leaving the pet out during the day or crating. Whatever you think is best! I've even had dogs on a scheduled nap time :) open communication here is important! I will ALWAYS send photos. I’m happy to follow whatever routine you feel most comfortable with—whether that means free roaming during the day, crating, or a structured schedule. I’ve even cared for dogs who thrive on scheduled nap times! Clear, open communication is very important to me, and I always make sure to keep owners updated with photos and messages.

About: Growing up, my parents used caring for our two dogs as a way to teach me responsibility — and I ended up falling in love with the process itself. Animals are a genuine passion of mine, and I adapt my care style to fit each pet, whether they’re a high-energy puppy or a slower-paced senior. I love animals of any age, breed, or size. I am currently working a remote job over the summer that is incredibly flexible. I can fit pet care into any part of my day for any amount of time. I have a fenced yard and no pets of my own, so I can dedicate all my time and attention to your animals. I am adaptable and am ready to listen and adjust to your needs and preferences.

About: I was lucky enough to grow up with dogs and cats my whole childhood and have never spent a day in my house without a pet there. I love animals so much and it brings me so much joy to connect with them. I understand the patience and empathy it takes to get to know an animal and for them to feel comfortable around us. One day I hope to open up an animal shelter of my own on a big plot of land somewhere in the country and provide support to all kinds of animals. I currently go to college but I have afternoons and weekends free to play and care for your babies. I have breaks in my day as well in case your doggies get lonely or need a walk! In my home we let the animals come and go as they please with the doggy door, but we try and take the dogs on a long walk once a day to keep em healthy. We feed them dry food in the morning and wet at night. I try and spend a lot of time with my pets to create a familiar bond with them.

“Dominika was amazing. Our dogs can be challenging but she was great with them. She is excellent highly recommended.”

“Jennifer and Emily meet in the morning of the November 15. Emily can be very shy. She immediately like Jennifer. I certainly did too! She is so sweet. She talked so nicely with Emily. We disgusted how she can be shy and she is afraid of most things. Talked food time and bathroom habits. Jennifer left and then came back for the appointed time. Emily was very happy to see her. Jennifer provided many pictures of their time together while I was out. My Emily was happy to see me come back but, not about Jennifer leaving. Emily went to hide after she left. She was upset with me that Jennifer had left. She ignored me for the rest of the night. Jennifer had made quite an impression on her. Jennifer is an unbelievable person. Hiring her would be a blessing to you and your pet. I give her 10 out of 10.”

About: I am a private chef in the Hamptons, but I sit dogs consistently- especially during the culinary off-season. Out of my entire clientele, the dogs tend to be my favorite! I enjoy energetic dogs, puppies, etc. but am willing to take care of older, docile dogs too. When doing a sit I stay in touch with the client as much as desired, and text tons of photos & videos of their happy pups. I own two dogs, Nellie and Charlie, who are both very energetic, love to play-fight, and run. They are perfect to play with, and help a dog who needs to learn how to socialize. We play on the beach several times a week for a nice workout. (If you would prefer not socializing my family members can stay with them during our booking.) *Nellie: 10 year old, Chocolate Lab/German Pointer mix. Nellie can be a little stand-offish or avoid a dog, but can easily warm up with a little time Charlie: 9 year old Mini Schnauzer/Terrier Mix. Charlie loves about all dogs and humans, and doesn’t need any time to be ready to have fun My whole day can work for a dog's care. As a freelancer I am very flexible; of course the earlier we book the better to secure my availability. Pets in my home are a case by case basis. Although I offer daycare, I have two dogs and a small home. It would depend how our dogs get along. At a clients home, I use the info/instructions given to me by their owner and provide the best care possible. I will always be there. The level of care is always five stars. i adapt to yours / your dogs schedule. I am there to make your dog happy and you rest assured Fun time all the time with active dogs; caring and gentle with elder/special dogs. My work schedule varies but my wife can fill in when necessary.
