House Sitting Awosting

“Paula is the best. She stayed in our home and took care of our dog and cat while we left town for a long weekend. I instantly felt comfortable with Paula. She was very communicative, thoughtful, and patient. Our cat normally is uninterested in new people and I was confident that she would most likely hide while we were away but she actually came out quickly and socialized with Paula. Both our dog and cat loved Paula. We feel so fortunate to have found Paula and I whole heartedly recommend her service to anyone who desires high quality care for their pets!”

About: I’ve been able to train basic skills for families dogs within a day (sit, twirl, lay down). Often times just as a fun activity with the kids. I am keen on following specific directions to help keep your pet within their healthy routine! I am a graduate student, meaning I have more flexibility than most other people. Without the typical restraints of a 9-5, but the eagerness of a student, I am able to provide a wider range of services and support to your family. Families have been trusting me for years with both their children and their pets. I’ve worked in public education and have my fingerprints within the NYS database and have been carefully cleared with a background check.

About: I enjoy working with all types of animals, Small, Medium and Large types. Places like parrots, fish, non venomous snakes and of all types critters. My schedule is very open and flexible do to my availability as a disabled veteran. My day starts at 4 am and ends as needed bases. At home, I usually free range my dog on a 50ft tether when he isnt snuggled on the couch corner, my cats usually get a vertical climb and horizontal run time. #Zoomies, multiple litter boxes with weekly care. Bird feeder outside for there viewing and chatting pleasure. Ive taken the pleasure of not wearing smells that disrupt respiratory systems to exotics and other animals like reptiles.

About: Hi, I’m Erica! I grew up on a farm, so caring for animals has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve always loved animals of all kinds, and my experience goes far beyond cats and dogs. I’m comfortable caring for a variety of animals, including chickens, ducks, goats, fish, and other farm, household, or small animals. Growing up around animals taught me that every species—and every individual animal—has different needs, routines, and personalities. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions for feeding, fresh water, cleaning, medications, enclosures, and daily routines, and I understand how important consistency is when you're away. I’ve also had cats and dogs of my own and have years of experience pet sitting, so I’m comfortable with both everyday pet care and animals that need a little extra attention or specialized care. I’m a nonsmoker, and genuinely enjoy spending time outdoors and caring for animals. Whether you have chickens that need their morning routine, goats that need care and companionship, ducks, fish, or a combination of animals, I’ll treat them with patience, kindness, and respect—and follow your instructions carefully. I currently have the privilege of working remotely part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to work around your pet’s routine rather than leaving them alone for long periods. I can adjust my schedule around feeding times, walks, medications, playtime, and whatever routine helps your pet feel comfortable and cared for. When caring for pets in their home, I focus on keeping them safe, comfortable, happy, and as close to their normal routine as possible. I make sure they always have fresh water, the right food, clean surroundings, and anything else they need. I’m happy to give them space and simply stay nearby if that’s what they prefer, or provide plenty of playtime, attention, cuddles, and companionship if they’re more social. I also follow your instructions carefully and make sure your home and your pet’s space are left clean, safe, and comfortable.

“Lexi watched my three pets, including an older special needs cat. Her communication was wonderful - great question, photos and updates, and just a cheerful confidence that helped me feel very comfortable leaving them in her care. They and the house were in great shape when I returned and I could tell the cats and dog were well cared for. Thank you so much!”

“Erica came through in a pinch and provided outstanding service for our pets when we were in need. She is very friendly, understanding and flexible with her schedule and both of our pets felt at ease with her. During her stay she was excellent with communication and provided photos and texts that assured us that everything was going great!”

About: Hi, I’m Rachel! I’ll care for your loved one as if they were my own—whether that means long walks, playtime, or just extra cuddles. You can count on me to provide a safe, loving, and reliable environment where your dog feels like part of the family. I have a fully fenced 1-acre yard where dogs can play safely and freely, and as an athletic caretaker I’m happy to take them on long walks or runs to burn off extra energy. Whether it’s playtime in the yard or outdoor adventures, I’ll make sure your dog gets the exercise and attention they need. Please let me know of any special considerations during the visit. I will ensure and guarantee that your loved one is comfortable and has unlimited pets and snuggles while you are away.

“Oona watched our 2 chihuahuas and did an excellent job. She cared for our elderly dog and gave him his medicine. She kept us updated during our vacation and even tidied up the house before she left. We would definitely work with Oona again!”

“Tim is so great! Kind - big hearted - and took great care of our two Australian Shepherds while we were away. He sent pictures and updates and was so thoughtful.”

“Iliana stayed with my dog at my house for one night. She was very sweet and caring with my pup. I returned to an impeccable house and a happy dog. I will definitely book Iliana again when the occasion arrives.”

About: I have been taking care of animals for as long I could remember. Growing up I always had pets that I’ve cared for and learned from then on about feeding my pets to taking them for a walk so doctors visits etc. I’ve had a lot of pets growing up ranging from rabbits to guinea pigs, dogs, cats, hamsters, fish, ferret, turtle. All were very well cared for and very loved. I love being around animals and being able to help out people who are working long hours and need some extra help with caring for their loved fur baby. I’m very familiar with dog and cat sitting for other people and taking dogs on walks. I usually go to other people’s houses to care for the animals because I find it easier for the owner. I’ll always make sure your fur babies are happy and active by going on walks or even playing ball around the yard.

“Grateful to Elisha for a long stretch watching our very sensitive Cavalier. When we arrived home, Millie seemed calm, healthy and well cared for. While we were away, Elisha shared picks of Millie and stayed on top of her daily routine. It takes the stress away when you have someone who is reliable and conscientious. Will definitely book Elisha again.”

“William did a great job watching all our pets, especially our dog Rosie, who just really loves someone by her side (a lot). We had some unexpected travel changes and William was communicative and flexible as we worked it all out. He is prompt, responsible, and was eager to know the details of how to best care for our pets. Everything went smoothly and we're glad we found William!”

About: I've been lucky enough to have a dog in my life since I was 8 years old, and now I'm 20! My dog is 13 years old, and caring for her has taught me so much about patience and responsibility. She takes multiple medications, so I'm very comfortable with medication schedules and making sure pets receive the care they need on time. I've also looked after other pets for family and friends like my friend's 3 cats, Rocky, Pepper and Sage, during school breaks, and the cutest dog in the world, Abby. These experiences helped me become confident caring for pets with different personalities, routines, and needs!! I truly love spending time with animals, cuddling, playing, keeping them company, or just making sure they stay active and happy. I'm an outdoorsy person who enjoys hiking and walking, so I'd be happy to take your dog on walks and adventures if needed. I'm reliable, attentive, and comfortable with feeding and following special instructions to ensure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for! I’m planning to have an internship, so I’ll be working full days but will be able to periodically check in on your animals!! I love to play and spend time with them, and you can trust they’re in great hands! My puppy is 13 years old, and is on many medications, has specific feeding times and diet, but she still loves to play and go on walks! I’m super organized and take very good care of her.

“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!”

About: I’ve taken care of animals for family and friends and have grown up with them my whole life. I have experience with both large and small dogs I am currently attending college and am looking to make this my jobs while I go through 4 years of schooling! I love pets and always loved meeting new ones I have a fenced in yard and a huge downstairs living area where I stay with your pet! I also live by parks AND dog parks if you would like me to exercise your pet!

About: Aside from growing up caring for animals, I’ve worked at a dog daycare for about a year. During my time there I learned a lot about dog behavior and how to read their body language. Now, I am currently studying canine training and management at SUNY Cobleskill where I work with a variety of canine’s daily. So I am currently on summer break from school, so I can assure you I have plenty of time to care for your fur babies! I start my day off by making sure my babies are fed and have fresh water, followed by going out for a walk and playing outside for a little! I have a dog and a cat who is very shy. If needed I have a crate that can be used.

“Evelyn is awesome and I highly recommend her. She is professional, responsive, and most importantly very sweet with our dog, Lola. Lola has high energy, is extremely active, and requires a lot of attention. Evelyn took wonderful care of her over the weekend and when we got back, Lola was so relaxed and happy, it was like we never left. Evelyn took great care of Lola (and our house!). We highly recommend her.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life, I have owned and cared for multiple breeds of dogs and cats, big and small, and been a pet sitter for friends and family on and off for the last 10 years. As a result of my experience as a pet parent and sitter I am very comfortable with most breeds. I also have limited experience training full grown dogs as well as puppies. I am available for walks, check-ins, or pet sitting every day. I am also available for boarding on a case by case basis. My work schedule allows me to be present for most of the day, so I can remain attentive and take plenty of walk and play breaks. During the times that I am gone I am able to crate them if that is your preference or they can have free access to the main part of the house and I will check in on them regularly through the doggie cams. I am able to dog sit in your home as well as in my own home, which has a large amount of indoor space that they can roam around in, as well as a partially fenced back yard that they can play in on a long leash with my supervision. I have plenty of time for walks and play breaks during the day. And during the few hours a day that I am out of the house, they can be crated, or they can roam around the main part of the house. I check in on them every half hour through the doggy cams set up in the house. I am comfortable walking, feeding, and if necessary, providing medication on the schedule and in the manner that you prefer.

About: With a large, fully fenced yard and a work-from-home schedule, I’m able to provide constant supervision, plenty of playtime, and lots of love and attention throughout the day. I have years of experience on Rover sitting hundreds of different kinds of dogs. Embracing all different breeds and personalities that they have to offer. I will make sure your dog feels at home with on time meals, a comfortable schedule, and free roam of my home they might not want to leave.
