House Sitting in Bellvale

“Hannah is an awesome pet and house sitter! She was petting my very shy, anxious cat within a couple of days and they became buddies. My dog loves her. She sent me daily updates with photos. I was able to really enjoy my travels knowing my pets and house were in her hands.”

“Michelle was fantastic! We needed someone last minute to housesit our hyper husky. Michelle got back to us promptly and was responsible, trustworthy and professional. I’m so glad I met her, and I definitely plan on using her again in the future.”

“Our experience with Alannah was only positive! She was communicative, flexible, and reliable. She followed our instructions for our dog with epilepsy exactly, and all of our animals got a ton of quality time! We arrived home to a clean house and happy pets. We appreciated the frequent photos and updates, and she was very informed about how to take care of dogs with special needs, which made us feel at ease.”

Michelle R.

“This was the first time I left my dog with someone who wasn’t family overnight. Austin asked a lot of good questions that made me feel at ease during our meet and greet because it showed he was experienced and cared. He sent regular updates with photos and videos throughout the weekend. It seems like my dog enjoyed his company and I look forward to their next stay together.”

“Debbie stayed at our house and took care of our 3 dogs for 5 days while we were out of the country and we couldn't have felt more comfortable knowing our dogs were well cared for and in great hands. It was clear that she really connected with the dogs and they loved spending time with her. Debbie was very thorough in reviewing all the care instructions with us before we left and sent us updates and pics of the dogs every day. She also did a wonderful job caring for our home while we were gone and even watered our plants and took out the trash. The house was in perfect shape when we returned from our trip. I would highly recommend Deb for house-sitting/pet-sitting.”

“Amara is the best. When I returned from a weekend awa, my puppy, Loki, was relaxed and happy. Amara listened carefully to all of my instructions, and followed them all. When she had a question about them, she texted me. She also sent lots of photos. Could not have asked for more! I will book again! I would give 20 stars if I could. Ann”

About: A large grassy area in front of the house on a cul de sad, several dog beds, dog-friendly neighborhood walks,...ideal for a fun pet overnight stay. I do not currently have my own dog but sometimes may take 2 dogs at one time. I study massage and dog psychology. Dogs who love touch or massages will get plenty of attention. It is a house with a yard, not an apartment. The yard is not completely fenced, so I use a leash 100% of the time until I know the dog very well, since there are sometimes birds and squirrels making appearances. Dogs spend a lot of time outside with me, weather permitting. Your dog will not spend time outside alone because it's just more fun to be together. About this sitter: I raised two Scottish Terrier litter-mates from puppy-hood and have cared for dogs and cats in their homes, dogs in my home for months at a time, and I enjoy walking dogs. I am soft-spoken and very patient. Shy, or sensitive/scared pets often feel comfortable around me pretty quickly. Pets should have joy in their lives so I enjoy giving them extra attention to help alleviate some of the stress when their owners are away. For overnight care at a clients' home, I like to stay as light and self-contained as possible. I'm in this for the love of pets and like to leave as little a footprint as possible! Experience includes: dog owner, cat owner, dog sitting for over 15 different dogs and 4 different cats (up to 6 dogs simultaneously or combo of 2 dogs/2 cats who were housemates). Why I love dog sitting: I made my first dog friend when I was 6 years old. Lalli was a seeing-eye school drop out and the sweetest dog I'd ever met. My aunt already had 2 cats that I loved by that point. I ended up helping a senior dog get past her separation anxiety and she and her folks gained more freedom. About my yard: Large grassy area in front of the house. Dog park nearby with well behaved friendly neighborhood dog regulars. My experience administering oral medication: I have done it and I will do it if a pet is not a biter or scratcher. I cared for 2 dogs during their hospice. I am open to doing that, at least to help provide respite for the primary caretakers. I am free to spend time with your dogs and/or house sit anytime except Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 8am to 7pm. Dogs that stay overnight with me will have a day sitter and dog company during the day. I am willing to accept stays longer than one week but we must discuss first to see if my system works for your animals. I live in a very walkable neighborhood with a park nearby and a large grassy area. I have an afternoon sunning deck, and plan potty breaks every 2-3 hours. Mini-massages and indoor play breaks are available throughout the day between dog naps.

About: Hi! Thanks for stopping by. Allow me to introduce myself: I'm a (mostly) retired nurse & former farmer, offering a homey stay for your dog. I'm experienced with livestock, birds, all sorts of creatures. Your dog will enjoy the ideal location of my comfy home--its sunny decks, and fenced yard-- nearby to beaches, off-leash Quarry Park, and the recreation and coastal paths. You can enjoy your time away, knowing your pooch is having a great time at my place. I'm at home days & evenings, close by to the critters. Semi retired now, I'm able to dedicate myself to a pet-centric life, to the benefit of all. My home is set up for comfort--making the most of this idyllic coastal environment. Low windows at the front allow the dogs to observe those passing on the street. Two sunny decks connect to my fenced yard, providing a secure, relaxed environment. I am steps from the rec & coastal paths, dog-friendly Quarry Park, the harbor & coastal beaches. Enjoy peace of mind during your time away! Your dog will be a valued guest in my pooch-centric home.

“Nicole was an absolute star with my dog, Noah. She took impeccable care of him and the house while I was away for three nights. It can be very unsettling leaving a loved pet with a stranger while inviting that person into your home. Nicole communicated daily, was respectful of the house, and took stellar care of my fur baby. She truly loves animals. I look forward to hiring her in the future.”

“Kathryn house sat and took care of my dog Milo for a week. She was flexible, easy to communicate with and took excellent care of my home and puppy. Highly recommend! I will definitely work with her again. Thank you Kathryn!”

Amanda T.

“Silvana was a perfect sitter for our two doggies. She is conscientious, caring, and devoted to her charges. She spent a good deal of time with the dogs on walks and playing in the park. She also seems to have instilled some discipline we had not done. Silvana sent is photos daily with Updates on how the dogs were doing. We will absolutely entrust our doggies to her again.”

“Billie watched my 12 year old Rottie for the weekend he has rarely been away from me but he did well, ate his meals which he sometimes won’t do when I’m not around. He got some exercise with their walks since he was tired when I got back. I was very happy with her care of Kaiser and would definitely recommend!”

Laura K.

“Ally watched our golden retriever this past week in our home. She was very friendly to our pup! She walked him everyday. She sent us photos of him walking & looking very happy. We will definitely ask her to watch him again.”

Joan F.

“Brittany took great care of our dogs! She sent lots of great pictures throughout her stay. She did a great job communicating with us about how everything was going and we knew our dogs were happy and healthy. She also made sure our dogs got individual attention and longer walks every day. Would happily have Brittany stay with our dogs again.”

Michael B.

“Cora was wonderful, a total pro handling our very naughty adopted shelter terrier mix. I loved receiving pictures and updates from her. And I appreciated get professionalism handling his care when he misbehaved.”

Leonard H.

“Fabi took Great care of my dog and cat. Lots of updates and pictures, which I really appreciated.”

“Owen did a fantastic job with our Golden! Plenty of exercise and attention, easily handled his raw meals and slightly complicated feeding schedule. Our house was in spotless condition when we returned and even the sheets were washed. Our pup was very happy and I highly recommend.”

“Evan was great! He was very responsive during my trip. Hurley seems happy and my house was in superb condition.”
