House Sitting Bellvale

“Chelsea was an amazing sitter for our 3 dogs. She is kind, conscientious and reliable! Will definitely be booking with her again in the future.”

Kristin M.

“Cordigen has looked after our two dogs 5 times this month, with the most recent visit being an all day plus evening care. She has proven to be the caregiver we hoped for. She is loving to the dogs, responsible, responsive and sends us updates during and after her visits. It is such a privilege to have a caregiver we trust, so we can focus on and enjoy activities away from our pets. We have appreciated her flexibility when our schedules have been in flux, as well as covering a last minute need. We plan to continue to request her services for all our pet caregiving needs.”

“There’s no one I’d trust my shy little pup with more than Katie. She was patient, professional, and thoughtful when house sitting with our dog. She even cleaned while she was there! We wish we could keep her all to ourselves! I would recommend her to anyone with a shy dog.”

Maria R.

“We’ll hire Alexander again! He was thankfully available relatively last minute before our vacation after our previous sitter fell through. He was communicative and shared updates and photos of happy, tired pups throughout the week.”

Caroline N.

“John did a fantastic job taking care of Fenway and Rosie! He communicated with me daily, sharing pictures and video clips. They were happy and well loved. More over, John left the house in exceptional condition.”

About: Hi! I’m Taryn! I’m an experienced and compassionate pet caregiver with a lifelong love for animals — especially rescues. Over the past 13 years, I’ve owned and cared for three very different dogs (a chihuahua, dachshund mix, and shepherd mix), so I understand that every dog has their own personality, needs, and boundaries. I’m comfortable adjusting care based on your dog — whether that means a short, gentle walk for a senior pup or a long, active outing to burn energy. I also have hands-on experience with dogs who have leash or food aggression, and I always approach care with patience, awareness, and respect for each dog’s comfort level. As of 6/1/2026 I have a Certificate of Completion from the American Red Cross Cat and Dog First Aid (online) In addition, one of my dogs, Shadow, has seizures, so I’m familiar with staying calm in high-stress situations, monitoring for symptoms, and providing attentive, responsive care when it matters most. I understand how important it is to trust someone with a pet who has extra needs. I’ve also helped care for friends’ dogs of all sizes and breeds — from small terriers to larger dogs like pit bulls — and feel confident handling a wide range of temperaments. I’m happy to provide: • Walks tailored to your dog’s energy level • Feeding and routine care • Medication (depending on type) • Baths and brushing • Calm, attentive care for anxious or special needs pets • Plenty of love and companionship Beyond dogs, I have 20+ years of experience with cats. I’ve volunteered with Homeless Cat Network and fostered for Coastside Feral Care. Fun fact: Every animal I’ve cared for or owned has been a rescue — I have a special place in my heart for them and understand the extra patience and care they sometimes need. ________________________________________ 🐾 Why pet parents choose me • Experience with multiple breeds and temperaments • Comfortable with reactive and special needs dogs • Firsthand experience with seizure care • Cat care expert with volunteer/foster background • Calm, patient, and highly attentive

“Great communicator, kept great care of my duo and kept me well informed. Kept to their walking schedule and provided much love, attention and cuddles for my babies! Love working with Lauren!”

About: My family and I had dogs, cats, and rabbits. That was before I started living independently, now I've taken care of dogs and cats for friends or neighbors as a favor, and I noticed it brings me value being able to help others with their pets. I'm proactively looking to train dogs, and train cats to live comfortably with other animals (just basic stuff for now) 🤩 I'm currently working in Real Estate most of my work can be done by phone, laptop or videocall. So usually I'm available to take care of your pet at your place, walk your dog outdoors (my place is not available since my landlord doesn't allow pets) and overnights stay 😄 I like to take your dog for a walk/run, also I like being respectful with the neighborhood by picking up your dog's stuff, at home feed them and play around with them to burn energies 💪🏽. If it's a cat, more than happy to play your cat, feed them and or just pet them on my lap 😁 (I'm not allergic to cats btw 🐈)

“Devin cat and house sat for us for two weeks while we were out of town. Our cat is a pandemic cat so is accustomed to frequent attention and it seems she definitely got that while we were away - possible more than when we’re home! Devin sent regular photos and updates and Misty always appeared very content. The house was left tidy and Devin helped with extra tasks such as bringing in the mail and putting out the trash for collection.”

Judit K.

“Excellent communication and was available on fairly short notice. We felt confident that our dog and our home were being well cared for. Would highly recommend Lauren!!”

“Kristin exceeded every expectation—constant care, genuine engagement with my dog, a perfect routine, and a truly happy, very active dog. I found Kristin after a very thorough search, as it is absolutely essential to me that my dog is not left alone for more than a very short time. She not only respected that—she exceeded every expectation. A big part of my dog’s happiness is her walks, and Kristin took her on long, frequent walks every day. Just as important—if not more—is her feeding routine, which is central to her happiness. She has four main meals per day, plus a small supper and treats in between. I typically combine meals with training and play, and Kristin followed this routine exactly and with great care. Kristin truly engaged with my dog—playing with her both indoors and outdoors, grooming her, and even having her sleep in bed with her at night. She also sent me photos every day, which gave me complete peace of mind. She went above and beyond in ways I did not expect—she even bought my dog a new toy and a bag of treats, which says a lot about how much she genuinely cares. I returned to an exceptionally happy, relaxed, and well-cared-for dog. My dog is very perceptive, and it was immediately clear that she had formed a strong bond with Kristin—they were practically inseparable during the stay. On top of that, the house was left very clean and in perfect condition, with everything exactly as I left it. I would trust Kristin again without hesitation and highly recommend her.”

“Luke was extraordinary. Exceptional communication: speedy, clear, and friendly. He was genuinely keen to help everything go smoothly. My dog seemed happy with him, and it was effortless.”

“Debbie took great care of our dog and our house. She communicated anything happening related to the house and sent photos of our dog. Super responsive with the texts too! Our dog is leash reactive and Debbie handled it very well. Will definitely be working with Debbie again!”

“Coralee was absolutely incredible. She was very communicative and sent beautiful pictures. She really understood my sensitive baby, and he warmed up quickly to her and clearly felt comfortable and safe. Coralee also was patient and responsive when our travel plans got disrupted, and kept my baby company much later than we originally planned. I very highly recommend her.”

Helen S.

“Renee was a great sitter! She watched three of our dogs (two of which are very high energy puppies!) and did an awesome job. Can’t recommend her enough!”

Mike F.

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

About: I’ve lived with animals my whole life; at both houses we had at least 3 cats and 3 dogs at a time with the occasional hamster, rat, snake, or rabbit. I’ve adopted most of my pets from shelters, and have helped raised two litters (one was kittens, the other was puppies). Having a wide variety of animals introduced me to a wide array of personality types from friendly and cuddly to moody or shy. These experiences have taught me to have an abundance of patience and understanding, and to be able to adapt to individual needs. The animals I’ve watched/raised/trained have been all different breeds and sizes; from a 3 pound chihuahua to a 85 pound German/Pitt mix. I’ve taken care of older dogs, who need extra care, as well as sick dogs and/or dogs with preexisting conditions who require medications once, twice, or three times a day. Not only have I helped with my animals, but I’ve watched other peoples houses/pets as well. I’m pretty much a homebody, so aside from a couple hours each day, I’m available and flexible and can hangout with your pets for as long as you need. I’m a great communicator too, so if an issue were to arise, I will reach out right away because your pet’s health and well-being is my top priority. I’m currently self-employed, so my schedule is open and flexible. I do prefer a couple of days of notice in advanced, unless it’s an emergency. I will take care of your pet however you need me to. When it comes your pets health and well-being, I know you know what’s best, and I will never disrespect your wants or needs. If you need me to house sit, I will respect your property. I’m very neat, organized, and clean (slightly OCD) so I would never leave a mess.

“Dana was an amazing house/dog/cat sitter and I couldn't recommend her more highly. She had to deal with our very high energy puppy, anxious small dog and elusive cat and she did a wonderful job with all three. It was also such a relief to come home to a house that was even cleaner than we left it!”

About: Having grown up with a dog, what sets me apart is my focus on high-needs care and consistency. Your pet can be my 'co-worker' for the day, receiving constant attention and structured play. I'm comfortable with medication schedules and slow-paced mobility walks. You can expect frequent photo updates and a calm, pet-first environment As a remote professional, I offer the 'work-from-home' advantage: your pet will have a constant companion throughout the day which is ideal for most dogs. Your pet will always be treated like family! We start with a slow introduction, ensuring they feel safe and confident. I provide a structured day with frequent potty breaks, interactive play, and plenty of lap time. When sitting in your home, my priority is maintaining your pet's 'normal.' I follow your feeding and exercise schedules to the minute to minimize anxiety. I also take great care of your space, possibly watering plants, and ensuring your home is secure and tidy so you can return to a happy pet and a peaceful house.

“Friendly, sweet, and great with my dogs. She followed all instructions and took very good care of them. Easy to communicate with and a pleasure to work with — I’d happily book her again”
