House Sitting in Bloomington

“Rose took FANTASTIC care of both our dogs and house. Thanks Rose. Not sure they were happy to see us come home! She sent us photos each day we were away, and our house looked better when we got home then when we departed :-) Will definitely be reaching out to Rose for her care again”

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds since childhood, ranging from energetic puppies to senior dogs needing extra care. I’m a trained dog handler with the Ulster County SPCA and regularly provide dog sitting, walking and drop-in services. Whether your dog wants quiet peaceful snugs, or enthusiastic playtime and hikes… I’m your lady! Clients often tell me their dogs have even better times on vacation than they do! 🩷🐾 I care for each pup like it’s my own. Happy to provide references ups on request! I have a flexible, hybrid work schedule that allows me to accommodate walls, drop-ins, and overnight care throughout the week and on weekends (and even a few work from home days for more time with your pup!). I’m able to provide consistent attention, timely visits, and plenty of engagement, whether your dog needs a quick walk, regular check-ins or more extended care. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I take time to understand each pet’s routine, personality and needs, and I follow all instructions closely. In your home, I aim to keep your dog’s environment familiar and stress-free. For boarding, I offer a calm, quiet, child/pet-ffee space where your dog will receive attentive, individualized care and supervision (and lots of walks or hikes, if you like!).

“Chana did an excellent job taking care of my three dogs! She stayed in contact to let us know how things were going and provided us the reassurance that our dogs were in good hands! Thanks Chana! As this experience made our vacation that much better….”

“Regan did a wonderful job caring for my dog Daisy and my cat Eleanor. She did house sitting for the entire week if not longer while I was out of town. She maintained great communication and also was very perceptive about what the animals needed. Thank you, Regan. I look forward to working with you again”

“Olivia was fantastic!! She house and pet sat over the Christmas week and took great care of my small Husky and 2 cats. She sent texts and photos almost daily and left the house immaculate. She spent a ton of quality time with Izzy the Husky. I highly recommend Olivia if you’re in need of a very conscientious and responsible house sitter!!!”

“Ja was such a great house and pet sitter! I have a very lazy dog, and a very high energy dog who can be reactive on a leash. Ja did a great job taking care of them! They were happy when we got home. Also she left our place in pristine shape. I can’t wait to use her again!”

“Grettel has been amazing!! Scout is a very nervous and anxious dog and as soon as Grettel and Scout met I knew that Scout was going to be comfortable with Grettel! It only took him about 10 minutes to relax, which is huge for Scout!! She is also very thorough, which puts us at ease. She also provides video and pics of him while we are away! :) ”

“Marielle was simply terrific while we were away for a week, staying at our home to watch our new dog and cat. She problem solved some tricky situations effortlessly. We arrived home to very happy and relaxed pets, a clean and well cared for home, and a lot of gratitude for having found Marielle. She is worth every penny!”

“We had never used any pet sitting service before and felt very nervous about leaving our dog. From the very first meeting, Laianna put our minds at ease and made us feel very comfortable. She made sure to ask us all about Gracie and we could see that she connected with Gracie right away. Gracie has so much energy and demands a lot of attention but from all the pictures and videos Laianna sent, it was obvious she was well taken care of! Laianna is very reliable, trustworthy and great with animals. We will definitely use her again for any future travel plans.”

“Cassie is a wonderful sitter! This was our puppies’s first experience with a sitter and she was very communicative and reliable. She constantly sent us picture, videos, and updates so we were able to be at ease the whole time. Will definitely book her again in the future!”

Kayleen T.

“Paula is amazing! So caring and thoughtful, our dog Rosie loved spending the night with her. Lots of walks, lots of snuggles—10/10 would recommend, and can’t wait to work with her again!”

Jessica C.

“Linda is awesome! We have a full house, 3 dogs and 2 cats and Linda did an amazing job taking care of all of them while we were away. Highly recommend.”

“Emily watched our dog Mouse for 16 days while we were halfway around the world. This was the longest we had ever been away from him and the farthest. We were a little nervous going into it but Emily made us feel so at ease. She sent updates every day usually multiple times a day. She would also tailor the timing of her updates to the timezone we were in which was much appreciated as well. We could tell Mouse was well taken care of and that she gave him a lot of love. We can’t wait to work with her again!”

“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.”

“Carolyn was great. She arrived early, was greeted by Bodhi and after a little playing he jumped in her car and off they went for a walk on the rail trail. He really enjoyed the exercise and I’m sure he’ll be glad to see her again.”

About: I didn’t get to experience the joy of growing up with dogs or cats but as soon as I was able I began taking in fosters from the NYC shelter system. It was quite a learning experience spending time with many dogs (and a few cats) of all different types and personalities. I no longer foster but I bring the experience and dedication from working with so many shelter pets to caring for your furry family members. And as a pet parent now myself I have been through many sitters so I understand what makes a good one! A note on boarding and meet and greets: I’m happy to have boarding candidates come by to meet me and check out the space but I do not do meet and greets with my own dogs. My dogs are dog friendly but they are too chaotic and excitable to meet new dogs and owners right away. New dogs are kept separate at first and introduced at their own pace when everyone is calm. This minimizes stress for everyone and allows for better interactions. I currently work out of the house Monday/Wednesday/Friday but my schedule is somewhat flexible. The rest of the week I work at home and I am often available all weekend. Dogs in my home have access to a securely fenced large yard for running and fetch, as well as a quiet neighborhood for walks. If the weather is warm dogs have access to a dog door so they may go outside as they please. If your dog likes to play with other dogs mine will certainly be happy to accommodate but they can also have separate spaces if quiet time is needed. In your home I will make every effort to keep your pets schedule as familiar as possible while offering lots of love and stimulation. As someone who has had many sitters come through and stay at my house I understand the importance of trust and cleanliness so you can be away without worry.

“Katherine took our two rowdy boys totally in stride and made me feel totally confident that she had them safe and sound. Lovely pics and great communication. Would book again”

“I cannot say enough good things about Kacey!! I came home to find happy cats and a clean home. And while away, I was relaxed knowing she was there. She was in great communication and sent photos of the cats throughout the trip. She goes above and beyond to love your home and your pets like her own.”

“Elanor took great care of Dax! She has a great dog park and took him on a few walks, and sent photos throughout the visit reassuring me he was doing great. Will definitely book again so Dax can spend time with his new abuela!”

Elizabeth M.

“Devin was a great sitter, she took him to the dog park and walk's. She’s very easy to communicate with. I arrived home to a happy and healthy pup. I would definitely recommend her.”
