House Sitting in Chappaqua

About: With over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and other animals, I provide loving, reliable, and attentive pet sitting services. I’ve worked with pets of all ages and temperaments, including seniors and those with special needs, ensuring they feel safe and happy while you're away. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I prioritize morning walks, midday check-ins, and evening playtime, ensuring pets receive consistent attention and affection. Weekends often include longer outings or special enrichment activities, making sure each pet feels loved and engaged throughout the week. In my home, pets enjoy a safe, clean, and cozy environment with plenty of playtime, cuddles, and routine care. In clients’ homes, I follow their specific instructions closely—maintaining feeding schedules, administering medications if needed, and keeping pets comfortable in their familiar surroundings. I treat every pet like family, ensuring they feel secure and loved.

About: For 6 years I have had experience house-sitting for families on vacations, and caring lovingly and responsibly for everything from dogs (both large and small), cats, birds, lizards, and fish! Currently working part time as I pursue a career in the art field (I am a painter as well as a writer of fiction). My schedule is extremely flexible as I can work my time spent drawing and painting around the needs of your times requested for the needs of your pets :_ I do not offer pet care in my own home, so my services would be strictly based to either care in the client's home, and/or dog walks. I have much experience with safe dog crating, feeding, and being on alert for resource guarding.

“Margaret was wonderful with Archie. She was easy to communicate with and reliable. Will definitely be working with her again!”

“Becky was a fantastic dog sitter for us! She over communicates, shows our pups authentic love and just went above and beyond for our home outside of what we agreed too! Would highly recommend her! Just don’t overbook her schedule, then I won’t be able to book her services :)”

“Brianne was a great sitter. My pup loved his time with her and she communicated every step of the way. I highly recommend her.”

About: Surrounded by doggy siblings growing up and now as an auntie to my nieces and nephews, I love to care for your furry children! Your pets will be in great hands. I currently work in a hybrid schedule at my 9-5. I enjoy caring for doggy friends on the weekends and before and after work when needed. I am constantly on top of making sure pets feel at home and comfortable in a new space. I will also make sure pets feel safe and loved when in their own space.

“Carmen was an amazing sitter for our senior dog! She took great care of him and our home, and sent tons of updates and pictures. Highly recommend Carmen to care for your pet!!”

“Jennifer was very communicative with me while watching our 15yr old Welsh Terrier. She was accommodating to his mobility challenges and always made sure he got his meds, water and ample outside time. We’ve already scheduled our next house sit!”

About: Howdy all! I own a 3 year old pup named Carter who loves to make new friends. I have over 6 years experience of taking care of dogs and I’m new to the Chicago area! We look forward to sitting and walking your pups really soon. I am really flexible and will treat your pup as my own. I live in Edgewater close to many walking trails and the Beach area! I work remote full time so I’m available for consistent walks and breaks so that your pup is fully immersed into their routine. Living in the Edison in Edgewater provides community with many other dogs so they will never be lonely here as well. Plus they get to hang with Carter during the time they are with me!

About: 🐾 Lifelong Caregiver | Dog, Cat, & Exotic Expert | Detail-Oriented 🌿 About Me: Animals have always been my world. From growing up with dogs to becoming a dedicated cat parent of 6 years, I provide calm, reliable care for every personality. I’m a "routine specialist" who manages 50+ plants, so I’m wired to follow your feeding and medical instructions to the letter. Experience & Services: • Dogs: Lifelong walker experienced in everything from neighborhood strolls to vigorous hikes. • Cats: Expert in kitten care, shy cats, and multi-cat households. • Exotics: Comfortable with rabbits, fish, and even goats! • The Extras: I pride myself on punctuality, high-quality photos, and detailed report cards. Based in Tarrytown. Whether it’s a midday walk, a cat drop-in, or an overnight stay, your pets (and plants!) are in expert hands. As a Product Designer working from a home office, my schedule is incredibly flexible. Because I’m not tied to a traditional 9-to-5 commute, I can easily structure my day around your pet's specific needs rather than squeezing them into a lunch break. My typical routine includes: • Morning & Mid-Day: I use my flexible 'deep work' hours to take breaks for neighborhood walks or drop-in visits. This allows me to be available during the high-demand midday window when most owners are at work. • Weekly Consistency: Since I work from home in Tarrytown full-time, I am a reliable option for recurring weekly schedules. I don’t have to worry about office meetings or travel suddenly changing my availability. • The Designer’s Eye: My profession requires high attention to detail, a skill I bring to pet care by closely following routine instructions, monitoring health/behavior changes, and sending you well-composed photo updates! Whether it's a quick 20-minute check-in or a long walk, my 'home-base' setup ensures I’m always nearby and ready to help. With 8+ years of dog walking experience and 6+ years of being a dedicated cat parent to our cats Luna and Bubba, I’ve built my life around understanding animal behavior. My approach is rooted in the belief that a calm environment and a consistent routine are the keys to a happy pet. Safety First, Always: Safety is my non-negotiable priority. For dogs, this means double-checking harness fits, practicing 'active walking' (staying aware of surroundings/distractions), and ensuring paws are protected from Tarrytown’s winter salt. For cats, I am hyper-vigilant about 'door dashing' and ensuring all windows and entry points are secure before and after I leave. Building Trust Through Patience: I understand that trust isn't given; it’s earned. • For Dogs: I use positive reinforcement and clear communication to build a bond. • For Cats: I specialize in 'low-stress' handling. I let timid cats come to me at their own pace, utilizing my experience with shy rescues to ensure they never feel cornered or overwhelmed. A Controlled & Healthy Environment: Whether I am in your home or mine, I maintain a 'pet-proof' space. • In Your Home: I respect your space and keep it exactly as you left it. Being a parent to 50+ plants, I am also uniquely qualified to ensure your pets stay away from any non-pet-safe greenery. • Health Monitoring: My experience with medications (like Atopica) means I’m always looking for subtle shifts in behavior, appetite, or bathroom habits that might indicate a health change. I am deeply passionate about animals, and I treat every client’s pet with the same meticulous care, love, and routine-focused attention that I give my own.

About: I have had dogs for my whole life. Taking care of dogs and playing with them are my passion. Since my mom was a dog groomer and dog walker I have alot of experience with all type stuff of dog services. Since I have not been able to have my own dog in my house I would love to share my love of dogs by caring for other people’s. Trust in that I will love your pet just like it was my own. My kids and I love dogs and to care for them would be the best thing. Please let me provide this service. Providing love and care for these animals would be my passion. I love it all. Texting me is the best way to contact me.

“This was my first time using Rover and Marissa made it a great experience! She was very proactive in her communication, sent lots of pictures and took great care of my dogs. I will definitely book her again and strongly recommend her!”

Tom C.

“Quite simply, Stacey is the perfect sitter. Our pooch, while sweet and good-natured, is usually wary of people outside the family. But he really took to Stacey. She was incredible with him; very aware and attentive to his needs, super professional and utterly responsible. She’s a real natural with dogs and attuned to their nature. We trust her implicitly with our cherished hound and our home (which she kept super tidy). I’m almost reluctant to give Stacey such a glowing review, because I know it will mean more people will find out how great she is — and then she’ll be harder to book! But I’m not reluctant at all... she really deserves it! We’ve never had a better sitter.”

About: I regularly spend time at local cat and dog shelters so I’m comfortable with all sizes, personalities and energy levels. I love all different animals i’m currently a part-time student so I have plenty of time to watch pets . i’m available Thursday through Sunday and occasionally i’m available all week.. I provide tailored pet care, including feeding, freshwater, exercise, playtime, litter or yard cleanup, cuddles, companionships, routine updates, and maintaining a safe and clean environment

“Danny was so fantastic with our two dogs, Hudson and Bella. Hudson tends to jump up and bark at other pups, while Bella is a nervous dog and gets startled easily. Danny was great with both of them and their unique personalities. Danny was also super communicative, sending pics/videos, which was helpful and reassuring while we were away. I'd highly recommend him and will use him again in future when we go away.”
