House Sitting in Congers

“We have had Max for 6 years and have always been lucky to have a family member nearby, until now. Elizabeth was amazing! Max fell in love with her during their first meeting. She stayed at the house and walked, fed and played with him. While we were away, she would check in at least 2x per day with a message from Max and pictures, which put my mind at ease immediately. Max was happy and healthy when we got home. We look forward to having Max's new BFF come to take care of him again!!”

“Yhakerra took excellent care of our Bailey over the weekend. She kept us updated so we had one less thing to worry about while attending our son’s wedding. Will definitely be in contact for any future needs.”

“Brandon F. was FANTASTIC! He gave regular updates and sent photos of our Lucy to us. It was so great to be able to relax and know that our beloved pet was in good hands with Brandon. Would absolutely book him again!”

“Julia was great! She sent lots of photos and our dog and cat were well taken care of, not easy with a big 75lb puppy. She also left the house cleaner than I think we left it. She's great”

About: I’ve been house sitting/pet sitting since I was around 17 years old. I have experience with puppies and senior dogs. I’ve watched dogs, cats, turtles, lizards, fish and more. I’m familiar with pee pads, crate training and dog diapers. I will always treat your animal with respect and kindness, showing them so much love while you are away. I’m currently not working so I would have plenty of time to be with your furbaby. I do volunteer work during the week but I would still have plenty of time to care and be with your animal. I can walk, play, snuggle, crate train and prepare meals for your animals. You just tell me what the preferred routine is and I’ll do my best to match that so your animal feels safe and loved.

“We can't express our gratitude for Matthew! He took such good care of Snoop and Martha while we were gone and put all our minds at ease. Thanks so much, Matthew!”

“Christy is the best! She stayed with our beloved pup for over a week, and took great care of him. She sent us amazing photos of him daily, and our house was clean and orderly upon return. I’m so glad to have connected with Christy and we will definitely be inviting her back to take care of Donhenley.”

“Ellie watched our two dogs for the day. She was great! Very responsive, kind, arrived on time, sent us photos cuddling with our pets and sent updates throughout the stay. I would highly recommend!”

“Richard was very good with our dog. He was very communicative and gave us regular updates. We will definitely be booking him again.”

About: I have 20+ years of pet boarding, pet sitting, dog walking and now my whole family shares the love - and some of the responsibilities! I am experienced with dogs, cats, guinea pigs and other small creatures! I view all pets as family members. I live in NY and looking for a house sitting gig during my trip to Arizona during this spring break. My schedule is flexible - I am planning to take our four legged friends on lots of adventures outdoors. I work from home and my schedule is flexible so I spend most time with our furry clients.I can’t wait to go on a walk or play with my furry clients! We are happy to come to your home or board your pets in our home. We don't have a fenced in yard but we frequent the dog park and the park near-by. In my day job I regularly work with NYPD, the court system and other federal and state agencies - therefore I have a high level security clearance.

“Flower did a great job house sitting and caring for Willie and Molly for 5 days, she sent photos and videos daily. They played and had meals and snuggles and treats. My dogs love her.”

“Becky was amazing as a live-in cat sitter for my elderly cat!! She was able to give him pills and inhalers easily. She sent me frequent updates and left my home spotless. Can’t recommend enough!!”

Eleni D.

“Noel and her husband took fantastic care of our home and Ripley (dog son) while we were away for a month! I would absolutely have them again!”

Mitchell G.

“Taylor regularly walks/house sits for my dog! She’s always reliable and communicative when she’s taking care of my pup. I absolutely recommend Taylor for your pets needs!”

Kali Z.

“Nicole was a marvelous care-giver for our middle-aged Alaskan Malamute! She was patient through Velma's usual "I don't have to listen to you — my moms will be home soon" beginning-of-the-trip phase, and she understood that belly rubs can overcome any northern dog stubbornness. And when some plants that we'd ordered for delivery *after* we returned home arrived early, Nicole carefully unboxed them and made sure they were watered and soaking up sunshine. We'll gladly call on Nicole again for our next trips!”

“We recently had David dog sit for us, and he did a fantastic job! He came over the night before to meet our dogs and get familiar with their routine, which we really appreciated. It gave us peace of mind knowing he was thoughtful and prepared. While we were away, our flight ended up being delayed by almost five hours, and David stayed longer without hesitation to make sure our dogs were well taken care of. That kind of reliability and flexibility is rare and so appreciated. When we got home, it was clear the dogs were happy, calm, and well looked after. We’re very grateful for David’s care and would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a responsible and kind dog sitter!”

About: Dogs have been part of my life for many years. While living in England, I helped care for a Golden Retriever, and later, in Spain, I cared for a Yorkshire Terrier. After spending over 12 wonderful years with my own Golden Retriever, Kobi, I understand how important it is to find someone you trust to care for your dog like family. Kobi was my adventure partner and best friend. Together, we explored hiking trails, beaches, kayaking trips, road trips from Maine to Florida, and countless daily walks. He showed me how important exercise, enrichment, routine, and companionship are for a happy dog. For over five years, I also organized dog hikes throughout Westchester County, NY, and Fairfield County, CT. These adventures gave dogs the opportunity to exercise, explore, socialize, and enjoy time outdoors in a safe and structured environment. In addition, I have professional experience working in a commercial dog daycare, where I supervised groups of up to 30 small and medium-sized dogs, as well as puppy groups of up to 7 puppies under 4 months old. This experience taught me how to read canine body language, recognize stress signals, manage group dynamics, and provide safe, attentive care. My approach combines practical dog experience with a calm, holistic mindset. I am certified in Reiki and Emotion Code energy work and believe dogs thrive when they feel safe, understood, and respected. While every visit focuses first on your dog's physical needs, I also pay close attention to their emotional well-being and comfort. I specialize in one-on-one care for puppies, seniors, and friendly family dogs that thrive with individualized attention, enrichment, companionship, and exercise. My experience is strongest with Golden Retrievers, Labrador Retrievers, Doodles, Cavaliers, and similar companion breeds that benefit from individualized attention, enrichment, exercise, and companionship. Services I offer: • 60-minute drop-in visits • Dog walking • Adventure walks and hikes up to 2 hours • Puppy visits and enrichment activities • Overnight pet sitting in your home • Limited home daycare and boarding for approved dogs I believe many dogs are happier with personalized care rather than large-group environments. Whether your dog enjoys a quiet walk, a hiking adventure, puzzle games, puppy enrichment, or simply companionship while you're away, I tailor each visit to their individual needs. For home daycare and boarding, I intentionally keep things small and personal. I currently do not have a dog of my own and only accept one guest dog at a time, two dogs from the same family, or up to two compatible puppies. This allows me to provide close supervision and individualized attention. My home includes a fenced yard for supervised outdoor time. I live in a two-family home, and my apartment is located on the second floor, so dogs should be comfortable using stairs. A playpen is available for puppies and young dogs who benefit from additional structure and rest periods. For the safety and comfort of everyone involved, I require a meet-and-greet before accepting any new client. This allows us to make sure your dog is comfortable with me and that we are a good fit for each other. I look forward to meeting you and your four-legged family member! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I am self-employed as a bookkeeper and real estate agent, which allows me to work primarily from home and maintain a flexible schedule. While I occasionally leave the house for appointments, errands, or property showings, I am able to plan my schedule around the needs of the pets in my care. This flexibility allows me to provide frequent potty breaks, exercise, playtime, companionship, and close supervision for dogs staying in my home. I provide a safe, calm, and personalized environment with plenty of individual attention. My home has a fenced yard for supervised outdoor time, and I live just a 5-minute walk from wooded trails for walks and adventures. Dogs have access to a comfortable sofa, toys, and puzzle games for enrichment and mental stimulation. I live in a second-floor apartment, so dogs should be comfortable using stairs. I only accept 1 dogs at a time or 2 from the same family to ensure each dog receives plenty of supervision, exercise, and companionship.

“Kristine R. was a WONDERFUL dog and house sitter for us. She kept us informed with photos and texts and left our home in perfect order. Our dog was a happy dog when we got home. Many thanks to Kristine who is professional in every way. We look forward to hiring her again in the future.”

“Maya was great. Our Lex was as calm as can be. He was well looked after.”
