House Sitting in Copake

“Emily was so great with our senior dog Willow! She house sat her for the weekend and did a fantastic job. She communicated clearly about everything, sent photos, and most importantly was able to give Willow the twice daily insulin shots she needs. I highly recommend working with Emily!”

“Liz met us at our campsite right on time and she immediately got along with our Catahoula, Annie. They were quick friends. Liz did a great job keeping her safe and entertained while me and my family attended a concert, and Annie was safe and relaxed when we got back to our site. Liz did great and I'll recommend her to anyone who needs help watching their fur baby for a few hours.”

“Excellent pet sitter! Alexis cared for our two cats while we were away for a few days. One was recently adopted so they were still getting to know each other. Alexis was communicative and sent detailed updates with photos. The cats were sharing kisses by the time we got back!”

“Janice is amazing! She took such great care of our 2 Great Danes, our cat, and our home during our house sitting booking. She treated them with so much care and attention we were completely at ease during our trip. Thank you so much!!”

“Shanna was very present and attentive to our senior dog and kept up our home just as we had requested. She was very communicative during our time away and accommodating when we had to shift the schedule around at the last minute. We would book Shanna for housesitting/petsitting again!”

About: I’ve loved caring for various pets over the years. Growing up, I’ve been fortunate to be in a family that adores and cherishes our pets. We currently have 6 (3 dogs, 3 cats). Since I was about 15 years old, I’ve spent time helping family, friends, and neighbors with caring for their pets, including staying at their home to be with their fur babies. I have worked with large dogs (American Bulldogs, Pitbulls, etc.) and I have also dealt with small animals (Yorkies, Minidoodles, etc.). I love pets of all kind and would take great care of yours. My services can be dog sitting at your place, taking them for walks, feeding them, or even if you need someone to just visit them to make sure they are okay! I am currently working on my Master’s. My flexibility is open, aside from Thursday’s and Friday afternoons. Otherwise, I am available during weekdays and weekends at pretty much any time, as long as we plan in a reasonable time frame. I will provide services based on your preferences. As for dog walking, I would prefer your dog have a harness and rope leash as these have historically been the most durable for me. However, I’m not too picky and will adjust based on your pets usual care routines.

“Christine is a down-to-earth person who is easy to talk with and pays attention to important details. At our meet & greet, she asked good questions that reflected her experience and commitment to making both pets and their owners feel comfortable with her. My young adult cat Suki had never been left alone with someone she didn’t already know. In my absence, however, Christine eased her way into Suki’s territory by setting the right balance between showing her some quiet attention and giving her the time and space she needed to adjust and come out of her shell. The photos Christine sent me proved that once she had won Suki over, the little kitty was her sweet, affectionate self and the two of them had a delightful time together! I will be asking Christine to Suki-sit in my house again!”

“Sally is the best! This is the second time that she has stayed with our dog, Sybil. Sybil was so excited when Sally arrived at our house, she adores Sally and Sally takes excellent care of her. They have so much fun together, going on walks and playing with Sybil's favorite toys. I highly recommend Sally! I know that Sybil will be thrilled to hang out with her again in the future!”

About: Hi y'all! I am an all around animal lover. My girls and I take any dogs that we are watching on walks with us every night, we have lots of fun. Pets are allowed on the furniture, unless you state explicitly state you don't want them to be. I prefer not to kennel overnight, but there are always exceptions to the rule! I am able to help with puppies and older pups alike; age is not an issue. Please ask any questions you may have for me, thank you so much we can’t wait to meet you! I am currently working part time but I am always available for nightly drop ins or for any early morning stops on my way in. I am always respectful of your safety protocols, gates are always double and triple checked, doors are always checked to be shut correctly. Food and water levels are consistently monitored. Instructions are always followed to the letter.

About: What sets me apart is the level of care, presence, and attention I bring to every pet I look after. As a stay-at-home mom, I have the flexibility and availability to give pets consistent companionship and supervision throughout the day. I understand how important routines, comfort, and trust are—especially when someone else is caring for a beloved pet. I’m naturally nurturing, detail-oriented, and communicative, which means you’ll always know your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for. I treat every pet like part of the family, because to me, they truly are. I’m a stay at home mom of 2 wonderful animal adoring children. Because I’m home throughout the day, your pet will get plenty of attention, playtime, and care. During their stay, your pet will experience all the best parts of our family just as if they were our own. When caring for your pets in a clients home, I do my best to adhere to all routines and schedules so the pets can feel as comfortable as possible. I will respect your home and keep everything clean, organized, and calm. I’m more than happy to send regular updates and photos so you can feel comfortable and at ease while you’re away. My goal is to provide a loving and safe environment for you and your pet so you can rest assured knowing that they are being taken care of to your standards.

“Angie did a great job watching our two dogs. She updated us often and sent lots of great photos. She was a great house guest and we look forward to having her watch our pups again.”

About: Since 9, I have cared for animals of all ages. I have experience in at home grooming and pet training as well. Rover allows me to connect with not only your pets, but their lovely owners. As a new graduate student, I freed up my schedule to give me plenty of time to assist in pet owners’ needs. Currently, I work part-time, weekends are ideal! I own a senior border collie and young dachshund that are equally socialized to play with other dogs / cats. I grew up with all types of animals. Therefore, I can offer a variety of services.

“Sophie cared for our very active Australian Shepherd puppy, cat, and our home with love, skill, and the highest level of professionalism. She was very responsive and eased my anxiety over leaving my boys with pictures and prompt communication. I trust her completely.”

About: I've had cats since I was born, enjoying their independent nature and strong persona. They are my favorite companion as I feel a strong bond with them. Volunteering at a few ASPCA, helped me to understand dogs with issues, taught me patience and compassion. I adopted my first "mut" from one of the shelter. Living with five Islandic Sheppard dogs on a horse farm offered me the opportunity to take care of puppies, which I enjoyed. I love hiking with dogs, either on leash, or off leash, as long as they are able to respond. Also, going for short trips allows time for connection and togetherness. I can administrate simple medications if necessary as I worked with a veterinarian in New York City for over a year, and have done so since for clients. Horses have a special place in my heart as I used to have a horse and horseback ride. Living on a horse farm for a couple of years, I took care of them as it was needed. I also worked with horses on film sets, witnessing their amazing gifts as natural de-stresser. Being a Free Lance Photographer and a Reiki Practitioner allows me to have a flexible schedule. I enjoy spending some quiet time or/and playful time with our companions, depending on their nature and needs. Respecting your companion's need is important to me, as well as respecting your space. l like to either talk via FaceTime or WhatsApp, or visit ( if your home is within a short distance) prior pet sitting to exchange details and informations. I will be reachable by phone or text message for updates, and will send you photographs of your friend(s) if wanted. I will ask you to leave your Veterinarian phone number, as well as an emergency contact. Overall, making sure that your companion(s) feel loved and secure while you are away is what I care for.

“Ben was great! Showed up on time and my normally skittish to strangers dog felt comfortable within a few minutes. He even sent me photos of them playing frisbee. Would def book again.”

“Lucy was perfect for our high energy but attention loving dog. She was respectful of our home and had great communication. We will continue to use her when she is available.”
