House Sitting in Darien Center

“Haley was absolutely amazing! My Pomeranian puppy needed care for about 6 hours, and Haley went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly. She listened to our wants and needs for our puppy and asked all the right questions beforehand to be prepared. During the day, she sent me updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind. I’m so grateful to have found her and will definitely be booking her again. Highly recommend!”

“Joslyn did an awesome job watching my pups for a few days. She is responsible and kept in contact with me while I was away by sending pics and updates. I came back to two happy and relaxed pups!”

“Nicole is amazing! Our other sitter cancelled on us last minute and Nicole was super responsive and accommodating with the short notice. We have three dogs and one of them has leash aggression, which makes him more difficult to take on walks. She was very knowledgeable about those kinds of issues and really eased my mind that he would be in good hands. The house was so well taken care of and Nicole texted every day with updates and great pictures of the dogs. Overall it was a great experience and we’ll definitely be reaching out again for our next trip!”

“Great with our dog! He’s a 90 lbs husky/malamute who gets daily medication and a special diet. Kelly was excellent with him! She was great with the medication instructions and feeding, took him on long daily walks, and was very caring towards him! I would 100% book with Kelly again”

“Rachel was fantastic with my two puppies she came on very short notice. I would not hesitate to use her again. Seamless would be a great description of her service.”

“Sarah took excellent care of our dog Rusty while we were away for a week! She was very attentive to the details we shared about the nuances of our good lil pup and kept her happy. She kept us updated on how their time was going and assured us that Rusty was being a good girl. Took care of emptying our mailbox and left the place in great condition. Thanks again Sarah! Will definitely book again”

About: From the first moments I could remember, I have always been around and caring for dogs and cats. I'm also a professional equine bodyworker, with medical experience that is easily translated over to our smaller, 4-legged friends. I take a gentle and intuitive approach with animals, focusing on positive reinforcement. I will care for your pets as if they were my own. I have plenty of flexibility in my schedule. If staying at your home, I will never be gone for more than 8 hrs at a time. Weekends are usually no issue to schedule around either While staying at your home, I stick to the routine you have developed with your pets to make it as stress-free as possible. I recognize the importance of structure with dogs and cats, and losing that while their humans are away can be a big stressor. I will do my best to act as an extension of you while you are away to ensure the most personalized care.

“Megan was great. She made sure Nemo was well taken care of and kept me in the loop on her schedule.”

“Rebecca was wonderful! She was communicative and provided pics of the dogs and asked questions as needed. We will absolutely check her availability next time chewy and Iggy need a sitter!”

Karen M.

“Mary is so caring, and patient with our older gentleman of a pup and our younger, giant, overly nervous pup💖 She won them over instantly, and did a spectacular job with the both the dog and the house- start to finish. Cannot recommend her highly enough!”

About: I absolutely love dogs. My wife's family has always had dogs. They currently have a German Shepard and a chocolate lab. I absolutely adore them. I have a large fenced in yard, I am also very flexible to come and sit anytime you need. I love taking dogs for a walk and I love playing with them at the park especially fetch! I am very reliable and safe and come from a dog family. I will love and care for your dog like I it is my own. My children are now in middle school and high school and they love dogs as well. I can provide loving and affection for your dog and care for it like it was my own. I hope to hear from you soon Taking care of a pet just becomes part of my everyday flow. You feed them, take them out or clean up after them, and make time to play or cuddle a bit. Most days involve quick things like feeding and walks, while once a week you might do a deeper clean or grooming. It’s not too hard once you get into a rhythm—it just becomes routine. I make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for, whether they’re in my home or a client’s. That includes feeding them on schedule, giving them fresh water, and making time for walks, play, or snuggles—whatever they need to feel happy and relaxed. I stick to their usual routine as much as possible to keep things familiar. If I’m in a client’s home, I also make sure everything stays clean and tidy, and I always send updates so they know their pet is doing great. I also have a fenced in yard.

About: I’ve had a pet (dogs, cat and rabbit) since I was 9 years old. I’ve personally cared for my own pets, family member’s pets, family friends and been recommended to friends of family. I’ve walked the dogs, played with them, fed them, made sure they are taken care of, and most importantly- feel secure and loved while their loved ones are away! I’ve taken part in puppy training classes for my current dog and am familiar with calming techniques and proper training for puppies or older dogs. I’m very active and love to keep the dogs company, whether that be taking them for a walk around the block, to their favorite dog park (if okay with owners of course), or just playing fetch in the backyard! I currently work full time but am available both weekends anytime and during the week after 3 pm. I do make every effort to spend as much time as possible caring and attending to your furry friend! I make sure to ensure the pets have water at all times, a clean environment, and a safe environment free from any hazards. I personally take my dog’s collar off if he is in his crate but would check with clients if they prefer that while I am gone. I make sure they get enough exercise and play time (and snuggles!)

“Delen was great with my doggies when I was away. I'm always apprehensive about leaving my dogs, but she was fantastic. She communicated and sent pictures--which made me feel so much better. I highly recommend Delen and will be using her in the future!”

About: I’ve had pets of all kinds my whole life so I am experienced in providing proper care for them. I completed an animal science & care course with an internship in my senior year of high school and began college majoring as a vet tech. I also have experience pet sitting for a cat with diabetes so I know how to give insulin injections. I’m a huge animal lover so you can be sure your pet is well taken care of and spoiled while you’re away! I currently work second shift full time (4-midnight) so I’m home the first half of everyday. This provides me with a lot of free time that could be used towards caring for your pet. I have the time to provide drop ins for pet care and walks for dogs since I’m available in the daylight hours when most people are working. Pets in my home will be treated as if they were my own. I spoil my pets and they’re allowed everywhere in the house as well as on the furniture. I do require dogs to be crate trained for when I am not home only for safety reasons with my other pets. If I am visiting your home instead I will respect any rules given to me while also providing the highest standard of care for your pet.

“Michelle was a past student of mine, but I didn’t know that until I met her!! She was friendly, and I could tell she loved what she did. I knew my dog, Otto, liked her!! I knew I would be leaving Otto in good hands. When I came home, I could tell Otto was well cared for! I would hire Michelle again, and I recommend her!”

About: I've always had a passion for animals since I was very little. I was never able to have them of my own growing up because my dad was highly allergic. Once I graduated high school I moved out and rescued my first dog from a backyard breeder. He is a Pitbull mix. 4 months later I rescued my golden saint from a hording situation which ended up in all of her animals getting taken away. I realized I wanted to help save more animals so I ended up becoming a foster mom. My first foster was a 7 year old Rottweiler named Sabrina. I only had her a short 3 months before I was told she had a stomach tumor that was not curable. I unfortunately made the decision to get her cremated and the last words I said to her was " I promise I will save as many animals like you as I possibly can." I kept that promise to her after 8 years already and plan to for many many more! Fast forward to today, I have the same 2 dogs and added one more to my little family. He is a Catahoula Leopard dog and was my first foster fail. I wanted to extend my experience even more so now I pet sit/dog walk as well! I am experienced with senior dogs, puppies, aggressive dogs as well as dogs with high anxiety I have taken care of all sorts of animals such as hamsters, Guinea pigs, birds, snakes, miniature pigs, and of course cats and dogs! I treat every animal like my own and I guarantee I will become their best friend! My goal is to eventually own a building and name it in Sabrina's memory:) I am currently working part time at UPS from 4am-8am (for the health benefits) so I will have plenty of time during the day and night to play with your fur baby! I am available for in home stays in your own home, overnights, drop ins, and dog walks on week days and weekends. If you see a date that is marked unavailable please still reach out to me as I might have some spots open or a last minute cancellation for those days. It is first come first serve so book while the dates are still available! In home/overnights- This includes play time, bathroom breaks, food and water replenishment, medication administration, baths if needed, multiple walks, picture/video updates, and lots of snuggles! Drop ins- This includes food and water replenishment, bathroom breaks and a little bit of play time! Dog walking- I offer 1/2 hour walks and 1 hour walks

About: I understand that the worst part of your day is leaving your dog. I absolutely love dogs and will guarantee that your dog will feel safe and happy at home when he/she is with me. I am the one amongst all of my friends that watch their dogs or simply take them out for a hike because they don’t have the time or energy. I have watched dogs from malamutes to Yorkies, and I’m a very active person that loved to exercise my late dog (as of March this year) with hikes to get his energy out! However, if a walk is all he needs or lots of attention at home I am happy to do that. I am a physical therapist and have just completed my canine rehab certification to work with animals and have also recently lost my Aussie of 10 years but not ready to have another, missing my dog interactions! I’m currently working PRN around western NY- I definitely have availability at nights for the long walks they may need and daytime hours are variable according to my work schedule, just ask ! I have availability to a fenced in yard, my apartment would require stairs however. I take frequent walks and can accommodate to your dogs schedule.

“Shauna was great with out two dogs. She took great care of them and took care of the house. She kept us updated and sent pictures throughout her stay. I highly recommend her and will be asking her to dogsit again.”
