House Sitting in Dover Plains

“Erin house-sat for us when we needed a cat sitter for four days on short notice. She was amazing! Her connection to the kitties and thoughtful, conscientious approach to the care of our beloved companions set my mind at ease. It was clear from our first conversation that she was trustworthy and dependable, which was reassuring since we've never had a house-sitter. We have a senior cat who requires twice-daily medication and Erin handled all his special needs. She communicated clearly, left the house in excellent condition, and is also just a wonderful person all around!”

About: I have been cat/dog sitting for 3 years now. I have experience taking care of cats. Ive also watched many different types of dogs including large ones. Ive always been a huge animal lover and growing up around dogs always walking and taking care of them, making sure they get the love they deserve. I love doing anything that I can for the animal community Im currently working on online college so im looking to get any side jobs i can in the meantime to try and make some money right now In a client’s home, I carefully follow their instructions and routines to maintain consistency for the pet, and I always respect their space and privacy. I give regular updates to the owner, and I’m prepared to handle emergencies responsibly. I keep their living areas clean, make sure they are fed and have fresh water daily and pay close attention to their health, including administering medication if required. Overall, I treat every pet as if they were my own, providing them with patience, affection, and attentive care

“Iliana took great care of our fur babies while we were away for the week. 2 of our 3 pups had to take medication and Iliana was very helpful in making sure they were administered as needed. I also received updates and photos during our time away, assuring they were having fun and being well taken care of. We came back home to happy pets!”

“Christine bailed us out at the last minute and totally saved us. She was just great, and I think our cats even decided they like her better than they like us. Couldn't be happier that we have made this connection.”

“We reached out to Angie to house sit our two older pups while we were away for a week on a family trip. The dogs have never stayed with anyone outside of family and friends, so we were a little nervous, especially with one of our dogs having some anxiety. Because of this, we were trying to avoid any kennels. Angie was quick to respond to messages leading up to our departure and even offered to come meet the pups twice before our trip. She did not need to do this, but it meant a lot to us that she did. The dogs warmed up to her immediately. Angie is friendly, responsive, and caring. Our house was just as we had left it. She even cared for our small flock of chickens while we were away. We will be reaching out to Angie again and would recommend her to anyone who’s looking for help with their pets.”

“Thank you for taking great care of our dogs!”

About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover and have two English mastiffs myself who mean the absolute world to me. I also live on a property that includes 3 horses, 2 cats and a flock of chickens so animal care is something I am well versed in and do with a passion. I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. Whether it’s high-energy pups that need lots of playtime or older dogs who just want a gentle stroll and some snuggles, I’m here to provide attentive, loving care that fits your dog’s unique personality and needs. I’ve cared for pets both in my home and in theirs, including feeding, walking, administering medication, and handling special routines or behaviors. I understand that every dog is different, and I always aim to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you're away. I treat every dog as if they were my own — with kindness, patience, and lots of affection. Whether you're going on vacation or just need a sitter for the day, you can count on me for dependable and loving care. I have an open schedule currently so there should be no issues with adhering to your pet care needs. Feel free to contact me with dates, times and locations and I am willing to come to you. I have a fenced in yard for my two Mastiffs. I am very familiar with kenneling dogs as well. My overall goal is to provide a safe environment filled with enrichment and care for your furry animal family members.

“Melissa is fantastic!! She took such great care of our two big dogs. The dogs loved her too :) she was very attentive to the needs of the dogs and handled their medication perfectly. She stayed at our place over the holidays and took great care of our home too. If I ever had any questions or was missing the dogs, she made she to respond quickly and would provide more cute pictures of the pups. We would highly recommend her to anyone and we will definitely be rebooking with her again soon!”

About: We have always had multiple dogs in our home, ranging from puppy to senior. We have also adopted a rescue, and so because of that we learned what comes with animals who have had a not so happy past. I work part time as a nurse and so I’m often home with my two littles. I have a fenced in front and back yard. We want your pups to feel comfortable! They are allowed in all areas of our home. If your dog has accidents we understand, but if there are repeated accidents on carpeting there will be a cleaning fee of $150.00 *Meet and Greet Policy* If I travel to you for a meet & greet and you want to book I ask for one night as a deposit (non-refundable). This will go toward your balance or if for any reason you need to cancel, it will go toward a future stay. I am very accommodating and am happy to offer pick up and drop off as well. If for some reason (vacations/getaways) we are unavailable it will be marked on the calendar. I do my best to confirm my calendar and availability daily. Our front and back yard is fenced in and we are set back from the road. There is plenty of room to run and play. As for feeding; All dogs and/or cats will be fed separately. This includes treats.
