House Sitting in Dover Plains

“Emily was such a pleasure to have watch our girls. She was highly communicative and very respectful and attentive to our space. I appreciated how focused she was on our girls and I always felt like they were in good hands with her. I would book her again 10 out of 10 times!”

“We had a wonderful experience with our pet sitter Margaret! She took excellent care of my dog, Otto, and made sure he was happy, comfortable, and well-loved while I was traveling. I really appreciated the regular updates with pictures and great communication—it gave me so much peace of mind. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable, responsible, kind and caring pet sitter!”

Vanessa R.

“Rachel was ideal in every way! Great communication, totally responsible, left the house in beautiful condition, made the cat fall in love with her. My time away was stress-free knowing that Rachel was caring for my guy Herbie.”

“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!”

“Stephen watched our dog Banjo in our home while we were away for 4 days. He seems to have lots of experience and very knowledgeable about dogs. He kept in touch with us about his comings and goings and sent us photos and videos of Banjo. Both Banjo and the house look clean and well cared for. Would use him again and recommend him to others.”

“Phoebe was great and my timid dog warmed up to her fairly quickly. She came by multiple times to make sure my dog got lots of walks while I was gone.”

Megan B.

“Jeffrey is fantastic! Very flexible and easy to communicate with, we really appreciated how willing he was to come over and meet our dogs twice before our trip. He was also more than willing to return to our house to let them outside for a quick break when we asked. Can’t recommend Jeffrey enough!”

Jenny M.

“Sofia was great! We felt really happy with her care for our dog Tanda. We requested very last minute and she was so quick to respond and help us out. Would recommend!”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs almost my entire life. I’ve taking care of family and neighbors dogs and it’s the best part of my day! Im currently working part time and I have plenty of extra time to take care of someone dog(s) for them. I want to help others out and this is something I would really enjoy doing! I have a dog and I walk him on nice days in my neighborhood after work and I play with him out in my back yard with a few of his favorite toys so he gets exercise.

“Kevin was amazing!! He took care of our new puppy when we unexpectedly adopted and had an international trip coming up. Couldn’t have asked for someone to take better care of our pup!”

“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.”

“God/Goddess thank you for Katie & her hubby too. Quilly was so so happy in the pictures and when I came home. Incredibly trustworthy and friendly lady (neighborly too! ) to care for pup.”

About: I have been called Dr. Dolittle my entire life. I have a knack for connecting with animals of all kinds. My very first job was working at a local farm with all different types of animals like horses, goats, pigs, chickens, ducks, etc. It was one of my favorite jobs, I got lucky! I also worked at a dog boarding facility which gave me experience working with multiple dogs at once. I always give animals the space to have their specific personality and the respect they deserve, as I would treat a human. Animals are often misunderstood, I’ve always tried to meet them where they stand. If there is one thing I am confident in, it’s making an animal feel safe and comfortable. And they do the same for me :) I would love to meet your faithful friend and see if they find me worthy of a tail wag or a belly pet! I currently work a very flexible part-time job. I have a lot of availability and can be very flexible. Working with animals is more than a job to me, I very much enjoy it. I will find ways to work with you and your pets personal needs. I love to schedule a meet-up before providing pet care. This is just to see that we are all on the same page and everyone feels it's a good fit. I do not offer home services. I will travel to your home so your pet can be where they are most comfortable. I work around you and your pets comfort. As a pet owner myself, I understand it can be hard to leave your companions in someone else’s care. I want to do what it takes to make you feel 100% safe and at ease when leaving your furbabies in my care.

“Jessie is simply wonderful to have watch your fur fam!! She is responsible, communicative, and just a pleasure to work with. Will 100% be reaching out again in the future!!!”

About: I have experience taking care of dogs and cats for families and friends, I know how to read body language and know when I've crossed boundaries. I always have patience for animals. I'm working part time so I have a lot of time available to work with pets, check in on them, and stay with them if needed. I am totally available for overnights, I'm a night owl so I can always check in with a pet and take care of them.

“Allie was great! She kept me updated throughout the day with photos and videos of all my dogs. She truly went above and beyond in every sense to make sure my dogs were well cared for and was attentive to every little detail. I would absolutely recommend Allie to anyone. I really felt good that my dogs were in good hands all day.”

“We hired Janice to take care of our dog, Drew, at our wedding, which he took part in. Drew is a rescue and can sometimes take a little time to warm to new people. Janice was patient with Drew and took great care of him! Janice fed Drew, walked him and sent us pictures and texts with updates about how he was doing. If you need someone to watch your dog, I recommend Janice!”

About: Please note: Pricing can be flexible depending on the situation, length of stay, and number of pets. I’m always happy to talk through the details! I’ve been pet sitting for over 15 years and animals have always been a huge part of my life. I’m one of those people who naturally gravitates toward dogs wherever I go. I also have six dogs of my own (including large breeds), so managing different personalities, routines, and energy levels is something I’m very comfortable with. These days I focus on in-home pet sitting, because most pets are happiest staying in their own space and keeping their normal routine. I know how hard it can be to leave your animals when you travel, so my goal is always to make it feel like they’re just hanging out with a friend who loves dogs as much as you do. I have experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages — from energetic young pups to seniors who need a little extra patience and care. I’m also comfortable administering medications and following detailed instructions to make sure everything stays consistent while you’re away. I’m very attentive and tend to get pretty attached to the animals I care for. I’ll send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pets are happy, safe, and getting lots of attention while you’re gone. If you’re looking for someone experienced, reliable, and genuinely excited to spend time with your pets, I’d love to connect. Pet care is part of our everyday life! My wife and I both work remotely about 90% of the week, which gives us plenty of time and flexibility to care for our own six dogs — and any visiting pets, too. Our days naturally revolve around feeding, walks, playtime, and snuggles, so incorporating other pets into that rhythm fits right in. In our home, pets are treated like family. We have a spacious, safe property with fenced areas for play and exercise, and we keep routines consistent with what each pet is used to, including feeding schedules, walks, and downtime. Since my wife and I both work from home most of the week, someone is almost always here to give attention and care. For client homes, I follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible - from meals and walks to playtime and cuddles - to keep them comfortable and stress-free in their own environment.

“Jon was amazing! He cared for our five dogs, chickens, and fish. He gave my senior dog daily medication and did diaper changes. Fed the chickens and collected eggs. He also got the mail and the house was cleaner when we got home then when we left. Jon is very personable, professional, and my dogs love him! Got daily updates and pictures too! Prompt response and communication from Jon made me feel very secure and confident. We cannot say enough about this great experience! We definitely recommend Jon for care of your animal family!”
