House Sitting in Elizaville

“Rima could star in a River ad. She is highly diligent and enthusiastic and we are grateful to her for her care of our awesome cat. Rima makes a point of being I. Hand for your return so you can verify everything is in good shape, which is a level of care you won’t find from any folks. You will get many many photos and videos of yore pets. Thanks again to Rima for the thoughtful help!”

“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!”

April R.

“Alexis was great with Nancy Moo and obviously cares deeply about animals. Communication was awesome as were the photos, everything was left tidy, and most important of all I cam home to a happy pup. I would not hesitate to book Alexis again - highly recommend!”

About: I have taken care of dogs, cats, and rabbits since I was 15. I adore all types of animals and make sure all pets and animals are happy and well taken care of! I currently work full time and have a fairly flexible schedule. I often do not have plans on weekends or plans for only a portion of the day. I cannot keep other pets in my home but happy to take care of them elsewhere! Happy to do it all: Take for walks, clean litter boxes, brush, feed, and most importantly give pets and cuddles!

“She was so good! Wonderful communication, and my dog loved her!”

About: Hi there! I’m Gaby, and I’ve been caring for beloved animal friends, including dogs, cats, (and even ducks!) for private clients over the past six years. Whether it’s a daily walk, an overnight stay, or simply some loving company while you’re away, I treat every animal as if they were my own. I’m reliable, experienced, and passionate about what I do, and I’m now expanding my pet care services through Rover to reach even more furry (and feathered) friends. References from long time clients are happily available upon request. I believe trust is everything when it comes to your pets. Let’s connect! I’d love to meet your companions and be part of their happy, healthy routine. As an artist and student attending Bard College, I structure my days to be present and attentive; qualities that naturally extend to the animal friends I care for. My schedule is flexible in the evenings and on weekends, which means I can accommodate night visits, drop ins, and extended weekend stays with ease. Caring for animals is a grounding and joyful part of my routine. Whether it’s early morning feeds before class, relaxing evening walks, or playful visits on weekends, I prioritize each animals' comfort and happiness as part of my daily flow. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine and trainings as consistent as possible with feeding, walks, playtime, and cuddles all happen on schedule to keep them comfortable and happy. I respect your space, clean up after all visits, and make sure your pet feels calm and safe until you return. When caring for pets in my own home, I create a welcoming, low stress environment with plenty of attention, enrichment, and comfort. Whether in your home or mine, my aim is to communicate clearly with updates and photos so you know your pet is in good hands.

About: I’ve been a pet owner for 11 years. I work as a vet assistant. I am trained to read an animals body language and look for signs of distress. I am a very patient, caring, compassionate and empathetic individual. I genuinely enjoy meeting and caring for all types of animals, and I look forward to caring for yours! (: I do work full time, but otherwise I have open availability. I am willing to work around my schedule to help meet your needs (: I feed them, clean up after them, give them medication if needed, bathe them, walk them as often as needed. If your animal is on a schedule of any kind, it will be cared for accordingly.

“From the moment that I met Emily, I understood that her relationships with animals are deeply reciprocal. She is a patient and caring friend and enjoys the love that they offer in return. Emily stayed with my senior Boxer for 10 days at my home. She was a conscientious sitter -- taking perfect care of my home and of my pet. Knuckie typically experiences a few days of depression and hives when I leave but with Emily he was in good spirits, eating and in his normal routine. Honestly, he looked fantastic when I returned -- like he'd had a week at a spa. Emily's communication was perfect and she even went above and beyond to have a food order for us when our late flight arrived! I give Emily my highest recommendation!”

“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!”

“Elisha did a wonderful job watching my shy pup and two kitties while we were gone for an evening. Although my dog is rather nervous around strangers, my pup ended up sleeping with Elisha during a storm. It gave me great comfort to know my animals were being looked after during the storm and while we were away. Looking forward to having her watch my pets again next week!! Thanks for everything, Elisha!”

“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!”

“Christine jumped in for a last minute request to sit with our very old baby dog for a long day. She had never met us or him before and her relaxed confident demeanor overcame his (and my) nervousness. I am grateful we found her and will ask her again to sit for us.”

Erin R.

“They were absolutely great with our pup! Super communicative and trustworthy. Gave us tons of photos as well. Highly recommend, especially to anyone who has any poodles or poodle mixes!”

“I felt so comfortable leaving my animal kids w Kimberly! She went above and beyond what I asked of her. Am hiring her fo 3 weeks in September!”

Milly K.

“Dena is fantastic. She was able to house sit and take care of my dog and two cats on short notice. She is responsible, caring, and kept me updated while she stayed at our place. I would hire her again in a heart beat!”

Sarah A.

“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.”

“We are so thrilled to be working with Lisa — our dog Grace immediately loved her, and she is so happy and tired after their time together. Lisa is super communicative and made us feel so comfortable from the first time we met her.”
