House Sitting in Ellenville

“Paula was fantastic from the beginning. Her communication is great. She’s kind and responsive and made me feel very confident that my pets would be well cared for. I have a diabetic cat who needs medicine, and Paula’s experience caring for pets with other medical conditions was reassuring. She sent lots of photos and I could tell they were well loved while I was away.”

About: I took animal science at port ewen boces throughout my junior and senior year of highschool. I've learned pet care, restraints, handling and grooming. I've always had a love for animals especially dogs! Pet care fits into my daily routine because i have three dogs at home that i walk and feed everyday. day. I am very comfortable with feeding schedules, walks, exercise, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I am confident handling both small and large dogs and understand the importance of patience, consistency, and proper control when working with them. 🐾 When caring for pets, I always make safety a priority. I make sure dogs are either on a leash or in a secure fenced area and never left to wander off alone. I also pay attention to foods and situations that could be harmful to pets so they stay healthy and safe. 🐶🐱💕

“Sarah was fantastic! We booked her for our 2 labs because we were getting married ! We didn't have to worry about them once, she played with them, and kept them happy. We would absolutely recommend her !”

“Excellent sitter. Tiffany house sat for us and watched our 3 dogs, who are definitely a handful, she did great with them and they loved her. Will definitely come back next time we need a sitter.”

“Natalie had no problem looking after our excitable and sometimes anxious dog (a 57lb hound mix) while we were away. She took her on great hikes and walks, fed her, and took lovely care of our house as well. Highly recommend!”

About: Hi! I'm Liz, a dedicated animal caretaker with over 20 years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and pocket pets. I'm passionate about keeping pets happy, healthy, and safe, whether it's through daily walks, playtime, or administering medications. I treat every animal like a member of my own family and take pride in providing consistent, loving, care tailored to each pet's unique needs. I work from home, so pet care fits into my daily or weekly routine in a way that is structured but flexible, depending on the pets' needs, and the type of care I am providing. I have over an acre in my back yard that can be enjoyed for playtime with pets. I have secure doors in my house, and I keep my home secure and pet-proof. No small objects or breakable items in areas where we play and spend time. I have a pet first-aid kit on hand in my home. I have contact information for local veterinarians and emergency clinics readily available. I have some basic knowledge in first-aid and CPR for dogs and cats.

“Alisa is a true animal lover and my gang adored her. She is a great communicator, always letting you know how everything is going, when she is arriving, when she is leaving. She sends lots of photos and videos and was a joy to work with. I felt like my guys were in great hands and I would absolutely work with her again!”

“Amy was so patient with our dogs - one of whom was on medication, and the other is very nervous. She was patient and communicative. I really appreciated her approach to our difficult dogs!”

Juli S.

“Kristina looked after our 2 5-year old lab/shepherd dogs at our home for 8 days. We couldn't have hoped for a better experience - Kristina goes above and beyond in every capacity. Kristina was excellent with our boys. They absolutely adore her! Kristina is a great communicator. She kept us well-informed as to how things were going at our home. She's mature, responsible, and a pleasure to interact with. Thanks to Kristina, we had a carefree vacation and returned home to 2 very happy, healthy, and content pups and a spotlessly clean home. Kristina is a gem!”

“Alexa was incredible with our girls and saved us when a sitter canceled last-minute. She sent the cutest pictures and I could tell my pups LOVED her. We can’t wait to have her back!”

Ana A.

“Arielle took great care of our dog. We highly recommend her to take care of yours too.”

Deborah F.

“Vanessa was by far the best sitter we’ve had in nearly ten years. She went above and beyond. She took pebbles on hikes and swims and dog parks, kept her super clean and managed her food and meds very well. We returned in over a week to find pebbles thriving. We would call on Vanessa in a heart beat going forward whenever we need someone to care for our pup.”

Samarth N.

“Nate is great! We just got home to two happy and tired dogs. He has a calm and reassuring presence, really happy he’s available to help us with our 6yr old, 70&80lb dogs. Thank you, Nathan!”

About: I have several years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, administering basic medications, long walks, and caring for senior dogs. I understand how important routine and safety are, and I always prioritize a calm, structured environment. I treat every pet like my own and provide regular updates, photos, and clear communication so you always feel at ease while you’re away. I currently maintain a structured schedule that allows me to dedicate focused time to pet care. I am available for morning, afternoon, and evening visits depending on your needs, including weekends. I prioritize consistency and punctuality, and I plan my day around feeding times, walks, and check-ins to ensure pets maintain their normal routine with minimal disruption. I provide a calm, structured, and supervised environment in my home. Pets are never left unattended for extended periods, and I follow their usual routine to reduce stress. I ensure safe introductions if other pets are present and maintain a clean, secure space at all times.

“Our fur family was in great hands with Abbey. Everyone had their walks, meals, and cuddles on time, and we got lots of photos which made us relax while were away. Thank you!”

Michael M.

“Abby was lovely and took amazing care of our pets. She had great communication and was incredibly easy to work with. We will be using her again.”

“Sophie did a great job with my Golden Retriever, Miller. She gave him a lot of exercise, kept him engaged, and followed all of my requests. I will definitely be requesting Sophie again for future house sitting needs!”

About: I’ve been caring for animals my entire life—whether it’s been my own pets, helping out friends, or rescuing strays in need. Both of my cats were rescued by me, and I’ve always had a natural connection with animals. They’re drawn to me, and I love giving them the same trust and affection they show me. I grew up with big dogs, including two pit bulls and a boxer, so I’m confident and comfortable handling larger breeds. Over the years, I’ve potty trained dogs, taught tricks, and cared for pets with all kinds of temperaments. My experience goes beyond cats and dogs—I’ve also cared for frogs, snakes, turtles, and even had the incredible opportunity to volunteer with elephants in Thailand. My love for animals runs so deep that I’ve been vegan for over a decade. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do—it’s truly part of who I am. What I Offer 🐾 A 100% open and flexible schedule—your pets will always get the time, love, and attention they deserve. 🐾 Experience with animals of all sizes, temperaments, and special needs. 🐾 Patience, playfulness, and genuine compassion for every pet I meet. Whether it’s cuddles, walks, playtime, or extra TLC, I’ll treat your fur babies like they’re my own. I have a completely open and flexible schedule, available any day and time. Since I mostly work from home, I can easily accommodate bookings, cancellations, last-minute changes, and special requests. The only exception is occasional weekend evenings after 5 PM, when I work at The Colony in Woodstock. Other than that, I’m always here for you and your pets! I live in a spacious three-bedroom, 2 story home with a large open yard, perfect for pets to play and explore. Your furry friend will have plenty of room to stretch, run, and enjoy the outdoors while getting all the exercise and fresh air they need to stay happy and healthy.

“Dante did a great job watching our two dogs for the weekend! He was easy to reach and the dogs were very happy and well taken care of. I would recommend.”
