House Sitting in Fresh Kills, Staten Island, NY

About: I’ve loved animals of all shapes and sizes my whole life. I knew as I grew up I wanted to go somewhere with it, I began by offering my services to neighbours and family friends and now like to branch out and help others with their animals. I am good with dealing with dogs that are anxious or just need a little extra care. I would say a skill of mine is being very attentive to their needs and behaviour. I am available most days to do drop ins or walks. I do have a part-time job, the days I work I mark as not available in the Rover calendar, but usually I can make things work. I’m quite a flexible person and I appreciate flexibility from pet parents. My biggest priority are making sure the pets are happy and safe always. I will follow any boundaries in homes I am staying at. If you are crate or leash training that is perfectly okay with me. I will always make sure to know where the dogs are at all times as well. When I am overnight/day sitting I prefer to stay with the animals most of the time

About: I've taken care of both cats and dogs for about a decade. I am experienced in taking care of multiple pets in a home and I am also experienced in working with senior/sick dogs and giving oral medications to both cats and dogs. I work full time as a preschool teacher and am also working towards getting my Master's degree so, unfortunately, my availability on the weekdays is limited to when I get out of work after 3:30pm. Unless there is a break from school (i.e. spring break, winter break) or school is closed for holidays, my availability on the weekdays won't change. On weekends, I am fully available unless otherwise stated on the calendar. Trust and safety between us and your pet are top priority to me! I like to meet in advance so you can show me how you like things done and so we can build a rapport. Meeting before our scheduled booking also lets me meet your pet(s)! It helps when I can build a relationship beforehand so that they are more comfortable and it gives you a chance to see how they respond to me. Though I do give pets time to warm up to me as not all are too keen on having strangers in their home. I know how difficult it can be to leave your pet (and home) with a stranger, but I will do anything needed to make you and your pet feel as comfortable with me as possible!

“Taylor is overall just fantastic! She kept me updated on my dog, from pictures to when they went out to his feeding schedule. She made sure he was safe the entire time and thats the best thing needed for any dog owner while theyre out of town.”

“Angelica was so wonderful with Pig! She took such great care of our sassy old pittie and even help us start a new crate sleeping routine thanks Pig deciding she needed to sprain her ankle right before we left. She checked in with us each day and was timely in replying to any questions or texts I sent her way. She was respectful of our home and went above and beyond her responsibilities by bring in any packages/mail that was delivered and cleaned all the lickmats, kongs and toys. We look forward to booking her again.”

“Sara was amazing! She jumped right into action given it was a last min booking. She sent lots of pictures and videos and kept me informed on my baby through out the day. Definitely will be using Sara as long as she’s available.”

“Oleg was just fantastic! He engaged easily with my puppy and took him out for long walks several times during the day. I appreciated all the exercise my pup got. He went above and beyond in my home tending to my cats which was not part of his responsibilities. He changed the cat litter, cleaned up after them and gave them snacks.”

“Melissa was excellent. She sent photos of my dog having fun every day. The house was in perfect condition when I returned. Melissa is a responsible, warm person. I highly recommend her.”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Paige is the first sitter we hire through this app. And the experience couldn’t have been easier. She came to the house to meet Toby a few days before the actual sitting and it was great, in general he is afraid of other people and has Separation Anxiety, but with her he was all happy and playful. On the sitting day she arrived on time, and took the time to go over the care details for Toby and he continued his regular routine. Additionally, she spent time playing with him throughout the day. Toby really liked spending time with her and it was like we had never left the house. She is a great sitter and we will be hiring her again.”

About: From birth, I’ve always cared for pets. I saw my first dog, Max, to the end of his life at the age of 19. Currently owning cats with my family, I have experience with dogs, cats, birds, fish, even snakes. I’ve raised kittens and puppies and though I have little experience training, I’m a fast learner and I love a challege. Currently working part time at Universal, I would love to spend time with and take care of your pets. I normally have Sundays, Thursdays, and Fridays off so I can stay home and enrich your furry family members and on the other days I generally work mornings so I’ll be back for an afternoon of play time. I’m great to sticking to plans and schedules, and I will do everything I can to make sure your furry friend(s) is as comfortable and happy as they can be without their person around.

About: Growing up, I have always looked after dogs of close friends and family, and have studied nutrition and health, which led me to work at a pet hotel for about a year with almost every dog breed. My responsibilities included prepping food, cleaning, 1 on 1 play, and group play. I have been in charge of up to 20 dogs at 1 time. I also co-own a dog named Luna. The other owner and I had Luna since she was a puppy and she is now 5 years old. I teach obedience/behavior training to many dogs and I develop trust with dogs that is unique to my experience with various breeds. It takes patience and consistency to be a great leader for dogs and I wear my heart on my sleeve for every dog I'm caring for; communication with your dog is key. I currently work part time and make Dog care apart of my every day routine, if I'm not with my dog I'm working with other dogs. I have a good size open backyard and toys depending on the play style of your dog; crate training is much appreciated if they are familiar. Walks are frequent, especially for high energy dogs

“Such a great experience meeting Cassie and having her stay with Billie! Billie loves her and we couldn’t be happier that our pup was so well taken care of. If we could give more than 5 stars we would 😊”

About: I’ve always enjoyed spending time with animals and I have over 5 years of experience caring for my own cats, and hands-on experience with small to medium- sized dogs. I am comfortable with basic care routine like feeding , walking, and playtime, and I enjoy learning each pet’s unique personality I offer both drop-ins and in-home pet sitting. Since I work remotely full-time, I am flexible with when I can come over to care for your pets I care for pets by creating a calm, safe environment. I understand the importance of routine, gentle handling, and observing subtle behavior changes to ensure pets are happy and healthy.

About: Hey there! My wife and I have two adorable pups—Hazel Basil, who’s 7, and Ozzy Baby, who’s 2. Lucky for us, I work a hybrid job, so I can be pretty flexible to look after your furry friends. My goal? To get in 10k steps a day, enjoy some sweet treats along the way, stay hydrated, and most importantly, have fun! Since I currently care for my 2 fur babies, what’s a few more ? We enjoy long walks , pup cups and car rides . I work a full time job however it leaves me with a lot of flexibility to work around your fnoofs and my fnoofs schedules. I have a fenced front yard , along with a gated backyard where the fur babies can get their zoomies out. If your pup likes to be by themself I do have a calming corner as well .

About: I grew up with pets since I was 6 years old and have volunteered at Petco Pet adoption events fueling my love for animals and pet care. Recently just graduated with my MBA and looking to make extra money while doing something I love. I work A flexible schedule in marketing and have reliable transportation so I am very available and flexible to work with you and adapt to your schedule. I will make sure to know what you are comfortable with when caring for your pet. I will never leave your pet unattended and will treat them as my own when I spend time with them.

“Beth was truly amazing!!! Me and my now husband got married last weekend and we were stressing about our fur babies since everyone who would watch him were going to be away with us. I reached out to Beth and from the minute we started speaking I knew they would be in good hands. My cat is friendly and easy to take care of but my dog Capone is a large scared anxious boy. He gets depressed when we aren’t around. Beth sent me pictures and updates the whole weekend. She was patient with him and made him feel comfortable. He definitely warmed up to her and now has a new friend. When we got back and she came by he was so excited to see her! I can’t thank her enough and will definitely be using her again to watch my fur babies!”

About: Hi, my name is Vivian and I would love to get a chance to know your pet! I absolutely love animals and dogs have a special place in my heart. I have a lot of experience in dog walking and basic pet care, as I have a dog myself. I also have experience caring for cats and have one myself as well. I can be relied on to walk, feed, and bathe your pets as needed and if your pet is on a schedule I will make sure it is followed. I would love to get to know you and your furried friend better and give your pet the care it deserves. Looking forward to meeting and getting to know both you and your pet! I am a recent college graduate student and am available to work any day of the week, especially for the summer. I would love to spend time with and to care for your furry friends! I typically walk my own dog as a part of my daily routine and I would be glad to make helping you out as another part of my daily routine. In my own home, my dog is pretty well-trained. He knows not “go” in the house, listens to basic commands, and gets along with people and other dogs well. Therefore we do not have restrictions for him in the house. However, if your dog is not allowed to go into certain areas of the house or onto certain furniture or requires to be put in their cage, I have no problem keeping them out of restricted areas and putting them in their cages before leaving if requested.

About: I am a dedicated animal lover with extensive experience caring for a variety of pets. Growing up, I had not just the usual cats and dogs, but also multiple caged animals. I’m skilled in changing food, water, and bedding for those pets. I offer a meet-and-greet at your home so you and your furry friend can feel comfortable with me. Feel free to message me about the services I provide. I’ll even do a mini photo shoot of your pet after spending quality time with them! Additionally, I became TNR certified last year to help feral cats. I have reliable transportation, so I can easily come to you. I can't wait to meet you and your special pet! I work a full-time job, but my schedule is quite flexible. If you let me know a week or two in advance about your vacation plans, I can adjust my availability to accommodate you! Once I know your location, I'll research local dog parks and community trails to take your dog for enjoyable walks. All dogs love outdoor exercise! Plus, after a fun day of running and making friends, they’ll certainly appreciate a treat!
