House Sitting in Glen Head

“I cannot say enough about Ashley! She spent the weekend with my dogs and she was FABULOUS! The sweetest young lady. My dogs LOVE her (and they don’t love many!!). Ash sent me pictures all weekend, great communication- such an incredible demeanor with the dogs. I literally feel like for the first time in years, I can actually go away with total confidence and trust that my dogs are in the best of hands. She is really special.”

“Joelle was very nice and great with my 6 month old puppy. She’s a veterinarian in training and you can tell she absolutely loves dogs. Will definitely be using her again soon!”

About: Hi, I’m Gianna! I'm a passionate first year vet student with hands-on experience in emergency vet med and general practice. I’ve worked in vet clinics and have two amazing rescue pups of my own! Whether it's dogs, cats, or pocket pets, I’m here to provide loving, knowledgeable, and reliable care for your furry friends. 🐾 Currently I am ending my first year of vet school and will be starting my second year in the fall, which means I will have plenty of time to drop in on your beloved pet(s)! I can provide house sitting, walking, drop in, etc! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities! With my experience in both emergency and general veterinary settings, I take every precaution to ensure your pet is safe, happy, and stress-free. I’ll care for them as if they were my own, offering plenty of love, attention, and patience while following the same safety measures used by vet staff. Whether it’s administering medications, monitoring their well-being, or simply making sure they feel comfortable in their own home, you can trust that your pet is in experienced, caring hands.

About: HIGHLY EXPERIENCED WITH DOGS THAT HAVE BEHAVIORAL ISSUES!! Eager to work! :) I have grown up with, and helped care for, dogs my whole life. For the past 3 years I have been training my dog, currently with assistance from a trainer. He was fearful-reactive and is now an amazing service dog in training. I have been a volunteer at the world’s largest no-kill shelter for 2 years now. I have handled dogs of all ages, sizes, breeds, and temperaments. I have worked with blind and senior dogs. I have run puppy play groups, as well as puppy mill, senior, and teen play groups. some behavioral challenges in dogs that I have worked with include: fearful; reactive; food and/or object possessive; stranger danger; seperation anxiety; dog vs dog aggression; strong leadership; mouthy; and more i’m sure i’m forgetting. I have taken several extensive dog training classes to improve my skill and knowledge. I was the first 16 year old to reach one of the most advanced dog levels. I am very well-versed in understanding dog body language. I have dealt with sick dogs as well as dogs with skin conditions. I have helped get the neighbors dog to eat, as well as go potty and play, and dog walked for several clients. I also have experience with cats from the shelter as i have taken advanced feline behavior classes. I am able to understand cat body language fairly well. I have worked with cats as well as kittens, and cat sat several times. I can care for, and clean up after, dogs and/or cats. I will always respect your pets boundaries. I am currently an undergrad with the goals of becoming a veterinarian! I will genuinely treat your fur babies as my own. My dedication and passion truly is to ALL animals. 🩷 I am a full time college student. I regularly update my calendar to show my availability. Make sure to check there! Can’t wait to hear from you :) I will make sure your pet has fresh food and water, as well as making sure there is nothing clearly dangerous left out that the pet could hurt themselves with or eat. I will ensure everything is as it was when I came, as well as closing and locking any doors I used. I will dispose of animal waste as instructed. On walks I have a steady balance and strong leash hold to ensure the dog stays with me. I may carry treats with me for minor training/intervention (if allowed and if the dog pulls or something like that). If your dog is scared of certain things or creatures I will take precautions to avoid anything triggering to the dog. Lastly, I will certainly make sure the pet(s) feel loved, happy, and relaxed.

“If I could vote 6/5, for Jill as a petsitter, I would. I was leaving for a much-needed vacation, 8 days, and at the last minute, my friend who was to watch my dog, Kasey Jane, and my 8-month old kitten, Lenta (Polenta!), became sick. I reached out to Jill on Rover, having never met her before and she responded immediately. Jill jumped in and efficiently, pleasantly and with a true love of my beloved pets, saved the day! Jill also stayed with my two lovable furballs overnight. During my trip, Jill sent photos of my pets, further putting my mind at ease and allowing me to enjoy my vacation. When I returned, it was as if I'd never left - Kasey and little Lenta were happy and well cared for and my home was in the nice order I'd left it. I strongly urge anyone looking for a pet/home sitter to hire Jill!”

“Nicki is great! She stayed in communication with me and sent pictures! She asked thoughtful questions, and was flexible/adaptable with our particular needs. My kitty loves her, and she was very warm and professional. We would definitely book with her again in the future!”

About: I’m a lifelong dog lover who has been around dogs since I was seven years old. I raised my own Golden Retriever from puppyhood and have regularly babysat and cared for my friends’ dogs, who trust me to keep their pets safe, engaged, and happy. I strongly believe in active play, enrichment, and fun, balanced with attentive supervision. I also have a large, fully fenced backyard that provides a safe and spacious environment for dogs to run, play, and socialize. I work remote full time at home and am always around. I leave my office open and have my fur friends around. I take them on long walks and of course cuddle time 🐶 I have a fenced back yard. Very safe in a cul de sac neighborhood. My Ziggy golden retriever is the perfect puppy friend for your pup!

“Our animals were well cared for!”

“Jayden is amazing - she is so responsible and was very loving to my dog. She kept in good communication while I was away - sent photos of my dog and let me know how he is eating and taking "care of business." I highly recommend Jayden and will most definitely ask her back agaiin.”

“Liz was everything we could ask for and more in the way she housesit and cared for our special needs beagle. She took him on great walks, had no trouble administering his meds (11 pills twice a day plus some additional in his food), and was constantly updating us with photos, videos, and texts. She put us totally at ease being away from our pet, and that is rare given the demands of a special needs dog. She is at the top of our list and is the first person we’ll call anytime we go away again.”

Jeff B.

“Samantha was so kind, gentle and caring with my Noelle, I could not have asked for a better “babysitter”! I am so grateful to have met her and look forward to working with her again!”

Renee B.

“Jacqueline was great!!! It was my first time leaving my baby and she made me feel so comfortable and sent me pics and updates throughout the day.”

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats- near and far- for a while now. I have experience with all kinds of dogs and cats- breeds and size combined. I am available for dog walking/sitting any time before 9 AM and after 5 PM on weekdays and any time on weekends! Just let me know a little in advanced and I will do my best to accommodate you. I have a fenced in backyard, as well as a pen for my puppy to keep him safe and happy. He enjoys running around outside in the backyard and I know he will be safe because it is fenced in.

“Stephanie is was great with Abby. She kept me updated at all times. Abby really enjoyed her company and I could not be more happy. I recommend her she is amazing and even fed my pet goldfish!”

“Ela was fantastic! She took care of my cat and dog, and they both fell in love with her. She kept in touch with me and also sent photos. I highly recommend Ela and will be using her again!”

About: Hi, I’m Tay! I provide reliable, attentive pet care with a gentle and patient approach, especially for shy, anxious, or rescue animals. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and my goal is always to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’ve cared for animals my entire life, including dogs, cats, ducks, and horses. I had a Lhasa Apso for 14 years who was truly my best friend, so I understand how deeply pets are loved and how important it is to treat them like family. I also currently care for three cats who came to me as strays. I spent over two years patiently earning their trust and helping nurse them back to health, which taught me a lot about reading behavior, building trust, and caring for animals with different needs. I have experience with: • Puppies and kittens • Senior pets • Sick or recovering animals • Oral medication administration I take a calm, patient, and structured approach to pet care. For shy or anxious pets: I never rush interaction I let them come to me I speak calmly and move gently For high-energy dogs: I provide both physical exercise and mental stimulation For all pets: I follow routines closely I pay attention to behavior changes I prioritize safety at all times I’m currently in grad school for social work and completing an internship, but I make it a priority to keep my schedule as flexible as possible. I’m able to adjust my availability around classes and other commitments, and I do my best to accommodate your pet’s needs and routine whenever possible. I care for every pet like they’re my own and always prioritize their safety, comfort, and well-being. Whether I’m visiting your home or taking your pet on a walk, I take a calm, attentive approach and pay close attention to their behavior and needs. I provide regular updates with photos and messages so you always know how your pet is doing. If anything seems out of the ordinary, I will always reach out to you first before taking action because I respect that you know your pet best.

“John was responsible and reliable. We felt so comfortable leaving our pups and our home in his care. He was super responsive and came to meet the dogs before the care began. Thank you John!”

“Kevin took great care of my two frenchies while I was travelling. One has special needs and both take a number daily medications and Kevin handled it all perfectly. They also have allergies and special dietary requirements and were happy and healthy when I got home. Kevin kept me updated with cute pictures everyday and was great to work with! My apt was also left neat and tidy! Thanks so much Kevin! Will definitely rebook for our next trip!”

Kelly W.

“Carina was very accommodating and caring when taking care of my dog Lexi. She communicates well throughout the day and sent pictures. I feel comfortable leaving Lexi alone with her.”

Alice C.

“Brandon did a fantastic job watching over our pets. It couldn’t have went any better. He was able to give our kitten the special attention she needed with her daily medications.”
