Dog Sitting Hartsdale

About: I have experience with petsitting very anxious dogs, pets with special needs, and pets who need more attention than most. Just let me know ahead of time if your dog barks at everything so I can be prepared to soothe them. I'm pretty flexible with most pets! I'm available 24/7 in Westchester, NY. I need something to do to keep me busy since I don't have much of a schedule at the moment. Let me know if your pet has any special needs or preferences. Please bring toys or anything else your pet uses daily. I'm pretty flexible and I can sort out the rest of anything.

“As a repeat client of Colleen’s I can say that she cares so much about the pets she cares for! She is always on time and spends quality time with my 16 year old cat, who loves her. Thanks so much Colleen!”

About: Since I was three, I've always had a dog in my life. Whilst caring for my own pets over the years, I've become the go-to dog sitter for friends and family. They'd rely on me to spend time, walk/let out, and feed their pets. Eventually, I was able to branch out and build a clientele over the past three years. I have experience with senior care as well, where I'd have to administer medication and clean up after them, should they have incontinence issues. Before I got into overnight dog sitting, I was a volunteer at Paws Crossed Animal Rescue in 2017-18 and an intern in 2018. My responsibilities included walking, playing, and spending time with dogs of all different backgrounds. At the moment, I do not work full-time, so I'm essentially available for house sitting/overnight care on weekdays. My weekend schedule can be flexible. I will not be available for boarding. In regard to caring for pets in a client's home, I will follow their instructions and adhere to their usual routine when looking after and tending to their pet(s).

“This is my second time booking Lori and she was amazing! She took great care of my babies, and I will definitely be re-booking for my next vacation! Thank you so much Lori!!”

About: I've been surrounded by animals my entire life and have experience caring for dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, and horses. Through my involvement in 4-H, where I served as president of my club, I developed strong animal care skills, leadership experience, and a deep appreciation for responsible pet ownership. Growing up, I regularly helped care for family pets and spent time dog walking for neighbors. During high school and college, I provided drop-in visits for pets, helping with feeding, walks, playtime, and companionship. I'm currently a proud dog mom to my hound mix, Choco, which keeps me active and helps me stay in tune with dogs' individual needs and personalities. I understand that every pet is different, and I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. What sets me apart is my lifelong experience with a variety of animals, my reliability, and my genuine love for pets. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply a calm and reassuring presence, I'll provide attentive care and treat them like part of my own family. Beginning this fall, I'll be a law student, but my schedule still allows me to provide reliable pet care throughout the week. I have excellent availability on weekends and am generally available in the late afternoons and evenings on weekdays. I also expect to have availability for early morning visits before class and occasional drop-in visits between classes, depending on my daily schedule. Because my class schedule varies, I'm happy to communicate and work with pet parents to find times that fit their needs. Whether your pet needs a walk, a drop-in visit, feeding, playtime, or companionship, I'll do my best to provide flexible, dependable care. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and comfortable in their environment. As the owner of an anxious dog, Choco, I know that every pet has different needs and that changes in routine can sometimes be stressful. I take the time to learn each pet's personality, preferences, and routines so I can provide care that helps them feel secure and at ease. When caring for pets in a client's home, I strive to maintain their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. I pay close attention to safety by ensuring doors, gates, and leashes are secure and by keeping a watchful eye on pets during walks and outdoor time. My goal is to create a calm, positive experience for every pet by being patient, attentive, and respectful of their boundaries. Whether a pet is energetic and social or shy and anxious, I'll provide compassionate care and treat them as if they were my own.

“This was our first time getting a cat sitter at first we were nervous but once we read the positive reviews on Jennifer’s profile we contacted right away. Jennifer was amazing with our cat Alejandro. He’s still a kitten and she played with him as much as he wanted to play. She’s really good at reading his body language and giving him affection. She took really good care of him and put our minds at ease while on vacation. We will definitely use her again our cat just loves her.”

“MaryAnn was wonderful! She took great care of our older cat while we were on vacation and sent regular updates on how he was doing. We’d definitely recommend MaryAnn!”

About: Hello! I’ve been in the pet care industry for 3 years professionally, and almost my whole life personally through friends and family. I’m an animal lover, and I’m ready to meet some new friends! I used to service dogs in East Midtown and have experience with many breeds and temperaments. I also own cats and have worked professionally as a cat sitter in Chelsea/Downtown. I recently moved to the area and can offer walks, sittings, and boarding. We can set up a free meet and greet to see how we can work together to help your companion thrive. I work 10am through 6pm Monday-Friday for walks, extra charge for anything outside of that time frame and weekends/holidays. Inquire about sittings/boardings. Safety is always my priority when it comes to any sort of service. I follow any given instructions and communicate with the parents if I have any questions/concerns. I’m also CPR certified.

About: I’ve loved and cared for animals my whole life. Friends, family, and peers trust me to take care of their pets while they’re away. I made sure that they returned home better than ever like they went on a vacation too! I have experience with high-energy pups to senior dogs and can adapt to their personality and pace. I enjoy caring for animals from walking, playing, administering medication, grooming, and providing a calm space. What find most important is being patient and attentive to what your pet specifically needs. My top priority is always keeping pets happy and healthy. I’m currently on a break from school and not working on anything else. My dog, cat, and turtle keep me company in the house. I enjoy daily walks, visiting the park, and sunset outings. Rain or shine I’m available to go on walks, have playtime, visit parks, or give cozy cuddles. I’d be happy to take dogs out to walk wherever they’re most comfortable. I can also assist with grooming, clean up, take in mail, water plants, or any other tasks. I’m currently not taking pets into my home but I am willing to travel.

About: I've had dogs for my whole life, and have been called upon to take care of my friends dogs when needed. I am also great to play catch with, so I'll be ready to toss a ball. I am a student, so I have more time in the afternoon than morning, but my schedule is fixed. I am also free early in the mornings, and can do overnights if needed. I think that I work towards keeping the dogs exercised and stimulated, but also being able to draw boundaries. I will fully respect any house rules with the dogs, and will cater towards whatever the owner needs.

“PJ was so great with my cat! He took excellent care of her and gave me so many updates and photos while I was away. Will definitely book with him again.”

About: I provide calm, attentive pet care for dogs and cats who are happiest with plenty of individual attention and a familiar routine. I grew up around animals and have cared for pets for family and clients on both sides of the Atlantic. I know how important it is to feel completely comfortable with the person looking after your pet and, for house sitting, your home. For boarding and daycare, I offer a quiet home environment in White Plains with a large fenced yard and no pets of my own. I keep bookings intentionally limited, which means your dog is not entering a busy home full of unfamiliar animals. I especially enjoy caring for dogs who are very attached to their people, a little anxious in new environments, older, or simply happiest with more personal attention. I work from home and genuinely enjoy having a dog as part of my day. Depending on their personality and routine, that might mean long walks, time in the yard, play, lounging around the house, or simply having someone nearby. I follow each pet’s normal feeding, exercise, medication, and sleep routines as closely as possible because I believe good pet care should feel familiar to them, not like their entire life has suddenly changed because their people went away. I also offer in home pet and house sitting for animals who are most comfortable staying in their own space. I treat every home with respect and keep pets on the routines they know, whether that means a 7 AM walk, medication at a specific time, or a cat who has very strong opinions about where dinner should be served. My background is in hospitality and event management, so reliability, organization, and communication are second nature to me. You can expect regular photos and updates, clear communication, and someone who takes the responsibility of caring for your pet seriously. Most importantly, I genuinely enjoy getting to know each animal as an individual. Some want adventures. Some want the yard. Some want to spend the entire afternoon attached to your hip. I’m very happy to accommodate all three. 🐾 I work from home with a flexible schedule, so pet care fits naturally into my day rather than being squeezed in around a traditional office job. I keep my bookings intentionally limited so I can give each pet plenty of individual attention and build my day around their normal routine. Depending on the pet, that might include morning and evening walks, midday yard time, play, meals, medication, or simply plenty of company throughout the day. I’m home for much of the day and can accommodate dogs who enjoy being close to their person, while still following whatever routine they are accustomed to at home. My goal is to make their time with me feel relaxed, predictable, and genuinely enjoyable. Whether I’m caring for a pet in my home or theirs, I take the responsibility seriously. I follow feeding schedules, medications, exercise routines, and any household instructions carefully, while also paying attention to the individual animal in front of me. At my home in White Plains, dogs have a calm environment, a large fenced yard, and no resident pets to navigate. I keep bookings intentionally limited and make sure gates and doors are secure before any outdoor time. I also follow each owner’s instructions around walks, sleeping arrangements, feeding, crating, and how long their pet can comfortably be left alone. For house sitting, I treat your home with the same respect I would want someone to show mine. I keep things tidy, maintain your pet’s familiar routine, and send regular photos and updates so you can actually enjoy your time away without wondering what is happening back home. Before a first booking, I like to learn about each pet’s routine, personality, health needs, triggers, and emergency contacts so I can provide care that feels both safe and personal.

“Maggie is a wonderful sitter. My shy kitty loves her and she is always reliable and helpful on her visits. We continue to rebook her - she’s great!”

About: With childhood companions including a cocker spaniel, a cat, and a bird, plus later caring for a French Bulldog, I specialize in compassionate pet care. Balancing part-time commitments allows me to stay flexible for boarding services, ensuring I can adjust my schedule to prioritize your pet's well-being and give them the care and attention they truly deserve. When I'm looking after your pets in your home, my main goal is to make sure they feel comfortable and happy. That means sticking to their feeding routines, ensuring they get plenty of play and exercise, and keeping everything tidy. I'll treat your furry friends like they're my own!

About: What sets me apart is my calm, attentive nature and genuine love for dogs of all ages and energy levels. I have hands-on experience with both playful puppies and senior dogs who need a little extra care and patience. Whether it’s managing leash training, administering medications, or just giving your pup a consistent, loving routine while you’re away, I treat every dog like they’re my own. My goal is to give pet parents peace of mind and pets a safe, happy experience every time. I work a regular 7am to 4pm Monday to Friday. So I am available afternoons, weekends and holidays. I am available to work with your schedule. I have a court yard. I have a dog seat in my car to take them to a local park. There are a few dog friendly parks in the area.

About: I’ve been caring for pets for as long as I can remember. I’ve had dogs of my own and a cat for 12 years, giving me over 25 years of hands-on experience providing daily care, companionship, and love. Over the years, I’ve also cared for pets belonging to friends, family, and neighbors, gaining experience with animals of different ages, sizes, and personalities. I genuinely love animals and enjoy building trust with them, whether that means active playtime, long walks, or simply keeping them company. I know how important it is to leave your pet with someone reliable, attentive, and kind, and I take that responsibility seriously. I work full-time Monday through Friday from 8 AM to 4 PM, but I’m available for evening walks and drop-in visits after work. I’m also available for overnight house sitting during the week and on weekends, as long as your pet is comfortable being home while I’m at work. My weekends are generally flexible, and I’m always happy to coordinate a schedule that works best for you and your furry family members! I provide pet care in the owner’s home and follow each pet’s established routine and preferences to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. Caring for pets in their own home helps reduce stress and allows them to stay in a familiar environment while you’re away.

About: I am an animal lover! I grew up with both dogs and cats so I can promise to make sure your pet is comfortable and cared for. With me, your pet will be treated like family!

Whether it’s providing nice walks for energetic dogs, fun playtime for sweet kitties or offering gentle care for senior pets, I will always tailor my approach to your pet’s specific needs. What sets me apart is my dedication to creating a safe, loving, and stress-free environment. I will take my time to learn your pet’s preferences, routine and personality to ensure they feel happy & engaged. I work from home 3 days a week and am around during weekends so have a lot of flexibility in my schedule. I can provide walks or drop in care during weekdays when you are at work and will be available for longer care if you are gone for the weekend. During any drop-in visits in your home, my main goal is to ensure your pet feels safe & comfortable. I will stick to their routines with feeding, exercise and cuddle time to provide the utmost care!

About: I have two senior dogs, and plenty of experience walking, feeding, and bathing dogs of all shapes and sizes! I also have a tortoise so I’m careful with animals and patient with gaining their trust. Just graduated college and work from home so my schedule is flexible. I also have access to a car so transportation shouldn’t be an issue. I like to gain the dogs trust before taking them out for a walk, so I would usually sit next to them let them come to me and reward them as they get more comfortable being around me either with treats or pets or playing with them.

About: Love dogs all kind. First I pet seat my friend’s dogs when they were away. Then I got my own dog. Alaska is a 34 lbs pomsky. She is very playful and would like a company. I can take your dog to a dog park or the dog beach. Both of those amenities are next to my house. Moreover I have small fenced yard for playing with bunch of balls.I work from home , so have a lot free time to pet sit fur babies and take them for plenty of walks. If you are away for a short trip, book your pet a bed and breakfast inn in my house. I will take care of your furry friend either at my house or yours. Currently work from home. Very flexible. However prefer drop offs and pick ups in mornings. If pick up after 3 pm addition charge may apply I have fenced yard where. I can let dogs out for quick pee and play if needed. However I take them on walks at least 2 times a day. If good weather, I may take them to the dog park or rye beach

“Tamette and Ahn were wonderful with Daisy when they stopped by to meet her for the first time before we were going to be away. They were gentle and patient with her and she warmed up to them quickly. Tamette let me know how it went in detail when I asked, which I really appreciated. We would definitely use her again, and hope to leave Daisy with Tamette and Ahn at their home when we go away for a week in January.”
