House Sitting in Hollowville

“Michele is an absolute dream! My husband and I booked her for a weekend to watch our senior Basset Hound, Lady, and she made us (and Lady) feel SO at ease. Lady is older and needs medication, so we're always nervous leaving her with other people, but Michele really did such an amazing job with her. She sent us tons of updates throughout the weekend—photos, detailed reports on how everything was going, etc. We felt very comfortable knowing Lady was in such good hands. Michele even went as far as keeping the exact (quite detailed lol) routine we have for Lady and accepted all her quirks with open arms. She really went above and beyond for us. If you're looking for someone who will love your dog as much as you do while you're away, book Michele!”

“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!”

“Incredible! Communicative through the entire stay and my apartment is cleaner than i left it which is so Incredibly nice of her! I'm so pleased, and though this was a one-off/unlikely to need a dog sitter again type of vacation, I would without a doubt use Rose again if needed.”

“Emily is such a wonderful person! She instantly connected with our dogs and they felt at home with her right away. She is extremely conscientious and shares lots of helpful updates. We felt super happy and comfortable on our trip with our pups in her care. Book with her if you have a chance!”

About: Hi! My name is Andrea. I have lived in the Hudson Valley for almost 4 years now, and have been working in the area off and on since 2014. I live with my partner, Mike, and precious pup Kona. I have always lived with dogs. And recently, have been thinking about getting a cat! I am an Occupational Therapist in a school district full time and love to farm and bicycle during my off time. I’ve done house sitting and dog sitting previously and enjoyed the work. I have my own vehicle and am used to commuting around the Hudson Valley for work and for fun. I wanted to get back into dog sitting and pet sitting to assist in getting a new car and to get to spend time with pets! I have always been obsessed with dogs! I show that through meeting as many as I can when out in the community :). I am active person, so long walks and playing is something I can provide. I am open to any requests you might have and am great at keeping in touch with pet parents. I can always be available through text, call, or email. I’m so excited to meet you and your lovely pets!! I have a full time job, so weekends are my only availability. However, I am open to discuss any special circumstances! I might potentially be more available on a long weekend, when I am off from my school based job. I would want to care for your pets as you would or how you would want. I am great with a schedule and specific requests.

“Sofia was great! We felt really happy with her care for our dog Tanda. We requested very last minute and she was so quick to respond and help us out. Would recommend!”

“Nicole is kind, responsive and attentive. She did a great job staying at my house with my dogs while I was traveling. Nicole sent me photos and updates, including playing ball with my high energy bernadoodle! The house was clean when I returned which I really appreciate. I will definitely book Nicole again!”

“We booked Taylor at the last minute when another dog sitter had an emergency—and she is a rock star! She understands animals and works hard to make sure she is accommodating their needs. So glad we found her!!”

“We had such a wonderful experience with Katherine caring for our two cats. From the very beginning, she was incredibly communicative, thoughtful, and reliable. She kept us updated consistently with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It’s clear she’s both experienced and genuinely caring - our cats felt comfortable with her right away. She was attentive to their routines and gave them lots of playtime and love. We came home to two very happy, relaxed cats and a house that was just as we left it. We felt confident the entire time that they were in safe, capable hands. We wouldn’t hesitate to book her again and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a great sitter!”

“Sophie took wonderful care of our two kittens while we were away on a long trip. Since it was our first time using a sitter, we were pretty nervous but she was very communicative and attentive which gave us so much peace of mind. We could tell that she was going above and beyond to make sure they had lots of love and attention. When we came home, it was clear they had been well cared for—happy, healthy, and content. We’re so grateful and would love for Sophie to watch our girls again sometime.”

“Jessica is very nice and responsible. She took great care of our home and beloved goldendoodle, Olive. I highly recommend her.”

“Arsen and Sophia did a great job. They communicated well, sent funny pics and we returned to a calm dog who clearly liked them and was sad to see them leave. House was clean. Would hire them again anytime.”

“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!”

“Kerin provided professional, fantastic care for our two dogs and our home on a short trip. She communicated quickly and sent photos and videos. Our pets had a great time, and were very well taken care of. You can tell she loves animals and has lots of experience and confidence to provide the best care. Kerin is fantastic. Five stars!”

“Cassie is wonderful! She was incredibly responsive and communicative while sitting my dog. I loved how she sent me multiple photos as requested and felt like my dog was in great hands.”

Regina A.

“Alyssa is great! My pets and home were well cared for. My dog gets pretty anxious when I go out of town but he seemed very calm and relaxed when I came back. He seemed like he had a great time with Alyssa!”

“Christine is a down-to-earth person who is easy to talk with and pays attention to important details. At our meet & greet, she asked good questions that reflected her experience and commitment to making both pets and their owners feel comfortable with her. My young adult cat Suki had never been left alone with someone she didn’t already know. In my absence, however, Christine eased her way into Suki’s territory by setting the right balance between showing her some quiet attention and giving her the time and space she needed to adjust and come out of her shell. The photos Christine sent me proved that once she had won Suki over, the little kitty was her sweet, affectionate self and the two of them had a delightful time together! I will be asking Christine to Suki-sit in my house again!”

About: I’ve had dogs since the moment I was born! I used to go to the dog park by myself. I’m more than happy to help take care of your pets. I will graduate college in May and decided to spend the summer in New York with my mom before persuing my masters. I am available all day every day for the summer! I will take care of your pets how I want mine to be taken care of. I will spend time with them, play with them, and obviously feed and walk them. My home has a very nice big back yard and places to walk nearby but we have a cat named Ernie who can be pretty protective and may not like any extra furry friends.
