House Sitting in Hyde Park

“Erin house-sat for us when we needed a cat sitter for four days on short notice. She was amazing! Her connection to the kitties and thoughtful, conscientious approach to the care of our beloved companions set my mind at ease. It was clear from our first conversation that she was trustworthy and dependable, which was reassuring since we've never had a house-sitter. We have a senior cat who requires twice-daily medication and Erin handled all his special needs. She communicated clearly, left the house in excellent condition, and is also just a wonderful person all around!”

“We are grateful to Breanna for taking such good care of Skipper, and for communicating so well with us. It was great to have him in such good hands! And thanks for sending the photos! Much appreciated.”

“Riss was fantastic! I came home to my staff/pit mix being very relaxed and comfortable. It seems like he had a nice time with riss. She was very communicative and shared updates and photos. I highly recommend! Also, the house was spotless, that’s very much appreciated”

“We couldn’t be more thrilled with the care our dog Tazo received from Amruta. From the moment she arrived, it was clear that she had an amazing connection with Tazo. She was so attentive, playful, and loving towards him, making sure he feeling loved. We loved getting regular updates and pictures of Tazo, which gave us peace of mind throughout the day alleviating our own anxiety. One of the best moments was when we saw Tazo follow her out to her car, clearly wanting to go with her! It’s not every day that your dog forms such a strong bond with their sitter, and we’re so grateful for the time and care she gave him. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and loving for their pets!”

“Emily watched our dog Mouse for 16 days while we were halfway around the world. This was the longest we had ever been away from him and the farthest. We were a little nervous going into it but Emily made us feel so at ease. She sent updates every day usually multiple times a day. She would also tailor the timing of her updates to the timezone we were in which was much appreciated as well. We could tell Mouse was well taken care of and that she gave him a lot of love. We can’t wait to work with her again!”

About: I specialize in attentive, stress-free cat care, with a deep understanding of feline behavior and needs. I’ve also cared for dogs and know how to ensure they feel safe, seen, and comfortable. My calm presence and attention to detail set me apart when it comes to compassionate, reliable pet care. My schedule allows for catering to all of a pet's needs: feeding, grooming, walking, playing and enrichment, medication administration, etc. I can also do multiple drop-ins per day/extended drop-ins for pets that need company throughout the day. I live in an apartment complex, so I would not be able to host your pet in my home, but I have reliable transport at and would love to come to you!

“We are new to the area and hired Monica to house sit and watch our dog Penny. She offered to come meet us in person before booking, which was so generous. Monica was responsive, kind, and left us with so much confidence leaving her with our dog and home. She was flexible with arrival and departure time, sent us updates and photos, and we will continue to hire Monica again and again- what a gem!!!”

“Laianna was a wonderful sitter! She gave tons of updates, was attentive to any unique requests, and left my home and my pup in perfect condition when I returned. Such a gift to have peace of mind that your dog is in good hands - thanks!”

“Shana was our first experience with Rover and it was great place to start. Shana communicated well leading up to the stay and even visited twice to get the lay of the land. During the stay, Shana haves updates, sent pics, and asked questions when necessary. When our usual sitter took over the second portion of our trip, they reported that the house was in good order. Thanks!!”

“Katherine was a lifesaver for our family. We had a last-minute trip and she did a wonderful job taking care of our 3 dogs, one of which tends to be a little skittish and shy. We received lots of photos and updates and she was respectful of the space. Highly recommend.”

Stephanie E.

“Stefanie is wonderful. She's a smart, reliable, respectful, and easygoing person. She is trustworthy, gentle and loving with our slightly skittish cats, and made real friends with them. Stefanie was so accommodating, sent us lots of updates and photos and truly set our minds at ease. We will ask her to kitty sit again without hesitation! If you want to relax on your getaway, hire her!!! She's a true gem!!”

About: As a dedicated professional with two years of experience in animal care, I am proficient in providing comprehensive pet-sitting services. My expertise encompasses both in-home and farm animal care, including overnight stays, walks, and specialized attention to individual needs. I am adept at managing medications and addressing any special requirements your pets may have. My schedule is flexible, accommodating after-work hours and weekend availability. Communication is preferred via text or email, but I am also available for calls to provide updates or address immediate needs. I am able to travel up to 20 miles. To ensure the highest standard of care, please provide detailed information regarding your pets' specific needs, including medication schedules and any special requirements. I am committed to delivering exceptional service and ensuring the well-being of your animals. I'm currently working full time so I have a lot of time to be with your pets at my house. I'm pretty flexible with my schedule and give your pets attention and time I have a porch, but unfortunately, there is no fenced yard. I am quite relaxed about it. They have ample space to move around indoors.

About: I am an Artist who works from home a lot and would love some extra furry companionship :) I understand that being in a new place with new people can feel stressful for the first time. We can go on long walks together at least twice a day and then they can sleep where ever they are most comfortable. I have a flexible schedule most days, so I can work around any animal care that may be needed. I love having furry companions around. We will play fetch, drink lots of water, go for walks and probably just hangout and read together. Right now I am working freelance so I can arrange my schedule as needed to make animal accomodations. I love to start my day with animal smiles. First I like to survey the areas of the home to make sure there isn't anything dangerous that has been mistakenly left out that might cause harm. And then we can establish a place for the pet items so they can start to feel more comfortable in a new environment. I also make sure the water bowl is always filled.

“We are a third time client (for a long overseas vacation) and are very happy with Aliza’s care. We highly recommend and will be booking again the future!”

About: I’ve always loved being around dogs and have experience walking and caring for a variety of breeds and personalities. I’m reliable, patient, and make sure every dog feels safe, loved, and gets the exercise they need. Whether it’s a fun walk, playtime, or just some extra attention, I treat every pup like they’re my own. I’m also great at following instructions to make sure your dog’s routine stays consistent and stress-free. I work a hybrid role in the tech industry based in the Mid-Hudson Valley, with standard hours from 9 AM to 5 PM, Monday through Friday. I'm in the office on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, but outside of those times, I offer flexible availability. I kindly ask for at least 72 hours' notice to ensure I can plan and provide the best possible care. I take pet safety and comfort very seriously when caring for them in their own space. I follow all client instructions closely and make sure pets feel secure and relaxed in their familiar environment. I always double-check that doors and gates are secure, keep a close eye during walks, and never leave pets unattended. Building trust—with both you and your dog—is my top priority, and I aim to create a calm, caring experience every visit.

“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: My family always had many pets in the house. From a very early age I learned how to be nurturing, caring, and dependable. I work in the human services field aspiring to be a clinical social worker. My full-time job is in children services including respite care and comprehensive case management experience. I consider myself a deeply caring individual that animals seem safe and calm to be around. Any and all ages of dogs and cats are welcome -- I will do everything I can to ensure your favorite companion is well taken care of! I think to start I would like to do weekends. I generally work 9-5pm so I can be flexible in the evenings as well. I'm open. I put the animal first, gauge their comfortability, and remain highly perceptive to behavior and environment. I have experience managing big dogs and puppies (100+) on leads, in highly populated areas (Downtown Brooklyn), and feel confident in my care-taking abilities. In the past I have babysat and nannied children. In my current role I often have home visits with my families (many of which have various species of pets).

“I couldn’t be happier with the service Dan provided. He’s easy to work with, flexible & easy going. Both Birdie & I felt completely comfortable with Dan immediately. He’s personable & clearly cares about the animals in his care.”
