House Sitting in Hyde Park

“Dan was great! He stayed with our dog for 5 days while we were away for the holidays, and took great care of our pup. He was extremely prompt and reliable with communication, which I appreciated—both in our initial conversations about booking and then sending daily photos/updates while we were gone. We would definitely book with Dan again!”

“Melanie is an absolute ace. She stayed with my dog Baxter and my cat Stella for five days while I was away, and I could not have asked for better care. It was obvious from the moment I got home that my animals were loved, engaged, and truly cared for, not just “watched.” Baxter was excited to see me for about five minutes… and then ran to the window looking for Melanie. He even ran straight to my truck outside, which he has never cared about, clearly expecting her to step out. That says everything. Melanie spent real time with them, kept my home clean and tidy, and even washed all of the containers I use for homemade dog and cat food, which was completely above and beyond. I came home to calm, happy animals and a house that felt respected and cared for. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and genuinely invested in your pets’ well-being, stop scrolling and book Melanie. I would hire her again in a heartbeat and feel lucky to have found her.”

“Abby was lovely and took amazing care of our pets. She had great communication and was incredibly easy to work with. We will be using her again.”

“Angie was all we could hope for in a sitter for our new rescue pup. Our dog immediately warmed up to her calm and gentle nature, and she had everything under control, in addition to endless snuggles for our pup while we were away. There was full peace of mind that our fur child was in great hands! Would call her again in a heartbeat, esp since our dog clearly didn’t want her to leave after we came home! Haha”

About: I’ve had animals since I was a child. A horse when I was 10 dogs, cats and still have dogs, cats and a horse in my life as of now have no problems with ministering medication to any animal. I am retired. Looking for a hobby that I love. I am available all times of the day seven days a week. It may be so. I have five small dogs of my own with a backyard fenced in and a doggie door for them to go in and out as they please.

“Iliana stayed with my dog at my house for one night. She was very sweet and caring with my pup. I returned to an impeccable house and a happy dog. I will definitely book Iliana again when the occasion arrives.”

“Rachel was wonderful with our two pups! We really enjoyed working with her and meeting her own fur baby, Marty. Thanks for everything, Rachel!”

Amanda B.

“We had a wonderful experience with our pet sitter Margaret! She took excellent care of my dog, Otto, and made sure he was happy, comfortable, and well-loved while I was traveling. I really appreciated the regular updates with pictures and great communication—it gave me so much peace of mind. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable, responsible, kind and caring pet sitter!”

“Elizabeth was incredible, and we feel so lucky to have found her. This was not the easiest sit—our senior dog and younger cat require careful management and don’t always get along—but Elizabeth handled everything with so much patience, attentiveness, and care. It gave us real peace of mind knowing she was so capable and calm in navigating their dynamics. She kept us updated with the sweetest photos and little notes throughout our trip, which made being away so much easier (and honestly, we looked forward to her updates every day). Communication was always quick, clear, and thoughtful—she was super responsive and proactive if anything came up. On top of that, she treated our home with total respect and left everything in great shape. You can tell she genuinely cares—not just about doing a good job, but about the animals themselves. We would 100% have Elizabeth back and recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and truly exceptional sitter.”

“Colleen is a gem. A total pro- lovely, easy going, compassionate, professional, and she clearly bonded with my kitty after just one visit. She’s a pleasure and we will most definitely entrust our cat, and our home, with her in the future!”

Lauren T.

“Nicole has been absolutely amazing during our two week international trip! We were able to fully enjoy ourselves knowing that our baby was well taken care of, happy, and safe! Nicole has sent us so many pictures and given great updates!”

“We are so grateful to have found Aliza! She stayed at our home with our two pups while we were out of town for a family event. This was the first time our pack of four had been separated since Covid, also our first time using Rover, so I wasn't sure what to expect or how it would go. Plus, it was the Fourth of July weekend and one of our pups is not good with fireworks or thunderstorms. But Aliza rose to the occasion! She swaddled and comforted little Leah during the fireworks with her best Mom skills. She sent plenty of pics so that I was able to feel completely at ease while we were away. Good communications via text. We found Aliza to be reliable and flexible, mature, trustworthy and responsible. The house was left for us in the same condition as she found it. The most important part was that the pups were happy and fine when we returned home. Wagging tails all around! Would definitely recommend and we will definitely rebook with Aliza in the future.”

“Will definitely have Cassandra house sit for our pets again when we go out of town. She was prompt, communicative, and so sweet with our little ones.”

“Patricia was amazing. Our newly adopted doghas separation anxiety and continued to give her a run for her money the whole first part of the second day. She was patient with Lucy and in the end we were so happy to be able to complete our vacation without worries. We will definitely have her back”

“This was our first time using Rover and we were definitely a bit nervous about it. It is difficult in this day and age to trust someone to stay in your home and care for your pets. We were away for a two week vacation and were in need of someone to watch our dogs during the week and stay overnight in our home. Lori came through for us in doing just that. We met her first for a meet and greet. After several messages back and forth, she reassured me that our dogs would be well cared for and they were. She is a true animal lover. Our dogs were safe in their home thanks to Lori and did not have to be stressed out in a kennel that was unfamiliar to them. I would highly recommend Lori for taking care of your pets.”

About: I grew up with dogs, have one now, and am all around a big animal lover. I’m available to care for pets of any age - just let me know what you need! I work remotely from home full time for a tech company and have a lot of flexibility in making my own schedule so I can fit pet care in pretty much whenever needed. I live with one cat and one small dog. I have a fenced in back patio for outside time and access to an expansive green space behind the house for walks and leashed outside time. For drop in visits, just let me know what you need and I’m happy to help!

“Lily has taken great care of my dog and is very communicative. She even stayed with my pup when my heat and hot water unexpectedly went out while she was there. Super thankful for her love and care for my bebe!”

Jennifer K.

“Nathan did a wonderful job looking after our three eccentric cats. We have one cat who needs meds twice a day and he had no problem dosing him. Even the shy cat came out for him! We came home to calm, happy cats! Thank you Nate!”

About: Hi. My name is Kiki and I love dogs!! I have years of hands-on experience working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I was a manager at a cage-free dog daycare for 5 years, where I handled everything from group play supervision to administering medications and managing daily care routines. I also volunteered for 3 years at Second Chance Dog Rescue, helping with socialization, walking, and basic training. In addition, I’ve provided trusted pet sitting services in Peekskill, NY for 5 years until the family relocated. I’m trained in pet CPR, comfortable administering all types of medications, and have a dog of my own—so I truly understand how important it is to find someone reliable and compassionate to care for your pets. I have a car, am highly dependable, and treat every animal as if they were my own. Although I work full-time and attend school, I have large daily time blocks available between commitments, which I dedicate to pet sitting, walking, and drop-in visits I care for every pet like my own, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while following their regular routine, my skills are administering medications, and giving personalized attention. Every pet has a specific personality so I try to respect that much like people.

“Kristen is a very friendly, very personable and professional person. She is outgoing and warm hearted and has a natural rapport with animals. She spent 12 days out our house sitting our dog and two cats. She rearranged her schedule to devote as much time as possible with our pets. We received pictures of very contented animals, even the cats who are reclusive liked hanging out with her. We returned to very happy pets. She is on the top of our list for any future plans.”
