Top rated Irvington house sitters
“Bree was amazing with Ludo and Bowie! Super communicative and sent lots of pictures while we were away for a long weekend. Left the house spotless and even ran the laundry. The pups obviously enjoyed their time and perked up when I mentioned Bree's name. Thank you! Will absolutely book again.”
“Left our three musketeer pups for the weekend, 2 of which are senior and one that requires a bit of extra assistance. We got the cutest and most detailed updates of our pups, and could tell how well taken care of they were while we were gone. Can’t wait to have Stephanie watch and walk our fur babies again next time!”
“Veronica was absolutely wonderful with my babies! She went above and beyond, from picking up new toys and treats for the girls, to taking them on adventures, and doing everything she could to make them comfortable and happy. I received a ton of pics and videos and it was easy to tell how happy my Lily and Bella were with Veronica's care. I highly recommend Veronica for your pet sitting needs.”
“Anya and El are so very kind and caring. They took excellent care of house sitting and caring for our puppy. They followed our directions and went beyond to enrich our puppy’s world, taking her to dog parks, on hikes, to Petco and lots of walks. They consulted and were generous with their time. They even bought treats and a recommended collar. We highly recommend them!”
“Jon was great. I had to schedule last minute and he took great care of my dog. Sent photos making me feel comfortable while I was away. I’ll definitely work with him again.”
“Marlita is amazing! She’s so good with the pets and loves them like they’re her own! She’s excellent at sending photos and updates and is great with communication. We will definitely book her again when we need a sitter in the future.”
“Jade took excellent care of Zeus while I was away. He’s very timid but took to her immediately; you can tell she’s very good with animals. She was also very responsive and sent plenty of pics to keep my mind at ease while I was away. Highly recommend.”
“Katrina is a true animal lover who was great with my hyper 45-lb hound mix Sage. She's been on a couple of walks and one overnight housesit. I trust her to keep Sage (an unpredictable bolter when spotting squirrels) safe on the leash and reliabily show up for each walk, even accommodating last minute schedule changes. Katrina took good care of my house while we were gone and even picked up some bone shards that could have been a choking hazard. To top it all off, I got a selfie of Katrina & Sage snuggling in bed. Sage will be looking forward to her new caretaker's return soon.”
About: I was a soldier in my country, I took my dog training course and worked with many breeds. I really like sharing my time with pets and I will take care of them as if they were my own. I work part-time and I want to share my free time with pets and take care of them as if they were my own and pamper them so that they feel good with me until they return home. I have an empty backyard which I could use for the care and much more of your pets with the greatest security and more confidence
“Natasha was great with our Husky! She always replied in a timely manner and our pup seemed to really like her. The amount of pictures and updates that she shared with us was perfect. Definitely recommend!”
About: I have been taking care of pets my entire life including dogs, cats, guinea pigs, fish, bunnies, amphibians, horses and other small animals (however I am happy to learn how to take care of new species as well). I have been volunteering at various animal shelters and rescues for 5 years and also have experience in a veterinary medicine setting. I am a pre-vet student and love animals more than anything! I am currently working part time, so I have lots of free time to care for your pets. I am available on weekdays and weekends and am generally very flexible. I have lots of experience with animals and the most important thing to me is making sure they are safe and comfortable. I will do my upmost to make sure your pets are happy and well cared for.
“Leaving your puppies is so hard and after a year of not traveling leaving them for the first time in what seems like forever was really tough. After the first update from Milena though all my fears went away. I could see from the picture how comfortable my pups were with her. She took such amazing care of them and I felt so grateful knowing they were in such good hands. Thank you so much for making my mind at ease knowing my dogs were safe and happy while in you’re care!”
“Emily was fantastic with our puppy. She sent pictures and updated us on how the day was going. Our dog was immediately comfortable with her and they had a great day together!”
About: What sets me apart is my ability to be both caring and dependable in moments that require real attentiveness—something I’ve developed through years of working in community programs, internships, and leadership roles. Whether I was leading a team project, supporting a friend, or organizing events through my cycling club, I’ve always been someone who shows up fully and handles responsibility with care. I bring that same energy to pet care—tuning into each animal’s needs, whether it’s keeping up with an energetic puppy or being patient with a senior pet. I’m calm, communicative, and take pride in making both pets and their owners feel secure and understood. As a recent grad preparing for law school and transitioning into the workforce, my schedule is relatively flexible—especially during the weekdays. Pet care has been a grounding and fulfilling part of my routine. It gives me the chance to stay active, present, and connected in a meaningful way while balancing studying and professional goals. I genuinely enjoy the rhythm of it, and I treat every booking with the same level of care and responsibility I bring to my academic and work commitments. Whether I’m in my home or yours, I treat every pet like they’re my own. I love making sure everyone—pets and people—feels comfortable, safe, and at ease. That’s something I’ve really practiced through leading Catching Wind, the cycling and wellness club I started in college. Creating a space where people felt welcomed, supported, and looked after—whether they were riding for the first time or just needed community—taught me a lot about patience, attentiveness, and how to care for different needs. I bring that same approach to pet care. I listen closely, follow instructions, respect your space, and aim to create an environment where your pet feels loved, relaxed, and understood.
About: I’ve been crazy about pets my whole life—raised with two dogs who taught me love and duty, now sharing my days with a feisty cat and keeping up with my family’s three silly pups. I’m here to pamper your furry friends: epic walks in the reserve park, tons of playtime, big cuddles, or just kicking back together. Cats? I’m their brushing and snuggle champ. Baths or meds? Show me how, and I’m all over it. I get a kick out of every pet’s little quirks! Note: my cat’s a lone wolf, so I can’t host at home. Drop me a line to chat about your pet—I’m pumped to give them the fun and care they’ll totally adore! With a super flexible schedule, I’m here to care for your pet like it’s my own! Available all day Mondays and Fridays, and Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays after 3 PM, I handle feeding, grooming, and awesome long walks in the reserve park. Need something extra, like giving medication or providing more attention during stressful times? I’ve got it covered. Weekends available upon request. I live for animals and their happiness, with a sharp eye for what they’re feeling. I pick up on stress signals and tweak my care to fit them perfectly, creating a peaceful vibe where they can just be themselves. Whether it’s a burst of play to lift their spirits or a quiet moment to ease their mind, I tune into their world and make it better.
“Naeemah was a wonderful sitter for our 13 year old deaf dog, and our 5 year old cat. She took care of our furbabies and our home with great care. Would definitely recommend!”
About: With over two years of pet care experience, I genuinely love dogs and treat every pet like family. I pay close attention to little details, like their favorite toys, preferred walking spots, treat times, and how they like to be greeted. Whether it’s belly rubs or playtime, your pet’s comfort and happiness always come first Currently, I’m getting online early morning training in my new skills, which gives me a very flexible schedule. This allows me to dedicate plenty of time, attention, and care to your pet. Whether it’s morning walks, midday visits, or evening playtime, I can easily adjust to your pet’s routine I always prioritize safety, comfort, and trust when caring for pets, whether in my home or a client’s. I follow their routines, respect house rules, and pay attention to small details like locked gates and secure leashes. I create a calm, loving environment where pets feel safe and happy
About: I’ve cared for family pets, and I live with two cats. I’m loving, responsible, and treat every animal with patience, kindness, and genuine daily attention. I work full-time, but every morning I clean litter, refill food, and every evening I ensure fresh water, affection, and quality time with my cats. I visit clients’ homes to feed cats and dogs, clean litter boxes, provide fresh water, play, give affection, and ensure pets feel safe and loved.

Travian M.
“As Trey’s mother, I’ve had the joy of watching him grow into a deeply capable, hardworking, and compassionate young man. He’s always had a big heart, but what’s been most beautiful to see is how that heart shows up in real, tangible ways—in his patience, his ability to listen, and his sense of responsibility. He understands when a moment calls for care, attentiveness, or gentleness, and he never takes that lightly. Whether it’s supporting a friend, caring for a pet, or tackling a task, Trey shows up fully. Any pet would be in the best hands with him—not just because he’s responsible, but because he truly cares.”

Caroline G.
“Caroline is my friend and neighbour when he was living in kenya. Her passion for pets is what set us apart, when she got married, she chose pet(dog) as her first priority while I chose to have a child. Her obsession with pets and treating them with compassion makes her a good candidate to take care of dogs. To her they are not animals but souls in four legs. There will be no better person to do this Job as her.”
SOFIA K R.
“Sofia is amazing with pets! She’s super loving, responsible, and always makes sure they’re happy and cared for. I completely trust her with my furry friends”

Samiyah did a great job watching my dogs, Debo and Sadie, while I was out of town from Thursday to Wednesday. She was reliable, respectful of my home, and kept me updated with messages and photos throughout the stay, which I really appreciated. She followed all instructions as requested and made sure both dogs were well cared for during my time away. I came home to everything in order and two well-looked-after dogs. Her professionalism and communication made the entire process smooth. I would definitely book Samiyah again and recommend her to anyone in need of a dependable and trustworthy sitter.
Bree was amazing with Ludo and Bowie! Super communicative and sent lots of pictures while we were away for a long weekend. Left the house spotless and even ran the laundry. The pups obviously enjoyed their time and perked up when I mentioned Bree's name. Thank you! Will absolutely book again.
Jestine was on time, friendly, personable, paid attention, asked great questions, and was generally a joy to work with. Our 70lb. Rottsky has Separation Anxiety and can be a handful, but Jestine was awesome with him. We hired her to house sit the dog, but she also calmed our anxieties about leaving him alone! It's always a bit odd to have a relative stranger in your home, but after just a few minutes chatting, our fears melted away. We look forward to welcoming her back again!
We haven't used a sitter for our dog in years so we were anxious to leave her for our trip, but after the first day we felt so reassured and didn't worry at all for the rest of our trip. Anya did a great job, communicated often, and our cat and dog felt really comfortable with her.
Keith was wonderful at accommodating our last minute weekend house sitting request. It was our first time being away from our pup after only 3 weeks of ownership. We explained the situation to Keith, and he came over for a meet and greet. Our dog took to him right away and put our mind at ease. Keith is personable, respectful and a clear dog lover. We look forward to booking with him again.
