House Sitting Kipps

“Fantastic! We have two senior dogs (14 and 13) with special needs. One of them can't use his back legs, has bathroom accidents and is deaf. The other is losing his vision, has some leg weakness and is high anxiety. She visited beforehand and asked great questions. We were away for a week. Both dogs were comfortable and happy with Vicki. She was communicative and sent pictures with updates. We returned home to peaceful pets and the house as clean as when we left. I think the doggies were looking for Vicki when we got home. :) It was a blessing to be able to know they were in good hands while we were away for camping time as a family.”

“Amber did a great job petsitting for our 2 dogs and 2 cats! She took care of all their needs and they were so happy to spend time with her.”

“Yeni was amazing with my dog. She was able to meet and watch him under short notice, was very professional and friendly. She followed his daily routine perfectly and sent me pics and updates during her time with him. I would totally recommend her!”

“Robbie was nothing short of heaven sent! When we had to make last minute changes for our dogs’s care Robbie took the time to come over, get acclimated with our two large dogs and learn their routine to keep them comfortable as it was their first time with care from a sitter. When our flight was canceled due to a snow storm, she continued to show up for them and even took them out to play in the snow and sent us pics to keep our minds at ease. She was caring, respectful to our home and really went above and beyond in so many ways. You can tell she’s a real animal lover and we are so grateful she cared for our pups!”

“Sahari made us feel so comfortable in leaving our two dogs and home in her care. She was extremely thorough in asking questions about them and their different and specific needs. Our sheepdog is often very wary with new people and he took to Sahari right away. She handled the high energy and special medical needs of our other dog with compassion, kind boundaries and competent care. She went the extra mile in applying eye medications for our dog several times a day, keeping our home clean and gave us updates throughout her stay. We highly recommend her!”

About: I currently cat and dog sit regularly for my parents and for my girlfriends pets when they are away. I have experience dog sitting multiple dogs and love being active with all animals. I am currently on summer break until classes start, once they do schedule may change. Currently I have very open availability, typically get my day started at 9:30am and love being active throughout the day. Pet friendly apartment and neighborhood. I will follow all safety precautions and instructions given. I have a walking path around my apartment. There is a lot of space for pets to roam around.

“Nicole was very diligent in following the care instructions I left and went above and beyond when the unexpected came up. I was updated every day. She left the house in great shape when her stay was over. She has become my go-to pet sitter.”

“Kristina is absolutely wonderful. We booked her kind of last minute as our previous sitter fell through. She was accommodating and made our anxious dog comfortable while she stayed in our home with him. I highly recommend Kristina & will absolutely book her again in the future if she is available.”

About: I've been caring for dogs since middle school, including over 12 years of hands-on experience caring for my own dog, Aubrey. I've also had family, friends, and neighbors rely on me to walk, feed, groom, and care for their pets. Over the years, I've gained experience with dogs of many sizes, breeds, and personalities, including Golden Retrievers, mixed breeds, Yorkshire Terriers, hounds, Chihuahuas, and Corgis. I especially enjoy caring for senior pets and making sure they receive the patience, attention, and affection they deserve. I like spending quality time with them, grooming them, observing their behavior and how they're doing, and making sure they're comfortable and cared for. I've also expanded my experience through volunteer work with Rockland Orange Furrever Homes and the Hudson Valley SPCA, where I've worked with shelter animals and gained additional experience observing animal behavior and providing hands-on care. Whether your pet needs a good walk, a meal, some grooming, companionship, or simply someone who will give them plenty of love and attention, I want them to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away. I currently have a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I enjoy making time for walks, play, grooming, companionship, and simply getting to know each pet's personality and routine. I'm able to be flexible with my availability and want every pet in my care to feel comfortable, safe, and loved. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping them safe, comfortable, and following their normal routine as closely as possible. I make sure doors, gates, and other exits are secure, provide fresh water and meals according to the owner's instructions, and give pets plenty of attention and exercise. I also pay close attention to their behavior and overall condition so I can recognize anything unusual and communicate concerns to their owner. During walks, I use safe handling practices and stay aware of the pet's surroundings, other animals, and potential hazards. I want every pet to feel comfortable and cared for while their owner is away.

About: I have experience with being around animals since I’ve been 5 years old. I have two dogs of my own and three cats as well. I will make sure the animals are comfortable, loved and taken care of properly. I am patient, caring, and have high energy. I am big on play time and walks and making sure they get their exercise for the day. I have walked dogs before and also provided in house care for several of my neighbors and close family friends. I really do enjoy being around animals and find it very relaxing. I’m a college student and can be very stressed at times so getting to play with an animal really is something I look forward to. Thank you (: On a daily basis I am always making sure my animals are fed, getting play time in, cuddles and more! They are so important to me! Making sure my pets always have water and their litter box is clean on a daily basis. I always ensure they get little extra treats throughout the day as well as cuddles!

“Jill is fantastic! This was our second time having her watch our pups while we were away. She took great care of them and our doggos love her. She sent lots of pictures, which we love seeing.”

“Thank you, Teadie, for taking such good care of our Imo. Your photos and frequent updates enabled us to really enjoy our vacation. Imo was very content upon our return and, we’re sure, would enjoy your sitting for him again!!! And thank you for taking care of the linen and towels…you didn’t need to do that, but it was very much appreciated!”

About: I've grown up taking care of both cats and dogs. I love animals and look forward to helping you care your your precious pets. In the past I have worked as a pet and house sitter for a couple families. I always enjoy any time spent with animals. I have flexible schedule making me available to care for your fur babies! I live in Guerneville, but frequently go to Sebastopol throughout the week. So mainly looking to work for ones in these areas. But open to adventuring in to further surrounding areas if its a good fit for us both! Currently I am not able to board pets in my home because I am renting. But I would be happy to stop by and spend time with your pets whenever is needed!

“Kalyna is the best!! She really helped us with some last minute care changes and was sure to send lots of pictures. I can tell my dog loves her!”

About: Hi I’m Mallory! I genuinely love caring snd spending time with animals and I get paid too? AMAZING!! Sign me up!! :) This is my full-time job and it has been for years. My availability is completely open. I am available for you anytime any day. I can accept last minute bookings, late night bookings , whatever you need!! I’m also offering boarding. One on one cozy boarding, I only accept one pet at a time so no need to stress over how your dog may do with other people’s pets. Your pet gets 100% of my focus and all the love! I have no dogs but I do have cats they’re great with dogs but I can separate your pet from them if you’d prefer. I am energetic and fun but also patient and responsible I have owned and cared for dogs & cats my entire life. I’ve always considered myself a dog person until I got my own cat & fell in love. I love all animals, not only pets but also wildlife, I once had a pet Raccoon named Patches, don’t worry he stayed outside. He was still my buddy. I feel love and compassion for every single animal. I believe there is no such thing as a bad animal. Being an animal lover is a huge part of my identity. I have volunteered at shelters on and off for 10+ years. Through my experience volunteering, I have also received dog training by a professional dog trainer. Rescuing stray cats from the streets and finding them loving homes is also a passion of mine! To this date I am very proud to say I have helped so many stray cats and kittens find their forever home! I have fed, walked and cared for every size & every breed of dog/cat you can think of, no matter how sweet or how difficult, I truly believe I have never met a “bad” one. Growing up my family and I apopted many senior dogs that we loved until they’re last days. Through adopting and caring for senior dogs/cats I have gained experience in administering medicines, changing diapers and recognizing & providing specialty care catered toward each individual dog. I walk around with my purse filled with cat treats and food to feed the strays around my neighborhood:) They say dogs/cats are amazing judges of character so why not set up a meet and greet with me & let your pet decide :) I am so fortunate to be able to do Dog walking/sitting as my full time job, I have my regular customers that I walk/drop in on through out the day, However I am always accepting new clients! My availability is very open, any day , any time, as early or as late as you need. I am able to arrange my other jobs in a way that I can always fit you in! If my availability says open than the appointment is all yours! I am also able to take appointments at the very last moment most of the time so for all you last minute planners please do message me! I live in Goshen, NY so my arrival time would be based on how far your home is located from this point.! Meet & greets are always free. Making sure you are comfortable is my #1 priority. If you are leaving your dog in my care , I want you to feel at ease and totally comfortable. I know how nerve wracking it can be to leave your pet alone with a stranger so anything I can do to ease your mind and make you feel more comfortable, I will happily do! :) I am currently not providing services out of my home but I do provide house sitting services in your home. House sitting in your pets environment is a great alternative to boarding. Pets are way more comfortable in their home & receive so much more one on one time and attention.

“Erica came through in a pinch and provided outstanding service for our pets when we were in need. She is very friendly, understanding and flexible with her schedule and both of our pets felt at ease with her. During her stay she was excellent with communication and provided photos and texts that assured us that everything was going great!”

“My two Jack Russell’s had a great time with Shannon while she did a 5 day house sit with them. Shannon regularly kept us up to date on their wellbeing with pictures and texts. She also was able to help us out for an extra day when our flight was delayed returning home and ensured the dogs were still taken care of while we were delayed getting home. The house looked great when we got back and we had two happy pups. Thanks again Shannon!”

Stephanie O.

“Tessa took care of two cats and two dogs. One of the cats required a pill every day and one of the dogs needed pills as well. One of the dogs was a senior and needed help with stairs. Tessa did a fantastic job with all of it. I have no fence so she had the added job of leashing and walking the dogs numerous times a day. I would not hesitate to employ and recommend her.”

Amy G.

“Alicia took care of my dogs for 10 days. She did a great job! They returned home super happy!”

About: I usually work with shy, aggressive or fearful dogs or cats. It can take weeks, months or years to befriend them but when you do it's extremely rewarding, especially when an animal someone deems "dangerous" comes out to be the biggest sweetheart. I have tons of patience and I believe every species of animal deserves love and respect. As humans, it's our duty to be the voices and guardians of the animals in our care. They look to us for comfort, guidance, love and peace. That's why I do anything in my power to donate or volunteer at animal shelters because every animal should know that there's humans out there that actually care about their well being. Working with animals is a great career for me. Update; 8/2020 I’ve been volunteering and working with pets as a professional pet care provider for five years now. Through my journey I’ve learned pet CPR and gained dog training knowledge through Poochpals llc as well as worked as a dog handler at walterspetstyles. I’m currently working on becoming a certified dog trainer and furthering my knowledge on Pet care. At Poochpals we believe in being a friend for life so I’m definitely bringing our motto into the field and looking to become a furever friend for your pets. If you’re ever in need of an actual PROFESSIONAL pet care provider, look no further! I also have basic training knowledge so don’t be surprised if your pup or cat comes back knowing a few new tricks 😂 I have open availability Monday-Sunday. I look forward to meeting you and your pups! My dog, Odin, loves to make new friends of all species. Updates:4/7/2026 Hello friends! I would not be at 29 Hanford anymore due to instability, so I’m moving my business down to NYC before heading to PA. We have multiple fences in house and around the property. Pups are also supervised 24/7 and we have a designated dog room just for them. Back porch is also secured with gates. Dogs aren’t allowed on the lawn without human supervision and a 20ft leash. Lawn is fenced. We have strict safety procedures when it comes down to pets and children.
