House Sitting in La Grange

“Thomas was terrible! JUST KIDDING! I just want to keep him only for when I need him!😁 I couldn’t ask for anything more. He initially responded quickly. Showed up when we planned. He kept in touch with me. Sent pictures of my dogs when he was with them and left my house tidy. TJ, thank you again!”

“Stefanie was amazing to work with! She is great at communicating about how your pets are doing and sends lots of photo updates that will help put your mind at ease while you're away from your pets. A few random issues cropped up with our pets while Stefanie was with them and she was great about keeping us updated, and I was confident that she was taking the best possible care of them. Our dog loved spending a weekend with Stefanie and I'm sure yours will too!”

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.

“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!”

“Melanie was a true gift to us. She took great care of Kolya and Emma, dedicated to their well being from second 1 through the end. I was updated regularly and enjoyed their interactions from afar. I came home to two very content and happy camper cats. I could tell how fond they were of Melanie and how well she tuned into their distint personalities. She communicated very well and left our apartment in excellent state. Highly recommend. Thank you.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

About: I have been an active volunteer with the Elmore SPCA in Peru Ny for 4 years. I often walk, socialize, enrich, and foster the dogs in the shelters care. I have worked with puppy's as young as 3 months up to the elder dogs to provide comfort. I am currently home for summer between my graduate years of college, my work schedule varies week to week. I have lived in this area for my entire life and am comfortable with traveling for the care. Unfortunately during this time I am unable to have pets in my home. To ensure the safety for me and your pets I have completed all state required ASPCA programs to work professionally with animals. The topics for dogs and cats included; body language, diseases, safety and management, and cleaning regulations. I have regularly walked and fostered dogs from Elmore SPCA in upstate NY. Through them I have gained lots of experience handling different breeds, temperaments, sizes and ages of dogs.

“Stephen is a phenomenal communicator, with humans and pups. He’s very friendly and professional, and is terrific at what he does! Look forward to having him sit for our brood again soon.”

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life. My earliest memory is of my German shepherd at 3 years old running up to me and giving me lots of love and kisses. We can play as much as needed outside or just chill and relax inside with our friends. I am home most days so am generally available unless I get booked up to take care of your fur baby! You can rest assured your pet will be given lots of love with me! I have a toy poodle that loves company and playing with other dogs! I also welcome cats and can provide a large range of space or a more isolated environment, whatever they prefer!

“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 been taking care of dogs almost my entire life. I’ve taking care of family and neighbors dogs and it’s the best part of my day! Im currently working part time and I have plenty of extra time to take care of someone dog(s) for them. I want to help others out and this is something I would really enjoy doing! I have a dog and I walk him on nice days in my neighborhood after work and I play with him out in my back yard with a few of his favorite toys so he gets exercise.

“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!”

“Really grateful to’ve found such a great sitter! Super communicative and of course most importantly, great with our dogs. Felt safe leaving them and our home in her care.”

“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 earliest memories feature dogs and cats, and they have been in my life since the age of three. Frankly, it's difficult to imagine my life without them. I have been taking care of my own, family and friends furry companions from the age of ten. I'm here for the snuggles, pets, playtimes, walks, potty breaks, litter changes and the quiet times too. From tiny, eight week old puppies, prime adults and elderly dogs that require a different kind of care and patience, to rambunctious kittens and their chill adult counterparts, each animal has a personality of their own; I'm here for them all. When people ask if I'm a cat or dog person, for me there isn't a choice; it's both! I've had experience with: - House and command training puppies from the age of eight weeks and up - Daily walks, usually between 30 min minimum to 2-3 hours; I love walks too, so it's a win-win 🐾 - Administering oral and topical medications to canines; mouths, eyes, and ears - Playtime! Or just keeping them quiet company, if that's what they prefer. - Dropping in and checking on our feline babies: changing litter boxes, feeding, play and keeping them company. I love spending time with cats of any size and stage. I am currently working part-time in food/hospitality, and begin seasonal event work in the springtime so my schedule is flexible. Currently, I have flexible availability for walks, drop-in visits or house-stays on Monday, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays. When dropping in for a visit at a client's home, I always make sure to keep the space secure and clean for our four-legged friends. Pet owners can rest assured that their dogs will be engaged with and supervised, and cat people will know that their kitties are in a safe, calm environment. Animals are special to me, and I aim to treat them all as if they are my own.

“Michele was fabulous!! Jasper was in great hands! She sent plenty of photos and I appreciated this! She also drove Jasper to his doggie daycare, Central Bark! This kept Jasper occupied and offered Michele a break! Although I know she would have kept him busy at home too.”

“Dan just got finished watching our two dogs and I can confidently say he is the best. I got daily updates (most days twice a day) with pictures. My boys always looked content. Dan even cleaned the house before we came home and everything was spotless. It was very obvious when we got back that the boys were well taken care of and enjoyed having him here. Will definitely use again in the future and would highly recommend to others!”

About: Growing up in a home with two beloved rescue corgis and cats, I learned early on the importance of compassion and care for animals. My family dedicated countless years to fostering dogs in need, primarily from southern areas, which helped me understand the unique personalities and needs of every pet. Currently, I have three energetic rescue pups that I raised from puppies, and this has only deepened my love and understanding of dogs. With years of experience pet sitting, walking, and fostering, I’ve gained a strong ability to connect with dogs of all backgrounds and temperaments. Whether it’s giving special attention to shy rescues or providing energy filled playtime, I’m here to ensure your pets feel safe, loved, and cared for in every way. I'm currently a student working as a lifeguard so I have flexibility throughout the day during the week. This allows me to give your pups the outdoor time they deserve, whether it's for a quick walk or a longer adventure. I have plenty of experience walking dogs/watching pets: I always stay alert to my surroundings, including other animals and people. On walks observing your dog's reactions helps me determine the best course of action to ensure their comfort and safety throughout the time that I am with them!
