House Sitting Long Island

“Tanya was incredible. She was in charge of Rue while me and my now wife were getting married. Rue is so important to us that we wanted her to be a part of our wedding as ring bearer. Rue was not allowed to be by herself at the venue and we had another Rover fall through a week before the wedding. Tanya came through for us in a clutch. Rue can be a little anxious around large groups of people, but Tanya made her feel safe and comfortable. Rue was excited to run back to Tanya after she brought us our rings. Tanya went above and beyond with her role. We didn’t have anything special for rue to wear, but Tanya stopped before the wedding and got rue the cutest white flower to wear without us even asking. It made me cry when I saw her running down the aisle to us. Tanya was attentive, punctual, and warm. We literally couldn’t have asked for a better person to watch our sweet baby and be active in her role at our wedding. Will book again 1000%”

“JaNiya is a phenomenal housesitter, especially if you have shy animals (but *any* animal would love her!). We have two skittish greyhounds and a very shy adopted cat. Within one day, our cat was sitting in JaNiya’s lap, and our dogs were relaxed and happy. I couldn’t believe it! She has such a calm, tender presence, and you can tell she adores animals. She’s even studying to be a veterinarian! Do not pass her up! She’s the only housesitter we’ll use from now on!”

“Paige was wonderful! She communicated with us throughout the weekend and made sure all of our animals were taken care of. We can’t wait to get her help in the future!”

About: While traveling, I completed approximately 20 house and pet sits through TrustedHousesitters, including several repeat sits. Now that I’m spending more time at home in Chattanooga, I’m bringing that experience to local pet owners through Rover. I also had a high-energy Springer Spaniel of my own, so I understand both the daily needs of an active dog and how much trust it takes to leave a beloved companion in someone else’s care. To me, excellent pet sitting is about more than feeding and walks—it’s noticing the little things, respecting each pet’s routine, communicating consistently, and helping them feel safe and comfortable while their person is away. I’ve cared for dogs and cats with a range of personalities, from affectionate and easygoing pets to more apprehensive dogs who needed patience and careful handling. I ask thoughtful questions about each animal’s temperament, routines, walking needs, triggers, and boundaries so I can care for them as individuals. I’m also comfortable administering straightforward medications, including pills for dogs and cats. Past pet owners consistently mention my reliability, communication, cleanliness, and the happy pets they return home to. I send regular photos or videos, keep owners informed if anything unusual arises, and use good judgment when handling minor issues. As a homeowner and short-term-rental host myself, I also understand the responsibility involved in caring for someone’s property. I keep the home tidy, care for plants and other agreed-upon household needs, and aim to leave everything at least as well as I found it. In addition to dogs and cats, I have cared for chickens, a rabbit, and a parrot. I have an active but flexible schedule and am best suited to pets who are comfortable being left alone for ordinary stretches during the day. Depending on the season and my schedule, I may occasionally be away for up to 6–8 hours. I’ll always discuss your pet’s normal routine and maximum comfortable alone time before accepting a booking. Pets requiring frequent daytime attention or near-constant supervision may sometimes be accommodated through a customized care arrangement. I currently offer overnight care exclusively in the pet’s own home, allowing your animals to remain in the familiar environment where they feel safest. For first-time clients, I prefer an in-home meet-and-greet before confirming the booking. This gives me an opportunity to meet your pets, understand their routine, and make sure the arrangement feels comfortable for everyone. My goal is simple: for you to travel with peace of mind and return to relaxed, well-cared-for pets and a clean, peaceful home. I have a flexible schedule rather than a traditional set workday. I do much of my work from my laptop and otherwise divide my time among the gym, managing my nearby Airbnb, and rock climbing. On Airbnb turnover days, I may be cleaning between approximately 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. My outdoor climbing schedule varies by season: at certain times of year I may climb three or four days per week, while at other times I stay closer to town, take shorter outings, focus on indoor training, or climb very little. Before accepting any booking, I consider the pet’s routine, how long they can comfortably be left alone, my expected schedule, and the travel time involved in my plans. If I cannot reliably meet your pet’s needs, I simply won’t accept the booking. Once I commit to a sit, you can feel confident that I’ve made sure their required care fits my schedule. At this time, I offer care exclusively in the pet parent’s home, where pets can remain in familiar surroundings and follow their normal routines. I carefully follow instructions regarding feeding, walks, medication, doors and gates, outdoor access, and any household-specific safety concerns. Because I will be living and sleeping in the home, I accept bookings in reasonably clean, safe, non-smoking homes with functioning utilities and a comfortable sleeping space. Your home certainly does not need to be spotless, but it should be generally tidy and free from excessive clutter or conditions that would make an overnight stay uncomfortable or unsafe.

“This was our first time with Shamon and we will definitely book with her again. Arthur was well taken care of. She sent pictures to us throughout the whole stay. Everything was clean and looked the same as when we left. She was awesome!!”

About: I’ve always loved animals! And all my life I’ve always done something with them. Whether it be in boarding and daycare facilities-grooming-mobile grooming-volunteering at shelters all of it! I do have a job! But i always find times to care for those who trust me enough to give it. I’ve been doing this for many years so finding a just right schedule has been easier to manage! I personally like to schedule meet and greets before any overnight stay,dog walking,check ins ! Bevause that levels a ground of calmness and knowledge for the pet rather then showing up out of the blue. I always follow strict feeding protocols and make sure to communicate with the owners about how they expect things to be done for there furry friends.

About: I’ve always been a huge animal lover and have plenty of experience caring for animals of all shapes and sizes! I have horses of my own and have cared for everything from horses and donkeys to dogs, cats, and even fish. I also have two dogs of my own: a giant Goldendoodle (and I mean GIANT lol!) and a little wiener dog, along with two cats, a Maine Coon and a white shorthair. In addition to caring for my own pets, I take care of my boss’s two dogs every day at work, so I’m very comfortable with daily routines, feeding, walks, playtime, and giving pets plenty of love and attention. I also have lots of experience looking after other people’s animals, from the tiniest pups to the biggest dogs and everything in between! I know every animal has its own personality, needs, and routine, and I love getting to know each one. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, or just some extra care while you’re away, I’m happy to help! I’ll always treat your animals like they’re my own and make sure they’re loved and well taken care of! I currently work Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 7:30 AM to 3:30 PM, and I have college classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 8 AM to 11 AM. Outside of those hours, my schedule is pretty flexible! I’m more than happy to work with you to find times that fit both of our schedules. I know everyone has different routines, and I’ll always do my best to accommodate you and your furry friends! Whether you need someone for a quick check-in, a walk, or a longer stay, feel free to reach out and we can figure out what works best for everyone! I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pets in someone else’s care because I feel the exact same way about my own! Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort will always be my top priorities. I understand that every animal has its own personality, routine, and needs, so I’ll always do my best to make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I’m happy to follow any specific instructions you have, whether that’s feeding schedules, medications, walks, or just their favorite little routines! I’ll also make sure to keep you updated with pictures and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family members are in good hands. I’ll treat your home with respect and your pets with the same love and care I give my own!

About: I’ve grown up with animals and have my own dog and cat at home, so caring for pets is genuinely my favorite thing to do. I’m completely obsessed with dogs and puppies—if there’s a pup around, that’s immediately who I’m hanging out with! Having my own pets means I totally get how much they mean to you and how important it is to keep their routines consistent. Puppies especially hold a special place in my heart—I love their goofy energy, and I have zero problem keeping up with their constant play, extra supervision, and endless curiosity. Whether it’s going for long walks, playing fetch until they’re tired out, giving endless belly rubs, or just hanging out keeping them company, I treat every pet like my absolute best friend. You can totally relax knowing your fur baby is getting all the love, attention, and fun they could ever ask for while you’re away! I have watched dogs before, both dog sitting at their house and taking dogs for walks as well! Because I’m currently in school and don’t have a full-time job right now, my schedule is super open and flexible! Having that extra free time means I can give your pets tons of one-on-one attention, adapt easily to their specific daily routines, and never have to rush through a visit. I easily balance my schoolwork with pet care, so I'm around to offer steady companionship, frequent pot-ty breaks, and long walks throughout the day. Whether your pup needs midday play sessions to burn off puppy energy or your cat just wants someone hanging out nearby while I study, my open schedule allows me to give them all the time, love, and focus they deserve. I am pretty avabliable most afternoons after 12 and in between in the mornings when I dont have class and am defiently open to dog sitting at your hosue as well overnight! Because I live on campus, I don't host pets in my own place, but I absolutely love doing house sitting and drop-in care right in your home! Staying at your house is the best setup for your pets because they get to stay in their comfortable, familiar environment without any of the stress of moving around. When I stay at your home, your pet's happiness, routine, and comfort are my top priorities: Keeping Their Routine Normal: I follow their exact schedule for feeding, potty breaks, walks, and bedtime so everything feels completely seamless for them while you're away. Tons of Quality Time: Since my schedule is super flexible, I spend plenty of downtime at your home hanging out, studying, and giving your dogs, puppies, or cats all the play, affection, and belly rubs they could want. Respecting Your Space: I treat your house with complete care and respect, leaving it just as neat and tidy as I found it. Regular Updates: I always send photos and quick check-ins so you never have to wonder how your fur baby is doing.
