Dog Sitting Long Valley

About: Growing up on a farm, I developed a special bond with animals. I was always surrounded by furry friends, learning to care for them. I have a unique connection with cats and dog. They have always been my loyal companions and playful buddies. I can sense when something’s off with an animal and respond with care. Friends and family call me an animal whisperer. I can’t wait to meet your cats and dogs, love them, and treat them like my own! 💝 I’m currently in between jobs so I have plenty of time to love and care for your pets. Even when I am employed, I always make it a priority to take care of your pets. This isn’t just a side job for me, this is my passion. This is not applicable as I do not currently take clients in my home. However for your home, my goal is safety and peace of mind for you. I will make sure gates are secured, leashes are buckled and doors are closed to prevent any sort of escapes.

“David was great, took great care of my 3 cats. They usually don't come out for people they aren't familiar with, but they came out for him, which was a nice surprise”

“Ysela took excellent care of our cat while we were away. She was available for a last min weekend trip. She was incredibly responsive and took notes on how to care for our cat. We were updated on each visit with photos and feedback on our pet’s behavior and demeanor. We will absolutely have her take care of our cat again.”

About: I’ll care for your pets as if they were my own. I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, walking and providing your pets with what they are used to and need. I’ll play, brush, communicate with them with a lot of love and care. I presently care for friends’ dogs and have taken care of cats as well. I’ve had an Irish Setter, Garman Sheppard and English Springer Spaniel. I had to move after my divorce and pets are not allowed where I live now. Taking care of pets Is how I interact with these precious beings now. I hope to be able to have my own pet again some day. My last dog was a Springer Spaniel named Luna. She was so loving, smart and active. She was a part of our family. When my son was born, she slept under his crib. I’ll be happy to answer any questions you may have and will follow your directions and preferences. Safety for your pet is also a priority of mine. I work during the week. I'm available for pet sitting on weekends. I can also pet/house sit. My work schedule can be flexible for that. I can work from your home and take care of your pets. I will pet them, play games with them, if the yard is fenced or has an electric fence, in I can play frisbee outside and other fun games for exercise. I will wash their bowls, feed them, keep the water fresh and give them medication if needed or instructed by the family.

About: Hello, I’m Kathryn, but feel free to call me Katie. Having worked at the ASPCA for almost seven years, animal welfare is truly at the core of everything I do. My priority is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you are away. I am reliable, attentive, and committed to keeping your dog healthy and happy with meaningful exercise. I provide longer, quality walks, structured play sessions tailored to your dog’s energy level, and one-on-one companionship so your pet feels cared for throughout the day. What I offer • Consistent, clear communication • Detailed updates with photos • Longer walks • Safe handling, comfort, and routine care • A calm and patient approach Availability • Weekdays: early mornings, mid-day, after work, and late evenings • Weekends: flexible with advance notice I know my rates look a little higher, but that reflects my experience, professionalism, and the level of attention your pet will receive. I am more than happy to hop on a quick call to answer any questions before booking. I can also provide personal referrals if needed. A little about me: I have two cats, Linus and Liam, who are my whole world. I also adore dogs and grew up with several breeds including a Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier, Cocker Spaniel, Mini Schnauzer, and a Bernese Mountain Dog. I hope to rescue a Great Dane someday, but until then I pour all my dog-love into the pups I care for. Skills • Leash training • Basic obedience and tricks • Brushing, baths, simple grooming • Agility exposure (from working with a Bernese) I would love the chance to care for your best friend and make sure they feel happy and comfortable until you return. I work from home, so pet care fits easily into my routine, and my schedule is very flexible. On weekdays, I’m available in the early mornings, mid-day, after work, and into the evening. I’m also able to help on weekends with a little advance notice. I have two cats at home, so I prefer to care for dogs in their owner's home. This has always worked well when I watch my friends’ dogs, as I typically stay at their house or apartment for extended periods while they’re away. It allows their pup to stay in a familiar, comfortable environment with their usual routines, rather than introducing new animals or unnecessary stress. My focus is always on making sure your dog feels safe, relaxed, and at home.

About: Part time remote worker here who is able to give all the care and love your furry friends need while you're away. I’ve been caring for pets for over 15 years — everything from energetic puppies to wise senior dogs and curious kittens. I understand that every animal has its own personality and needs, and I take pride in adapting my care to each one. Insured and bonded for your pet's protection! For cats, I bring 13 years of first hand experience as a devoted cat mom, including caring for senior cats who need a little extra patience and love. I’m comfortable administering oral medication, monitoring appetite and hydration, and creating a calm environment that keeps pets feeling safe and loved. I’ve also worked with rescue animals and shy pets who need extra time to warm up. My calm, nurturing energy helps them build trust quickly. Whether it’s a long walk, gentle play, brushing sessions, or making sure litter boxes are fresh and spotless, I treat every pet as if they were my own. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life — it’s not something I squeeze in, it’s something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize. When I’m pet sitting, I make sure each visit gets my full attention.

I love the calm rhythm of spending time with animals and giving them consistent care and affection. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my focus is on maintaining their normal routine and creating a calm, comfortable environment. I follow each pet’s care plan closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and medication needs. Dogs enjoy plenty of exercise and positive attention, while cats receive patient care, a clean litter box, and affection at their own pace. I’m experienced in recognizing behavioral or appetite changes and responding with gentle attention and communication. Each visit includes fresh food and water, a tidy environment, and attentive care tailored to your pet’s personality. I also provide regular updates and photos, so you can travel with peace of mind knowing your pets are safe and well cared for.
