House Sitting in Long Valley

“Lauren took excellent care of our dog and home while we were away. On top of that our dog was not on her best behavior during Lauren's time with her, but Lauren was very kind and understanding. We were so appreciative of her, highly recommend!”

“This is the second time we booked with Hannah. She is extremely reliable, responsive, and trustworthy. We needed to head out of town unexpectedly and Hannah respoded on very short notice and was able to help. We had peace of mind that our pup was well taken care of while we were away. We look forward to working with Hannah again and highly recommend her to others!”

“Lauren was absolutely amazing. She took wonderful care of my dog Ghost and sent pictures and updates throughout the day. I had a day where plans went a bit off the rails and she was flexible with timing. It was such a relief during a hectic day to know my dog was well taken care of. Will definitely be booking with her again. Thank you so much Lauren!”

About: I have worked at the pet shop in town for almost 4 years. I have learned a lot about nutrition and am here to help with that as well. I have always loved dogs & animals. I have 3 dogs now and use to have cats growing up. I have always helped family/ friends with their pets. My cousins would call me “ the dog whisperer” I am very patient and understanding- a dog sometimes is anxious just like us humans. I think taking time out of the day and using interactive toys is so important for stimulation and keeping them busy. I usually am off on sunday & tuesdays. I typically work in the morning until 3pm. Can do walks/feed them/ check in’s on the dogs after work and most likely before work. I have lots of grass outside & a gate inside.I would play with them outside, make sure they have a harness and a longer line ( so they are safe)& take them for walks. I can brush the dogs as well. I do prefer to stop at the clients house. I have 2 dogs at my house - it can be a lot. In the clients house I would first make sure the dog goes outside to the bathroom upon arrival. I would take them for a walk, play with the dogs outside( depending on the gate situation) Make sure they have lots of water, food & i can brush them.

“Ryan was prompt, courteous and took great care of our dog Duke while we visited family out of state for a weekend. Duke immediately loved him and we felt at ease leaving him in Ryan’s care. We highly recommend Ryan and are looking forward to booking him again in the future!”

About: I’ve grown up surrounded by animals my entire life, which has given me a natural understanding and deep love for their care. I have hands-on experience volunteering with organizations such as 11th Hour Rescue and PetSmart, where I learned how to work with pets of all temperaments and needs. Additionally, my mother-in-law is a retired professional dog trainer, and through her guidance, I’ve gained valuable knowledge in training techniques, behavior management, and proper care routines. I’m passionate about creating a safe, loving, and comfortable environment for every pet I care for—whether that means providing extra patience for shy or anxious animals, keeping up with the energy of playful puppies, or offering gentle support for senior pets. Your pet’s happiness and well-being will always be my top priority. I currently work a very flexible job, which allows me to adjust my schedule easily to fit your pet’s needs. I have availability during weekdays and can stop by for walks, playtime, feedings, or cuddles whenever it works best for you and your furry friend. My flexible hours make it easy for me to provide consistent care and attention, even on short notice! When caring for pets in my client’s home, I follow their usual routines to keep them happy and comfortable. This includes feeding at their scheduled times, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes or outdoor areas, providing playtime and exercise, administering any necessary medications, and, of course, giving plenty of love and attention. I also make sure to keep their environment tidy and safe, so you can return to a happy pet and a well-cared-for home.

“I have a 12 year old dog and a 12 year old cat. The dog is pretty sick and needs very specific care and Jessica went above and beyond for both of them! You can tell she really cares deeply for the animals she takes care of. She sends very helpful updates, is very attentive to their needs and my pets already miss her.”

“Solenny house sat the day with my animal family and was great, super professional and very communicative. My pets were very well taken care of, would highly recommend!”

Victor G.

“Ethan was great! Called ahead of time to make sure it was a good fit. When he got here, our dog took to him right away. He was communicative and shared pictures with us afterward. We felt a lot better on our trip knowing our dog was in good hands!”

Brittany H.

“We had an amazing experience with Christina. She was very communicative and sent pics with updates. Our sweet senior puppy needed extra care and she did just that. Highly recommend if you need in home care for your pup. Thank you!”

Jenny L.

“I recently hired Jake as my dog walker, and I couldn't be happier with the experience! He truly went above and beyond my expectations. Not only did he take excellent care of my dog, but he also picked up my mail and even cleaned up my house, which was a delightful surprise. Communication was top-notch; Jake kept me well informed throughout the entire process and sent me tons of pictures, which made me feel connected and reassured while I was away. His attentiveness and dedication to my dog's well-being were evident, and I wholeheartedly recommend his services to anyone in need of a reliable and caring dog walker!”

Nicole M S.

“My thanks to Emanuala for helping me out last minute so that I can go to work and not worry about my dog being home alone for too long! Lily is slow to warm up to new people and Emanuela does very well with listening to her cues and her needs. She was well taken care of and was kept busy playing ball.”

About: 🐾 Experienced and Loving Pet Sitter Ready to Care for Your Furry Friends! 🐾 Hey there! If you're looking for a professional pet sitter to take care of your pets like they're family, you're in the right place. With a lifetime of experience under my belt, I've got the skills and the heart to make sure your pets are happy and healthy while you're away. I'm proud to say that my clients trust me and my wife Dana to look after their pets time and time again as shown by my repeat clients and positive reviews here. Whether it's walking your dog, feeding your cat, or just giving some cuddles, We are here to make sure your pets feel loved and cared for. We take this caretaker job seriously, but we also know how to have fun with animals. From the most energetic pup to the shyest kitty, I'll treat each furry friend like they're my own. If your pet needs some extra attention or has special needs, I've got it covered. So, if you need a reliable and loving pet sitter who'll go above and beyond for your pets, let's chat! Reach out today, and let's make sure your furry pals are in good hands while you're away. 🐾 Here are some benefits to hiring us, where you get two sitters rather than one: 1. Double the Attention: With two pet sitters, your pets get double the love and attention! They won't ever feel lonely or neglected because there's always someone around to play, cuddle, or just keep them company. 2. Backup Plan: Life happens, right? Having two pet sitters means you've got a built-in backup plan. If one pet sitter has an emergency or can't make it for some reason, you've still got another reliable person who can step in and take care of your pets without missing a beat. 3. Different Perspectives: Every pet sitter has their own unique style and approach. With two sitters, your pets get to experience different personalities and activities, which can keep things exciting and enriching for them. 4. Specialized Care: Two pet sitters can divide tasks based on their strengths and preferences. One might be a pro at dog walks while the other excels at giving medications or grooming. This means your pets get specialized care tailored to their individual needs. 5. More Flexibility: With two pet sitters, scheduling becomes a breeze! You have more flexibility to plan around your own schedule or any last-minute changes without worrying about your pets' care being compromised. We are always available! Look to us for everything from workday walks and holiday vacations! Our last walk is 9pm, earliest is 6:30am, everyday of the week! When we meet before the first walk I will ask you to show me your routines and what the furry four legged children like to do for their walks and feeding times. We will go over health and behaviors and then integrate that into our dog walking plan.

“Emily did a wonderful job taking care of my dog! She was so communicative and sent me pictures throughout her stay. She was professional and well prepared with questions to ensure she had all the information she needed to take care of my dog. I HIGHLY recommend Emily for dog walking/dog sitting and I can’t wait to use her again in the future.”

About: Hi, I’m Kimberly! I was born an animal lover, and I’ve spent my life surrounded by all kinds of pets—from puppies and parrots to ponies and hedgehogs! Over the years, I’ve worked as a vet tech, kennel tech, dog breeder, handler, trainer and breed judge. I’ve also raised a family alongside a full house of animals, young and old, healthy and in need of extra care. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do—it’s who I am. I’ve helped nurse many pets back to health with patience, time, and love. I believe every animal deserves gentle, attentive care—especially when their humans are away. Let me be your pet’s loving caregiver and companion while you’re gone. I’ll treat them like family! ⸻ Why I love pet sitting I’ve loved animals my whole life! Pet sitting allows me to do what I love most—care for animals—while giving peace of mind to other pet parents. ⸻ Can I administer medication? Yes! I worked as a veterinary technician for 5 years and have experience with oral medications, injections, wouand care. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide consistent, attentive care throughout the day. Whether your pet needs early morning walks, midday playtime, or evening snuggles, I’m available to accommodate your routine. I’ll work with you to make sure your pet stays happy, comfortable, and on schedule while you’re away. There truly is no place like home, especially when it comes to our beloved pets. I wholeheartedly believe that animals find their greatest joy and sense of security within the warmth and familiarity of their own surroundings. That’s why I provide gentle, trustworthy in-home care designed to maintain your pet’s routine and minimize any stress they may feel. Whether it’s a nutritious meal, a refreshing walk, administering medication, or simply sharing some cuddle time, I promise to care for your pet with all the love and tenderness as if they were my own, right in the comfort of their cherished home.

About: I’ve been an animal lover since I was a kid. I grew up with dogs, cats and bunnies. I’m a former kennel-hand at veterinary hospitals. I’m also a former Pet Car Technician at K9 Resorts Luxury Dog Hotel of Roxbury. I’ve been house/ pet sitting for years now but just by word of mouth. I’ve dealt with breeds ranging from golden retrievers and labs to rottweilers and pitbulls to chihuahuas and french bulldogs. I believe I am fully capable to properly and lovingly take care of your furry friend(s)! I’m currently working weekend nights at Roxbury Diner. I work 3 pm or 4 pm to 9 pm or 10 pm at night. I am able to take off from work if you need me over the weekend but I need 2 weeks in advance to request off! I care for your furry friends with lots of love. I like to go for walks so I am willing and able to take your pet with me!

About: I happened to work as Sales & Social Media Coordinater for a dog training school a few years back, and that experience changed my whole outlook on how we care for our pets! The dog trainers I created content for taught me about positive reinforcement and reward-based methods in the process. Since moving to a different field I’ve used those skills to handle, walk, and petsit every animal from bearded dragons to cats on the side in a way that’s fun for everyone involved. Animals are my happy place & I’d love to share that joy with your family! I work 9AM to 6:15PM most days, so I am the perfect candidate for your morning and evening walks as well as overnight stays! I can do afternoon Drop-Ins for Essex County residents as well. It’s also no problem for me to house-sit and commute to work from your location. I’m very flexible - please contact me to find a schedule that works for you! I do not offer boarding services in my own home at this time, but I will always make sure I leave my client’s home as I left it when I visit and care for their beloved one 🐾
