House Sitting in Mongaup Valley

“Outstanding Dog Sitter! We can’t say enough wonderful things about Lillie. She took care of our four dogs for an entire week -each with their own quirks and handled it all with incredible patience and professionalism.She kept us updated with amazing photos and thoughtful messages every day, which gave us such peace of mind while we were away. It’s clear she genuinely loves animals and takes her responsibilities seriously. Our pups were happy, relaxed, and clearly adored her. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable sitter. We will absolutely be booking with her again.”

“Alisa is a true animal lover and my gang adored her. She is a great communicator, always letting you know how everything is going, when she is arriving, when she is leaving. She sends lots of photos and videos and was a joy to work with. I felt like my guys were in great hands and I would absolutely work with her again!”

“Loved Sara. She took good care of our Beagles, Benny & Miles! Kept us in the loop with daily information updates about them and shared some great pictures of the boys. Went out of her way to take delivery of package our daughter had shipped to us. We recommend Sara to care for for your pets. Great sitter! Five (5) Star Experience! This was our first experience with Sara but it will not be the last.”

“I can't say enough good things about Logan S. First off, he bailed us out from a desperate situation as our original dog sitter bailed on us the week of our daughter's wedding. With that being said, his professionalism is unmatched. He made the time to come and meet our dogs before accepting the job and kept sending us updates and pictures the entire time we were gone, to give us peace of mind, knowing we had never left our dogs with anyone besides family. He followed all the directions specific to our dogs to a tee. Best of all, our dogs LOVED him. We will DEFINITELY hire him again and can't recommend him enough to anyone in need of a sitter”

John S.

“That’s such a sweet detail — here’s the updated review with that added in: ⸻ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ She was absolutely wonderful with Ozzie, Molly, and Pita. Her calm, low-key energy was just what they needed. When I got home, everyone was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. She even took the time to run water for Pita, which he loves. It was such a thoughtful touch! It gave me real peace of mind knowing they were in such capable and caring hands. I’ll definitely be using her again.”

Christine F.

“Angela provided absolute peace of mind for us. She gave such great care to our 2 dogs and home and sent continuous updates throughout the stay. Our girls can be a challenge sometimes and Angela gave us that reassurance that everything was being taken care of. 100% recommend.”

Erica G.

“I am so so grateful we found Kamber (and her amazing daughter) to help us with our little dog Sonny. He was definitely in a reactive / nervous mood when they arrived and Kamber’s patience and calm presence immediately put him at ease. She’s a total pro with dogs, knew exactly how to handle Sonny’s tricky temperament, and I would use her a million times if we lived in the area. I received pictures/updates throughout their stay and Kamber even offered to arrive half an hour early to make sure we all felt comfortable. I’ve used a lot of sitters and Kamber is one of the best I’ve ever encountered. Thank you so much, Kamber and Aneesah.”

Lauren L.

“Vanessa was by far the best sitter we’ve had in nearly ten years. She went above and beyond. She took pebbles on hikes and swims and dog parks, kept her super clean and managed her food and meds very well. We returned in over a week to find pebbles thriving. We would call on Vanessa in a heart beat going forward whenever we need someone to care for our pup.”

Samarth N.

“We could not be happier with Jade! She came to our rescue when a kennel reservation fell through and stayed in our home for four nights with our eight month old Samoyed puppy and three year old bengal cat while we traveled out of state to a family wedding. Jade exudes an immense amount of compassion and sensitivity, as well as the utmost professionalism. Her communication is awesome, and her experience/knowledge as a petsitter and caretaker of animals really shows. She took remarkable care of our beloved cat and dog, and just as importantly she cared beautifully for our house while we were away. This was our first time working with a pet sitter, and actually opening our home to someone while we weren’t there, which was totally nerve-wracking! We are so grateful that Jade was the person we connected with.”

“Amy was able to take care of my puppy for a night even though I reach out last minute, came for a meet and greet and. Took good care of my energetic puppw!”

About: I’m an experienced animal caregiver who uses positive reinforcement techniques. I enjoy walks and playtime, and will happily send pet photos to keep you updated! I have a flexible weekly schedule. Get in touch with me about one-off check-ins, or long weekends with your pal while you are out of town. I am a loving and positive pet caregiver. Pets will never be put in unfamiliar situations and I will respect all of your pets needs for safety.

About: I have experience with many different dog breeds with different energy and health needs. I give all of the animals under my care the same treatment. I would take care of a super senior cat with the same dedication I would a golden retriever puppy. I'm not squeamish at all either, I'm comfortable dealing with body fluids and administering injection and medications. I have volunteered at multiple animal shelters so i've seen it all! Currently, my only commitments are helping to babysit younger family members, which is flexible schedule and only part-time. I have lots of time to not only take care of your animals, but also play with them and give them good entertainment My own dog is a runner, so I am hypervigilant about making sure animals don't dart out doors. I always make sure I physically see the animal and watch them to make sure they look healthy and happy, I don't just leave food and water and go home. I'm more than happy to give daily updates on animals i'm watching there are owners out of town and take pictures

About: I’ve been caring for animals my entire life—whether it’s been my own pets, helping out friends, or rescuing strays in need. Both of my cats were rescued by me, and I’ve always had a natural connection with animals. They’re drawn to me, and I love giving them the same trust and affection they show me. I grew up with big dogs, including two pit bulls and a boxer, so I’m confident and comfortable handling larger breeds. Over the years, I’ve potty trained dogs, taught tricks, and cared for pets with all kinds of temperaments. My experience goes beyond cats and dogs—I’ve also cared for frogs, snakes, turtles, and even had the incredible opportunity to volunteer with elephants in Thailand. My love for animals runs so deep that I’ve been vegan for over a decade. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do—it’s truly part of who I am. What I Offer 🐾 A 100% open and flexible schedule—your pets will always get the time, love, and attention they deserve. 🐾 Experience with animals of all sizes, temperaments, and special needs. 🐾 Patience, playfulness, and genuine compassion for every pet I meet. Whether it’s cuddles, walks, playtime, or extra TLC, I’ll treat your fur babies like they’re my own. I have a completely open and flexible schedule, available any day and time. Since I mostly work from home, I can easily accommodate bookings, cancellations, last-minute changes, and special requests. The only exception is occasional weekend evenings after 5 PM, when I work at The Colony in Woodstock. Other than that, I’m always here for you and your pets! I live in a spacious three-bedroom, 2 story home with a large open yard, perfect for pets to play and explore. Your furry friend will have plenty of room to stretch, run, and enjoy the outdoors while getting all the exercise and fresh air they need to stay happy and healthy.

“Wonderful! Took a unique situation and did an absolutely wonderful job taking care of my sick pup!”

“I’m so happy to have met Samantha. She is incredibly kind and took great care of my dogs (and house!) while I was away for an extended work trip and they clearly adored her too. They took to her immediately the afternoon of our meet & greet which left me feeling completely at ease leaving them behind.”

About: I have several years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. In addition to pet sitting, I currently work part-time at both a kennel and a veterinary office as a vet tech, which has given me hands-on experience with animal behavior, safe handling, medication administration, senior pet care, and recognizing signs of stress or illness. I’m comfortable caring for energetic puppies, shy pets, senior animals, and pets with special routines or medical needs. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away, so I always try to provide calm, attentive, and personalized care. I also make communication a priority and love sending updates and photos so pet parents can feel reassured. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine alongside my part-time work at a kennel and veterinary office. Because caring for animals is already a major part of my daily life, I’m very comfortable managing feeding schedules, walks, medications, playtime, and check-ins consistently and reliably. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and wellbeing are always my top priorities. My experience working in both a kennel and veterinary setting has taught me how to safely handle pets, recognize signs of illness or stress, and adapt to different temperaments and needs. I carefully follow all care instructions regarding feeding, medications, exercise, and routines to help pets feel secure and comfortable. In clients’ homes, I work to maintain a calm, clean, and familiar environment while giving pets plenty of attention and affection. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in caring and capable hands while you’re away.
