Top rated New Milford house sitters

“Pete went above and beyond! Incredible job as far as attention to detail and instructions. Very nice guy who kept us completely in the loop the entire time we were gone. Pete is easily the best dogsitter we’ve ever had and our dogs can’t wait to have him back. Whatever is above a perfect rating is what we’d rate him.”


“I highly recommend Charlie as a dog sitter! He took wonderful care of our grandma Carlee over the busy 4th of July weekend. At 15, Carlee is very low maintenance but has some special needs. Charlie was attentive to all of them and we especially appreciated seeing her so comfortable and cozy in the updates he provided whenever we requested them. We weren't able to respond immediately to early questions about her care, but it was clear that Charlie had everything under control. When we returned home, Carlee was safe, happy, and clearly well-cared for. That's all that truly matters, and we're so grateful for Charlie's excellent service!”



“Stephanie loved my girls as if they were her own. They were well cared for, our home was perfect and as we met on the way out she has a calming and relaxing smile. Stephanie will be one of our family now ??”


“Michael is the BEST. He took care of our house and our cats with patience, humor, respect, and care. He sent photos, funny info, and kept us updated on their antics. A couple of things went wrong in the house while we were away (nothing to do with Michael) and he handled them with complete grace. I felt at ease while we were away and would not hesitate to hire Michael again. And again!! We recommend him 200%!!”


“Sierra stayed at my apartment in the BX to watch my 45lb rescue pittie for three weeks in May, and I highly recommend her! She was responsive and so generous coming all the way from NJ to meet my pup and me first and incredibly responsive before the day of. Every day she sent me text and/photo updates, and it was super clear my pup was very well cared for and loved. Coming back, pup was happy and healthy and the apartment was clean as I left it (thanks, Sierra!).”


“Natalie was amazing! I felt like my dogs were very well taken care of and didn’t have to worry. She sent pictures and updates every day which was very helpful. I’d definitely book with her again and highly recommend to others.”


About: I’m a recent college graduate with degrees in Education and History, and I’ll be starting my career as a teacher this September. For the I’m looking for meaningful summer work—and what could be better than spending time with animals! I’ve been caring for both my own pets and others’ for over 8 years, and I bring the same level of responsibility and attention to detail to pet sitting as I do to the classroom. I’m punctual, dependable, and full of energy—whether your pet needs long walks, playtime at the park, or just some extra love and attention, I’m happy to provide it. I’m also experienced with a wide range of pet needs, including puppies. I am available Monday - Thursday (after 2:30) as well as Fridays and weekends (any time)! I begin teaching high school in September and availability will differ. In my own home, I spoil my little babies 🥰 I feed my cats dry food twice a day, stock their water fountain with water, keep the dry food stocked, and clean their litter boxes. I give them outside time as long as they stay close or just have the back screen door open to let them see, smell, and hear the nature. Occasionally, I will take them in walks in the kitty stroller with the dog on the leash. When taking care of other people’s cats, I treat them with the same love I would my own. I am happy to care for them in all the same ways, including spending time with them, not just running in and out to feed and clean. I also usually provide photo updates. I take care of my dog by feeding him dry food, letting him out every three hours, taking him on walks as often as possible, giving him snuggles, playing fetch, giving treats, etc. so pretty much treat my dog like a king. I am happy to do the same for you!

“Chelsea is a sincere dog lover and very reliable! Our DOD was well taken care of and I highly recommend her and would use her again! Thank you!”


“Amanda is awesome! She took great care of our senior dog while we were on vacation. She was extremely patient and attentive to her needs, gave her all her meds, and plenty of walks and attention. She was also very communicative which helped ease our anxiety about leaving our dog. I highly recommend her!”


“Yvette was awesome! She kept our dog company during a family wedding. She sent lots of pictures and was flexible as our plans changed. We have already recommended her to our family who are looking for a new sitter!! Thank you Yvette!”


“Alexandra is so so wonderful! Whenever I go away and have her stay with my 3 dogs, I never worry because know they are being cared for by someone I fully trust. She is kind and thoughtful. Alexandra sends photos every day and makes sure to update me about everything! She allows me to relax when I leave and that’s the most wonderful feeling! Thank you for being amazing to my fur babies 🥰”

“Monica was a great choice for house sitting our three boys! She was responsive and sent updates daily. When we got home we could tell our guys had been well taken care of!”


“Cindy was absolutely wonderful! She helped out after a sitter cancelled last minute, came early to meet our nervous pup, and stayed a half hour longer just to make sure she got her full time outside. I couldn’t be more thrilled and highly recommend her!”


About: I love my pets and would do anything for them. They’re not just animals to me—they’re like family. Taking care of them, playing with them, and making sure they’re happy is one of the best parts of my day. I have a bunny and a guinea pig, and I truly love taking care of them. I’m experienced in providing attentive, gentle care and understand the importance of meeting each pet’s unique needs. I treat pets like family and am committed to keeping them happy, safe, and comfortable. When caring for pets in other people’s homes, I always follow the owner’s instructions closely to make sure their pets get exactly what they need. I treat their home with respect by keeping things clean and following any house rules. I spend quality time playing with and caring for the pets so they feel comfortable and happy. I also keep the owner updated with regular messages and photos, and if I notice anything unusual, I contact them right away. My goal is to make sure the pets are safe, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away.

About: I’ve taken care of big dogs such as golden retrievers and golden doodles since I could walk, since we used to always have a dog at home. Since then, I have helped friends take care of their dogs, from big to small, puppies to seniors. I love animals and would love to help fellow pet owners out whenever they need! I’m currently working full days only twice a week, on Tuesdays and Thursdays. This allows me to keep my Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays open, as well as some weekends. While I do have a fenced back yard, I have a pool that would make it less likely for playtime in the yard. That being said, there are multiple open parks near by and I love to walk with dogs or play with them at the park. My home is spacious inside, so pets will have freedom to roam around. I am also happy to set up a crate for a pet, provided by the pet owner.

“Maryann was great with my German Shepherd. He's been going through some separation from me and his sister and she was attentive by his side. She cleaned up well after him as well and made sure he got walked or went to the doggy park. I would contact her again.”


About: we used to have a 15 year old Labradoodle back home in Istanbul, the capital of cats and dogs. she is still well and alive and we miss her so much. they are a part of our life in general and we miss that also. we d be more than glad to help. i love walking the dogs and sitting with cats. vibration is all that matters. Taking care of animals is the least we can do in this cruel life.. we have a pretty big front yard and the neighborhood is full of parks and walking routes. at home we have a backyard for emergency purposes. and its a cozy family home in general with a 5 year old.

“This being the first time I left my dog with a house sitter overnight I was apprehensive at first but Alyssa quickly proved there was nothing to worry about as things could not have gone better. My dog seemed to like being with her, ate normally and was active. She followed all the instructions, texted with questions, and even gave him a few extra fun activities that weren't expected. Lots of great photos too - action photos of my dog in his daily routine so I know everything was normal. And she left perfectly in order. I would feel very comfortable having Alyssa back for house sitting again.”


“Ashlee is amazing! Could not ask for a better person to watch my dogs. She is very friendly, welcoming and very responsive. She was able to accommodate our last minute request. Excellent experience! I would highly recommend her!”
