House Sitting in Newcomb

“I had Grace housesit/petsit for 3 days. She was excellent! I'm a helicopter cat mom and it's not easy leaving your home and baby with someone you don't know, Grace made the experience worry-free, my shy cat loved her and she sent frequent pics/updates. My house looked great when I got back, she even watered my plants. I'm definitely booking her again, and you should too, she's trustworthy, reliable and was just a nice, easy person to work with.”

About: I’ve been a dog owner for over a decade with a mix of different temperaments and personalities. I’ve also been dog and cat sitting for almost as long for friends and family. From little chihuahuas to Rottweilers, I’ve cared for many doggies. I’ve even helped train my mom’s three Belgian Malinois. Though I wouldn’t do it now with my toddler, I trained/rehabbed an abused Pitt bull seven years ago. She became the sweetest of all my dogs. My son, who is 16 months old and accompanying me, is very active, so we pretty much live outside (yes! Even when there is snow on the ground). We have a very flexible schedule except maybe when he goes to bed around 7:30/8pm Since people’s homes vary, I’m flexible with doing whatever it takes to keep your pet and others safe. Having no fence is not a problem as long as we have a leash :)

“Lily was terrific! She was enthusiastic and caring with Bailey and Beau and was a great communicator with us about details concerning our home and the pups needs. Would not hesitate to use her again.”

“Alicia was terrific. Great communication and took great care of our two Westies on an overnight stay. She did a great job with the two doggies and took great care of our house too. Highly recommend and we will be asking her to pupster sit again!! 👍”

About: I’ve owned different breed’s throughout my life and have had puppies grow up to live long, healthy lives! I’ve also had the pleasure of taking care of small and large dogs with hip displacia, blindness, cancer and other special needs. I’m also a huge health nut, so I’m always researching nutrition topics and things that may benefit the doggies I get to meet! I have an early job in the morning so I’ll be available for very early visits and I’ll be out of work at 1:30pm so I can spend the rest of the of the day and weekends taking care of my fur friends. I’ll keep and eye on them, make sure there is nothing around or anything they can get into to get hurt. On outside walks they always be on a leash and we will avoid big highways.

“Bella has done a wonderful job sitting for my pup. She did a great job with updating me on the day and providing photos, helping with MY separation anxiety! I’d definitely recommend booking Bella.”

About: Animals have been a big part of my life having grown up with both cats and dogs. While I don’t currently have my own pets, I regularly dog, cat and house sit for friends and family.

About: I have been a guide dog puppy raiser for the Seeing Eye since 2016 and was responsible for their general care, obedience, and socialization. I also have experience with our own rescue dogs and cats. A few summers ago, I worked at a dog boarding facility and provided general care for all different breeds of dogs. I would love to take care of your pet in your home so they are less stressed. I am also happy to provide dog walking and daily check-ins when you aren't able to be home. I currently have a very flexible schedule and I am available on week days and weekends. The more lead time I have, the more flexible I can be. I will happily keep your pets on their daily schedule as you see fit. I am comfortable playing with the dogs in a fenced area or walking them on a leash.

“Wendy was amazing! She was so good with my bully mix who can be wary of others! She took such great care of Luna, and took things at her speed which is exactly what I needed when finding a sitter for my girl! Will definitely recommend and be using Wendy again! Thank you!”

“Kat did a fantastic job taking care of my dog Oscar (and my apt) for four days, I highly recommend and hope she’s available next time I need a dog sitter!”

Chris G.

“Kacy was great with taking care of my dog, Luna! Luna is a very high energy, bully mix who can be a little crazy! Kacy handled her very well and Luna warmed up quickly to her, which was great because sometimes Luna can be wary of people. Definitely recommend Kacy!”

About: Hello Pet Owners! My name is Haley and I've been a dog walker and overnight sitter for many animal friends in the Fairmount area for three years now, and have been a professional animal caregiver for about 8 years total. I’ve previously worked at NYC's main animal shelter as an adoption counselor and foster parent for a long time, and feel comfortable working with animals with anxiety, leash reactivity, allergies, medications, or that require other special care, and always work them with the utmost patience. Though a lot of my clients tend towards the smaller side, I love our bigger buddies, too! I offer a very personalized care experience for your fur baby- all dogs are walked and cared for individually, never with other clients simultaneously. And when your pet is in my care, they are my absolutely priority focus! I am a hands on, eyes on, camera on constantly sitter- you will receive plenty of photo updates and confirmation on your pets well being. My schedule is completely self-made, so I often have last minute availability and a lot of flexibility when it comes to scheduling! I understand just how much we love and care for our pets (my dog Moby is like My son), and I always make sure to give yours the affection, attention, and playtime you would while you're gone! Currently, the majority of my work is freelance editing, so my schedule is flexible and typically quite open. I have full week availability, especially for walks- even last minute bookings! I have a small, fenced backyard big enough for casual play and outdoor lounging, and a large main living area with space for fetch and plenty of cozy cuddle room on my big, pet friendly couch! My little guy, Moby, is a 3 year old Morkie who is sweet, playful, and adjusts well to other animals’ energy preferences.

About: My family has relied on me doing drop ins and over night visits to care for their animals for years, including dogs, puppies, cats and rabbits! I am available Monday through Friday, before 2pm for drop ins and walks! All day Saturday or Sunday depending on what day works best for you just check in with me with your schedule! My animals have always been my furbabies and get presents for their birthdays every year and have parties for them and everything. They are usually on lead/leash or unable to get away with closed doors/gates to keep them safe.

“Louise left the house tidy and did a great job caring for our pack! We received many photos while away and she was quick to communicate if an issue arose.”

About: What sets me apart is my attention to detail, reliability, and healthcare background as a registered nurse. I understand the importance of following routines, monitoring for changes in behavior, and providing safe, compassionate care. I am comfortable caring for pets of all ages, including kittens and senior cats, and can administer medications if needed. I treat every pet as if they were my own and provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pets are in good hands As a registered nurse, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide dependable pet care throughout the week. Caring for animals has always been a part of my daily routine, and I enjoy spending time feeding, playing with, and checking in on pets. I make it a priority to ensure each pet receives attentive, loving care and maintains their normal routine while their owners are away. I have two golden-doodles, which are crate trained. They are allowed to run freely outside but they know where they are and aren't allowed. I keep them on a schedule, meaning with going outside, playing, and feeding.
