House Sitting Newfield

“Nicole is a pro! She is calm and caring and my dogs were happy and relaxed. She is a very good communicator in planning a stay and during the stay. We had a good meet and greet and she kept in touch every day while I was away. She listened carefully to all details for meds and other needs. She took such good care of the dogs and my home. I will definitely recontact her in future and highly recommend her as a pet and house sitter.”

“Shannon is a responsible, kind and trustworthy caretaker of Ziggy, our doodle. She was very attentive of Ziggy, helpful in preparing his meals (which involves cooking), and sent me plenty of updates. Ziggy is not a dog who trusts easily, but he loved Shannon from the get go. Shannon stayed at my house for a few nights and was a lovely house guest. I am relieved to have found her and cannot say enough great things about her!”

“Carrigan took great care of Sadie. She was on time and in touch with us regularly while we were away. Sadie was happy to see us and Sadie was well taken care of in our absence. I recommend her and we will re-book with her next time we are away.”

About: Hi, I’m Lindsay! I’m a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs with a variety of personalities, needs, and energy levels. I understand that every dog is unique, and I love creating a safe, comfortable, and positive experience for each animal I care for. I’m also a proud rescue dog owner to my Chihuahua Jack Russell mix, who has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and understanding each dog’s individual personality. Through my own experience, I’ve learned how important it is to build trust, create a sense of security, and provide compassionate care. I have experience with daily walks, drop-in visits, feeding routines, playtime, administering medications, and providing attentive companionship. I’m responsible, detail-oriented, and committed to following each pet parent’s instructions closely to maintain their dog’s normal routine. Whether your pup needs an energetic walk, a calm visit, medication support, or simply some extra love and attention while you’re away, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for. I’d love the opportunity to meet your pet and provide the dependable, loving care they deserve!

“So happy with Alexandra! She sent regular updates with photos and videos and our little Kiwi was very well taken care of! We will definitely book her again soon!”

“We came home to two happy and well cared for pups! Our previously booked sitter had to cancel a week before our trip, and we're very grateful to Hanaya for looking after them on such short notice!”

About: What sets me apart is the genuine care and attention I give every pet. I’m an animal lover who understands that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. My goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m reliable, patient, and committed to following your pet’s routine, whether that means walks, playtime, feeding, medication, or extra cuddles. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and care. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know your pet is happy and in good hands. I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I’m currently part time working! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because animals are a big part of my life. I make time each day for feeding, playtime, walks, attention, and making sure pets feel comfortable and cared for. Since I have two cats of my own, I understand the importance of keeping a consistent routine and providing companionship, even when owners are away. I’m able to incorporate pet care into my schedule by dedicating time for visits, walks, check-ins, and giving each pet the attention they need. I enjoy spending time with animals and love being able to provide reliable, loving care for pets and peace of mind for their owners. I care for pets by creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment while respecting their normal routines. In a client’s home, I make sure to follow their instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, playtime, walks, and any special needs their pet may have. I understand that pets feel most comfortable when their routines stay consistent, so I do my best to make the experience as stress-free as possible. If caring for pets in my own home, I provide a clean, calm space where they can feel comfortable and receive plenty of attention, affection, and care. Whether at my home or a client’s, I treat every pet like they are my own and make sure they feel safe and loved.

About: I love all pets. I’ve taken care of over seven different dogs ranging from 8 weeks old to 15+. I’ve administered medication orally and topical long walks and assistance after medical procedures. I do not do boarding in my own home. 100% in the comfort of your own home please do not hesitate to reach out for any questions! I am very flexible for any pet care for any questions. Feel free to reach out. I’m available at all times of day and night to make sure our babies are okay I have a dog and cat we feed both twice a day the correct amount needed for them. Our dog goes on a daily walk. Other client care I do whatever the pet parent needs and wants to ensure the safety of their pet and whatever they are comfortable with.

“Cinthia was amazing. She stayed overnight with my dog at my apartment and was super attentive and sent lots of pictures. She left the apartment very clean and my dog very happy. Nothing but positive things to say.”

About: I’ve cared for a wide variety of dogs and cats, including pit bulls, golden retrievers, poodles, senior dogs, and tabby cats. I’ve also cared for pets with medication and dietary needs, including both oral and injectable medications. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. Whether that means a long walk, plenty of play and attention, sticking closely to their feeding routine, or simply giving a nervous or senior pet some extra patience, I’m happy to adapt to their individual needs. I’ll keep you updated with how your pet is doing and treat your pet with the same care and attention I’d want for my own. I currently work evening shifts at my family’s restaurant in Darien, so I’m generally available for pet care during the mornings and afternoons, as well as some evenings. My work schedule does not interfere with housesitting, and I’m able to provide attentive care throughout the day and overnight. For walks and drop-in visits, I’m happy to work around my evening schedule and coordinate times that work best for you and your pet. I have a fenced-in yard and a very docile and friendly golden retriever. She’s 11 and gets along with every animal she meets. When taking care of a pet at client’s homes, I prioritize leaving it in the same or better condition than I found it.

“I cannot recommend Melanie enough. She looked after our senior dog while we were on an extended trip overseas. I received numerous photographs of him looking healthy, happy and loved, and his affection for her was obvious on our return home. Melanie kept our house immaculate and also maintained good contact with us while we were away. She is extremely responsive to emails, punctual, and has an excellent work ethic. I felt extremely comfortable while away knowing Chessie was in her care. THANK YOU!!!!”

“We felt very safe and comfortable leaving our girl with Nicole for the weekend. She sent updates every day and let us know when she ate her medication every time. Will definitely rebook!”

About: I'm Steven, a former science teacher who turned a lifelong love of animals into full-time pet care. I've cared for my own dogs for years (John, a Yorkie, and Lucy, my senior Chihuahua) and have looked after friends' and neighbors' dogs, cats, and small pets for as long as I can remember. I'm Fear Free Certified and Red Cross Pet First Aid & CPR certified, and I'm fully insured and bonded. Teaching taught me patience, routine, and how to read what someone needs when they can't say it in words, which is exactly what good pet care takes. Every booking is handled personally by me, so you'll always know who's showing up at your door. I do this full-time, so your pet is a priority, not a side gig. For house sitting I keep your pet on their normal routine, same feeding times, walks, and bedtime, and I send photo and text updates throughout so you can relax while you're away. I follow feeding and medication instructions exactly (I give my own senior dog his meds on a strict schedule, so I take it seriously). Every booking starts with a free meet & greet so your pet and I are comfortable before anything is confirmed. Since I come to you, your pet stays in their own home, familiar surroundings, their own bed and yard, which keeps them calmest, especially seniors and anxious pets. I treat your home with respect: doors locked, mail brought in, plants watered if you'd like, everything left as I found it. I have two dogs of my own, John, a Yorkie, and Lucy, a senior Chihuahua, so I'm comfortable with everything from high-energy pups to gentle senior care.

“If you want to leave your dogs with someone and never worry at all about their mental well-being, their feeding needs, their exercise then you need to hire Jesse as your sitter. He's taken my care of my dogs for many days and I will say there is no better. Not only were my dogs, completely relaxed and happy, but my house was also immaculate and every instruction was followed to the tee, including the complicated medical things that one of my dog needs to have followed. Jesse is all around the best I've had!”

“Anastasia dog sat our dachshund for 2 weeks and I couldn’t have felt more comfortable. She is warm and friendly and a great communicator. She spent a lot of time with our dog during the day which is what we wanted and he actually seemed tired when we returned which was a relief and we were happy he wasn’t in his crate for long stretches. Our dog really loved her and I loved getting pictures of them snuggling on the couch. I was able to relax and not worry about his care and him being left in crate unstimulated for most of our time away which made me so happy. Our dog can be nervous at first with new people and she patient with him. Highly recommend and will use again!”

“Me and my husband were worry to leave Chloe for 14 days but Ashley and Mauricio were absolutely amazing! They stayed at my house with Chloe and they took amazing care of her! They sent me a lot of photos and videos and I can tell she misses them already! Thank you s much for taking such great care of Chloe! You deserve more than 5 stars ?”

Andreina T.

“Vladimir is the best! I was really anxious about leaving our dogs for the first time in a long time, but he is basically the dog whisperer. On first meeting, our dog Rocket, who is very nervous and avoids people, approached him in the first few minutes. We got daily photo updates and some nice professional shots at the end. They had a great time and I was completely at ease knowing they were in good hands. Will definitely hire him again! THANK YOU!”

About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of different ages, sizes, and temperaments. My experience includes daily walks, feeding, administering medications, playtime, overnight care, crate training support, and maintaining regular routines to help pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual needs and personality, whether that means high-energy exercise, extra patience with shy pets, or senior pet care. I understand the importance of reliability, communication, and providing updates with photos so owners feel confident their pets are in good hands. I’m comfortable handling multiple pets at once and following specific care instructions, including dietary restrictions, medications, and exercise schedules. My goal is always to create a calm, loving, and safe environment for every pet I care for. With an open schedule, I'm able to give pets plenty of attention, consistent care, and flexible availability for last minute walks, drop ins and overnight stays. I treat all pets as cherished family members and provide attentive, experienced care tailored to each pet’s individual needs. My experience includes caring for senior pets, diabetic pets, and animals with special needs, ensuring they receive compassionate, reliable, and knowledgeable support. I understand that your pets are treasured members of your family, and I care for them with the same patience, respect, and love I would give my own.
