House Sitting in Nyack

“Julia was a perfect fit for our dog. He was healthy and happy when we came home - she was spot on giving him all his medications. She even got him outside to see some old friends ;-).”

“We had Bianca watch our pup while we were away for the weekend getting married. Our pup is dog aggressive and we are always very nervous to leave her with new people that aren’t family, but we can confidently say Bianca is now our number one choice when we need a sitter!! She was communicative, took such good care of Freya and was so cautious about her needs. Not once did I worry about our pup! 10/10 cannot recommend enough !!!!”

About: For 6 years I have had experience house-sitting for families on vacations, and caring lovingly and responsibly for everything from dogs (both large and small), cats, birds, lizards, and fish! Currently working part time as I pursue a career in the art field (I am a painter as well as a writer of fiction). My schedule is extremely flexible as I can work my time spent drawing and painting around the needs of your times requested for the needs of your pets :_ I do not offer pet care in my own home, so my services would be strictly based to either care in the client's home, and/or dog walks. I have much experience with safe dog crating, feeding, and being on alert for resource guarding.

“Eric was an amazing sitter for Luna! We received daily updates of videos and pictures. It was the first time she wasn’t being taken care of by immediate family. Our girl is a fussy little eater but Eric was generously patient with our feeding requirement which needed boiled chicken on the daily. He walked and gave her all the play time she wanted. She got even more spoiled! He even ran out and got her extra Greenies and wet food when her supply ran out! We will definitely be asking Eric to watch her again when we can’t bring her with us. What a relief all around that we found such a great sitter!!”

About: 🐾 Lifelong Caregiver | Dog, Cat, & Exotic Expert | Detail-Oriented 🌿 About Me: Animals have always been my world. From growing up with dogs to becoming a dedicated cat parent of 6 years, I provide calm, reliable care for every personality. I’m a "routine specialist" who manages 50+ plants, so I’m wired to follow your feeding and medical instructions to the letter. Experience & Services: • Dogs: Lifelong walker experienced in everything from neighborhood strolls to vigorous hikes. • Cats: Expert in kitten care, shy cats, and multi-cat households. • Exotics: Comfortable with rabbits, fish, and even goats! • The Extras: I pride myself on punctuality, high-quality photos, and detailed report cards. Based in Tarrytown. Whether it’s a midday walk, a cat drop-in, or an overnight stay, your pets (and plants!) are in expert hands. As a Product Designer working from a home office, my schedule is incredibly flexible. Because I’m not tied to a traditional 9-to-5 commute, I can easily structure my day around your pet's specific needs rather than squeezing them into a lunch break. My typical routine includes: • Morning & Mid-Day: I use my flexible 'deep work' hours to take breaks for neighborhood walks or drop-in visits. This allows me to be available during the high-demand midday window when most owners are at work. • Weekly Consistency: Since I work from home in Tarrytown full-time, I am a reliable option for recurring weekly schedules. I don’t have to worry about office meetings or travel suddenly changing my availability. • The Designer’s Eye: My profession requires high attention to detail, a skill I bring to pet care by closely following routine instructions, monitoring health/behavior changes, and sending you well-composed photo updates! Whether it's a quick 20-minute check-in or a long walk, my 'home-base' setup ensures I’m always nearby and ready to help. With 8+ years of dog walking experience and 6+ years of being a dedicated cat parent to our cats Luna and Bubba, I’ve built my life around understanding animal behavior. My approach is rooted in the belief that a calm environment and a consistent routine are the keys to a happy pet. Safety First, Always: Safety is my non-negotiable priority. For dogs, this means double-checking harness fits, practicing 'active walking' (staying aware of surroundings/distractions), and ensuring paws are protected from Tarrytown’s winter salt. For cats, I am hyper-vigilant about 'door dashing' and ensuring all windows and entry points are secure before and after I leave. Building Trust Through Patience: I understand that trust isn't given; it’s earned. • For Dogs: I use positive reinforcement and clear communication to build a bond. • For Cats: I specialize in 'low-stress' handling. I let timid cats come to me at their own pace, utilizing my experience with shy rescues to ensure they never feel cornered or overwhelmed. A Controlled & Healthy Environment: Whether I am in your home or mine, I maintain a 'pet-proof' space. • In Your Home: I respect your space and keep it exactly as you left it. Being a parent to 50+ plants, I am also uniquely qualified to ensure your pets stay away from any non-pet-safe greenery. • Health Monitoring: My experience with medications (like Atopica) means I’m always looking for subtle shifts in behavior, appetite, or bathroom habits that might indicate a health change. I am deeply passionate about animals, and I treat every client’s pet with the same meticulous care, love, and routine-focused attention that I give my own.

“Liz is absolutely fantastic! My dogs loved her and she went out of her way to ensure they were comfortable and happy while I was away! She even found an amazing channel called The Pet Collective that she put on for the pups and they loved it! I highly recommend her services, she is extremely friendly, professional and incredible with my pets! Thanks Liz! The fur babies and I will see you again soon!”

“Christy was an amazing dog sitter! She provided regular updates and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. One of my dogs has diabetes and needs insulin twice a day; Christy was able to administer the insulin no problem. I knew my dogs were happy and well cared for with Christy. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate dog sitter!”

About: I’ve pet sat for neighbors’ dogs of all ages since high school, and I’m comfortable with daily walks, feeding, playtime, and cleaning up waste. I’m also very routine-focused—I stick closely to your dog’s schedule so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I grew up with a mutt who recently passed, so I understand how important it is to have someone trustworthy, lovin, and caring for your dog. I’ll treat your pup like my own and provide daily updates with photos, plus quick notes on meals and how their day went. My schedule is very flexible, which allows me to accommodate a variety of pet care needs. I work Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons into early evenings, and Sunday mornings into early afternoon. Outside of those hours, I’m available for walks, drop-ins, feeding, playtime, and extended visits. I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and provide consistent care, along with daily updates and photos so you feel confident while you’re away. 🐾📸 When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walking routines, and any household rules you have in place. I make sure your pet always has fresh water, a clean space, and plenty of attention and comfort. For dogs, I’m careful with leash safety, door safety, and picking up waste on every walk. For cats, I keep litter boxes clean, make sure doors and windows stay secure, and respect their comfort level—whether they want playtime or quiet companionship.

“Ellie did a fantastic job caring for our dog while we were out for the evening. She sent updates on how he was doing throughout the night to keep our minds at ease, and she was extremely understanding and patient when he had an accident before we left. We highly recommend Ellie to anyone looking for a pet sitter in the area!”

About: With over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and other animals, I provide loving, reliable, and attentive pet sitting services. I’ve worked with pets of all ages and temperaments, including seniors and those with special needs, ensuring they feel safe and happy while you're away. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I prioritize morning walks, midday check-ins, and evening playtime, ensuring pets receive consistent attention and affection. Weekends often include longer outings or special enrichment activities, making sure each pet feels loved and engaged throughout the week. In my home, pets enjoy a safe, clean, and cozy environment with plenty of playtime, cuddles, and routine care. In clients’ homes, I follow their specific instructions closely—maintaining feeding schedules, administering medications if needed, and keeping pets comfortable in their familiar surroundings. I treat every pet like family, ensuring they feel secure and loved.

About: I’ve worked under great trainers in daycare settings. I’ve worked with many different breeds and learning how to redirect bad behavior into positives. I’ve worked with boarding for older dogs and have become familiar with different medications as well as being able to administer them. I have experience with a company that did drop ins, house sittings, & dog walks. I’m currently working a full time job that ends at 5:30-6pm. I’m available to assist with the your pup on weekends or after 6pm! I’m willing to work with you to meet your needs. I make sure to be very well informed of any medications, any reoccurring behaviors so I am fully prepared to assist with your pet. I’m respectful of your home & will be spending the best time with your pet! If you are looking to reinforce any training I’d like to know to help with that process. I’d like to be aware of any allergies in case I have treats (: However I can help with your pet, it’ll be a pleasure! (:

“Rita was fantastic with my dog—caring, reliable, and attentive. Richard delivered great communication and kept everything running smoothly.”

“Becky was absolutely amazing with our 10-year-old dog while we were away for a week. She gave our dog her medication reliably and sent us frequent updates and photos. This was our first time leaving Nala with someone who was not our family or friends but Becky took care of our girl like family. On top of that, she went above and beyond by caring for our home and helping with things like bringing in our packages while away. We came back to a happy, healthy pup and a clean home—couldn’t recommend her more!”

Jacquellena C.

“Ellie watched our two dogs for the day. She was great! Very responsive, kind, arrived on time, sent us photos cuddling with our pets and sent updates throughout the stay. I would highly recommend!”

“We can't express our gratitude for Matthew! He took such good care of Snoop and Martha while we were gone and put all our minds at ease. Thanks so much, Matthew!”

“Yhakerra was so attentive and extremely caring towards both my fur babies. It was not easy either because both my kitties are in separate spaces of the house due to one of them chasing the other and hissing/growling. However, Yhakerra did amazing and handled the separate feedings/litter cleanings like a pro. She also left the house very clean and immaculate. She was even so caring that she asked if she could carry the youngest baby, Luna to the bedroom and let her sleep in the bed, which of course I was so touched that she was so sweet to accommodate the well being of the babies. She had to move her litterbox and food bowls. I highly recommend Yhakerra and will be booking her again in the future. Thank you so much Yhakerra, I’m so thankful to have had you care for my babies.”

About: Experience with large and small dogs, from rambunctious puppy wrangling to being tackled by big pups. I love them all, and am very good at understanding dog signals. I have no trouble walking strong dogs that like to pull, and I do not get frustrated by dogs. They have feelings, just like us, and I treat them as equals. I have experience with old dogs with physical needs and ailments, and tending to those needs. I had a small dog that was blind and nearly deaf, and I would steer him from danger and help him feel safe and comfortable. I also now have a big dog who was very naughty as a puppy, but I was able to train him patiently and well and now he's a big sweetheart.

About: I have a genuine love for animals with over 25 years experience in personally caring for Dogs, Cats, Small Animals, Reptiles and so much more. I am available full time to care for all types of pets, I am looking to turn my endless love for animals into a career. I pay attention to detail with each individual pets needs, I am able to administer medication if needed and accommodate any other special needs or requests the pet owners may have.

“Tatiana was so amazing. She was flexible, caring and professional. My dog had a great time with her and I would definitely request her to be a dog sitter again.”
