House Sitting in Poughquag

“Stephen watched our dog Banjo in our home while we were away for 4 days. He seems to have lots of experience and very knowledgeable about dogs. He kept in touch with us about his comings and goings and sent us photos and videos of Banjo. Both Banjo and the house look clean and well cared for. Would use him again and recommend him to others.”

“Erik was fantastic! He was punctual, dependable and took great care of my dog Brooklyn who has severe separation anxiety. Will definitely book him again!”

“Our fur family was in great hands with Abbey. Everyone had their walks, meals, and cuddles on time, and we got lots of photos which made us relax while were away. Thank you!”

“Zach is wonderful! He truly understands dogs and cares deeply about their well-being. I’m a K9 detection dog handler and left my working K9 in his care. From start to finish, Zach’s communication was excellent—he checked in before, during, and after the house sit. I got lots of photos of my dog doing all the things- playing, resting, watching the world go by. He asked all the right questions during our meet and greet, which gave me confidence that my dog was in professional, caring hands. When I returned, my pup was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. I couldn’t recommend Zach more highly.”

“Kevin's great! He's taken care of Shadow before and come to meet the boys before hand. He had no problem syringe feeding our senior until we could be home to hand feed him, and he took great care of the boys. Sent pictures/ updates. The best.”

“Jennifer jumped in last minute while I was in a pinch and cared well for my cat and listened well to all my instructions. I’d recommend her!”

About: What sets me apart from other dog sitters is my personalized, detail-oriented approach and genuine love for each dog I care for. I don’t just “watch” pets I bond with them, learning their routines, quirks, and comforts so they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s sticking to a strict medication schedule, sending daily updates with photos, or going the extra mile on a rainy walk, I treat every pup and home as if they were my own. With me, you're not just hiring a sitter you're gaining a trustworthy companion for your dog and peace of mind for yourself. As a part-time worker with a flexible schedule, I’m able to give your dog the time, attention, and care they truly deserve. I’m not rushing between commitments I have the freedom to tailor my day around your dog’s needs, whether that means mid-day walks, extra playtime, or simply being present to keep them company. This flexibility allows me to provide consistent, attentive care that fits seamlessly into your dog’s routine and keeps them comfortable while you’re away. Whether your pet stays in my home or I care for them in yours, their comfort and well-being are my top priorities. In my home, pets enjoy a safe, calm, and cozy environment with plenty of love, playtime, and personalized attention. I keep routines consistent from feeding schedules to favorite toys to help them feel right at home. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I maintain their familiar surroundings and daily rhythms while also keeping your space clean, secure, and well looked after. Either way, your pet will be treated like family, and you’ll receive regular updates so you can relax knowing they’re in loving hands.

“We were lucky to find Nikki a few weeks before our trip to France. She is smart, capable and loving to our dogs - she even let them swim in the pond, played frisbee and bonded w our nervous, one-eyed rescue. And our dogs are 80lb, high energy 6yr olds. Nikki took great care of our home too, even dealing with a power outage out here halfway up a mountain. Great job Nikki, thank you!”

About: I am a cat mom to 3 goofy cats and have grown up around animals my entire life. I just moved out of my parents house where we share a beautiful family dog. I have always grown up with Golden Retrievers and love to play with energetic dogs! I regularly dog-sat my neighbors Rottie and am very comfortable with large breeds. I would be happy to spend some time hanging out with your furry best friend :) This availability is flexible :) Weekdays I’m available before 11am and after 3pm or anytime Friday. Weekends my availability varies however, I am often able to move my personal schedule around to accommodate. Please reach out with any questions :) I am a very patient person and always keep a positive attitude around animals. I want my cats to feel safe and trust who is handling them and I want that for your pets too! So I will always treat your pet with the same adoration and respect that I would expect for my own furry friends!
