House Sitting in Putnam Valley

About: I have 3 cats and 2 mice, so I have a lot of experience taking care of cats and small animals. I love dogs and have pet-sat for my friends with small and medium size dogs I work a full time job Monday - Friday. I am available to do drop-ins before 7:30am or after 4:30 pm on weekdays. I am always available in the evenings or weekends. I will follow whatever guidelines the owner's give. Otherwise, my base care is to give dogs 2 walks a day and at least 30 minutes of playtime for both dogs and cats. Ensure the pets are fed and gone potty/clean litterboxes.

“Catherine was very caring towards Stevie while we were away. She texted with concerns, was willing to help however she could and sent updates and pictures throughout the week.”

“Stephanie is my go-to cat-sitter when I am away. She is reliable and attentive ensuring my cats needs are met. She is especially patient with mealtime as both my fur babies can be picky and need extra encouragement to eat. Not only is she great with my cats, but she is also a pleasure to work with and trustworthy. I feel safe leaving my home in her care. And I love that she sends pictures and updates. I will always book with her and highly recommend her services.”

“Yet again—best dog sitter ever! On top of her usual excellent caretaking of our dogs and our home, she went above and beyond with some last minute extra help.”

“Isabella took care of our German Shorthair Pointer, Bremen, at our home while we were on vacation in Hawaii. She took him on regular walks on and off leash. She fed him and provided companionship. She gave us regular updates including pictures which helped us feel at ease. She was available for check in phone calls if needed. When we returned, Bremen was relaxed and looked great. We would definitely ask Isabella to take care of our dog again.”

“Nicole was fantastic! Our dog Juniper loved having her spend a night with her. I felt very comfortable having her in our home and taking care of our girl. When she had to leave while we were in our way home, she was sure to leave the TV on for our dog, it was a great touch of care. We know she listened to the little details we spoke about during our introduction. We will definitely be using Nicole again!”

“Sammantha is our go-to care taker for our rat terrier Indy. She is very responsive and treats Indy like one of her own. Indy loves when Sammantha comes to visit. Highly recommended!”

“Melissa was everything we could have asked for in someone responsible for our pups and home while we were away. We have two dogs, each with their quirks. It was clear the first time Melissa met them that they were going to be well-cared for. It was equally clear that our home was going to be in good hands. Communication with Melissa while we were away was easy, and she sent us periodic pictures of the pups that made us smile. We also returned later than expected (by hours, not days), and she generously stayed later to make sure the dogs weren't alone without being able to go out too long. Melissa is personable, responsible, patient, and easily managed our very different dogs. When we got home they were happy, healthy and our house was in great shape. Next time we go away and need a house sitter, we would be delighted if she is available again.”

“I cannot recommend Natasha for pet sitting enough! She watched my dog several times and whenever I came for pick up my dog didn't want to leave Natasha! Natasha has a huge yard to keep your pet active and understands how to care for animals. I recommend Natasha for ANY pet sitting needs, including overnight stays! If you are looking for a dog sitter, reach out to Natasha today she is literally the best ever!”

“amazing dog sitter, our boy was happy and not even remotely anxious like he usually is when we leave. It’s clear he really cared and we couldn’t ask for anything better!”

“Collin and Hayden were great! They met us a few days before and our dog Leti loved them. I showed them around the home and our usual dog walk route, and they arrived promptly at the appointed time. I received photos of Leti being all happy throughout the day, and when I came home Leti loved them so much, she jumped up to give them full face licks of joy! I would happily book them again and recommend them to anyone else. As the parents of two dogs themselves they really know how to take care of dogs and make them feel all the love.”

“Allie was great! She kept me updated throughout the day with photos and videos of all my dogs. She truly went above and beyond in every sense to make sure my dogs were well cared for and was attentive to every little detail. I would absolutely recommend Allie to anyone. I really felt good that my dogs were in good hands all day.”

“Maria is dependable and reliable. Answered all my worried questions! She has a calming presence which is just what my very anxious 90lbs Great Pyr needed! I would definitely recommend her!!!”

“Excelent service, now I know who would take care of my family pets when I am away. My dogs and cat where really comfortable with CeCe from day one. I am really happy with the service and the follow up pictures she sent me while I was away. She communicated with me at all times which I appreciate. Also my house was well taken care off.”

“Haley has been coming to our house every week for the last 7 years to medicate and play with our dogs. Pancho is a very reactive dog, and Haley is fantastic with him-calm and patient. She loves our dogs like they are her own. She’s always happy to come over if we can’t be home for pill-time. She’s the only person I trust to care for our dogs when we go away in the summer. I can’t say enough good things about her! I could write a book. Anyone would be lucky to have her to care for their pets.”

“Erica is a fantastic stand in dog mom! She just takes so much care in doing the best she can to keep things "normal" for your pups while youre gone, which is especially important for my younger two who are still pressing the boundaries :D. And you get a ton of pics too! Definitely would recommend 150%!”

“Brant was awesome and we would love to book him again. He was really easy to communicate with, sent us photos everyday, didn’t hesitate to take on tasks to help us out and le”

“We had Catherine watch our dog and cat overnight. Everything went well and everything was fine upon return. She didn’t mind that Chloe was barking at her like crazy upon arrival and all soon calmed down. Would use her again.”

About: I have grown up around animals all my life. From guinea pigs, to parakeets, hamsters, and many more. I have experience working in a kennel, and as of now, I have 8 dogs at home and I share a 1 year old puppy with my significant other. I am currently a nanny throughout the week (Tuesday through Thursday) but have availability other days for drop ins, walks, feedings, boarding, and other services. I have a fenced in backyard, I live on a private road with a cul de sac, and if your pet is not well around other animals, they will be in a separate area. I also am totally open to pets laying on my bed and furniture.

About: I grew up having dogs! My family had the sweetest golden retriever growing up. She loved going for walks and loved meeting new people. We took care of her through an injury and arthritis which made walking challenging. My family got another dog who is a giant mix rescue with a very different temperament. She is terrified of new people and hates the mailman but I have worked with her to interact with others and work through some of her fears. I have also spent a lot of time with friends and family dogs and have dog sat a few times, too. I am looking for summer care options as I will have free time since I am a full-time teacher. I would be able to help out during the day. I am a reliable person who takes care of people's property. I will follow all instructions left by owners and do everything I can for their fur babies. I can walk, feed, and clean up after pets.
