House Sitting in Ridgewood

“If there’s one person who can make a pack of Basset Hounds look like a well-organized dog parade, it’s Shelby. Not only does she breed these long-eared goofballs with love and care, but she somehow manages to keep them looking spotless despite their absolute commitment to rolling in mud. Shelby’s Basset Hound farm is basically Hogwarts for floppy-eared pups—magical, a little chaotic, but always impressive. Trust her to turn your slobbery, droopy-eared furball into a canine superstar. I highly recommend shelby’s caregiving and love of dogs.”

“Great with our dog! He’s a 90 lbs husky/malamute who gets daily medication and a special diet. Kelly was excellent with him! She was great with the medication instructions and feeding, took him on long daily walks, and was very caring towards him! I would 100% book with Kelly again”

“I can’t recommend Shawna enough! She’s incredibly gentle, kind, and truly loves all animals. My dog absolutely adores her! Shawna is patient and caring. She is like a fairy dog-mother. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pet like family, Shawna’s the one.”

“Yvonne and Jim took amazing care of our 3 furbabies and on top left our home immaculate. Mowed the lawn and watered our shrubs. We couldn’t be happier and our pups were too. We will use their services again. So nice to find people we can trust”

“We felt great leaving our dog with Laura. She was communicative and respectful of our house. We are looking forward to having her stay again soon!”

“Carly was AMAZING! My boys are great with strangers but I could tell they looked forward to seeing her the whole time she was watching them. I didnt mind if she spent a ton of time with them to try and make sure they weren’t too high maintenance but she spent lots of time snuggling them, and giving them toys when she came over. Very quick and great communication. I would absolutely recommend her for your babies!”

“Rebecca took great care of my dog and 2 cats. I felt berry confident leaving them in her capable hands!”

“Adam did a great job with Jett! He was very communicative and Jett seemed to have a ball. He also created some great graphics of Jett welcoming me home. Too cute!”

“Great updates and communication! We will rebook with Kelsey anytime we need a reliable sitter!”

“Katelynn was awesome! I completely trust her with both my pup and my home. She made sure my high energy dog had plenty of attention and activity and was a great communicator. Highly recommend.”

“Great communication, very friendly. Our pups loved her. Will definitely use her again for overnight stays.”

“Emma is a dependable house/pet sitter. She listens to understand your pet’s needs and pays close attention to detail. It is a pleasure to take a vacation and know your pet is being taken care of. Highly recommend”

“Sarah was absolutely PERFECT! Our pup was clearly taken care of and loved like she would have done if he was her own. She sent the perfect amount of communications and pictures. We felt completely comfortable that he was in the best hands ever! Thank you Sarah for being so wonderful! We look forward to seeing you many times in the future!”

“Melissa was amazing with my dog Sabre! We were gone for six days, she stayed in our house so he was comfortable. He was a rescue from a bad past so he can have anxiety over new situations. She sent updates throughout our trip and he looked totally relaxed when we got home!”

“Megan was great. She made sure Nemo was well taken care of and kept me in the loop on her schedule.”

“Geoffois is a very helpful animal caretaker. He loves all animals. I recommend him to care for all animals, dogs and cats. Very responsible and respectful.”

“Jillian was amazing! We had to leave to the UK for a ten day trip and we needed someone we could trust to watch our two dachshunds. I was very worried about leaving my senior dachshund especially because he takes medicine morning and night and has a history of IVDD. Jillian understood their routine right away and our dogs loved her! She's responsible, attentive and has great energy. She even fed my husband's fish and axolotl! She is great and we would use her again to take care of our doggies in a heartbeat!”

“Scott is a very caring and responsible pet lover and owner. I would very highly recommend him to be an excellent pet sitter and caretaker. Liz M”

“I want to let anyone looking for a reliable, caring and responsible pet sitter or dog walker know how great Samantha is. She is wonderful with animals and so very caring and compassionate, I trust her with my dog after she took care of him at Doggie Daycare for several years. Seeing her handle such a large dog with anxiety and getting to know her during that time I have such high praise for her. My dog is my family and I don’t take his care lightly.”
