House Sitting Rye

About: Love dogs all kind. First I pet seat my friend’s dogs when they were away. Then I got my own dog. Alaska is a 34 lbs pomsky. She is very playful and would like a company. I can take your dog to a dog park or the dog beach. Both of those amenities are next to my house. Moreover I have small fenced yard for playing with bunch of balls.I work from home , so have a lot free time to pet sit fur babies and take them for plenty of walks. If you are away for a short trip, book your pet a bed and breakfast inn in my house. I will take care of your furry friend either at my house or yours. Currently work from home. Very flexible. However prefer drop offs and pick ups in mornings. If pick up after 3 pm addition charge may apply I have fenced yard where. I can let dogs out for quick pee and play if needed. However I take them on walks at least 2 times a day. If good weather, I may take them to the dog park or rye beach

“Catie was so wonderful to our pup during our weekend away! She came over in advance for a meet and greet and to understand the routines, sent regular updates, and administered oral medicine! We’d be happy to have her back anytime she’s available!”

“Jennifer took great care of our puppy while we were away for the weekend. When we came back, he was happy yet calm, which makes me feel like she was a great comfort to him while we were away. She sent updates every day (just the right amount of communication- neither too much nor too little). Our home was exactly as we had left it- so Jennifer did an excellent job of keeping him from destroying our house ☺️”

“I’m not kidding, I’m tempted to gatekeep but won’t because Alyssa deserves all the love and dog jobs in the world. Seriously, best dog sitter ever. Thoughtful, sent daily summaries and photos, my reactive dog was so HAPPY!!! I feel truly lucky to have found her. 10/10. She is the best. Will rebook again and again and again as long as she wants to keep watching pups.”

Sarah B.

“Brandon completely went above and beyond to care for our two cats and home while we were gone for a week and a half! He asked thoughtful questions, followed all directions to a T, and often sent some greatly appreciated picture/video updates (and prompt responses). We were SO grateful to return home to find our cats in amazing spirits after clearly having some solid companionship, and to find our house exactly as we left it. Would absolutely book with him again!”

Laura J.

“Dagmar was our house-sitter for a weekend and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. She took excellent care of our dog and cat and the house was just as we left it. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her services.”

About: Hi! I am a junior at Cornell University home for the summer and I love animals. My own cat is named Tucker who is quite the high maintenance cat, but has given me lots of experience nonetheless. I have experience walking dogs and I also cat sit for other clients. I have administered oral medication for cats before. I am punctual and reliable, and I would love to help out you and your pet! I am currently taking a college class so I will be available to play, walk, or take care of your pet after 3 pm throughout the week. Most weekends I am available all day, and can do multiple visits or walks a day. I will be very respectful of your home while making sure your fur baby is as comfortable as possible! If they like their food a certain way, love blanket forts, or just having company, I am more than happy cater to their normal routine!

“Claudia was wonderful for her overnight visit with my senior dog at my apartment. It was my first time having someone stay at my place with my dog, and she was an incredibly respectful and polite house guest, sent so many pictures of Maple, and kept me updated throughout the stay. You can completely trust her with your pet and in your home!”

Irene P.

“Vladimir took wonderful care of my dog Maverick! He was very patient with many of Maverick’s quirks and fears and took him on lots of walks. He also made sure to send pictures and updates throughout the day for the entire time I was gone which was much appreciated - I never had to worry when I was away. On top of that, he left my place spotless. Maverick and I will definitely be using Vladimir again - thank you thank you!”

Ally M.

“Jasmine did a great job with our schnauzer. She took him for walks and kept us in the loop with texts and pics without going overboard. I think Murphy was sad when we got home!”

About: I’ve been around cats and dogs my whole life. I’m patient, observant, and great with all ages—from playful puppies to senior pets who need a gentler, consistent routine. I have a very flexible schedule and would love to fill my time caring for pets. I'm reliable, responsive, and able to adjust to your pet’s routine. While I can’t care for pets at my home, I would love to provide walks, drop-ins, and in-home sitting following your whatever works best for your pet.

“Shannon was a great sitter for our holiday weekend out of town! She is very friendly and responded quickly. She sent a bunch of photos which made us feel more at ease leaving our babies at home. She also helped watering the flowers and garden outside. We are happy with her service and would gladly hire her again.”

Lauren H.

“I found Tenielle’s page on a whim and I am so glad I did! She watched my newly adopted rescue dog last minute and she was lovely. Tenielle made sure my pet was comfortable and made sure to go at her pace since she is timid with new people. She also sent pictures throughout the day of the two of them relaxing which is always nice to see!”

About: Animals have always been a major part of my life, and today I work full-time providing dependable, hands-on pet care throughout Westchester County and lower Fairfield County. My goal is to give every dog more than a basic neighborhood walk—I focus on exercise, enrichment, socialization, training, and memorable adventures tailored to the individual dog. Each morning, seven days a week, I organize dog park outings at Paws Place at Ward Acres. These outings give compatible dogs an opportunity to run, play, explore, practice recall, and build healthy social skills in a supervised environment. I carefully consider each dog’s temperament, play style, energy level, and comfort around other dogs before including them in a group. I also offer adventure outings throughout Westchester and Greenwich. Tuesdays and Thursdays are generally my Cos Cob and Greenwich days, with later-morning hikes and park visits at places such as Montgomery Pinetum, Mianus River Park, and Pemberwick Park. Depending on the season, weather, location, and each dog’s needs, adventures may also include Tod’s Point, Rye Beach, Larchmont Dog Beach, Saxon Woods, Congress Street Park, Harrison Dog Park, Abendroth Dog Park, Crawford Park, the Leatherstocking Trail, Sheldrake Lake, and other dog-friendly trails, parks, and open spaces. Based in Rye Brook near Crawford Park, I have convenient access to local trails and green space for walks, enrichment, and individualized care. I also have limited flexibility for select overnight or extended-care arrangements when the dog is a good fit for my home environment, schedule, and existing pets. During the winter, I especially enjoy offering beach adventures at Rye Beach and Tod’s Point. I also visit Larchmont Dog Beach throughout the year. These outings give dogs open space, fresh air, and a stimulating change from their usual routines. Warmer-weather adventures often focus on shaded woodland trails, swimming opportunities, and park exploration. Every adventure is adapted to the individual dog. Activities may include structured leash walking, long-line exploration, hiking, swimming, fetch, recall practice, confidence building, supervised group play, and off-leash exercise where it is permitted, safe, and appropriate. Some dogs thrive during energetic pack adventures, while others benefit more from a quiet trail, slower sniff walk, or one-on-one training session. I come prepared for active outings with a dedicated dog-adventure backpack and organized vehicle setup. Depending on the activity, I carry Chuckit balls, a Chuckit launcher, tug and floating toys, treats, water, collapsible bowls, long lines, backup leashes, cleanup supplies, tick-removal tools, and basic grooming equipment. I also keep canine first-aid supplies, vet wrap, emergency equipment, visibility gear, and support slings available so I am better prepared for injuries, fatigue, changing weather, or unexpected situations on the trail. I am a GoodPup Certified Dog Trainer and use reward-based training methods adapted to each dog’s personality, motivation, and learning style. I regularly work on loose-leash walking, pulling, recall, jumping, puppy biting, door manners, impulse control, place training, confidence building, and calm behavior around people and dogs. I am especially comfortable helping dogs who resist walking, become overstimulated outdoors, or need clearer structure and encouragement. Safety is always my priority. I am confident handling dogs of different sizes, breeds, ages, strengths, and energy levels, including dogs with behavioral or medical considerations. I use appropriate equipment and adjust each outing according to the dog’s age, fitness, training level, weather, trail conditions, and individual needs. On hot days, I shorten strenuous activity, choose shaded routes, provide water, and substitute calmer enrichment when necessary. I have experience caring for puppies, senior pets, rescue animals, anxious dogs, strong pullers, and pets requiring medication or specialized routines. I provide detailed updates after visits so owners know where we went, what their dog enjoyed, how they behaved, and whether they ate, drank, peed, or pooped. My animal-care background extends well beyond dogs. Over the years, I have cared for cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, ferrets, freshwater and reef aquarium fish, and reptiles including tokay geckos, leopard geckos, skinks, veiled chameleons, and ball pythons. This diverse experience has given me a broad understanding of animal behavior, enrichment, husbandry, and the importance of following each pet’s established routine. At home, I share my life with Zelda, my four-year-old golden retriever, who will turn five on July 18, 2026, and Little Girl “LG,” my ten-year-old rescue cat. Caring for my own pets—and the many animals entrusted to me by local families—has reinforced my belief that excellent pet care requires patience, consistency, communication, preparation, sound judgment, and genuine affection. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in English and a Master of Public Health from the University of Maryland. My education has strengthened my communication skills, attention to detail, and commitment to the health and well-being of both pets and their people. Depending on your location and scheduling needs, I may be available for neighborhood walks, dog park runs, hiking adventures, beach outings, drop-in visits, training sessions, in-home pet sitting, and other personalized care arrangements for established clients. Whether your dog needs structured exercise, energetic group play, a peaceful woodland hike, confidence building, or individualized training support, I work to make every visit safe, engaging, and rewarding. Pet care is my full-time focus, and my weekly schedule is built around a steady group of regular walking, hiking, dog park, training, and drop-in clients throughout Westchester and lower Fairfield County. Most mornings begin with scheduled dog park outings at Paws Place at Ward Acres, followed by individual walks, trail adventures, and pet-care visits. Tuesdays and Thursdays are generally focused on Cos Cob and Greenwich, where I often spend the later morning hiking at Montgomery Pinetum, Mianus River Park, Pemberwick Park, or another nearby destination. My other routes typically include Rye Brook, Port Chester, Harrison, Rye, Mamaroneck, Larchmont, and surrounding communities. Dog-training sessions are generally scheduled after 5:00 p.m. on weekdays and throughout the weekend. This allows me to focus on my regular walking and adventure routes during the day while offering training at times when pet parents are more likely to be available and involved. Because I organize my schedule geographically, availability depends on the day, location, requested service, and the needs of my existing clients. I may be able to accommodate recurring walks, dog park runs, hikes, training sessions, drop-in visits, medication administration, cat care, and occasional extended-care arrangements. Advance notice is always helpful, although I will consider last-minute requests when my route allows. I tailor each visit to the individual pet rather than following a one-size-fits-all routine. Services may range from a quick potty break or medication visit to a structured walk, enrichment session, dog park outing, woodland hike, beach adventure, or private training session. Weather, age, health, temperament, and energy level are always taken into account. My priority is providing consistent, attentive, and dependable care while building lasting relationships with pets and their families. New clients are welcome to reach out so we can determine whether my schedule, service area, and approach are the right fit. Whether I’m caring for a pet in my Rye Brook home or in the comfort of their own familiar environment, I tailor their care to their established routine, personality, age, energy level, and individual needs. Care in my home is available on a limited, case-by-case basis for select pets. I consider temperament, compatibility with my own dog and cat, medical or behavioral needs, and whether my home environment and schedule are the right fit. A meet-and-greet may be required before I accept a first stay. Pets in my care receive individualized attention, regular exercise, enrichment, supervised relaxation, and a routine designed to help them feel safe and comfortable. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I work carefully to preserve their usual schedule and minimize disruption. Depending on the pet, visits may include feeding, refreshing water, potty breaks, structured walks, litter-box cleaning, playtime, companionship, brushing, enrichment, and medication administration. I am comfortable following detailed instructions and caring for pets with specialized medical, behavioral, or senior-care routines. I provide enrichment based on what each pet genuinely enjoys. An active dog may benefit from a walk, game of fetch, training practice, or outdoor adventure, while a senior or anxious pet may prefer a slower routine and calm companionship. Cats are allowed to interact on their own terms and may receive interactive play, affection, quiet company, or additional space depending on their comfort level. I take cleanliness, safety, and home security seriously. I keep food, water, litter, and medication areas clean; securely close doors, gates, crates, and enclosures; and respect each client’s home and privacy. I also monitor appetite, water intake, bathroom habits, mobility, energy, and behavior so I can report any meaningful changes. After each visit or care period, I provide a detailed update with photos and information about activities, meals, water, medications, bathroom activity, and overall behavior. Whether your pet needs a one-time visit, recurring care, extended support, or a carefully considered stay in my home, my priority is keeping them safe, comfortable, engaged, and well cared for.

“Andrea is incredibly attentive and always puts me at ease while I'm away! She sends adorable pictures of my kitty, sends updates every day and I can tell when I get home that she's been treated like a queen. So grateful to have someone I can trust looking after my home and my girl!”

“I’m a repeat client of Hannah’s and she’s so great! She was a lifesaver when my travel plans went awry. My apt is always left spotless and my girls love her!”

“We are so grateful to have found our furever sitter Lina! Lina stayed at our home for a week keeping our dogs safe, well exercised and happy. She volunteered to take them out on fun excursions and walks. She asked us insightful questions in order to get a full understanding of their needs and set our expectations. She’s so thoughtful and responsible and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She was sure to include photos on a daily basis along with updates. We highly recommend Lina!”
