House Sitting Rye Brook

“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 ☺️”

Amy G.

“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!”

Courtney O.

“What a wonderful cat sitter! She took great care of my three cats, and was very gracious about a misunderstanding on my end. Great to work with. She house sat for me and also left the place in a wonderful condition. I would be happy to leave my babies with her again, fully recommended.”

Holly P.

“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!”

Matt S.

“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.”

Frank S.

“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.

“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.

“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.”

About: I bring attentive, knowledgeable care tailored to your specific creature and their specific personality. I've been pet parent to dogs of all sizes, from Chihuahuas to Great Danes to my current Sheepadoodle — there's no dog size or personality that's too much or too little, IMHO. And my experience extends well beyond dogs — cats, snakes, farm animals 🐐, and more. I also happen to share my home with a ball python named Fettuccine Alfredo 🐍, who is a distinguished, low-drama fellow. As a plant parent, I will watch after yours indoor jungles, outdoor gardens, that one fiddle leaf fig you're nervous about. If you need someone who will actually look at your monstera and not just splash water in its general direction, that's me. (My avocado tree, grown from a pit, is thriving. I'm not taking questions.) Housesitting, dog walking, drop-in visits, basic training — I've got you. And if you're going away and need the whole ecosystem looked after, pets, plants, and all, I'd love to meet you. Pet care fits naturally into the rhythm of my week. My mornings are consistently free, which works well for walks and drop-in visits, and I have flexibility on Wednesdays, Fridays, and weekends for longer stays or housesitting. On days when I'm teaching in the afternoons and evenings, I'm still available in the mornings — and I keep my schedule intentionally manageable so I'm never stretched too thin across clients. This isn't something I'm squeezing in around a packed schedule — it's something I've made genuine room for. When I'm in your home for drop-in visits or housesitting, I treat it with the same care and attention I'd give my own. That means following your routines exactly as you've set them, keeping things tidy, and making sure your pets are comfortable and unstressed in their own environment. I take detailed notes at meet-and-greets so nothing gets missed while you're away. On walks, I keep dogs leashed and attentive to their individual energy and needs — a reactive dog gets a very different walk than a social butterfly, and I know the difference. I bring over thirty years of animal experience to reading body language and behavior, so I'm not caught off guard by much. My own home includes a ball python and two cats, so I'm well practiced in managing a multi-species household safely and calmly. I don't offer boarding, which means your dog's visit to my home would only ever be for a meet-and-greet in a low-key, relaxed setting. In any situation that feels off — health, behavior, anything — I err on the side of contacting you immediately and getting to a vet if needed. You'll never be left guessing.

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

“Vlad was an incredible sitter for our puppy and our home. He was highly communicative and followed all of our instructions. Our dog was even better behaved when we returned after a week than when we left her! Vlad was also incredibly kind to agree to stay for 4 days longer when our trip got extended due to a family emergency. We were so grateful for his kindness and support with our dog and will definitely be booking with him again!”

Liza G.

“Crystal was great. She was helpful teaching me about training a husky i recently adopted thos week. My doggie adored her and cat Jackie. She provided pictures. Great sitter who communicated keeping my anxiety at bay. I am using her again.”

“Tara was absolutely fantastic in every way. She took excellent care of Willow, feeding, walking, giving appropriate medication, snuggling, and playing with her as if she were her own. She was communicative and thoughtful, and we couldn't be more grateful to have found her. This was our first experience with Rover, and Tara, but definitely not our last.”

Nicole S.

“Angeli was extremely friendly and professional throughout her stay at our apartment while watching our cat. She came by earlier in the week to meet the cat and ask all the important questions, and followed through on all our instructions. She provided many pictures and reassurances during our time away, and even tidied up before leaving our place. I would highly recommend her services, and we will be hiring her again.”

Aashana P.

“Dana is reliable and conscientious housesitter/dogsitter. My dogs and home seemed well cared for on my return home! I look forward to using her services again.”

Cheryl B.

“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!”

Gabbie S.

“Brooke was great with our reactive pup! She took the extra time to visit the house and make sure Koda was comfortable with her before she dog sat. I was amazed how quickly Koda got comfortable with Brooke (pretty much instantaneous, which is rare!). Thanks so much!”

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.

About: What sets me apart is my experience caring for multiple dogs at once, including both younger and older dogs. I’ve successfully cared for up to 8 dogs at the same time, managing different energy levels, routines, and personalities while making sure each dog gets the attention and care they need. I’m currently working part-time, which allows me to be available for pet care during key times of the day. I’m available on weekdays from 6am–9am for morning walks and check-ins, and again from 7pm–10pm for evening care. focus on creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for every pet. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, routines, and any specific needs. I make sure dogs are supervised, secure on walks, and never put in unsafe situations. I also have experience walking dogs while volunteering at a humane society, where I’ve worked with all kinds of dogs with different temperaments and energy levels. In a client’s home, I respect the space and keep everything clean and consistent so pets feel relaxed and at home. I also provide updates so owners feel confident their pet is in good hands.
