Pet Sitting in Rye Brook

“Thank you:)”

About: I grew up working as a farmhand in Texas, which means I've been mucking stalls, working with animals, and figuring out what creatures need before I could drive. 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 distinguished, low-drama, and an absolute joy to know. I'm also a serious plant person. Indoor jungles, outdoor gardens, that one fiddle leaf fig you're nervous about — I see you. 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 full 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.

“Tara was absolutely wonderful!! This was our first time using Rover and she put our minds completely at ease. Our cat is older and anxious around new people but Tara handled her perfectly. Thank you so much Tara!”

“Amandine has a great sense for animals and their behavior. She was very patient with my stand-offish kitty and with my approach to introducing new folks to my cat. A true Gem! Highly Recommend!”

“We’re so grateful to Claudia for taking such great care of Luna and Beanie while we were away! She did an amazing job not only spending time with them but also keeping everything clean and tidy. One of the cats had an accident outside the litter box, which I was a bit worried about, but Claudia took care of it right away and reassured us that everything was fine. It really gave us peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. Thank you, Claudia, for treating our cats and our home with such care!”

“Alyssa is amazing! She was very responsive and organized. She took good care of our cat and left detailed visit notes. She was our first Rover cat sitter experience and we were glad that we were able to have her taking care of our cat while we enjoyed our vacation. Will def rebook with her for our future trips.”

About: my combination of professional childcare experience, animal care experience, and education in Animal Science. I recently graduated from University of Connecticut with a B.A. in Animal Science and have worked as a veterinary technician, giving me strong skills in responsibility, safety, and attention to detail. I am CPR certified for both toddlers and animals I have a flexible schedule and enjoy being around dogs. Pet care is a rewarding way to stay active, spend time outdoors, and help others I follow each pet’s routine by providing food, water, exercise, playtime, and attention while ensuring their safety, comfort, and well-being at all times.

About: I have always held a passion for animals and am dedicated to providing them with the best care. In my care, I strive to be attentive to your pets individual wants and needs. I will always make sure to provide them with tons of interpersonal attention, and interactive outdoor/play time to stimulate their mind and senses. I have 5 years experience in the pet care industry, and have a cat of my own that I care for well. I have worked with a multitude of clients and their pets, including elderly dogs and dogs that require oral medication administration. I have only worked with dogs and cats, but would love to expand and have the opportunity to care for other animals as well. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend! My schedule is very flexible, and I am available for pet sitting and dog walking any day of the week. Whatever is convenient for you and your pet! I will make sure your pet sticks to their schedule and routine, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable with their favorite toy, treat, or activity.

About: I had a family dog since I had a baby he was a dachshund and lived for 18 years. I have dog sitted before in middle school with my sister and it was great having to take care of cute dogs. I know how to handle dogs. I am currently working part time so I have time to take care of dogs and can walk them in the morning before I go into work. I am very cautious when taking care of dog before walking them I will check if their collar or harness it tightly secured (not too tight) so they won’t slip away.

“Brooke did a great job visiting our dog, Truth! This was our first time booking someone on Rover. We found Brooke last minute, and she did a great job answering all of our questions and communicated with us very quickly. We were super relieved and would definitely recommend and rebook with Brooke!”

“Carol played with my puppy for an hour and it was really cold outside. I offered to let her take a warmup inside but she chose to keep going since they were staying warm being active. My puppy enjoyed the playtime and had a good nap afterwards!”

“Shawn was fantastic! Will definitely book him again! He cared for my 2 cats when my family was away for 10 days. He fed them, changed the water, brushed them. Also played with them, scooped the litter and even vacuumed up the loose litter which was a nice surprise to come home to. Also, his communication was fantastic. Thanks Shawn!”

About: I love all animals but especially dogs. I’ve surrounded myself with dogs my whole life. I raised a dog from a puppy to an old man. I’ve managed all kinds of special diets and I’ve given dogs insulin injections before. I also used to live on a farm where I took care of 5 dogs. I I can give attention to the neediest dogs and I can match the energy of large energetic dogs. I know all the best dog walking parks in westchester. I have a car that I don’t mind getting dirty. I won’t only take care of your dog. I will be a calming attentive presence in your absence. I will follow your instructions to the detail and respect your home and your rules. I work for myself and make my own schedule and can work anywhere, so I can be flexible to your schedule. At the moment I am willing to make your pet my full time job I am flexible to the needs of the pet. If the pet needs a lot of exercise I can take them on long hikes. I know great safe dog friendly trails. If the pest needs a lot of personal attention I can be available to be there. I can manage specific diets and medicine. If the pet needs fresh food I am willing to prepare it. I have a car and can be available all hours of the day for your pet.

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.

“This was Jason's first drop-in visit with our two Great Pyrenees dogs and our Maine Coon cat. The boys met Jason at his meet-and-greet visit about a week in advance and the boys loved him from the moment he walked through the door. He's very comfortable with our big boys (115 pounds and 140 pounds!). Jason, overall, is fantastic-- professional, thoughtful, conscientious, and just a great guy. He followed all of our instructions to the last detail. We already have more days booked with him. It's such an enormous relief to find him so the boys can stay home together rather than staying at the kennel while we go out of town. Highly recommend him!”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs many summers. Most of them were family and friend’s dogs. They seem to like me as much as I like them. I had two rabbits which I lost but taking care of your pets also make me happy. Whether it’s summer or winter I can take care of your dog. I have time before, during lunch and after work during week days. I live very close to my job and there is always someone at home. I have a medium sized back yard that we can play around and live really close to dog park. I also have transportation so that we can go anywhere.

About: With over 14 years of full-time experience caring for animals, pet care is more than just my profession it is a lifelong passion. While the majority of my experience has been with dogs, I have also gained extensive experience caring for cats and birds in their homes. I am a Certified Veterinary Assistant with hands on veterinary experience and a strong understanding of animal health and wellness. I am comfortable administering oral, topical, and injectable medications, monitoring pets during recovery, and providing post-surgical care when needed. I am also very familiar with the veterinary clinics in the area and have experience transporting pets to appointments, assisting with checkups, and helping owners follow veterinary recommendations. What sets me apart is the level of attention and care I provide. I build close, trusting relationships with the pets I care for and take the time to learn their individual personalities, routines, dietary needs, and preferences. I have a strong interest in animal nutrition and understand the importance of maintaining consistency in a pet’s daily routine to support their overall well being. In addition to pet sitting and dog walking, I have several years of grooming experience. My building includes a dedicated pet grooming facility, allowing me to conveniently offer grooming services while pets are in my care. I am a dependable, knowledgeable, and compassionate caregiver with many long-term client relationships national and international. References from local families are available upon request, and I take great pride in the trust that both pets and their owners place in me. I would be happy to assist with all of your pet care needs, including pet sitting, dog walking, medication administration, recovery care, transportation to veterinary appointments, grooming, and personalized daily care.
