Top rated Slingerlands house sitters

“Heather was amazing!! She took such good care of Mac, left our home in great condition and communicated proactively. Also, we were so appreciative that she provided care for the weekend short notice (less than 24 hrs). Highly recommend.”


“Megan was great house sitting with our young dog. She came to meet him prior to accepting the appointment, arrived on time and kept us informed with pictures throughout the day. We were very pleased.”


“Barbara was committed through the house and dog sitting and patient when I was unable to communicate quickly due to my travel schedule. My two dogs had lots of time playing outdoors with her, and I feel like her stay helped my younger rescue pup come out of her shell to ‘strangers’ more :) She’s even been easier on the leash since I got home! :)”


“It was so great to have Joe as a sitter for our pups while we were out of town. He understood that the dogs were not use to being alone over night and was very flexible. We hope to have Joe back in the very near future!”

“The best dog sitter we've ever had.”



About: Hello, thank you for reading my profile! About 20 years ago, one of my coworkers asked if I would be interested in caring for her Border Collie and cat while she was away. Being an animal lover, I jumped at the opportunity. I thoroughly enjoyed hanging out with her pets at her home and taking her dog for regular walks around their neighborhood. Word quickly spread among my coworkers, and I became known as our program's pet sitter. :) Soon, I was invited to care for one coworker's Golden Retriever, rabbit, and cat; another's two Labrador Retrievers; another's two cats; another's dog, fish, pony, and two horses; another's Old English Sheepdog and cats; another's cat and flock of chickens; another's Labrador Retriever, etc. Everyone told me I did a great job, thanked me for my warm and loving care of their animals, and said upon their return that their animals seemed happy, relaxed, and very well taken care of. :) Years later, my husband and I bought a house with a fenced yard, adopted a young dog from the Mohawk Hudson Humane Society's animal shelter who loved to play with other dogs, and started to watch other people's dogs at our house. Now that our dog is a senior dog, he seems to prefer quiet time more and to not enjoy having so many different dogs at our house as much as he did when he was younger, other than his two best dog friends. I still love taking dogs for walks, playing with cats and dogs, and cuddling with cats and dogs, so I decided to offer the service of house sitting instead of boarding. I truly enjoy caring for animals, and I would love to care for additional animals. Thank you for reading my profile, and please contact me if you would like to schedule a meet-and-greet! I look forward to meeting you and your pet(s)! Currently, I work remotely during the week, and I work as a care companion for older adults in their homes on Friday evenings and Sundays. I provide pet-centered care, knowing each animal has unique needs and preferences. I understand the importance of maintaining routines in fostering an animal's sense of contentment and wellbeing, and I will do my best to maintain familiar routines. I am detail oriented and follow instructions carefully. I am a homebody and am quiet, but I love spending time in nature with animals, particularly going on walks with dogs or playing fetch with dogs outside. I will care for your pets as I do my own. :)

“1st time Rover user. I cannot say enough good things about Miles. He is kind, compassionate, responsible. He sent pictures and communicated everyday. He took care of the mail and my house. I feel safe leaving my 3 boy cats with Miles, anytime. I certainly will be booking him again. Thank you, Miles.”

19. Andrea C.

“Andrea has taken care of my dog Sadie many times. Sadie is a nervous and sometimes difficult dog, especially with new people. Andrea has been fantastic with her. She loves Sadie and its mutual; she also is super reliable and communicative about clarifying when and what care is needed. She spends extra time caring for Sadie. She also has cared for other friends' animals for years, and I know they all would say the same. I recently had a bad experience with another dog sitter and it makes how great Andrea is stand out all the more. I give her the highest possible recommendation.”
