House Sitting South Hempstead

“I cannot say enough how wonderful Kerry is!!!! She stayed with my 3 large dogs (GSD, Golden Retriever, and Rottie mix) for 3 days and 2 nights and also gave my 1 dog her meds for 2 days. She kept in constant contact and sent me photos. My dogs all absolutely love Kerry. It meant everything to be able to relax while I was away knowing that my dogs were so well taken care of. Kerry is a true dog lover. You can rest easy she will take the very best care of your pet while in her care.”

About: I have been around dogs for most of my life, having owned two dogs from ages 6-20, and I have since gained hands-on experience caring for pets with a wide range of personalities, ages and needs. I’ve pet sat for both cats and dogs, including caring for four cats and two dogs at once, managing litter boxes, wet and dry food routines, playtime and plenty of attention and affection. I also have experience administering oral medications and eye drops to dogs. One experience especially that sets me apart is caring for a Catahoula Leopard dog who was paralyzed in her hind legs, which involved expressing her bladder and assisting with her mobility alongside caring for another dog in the home. I’m comfortable with puppies as well, having provided drop-in care for a golden retriever at both 3 months and 6 months old, as well as extended dog and house sitting for a 2-year old golden retriever. Across my pet-sitting experience, I’ve provided regular walks, baths, light grooming, feeding, playtime and lots of one-on-one attention. I understand every pet has their own routine, personality, and level of care, and I’m comfortable providing everything from my everyday companionship to more hands-on care for pets with special needs. My current schedule is very flexible, as I am studying full-time for the MCAT and create my own study schedule each week. I attend MCAT prep classes on Sunday and Tuesday evenings, but outside of those times, I can easily plan my studying around your pet’s needs. This gives me flexibility for walks, drop-in visits, feeding schedules, playtime, and extended care throughout the week. I’m happy to work with each pet owner to maintain the routine that works best for their pet! I understand that trusting someone with both your pet and your home is a big responsibility. I have experience house sitting and pet sitting for many families, and I always treat each home with the same care and respect I would want someone to show my own. I carefully follow any instructions you provide regarding your pet’s routine, safety, feeding, medications, and household needs. My only request is to be shown where basic cleaning supplies are kept (accidents happen, and that’s completely normal!). I want you to come home to a space that is just as clean, if not cleaner, than when you left it, and most importantly, to a pet who has been safe, comfortable, and well cared for.

About: For quite a few years I’ve taken care of dogs for family members, families all over Long Island and never disappointed! I’ve loved dogs all my life and still do. They’re honestly like family to me and I always treat my family with care, respect and love which is what a dog needs. I also have 2 dogs of my own and they is just the best thing that happened to me honestly and that’s why I’m working for this company because I’ve found something that I could work for and love doing what I do at the same time. I treat every dog like they’re mine! Every dog that has been to my house they are treated like our family, care for every one of them. I am home full time! Sometimes I go out to run a few errands which means I put the dogs in a crate but my mother works from home 2 days out of the week so if she’s there, she’ll keep them out and moving around on their own! Other than that, I am very free! Other than that, they will be taken great care of by me. In my home I have a huge clean yard that runs through the back, side and front it is fenced so the dogs could run freely around for daily exercise. I also love to walk so if your dog also loves to, we will definitely be a great match! I have two dogs of my own that’ll keep your lovely dog(s) company. They are very playful and welcoming, one is 6 years old and the other one is 5 years old, with all their shots and up to date with all doctor appointments. This is a smoke free house also. Your baby will be happy & safe here!

About: Hello! My name is Abigail. I am a calm, observant, and deeply reliable pet and house sitter specializing in providing a peaceful, structured environment for your animals and complete peace of mind for your home. While I am a dedicated beginner on this platform, my life has been rooted in a deep love and respect for animals. I grew up in a household where we lovingly cared for both a family dog and a family cat. Through that personal experience, I understand firsthand that pets are not just animals—they are family members who thrive on consistent routines, clear boundaries, and nurturing, empathetic care. I approach pet care with a quiet, steady energy. I have always been naturally drawn to animals, and I excel at reading their non-verbal cues to ensure they feel entirely safe, secure, and comfortable while you are away. Whether your pet requires high-energy tracking on daily walks or simply a quiet, gentle presence to sit with them in their space, I adapt my approach entirely to match their unique personality and baseline needs. What I Bring to Your Home and Pets: * Meticulous Attention to Detail: I take your specific, daily care instructions seriously. From precise feeding schedules to maintaining your pet's exact exercise routines, I ensure everything is executed exactly as requested. * Home Security & Grounded Reliability: As a clean, quiet, and highly respectful independent professional, I maintain your property lines with absolute care. I keep your living space immaculate, respect your privacy, and ensure your home remains secure and peaceful. * Empathetic & Attentive Communication: I know how deeply you miss your animals when you are away. I provide clear, steady, and consistent updates and photos according to your preferences so you always know your pets are thriving. I am looking forward to connecting with you, honoring your household boundaries, and treating your beloved pets with the highest standard of quiet respect and care. I’m committed to having pet care be a big part of my weekly routine. I’m eager to dive into house/pet sitting, so my daily/weekly routines definitely have space for bookings. I provide clear, steady, and consistent updates and photos according to your preferences so you always know your pets are thriving. I am looking forward to connecting with you, honoring your household boundaries, and treating your beloved pets with the highest standard of quiet respect and care.

“Devon was exactly the person I needed to care for my fur granddog while I was away. She was professional friendly, caring and attentive. She took wonderful care of him and treated him as I would! Everything was in perfect order when I returned! I would highly recommend Devon! You’ll have peace of mind knowing your furbaby is in good hands! Thank you Devon!”

About: Experience with over 7 dogs from puppy to adulthood and numerous cats. I have trained 5 dogs. Over the years I have cared for many cats. Feeding, walking, home care, and giving medicine. I am currently in school with a long background of caring for pets. This position is rewarding for me as I enjoy caring for animals. I personally take care of my two dogs. I take them on multiple walks a day. Reenforcing positive feedback training and playtime continues to provide a continued well mannered dog and happy life.

“Sara was incredible with our dog and cat! She sent plenty of pictures while we were out of town.”

About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up with pets and have been around dogs since I was about seven years old. I also spent time every week on my family's farm, where I became comfortable around many different animals, including dogs, cats, horses, cows, bunnies, turtles, chickens, and ducks. Throughout my life, I've cared for multiple dogs of my own and have also pet sat for friends and family. I'm comfortable with walking, feeding, playtime, maintaining established routines, and reinforcing basic training such as sit, stay, come, leash manners, and house-training habits. Growing up around animals taught me to pay attention to their individual personalities and boundaries. I know that some dogs want to play immediately, while others need patience and time before they feel comfortable with someone new. I bring that same patience and attention to every pet I care for. I'll follow your instructions closely and do my best to keep your dog's routine consistent, safe, and enjoyable while you're away. My schedule is flexible, with my strongest availability from Sunday through Wednesday for walks, drop-in visits, and overnight care. I'm also open to longer stays and recurring bookings during those days. Thursday and Friday availability may vary, but I can sometimes accommodate evening or overnight care if a later arrival works for your pet's routine. Weekend requests may also be possible depending on the dates and your pet's needs. Feel free to reach out with your schedule—I’m happy to see if we can find a good fit. When caring for pets in a client's home, my priority is to keep their environment and routine as familiar and consistent as possible. I follow the owner's instructions closely regarding feeding, walks, medications, training, sleeping arrangements, and any household rules. I take time to learn each pet's personality, energy level, boundaries, and normal behavior rather than assuming every animal should be handled the same way. I'll reinforce the commands and routines you already use instead of introducing unnecessary changes while you're away. I also understand that trusting someone with your pet means trusting them with your home. I treat both with respect, keep the areas I use clean and organized, secure doors and entrances carefully, and communicate if anything unusual happens. During visits or overnight stays, I can provide regular updates and photos so you know how your pet is doing and can feel confident that they're safe, comfortable, and receiving attention.

“Sarah was absolutely amazing. I have never been able to go away without worrying who would be around to feed and let out my dogs let alone worrying about them being alone all night. She kept me updated on how they were doing and sent pictures. My babies absolutely love her! She did not disappoint!”

“Kristen was wonderful with our two cats while we were away. She made sure to ask how much we wanted to be updated and tailored it accordingly. One of our cats is 20 and has a kidney-specific diet due to health issues and Kristen ensured she was well fed and taken care of. We could tell when we got home how much they were pampered while we were gone and I know they can’t wait until they get Kristen back again ?‍⬛ ?”

“Oswald was so incredibly helpful to me and my dog, Bear! Since Bear has mobility challenges, I enrolled him in rehab for physical therapy. Not only did Oswald help me with the lifting and carrying of Bear, he even generously drove us to and from the rehab center. His time, care, and attention meant a lot to me and is deeply appreciated. Thank you so much!”

Selvi S.

“Caitlyn was very communicative and my cat loved her! I came home to my apartment clean and my cat relaxed. Would absolutely recommend Caitlyn to anyone looking for a sitter!”

Claudia S.

“Jane was great. Communicative throughout our entire time away. Thorough with the instructions we left. We will definitely be using her services again in the future.”

About: 29 year old animal lover in Nassau County. Life long pet owner who loves, appreciates and respects animals. My family and I have been caring for local strays for years as well (TNR, shelter, feeding) fun fact: every time I travel, I try to dedicate at least half a day to volunteer socialization time at local shelters in the towns i’m staying in! My work schedule is from 8 AM to 5 PM Monday through Friday. However, I work from home Mondays & Fridays and I am free on the weekends. I have a fenced yard, and a fully furnished basement apartment which i’ve used to temporarily foster pets, to isolate them when they are sick, or shelter them from rough weather conditions.

About: I have been an animal lover ever since I can remember! I grew up surrounded by cats & dogs and in adulthood have fostered kittens and dogsat for coworkers! I am currently employed full time in a hybrid model and will accommodate the needs of your fur baby as they arise. It is of the utmost importance to me to keep your furbaby happy ! I will ensure your animal is well cared for in any capacity you need. I am a firm believer in animals can sit on the couch and lay in bed!

About: I grew up in a house with 3 dogs and have never known life with an empty house! I’ve been formally dog sitting for friends, family and clients since 2018 in my house on Long Island as well as in their apartments in Manhattan and Brooklyn. I was previously the assistant manager of a local dog day care and while some dogs do well in a boarding facility, I know how important it is for them to feel comfortable and stress free, and that can be in their home or mine! With over 20 repeat and regular clients who my relationship with them and their dogs spans across years, I have many referrals that can speak to my high level of care and love. I also am honored to have experience with senior aged dogs and those with medical conditions requiring medicine or special care and am happy and comfortable to provide it. Be prepared to receive a million picture and video updates from me of how we’re spending our days together so you don’t have to worry or wonder, and can enjoy your vacation as stress free as possible. Especially if you’re away during a holiday or even their birthday, we always celebrate with special treats, toys and activities so nothing is ever missed. When your pet is in my care, they become a member of my family and are treated as such! I work full time remotely from the comfort of my house, which allows me to spend all my time on the couch with the dogs I’m sitting for and take them to play in the backyard or for a walk whenever we want. I am able to accommodate and be flexible with bathroom and feeding schedules as necessary. I have a very large, fenced in backyard with grass and concrete that dogs are able to enjoy. I also have a doggy door if they are trained that they can access the backyard whenever they would like/need to potty (can also be locked shut!). I am happy to follow any specific care instructions no matter how unique or strange you might think they are, I’ve heard it all and love learning every dogs personality and quirks that make them who they are. The dogs I sit for are just like my own pets, they are welcome and encouraged to join me on furniture, to sleep in bed with me or can be crated if preferred and one is provided (although I certainly prefer cuddling with them if allowed!).
