Pet Sitting Spring Valley

About: Hi there! I can’t wait to welcome your pet into my home. Dogs and cats who stay here are treated like guests of honor, with all the care and attention I bestow upon my own pets. Unless there are extenuating circumstances, pets are allowed to roam freely in a cozy, familiar home environment — no rows of kenneled dogs here! I’m very selective about the pets I accept. I usually only accept a maximum of 3-4 dogs at once. I meet every new pet before booking, and I usually won’t accept more than one new dog at a time, alongside repeat clients. This ensures that I’m familiar with how all the dogs will interact with each other, with only one new variable, thus avoiding potentially uncomfortable or dangerous situations for your pet. I’ve always loved animals, and with more than 15 years of pet care under my belt, I have the knowledge and experience to provide your pets with the best care possible. I take the responsibility of caring for your pets very seriously, and I’m certified by the American Red Cross in Cat and Dog First Aid. Earliest drop off or pickup is at 8 am. Latest drop off or pickup is at 8 pm on weekdays, 9 pm on weekends. I’m also available for drop-ins at your home, every day except Saturday mornings. (I’m available Saturday evenings instead.) For Dogs: I have a large, unfenced backyard that dogs love exploring on a 50-foot long leash - so many scents to sniff and chipmunks to chase! I’m always there to monitor them - dogs are never left alone outdoors. Water is always available, and I work from home so I’m around the majority of the day to keep them happy and safe. What you’ll need to send: Their regular food is the most important thing to send, as dogs can get upset stomach from sudden dietary changes. You can also send their favorite treats, and a favorite toy. If they tend to pull on the leash, a front-latch harness, rubber-tipped prong collar, or gentle leader is appreciated. Bowls, beds, brushes, litter bags etc. are all unnecessary, as I have extras of all these supplies. For puppies, a crate may be necessary, depending on their level of potty training. For Cats: The cats have a comfy lounge downstairs, with food, water, litter boxes, and scratching posts. The dogs are not allowed downstairs, so the cats can get all the space they need from the dogs. The cats are free to move upstairs and downstairs as they prefer. All cats are indoors only. I have a lot of wide, accessible windowsills that they love chilling on to watch birds and squirrels outside, as well as battery-operated and automated toys that they can chase and play with on their own. What you’ll need to send: their regular food (wet and dry) and treats. Cat litter is also appreciated. I work from home, so my schedule is flexible and I’m home most of the day. I have a spacious home that can accommodate giving multiple animals space, and I can keep animals separated from each other if necessary. I've always loved animals of all kinds, and I currently have my own dog and 3 cats. I can't wait to meet your pet, and I promise to love them and care for them the way every pet deserves to be loved!

“Great hour check-in with Willie and Molly while she has been in an e-collar with an eye injury. Loved the photos and messaging when she arrived and left.”

About: I have experience caring for dogs through regularly dog sitting for my friends and their pets. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, giving lots of attention, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I genuinely love spending time with animals and treat every pet I care for like my own! I am currently working full time but I have weekends off, and sometimes a day or two during the week so weekends are best but feel free to reach out about weekday availability! I have a fenced-in backyard where dogs can safely enjoy some outdoor time and play. I also have a cat at home, so I’m comfortable caring for pets and making sure everyone has a safe, calm, and comfortable environment. I always follow each pet’s individual routine and give them plenty of attention, playtime, and love.

About: Hi! My name is Roisin and I have unwittingly become the go-to dogsitter for family and friends alike. I have watched a variety of dogs — very large ones who need lots of exercise, dogs with nervous stomachs, and 4-month old puppies who needed frequent potty trips in the middle of the night. While housesitting, I make a strong effort to maintain your pet’s routine — including feeding, treats (or lack thereof), walks, medication, and time playing. I am a full-time teacher, so most of my care is best scheduled for afternoons and evenings. On the weekends, I am much more able to keep my schedule open but altogether, I try to be flexible! I think it’s super important for dogs to be played with and given TLC while their families are away. It’s one thing to refill water bowls and take a dog for a walk, and an entirely other thing to make the dog feel at ease and loved. I make it a priority to spend time playing fetch or simply cuddling so you can rest knowing your dog is happy! When housesitting, I make it a goal to keep your house as you would like it! I tidy daily and will strip beds and do a deep clean of the areas I used prior to your arrical home.

“We had a great and positive experience with Patrick who is kind, caring and reliable. We also received regular updates and pictures which made us at ease that our pet was well taken care of while we were away. I would totally re-hire Patrick’ services in the near future.”

“Joseph dropped by to take of our cat for 3 weeks. For the entire 3 weeks Joseph kept an open line of communication and provided daily updates and pictures. Our cat loved Joseph. We highly recommend Joseph and will not hesitation to have Joseph watch our cat next time we are out of town.”

About: Pups have been a huge part of my life ever since I was a child. Besides taking care of my own dogs throughout my life, I’ve also been a reliable contact for any friends, family and/or local households who need anything pet related- anything from a quick potty break to a extended overnight care! I treat every dog as if they were my own and strive to provide a safe, loving, and dependable experience for both pets and their owners🐾 I am a teacher who is currently off for the summer. This makes my days very flexible for owners who need any last minute help or need more frequent visits for their pup! When caring for pets, I make sure to follow their establish routines, provide plenty of attention and exercise, and ensure they always have access to fresh water and a safe environment. I carefully monitor pets during walks and playtime, respect any special instructions provided by owners, and maintain open communication with regular updates for owners who may want a little extra peace of mind!

“Monica had been the best dog help we could dream of. our Charli loves her so much. We booked her for 8 days of drop in visits, and every day that she was with our Charli she takes lots of pictures and write notes of what she did to Charli ( like a summary of her visit) , which me and my hubby really loved. We are booking her again june to november while im away for travel work… we love you Monica”

“Melaina made our international trip away from our two girl cats so worry-free. She was so responsive to every message and went above and beyond, taking her own initiative to clean the litter box and throw away trash as if it was her own house and her own pets. Our cats were nice and comfy under her care. Book her!”

“David did drop-in visits for me while I was traveling for work. He was polite, professional, and friendly. My boyfriend and my cats approve! Would definitely recommend.”

About: I’ve been a dog owner and dedicated dog caregiver for over 20 years, and caring for dogs has always been a huge part of my life. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, including large and strong breeds such as Akitas, German Shepherds, and other high-energy breeds. I’m comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities, ages, energy levels, and needs, and I understand how important it is to make each dog feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re away from their family. I also volunteer with Guiding Eyes for the Blind, helping with their puppy training program. As part of the program, I have the opportunity to welcome a future guide dog puppy into my home for several days at a time and help with their training, socialization, routines, and everyday experiences. This has given me additional experience with consistency, positive reinforcement, following specific care instructions, and helping dogs build confidence in new environments. Whether your dog needs lots of playtime and exercise, some extra cuddles, structured routines, or simply a calm and loving place to relax, I’m happy to provide individualized care based on what works best for them. My goal is for every dog in my care to feel like they’re right at home! I work full-time, but my schedule gives me plenty of flexibility for pet care. I’m available for morning walks before work, evenings after 7 PM, and anytime on weekends. I’m also available for overnight care and boarding. I have years of experience caring for dogs and currently care for two dogs as part of my full-time childcare position. I’ve also had dogs of my own in the past. I live in a very pet-friendly apartment community with beautiful walking trails and plenty of places to explore. I’ll provide your dog with a safe, loving, comfortable environment, along with plenty of exercise, attention, and companionship. I’m happy to follow your dog’s usual routine and care instructions so they feel comfortable and at home while you’re away.

About: Dogs have been my whole heart for as long as I can remember. I started walking and babysitting pups when I was 13, and I’ve never stopped. Over the years I’ve grown up with and cared for Labs, an English Bulldog, a Jack Russell, a Cocker Spaniel, a Pit Bull mix, a Cattle Dog, a Great Dane, and a French Bulldog, so big, small, sleepy, or full of zoomies, I adore them all. My newest family member is a sweet Cavalier King Charles who loves making new dog friends, so your pup will have a gentle buddy to play with (or snuggle with, if that’s more their style). What your dog can expect with me: A cozy home in West Nyack with a fenced-in yard and a separate downstairs space to relax A crate already set up if your dog feels safest with one Lots of attention. I work from home part-time, so I’m around and my schedule is flexible with a little notice Comfortable, careful medication care, including injections Plenty of photos and videos so you never have to wonder how they’re doing When your dog stays with me, they’re treated like family. I want you to be able to relax and enjoy your time away, knowing your best friend is safe, happy, and loved. Feel free to reach out with any questions. I’d love to meet your pup! 💛 It’s pretty much my hobby! I’ve been fostering this year, I watch, all of my friends animals and more. Always go out every few hours. Never left alone long. I treat all dogs like they’re my own, take them out every few hours or for walks, more if necessary, they have full access to the bed, couch, can use a crate if they like that more. Happy to adhere to any guidelines.

About: I’ve had dogs since I was four years old, and they’ve always been a huge part of my life. Caring for them has never felt like a chore—it’s something I truly love. I’ve always had a special connection with dogs, and my friends and family joke that I’m a “dog whisperer” because dogs seem to gravitate toward me everywhere I go. Whether I’m on vacation or just out running errands, I can’t resist stopping to say hello to every dog I see. I’m also the kind of person who goes to a party and ends up spending most of my time playing with the dogs instead of socializing! I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need extra patience and attention. My childhood dog recently passed away after 16 wonderful years, and during her senior years I gave her daily medication, made sure our walks were comfortable with plenty of breaks, and, most importantly, gave her all the love and care she deserved. I also have a senior Chihuahua-Poodle mix who needs daily medication and occasional help getting onto the couch or bed, so I’m very comfortable caring for older dogs and understanding their unique needs. I also have a younger dog that I raised and helped potty train, and I’ve taught her several fun tricks, giving me experience with puppies and basic training as well. What sets me apart is that I treat every dog as if they were my own. I pay close attention to their personality, energy level, and routine to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. My goal is to make every pet feel happy and every owner feel confident knowing their furry family member is in caring hands. Pet care has always been part of my daily routine. I have two dogs of my own, so every day includes feeding them, taking them on walks, giving one of my senior dogs his daily medication, playing with them, and making sure they get plenty of love and attention. Spending time with dogs is something I genuinely enjoy, so caring for pets doesn’t feel like a task—it’s one of the best parts of my day. I make time in my schedule to ensure every pet gets the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to keep their routine as consistent as possible. I’ll follow all feeding, walking, medication, and potty schedules, provide plenty of playtime and affection, and make sure they always have fresh water. I understand that every pet has a different personality, so I take the time to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. I’ll also treat your home with the same care and respect I would my own and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind.

About: I've always loved animals and have had cats since I was 8 years old. I currently have four cats, so I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pets. Over the years, I've cared for pets for friends, family, and coworkers, including dogs and cats. I've welcomed dogs and cats into my home for overnight stays, provided drop-in visits to feed and care for cats, and taken care of pets while their owners were away. I know every pet has their own personality and routine, and I'll always treat your furry family members with the same love, patience, and attention I'd want for my own pets. I also love sending photo updates so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I have a flexible schedule and do my best to accommodate each pet owner's needs. I offer drop-in visits, dog walking, and house sitting, and I'm happy to follow your pet's routine to keep them comfortable while you're away. Communication is important to me, and I'll always keep you updated throughout your pet's care. Your pet's safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. I'll follow all of your instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, medications (if needed), playtime, and any special care your pet requires. I understand every pet has a unique personality, so I take the time to earn their trust and make them feel comfortable. I'll also send regular photo updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands.

“Ellie was wonderful with Ender and Petra. She was reliable, communicative, and took great care of them. I came home to happy pups and felt totally at ease knowing they were in such good hands. Highly recommend! 🐾”

About: I have always loved animals and helping others. I’ve cared for many different pets over the years while working as a nanny. I even volunteered at a veterinarians office where I would help care for sick or abandoned pets. I am in college, which gives me plenty of time to care for your pet. My schedule is extremely flexible so I’m available most days/times. I am there to ensure your pet stays safe and happy, so I will always ask for your pet’s individual preferences that way I can support them in the best way possible.

“Kathleen is a very reliable and kind pet sitter. I hired her for 23 days for my cat Midnight while I was out of the country. Needless to say I was very worried about leaving my cat home alone for this long a duration. But Kathleen checked in every single day at the time agreed on previously and customized the care of my pet. My cat is a picky eater, and Kathleen accommodated every change I had to make to her feeding routine. She also kept the home aired and made sure the home conditions were perfect for the cat. I came home to a happy and healthy cat! Kathleen is a great find and I will definitely hire her again!”
