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!

“Erin is great at communicating! She took such wonderful care of my dog, from pickup to drop-off and all the photos in between. I will be rebooking her again and again. :)”

“I can not say enough about Christy. We first hired her shortly after bringing home our two new kittens, Walter and Winston, and trusting someone with brand-new kittens wasn’t an easy decision. From the very first visit, it was obvious how comfortable and experienced she is with cats. She didn’t just stop in to feed them—she spent the entire visit playing with them, giving them attention, and making sure they were happy and comfortable. We’ve now trusted Christy to care for the boys on multiple trips and she’s been wonderful every time. She sends thoughtful updates and photos after every visit, which gives us so much peace of mind while we’re away. She also goes above and beyond in ways she never has to. She brought in several large, heavy packages, emptied our Litter Genie, and always made sure everything was taken care of before she left. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely loves cats and treats them like they’re her own, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Christy. We’ll absolutely continue booking with her whenever we travel.”

About: As a kid, my family would often take care of our friend's dogs, but we never had one of our own. Now, I'm a dad of three young humans and one bundle of fluff named Simba. Oh and let's not forget Victoria, our rabbit. We love havinganimals, and we still love watching other people's animals too. I'm also offering to house-sit, and take other people's dogs (either solo or with my Simba) for walks. I mostly work from home and never leave a dog alone while in my care. We take several walks per day, including morning, lunch, and at least two in the evening. I have a comfortable living space, a nice yard area, nice green space and a park nearby. When dogsitting, I take very little space for myself and leave the space better than when I found it.

“Esther has been visiting our dog daily for the past couple of weeks and we couldn’t have wished for someone better. Esther is reliable, caring, communicates with us, and sends us pics of Shadow. We will definitely continue to use Esther’s services. She’s excellent with our dog!!”

“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.”

About: I’ve pet sat for neighbors’ dogs of all ages since high school, and I’m comfortable with daily walks, feeding, playtime, and cleaning up waste. I’m also very routine-focused—I stick closely to your dog’s schedule so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I grew up with a mutt who recently passed, so I understand how important it is to have someone trustworthy, lovin, and caring for your dog. I’ll treat your pup like my own and provide daily updates with photos, plus quick notes on meals and how their day went. My schedule is very flexible, which allows me to accommodate a variety of pet care needs. I work Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons into early evenings, and Sunday mornings into early afternoon. Outside of those hours, I’m available for walks, drop-ins, feeding, playtime, and extended visits. I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and provide consistent care, along with daily updates and photos so you feel confident while you’re away. 🐾📸 When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walking routines, and any household rules you have in place. I make sure your pet always has fresh water, a clean space, and plenty of attention and comfort. For dogs, I’m careful with leash safety, door safety, and picking up waste on every walk. For cats, I keep litter boxes clean, make sure doors and windows stay secure, and respect their comfort level—whether they want playtime or quiet companionship.

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!

About: I have always owned/ cared for pets my entire life, which makes 25 years of caring for pets. I went to SUNY Alfred State College of technology, where I received my associates degree in veterinary technology, as well as a bachelors degree in technology management Fall of 2021. I started off volunteering at animal shelters in the fall of 2016. I worked as a Kennel assistant throughout the years of 2016 to 2020. I worked as a Veterinary Assistant from 2020 to 2023. I am currently a Veterinary Technician (Emergency animal nurse) at Veterinary Emergency Group. I have animal training, grooming, and Veterinary medical experience. I work a full time job at Veterinary Emergency Group three days a week. 12 hour shifts. I can also bring pets to work with me as well. So I am available all days out of the week. I do not have a fenced in yard, but there is a hiking trail around the corner from my home where I walk my own dogs daily. Pets will never be put in a crate. (Unless you prefer for them to be crated) They are welcomed to walk around my house, on the couch, and in my bed. I feed my dogs twice a day and they get walked 3-4 times a day. Whenever I have to run errands they stay at home with pee pee pads located around the house.

About: What sets me apart is my reliability and attention to detail. I work full-time during the week, which means I’m very structured, organized, and consistent with schedules. I understand how important routine is for pets, and I take feeding times, walks, and medication instructions seriously. I also prioritize communication — I send regular updates and photos so pet parents always feel at ease. I treat every pet like they’re my own and every home with respect I work a 9–5 Monday through Friday, but I’m available for pet care before work, after work, and on weekends. I’m an early riser and can do morning drop-ins or walks before 9 AM. In the evenings, I’m fully available for walks, check-ins, feeding, and playtime. My weekends are flexible, so I can dedicate extended time to pets then. Whether caring for pets in my home or theirs, I prioritize safety, routine, and communication. I follow feeding schedules exactly, provide daily exercise and enrichment, and send regular updates with photos. I treat every pet like family and every home with respect.

About: I've been a dog owner for 20 wonderful years, dogs are my passion! They love me and I love them, from puppies to seniors, toys to giants. I am lucky have a fenced in, wooded, private, 2 acre property with plenty of room for zoomies. Boarding dogs is my main gig, so I stay home with them all day and night. They are never unsupervised, inside or outside my property. I live in a safe, wooded, quiet, 2 acre, fenced-in lot. There are lots of dogs on my block who love to socialize and have play dates if that's what your dog is into. I'm at the end of a dirt road, nowhere near any traffic, so it is very safe and private.

“Melaina was so helpful and so kind and our dog loved her . She was so caring, attentive and punctual. We will use her again to care for our dog next time. Thank you so much.”
