Top rated Staatsburg house sitters

“Emily was fantastic! She was super communicative, dependable and responsive. She watched my two dogs and two cats -- and they all adored her. I felt great leaving her in charge of everybody and will definitely hire her again when I need a petsitter.”


“Erin house-sat for us when we needed a cat sitter for four days on short notice. She was amazing! Her connection to the kitties and thoughtful, conscientious approach to the care of our beloved companions set my mind at ease. It was clear from our first conversation that she was trustworthy and dependable, which was reassuring since we've never had a house-sitter. We have a senior cat who requires twice-daily medication and Erin handled all his special needs. She communicated clearly, left the house in excellent condition, and is also just a wonderful person all around!”


“Breanna was lovely! Very serious about what our dog needed, was accustomed to, etc., while having very good communication and boundaries about how much contact we wanted from her during the scheduled time. We will definitely hire her again!”


“Laianna was a wonderful sitter! She gave tons of updates, was attentive to any unique requests, and left my home and my pup in perfect condition when I returned. Such a gift to have peace of mind that your dog is in good hands - thanks!”


About: For the past 10 years, I've been lucky enough to have an amazing dog in my life. I've watched him grow from the tiniest puppy into a grouchy yet snuggly old man. Keeping him safe, satisfied, and healthy have been priorities whether that meant walking in the rain or making him a hot meal. He is without a doubt one of the most important parts of my life. I understand what it is to place your trust and your pet in someone else’s hands. As a sitter/walker, I would treat your dog as one of my own. I’ve worked with seniors and puppies, walked, played, and trained with them. All animals come with a story; whatever health, safety, and behavioral information you share would be respected and observed. I look forward to meeting you and making sure that your furry loved one gets the attention and services they deserve! As someone who works primarily from home, I have the flexibility to prioritize my dog’s care throughout the day. He gets a minimum of a 1.5-mile walk every single day, rain or shine, and always enjoys a hot meal made with a special mix of healthy, human-grade ingredients added to his kibble—because I believe that quality food equals a happier, healthier pup. I also make sure he has a yard break every 2-3 hours, along with two medium to long walks daily to keep him active and engaged. My routine is built around making sure my dog’s needs are met consistently, and I approach all my pet care with the same level of attention and dedication. Whether it's a regular walk, a healthy meal, or a quick yard break, I ensure that my pets are always well taken care of, just like I would treat your own furry friend! When it comes to dog walking, safety and trust are my top priorities. I’ve learned to anticipate potential issues, whether it’s a skateboarder coming around a corner or a squirrel teasing from the street, ensuring that any situation is handled before it becomes a problem. By understanding an animal’s triggers, I can make every walk a positive, stimulating experience while maintaining control of the leash at all times. For home sitting, whether it’s a dog or cat, I take care to respect the space—both for the animal and the owner’s peace of mind. I always follow the house rules and make sure any specific needs or routines for your pet are respected. Trust is key, and I’m committed to providing a safe, comfortable environment for both you and your furry family member.

“Katherine took our two rowdy boys totally in stride and made me feel totally confident that she had them safe and sound. Lovely pics and great communication. Would book again”


“Melissa sat with my dog Stella yesterday afternoon. She arrived on time, was loving and attentive to Stella and I felt totally confident that she would be able to handle any emergency that might arise. Also, Stella loved her! I wouldn’t hesitate to hire her again.”


About: I specialize in attentive, stress-free cat care, with a deep understanding of feline behavior and needs. I’ve also cared for dogs and know how to ensure they feel safe, seen, and comfortable. My calm presence and attention to detail set me apart when it comes to compassionate, reliable pet care. My schedule allows for catering to all of a pet's needs: feeding, grooming, walking, playing and enrichment, medication administration, etc. I can also do multiple drop-ins per day/extended drop-ins for pets that need company throughout the day. I live in an apartment complex, so I would not be able to host your pet in my home, but I have reliable transportation and would love to come to you!

“Riss was fantastic! I came home to my staff/pit mix being very relaxed and comfortable. It seems like he had a nice time with riss. She was very communicative and shared updates and photos. I highly recommend! Also, the house was spotless, that’s very much appreciated”


“Marielle stayed with and looked after our two french bulldogs while we were away for a long weekend and did a wonderful job. The boys seemed as content as ever when we got home, and the house was just as we'd left it!”

“Janice deserves 10 stars at a minimum! She was absolutely wonderful with our dogs, Charlie and Delilah! She took great care of them, making sure they felt comfortable and loved during their stay. It was clear that she went above and beyond to keep them happy, healthy, and entertained. Both dogs were so well cared for, and we could tell they had a great time with Janice. She communicated with us regularly, sending updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind. We would highly recommend Janice to anyone looking for a caring and responsible pet sitter. Thank you so much, Janice!”


“Monica was wonderful with our little guy, Tony! She took great care of him and just knew he was in good hands while I attended a wedding. Monica communicated throughout the night which put me at ease knowing he was doing alright. Thank you for watching Tony! I would absolutely recommend Monica :)”


About: Hi I’m Angie :). I have loved and cared for pets since I was 8 years old. From cats to dogs to turtles and birds I truly love all creatures big and small. I have experience with caring for older dogs and cats as well as young pups and kittens. I am an avid walker and love active animals with high energy. Currently my schedule has maximum availability for all seven days of the week :). I will however be starting a part time position soon which would leave most of my availability to weekdays and some weekends I currently do not offer pet care in my personal home as my house mate has severe allergies. I do however pet sit on location.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, and small animals. I have cared for many family friends homes and pets. In my experience house sitting, my clients have depended on me to walk, feed, and play with their pets. I myself have had dogs, cats, birds, and small pets growing up. I’m currently working part time, my evenings, nights, and weekends are available for pet sitting and house sitting. I have a car so transportation is no problem for me. I will be sure to keep all pets safe by ensuring they are fed, walked, and looked after appropriately. I will follow the instructions of the owner to keep their pet safe.

About: Reliable pet lover. I have three cats of my own and if they could talk they would tell you I’m timely with their feedings and give the best scritches in town! Belly rub expert and experienced in the field I work full time as a licensed veterinary technician and have an almost 2 year old, I typically pet sit before or after work and on the weekends I will care for your pets in your home just as you would. I love to take pictures to send to the owners as well so they can know their pets are being properly cared for and having fun!

“My two sickly, finicky, geriatric pups loved Ja-Laurel! I think they were actually disappointed when we came home :-D (they were hoping to see Ja again). She also left the house spotless and all the potted plants happily hydrated. Many thanks!!!”

Thomas-James C.
“I can't say enough good things about TJ! He has been absolutely amazing in taking care of his dog and my cat. TJ is always attentive to his dog’s needs, whether it’s making sure he gets enough exercise, preparing nutritious meals, or simply spending quality time together. I’ve seen how TJ takes the time to play, train, and bond with his dog, and it’s clear that he shares a special connection. Whether it’s going on daily walks, participating in fun activities, or ensuring his dog is comfortable and safe, TJ always prioritizes his furry friend’s well-being. As for my cat, who can be a bit more finicky, TJ handled him with such care and patience. He made sure he had his favorite treats, kept his litter box clean, and even spent time playing with him, which is something not many people are willing to do. It’s clear that TJ has a deep love for animals and truly understands their personalities and needs. I never had to worry while I was away, knowing that my cat was in such capable hands. If you're looking for someone who genuinely loves animals and goes above and beyond, I highly recommend TJ!”

Marissa S.
“Marissa is a reliable, trustworthy, kind, and competent pet sitter who brings total peace of mind whenever she watches our cat Molly, an elderly diabetic cat. Our cat needs her blood sugar checked twice daily and requires insulin by syringe. She also has a thyroid issue and needs medicine twice a day for this. In the past, due to her complicated medical needs, it was always nerve-wracking leaving her with other sitters, but since we've found Marissa, we just don't worry anymore. A Vet Tech, Marissa, has the knowledge and hands-on experience to comfortably take care of Molly. She's an excellent communicator, sending snapshots and updates daily. She's even offered to be on standby when we've had airplane delays and were afraid we wouldn't make it home on time for Molly's medication. On top of all these things, Marissa is also an animal lover through and through, which is obvious in each interaction with our Molly. I wholeheartedly recommend Marissa to care for your pet.”


Dan B.

“What a pleasure to deal with Dan! He was delightful and Georgie did so well under his care! Thank you Dan! We highly recommend his services and will be using him again.”
