House Sitting in Tappan

“Ellie did a fantastic job caring for our dog while we were out for the evening. She sent updates on how he was doing throughout the night to keep our minds at ease, and she was extremely understanding and patient when he had an accident before we left. We highly recommend Ellie to anyone looking for a pet sitter in the area!”

“Yvette spent a couple of days with Oliver and was great within. She provided timely updates and pictures, asked questions when needed and Oliver was great with her. Would definitely book her again.”

“I don’t think we could have possibly found a better sitter than Melissa. Our pup can be extremely shy, but Melissa worked with her through her stay and was eventually able to win her over. She was very communicative the entire time we were gone and gave us great piece of mind. Melissa definitely goes above and beyond, and we’re very grateful to have found her.”

About: I've been taking care of dogs since I was 10 when I got my dog. I joined Rover 3 years ago and have experience walking, feeding, playing with, and caring for various types of dogs. I care for every dog as if they're my own! I just got home from college and am looking to make some money as I take a remote class this summer. That being said, my schedule is pretty open and flexible! I am very respectful of other's spaces and make sure to follow instructions carefully. I pay attention to detail and am a high energy individual. I truly love dogs so much and am happy to help take care of them when owners' lives get busy.

“Pete is one of the best dog sitters I've ever worked with. He's very much a dog person and had an intuitive sense for how my dog Bandit was doing. He was very effective in taking care of Bandits' needs including some special medical foods and procedures required. And he's flexible -- he was able to also take care of my daughter's dog Brandy for some of the time while he was also taking care of Bandit. He also is an effective communicator and regularly sent us texts and pictures, as well as knowing when to ask questions if there might be a problem that arose. He's just very good. I highly recommend Pete (although please don't hire him when I need him). Thanks.”

“Dawn and her sons were great. Cash was happy, the house was clean and we got tons of photos while we were away. Will definitely use them again.”

About: 🐾 Lifelong Caregiver | Dog, Cat, & Exotic Expert | Detail-Oriented 🌿 About Me: Animals have always been my world. From growing up with dogs to becoming a dedicated cat parent of 6 years, I provide calm, reliable care for every personality. I’m a "routine specialist" who manages 50+ plants, so I’m wired to follow your feeding and medical instructions to the letter. Experience & Services: • Dogs: Lifelong walker experienced in everything from neighborhood strolls to vigorous hikes. • Cats: Expert in kitten care, shy cats, and multi-cat households. • Exotics: Comfortable with rabbits, fish, and even goats! • The Extras: I pride myself on punctuality, high-quality photos, and detailed report cards. Based in Tarrytown. Whether it’s a midday walk, a cat drop-in, or an overnight stay, your pets (and plants!) are in expert hands. As a Product Designer working from a home office, my schedule is incredibly flexible. Because I’m not tied to a traditional 9-to-5 commute, I can easily structure my day around your pet's specific needs rather than squeezing them into a lunch break. My typical routine includes: • Morning & Mid-Day: I use my flexible 'deep work' hours to take breaks for neighborhood walks or drop-in visits. This allows me to be available during the high-demand midday window when most owners are at work. • Weekly Consistency: Since I work from home in Tarrytown full-time, I am a reliable option for recurring weekly schedules. I don’t have to worry about office meetings or travel suddenly changing my availability. • The Designer’s Eye: My profession requires high attention to detail, a skill I bring to pet care by closely following routine instructions, monitoring health/behavior changes, and sending you well-composed photo updates! Whether it's a quick 20-minute check-in or a long walk, my 'home-base' setup ensures I’m always nearby and ready to help. With 8+ years of dog walking experience and 6+ years of being a dedicated cat parent to our cats Luna and Bubba, I’ve built my life around understanding animal behavior. My approach is rooted in the belief that a calm environment and a consistent routine are the keys to a happy pet. Safety First, Always: Safety is my non-negotiable priority. For dogs, this means double-checking harness fits, practicing 'active walking' (staying aware of surroundings/distractions), and ensuring paws are protected from Tarrytown’s winter salt. For cats, I am hyper-vigilant about 'door dashing' and ensuring all windows and entry points are secure before and after I leave. Building Trust Through Patience: I understand that trust isn't given; it’s earned. • For Dogs: I use positive reinforcement and clear communication to build a bond. • For Cats: I specialize in 'low-stress' handling. I let timid cats come to me at their own pace, utilizing my experience with shy rescues to ensure they never feel cornered or overwhelmed. A Controlled & Healthy Environment: Whether I am in your home or mine, I maintain a 'pet-proof' space. • In Your Home: I respect your space and keep it exactly as you left it. Being a parent to 50+ plants, I am also uniquely qualified to ensure your pets stay away from any non-pet-safe greenery. • Health Monitoring: My experience with medications (like Atopica) means I’m always looking for subtle shifts in behavior, appetite, or bathroom habits that might indicate a health change. I am deeply passionate about animals, and I treat every client’s pet with the same meticulous care, love, and routine-focused attention that I give my own.

“CeeCee stayed with my two large dogs over Thanksgiving and was wonderful! She was very accommodating with a last minute booking. The dogs loved her, and she left everything tidier than when she got there. This was the first time my dogs had a sitter, and I felt better knowing they were in good hands.”

“Another great experience with Amerasia, who kept us informed with regular updates of Rigby and was able to extend her time last minute after our travel plans had to change unexpectedly.”

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: For 6 years I have had experience house-sitting for families on vacations, and caring lovingly and responsibly for everything from dogs (both large and small), cats, birds, lizards, and fish! Currently working part time as I pursue a career in the art field (I am a painter as well as a writer of fiction). My schedule is extremely flexible as I can work my time spent drawing and painting around the needs of your times requested for the needs of your pets :_ I do not offer pet care in my own home, so my services would be strictly based to either care in the client's home, and/or dog walks. I have much experience with safe dog crating, feeding, and being on alert for resource guarding.

“Hillary was absolutely amazing with our 17-year-old senior dog. Caring for an extremely elderly dog is not easy. It takes patience, experience, and compassion. Hillary went above and beyond to make sure my dog was comfortable, safe, and well cared for. We had total peace of mind knowing that our dog was in such loving and capable hands. I can’t recommend her enough.”

“Christy provided excellent care for our dog throughout her stay with him. She easily established a rapport with him as soon as they met each other. She was cooperative with adhering to all directions left for her. She was proactive in sending lots of pictures, which put our minds at ease. She was very accommodating in adjusting to last minute schedule changes as well. I hope to use her services again and highly recommend her to others!”

“Santos was so attentive to our Zeus! Zeus wasn’t feeling his best when Santos arrived, but he kept us updated throughout the day and made sure Zeus was well cared for while we were away. We’re so grateful!”

About: Hi! My name is Christina. I grew up having a Siberian Husky named Tonya and later a Bichon Frise named Daquiri. Pets have always been a part of my life. In my early 20's I took an incentive to relocate down south where I adopted Franky, a pitbull/husky mix puppy. Anyone who knows me knows that my world revolved around my dog. If my dog couldn't come, I wasn't going. 'You won't ever see Chris without that dog, who brings a dog to a hair appointment?" Yup.. that's me. Franky had such an impact on my life that she even was responsible for steering my career. Formerly regional leadership for Banfield Pet Hospital I was responsible for Learning and Development for the largest veterinary practice in the world with over 900 hospitals in 51 markets. (Annnd... Yes, my dog got to come to work with me!) My best friends and former colleagues range from medical directors within the veterinary field to Brandon Mcmillan from CBS Lucky Dog (animal trainer). There's no shortage of emergency contacts in my phone to reach out to which came in handy when Franky, my 17yr old Pitbull/Husky was diagnosed with a brain tumor. Almost 9 months ago now I made the heart wrenching decision to have Lap of Love come to my home and end Franky's suffering when it was clear she was losing her battle with cancer. It's bringing tears to my eyes now and I don't want to be the most depressing profile which leads me to you. While i'm not quite ready for another dog of my own as no one can replace Franky, I get so much enjoyment from being around animals that watching other peoples' pets has been healing and a source of comfort. I think it's safe to say I was a little over protective and needed my own pet sitter when traveling to and from headquarters in Portland, Oregon. At the time, Deb was a God send and I was so grateful to have found someone who understood me and my pet and I hope that I can be that to you and yours! I'm excited to meet you both! After leaving Banfield as a result of increased travel I went into business for myself. I currently only work from home and no more than a couple days a week. As you can imagine it can get lonely and I look forward to having your pet come stay with me. I try to stay active and walk daily to a nearby hiking trail. It's a good walk it takes about an hour and there is a dog park within the trail which is nice for dogs who get along well with others and are healthy enough to participate. Even when they don't get along with others sometimes if you go in the evening closer to dusk the park is empty and its nice to play fetch within the fenced in area. I live in an apartment but don't allow that to fool you, we have a huge courtyard and as I mentioned there is a hiking trail and dog park nearby to keep busy.

“Rita was fantastic with my dog—caring, reliable, and attentive. Richard delivered great communication and kept everything running smoothly.”
