House Sitting in Upper Nyack

“This was our first big trip away from our golden retriever Pungo and Denisse did an awesome job staying at our house and taking care of him while we were away! She was responsive, sent lots of pictures and took him on fun adventures to the beach/park. He had lots of love and attention, which was important to us! Thanks again Denisse for being so sweet, kind and patient with our big boy! She even stayed late on the last day as our flight was delayed! We appreciate you and thank you for helping out!!”

About: I have had every domesticated animal growing up you can think of! Cats, dogs, bunnies, birds, snakes, turtles, iguanas, etc. I have always been such an animal lover seeing as I grew up with them. I currently have two of my own fur cats. Salem and Sterling. I am very flexible and I am able to take on whatever is needed. I am very accommodating and always available in whatever ways are needed for you and your pets. I prefer to watch your fur babies at your homes just because it’s easier for the animal to adjust vs being stressed coming to a whole new environment.

About: I have 5 years of experience dog walking. I have been dog sitting on and off for the past few years. I have a dog of my own that I have had for 3 years. I treat your dog as if he or she was my own dog. I am very responsive while I watch the dog. I enjoy sending lots of pictures and updates to the owner. I used to have a dog named Princess who was alive for 13 years. She enjoyed snuggles a lot! I also had a dog named Harley. She belongs to my dad now. I've had my Benji Boy for 3 years now. I used to take care of Harley when my father went away on vacation. I made sure I fed her, walked her and gave her lots of attention. I also gave her treats if she was being a good listener. I feed Benji two times a day, I add water to his bowl about 4 times a day, I take him out in the backyard every 4 hours, I walk him early in the morning before I go to my day job. Benji is very friendly and loves being social with other dogs! I will make sure your dog is given lots of attention and love. I have open availability right now until I find a full time job. Please send a message to ask if I will be available during a specific holiday. I can walk your dog in the afternoon and make sure they are fed and have water in their bowls. I go to client's homes because I feel the dog will be more comfortable being in their own environment. Usually the dog is very comfortable being in their own home and is able to get comfortable with me. If there are any rules in the house, I follow them. I make sure to keep the common areas clean if I end up staying over someone's home.

“Super Sitter!! Shannon was AmAzing with old, aloof, quirky, Boo. Shannon went above & beyond, following instructions to the letter & very attentive to a lot of my neurotic details. Boo is 18 & has some health issues & quirky behaviors that Shannon attended to seemlessly. Hate to leave this review because she will & should be hired by all. Want to keep her to myself!!”

About: Since the age of 7 years old I have always had a dog around my families home. Along with my family pet, I have experience taking care of dogs that range in age and size. I have experience with 6 month old puppies that need a lot of attention through 14 year old dogs that need medication given to them. Over the years, I have taken care of pets for my friends and family ranging from a day, a weekend, to a whole week. Having a dog of my own, I understand the difficulties of finding the right sitter as well as the importance of finding the right one. I am currently a Graduate student at the University of Rhode Island. For the summer, I am taking online asynchronous classes. Since my classes are asynchronous I am able to work my school schedule around my pet sitting schedule. With that being said, I still need a couple hours each day to devote to my school work. When it comes to someone else's home, I follow all the directions that are given to me. I am very versatile depending on the needs of the pet and owner. When it comes to walks, I always walk dogs with their leash and preferably a harness for long walks (but if they don't have one that is okay as well). If I bring the dog to my own home, I have a deck with a gate and a big backyard for playing.

“Elizabeth help make our vacation over Christmas a worry free relaxing vacation. The biggest thing of going away is how are the dogs. Not to is time. Will definitely recommend and use her services again. Thanks Elizabeth”

About: I have had an array of animals throughout my whole life. These include multiple Saint Bernards, guinea pigs, cats, rabbits, and koi fish! I find pet care to be therapeutic, and I love to bond with new animal friends :) I am currently a medical student in the Westchester county area. Luckily, my schedule is flexible, and I have plenty of time to devote to your beloved pets! Having worked at a small animal rescue, I am familiar with performing “vet checks” on a variety of animals. I can confidently keep your pets safe and healthy! I have years of experience walking 150+ pound Saint Bernards. With that, I am comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes!

“Yhakerra was so attentive and extremely caring towards both my fur babies. It was not easy either because both my kitties are in separate spaces of the house due to one of them chasing the other and hissing/growling. However, Yhakerra did amazing and handled the separate feedings/litter cleanings like a pro. She also left the house very clean and immaculate. She was even so caring that she asked if she could carry the youngest baby, Luna to the bedroom and let her sleep in the bed, which of course I was so touched that she was so sweet to accommodate the well being of the babies. She had to move her litterbox and food bowls. I highly recommend Yhakerra and will be booking her again in the future. Thank you so much Yhakerra, I’m so thankful to have had you care for my babies.”

About: I've been around all sorts of animals since I was a child, firstly with pet birds of my own, then volunteering at a farm for a number of years. Most recently, my experience as a veterinary assistant and being in school for a veterinary technician degree also gives me much knowledge in care for all sorts of animals, especially dogs and cats! I'm currently working at a veterinary hospital and have a few days where I can take time to fit pets that need attention into my schedule. Since my schedule changes regularly, my availability may change weekly, but usually does not impede on any pet that needs my attention. I have a variety of cages, leashes, harnesses, and toys for all size dogs if it is not available to the owner. Another benefit I can offer is the fact that since I also work at an animal hospital, if in the event where a pet needs attention while their owner’s are away, I have the access and contacts to help with any needs of that pet as soon as possible, with the permission of the owners.

“Eric was wonderful. I have an old ragdoll cat; he took great care of her - feeding, medication, grooming, cleaning her myriad litter boxes - for the two weeks I was gone. It gave me peace of mind to have him in the house. I am so glad I found him - I will definitely use his services next time I travel.”

I have experience crating dogs as well as potty training puppies.

“We had Bianca watch our pup while we were away for the weekend getting married. Our pup is dog aggressive and we are always very nervous to leave her with new people that aren’t family, but we can confidently say Bianca is now our number one choice when we need a sitter!! She was communicative, took such good care of Freya and was so cautious about her needs. Not once did I worry about our pup! 10/10 cannot recommend enough !!!!”

“Cecelia is a lovely and loving sitter for our dog. She also left the house exceptionally - maybe cleaner than we left it! She got Theo outside for all kinds of walks and adventures to stores and other sites. A wonderful find for our family!”
