House Sitting in Valatie

About: 🐾 I know how important it is to feel at ease when you’re away from your pup, and my goal is to give you that peace of mind. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities, from energetic breeds to couch potato seniors who just want a cozy spot to nap. When I host, I only take one dog at a time (or one family - multiple pets from the same household) so they get my full attention. Whether that means long walks, play sessions, or just lots of cuddles, I'm happy to adapt to what makes your dog the most comfortable. I also have experience with rescue dogs and those who need a little extra patience and understanding. I’d love to meet you and your pup to see if we’re a good fit. I work from home which gives me a flexible schedule with open availability. I can regularly walk dogs in the morning, mid-day or evening. I only take on one pet per booked time which means your pet will always receive my undivided attention and care. When outside, dogs are 100% supervised at all times. I have a Furbo camera that enables me to check in on pups when I am out of the house. For the safety of your pup, I do not frequent dog parks. I have experience administering oral medication.

“We are so thrilled to have Evelyn sit with Smily while we were away. Evelyn ensured that we were well informed of the goings on with our dog and home, and even went above and beyond (the house was cleaner than we left it, I'm sure. We could tell that Smily was happy and loved! We highly recommend, and look forward to booking again.”

“Anna was wonderful with our high-energy 7-month-old Lab! She arrived on time, spent plenty of time outside with her even in the cold, and stayed for five hours. She followed all instructions and made sure our pup was fed lunch and dinner. We felt completely at ease and would absolutely recommend her.”

About: I have over 3 years of hands-on experience working as a kennel attendant and veterinary assistant, caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. My responsibilities included feeding, walking, administering medications, cleaning, monitoring health and behavior, and ensuring every dog felt safe and comfortable. I am experienced with puppies, senior dogs, and anxious pets, and I know how to recognize signs of stress or illness. I treat every pet like my own and prioritize their safety, happiness, and well-being at all times. Pet owners can trust that their dogs will receive reliable, attentive, and compassionate care with me. I have a flexible schedule and can provide reliable pet care throughout the week. I am available for walks, drop-ins, and overnight care depending on your pet’s needs. My experience working in a veterinary and kennel setting has made pet care a natural part of my daily routine, and I prioritize consistency, safety, and attention for every animal I care for. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. With my veterinary and kennel experience, I am trained to recognize signs of stress, illness, or discomfort and respond appropriately. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and routines provided by owners. I maintain a calm, clean, and secure environment and treat every pet with patience, compassion, and professional-level care.

“Alyssa is great! My pets and home were well cared for. My dog gets pretty anxious when I go out of town but he seemed very calm and relaxed when I came back. He seemed like he had a great time with Alyssa!”

About: I am a dog lover and I am a nurse practitioner. I’m so looking forward to caring for your dog. Our dog Shadow is a joyful part of our family. Shadow is very friendly and welcoming to all people and all dog visitors. I have had dogs all my life including rescue and black labs for the past 35 years. I have a large front and back yard and our house is set back from the road. There is lots of space to run and play. I have a partially fenced in area in the back where dogs can be walked daily. I work some hours during the day. I am home on all holidays and weekends and will be home for your dog. I may leave for short periods only if your dog is okay to stay alone. I require a meet and greet with your dog. This ensures that your dog is a good fit with our family. Dogs are allowed on our furniture and we love to be with them there. I follow the same routine that you would in our home.

“Elisha did a wonderful job watching my shy pup and two kitties while we were gone for an evening. Although my dog is rather nervous around strangers, my pup ended up sleeping with Elisha during a storm. It gave me great comfort to know my animals were being looked after during the storm and while we were away. Looking forward to having her watch my pets again next week!! Thanks for everything, Elisha!”

About: I had over ten dogs growing up, both large and small, and have had three cats. All have lived to an old age and had a wonderful quality of life! I work from 7am-3pm Monday-Friday with occasional work from homes, so I can provide pet care in the early morning and/or afternoon/evening! On weekends, I am flexible! I focus on building trust and affection with pets, ensuring play time and pets are on their terms, giving space as needed! I am big on safety and keeping a watchful eye on them.

About: Looking to help take care of your fur baby on my days off. I work as a FF/FR as well as just finished nursing school. I am available to help walk your pets or overnight sitting in your home. I work 2-3 days a week so on my off days I can tailor to your needs. I simply ask for a one day notice so I can plan accordingly. I can care for pets in your home or take them for activities in the public. This allows them to keep a routine while you are away.

About: I’ve had both professional and personal experience taking care of dogs for years! My number one concern when watching someone’s furry family member is safety/making sure needs are met and everything after that is playtime and adventuring! Pet care is already part of my daily routine because I have my own dog named Stella who is an extremely active 5 year old dog (who constantly needs to be exercised). I work part time and am home in the mornings and afternoon. Our dog goes out every few hours on a leash in our community or to the fenced in dog park we have here at the property. I have no problem going to the lake or hiking with your fur baby because it’s one of my dogs favorite activity. If your dog needs to be crated or walked alone that is something I can accommodate as well.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of all kinds. I did it for neighbors, family, and friends since I was 12. I take special care in loving each animal I encounter as if I was their owner. I have experience with babies to senior animals. Being a cat mom and an aunt to many dogs. Alongside those, being a preschool teacher for 5 years has guided me to have patience’s, compassion, and care. I’m currently a preschool teacher. I work full time 7am to 3 pm. I am available during the weekday after 3pm. I am available during the weekend at any time. When caring for pets in a clients home, I maintain respect for the clients wishes. Whether you want your animal gated or free roaming the house. I always check fences, gates, and doors to maintain security. I maintain a timely schedule for bathroom and feeding time. I always shrive the keeps the animals schedule and routine the same.

“Stephanie was great very attentive and caring. Handling my old dogs low vision well and I was sent updates and pictures of my boys daily. I would definitely recommend her to anyone!”

Stephen M.

“Natasha was great. She came over to the house before I accepted the service to make us comfortable and to meet the pups, she asked all the right questions (vet, emergency contact, etc), and took great care of the pups. Will definitely rebook!”

“I have two cats that are very picky about who they will be around and I selected Eydid because their profile shows how passionate they are with cats. It was my first time using Rover or any sitter and I was definitely anxious about it. Eydid is amazing - he took the time to get to know my cats, sit with them, and play with them. They love Eydid and that says a lot! Eydid was very respectful of my home and provided me with great updates and pics & videos of the cats having fun. 10/10 would select again. In fact I already have booked Eydid for another session when I am traveling out of the country :D”

“Jennifer arrived promptly and was attentive to our elderly dog's needs. She has a lovely manner with animals and I would use her again.”

“Sophie was perfect in every way! She took excellent care of our Peekapoo, Gia for two consecutive nights while we were attending a wedding. Gia, who has separation anxiety warmed up to Sophie relatively quickly thanks to her experience with and love of dogs combined with her mild-mannered, gentle style. We had some delays due to weather and late starts, she was very accommodating, which eased the pressure. Would definitely book her again! Highly recommended:):)”
