Dog Sitting Valhalla

“Marta has been fantastic with drop-ins for my cat Bieber. She makes sure to provide timely updates and photos and spends time with him in addition to giving his medication. She also makes sure to include anything notable about the visit. Would recommend!!!”

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and have always been very involved in their care, from daily walks and feeding to grooming and play. I’ve also taken an active role in training my dogs, helping them build good habits and feel comfortable and secure in their environment. Being around animals comes very naturally to me, and I genuinely enjoy making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every animal with the same attention and kindness I would give my own. I work full-time during the day, but I make time in my routine for pet care because it’s something I genuinely enjoy. I’m available on weeknights and weekends, and I love using that time to stay active—whether that’s going on walks, spending time outdoors, or giving pets the attention and care they need! Pet care fits naturally into my schedule, and I’m committed to being reliable, present, and attentive whenever I’m with your pet. I provide care in my client’s home so pets can stay comfortable in their own familiar environment. I do my best to follow their usual routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions you provide. I’m attentive to each pet’s personality and needs, whether that means being active and engaging or calm and patient. I also treat your home with the same respect and care as I would my own—keeping things clean, secure, and organized. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for while giving you peace of mind while you’re away!

“Kathleen has been great with all of our animals including our new kitten! We always get updates and photos and she is very flexible and caring.”

“Alyssa is amazing! She was very responsive and organized. She took good care of our cat and left detailed visit notes. She was our first Rover cat sitter experience and we were glad that we were able to have her taking care of our cat while we enjoyed our vacation. Will def rebook with her for our future trips.”

About: Im here to care for the elderly dogs and disabled dogs who can’t be left home alone and need ample 1:1 attention. I have cared for many senior animals, and know how complex it can be to tend to their changing needs in their golden and twilight years. Have you been worried about leaving your dog home alone while you go out for appointments, errands and social commitments? Are you stressed and need a break from caregiving to tend to our own self care? I’ll stay with your beloved canine family member making sure they are cared for and comfortable when you need to be elsewhere. I currently have availability most days in my schedule as long as i know ahead of time! I’m happy to structure your dog’s need and routines into my own schedule. I offer drop in visits and daytime and evening dog sitting in your home. I am able to bring your dog outside to get fresh air and enjoy the outdoors in your yard. If your home has stairs and your dog needs to be carried, we will discuss safety. On a case by case basis I may be able to take your small dog for a short walk up and down the block, or in the stroller if they use one. My animal clients are elderly and or disabled and typically stay home. Regarding feeding, I do not handle raw meat or pork products. We will work together to meet your dog’s individual needs and customize their care! Size of dog, distance, length and number of visits per day are all on a case by case basis.

About: I have a Scottish Terrier at home and I've had her for 5 years now. Over the years we've hosted numerous dogs, giving me hands-on experience with various breeds and temperaments. Additionally, I run a pet care brand (Modern Kindred), which has motivated me to study pet biology and behavior for the last 3 years. This combination of personal experience and professional knowledge allows me to provide informed, compassionate care tailored to each pet's unique needs. I work from home running my pet wipes brand, so I'm available throughout the day. I only make trips to the post office once a day, but otherwise I'm home with my dog (who is energetic and loves playing with other dogs). This means I can provide consistent attention and supervision for any pets in my care. I create a safe environment by removing any objects that dogs could chew on and only providing durable, indestructible toys with no loose pieces. I always supervise dogs closely and stay in the same room with them to ensure their safety and wellbeing at all times.

About: What sets me apart is that I’ve cared for dogs through every stage of life. I grew up with three dogs starting when I was 12, so I have experience with everything from managing puppy energy to giving older dogs the patience, gentleness, and attention they need. I’ve also helped friends and family with their dogs over the years, whether that meant walks, drop-ins, or caring for them while they were away. This is the first time since childhood that I’m living without dogs, and I’d love the chance to help care for yours like they’re my own. I work full-time during the week, so weekends are the best fit for me right now. That’s when I have the most flexibility and can give dogs more of my time and attention without feeling rushed. I live in a house with a front and backyard, giving dogs plenty of room to relax, play, and get fresh air. There are also several parks nearby, so walks and outdoor time are easy to work into the day. I know every dog is different, so I’ll make sure to follow their normal routine and keep them comfortable, safe, and cared for like they’re my own.

“Jose is super communicative and had a great check in with my cat! Thank you so much for hanging out with Basil!”

“Lorenzo did a wonderful job taking care of my dog, Lacey! He came over for a few hours, took her on a nice walk, played with her, and made sure she was comfortable and happy the entire time. It was clear that Lacey felt at ease with him, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. I’d absolutely recommend Lorenzo to anyone looking for a responsible and caring dog sitter!”

“Danae is fantastic! I've hired her twice now, and I have already booked her for a third time. She's very communicative, responsible, and great with my cat!”

“Chris was attentive and responsible. My neighbors who met him were impressed with him. I recommend Chris!”

“Catie took excellent care of our 2 cats. One of our cats has special needs with a feeding tube in place. Catie learned how to administer medications thru the feeding tube. She picked it up quickly and asked questions when she wasn’t sure about something. She kept us updated with daily feedback and photos. She’s trustworthy and reliable as well as being very skilled at handling challenges which can happen with finicky cats like ours. Would highly recommend to others and will use her again.”

About: I recently moved to Westchester to work as a Trainee Guide Dog Trainer for Guiding Eyes for the Blind. I have been around dogs my whole life; I graduated from The Ohio State University in May 2024 with a degree in Animal Science. Due to my full time work with Guiding Eyes, I am primarily available on weekends or weekday evenings/nights to take care of your furry family members. I treat all pets as if they were my own; I will do everything in my power to make your pups comfortable in your absence. Your pet’s safety and comfort is my top priority!

“Sarah made sure that Jazzy was comfortable in her home and took conscientious care of her. She was easy to work with accommodating in her schedule. Highly recommend!”

Tom G.

“Hannah is absolutely amazing! She took exceptional care of my two dogs, Max and Romeo, and they both adored her from the moment she walked in. Her kindness and warmth were immediately evident, and I could see how comfortable my dogs felt around her. Hannah went above and beyond to ensure they were happy, and received plenty of attention and playtime. It’s clear she genuinely loves animals, and her gentle approach made such a positive impact. I couldn’t have asked for a more caring and responsible pet sitter. Highly recommend Hannah for anyone looking for someone who will treat their pets like family!”

About: I bring attentive, knowledgeable care tailored to your specific creature and their specific personality. I've been pet parent to dogs of all sizes, from Chihuahuas to Great Danes to my current Sheepadoodle — there's no dog size or personality that's too much or too little, IMHO. And my experience extends well beyond dogs — cats, snakes, farm animals 🐐, and more. I also happen to share my home with a ball python named Fettuccine Alfredo 🐍, who is a distinguished, low-drama fellow. As a plant parent, I will watch after yours indoor jungles, outdoor gardens, that one fiddle leaf fig you're nervous about. If you need someone who will actually look at your monstera and not just splash water in its general direction, that's me. (My avocado tree, grown from a pit, is thriving. I'm not taking questions.) Housesitting, dog walking, drop-in visits, basic training — I've got you. And if you're going away and need the whole ecosystem looked after, pets, plants, and all, I'd love to meet you. Pet care fits naturally into the rhythm of my week. My mornings are consistently free, which works well for walks and drop-in visits, and I have flexibility on Wednesdays, Fridays, and weekends for longer stays or housesitting. On days when I'm teaching in the afternoons and evenings, I'm still available in the mornings — and I keep my schedule intentionally manageable so I'm never stretched too thin across clients. This isn't something I'm squeezing in around a packed schedule — it's something I've made genuine room for. When I'm in your home for drop-in visits or housesitting, I treat it with the same care and attention I'd give my own. That means following your routines exactly as you've set them, keeping things tidy, and making sure your pets are comfortable and unstressed in their own environment. I take detailed notes at meet-and-greets so nothing gets missed while you're away. On walks, I keep dogs leashed and attentive to their individual energy and needs — a reactive dog gets a very different walk than a social butterfly, and I know the difference. I bring over thirty years of animal experience to reading body language and behavior, so I'm not caught off guard by much. My own home includes a ball python and two cats, so I'm well practiced in managing a multi-species household safely and calmly. I don't offer boarding, which means your dog's visit to my home would only ever be for a meet-and-greet in a low-key, relaxed setting. In any situation that feels off — health, behavior, anything — I err on the side of contacting you immediately and getting to a vet if needed. You'll never be left guessing.

About: Hi there! I've been surrounded by animals since I was a little boy and I've never stopped loving them since! I've had 9 cats and 3 dogs throughout my life with my family, and I wouldn't have it any other way. I volunteered all 4 years during high school at animal shelters to care for stray/abandoned cats and dogs. All animals bring so much joy to my heart, although I don't have kids of my own yet - I care for all animals as if they were my own children. If your furry friend needs a little TLC grooming or medication, I am more than happy to ensure they are on schedule. I have a private home in Bayside, if needed more space it can be utilized (w/ fenced yard). Please message me to arrange any bookings, I always do my best to be flexible with all my clients. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend!

About: I was raised with dogs and have been working as a pet-sitter and dog-walker for neighbors and family friends since I was about 12. I have some experience with pet training, lots of experience with dog walking and pet-sitting, and TONS of experience with pet-loving! I will be working as a counselor at a day camp this summer from 9AM to 4PM during weekdays. I’m happy to come take your pet for a quick walk during my lunch break, and any longer walks/stays will be before and after the camp day starts, overnight, or on weekends! I love to play with, walk, and generally be best friends with animals! I usually have some schoolwork to do and am always happy to keep your pet company while I do it. Your pup deserves love and attention even when you’re not home!

About: I’ve had experience with larger breeds. I had an Airedale terrier growing up and had a large golden doodle who was almost 100 pounds so I’m a big fan of big dogs! I’m able to walk larger dogs with ease and have experience with food sensitive dogs as my doodle was allergic to just about everything. I’m available to do dog sitting pretty much whenever. I work from home full time so I am able to provide a lot of attention to any of my dog guests who stay with me and my husband. Dog walking I’m available most evenings and weekends with access to dog parks in my area if you are comfortable with me bringing your buddy there to play! I’m passionate about dogs and would love to use some extra time caring and tending to them! I’m new to caring for others dogs but not new to loving them - thanks for considering me to care for your best friend! I work from home full time so any dog that stays with me is a huge part of my schedule and routine! I can provide lots of daily walks and special attention for those who need a little extra love! It’s important for me to know what the rules and routine are at home! We try to keep things are normal as possible and not instill any bad habits when they are in our care! They get free reign of our home and we also have cameras to keep an eye on things if we aren’t home!

“Booked Caleigh for a somewhat impromptu trip of town- appreciated her quick response and flexibility. She was communicative and a wizard with our shy cats. Thank you so much ☺️”
