House Sitting Washingtonville

About: I've been caring for dogs since middle school, including over 12 years of hands-on experience caring for my own dog, Aubrey. I've also had family, friends, and neighbors rely on me to walk, feed, groom, and care for their pets. Over the years, I've gained experience with dogs of many sizes, breeds, and personalities, including Golden Retrievers, mixed breeds, Yorkshire Terriers, hounds, Chihuahuas, and Corgis. I especially enjoy caring for senior pets and making sure they receive the patience, attention, and affection they deserve. I like spending quality time with them, grooming them, observing their behavior and how they're doing, and making sure they're comfortable and cared for. I've also expanded my experience through volunteer work with Rockland Orange Furrever Homes and the Hudson Valley SPCA, where I've worked with shelter animals and gained additional experience observing animal behavior and providing hands-on care. Whether your pet needs a good walk, a meal, some grooming, companionship, or simply someone who will give them plenty of love and attention, I want them to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away. I currently have a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I enjoy making time for walks, play, grooming, companionship, and simply getting to know each pet's personality and routine. I'm able to be flexible with my availability and want every pet in my care to feel comfortable, safe, and loved. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping them safe, comfortable, and following their normal routine as closely as possible. I make sure doors, gates, and other exits are secure, provide fresh water and meals according to the owner's instructions, and give pets plenty of attention and exercise. I also pay close attention to their behavior and overall condition so I can recognize anything unusual and communicate concerns to their owner. During walks, I use safe handling practices and stay aware of the pet's surroundings, other animals, and potential hazards. I want every pet to feel comfortable and cared for while their owner is away.

“Jill took great care of our doggos! We are very happy we found her and have already booked for a repeat stay later this summer. We booked way in advance and she was great about coming to meet the dogs, not once (early), but twice (the week of our trip). You can tell she loves dogs and was so patient with our shy one. She was very responsive and sent lots of pictures!”

“Jacquelin took such good care of our dog, Ollie while we were away. She made sure to send us frequent updates and texts. She clearly has a knack for making pups feel at ease and we would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter/walker.”

Kaitlyn M.

“Amber did a great job petsitting for our 2 dogs and 2 cats! She took care of all their needs and they were so happy to spend time with her.”

Corinne Z.

“Jalynn was amazing! She took great care of our dog who has separation anxiety due to us moving across the country and our dog was so comfortable with her while we were out for the day for work. 10/10 would recommend!!”

“I was so pleasantly surprised when I booked Claire sort of last minute. It’s my first time using anyone but friends to watch my precious pup Coco. We were greeted by Claire and her amazing family of 3 dogs, 1 cat and wonderful parents. The pets are all adorable and well behaved. Beautiful home and fenced in yard. Claire communicated through the time away and sent lots of reassurance, pics and videos. She was so flexible with drop off and pickup time too. I highly recommend and won’t think twice about using in the future!!”

“Sarahi was really wonderful - very responsible, easy to communicate with, detail oriented, and caring. We felt lucky to have her, and my somewhat frail kitty loved her.”

About: I've grown up taking care of both cats and dogs. I love animals and look forward to helping you care your your precious pets. In the past I have worked as a pet and house sitter for a couple families. I always enjoy any time spent with animals. I have flexible schedule making me available to care for your fur babies! I live in Guerneville, but frequently go to Sebastopol throughout the week. So mainly looking to work for ones in these areas. But open to adventuring in to further surrounding areas if its a good fit for us both! Currently I am not able to board pets in my home because I am renting. But I would be happy to stop by and spend time with your pets whenever is needed!

“Lauren and John went above and beyond while watching our girl Riley. They sent numerous updates and were very easy to communicate with. They were also understanding when we had to alter our plans last minute due to sickness. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter for your fur babies and we will most definitely be using them again!”

Anna S.

“Alicia was absolutely amazing with my two furbabies! They really loved her, plus she was very accommodating with my instructions and kept me informed often of their progress. I highly recommend her and will probably be booking her again. Truly fantastic and trustworthy house sitter!”

“Kasper is an amazing pet sitter! He was punctual, communicative, and took great care of my home and pets. He was also super caring and sensitive to noticing any little thing that may be off with my dog Goji who can get separation anxiety- even sleeping with him downstairs the first night to ease his nerves. I will def be recommending Kasper to friends and reach out again when I need care!”

About: Hi my name is Destin and I’m a working professional based out of Orange County NY. Unfortunately I’m not boarding due to owning a cat myself. However, I’m always open to other opportunities! Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions! I always make time to care for any pet! I’ll move things around to prioritize. My daily and weekly routines are very similar with little to no changes. Unfortunately I’ve halted boarding due to owning a cat myself. However, I’m always open to other opportunities! Regardless of where I care for pets, they’re always safe, secure and will have fun!

About: Hi everyone my name is Danielle. I have over 10 years experience in dog care. I am a teacher full time.I have experience with all aged dogs, from puppies who need training to seniors who are in need of specialized care and medications. I love animals! I grew up with all types of animals, but mostly dogs. I bring to RoverGo vast experience as a pet sitter. I’ve worked with nearly every breed of dog, from tiny 2-pound toy breeds to large 180-pound furry giants. I also work at an animal hospital so I’m very familiar with all the dogs’ different personalities and I’m also comfortable administering medication, should your pet need it. I have been walking and boarding pets for the last 5 years and I’m happy to provide references! I have plenty of time for your pup and you can be assured that we’ll get in plenty of walks every day My family and I love spending time outdoors and we love having our furry friends accompany us! Bring your high energy pups because we love taking long walks or your senior loungers who will have company most of the day! I am a full time teacher so your pup will only be left alone for a short amount of time during the school year! During the summer and school breaks I am home ! I am able to accommodate as many walks and feedings I live in a quiet complex with plenty of furry neighbors! We can take walks so we can socialize or go our own way if your pup isn’t too fond of others. I do whatever you do at home for your pup when it comes to bed time for example if they sleep in a crate, on their beds or free roam!

“Karena did a great job caring for our dogs and house while we were on a day trip. Would recommend.”

“My dog was immediately comfortable with Ebony, and I came home to a very happy dog (and a spotless home!). Really great experience having Ebony as a sitter. 😊”

“Elena was an absolute godsend for our pets!!! She came over a few days before she housesit - and the dogs were nervous at first, but she sat on the floor with them and waited until they were comfortable - and basically, she's the dog whisperer. When she came for the housesit, the dogs recognized her and were excited to see her. She sent pictures and let us know how they were doing the perfect amount, and the pictures she sent were some of my favorites that I have of them now! I didn't worry at all while we were away, and that is 100% thanks to Elena. Her kindness, patience, and flexibility, among a million other amazing qualities, make Elena the only person I would ever want to housesit for us in the future!”

“Sidra was wonderful at taking care of my pack. She was reliable and prompt. She also kept good contact during the evening and morning she stayed with them.”

About: I’ve had cats, dogs and many other animals my entire life and know how important it is that they get quality care and love! I have always cared for all other animals with love and attention as if they were my own whether they were strays or belonged to friends/family. I have dog-walked and pet-sat for friends and family whenever they have needed help, making sure their pets are well taken care of not just physically but emotionally (to the best of my ability!) while they are away. I have walked and pet-sat dogs of all kinds including puppies and senior dogs as well as disabled and special needs! I have also done feedings and general care for other animals including chickens, horses, goats, llamas, reptiles and others. Throughout my life I have rescued and/or taken care of a range of animals including kittens/cats, puppies/dogs, rabbits, chickens, raccoons, mice, opossums, birds, fish and reptiles. With many years of experience caring for animals, I am confident in my ability to provide attentive, compassionate care to your fur babies! I am available in the mornings and early afternoons for pet check-ins, walks, and other care needs. Additionally, I am available after 5pm on weekdays for any evening care, ensuring pets receive attention at the end of the day. I also offer overnight or weekend boarding, providing reliable care when owners are away. My flexible schedule allows me to tailor my services to meet the specific needs of pets and their owners, offering peace of mind and dependable support. When boarding pets in my home, I offer a safe and comfortable environment tailored to each pet's needs. Depending on the pet's temperament and preferences, I can either crate them for security or allow them to roam freely in a designated pet-friendly area. I ensure that they have plenty of space to play, rest, and feel at ease. I’m committed to maintaining a routine similar to what they’re used to at home, including feeding schedules, exercise, and personal attention. If needed, I can also provide extra care, such as administering medications or offering special accommodations for senior or special-needs pets. When caring for pets in the client’s home, I focus on maintaining a familiar and safe environment for them. I will follow the established routines for feeding, walking, and any other care instructions provided. Whether it’s keeping them indoors, ensuring they have outdoor playtime, or administering any medications, I approach each task with responsibility and attention to detail. My goal is to offer peace of mind to pet owners, knowing their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for in the comfort of their own home or mine.
