House Sitting Weequahic

About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember and truly enjoy bonding with pets because they feel like a safe space and the most genuine companions. I have 4+ years of experience caring for both cats and dogs, including feeding, playtime, walks, litter box cleaning, giving attention, and making pets feel comfortable and safe while their owners are away. Friends, neighbors, and family have relied on me to care for their pets with patience, love, and reliability. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy. I make time throughout the week for feeding, walks, playtime, check-ins, and giving pets attention, comfort, and companionship while their owners are away. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in a calm environment. I carefully follow feeding schedules, routines, and any instructions provided by the owner. I pay close attention to pets’ behavior, keep their spaces clean, make sure doors and gates are secure, and give them patience, affection, and gentle care so they feel relaxed and protected.

“Jehiny watched our pups for an extended stay! They were cared for, safe, and definitely seemed to have fun! We got regular updates with photos and maps of their walks. It was really comforting to see how they all bonded :) and our girls are HIGH ENERGY.”

“Joni took fantastic care of my shy foster Millie and has been incredibly accommodating with my last minute request. Even managed to plan for a meet and greet which absolutely helped Millie feel comfortable the next day for the actual sit. Joni sent many pictures and updats and my mind was completely at peace knowing Millie was in her gentle care. Joni also was very thorough with Millie’s schedule and routine, perfectly punctual, and very respectful of the house, leaving no trace behind! Thank you Joni!”

“Andrea took care of my dog, Pillar, and a cat, Muning in my home for 3 nights and 4 days. She was caring and I knew that from pictures she sent. It was my first time to use not only Rover but also a house sitter. Andrea made me comfortable and be at peace while away. Thank you Andrea.”

About: I’ve had a large variety of furry friends from a very young age and I’ve been pet sitting locally since my freshman year of high school. I work 11-4 from Tuesday through Friday. Thursday is the only day I work until 8 and I have Saturday and Sunday free. I have lots of time in both the mornings and evenings to care for your pets! I can complete any task needed for your cute creatures whether in your home or when we’re out and about! Please let me know your specifics :)

“Sara was fantastic! We’ve never left our boy with someone other than family before so we were very anxious, but Sara quickly put our concerns to rest. She was extremely communicative and sent us a bunch of pics every day. I’m so glad we found her and will happily use her again in the future!!”

“Angelica is absolutely amazing!!!! She took great care of my two dogs while I was away and made sure to send me numerous photos every day throughout the week. It gave me great piece of mind, knowing that my two babies were being given the best care and so much attention and love! I will definitely be booking her again and 100% recommend her!”

“I can’t say enough good things about Shannon. I came to her with a little bit of an odd request—more like an evening of babysitting our pup than a traditional dog sit. Happy is 5 months old and full of energy. And also still learning how to behave in someone else’s house. We were staying with our daughter and her family so we could attend a family wedding in a different city than where we live. I looked on Rover and found this woman with years of experience as a certified dog sitter, who seemed very knowledgeable and friendly. I thought she would not be overwhelmed by a 5-month-old golden retriever pup. So I reached out to Shannon long distance and she was right there with all the good questions and suggestions about how to make my plan work. We chatted for about an hour to make sure we both felt comfortable and then I booked the appointment. Shannon even came to my daughter’s house the day before the wedding just to meet Happy and give me a chance to share any additional details. Then on the day of the wedding, she came right on time and gracefully managed our pup (walks, potty breaks, dinner, playing with our very young grandkids , settling for the night), which enabled our son-in-law to manage our two grandchildren without any additional complications. Her skill and kindness with Happy made the whole evening stress-free for all of us. It was a dream dog sit. When it came time for Shannon to leave, Happy just walked over and sat down right at her heels and nuzzled her hand. Thank you Shannon!”

“Veronica was absolutely wonderful with my babies! She went above and beyond, from picking up new toys and treats for the girls, to taking them on adventures, and doing everything she could to make them comfortable and happy. I received a ton of pics and videos and it was easy to tell how happy my Lily and Bella were with Veronica's care. I highly recommend Veronica for your pet sitting needs.”

About: Ever since I was 12 or 13, I would walk my neighbors dogs and pet sit for them. As I got older I have gotten jobs in animal shelters and on animal farms, which gives me patience and experience with many different breeds. Whether it’s playtime, walks, feeding or whatever their routine needs, your dog will be in safe and reliable hands. I am currently in school full time, (Monday-Friday) I am available on weekends and holidays to provide the best care and treatment for your pets. I have a dog, her name is Basil and she’s a 9 year old Samoyed. She’s very calm and gets along with other dogs. I am willing to assist in any kind of service you may need, whether it’s a walk, a rain check and feeding or boarding.

About: I’m a calm, reliable, and attentive sitter who genuinely enjoys being around animals. I pay close attention to routines, feeding schedules, and each pet’s individual needs so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’m especially patient with pets who may be shy, anxious, or need a little extra time to warm up. I take a steady, low-stress approach and always follow instructions carefully. I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you can feel at ease knowing your pet is being well cared for. Whether it’s a drop-in visit or staying with your pet, I focus on creating a calm and consistent experience for them. I’m currently a doctoral student in my second year and school consultant. I have a flexible hybrid schedule so pet care easily fits into my routine. I live in a condo building within walking distance from Maplewood Memorial park and other parks in the area. My building is also pet friendly and I care for pets by making good use of nearby outdoor spaces.

“She took care of my dog as best as she could and in the most horrible time crunch. The one thing i can say is that my dog was pleased with her and I was pleased with her. Will definitely use her services again.”

“Sierra stayed at my apartment in the BX to watch my 45lb rescue pittie for three weeks in May, and I highly recommend her! She was responsive and so generous coming all the way from NJ to meet my pup and me first and incredibly responsive before the day of. Every day she sent me text and/photo updates, and it was super clear my pup was very well cared for and loved. Coming back, pup was happy and healthy and the apartment was clean as I left it (thanks, Sierra!).”
