Dog Sitting West Harrison

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: I started walking dogs when I was 15, two dogs every night and ended up knowing half the complex’s pets by name. Ten years of that teaches you a lot. Every dog is different and that’s genuinely my favorite part. Some are anxious and just need patience and consistency to come out of their shell. Some stop to sniff everything on the sidewalk and I let them take their time. It’s their walk. I’m easy to work with, I communicate well, and I take the dogs in my care seriously. I’m available weekdays and I prefer recurring schedules because dogs do better with routine, and so do their owners. If you’re looking for someone reliable who’s actually going to pay attention to your dog, I’d love to help. Weekdays, daytime. I’m happy to set up a recurring schedule and honestly prefer it. Dogs thrive on routine and it makes things easier for everyone. I pay attention. On every walk I’m aware of what’s around us, how your dog is feeling, and what they need in that moment. My goal is simple: bring your dog home happy and give you one less thing to worry about.

About: Apart from having pets of my own, I've cared for several pets while their owners were away. I absolutely love befriending new animals. I walk dogs in my neighborhood quite frequently. I'm capable of handling animals of all sizes and I'm open to handling dogs who aren't so friendly. Pet care for me is a part time job so I have a lot of time to care for your furry friends! I'm very flexible with my time, so most times work for me. I have fully functioning air conditioning in all rooms in my house, so your pets will never suffer any heat detriment. I also have a friendly dog named popcorn to keep your dog company. I also have a small dog pool if your dog is a water lover as well.

“Diamond was so great with our dog. Gave him plenty of attention and walks. Was very consistent with logging her visits and including pictures. Would absolutely rebook with her!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs for over 17 years. Besides raising my own dogs, I’ve also cared for friends’ dogs for stays ranging from one week to two months. My Goldendoodle loves making new dog friends, and many of our guests have become his best buddies. I work from home most of the week, so I have plenty of time to care for dogs throughout the day. They get regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and lots of attention, and are rarely left alone. I have fenced yard where my dog loves to play fetch. I usually let my dog out around 8am to play until 9am. All the dogs are welcome to join to play together!

“Becky rules. Very responsive, very communicative, did a great job of taking care of our kitties despite a snow storm. Sent great pictures and knew how to interact with our shy one. Would book again!”

About: What sets me apart is my calm, attentive nature and genuine love for dogs of all ages and energy levels. I have hands-on experience with both playful puppies and senior dogs who need a little extra care and patience. Whether it’s managing leash training, administering medications, or just giving your pup a consistent, loving routine while you’re away, I treat every dog like they’re my own. My goal is to give pet parents peace of mind and pets a safe, happy experience every time. I work a regular 7am to 4pm Monday to Friday. So I am available afternoons, weekends and holidays. I am available to work with your schedule. I have a court yard. I have a dog seat in my car to take them to a local park. There are a few dog friendly parks in the area.

“Belkys is absolutely wonderful! She provides thoughtful and considerate care for our two Siberian cats, and it’s great to know they’re in good hands while we are away.”

“Yoshi had so much fun playing with Euree! She followed our instructions and was a great communicator. We can't wait to have her help out with our pup again!”

Wanda L.

“Shawn is awesome. He came for a meet and greet and our two cats were comfortable with him right away. Our boys have a special diet & one needs insulin and Shawn handled all of it with no issues - he even made his visits earlier than requested to keep the boys on their schedule. He’s very communicative and gives detailed notes on the visits - and lots of pictures. It was all very reassuring and our boys were happy and relaxed upon our return. Will continue to use Shawn as long as he’s available. Highly recommended! Thanks, Shawn!”

“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.”

“Lina is a consummate professional and truly cares for her clients. We had her stop in for a feeding and potty break but she wasn’t available at the exact time we needed. She went out of her way to try to accommodate us and stop by as late as she was able to for a dinner feeding since we were coming home late. A+++”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a kid. I used to walk with my dogs for hours in the forest. As I grew, so did my devotion to understanding and providing the best care for my furry companions. With my part-time work schedule, I have ample time to devote to taking care of pets. I prioritize their needs, ensuring they receive the attention and love they deserve. Whether it is walking, feeding, grooming, playtime, or administering medication, I ensure a safe and nurturing environment, treating every pet with love, respect and dedication.

About: I provide calm, attentive pet care for dogs and cats who are happiest with plenty of individual attention and a familiar routine. I grew up around animals and have cared for pets for family and clients on both sides of the Atlantic. I know how important it is to feel completely comfortable with the person looking after your pet and, for house sitting, your home. For boarding and daycare, I offer a quiet home environment in White Plains with a large fenced yard and no pets of my own. I keep bookings intentionally limited, which means your dog is not entering a busy home full of unfamiliar animals. I especially enjoy caring for dogs who are very attached to their people, a little anxious in new environments, older, or simply happiest with more personal attention. I work from home and genuinely enjoy having a dog as part of my day. Depending on their personality and routine, that might mean long walks, time in the yard, play, lounging around the house, or simply having someone nearby. I follow each pet’s normal feeding, exercise, medication, and sleep routines as closely as possible because I believe good pet care should feel familiar to them, not like their entire life has suddenly changed because their people went away. I also offer in home pet and house sitting for animals who are most comfortable staying in their own space. I treat every home with respect and keep pets on the routines they know, whether that means a 7 AM walk, medication at a specific time, or a cat who has very strong opinions about where dinner should be served. My background is in hospitality and event management, so reliability, organization, and communication are second nature to me. You can expect regular photos and updates, clear communication, and someone who takes the responsibility of caring for your pet seriously. Most importantly, I genuinely enjoy getting to know each animal as an individual. Some want adventures. Some want the yard. Some want to spend the entire afternoon attached to your hip. I’m very happy to accommodate all three. 🐾 I work from home with a flexible schedule, so pet care fits naturally into my day rather than being squeezed in around a traditional office job. I keep my bookings intentionally limited so I can give each pet plenty of individual attention and build my day around their normal routine. Depending on the pet, that might include morning and evening walks, midday yard time, play, meals, medication, or simply plenty of company throughout the day. I’m home for much of the day and can accommodate dogs who enjoy being close to their person, while still following whatever routine they are accustomed to at home. My goal is to make their time with me feel relaxed, predictable, and genuinely enjoyable. Whether I’m caring for a pet in my home or theirs, I take the responsibility seriously. I follow feeding schedules, medications, exercise routines, and any household instructions carefully, while also paying attention to the individual animal in front of me. At my home in White Plains, dogs have a calm environment, a large fenced yard, and no resident pets to navigate. I keep bookings intentionally limited and make sure gates and doors are secure before any outdoor time. I also follow each owner’s instructions around walks, sleeping arrangements, feeding, crating, and how long their pet can comfortably be left alone. For house sitting, I treat your home with the same respect I would want someone to show mine. I keep things tidy, maintain your pet’s familiar routine, and send regular photos and updates so you can actually enjoy your time away without wondering what is happening back home. Before a first booking, I like to learn about each pet’s routine, personality, health needs, triggers, and emergency contacts so I can provide care that feels both safe and personal.

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!

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!

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: Hello! I absolutely adore animals and strongly believe that they are no different than our beloved family members. In addition to having dog fostering experience for kk9 rescue center, I also have pet-sat for my friends' dogs and cats on numerous occasions. I'd love to be able to spend time with your pet and give them the love and care that all animals deserve. I work remotely so I am flexible to pet sit at my own convenience. I also have my own car on premise so I’m able to drop by for midday walks/care. I have a pet friendly apartment so I am able to pet sit on premise. I am also able to care for your pet at your home if needed.

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