House Sitting in West Shokan

“Great reliable person to work with. Lots of communication back and forth between us. We got pictures and lots of updates on how the dogs were doing. My dogs were spoiled with lots of affection and I would hire her again in a heartbeat.”

“Erin is always my first choice when entrusting someone with my dog! Spud is always super excited to see her and they have a lot of fun together. Erin has a lot of animal experience and knows what she's doing.”

“Simon was very gentle with my senior pups, and they seemed very calm with him. He left the house in great condition! Would definitely use again.”

“She is the absolute best! I would not use anyone else! She treats our pets like our own; accommodates our every request and is as trustworthy as they come! Don't hesitate to have her care for your grumpy old dog, energetic larger dog or your cats. She handles it all with ease. I've already booked her for our next trip.”

About: I didn’t get to experience the joy of growing up with dogs or cats but as soon as I was able I began taking in fosters from the NYC shelter system. It was quite a learning experience spending time with many dogs (and a few cats) of all different types and personalities. I no longer foster but I bring the experience and dedication from working with so many shelter pets to caring for your furry family members. And as a pet parent now myself I have been through many sitters so I understand what makes a good one! I currently work out of the house Monday/Wednesday/Friday but my schedule is somewhat flexible. The rest of the week I work at home and I am often available all weekend. Dogs in my home have access to a securely fenced large yard for running and fetch, as well as a quiet neighborhood for walks. If the weather is warm dogs have access to a dog door so they may go outside as they please. If your dog likes to play with other dogs mine will certainly be happy to accommodate but they can also have separate spaces if quiet time is needed. In your home I will make every effort to keep your pets schedule as familiar as possible while offering lots of love and stimulation. As someone who has had many sitters come through and stay at my house I understand the importance of trust and cleanliness so you can be away without worry.

“I highly recommend my friend Regan to be your pet caregiver. She has years of experience with animals—from caring for her own pets to volunteering at the SPCA where her mom works. Regan is friendly, responsible, and has a natural way with animals. Any pet would be lucky to have her!”

“Laura has cared for my dog Sparky several times over the last few years and always does an amazing job, giving him love and treats in my absence!!”

“Kathryn was great, she volunteered to meet Leia ahead of time to get familiar with her and to answer any questions I had. She was receptive to my suggestions about feeding and walking Leia. She was great with sending updates and pictures. I will definitely use Kathryn again!”

“Meg took wonderful care of our dog and cat, sending us plenty of photos and videos during her stay to let us see just how happy and doted on they were. She also took wonderful care of our home. We feel very fortunate to have found Meg!”

“Marceline took care of my dogs every weekend when my partner and I were long distance. She sent me updates and even made sure they got cuddle time after their walks. I would come home to relaxed and happy pups! I felt peace of mind leaving my boys in her care. As a fellow sitter, I highly recommend hiring her to take care of your animals!”

“Alexandra is great with animals! My dog is so happy every time she sees her. She is always more than willing to go the extra mile for my pup. I would absolutely reccomend her to be your pets caregiver.”

“Ursula is a wonderfully kind person. She has a calming energy she brings to all people and animals. We walked dogs together in LA a few years ago and always had the best time connecting with pets and owners. I trust Ursula and think she’s one of the best people to know!”

“Ilanya arrived a few minutes early and communicated with me throughout her time in our home.”

“Elanor took great care of Dax! She has a great dog park and took him on a few walks, and sent photos throughout the visit reassuring me he was doing great. Will definitely book again so Dax can spend time with his new abuela!”

“Natalie had no problem looking after our excitable and sometimes anxious dog (a 57lb hound mix) while we were away. She took her on great hikes and walks, fed her, and took lovely care of our house as well. Highly recommend!”

About: I have raised puppies, rescued shelter dogs and provided foster hospice care for powdered faced angels. Open schedule during the week/weekends for drop-ins. Overnights possible with advanced notice. My day job is fully flexible so availability to care for your pet is open. Day time hours are preferred with some night and weekends as needed. Feeding, bathing, medicine admin available. Drop in service or in your home care preferred as I am currently fostering and rehabilitating a rescue that needs their own space.

“Linda watches my 2 year old Great Dane, Ivan, while I travel a lot for work at my house with the fenced in yard. She made him into a truck dog and he LOVES going for truck rides with her now. She takes such good care of him and she even turns the sink faucet on for him when he prefers a drink of "fresh" water instead of the bowl! She loves him like he's her own, and I always feel comfortable that my baby is being given lots of love and well taken care of when I am away. She is familiar with the e-collar training, and sends lots of great pupdates. His favorite is running along side her four wheeler and playing with her dog. For the right dog who likes a little bit of farm life, Linda is the perfect pet get away.”

“Maggie took absolutely wonderful care of my senior girl. My dog, Piper, is an old, opinionated, declining (wonderful) gal with quite a few specific needs. Maggie came to stay at my house with Piper and took absolutely superb care of her. She sent me tons of photos and videos and updates because I think she sensed it's what would put my mind at ease, and she just made it clear Piper was in good hands. She really went the extra mile for my girl (and for me), and I recommend her without reservation.”

“Liz is great ! Totally professional and committed to animals and their well being and care. She took time to ask important questions about my dogs to make sure they got the care they needed. When I returned home I was greeted by two happy, calm dogs. They were sad when she left. We will continue to book her when she is available.”

“Perfect for our babies!! Cassidy was respectful of our home and great with Lucy & Izzy! Want to book Cassidy every time!!”
