House Sitting in Whaleyville

“We are so pleased with the experience we had with Chelsea. She was great about keeping us informed about how our pups were doing. She texted us and sent us pictures every day while we were out of town. We would definitely recommend Chelsea for anyone looking for someone to care for their pups.”

“We are delighted by Amber who watched our pup Oxford this past weekend. She was extremely proactive with her questions and willingness to come for a pre-visit to meet him beforehand. She stayed at our home from Friday night through Sunday and left our place spotless. Oxford seemed to have a great time with her and Amber was communicative even with our spotty service. We will definitely have Amber back to watch Oxford and are happy to recommend her.”

“John was on time. He was very kind. He and our sweet Savannah bonded and has a great weekend. He completed walks and feedings. He assisted with her vitamin. We will plan to use him again and would highly recommend him.”

About: With over 7 years of pet care experience, I specialize in providing personalized attention to pets of all ages and needs. I adapt my services to ensure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable. What sets me apart is my deep understanding of animal behavior, allowing me to provide consistent routines. I am currently in a veterinary assistant program to gain certification and complete career goals! I’ve also volunteered at the humane society events and dog walking. I am a first time mom, currently in the newborn stage. He was born February 6th. I am the primary parent and take care of him night and day, therefore i unfortunately can’t work. I do have support that will watch him while I do drop in’s, burnsides appointments I am mainly free!! In your home, I focus on maintaining a safe and familiar environment for your pet. I follow your pet's routine closely, ensuring their feeding, playtime, and exercise schedules are consistent. I also make sure to provide plenty of attention, love, and mental stimulation, even if it is just walks. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priority.

About: I’ve had dogs and have been taking care of family and friends dogs and cats for over 10 years. My family has had healthy dogs and dogs that have had medical issues over the years, and so I’m knowledgeable in looking after a dog who has undergone surgery, or who requires special care due to paralyzation. I love all animals and friends have relied on me to house sit their dogs while they go away on trips or vacations for multiple days at a time, sometimes with more than one dog at a time, or additional pets as well, so I’m very experienced in addressing each animals needs, while also sending “daily nanny cam” updates to family and friends so they can see their pets during the day and know that they’re happy and doing well. I work full time, but work from home two out of the five days, so I would be able to take your dog on multiple walks during the day, come over and stay with them for a few hours to play, or even house sit them for the day or several days if you’re going away for a trip. If they require special medication I just ask that you leave me their vitamin/mediation schedule and will administer based on your instructions. My family dog loves to cuddle with me in my lap and when she’s not allowed on the furniture, I’ll often sit on the floor with her so that she can snuggle with me. On the days that I work from home, I would be happy to stay at your home with your pets making sure their needs are met. I love my family pets and will give your pets the same love and affection that I give mine. My animals are allowed to snuggle with me on the couch or on the bed (unless you don’t want them on the furniture/ there are behavioral issues I need to be aware of, I would have them do the same thing). I walk my family dog in the afternoons and play with her throughout the day with dog toys and fetch, but will monitor if it looks like the toy is coming apart and could pose a risk to them. I would follow all instructions left when it comes to house sitting/walks/or day sitting, and would ask for you to share any behavioral issues or triggers with me in advance so I care be aware of them prior to taking your pets out on walks or just in day to day interactions. This allows me to be aware for your pets safety and the safety of any other animals we could come around. If a dog doesn’t seem friendly while we’re on a walk, I would remove your dog from that situation to try and keep them as safe as possible. I will also always reach out to contact you if there are any issues or questions I have about daily activities, medications, etc. When I dog sit at someone’s home, I recognize that I am really there just to look after their pet, so I don’t leave the house for extended periods of time and will actually put on animal shows for the pets to watch, including planet earth, or Disney pet movies. I also like to send updates that I called “nanny cams”, which are photos or videos of your pet playing or just hanging about so that you can have peace of mind that they’re happy and you can also see them while you’re away and receive updates. I will always communicate with you very openly to ensure you have peace of mind while I’m taking care of your pet.

“Catie is awesome! She asked great questions at our meet and greet and was very able to deal with my very big dogs. Catie asked us in advance how often we wanted to hear from her and then sent us daily photos. She is very responsible and took good care of our house and pets. I’d highly recommend her.”

“Jordyn did a wonderful job puppysitting our two furbabies! She kept me up to date and answered in timely manner. From the minute we met, I could tell how loving and caring she would be. I would recommend her to anyone who needs help with boarding and/or other pet needs.”

About: Hey there! A little bit about me - I grew up in a dog loving household so I’ve been taking care of, loving, and playing with furry friends my whole life. After moving to the city away from my own, I decided to get into Wag to still be around animals and help pay the bills! I have experience in all things from long walks to short ones, big dogs to small dogs, feeding, playing, pottying, all of the above. I’d love to get to know your pup whenever you need an extra hand! I tend to have a pretty flexible schedule!! I will always try to find space in my day and week to help care for your pup. I’m new to the River scene in NYC but have been successfully walking dogs on another pet care app for over a year!! (50 services to be exact). Mainly a lot of walks ranging from short to long and a few drop in visits. I am unable to host dogs in my apartment building, but will happily do an overnight stay at someone’s home if that’s what you all need!
