House Sitting In Woodhaven-Richmond Hill

About: I am an animal lover living in Ridgewood. I grew up with cats my entire life. I also raised a basset hound named Sandor. I am kind and compassionate, willing to do overnights, drop-ins, and walks with your pets. Establishing trust with an animal and allowing them to adjust to your presence is one of the most important parts of the process. I have been caring for neighbors pets for years and walked dogs professionally in Manhattan. I’m available for walks and drop-ins during the weekdays also overnights if you’re going out of town for a week or more. I love pets. I will be able to drop in to give your fur baby some love when you’re at work or will stay overnight when you travel.

“Took great care of our Nebby and our home during her 10 day stay while we were out of the country! We could tell Nebby was very well cared for. We would definitely have Em watch her again!”

“Mandel was an amazing house and pet sitter for us, even taking care of all of our plants! I would highly recommend Mandel to anyone with anxiety about leaving your pets. We were updated several times a day about our babies, and were so at ease knowing they were well taken care of.”

“Rachelle was a lifesaver! She was willing to do a last minute house sitting booking for our 3-month-old Fajita. She played with her, took care of her, and made sure to keep her out of trouble. I couldn’t recommend her services enough. I would definitely book her again.”

“Ashly did a wonderful job cat sitting for us! She is communicative and responsible.”

“Darian is amazing!! She took such great care of Andy. From the moment they met, he immediately took a liking to her, which is huge for him, especially since he can be a bit anxious in new situations. Darian was patient, attentive, and clearly very experienced with dogs who need a little extra attention. She kept us updated, made sure he was comfortable, which gave my wife and me so much peace of mind while we were out. We would absolutely trust her with Andy again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate sitter!!”

About: Fun fact: my profile picture is of me and Panda 🐼, the first fur baby I ever took care of for a family friend when I was 12! I am someone who has always grown up around animals including dogs, cats, turtles, and birds. I’ve always had a desire to take care of them, so much that at one point I wanted to go to veterinary school. Although I decided to switch to nursing, being able to take care of the adoring pets of others is something that I’d love to keep as my hobby. I’ll make sure to love your pet the same way I loved the ones I grew up with. All in all, I get to distress from school, and they can get all the cuddles and play in the world. It’s a win win! I’ll also make sure to keep you updated with pictures and videos so you can rest assured that they’ll be in good hands :) I am currently a full-time nursing student, with all of my classes being on Tuesdays. Besides that, I am available any other day of the week :) I also speak Spanish! When caring for your pet in your home, my top priorities are safety, respect, and consistency. I treat your space with the same care and cleanliness I’d expect in mine, and I make sure your pet stays comfortable in their familiar environment. I will carefully follow your instructions, stick to your pet’s routine, and pay close attention to their behavior and needs. Whether it’s feedings, litter box cleaning, going for a walk, playtime, or just keeping them company, I’m reliable, gentle, and always respectful of your home and your pet’s well-being. You can relax knowing they’re in trustworthy, experienced hands.

“Camille was so professional, communicative and responsive to our dogs needs! We really appreciated the photos and videos she sent of our dog while we were out of town and missed him! He fell in love with her the second he met her, as she is really great with animals and reading their behavior and personalities. I would absolutely recommend Camille for all of your pets needs!”

“Marisa was wonderful! She spent the weekend expertly caring for our 6 cats and dogs as if they were her own. Marisa was really good about communicating with us throughout the weekend, both in writing and through sharing pictures. Caring for 6 fur babies is a lot to begin with but she handled all of them so well. I would recommend and would love to work with Marisa again.”

About: Im currently a college student and I love animals. I'm a dog lover, I am very patient and can tolerate and love any type of dog, every dog has their own personality and I respect that. Time management is one of my skills, I'm responsible, your dog will be provided with the care she/he needs, your dog/puppy will be in great hands. I know how important your best friend is, which is why I'll make sure to give you updates as frequent as possible about how your doggie is doing. I have a flexible schedule. Don't worry about weekends! Those are the best days for me. I will also be sure to follow any special instruction your pet may need. I can't wait to spread the love and care with your pets!

“Chelsea is a great sitter and I will be using her again. Her companion, Toby is also a wonderful little pup who helped calm my pups down. I don't know if you can call a dog a professional, but I can say that about Chelsea. She took our girls on nice long walks, sent plenty of pictures, and made sure we knew they were well taken care of.”

“Chris is the best! Hands down one of the BEST pet sitters for my babies. I am SUPER picky and don't usually book the same sitters unless I truly like them. Chris communicates very well and sees to my pets needs. Follows the itinerary very well, sends pictures, updates, and knows how to handle each one of them.”

“Schirn was a great dog sitter and a respectful houseguest. Our pup clearly looked happy in the photos Schirn sent, so we knew she was in good hands. Would definitely use her services again.”

“Kier was outstanding with watching our large breed, energetic dog while my husband and I were out of state for a long weekend. He was super communicative and gave a thorough summary at the end of each day with a ton of photos and info about their day together. He was also flexible and accommodating when our travel plans changed last minute and left our apartment spotless. It's clear that Kier has a passion for caring for animals and we can tell our dog was well loved while we were away. We will absolutely work with Kier again in the future!”

Jennifer T.

“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Avary. From the second we connected until we parted ways, Avary stood out as exemplary. Communication was beyond what could be expected, and the thoughtfulness, care, consideration, respect… are just a few words that now come to mind thinking about this experience. I’ve never met anyone — especially through Rover — who had seemingly gone above and beyond to match an existing routine. The true tell was that my dog was willing to take Avary on our USUAL hour-long night walk; something he highly protects. It was so clear that he was completely comfortable after less than a day and was happy to be able to stick to his pretty standard routine because of how well Avary learned and stuck to it too. Would 100% ask back again (and will)!!!”

“Isabel was fantastic with our pup while we were away. She was communicative, attentive, and clearly took great care of him. The regular updates gave us so much peace of mind. Highly recommend!”

About: What sets me apart is the level of care and intuition I bring to every animal I work with. I’m not just a sitter—I genuinely understand dogs on a deeper level. I’ve helped deliver puppies, cared for senior dogs with patience and attention to their changing needs, and I have hands-on experience rehabilitating abused and neglected animals. That means I’m calm, observant, and able to read behavior quickly—whether it’s a nervous rescue or an energetic puppy still learning boundaries. I’m especially comfortable with puppies (potty training, basic commands, structure) and senior dogs who need a slower pace, medication, or extra comfort. I also naturally go above and beyond—whether that’s making sure routines are followed closely, giving extra affection, or keeping a close eye on subtle changes in behavior or health. Outside of sitting, caring for animals is just part of who I am. I regularly feed and look out for stray animals, and I treat every dog like they’re my own. Your pet won’t just be watched—they’ll be understood, protected, and genuinely cared for. As an only child, I’ve always found a deep sense of comfort and connection in caring for dogs. Being able to meet their needs, earn their trust, and give them love brings me a genuine sense of purpose and fulfillment. It’s something that feels natural to me, and it’s a big part of why I’m so dedicated to the care I provide. I have a large, fully fenced yard with low grass, which creates a safe and comfortable space for dogs to walk, play, run, and enjoy plenty of outdoor time.

About: What sets me apart is the loving home environment I can offer your pet. I live with my family, and my retired parents are always around — so your dog will have extra eyes on them throughout the day during their stay, while I remain their dedicated primary caregiver. We have a spacious backyard with plenty of grass to run and play, all within a fully gated yard for your peace of mind. I also have the flexibility to work from home, meaning your pup won't be left alone — they'll have consistent company, attention, and care from morning to night. I've been a dog owner since the age of 7, so caring for pets is truly second nature to me. Over the years I've developed a deep understanding of the care, patience, attention, and love that every pet deserves. As a lifelong dog owner, I know how important it is to find someone you can genuinely trust with your furry family member, and I'm committed to giving every pet that same level of dedication. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work from home with a 9-5 schedule, which gives me the flexibility to provide consistent care and attention throughout the day — whether the stay is at my home or yours. Your pet won't have to spend long hours alone, as I'm able to check in, take breaks, and dedicate quality time to them regularly. When boarding or sitting in my home, your pet's safety and comfort are my top priority. We have a spacious backyard with plenty of grass, fully gated so your dog can run, explore, and play freely without worry. My home is a calm, welcoming environment with attentive supervision from both myself and my retired parents who are home throughout the day. I do have one small dog of my own — she is sweet and well-mannered, but tends to be shy around other dogs and prefers her own space. I want to be fully transparent about this so we can make sure it's a good fit for your pet. For the right dog, this is actually a relaxed and low-stress dynamic. When caring for pets in your home, I bring that same level of attentiveness and respect — following your routines, keeping your pet comfortable in their own environment, and giving you updates so you always have peace of mind.

“Ashley came through when I needed a pet sitter last minute. I'm not always sure exactly when I'll need a sitter, so it's extremely helpful to me when those caring for my pet are flexible and can adjust to accommodate my needs. Ashley was on time and took special care of my almost 11-year-old rescue dog who has separation anxiety and some health challenges. I plan to request Ashley again as my schedule gets busy and I need someone to care for my fur baby. She is reliable and attentive and responds quickly to calls and texts.”

“Tedy was absolutely exceptional at house and cat sitting during my first trip in several years. Both cats instantly fell in love with her, she kept my home tidy, and really made me feel safe and assured knowing they were safe and loved in her hands. Tedy is now a friend and the sitter I will rely on forever, she’s amazing.”
