House Sitting in Hillside

Rima was fantastic watching our two dogs! One of my dogs in particular is extremely shy around new people, but Rima was so patient with him. She sent frequent videos showing how he slowly warmed up to the point where he felt comfortable coming to her for pets. It was a huge relief knowing our anxious pup was in such good hands. Rima also took wonderful care of our home, it was cleaner than when we left it :)

We are so glad we came across Emily! She was nothing short of amazing when it came to watching our big fur baby for a few nights. She communicated detailed updates twice a day, and sent with pictures. I did my best to make sure she was comfortable and provided the instructions as our dog does have specific needs. She handled everything perfectly! Our stress of leaving him quickly disappeared. Highly recommend Emily!

Brittany took great care of our two dogs and cat while we were away for a weekend trip. She sent us daily updates with plenty of photos and was extremely responsive. Thanks Brittany!

Riss is wonderful! From the start, she was easy to communicate with and responded quickly. Our dogs loved her and you can tell from the pics she updated us with that they were happy girls. Will certainly recommend!

Amy was absolutely amazing and I would highly recommend her. Me and my fiancé were very reluctant to go away for our anniversary, but we felt very relaxed with Amy staying with our dog Alex. She was extremely detail oriented, communicated often about Alex’s behavior/ food habits, etc. and took initiative. She was focused on his overall well being, his interests and sent us photos. Your dog will be in great hands with Amy!!!!

Janice was absolutely amazing sitting for our shy/anxious pup! He warmed up to her right away and had so much fun getting belly rubs, walks, and treats. She sent us tons of photos and updates, which we really loved because we are overprotective dog parents :) We couldn't recommend Janice more!

Let me just start by saying how bad my separation anxiety is from my dog. I hate leaving her in general, and I bring her almost everywhere I go. I was also a little hesitant to have someone stay at my house to when it wasn’t someone I had known. Now I have to follow up to tell everyone that is looking for a sitter-Aliza was great and trustworthy! My schedule isn’t the easiest to accommodate to for a meet & greet. She was so patient with the back and forth when I was trying to meet her, before my trip. While we had a hectic situation at home involving a power outage, she was just so willing to make sure my Gwen was taken care of and comfortable. Aliza was communicative and easy going. I will absolutely be rebooking her!

Caroline was terrific. She set up an online meetup before our booking, was prompt in sending updates, made sure Louise got the appropriate medication and was very responsible in looking after Louise. Caroline is a compassionate pet sitter and we will definitely use her again!

I was delighted to discover that Meg lives within walking distance of my house. Our dog, Cobalt, is not a big kisser, but when Meg came over for a pre-visit, Cobalt immediately warmed to her and gave her kisses. That was great to see and made us feel good about hiring her. We hired Meg to spend time with Cobalt today, while my wife was having outpatient surgery. Our schedule was driven by the surgery team and wasn’t exact. As it turned out, we had to leave home earlier than expected and got home a few hours earlier than planned. Meg was very flexible and great to work with. We will definitely seek her out the next time that we need a dog sitter.

Marielle was great! We have a 19 year old cat - Brian. When we first booked Marielle, his care instructions were relatively standard. Unfortunately, before our travels, there was a deterioration in Brian's health. adding complexity to his care - mostly the addition of fluids administered subcutaneously. Marielle, was not deterred by this change and took on the task of learning how to administer the fluids for her stay. This gave us the confidence that Brian was with a caring and compassionate sitter and we were able to proceed with our travel plans. Would recommend and would be glad to have Marielle watch Brain again.

Cassie was incredible with our 1.5 year old cockapoo. She was very responsive, and took him for daily walks, and kept him entertained and stimulated. We felt comfortable knowing he was in good hands while we were away!

Katherine is a lovely individual who did a great job caring for Louise. She was showed up on time, took Louise on walks and played with her in Louise’s dog run. Katherine sent pictures throughout the day and even washed Louise’s dishes after her meal. Very professional. We would absolutely hire her again.

This was our first time leaving our baby puppy with a sitter. Olivia did a great job!!! She came early so as to calm my nerves and allow me time to show her around. She sent me text messages and pictures which I more than appreciated! I'll be using her services again!

We were visiting the area and booked a cruise on the Hudson. We were unable take Archie and Eleanor came to the rescue! She was flexible, having to reschedule from the morning to the afternoon. Thank you so much for helping with Archie. Would highly recommend Eleanor!
